TO SLEEP. FROM THZ LITIMARY MAOIST!. O gentle power, I court thy kind embrace; Come o'er my eyelids save thy shun wand; Pale melancholy's crowding phantoms clime, And soothe my sorrows with thy sluitibita blend. Oh I why veils thou the sons of health taress, And still the mourner's ineocadon spurn ? My downy pillow see in •ain I press, And nightly on the conch of sickness turn t I wake when all Is hushed.

The young woman was in the Emily way, and likely to become chargeable to the parish; and he wished to know if the husband could not be made to do something for her. Mr. MA satore--Ilow long have you been marled t Applicant—Duly six months. Mr. MAamorr declared it was a most abominable act, hut the only remedy the parish had was to make the fellow support the child, as In other cues. * 1 Mr. Noble said, that morally speaking, shy was decidedly his wife.; the marriage had been solemniiNd in Ireland by a Catholic Priest. Mr. Alaaalorr—The marriage is decidedly illegal. It is most scandalous and elb.graceful on the part of the Roman Catholic Priests to marry persons, which they do for a paltry fee. when they know that the marriage is illegal. Applicant—The marriage is good in Ireland. Dln ‘.l A satorr expressed his astonishment that the applicant could place her faith in such Priests, who had so cruelly deceived her; 'bat be could do nothing In' the caw.

In chest depositions it will be recollected that Mitchell declared having tented near Page and Ay res, In the ntighbourhoed of the murdered man's cottage, and having had repeated propocdi made by Page to assist him in assassinating the old man, proposah which he abhorrently rejected. His wife's testimony was to the same effect. When Mitchell's evidence had been read over, Page said, laugh. lug, " Welt, thank Gob, I am as innocent* Man as mry Gentleman present." The■ turning to Mitchell, be said, " Yon know you have told falsehoods all through ; your oath is pot to be believed.— You know you wanted me many time+ to steal horses with you." Mr. Onastatas then addressing Mitebell, said, " Now on your solemn oath you swear that all you have stated against the ptisonen is true, and that you have no malice against them, dor expect at:y reward or pecuniary advantage to accrue from that which you hare given in evidence 7" Alitchell.—" I declare most solemnly that what I have stated is true, and that I have neither ill-wilt nor malice towards any of the Irisoners, nor expect any reward for louring forward on the occasion." Page then exclaimed, that he thought Mitchell himself was the murderer and added, " Thank G'on, my mind is easy under the consciousness of innocence, and, I care not if I were to suffer to. marrow, knowing in my own heart that lam an innocent man." Mr. Cnastssa;—There is evidence to prove that Mitchell was at work at Mr. Pattenden's in Kent, when the murders were per petrated. Both prisoners here reiterated their declarations of innocence, cbarging.Mitcheil and his wife with having invented all they bid said. Mr. Cuestaaas then asked the prisoners whether they chow to give any account of themselves on the night of the i2th and t h e morning of the 13th of October last? cautioning them against saying sorbing which might afterwards be brought against them. -Page said that be could bring witnesses to prove where he wain' the night of the murder. He then entered into a long account of his proceedings from the Sunday before Old Michaelmas Day up to the period of his apprehension. He said that he and Mary Ayres, in company with a man called by the nickname of Williain Pig, and his wife's hmher, called Dumpling George, Robert Bignell and his wife, had gene from Andover to Weyhi ll together on the Monday morning before the fair - where they had stayed till Saturday mom ing the 14th of October—that be and a man of the name of Murphy had fought at Weyhill, and that in the fight his Bose bled, which had occasioned the blood on the flannel jacket found in bit pack when apprehended. He declared that Dumpling George was pre sent all the time, and that it was on a Sunday night at Marlow fair that Mary lest heard that her grandfather bad been killed. From thence they ireceeded to Egham, Rhere, on the 4th of November, Mary left him to go to her mother's to enquire abiat her grand father's being killed. At this stage of the business a pair of pincers were psoduced, with which it was suposed the murders were committed, and on which then appeared to be a 'pig produced by blood. Page looked at them, and said, that if they were his, there could be no bloid upon them, unless it had been put by the constable wild had taken them. Mary Ayres then corroborated the statements made by Page in every particular. The Magistrates bad originally advised the prisoners to send for the patois whom they bad named ; and en Pagi replying dial they haw money, and did not know where to find those perms, as key were tramper like themselves. Mr. Commas observed that be should take care and have those rwitnesses in their behalf, of whom they spoke, bnuodst forward if they were to be found in England. The Magistrate on the occasion then directed Mr. Hall. the chief constable, and Pimle, the officer, to proceed in the direction that they were meet likely to fall to with the parties whom they wanted. The officers,.after travelling many hundreds of miles, in the course of which they experienced many difficulties, at length succeeded in tainting those persons whose testimony was so important to have in the investiptiOn if the martlers.—The evidence of those witnesses was in lanai of the prisoners.
