Strange Scene at an Execution. A let ter lrom Ystad, in Sweden, contains an account of a strange and revolting scene at an execution, which took place there on the 28ih of January i Thatiday having been fixed for the de capitation of a journeyman butcher, nam ed Marcusson and woman named Beiilla IVilsdntler. for having murdered the hos- band of the latter, a vast number of the Deasantrv arrived on the nrevious even- 1 ing. and bivouacked in the town all night. Although lor sixty years: no execution had taken place in the province, and for up wards of eight years none in all Sweden, it was nonso much curiosity which at tracted the multitude,) as the desire to swallow aldrop of the blood of the crim inals at the moment it should spurt from beneath the axe of the executioner, it be ing a popular belief in Sweden that it renders the weak strong, cures all sorts of maladies, and secures a long life. When the scaffold was erected the people as sembled round with cups, glasses, bowls, some even with large saucepans to catch the blood. The w oman was first behead ed and then the map, The anxiety of the spectators was very great, and the moment the man's head was severed they broke through the line of soldiers. The soldiers to drive them back, lustily em ployed the butt ends of their muskets, and a desperate conflict ensued. At last the crowd succeeded in reaching the scaffold; but, in the meantime, the police had plac ed the bodies in a cart, and had sent them off under a strong escort of cavalry. They had. however, to take the precau tion of removing, by spades and pick axes, the portions of the road on which drops of blood happened to fall, to pre vent the people from lapping up the blood.

CKCXER, Editor & Prspriettr. Voltii. SaliAbury, 3f. C. No 45 MONDAY EVLMG, MARCH 17, 1851. LOSE OF THE THIRTY-FIRST CONGUESS. The Natiorml Intelligencer of the 6th instant says: After a continuous sitting ol twenty-five hours, (with the exception of a brief recess by the House of Represen v , r 1 journed sine die at noon on Tuesday, j Contrary to all appearance and antici pation, at four o'clock on Tuesday morn ing, the Senate, having laid by the Iliyer and Harbor Bill for lhat purpose, proceed ed to the consideration of lhe various bills on its table ; and if all was not done that could have been wished, all the measures essential to the due action of the several Departments of the Government were ma tured and became laws. These compre hend the appropriation bills for the vari ous branches of the public service, which, with such others as were finally acted on. will be found in the List of Acts in ano.ib er column. Every bill not found in lhat list failed, of course, to receive the sane tionsof law. Of the measures which fail ed, the most imjiortant was the River and Harbor Bill. This the majority in the Se ate stood. by firmly to the last, when, the minority having the power to defeat it by prolonging the debate through the few re maining hours of the session, the majority. unwilling to sacrifice for a barren victory to J those measures indispensable for carrying on the Government, patriotically yielded the contest, and consented to lay that bill aside and occupy the short remainder of the session in considering and passing the appropriation bills; thus dissipating the otism of the Senate. rr., ri . r, . , 1 he House of Representatives, not less faithful in the last hours of the session, al- so did its duty, remaining in session up to th? meridian hour. .... . . , , ... And thus has been averted the possible necessity for an Extra Session. Whilst referring to an Rxtr Srssinn s. a probable contingency, it is proper that we should state that we have reason to doubt whether, under any circumstances, the expedient of an Extra Session to rme dy the non-action of Congress would have been resorted to by the Executive. Previous to the adjournment of the Se nate, a vote of thanks to the Hon. W. R. K- r. i . f,i c . ing, rresident of the benate, was unani - , mously adopted, to which Mr. King re- sponded in a neat and pertinent speech and in the House of Representatives like compliment was paid to the Hon. Howell Cobb, its Speaker, who also made an appropriate response. IRISH POTATOES. The best qualities of this article are , novv SPUing reHdily in our market at 81 75 per bushel.

D I STRESS ING EVENT. It beeornes- our painful duty to record an in cident vhi h has e pre ad the deepest gloom our this whole community. On last Friday night, after Colonel A.dbew Motz, one of the proprietors of Laure Cotton Factory. near ibis place, hadclosed bui ness, he startedjor his residence, since which he has not been seen ; and the only indication of his sad fate is the discovery of his hat and the fastening eard of his cloak, toond in the water below Slade's bridye, over which he bad to pass to his home. At -tbe time he left his place of business to proceed to his residence, whi- li wa between 8 and 9 oYIrk at nihi, it was very dark, and that daiknesa deepened by a heavy rain, attend ed by a strong wind blowing fiercely. The reason bH gave for turning out in such inrlrm ent weaiher, was his anxiety to reach his family who looked for him earlier in the evenin". - - Col. Morz was an enterprising business man; and therefore, his absence on Fridav ni"ht and Saturday morning was ascribed to business en gagements ; but as soon as his relatives express ed uneasiness ai bis protracted disappearance, alarm for his safety seized upon the whole com munity ; and a diligent searrh ha bepn prose, cuted ever since. All the boats in reach are in constant use. the liver has been carefully ex amii ed for miles, and every effort has been made to -recover the body ; hut up to this time. ! (Wednesday morning,) no further discoveriei baV(. h(.pn H j In addiiioi to the general exertions, the Odd Fellows and the Sons of Temperance, (of boib of whirh Order. Col. Motz was a highly ..hied member.) held meetings respectively, on ln- day night,. passing resolves to continue the search as long asrhope held out a prospect of 1 success. In pursuance ol an order of his assemmfa brethren of Odd Fellows, a. Joat was built in a few hours on Tuesday, constructed especially lor a thorough search of the bottom of tie streams. As the bridge was broad, and Cot. Motz ery active man, tbe impression prevails, in some minds, that he met with foul play ; but ibis is only supposition. He was an amiable, kind.
