London, Sept. 14.  This morning Elizabeth Brownrigg was
carried from Newgate to Tyburn and there executed, pursuant
to her sentence on Saturday last for the murder of Mary
Clifford her apprentice.  She behaved with great composure
of mind, joining with the ministers in prayer, and singing
an hymn.-- The crowd assembled to see her go, and at Tyburn,
was perhaps never exceeded at any execution.
