The Toronto Globe of Wednesdey, Feb. tie, 1.864, contained a long account of a terfigQtlY 1.5.11eWla at the time as The Green- stited Tragedy,' the vietira being William Greenwood, who was to have been axe - cubed for murder on the very morning on 104011 his body was found hanging by a towel from the wiaclow bees id Ids cell. This twos before the abolition of public" executions, and the fame of the man and iof V,v crimes were f10 great t,hat thousands of People Ja ocked tato the city, and an Immense crowd had assembled to witness the awful speotaele r;:f the ignominious :mice -alien of alone,* creature. Au idea of the state oI affairs may be gleaned from the following extract from the Globe of the date referred to There were thousands of sitaaagers in the city, who bad arrivea the previous night, and long before daybreak all quiet a the city was abolished by the rattle of farmers' waggons ceming in from all parts of the surrounding country loaded with men'women and children to witness the exeoution. Ertindreds wended their -way with the first etreak of dawn to the old rair Field in order to soled good positions from whieli to see the un- fortunate man. latmehed into eternity.' When therefore it was whispered abroad that the critaival had cheated thogallows, :and the people, whose worst passions bad been aroused btbe demoralizing influeucee -which always attend a public: execution, realized that they were to be deprived of the darling privilege of :seeing a 'banging,' the excitement which prevailed throegla out the city may be more eeeily imagined than described. If anything cool:lel:aye 'intensified or increased that eicitereout I t would. here been the rumor which for sometine° prevailed, befere the truth' became kaowa, that the reason the execution wasnot to take place in public was that the autho- rities had received intimation that a, rescue would be attempted by fiorneof the doomed nean's frionde. A preposterous 'rumor -wet abroad thatthe• man was not dead at elle and that the body which several had seen at the jail was one brought Speahtlly for the purpose of exhibiting it as that of aGreenwood. So great was the turmoil Oc- casioned by the growing belleathatraLwas •eaot rightthat • the corpse was ' brought down from the jail and exhibited in front of the city hall hi order to preventa riot. Even then -many refused to -bo-satisfied, and fights of greater or less magnitude oc- carred throughout the day in different parts theoity. This Was before the present jail ?was opened. The prisoner was confined in aeon in the building nevi known as the 'old jail.' He had beau condemned for the ..murde- of the illegitimate child.of a Woman llaanea Agnes Marshal, with whom he had been on terms of crinainel .intimacy, The -proof of. his guilt was fortheoniing doing ins trial for the murder of another woman named Catharine Walsh and her ohila, of -which also Greenwood was believed to have been the father.

At about 6 o'clock Mr. Adams' son having occasion to look into Ids fatherai cistern came in and told Iris mother that it was half full of clothes. Taking the pele or hook used for drawing water they attemptecl to turn over what they supposed to be e loose bundle of clothes, when the dead woman's face came to the surface. Tha cistern is built of brick and freestone, and is only six feet deep, With it circular open- ing at the top not more then twenty 'lichee in diameter, while the water in it is less than three feet deep. The • cover of the cistern was found propped up with the pole used for drawing water, and no pail, bucket, or any other vessel was near the spot. M. Adams' house is loa yards or more front gr. Ross', and directly in the opposite direction from that in which the sick child lay. The deceased was a large • woineu, and it eppeats utterly impossible. that she could have fallen into the cistern by accident, even had she reason to pass it. She leaves a husband and grown upfaraily, and so far as known elle lived very happily with them.

A. case in point was yesterday discussed in, the eynocl at Montreal, the essential 'facts of which are as follows. A woman, . whose fair fame had not even been breathed upon, recently became a meraber of the Istesby- terian °burgh in Arthur, Several veers prior to that event, she lied married one Lewis, who left her end went for a time to New York, 'where he openly committed adultery by living with enotlaer woman.

After a time she became finale:as te secure a separation fro:xi him, but thoughher case was so clear that Parliament would not have hesitated one hour to snap the bond, the frightful ex - reuse attending an appeal to that court pladed its assistance beyond her reach: Acting upon advice she went to the states and in time obtairiecl a divorce, which may et may not be valid in this ceu.ntry, .That els hot the question, and if it were is too deep • for laymen or even clergymen to decide.

With that part of the case, we, of mime, have nothing • to de, but as much cannotbe said of the positionin which Mrs. Phillips from the first found hersolf placed She had done no wrong; her husband, on his part, had committed the gravest crime against the marriage relation—a crime *Inch in tho eyes of every candid person, and of civil and church law entitled het to be relieved from so odious a anion.
