TO THE REDBREAST. Yes, my sweet bird ! the dull decaying year Aluch needs thy music, for the suns of Spring Sit in the silent shade with flagging wing, And still Creation waits, with anxious ear, Thy ever pleasing sung. Thou seem'st to me The cherub Consolation at the bed Of withering Age, when summer friends are led, ('peering his hours with heavenly minstrelsy ! Like the declining year, I too have known The sweet Spring-time, in cloudless beauty fair, And Winter's storms may find me left alone, linscreen'd and naked as the leafless tree • Thrice happy, Olen !•wouild Heaven in merry spare, One friend as constant and as true u thee ! OLD BAILE Y. DECEMBER 7. CONDUCT OF THE SUMMONING ( FFICER, AND FLIGHT OF HIS DEPUTY. Saturday List, Mr. Ames, of Lower-street; Islington, applied to be excused from serving on the Jnry in the evening, on account or urgent private business. The ap plication being refu-ed, Mr. Ames then statad that se veral of his neighbours had been excused by paying a gratuity : hence he considered tliat those who never tampered with the officer should be allowed a reason able indulgence. Tills statement led to an inquiry, when Mr. Griffith Todd, and several other Gentlemen of the Jury, Cully established its correctness. The Court, then ordered the case to be brought forward this day, and gave notice for the summoning officer and his de puty (the person charged with taking bribes) to attend. At nine o'clock this morning, Mr. Seijeant ARABIN, Sir JAMES SHAW, and Mr. Sheriff BROWN, took their seats, %%hereupon Mr. ,Shelton, the Clerk of the Ar raigns, inquired whether the officers, whose presence was required, were in attendance? when he was in formed that the principal was in Court, but his deputy was not. The summoning officer then stood forth, and stated that the person who acted as his deputy (and who had been accused of malpractices) left town yes terday for Bristol. • JUDGE—How came it that he left just now, when he must have been aware of the requisition to attend the Court? Officer—l believe he is gone in consequence of the' death of a brother, or brother-in-law. ALDERMAN —This eonchict is extremely wrong. It is only' a few days since this matter was before the Court, and it is impossible but to think that the party whose presence is required must have known of the fact; or, if he did not,.it was the imperative duty of the sum moning officer, who is answerable for the conduct of those he employs, to have informed him. Sir J. SHAW again expatiated on the extraordinary and culpable conduct of the officer. It was quite clear,, from the acknowledgment of several respectable per-1 sons, that bribes had been tendered and received ; there fore, as the matter involved the privileges of all persons eligible to serve on Juries, and the dignity of the Court, as well as the character of one of its officers, he would again express his determination that the subject should be fully investigated. —The COURT then conferred for a considerable time ; after which, Sir JAMES SHAW said the Court had come to a de termination that a public prosecution should be insti tuted against the summoning officer, and that process of action should issue forthwith. _ _ _ On heating the communication, the officer said he hoped the Court would alter their determination, on account of his having a large family. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN told 'aim he had no right to complain, as he had brought all upon hiiiiself by his own conduct and wilful neglect. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, DECEMBER 7. Antonio Massr, an Italian, and dealer in clothes, re siding at No. 3, Thackum's-court, Church-lane, Strand, was indicted for receiving goods, the property of Mr. Weiss, of the Strand, knowing the same to be stolen. The prisoner was found Guilty on two several charges, and sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment in the House of Col rection, and hard labour. Richard Sheldrakc was charged with a misdemeanor, in personating bail on the 10th of October, 1823, at Marlborough-street office. There was another charge against him for a similar act committed eu the 29th of o..tober, 1823. From the office books, produced by Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk of Marlborough-street, it appeared that on the 2d October, one John Mac Gibbon was charged with an assault, and committed to Tuthill-fields prison from want of bail. On the 10th of the same month he came forward with tsso sureties, one in the name of Henry Dobson, of No. 77, Curtain-road. The person who gave this name and address, was proved by one of the officers, to have been the pi ironer at the bar. Mac Gibbon not having subsequently appeared to answer to the charge, the recognisances became forfeited, and in qairy having been made at 77, Curtain-road, it was found that the prisoner was not the person he repre sented himself to be. Henry Dobson said be resided, on or about the 10th of October, in the Curtain-toad. He knew the pri soner, who occasionally transacted business for him in the oil trade, for which he paid him a commission. Oa the 10th of October, 1823, prisoner asked him to take a wtilk towards lklarlborougli-street Office. He did so, but he had nn idea at the time th it he intended to r fen himself as bail. Witness had no experience in matters of load. His bail was refused twice in civil suits, and he was once sent to Newgate, because he told the truth. This was tie evidence in the first case ; the second char?n WAi not gene into. Verdict—Guilty. fire se.,tence ul the Court was, that he should be im prisoneJ for eighteen months in the House or Correction, and kept to hard labour. • Robert Johnson, a miserable-looking wretch, was found Guilty of stealing a pewter pot in the house of a publican, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. At the time of his apprehension there we: e found upon his person seven'uther pint and quart pots, belonging to diffe:ent publicans ; the charge of stealing on the premise, however, could not be brought home to him, except in the single instance. Patrick Sheehan, the particulars of whose case were mentioned in our Paper of Monday last, was brought tip to receire the sentence of the Conn, which was, that he be confined six months in the House of Cur tec tion, and to be kept to hard labonr. The business of the Session having closed, the Court adjourned to Thursday week. The Horse Fairs at Newton Stewart, aild Kelton Hill, were well attended by dealers, and lively young an: mals sold remarkably high. Roth roadsters and strong horses fit for draught brought in some elus from £4O. to £5O. BREACII OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. • The following are a hatch of Love Letters, which were read in Coma in the action Wharton v. Lewis, for a Breach of Promise of Marriage, far which we bad not room in our Parer of yesterday : To Miss WHARTON, Warborough, near Shillingford, Oxon. London, Nov. 26, 1623. I received your letter, my dearest Amelia, on Monday morning, and sincerely regret you so much feel my absence. Why, my Milly, do you ask me if I will leave you? No, I never will ; whatever ma . happen I will meet it, and feel assured that having your love, I must be supported and finally triumph. Do not make yourself unhappy; I think everything will he done for you. I hope your father by this time is returned. You tell me how much you regret the little quarrel (no, I must not apply so harsh a term, and say,jeux d'antour) we had ; you know I love end adore you. Milly, when you behold me a lifeless corpse, think I no longer love you, but while I have life and strength, I will labour to support, and hope by kindness and affection to make you happy. Why do you ask me any news concerning the Clarkes? I have not seen Mr. C. since I have returned, nor is it likely ; but you must think me a desperate villain, if I could so cruelly trifle with yout feelings. You know, my dearest Amelia, all men are open to flattery, and I must confess lam equally guilty with others. We know that vanity generally follows flattery, and of the former you make me acknowledge, I possess no small stock, when I say, I am vain to think (may I dare say I feel convinced of it) your soul is wrapped in me. When you v-11 your all is centered in me, I believe it, and if I am in error, I regret it ; but your unbounded affection and kind ness towards me, have compelled me to believe that you live for me. Of nay own devotion I trust words are not required—my actions, I hope, will satisfy you how truly I love you—you engross my whole thoughts. One proof I will give you—you have often told me how much more happy you should be if I were to study ; I shall have some new books, and intend to apply most closely to study, as I know it is a certain fortune, and what would I not do for my poor little Milly 7 I hope at Christmas to get out of debt, and by prudence and economy to be. able to take out a small stock of things that will be useful and respectable. Make the bas kets as soon as you can. I pity nay want to send them out. I saw Frank, and he really expressed himself towards you in a very kind manner. I shall see him presently. Your muff is done. I will not send it yet, until I hear from you. I have bought two rugs for Jones, and I have sent the list of the prices of the cups and saucers. My father has given me a set of new Doyleys. I saw Rumford, on Sunday, and I think I shall be able to get some letters from him. When I leave Fagiand be has premised to take me to some of the big wig's parties, it cannot do me any harm, and perhapitmay do some good. Louisa sharp is, or shoot to be married, so no more of her. Hester told ane of it. 1 have a great idea I shall become a proficient in ---, and I know that will make my Milly very proud. Let me in treat you, my beloved Milly, no more to ask me if I will leave you ; as it appears as if you doubted me, and I know you are one of the contrary ; as every thought is turned on you, and that it will even be my pride and study to possess your affection and deserve the appellation of your affectionate and devoted WILLIAM LEWIS. Give my best regards to your father and Mrs. W. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, and aunt, and many • • • to little aunt. Compliments to Harcourts. You write on Friday, I shall get it on Saturday. AU Where send their love, as well as Mary Hogan. GOD bless you, lazy 'dearest Milly. TO MY DRARYST MILLY. I am now unhappy„my, dearest Amelia ; my brutal conduct to 1 you last night burrs me. Oh„coold Y recal those words, I would sacrifice everything. 1 was must decidedly in the wrong. Can you doubt my affection and love? I confess my temper was never the most amiable, but of late I have had much to distract nte. Re member, my blessed 111i11y, " to err is human, to forgive divine." I sincerely trust my.penitenee will convince you how much I Am ashamed 'of my conduct ; you .know my Milly, temper is not at all times to be checked; Goo knows, AIM, every one seems to envy us, and it is cruel and wicked for us to envy each other; I can only say, I nev e r again will hurt your feelings, but live only for you, and I trust you will never have cause to regret having forgotten so great an outrage committed on your feelings by your affectionate and de voted, but miserable Willy. I wiU give you permission, if I again offend, in word or deed, to leave me; and then you know,„my Milly, the world will be nought without you. Pray forgive me, and let me once again possess your truly affectionate heart.—Goo bless you. - Sunday morning, Nine o'clock. To my dearest Amelia —How can I, my dearest Amelia, em ploy this morning better than in addressing a few lines to you ? I bane bad a most wretched night ; I have been awake since five o'elock this morning—my beloved Willy. I cannot live without you. I woke in the night; I dreamed I was near you; I could only look at the moon, which shone in at the window, and offer a short prayer for my blessed Amelia. Did you see me, you would have pitied me. I know not where to go, or what to do. lam the picture of wretchedness ; I can think of nothing but you—you occupy my whole thoughts. Oh, Amelia, do pray see if any arrange ments can be made at Warborough for me. lam melancholy be yond description, and rather than decrease, it increases daily— what, my love, shall I do? I have just now sent down the ring to Mrs. Wharton ; I hope it will be the proper size. To-morrow I hope to hear from you. The only consolation I have is to look often at your affectionate letter. lam wild—l cannot write—l can only add, GOD bless you, and that you may recover your health soon, is the prayer of, your truly affectionate and devoted, though unhappy, WM. LEWIS. London, Nov. 29, 1223. Why is my dearest Amelia unhappy? Ah, AIM', if you knew how unwell I am, how very miserable and unhappy I pass my time, you would indeed pity me; last evening I was very bad, in deed, so much so, I sent to the Doctor's for medicines, and this morning am still very so so. Frank supped with us last night; he, no doubt, when he writes to you (which will be to-day or to-mor row) will inform you how poorly I was. Yeti have written to Miss Holloway, I hear; I very much regret your father being a loser by George; make yourself happy; everything will be done; I have this moment seen Frank, and arrangements will be made for everything. Amelia, my love, I shall be too happy to see you in town; they never shall, nay they cannot separate us; we are not under the cartoon' of any one; I have wherewith to support you. If I have only a crust, and my blilly says she will share it with me, I must be happy. I shall be firm, arid pray you be the same. Ds; not talk to me of separation, the very thought is madness: you must share alike my misfortunes and happiness; we must hope, that, supported by Peuvrozsce, aided by patience, and effected by perseverance, we shall overcome aU obstacles ; no dffliculties will be considered; I only wish to possess you; when you come to town we shall have it in our power to be happy, and then we will put it out of the power of any one to disunite us. Rumford need not take me to any parties if I have not you. I assure you Ido not go for pleasure but duty. If I be likely to get any good recqm mendations, I am assisting to provide for a kind and affectionate girl, whom I hope soon to call by the endearing title of wife, and I. hope your father does not despair. I saw my brothers on Thursday, they inquired very kindly after you. lam glad Mrs. Harcourt called on Mrs. Jones; neighbours are much better friends than enemies. I will send your muff down as soon as I can • I will di rect it to be left at the Post-office, Shillingford. I can; I shall send Mrs. Jones's rug by Stevens, on Tuesday, also addressed be left at the post-office. I wish, my dearest Amelia, we wry llnded in India, or even on our voyage. Have you any idea where your father will reside, should he come to town ? What happy hours we shall pass together ; I trust that that Powza above which has so often witnessed our vows, will watch over and never let us he separated. What does Jones or your sister say ? Now is the time for them both to prove the sincerity of their professions; they have it in their power, and could assist you if they pleased. It is impossible to do any g ood at study now; lam too unhappy and very unwell.—l cannot pass a moment without thinking on you,—and I fet I assured you are the same: when do you think you will be in town ?—I do not suppose I shall come down to Warborough, but if I do not, I will come to Hounslow or Brentford to meet you ; I am convinced your father will do all in his power,—but still if he r has it not we cannot blame him ; when do you think he will come to town?—l suppose Mrs. W. will follow, and you remain at Mrs. Jones's till after her confinement; you will present my compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Jones—your father and Mrs. W. and aunt, and believe me, my dearest and blessed Milly, your devoted and affectionate WILLIAM LEWIS. Keep up your spirits, my love—we must hope for better times . . ... Keep up your spirits, Gov bless you ;be happy. I shall be most glad to see you; have you hear.. from George—when does your father intend to be in tows?— London, Friday evening (no date, but received in Dec. 1823). I gladly avail myself of this opportunity of addressing you, my dearest :Agit! beloved Amelia ; I am rather hurt, my love, you did not write to me. I am aunt anxious for your father to remain in the counti y, as you will be away from them all. The cloud now I hope will clear up, and the sun-shine will cheer us. Be comforted —what can 1 say to my Mill more than I have already stone? Pray tell me how I can convince you of what I have most sincerely protessed—profesaiono that are not empty, but oily want an op portunity to prove my love ? It there be a heaven on earth, 'ds in virtuous love, and I feel assured I possess your love, and Heaven knows it is pure and virtuous. I cannot value it too highly. I do not fret, my Mal. I have a most violent cold. Your muff is I done, and your father will bring it down to you. Shall I tell Frank you will pay him for it, or shall I say I will? I have not forgotten your little commission • but really I have been so bothered; but I trust we shall accomplish all. My father and mother are very kind. My dearest Amelia, I can only add most solemnly that no thing shall. pr'evalt our being united. Will Milly resign every thing and follow her Willy (who can only prove by his devotion how much he loves her) to India, skare alike his fortune and his heart? If !dilly will do that we cannot fail going out happily. I hope you received the letter sent by the frank. Your father seems in much better spirits than he was.—Henry is very unwell with a swelling in the neck. I wish, my love, you would finish the othtr basket (some baskets with the names of William and Amelia Ann Lewis, worked in the Isaskets, to be sent as a present to Mr.. General Conway, at /Madras). Perhaps I may have an opportu nity of sending them out. I think in three or four months I shall be promoted. I am certain of it ; perhaps f may have been Gazetted already in India. We may now consider ourselves in dependent ; never fear, Milly, I shall, I ant convinced, have puny' happy days to spend in your society. Ido not like the manner in which George has behaved to your father. But will you give up every one for me ? You know 1 consider you and you only. My fzther asked me if you would be in town on Christmas day ? if so, he said he hoped you would dine with us. My father and mo ther desired me to ask Prank to come ; but I know not if he will, perhaps be is better engaged. When you next write, let the letter be long. I have been to Covent-garden Theatre, but I would much rather have remained at home. You must excuse the paper being torn ;it is the last sheet. Your father tells me you have looked over your outfit! What alterations have you made? I will not allow you to go out without everything requisite; I care not for myself what inconvenience I am put to, but my Milly never shall. My mother and sisters send their love to you—mote—T hope you will get your ring very safe; I sent it by your father. Do not wear it; it is very thin, and deeply chased. You must not break it again. Gon love you. Pray remember to Mrs. W. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, aunt, Mrs. H. &e. and to the young Ladies, and allow me to subscribe myself, my dearest Amelia, your affectionate and devoted WILLIA NI. I shall be very glad to see you, but I am anxious to arrange every thing as soon as I can. GOD bless you, my Milly. millions of them. London, Dec. 17,1823. I am most miserable at your silence, my beloved and dearest Amelia. Why do you not write? It is now a fortnight since I heard from you, and I know not what to think. I have not re ceived a letter since the one you sent in your father's box. Some times I think you are at the Bridge—at others—oh ! I know not what to say—if you be ill, I shall be distracted ; but wit? this silence? Pray write to me per return of post, disguise nothing from me, tell me all your troubles, and if you wish it, I will again return (immediately) to Warboro', and swear at your feet what I have so often before done — eterna l love and constancy. With you, my Milly, all will be happiness, and without you, misery. We will never be separated. But no, blilty does not love her Willy, or she would have written, and yet it's cruel to think so. She is too I sincere. I have daily expected a letter from you, and therefore would net write, but pray, if you have a spark of affection for me, write, to ease my agonised mind. I have. been very low spirited and unhappy, and your silence has increased it. Have I offended by not executing your little commissions? if that be the cause, pray forgive me, I have only thought of you; is Mrs. Jones confined Have you .got the ring? I sent a newspaper on Sunday ; your boots. are to come home to-day, I will send them by Stevens on Friday, with the velvet, &c. pray, my love, do forgive this gross and cruel neglect in not sending them ere this. but no doubt your father has told you bow very unhappy I was. I expected you wouldhave sent an answer to the letter I sent down by your father ; I know, my love, your sentiments towards me will never change. I will write by ie parcel on Friday; that we may be united, anti every blessing await my dearest and beloved Ainelia, is the constant prayer of her devoted and affectionate W. LEWIS. My father, mother, and sister send their love. Remember me to your father and Mrs. W. aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. but pray, if you love me, write, and do not disguise the reasons of your silence. You know not how very pnhappy I am; if you be firm I will and you may rest assured we shall be united, and I too happy. GOD bless you.. I'ray write, love. London, December 8, 1823. I trust, my dearest Amelia, to-morrow's post will bring me some tidings of you ; it is impossible for me to describe my feelings to day; but you no doubt have received a letter by this day's rot (Thursday). Sometimes I fancy you are at the Bridge--ratune. times, indeed, a thousand thoughts cross my mind; but I never for one moment can think it is want of affection, or that I -UV offended you in any way. I send you down a pair of boots, which I hope. will suit you ; they are thick, but I ordered them so; if you do not like, or they do not suit you, pray return them. 1 also send you the velvet for the waist, and some for the wrist. I hope, my beloved and darling Miily, you will like it—you must take the will for the deed, I wish I could send you diamonds; I also send a pot of cherry-paste for the teeth, I know you like it much for the teeth; the pen-knife and pair of scissars are my father's present; a few days since, on his return from the City, he presented each of my sisters with the same, and he gave me the knife and scissars; he said he had purchased them for you, and hoped you would be pleased with them. I need not say, Milly, how delighted I felt. 0 Maly ! if you will (Out you have already done so) swear to be mine, you will make me happy ; everything will bewell arranged : I would give you anything for a kiss. Oh, how I will give it you when we meet ! I am in hopes you do pot doubt my sincerity. Have you been from Warborough, as I have not heard from you ? I am delighted to.say we shall have rapid promotion, indeed I sin alnwst afraid to say lshat difference it will make to us (for my in terest is yours) lest you should think it incredible. Frank spent last evening with us. Laing, formerly of Taplow-court, spent the evening also with us; be leaves for India in about three weeks or a month. I intend sending the two baskets you made, my by him. Pray, my love, do not fail to write to your affectionate and devoted WM. ,LEWI& _ _ _ _ Millions, end every happiness. Rememberme kindly to your father'and Mrs. W. Mr. and Mrs. Janes and aunt. My father and mother and sisters 'end their love. Have you been away. from Warborough ? Do not en any account be induced to go to the Bridge. I will take care of you. Pray, Milly, do attend to my wishes, and do not cease to love me. Tell me why you have not written so long ? GOD bless and protect you, my beloved Amelia. Adieu. (No date, but supposed to be sow after their first acquaintance). I have sent you, my dear Amelia, the shoes, dress, biscuits, &c. I hope you will find everything CODIDK it feat. If they should not be so, pray let me know. Doubtless your brother Henry has re ceived a Iftter from vier father this morning 7 I burn with im patience co know his decision; whatever it may be, I feel assured that my dear Amelia will not be shaken. Threats or entreaties will 'but little avail. I shall come down to-day as soon as possible. You are aware I never feel so happy as when near you. I think 'shall be able to postpone my engagement at the Coburg Theatre. Present my compliments to your brother and Miss H. and believe me, my dear Amelia, your affectionate ‘rednesday morning. WILI.TA M. My sisters send their love to you, in which they are joined by Henry—no more " Mr. Lewis; or you will distress me. No date, supposed to be November or December, 1823, after the knowledge of G. Wharton 's failure. It is painful to me, my dearest and beloved Amelia, that you should have misconstrued anything which I may have said this evening, when I told you I regretted that you and I should not have the many luxuries and superfluities which I first led you to expect ; it was not said with a view fur you, to give the cruel and uncalled for answer you did. Amelia, my love, tell how I can convince you of what I have already most solemnly assured you 7—will my life prove it 7—say the words, and it is yours.—No, my Amelia, did I love you less, I should not feel half the anxiety I now do. When we arrive in ladia we shall be able to live in comfort; but not ex travagance; and I love you too much for one moment to conceal my sentiments from you, were they (which is impossible) to change. I am aware, my blessed wife (for so I will call you, and as such you are in the heavens), that when lam unhappy you are so. I assure you it is only anxiety that makes me so. But if my darling Mill will make the sacrifice, she ever will be blessed, loved, and cherished by we. But should my Milly do as you have threatened —leave me, everything else will be disregarded by me. lam a poor soldier; and if you do not regret joining your fate to mine, be assured you will ever have the prayers of your Willy, and every exertion will be made on my part to deserve the apppellation of your truly and affectionate Saturday evening. W. G. T: LEWIS. P. S. You will perceive it is written rawer hasty, and if you love me, drive the cloud which now hangs over you, and once more embrace your faithful Willy. GOD bless you, my Milly.

Defendant—Bet .I am net to be detained surely? Mr. HALLS—Yet, you must indeed, Sir. In a few moments Mr. H—mi nude -hls appearance, and parties were placed before the Magistrate* Mr. HALLS said, he supposed, from the Warrants be!or e that the defendants meditated fighting a duel, and he wia c h e , know front them if that was the case? "They could not, as men hesitate to answer the question fairly. Both Gentlemen said they did not choose-to admit anything, ki they chose to say was, that they knew not hew the inta.man„, could have reached the Office. Each seemed particularly ails that he should not be supposed to be the informer, but la yosa t ba s they refused to state anything. Mr. HALLS asked them if they knew each other?—The defend. ants said they had seen each other before. Mr. H atts— Have you quarrelled?— Roth. defendants were Ulna Mr. HALLS (to Mr. R---Ids)—l see• quite enough to c 'Psalm me, you have quarrelled. Now,, to prevent such an absurdity a c dittli have you eny objection to shake hands with your opp t m ent ? -Mr. li.—l have no desire to do so, Sir. Mr. 1-hus—Will you, Mr. shake hands with Mr. H.—l never saw this person but once, and lam not fonder shaking hands with strangers. Mr. Mats said he must have the evidence of the person upon ' whose information the warrant was granted, and Thomas Wood was called, who said he bad not heard any quarrel between the two defendants himself, but be was informed that they had spat relied, and he was requested to give information of it. Mr. H—nd—Pray did not the other defendant give you a 10i. note to buy pistols? Witness—Yes, he did. Mr. H—nd—And pray haw did you know the spot where we were to meet? (It seems the defendants were stopped on their way to the Regent's Park.) Mary-la-bonne is a large place, and how could you be so well acquainted with our route ?—Wood said hero. ceived the information from a Gentleman named Corry. After some further conversation, Mr. Haus said be had heard quite sufficient, and called ivies the defendants to enter into securs. ties to keep the peace. Yesterday, if ,Newberry, an old Irishman, was brought up in custody, charged under an old Act of Parliament, with fel*. niously harbouring his son, Edward Newberry, he being under sett. tence of transportation. About two , years ago the old man's son, at that time about 15 years old, was convicted at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. The old matt, from the moment of his son's apprehension, evinced the greatest affliction for his probable fate. About eighteen months ago the convict was seat to the hulks at Woolwich, where he conducted himself very well till last Sunday, when he contrived to escape. Information was - immediately sent to London, and search was made for the father, who was found yesterday, coming out of a lodging-house in St. Giles's. The officer stated, that on taking the old man into custody, he said he had,parted with his son the wont ing before, but he should not tell where he was, for he would not be the means of hanging his own child. The old man denied that he knew where his son was. Read, the patrol, said, if time were given him he should he able to prove a complete harbouring of the convict by his father. Mr. HALLS, upon this declaration, remanded the prisoner for MARY-LA-BONNE. Friday last a young lad of very deplorable and wretched appear. ante, but of interesting manner, cattle into the office as it was about to be chased, and, in a most affecting manner, implored from the officer (Buckridge) in waiting, some food, as he was nearly starved.
