I shall not,therefore, presume to descent upon the Lord Pri- mate's merits, any further than by (Miming that they art in full accordance with the well known principles of the noble family from which he has sprung, and which have gained for lift Orme and for them the unbounded confidence and affection of the Pro testants of Ireland; hut with respect to the Church over which his Grace, so happily for her interests, presides-14%0M as that ' Church has been by the united calumny of bigots and infidels, 1 cannot forego this opportunity of speaking.

Libe ral endowment, and princely nurture, have no: prevented her from transmitting to us a sound creed with an unpolluted liturgy, and the flames which have been kindled by unhallowed hands for , the destruction of our Zion. have (vomited only as upon fine gold, sending her forth front the furnace putter and more resplendent than ever. Let us but cnntrist, Mr. Chairman, the light in i , which the character of our calumniated Prelatea, including the i Learned Archbishop of aulilin and our own Noble Diocesan, who so happily vinditatril our slandered character before the Parlia- memory Committees of the last :session; let us, I say. contrast that light with thee' darkness t ibible, in the testimony of Popish ' Titulars, and behold upon the one tide the dignified characteristics of learned Militias prelates, and on the other. the crafty involu tions and shortsighted cunning of illiterate clowns, Invested with i a character *Lich they are unable to ,ustain, end yielding to the indents of that vulgar antipathy, which ignorance invariably cherishei against impeder intelligence.

But„ Sir, if they ore in slavery, it is to a superstiiion from *hich nothing but the grace of God, beaming upon their own darkened minds, can free them. If they drink of the bitter we' era of Babylan, it bionly because they contemptuously reject the living slaters of the gospel foun tain. and prefer the interest of a worldly faction to the safety of their immortal souls. As for us, Sir, and for mein particular, we entertain no personal hostility to them—we would gladly share with them every political privilege which we enjoy, if we thought we could do co with safety to ourselves, or even to them ; and I do solemnly protest, I do not Mink I could enjoy the happiness of heaven itself, if I could there recollect that so great a portion of my beloved countrymen had perished everlastingly.

On the motion of Mr. Dawson, Mr. Hill was unani mously called to the Chair, as the brother of their beloved Repre sentative. . . ' Mr. Iftwe, after a neat introductory speech, which we regret our limits will not permit us to give, proposed the following toasts:— The King—The Duke of York—The Glorious Memory—The 7th December, 1688—The Ist August, Ifed. All these toasts were drunk with unequivocal demonstrations of feeling. The health of Mr. Dawson was next given. Mr. Dawsox returned his warmest thanks for the manner in which they had received his health, and he should, indeed, be wanting In every feeling of gratitude to them, and respect for him self, if he did net attempt to mamas, in the warmest language which he could commend, the devotion of his heart to their inte vests, and the deep sense of obligation which tit: expression of their favour had conferred upon him. It was usual, on such occasions, In search our vocabulary fur the strongest expressions of gratitude sod thanks—some persons, in complying with this custom, do feel the full force of their own words, and some do not; for their sakes, he wished that he could command a portion of that eloquence so liberally granted by Providence to our countrymen, to express the strong feelings of warm and affectionate hearts; but, if he failed in eloquence, he brought a mind untutored in deceit, and in the sentrinents which he was now about to utter, he aimed at no other ornament than the pure, the unsullied, and irresistible force of truth. To say that he was proud of their approbation, and of his connexion with this city, were Out feeble words; he clung to it as the proudest distinction which can belong to any man in Ireland, as the best reward that can recompense any lite, however long and largely devoted to the public service. It ,was the proudest boast of some sage Of antiquity to have it said of him. hisduri a lauded° tiro—lt is his (Mr. D.'s) best reward, and his most animating stimulus to public exertion, that he represented in I the Parliament of the Empire, the loyal, the constitutional, the spirited inhabitants of this-portion of the kingdom. Full of the recollection, of the miseries which his fellow-representatives in Parliament denounce as pervading other parts of Ireland, he never approached their beautiful city without feeling . that he belonged to men of other habits and other pursuits ; in vain he sought for the lawless ruffian—the midnight assassin—the perjured violater of the laws, and the associated bands of plunderers and ineendiaries. In the happy and contemed faces which he saw about-him, he recog nised the emblems of love for the laws, and respect for the ester. blished institutions of the country ; he never walked through their well-regulated streets without finding an active, industrious, and intelligent population, proudly erect in the Consciousness of inde pendence. and graced with all the civility and court eousness,nhich the cultivation of the arts and the pursuit, of commerce confer upon a people; he never visited their walls without a glow of that enthusiasm which the mcrintain breese and fhe era-born p-ale I have infused into the hardy eitixens, as their native and peculivv• v characteristic for successive centuries. Under such impressions the coldest heart must be warmed ; the meanest understanding most be elevated with the value of the gift arising from the confidence of such men. To betray such a trust would be impossible, for all men would cry shame upon the renegade, srul to be insensible to the hoonur of your approbation would be less than human, for in what part of the empire could be found a more pore, a more honourable, or more consiitutio:Al and independent expres sion of public feeling, thud has been manifested this day ?-:ta Bar, Gentlemen, on the anniversary of this day we have other' things to commemorate than the expression of our private feelings —we are met here so celebrate the gallant and glorious actions of our ancestors, and our happy deliverance, in consequence of their exertions, from slavery and superstition. It has been meld. that the celebration of such events should be abandoned : as for himself, lie could never acquiesce in such an injunction; ouch advice can come only from those whose ancestors have left them no gloriout ; actions to celebrate, and whose principles prepare them to submit" to the trammels of slavery and superstition. To free men—to the descendants of heroes and martyrs in defence of liberty, such ad vice will be out only unwelcome, but insulting—the heart will re. redline it, and the understanding wilt reject it as contrary to the principles of education, and to the examples which history and re. ligion have furnished for our guidance and imitation. In the days of our youth, when the heart is warm and the mind un shackled by wotldly considerat ions. u pon what themes do we dwell ? To whit subjects do we refer foe refreshment and Instruction ? Do we not sympathise In the stniggles of the weak against the strong, in defence of their rights and libertini, and do we not imbibe • fondness for freedom and the rights of man, in dwellini, upon mach conflict' ? Do we not applaud the sufferings and the sacrifices of the patriot, while we detest, if we cannot break down, the despot. him of the tyrant ? Whet father would refuse to instil such lessons into the mind of his son ? What son would respeet his father, if be were ordered to turn from these contemplations ? In recurring to the chuoic recollections of our youth, does not the hurt burn in reading of the sufferings of the ci diens of Numantia in defence of their Itliertice ? Eleven years or siege. and the most frightfol deso lation of famine and disease, could not extinguish their hatred of tits invading foe—they preferred death to slavery, and out of the whole population of an extensive city, but ten were left to follow is moundul captivity the chariot of the conqueror ; but not even the seductive lays of Iloracc, nor ttic polished enmity of Isivy, can rob the heave Numantinea of the sympathy with which admiring posterlti approves their valour; end th? bean which beats with the love of its country, will perhaps bestow upon the chained captive who survived that siege • warmer tribute of ap plause, than upon the arrogant conqueror that added Numantious to the list of his titles. Again, with rhat emotions do we trace the sufferings of the people of Sagonfum ! loss of fathers, brothers, filer:els—the most severe inflictions of war—the dteadfal and appalling itecemity which drove them to devour their dead companions in arms to appease the ravings of hunger, could not subdue the inflexible spirit of vino', •isteli led the inhabitants to endure every esil rather than to desert theirallim, or to submit to 'en insulting enemy. These are examples parallel to, but not ex ceeding, the virtues displayed by the citizens of Derry—examples which have challenged the admiration of successive ayes, and have been held up as specimens of valour and patriotism by every pa rent to hie 'rising enuring. These are examples which do not exceed the exploits of out ancestors, and he needed not the au dacious tongue, or the envious pen, which would attempt to check the recollection of such glorious deeds; but Ireland especially, in Ire/Ind of all coontries In the world, the comme moration of suet Thane is more particularly eallrd for, to cheer the dismal barrenness of its history. Let us trace for a moment its dark and bloody progress. NI lien a foreign foe invaded, it shrunk submissive at thcrferat of an insignificant conqueror; con. tinged insurreetions—intestine wars—bloody massacres.—treacher eus treaties—and a systematic combination against the intro duction 01 the arts sod blessings of peace, are to be found in mournful succession throughout the lapse of centuries. The national character was obscured ; nay, the charaver of nature seemed erased by the curse of the times, and the history of Ire. land is a solecism in the history of nations, by not presenting, timing five or six centuries, one single fact to claim the admire. tion or even the respect of posterity ;—and where ran we look for I one bright passage—where ran we behold one green spots like the oasis in the desert, to cheer us in our gloomy pilgrimage? It' the history of this nation was to be written by an unprejudiced author., its most eliining passage would be found in the actions of the citizens of Derry—actions which would not only embellish the meet illustrious history, and confer honour upon the most heroic nation, hut which are not exceeded in ancient or modern times. It seeds also as if this favoured spot was destined to redeem the national character by the excess cf its own virtue, for we have the most authentic records in the Journals of the Irish House of Coin moni of the repeated acs of loyalty, magnanimity, and public' spirit, of this ancient and unconquered city. The records of the country tell its, that in the civil wars of PHI Derry wax the im. pregnable city, which bellied all the force of the rebel., and was the refuge then, as It proved. also iti after times, of all Ovum porters of the constituted authorities of the laud. In the revolu tion of lullfi, a crisis the most important that ever happened in any age or coutry, Derry stood forth the bulwark of the laws, religion, and liberty of this nation, and to Derry we owe in a great degree the enjoyment of those blessings In the present day. Who would then refuse to the descendants of such men the pious duty of corn• memorsting those glorious actions ? Who would attempt to check a spirit, hallowed by the faithful commemoratiorrof nearly one hundred and fifty years, and springing from an inflexible love of the laws, the religion, the liberty of their couhtry, in defiance of all the miseries which the cruelty of war, aggravated by the rage of bigotry and superititinn, could bring upon the country 1 But was he doing justice to this noble city In saying that its citizens were ready to give their lives ass satsifize for its liberties ?, Faint, indeed, would be the praise if were to measure their devotion by the mere loss of life—to estimate their sacrifice we must look at the manner in which death presented itself. In theopen field, anti in the equal millet, the soldier, matches to battle with his hopes elateti— ------- -" The neighing steed, and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drain. th' ear.piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pump, and circumstance of glorious war," awake, in almost every mind, a sudden and tumultuoue avenge. We are apt, under such circumstances, to forget the value of life, rather than to defy is loss ; we suspend attention to our safety, rather than reconcile ourselves to danger, and, in the thunder of the battle, we glory . in the enthusiasm of the mind; but, when death approaches with a slow and silent pace—when he creeps on at leisure, and is contemplated in all the terrors of a sure but pro crastinated destruction—the spirits shrink back upon the heart; fame, ambition, glory, all vanish before our eyes, and the frailty of oature is confessed its the struggle between the hero and the man--bat even such a struggle may have its aggravations. The stern patriot may overcome or despise the dangers of his own altuation—he may drown the voice of selfishness in the love of his country, but can he look with equal carelessness upon the fate which threatens the author of his being, the partner of his fortunes, or the pledges of his love ? What mopped Coriolanus in the pride of victory ? Hatred, revenge, and pride, stooped to the voice, of his mother, wife, and child ; and, softened by their com plaints, the stern soldier withdrew his conquering legions, and ex claimed— " You've won a happy victory to Rome, But for your son, believe it, oh, believe it, Moat dangerously you have with hint prevailed, If not most mortal to him." By what name, then, shall we distinguish the virtue of the citi zens of Derry ? The husband and the father sunk in the stern reso lution of the patriot, and the . voice of nature was silenced in the love of their liberties and theti. country. By what name shall we designate their courage, who did not rush into battle in the mo mentary ardour of sudden cot.test, in the pomp and glorious cir. commerce of war, but who awaited death in the dark and gloomy recesses of their own walls, amid all the horrors of pestilence and famine, and who, while sinking under the pangs of hunger, behelo also its baneful influence on those whose lives were dearer titan their own • who heard the helpless voice of their children crying in vain for fo'lki, ant who beheld the sinking eyes of their wives rind mothers gazing upon their defenders until those eyes were closed in death ? In such a trial to stand firm ; in such a contest to be vic torious, can any praise be too great—can any gratitude of their posterity be too lasting? Every man in this city must feel a parti. cipation in the hononrs of his ancestry, and every native of this spot must feel a holy inspiration in the birth-place of such heroism. But, though he had trespassed longer on their attention titan he wished, yet he could not close Ms observations without declaring the cause for which their ancestors risked their lives and fortunes. Great and noble as was the spirit which first prompted the A ppren. tice Boys of Derry to doe: their gates, the cause which impelled them was no less glorinuto—the necessity which drove them to this' decision was no less indispensable. He must claim not only their pardon for detaining them so long, but attention to a short re ekw of the circumstances of the times, from which the value of their ancestors' exploits will be best appreciated, and in which the strongest reasons will be found fer continuing to co:nmemorate this anniversary, and for teaching our children's children to cherish it as the guide of their hopes and conduct. It is an indisputable fact, acknowledged by all historians, that the ob. jeer of King James was to re-establish the Catholic religion both in England and Ireland, and with the Catholic religion, unlimited despotism. His attempts to effect this object in Eng land were happily frustrated In their very first birth, but hid en. 4eavours in Ireland were more successful, and with the aid of ready ministers and a willing people, he hetl very nearly obtained his purpose. Having confhled, his plans to an active agent, the Duke of Tyreonuel, no time was lost in carrying them into effect. The fiist object was to gain possession of the military force of the country ' • fur that, purpose he expelled every Protestant from the ranks of the army, and deprived every Protestant gentleman of hisl commission. Having moulded the military force according to his fancy, he next proceeded to remodel the civil establishments, and he accordingly displaced every Protestant who held an office in the administration of justice ' and filled up the places of Chancellor, Chief Judges, Puisne Ju dges, Privy Councillors, Sheriff, Magis trates, and even Constables, not only with Catholics, but with thole Catholics who had made themselves most remarkable in this time of jubilee for their rancour and persecution against the Pro testant'. Having thus maned an Ascendancy for the Catholics in all the ministerial offices of justice, by which tfie property and lives of the Protementiewere left at their mercy, he dext attacked the Corporation., and by depriviog them of their charters, and expel ling every -Protestant Mayor, Alderman, and Burgess., he in fact made them the slaves of his will, and the tools of his despotism. Public aft Sirs were brought to this state under the agency of Tyr. coned. and prepared for the final establishment of Popery, when King James animal in Ireland, and when the only place which stood out against his power, and remained an a bulwark for the Protemants, was the city of Derry. Immediately on his arrival he summoned a Parliament, and the proceedings of that body will thew what gratitude is eltie by the Protestants of Ireland to the ci tizens of Deny for inflexibly refusing to submit to King James. The Parliament,both Lords and Commune, consisted almost entirely of Catholics, and its first act was to repeal the Act of Settlement, by which the Protestant% in Ireland held their estates. The Act of A ttaindet wss then passed, by which 2,600 Protestants, mentioned by name, were mutinied of high 'realm, if they did not make their,l appearance before the llt of the following November ; and, in order to add insult to cruelty, King James's Chancellor kept the Act in his pocket for four ntonths after the time was passed, to prevent the unfortunate victims from availing themselves of this in- WWII lenity—an Act which exceeds in cruelty the famous pro- seriptioos of Rome during the worst days of tyranny. A law was ' silos passed to take away the personal property of any Protestant who was alssape- from the kingdom. Not satisfied with the de struction of eopertv, a design was formed to put an end to the oßrotestant priesthood, by putting the free-schools under Popish masters—by introducing Pupisli Fellnire into the University, and by nominating a Popish priest to be Provost of Trinity College. So far was the spirit of extirpation curled that even'three Protest ant Pellowsof the College were ihrloidden to meet together under Pain of death. James also seized the revenues of the vacant Bishoptial, gave over the tithes and tirst-fruits to Popish Bishops and Priests, and destroyed the jurisdiction of the Protestant church. To complete his plans he gave orders for seizing all the churches, and his bultlicts not only broke open all the monuments and grans, but took out the dead bodies, and left them exposed to the birds of the air. Proclamations were issued, forbidding Pro testants Resembling for divine worship even in private houses, and a popish Governor of Dublin leaned an order, forbidding more than five Protestants to assemble on any pretence, under pam of death. Till , . (fend...men, is an epitome of the history of the due, and of those causes which led to the gallant resistarce of the inhabitants of this city against tiranny, slavery, and superstition. If history furnialtes any example of a more noble struggle, or of greater devotion to the cause of libettt, let it be touted 016 evening, but he knew of none ; and while the love of liberty, the pewee of cou rage, the houout of victory in a good and glorious mle, continue to draw forth the admiration of' mankind, so lung will the citizens of Derry continue to receive front all loyal and well-afrocted hearts, the thanks of their countrymen and the gratitude of posterity. And now, gentlemen, for one parting word. Yon arc justly proud of the i sulierings, the sacrifices, and the victory of your forefathers—you can never prove ydur gratitude in a better manner than adhering inflexibly to the same principles—let not the tongue of flattery de ceive you into a stirranuer of your priheipka, and lot not the anger of Letitia deter you from the just and temperate expression of your, feelings. Be assured that you will find champions in the highest places, who will not be afraid to rc-echo your sentiments; be just to yourselves and to your posterity, in maintaining the principles established by your ancestors. and doubt not that the ramie spirit, the same zeal, the saute love for a free constitution, will animate the representatives of the country to join once more in your native rallying cry of surrender."

(Long cheering marked the effect of this communication to the meeting.) The CHAIRMAN then said that lie would propov to them the health of one of the ablest anti most zealous advocates of the Pro testant cause, their worthy fellow-citizen, then present, and near him, " The llee..lithn drahum." This toast was received with continued cheering fur sevefil minutes. 31r. GRAHAM returned thanks in a neat and appropriate speech. The health of Lady Hill was given by 11Ir.

GUILDHALL George Field, a drover, was yeStenlay charged with obtaining, by a fraudulent pretence, the sum of 381. 10s. Od., front Mr. Grit . - litho, the banker, in Smithfield. Mr. Henry Walker, of Enfield Highway, farmer, stated, that he had fur a considerable time employed the pri.oncr as a drover. and about the 2,ith of September last rent him to London with 12 sheep and ld lambs, with directions to deliver them to 31r. Bruit, the salesman, who would dispose of them in Smithfield market, and place the proceeds, as usual, in the hands of Mr. Griffiths, there to remain until he (the witness) should come to town. Upon calling subsequently at Mr. G.'s It was discovered that Bente person had taken out the money paid in by Brutt, and Mr. Griffiths being satisfied that he had given up the amount without due authority, paid witness the whole of the money. Air. Phillip Stills Williamson. clerk to Mr. Griffiths, deposed to receiving the 38/. 10s. lid. front [lout, on account of Mr. Walker, sad to paying the same to some person who came in and asked for Sir. Walker's bill and money, but of whose name lie had no mi. nute, and of whose person lie had no recollection. To bring the fact of having received the money home to the pri. toner, William Jones, a drover, was celled, who stated, that be tween one and two months ago he overtook the prisoner upon Forty Hill, near Enfield, who told him he had done a pretty job. lie asked him what was the mater ? to which the prisoner answered that helm] taken . 3ll/. of .Mr. Walker's, and he must go away for it. lie advised him to make up the money again, take it back to Mr. %Valker, and beg his pardoN; but the prisoner said he could not manage that, for it was all spent except 161. or 171., which ht had left in the hands of a woman. After some immaterial conver. Batton they parted, nod the next time witness saw Mr. Walker lie mentioned the circumstance to hint. ...... Mr. Walker, being recalled. said ht had never authorised the prisoner to receive any money for him ; and the prisoner, who de clined saying anything in his defence, was fully committed fur triaL M A RYLEBONE. VIOLENT CONDUCT 0F :WATCIISIAN.—YesIEffIay, John llf 'Adam, a watchman of St. Alarylebone, was brought up in custody, charged with brUially assaulting Mr. John Draper, of Shouldharmstreet, by heating hint on the head unit a bludgeon. Mr. John Draper stated that he was a cabiret.t.maker, and re sided in Shouldhatmstreet, Edgeware-mad. lie was returning home on Monday evening, and at the corner of Queen-street he heard the cry of " murder." lle instantly repaired to the spot, and perceived the prisoner pulling a female into a door-way in Queen street, and begged of him .for Hod's sake not to ill.use her. lie had no sooner uttered the entreaty than the prisoner turned round and with his bludgeon levelled him to the ground ; he became senseless, and cannot recollect yhat passed afterwards. William Hampton, res o ling in Seymour-place, said that on the evening stated by the last witness he heard the cry of " Mur der ! " and ran towards the spot ; on last witness entreating the prisoner not to ill.use the woman, he turned round, and, lifting his stick with both hands, felled him to.the ground. The prisoner continued his blows till the complainant was insensible. The ser geant of the night corning up, he was informed of the conduct of the prisoner, who ran away, but was pursued, and at last found on the steps of a public house in Brown-street. The prisoner said that the complainant and witness had inter rupted iiint in the discharge of his duty, and that he could prove sn by the evidence of the servant of the lady who resided at No. 12, Queen-street, Edgware-road. Mr. OntirElTH then directed an officer to accompany the watch man to bring this servant. The Constable of the night stated that the prisoner bore a very good character, and had been on his beat these eight years,• but he Thad certainly confessed In the watclihouse that he had struck the complainant. Mary .Yells lusted that she was servant to a lady named Mary Ann Maples (who we understand is the celebrated Mrs. Bertram, alias Mother Bang,) that she bad been to bring her mistress home, who was certainly much in liquor, but made no noise. On their way home she heard the cry of " watch! " but did not see the watchman until they arrived at Brown-street; the noise was made by a woman who passed them; witness heard the complainant cry out, " I,et us have a lark." She also heard him say, " Let the lady alone." She then went is -doom, and did not see any blow struck. The prisoner denied striking the complainant, and stated that he called him many opprobrious epithets. The head of the complainant exhibited a frightful appearance, and was tremendously cut. 111 r. GRIFFITH—You have heard what these mcn have sworn. You admitted so doing at the watchhouse, and have now the effron tery to deny so doing. I newer heard of more diAgrareful conduct in a watchman iv my life, and from the appearance of the plaintiff's head, you might have committed murder. The prisntier was then suspended fur two months, and also or dered to he indicted at the Sessions. AREAL . CHRISTMAS BOX.—Mrs. JOHNSON, Sole Proprietor of the AMERICAN §OOTBINO RCP, for Children cutting their' Teeth, 28, York-plate, City-road. At this critical season, when Children are teething, and suffer more pain than at any time of the year, very few escaping convulsions, it is earnestly recommended to every mother and nurse who hove young children not to he without the American Soothing Syrup in the nursery, as it gives immediate relief. Mrs. Johnson, reeling for the poor at a time like thin, when so many are out of employ, and wishing to relieve those little buffeters, has given tlfem a real Christmas Box, by extending her charity one hour larger: that is to say from 9 to II every Tuesday and Saturday mornings until next March (and then as usual from 9 till LU) while the days are SO very short, as hundreds who live at a great distance cannot get then. children to her house in time ; they must bring a letter trots a respectable housekeeper that they are real objects of charity. 1h as. Johnson hopes, at the same time, so great a charity will not be abused, as is is entirely out of her own private purse; and trams that persons who can nfford to purchase the Syrup will not injure the poor by obtaining what is intended for their reliei. This inestimable medicine to be had wholesale and retail as above, and of the principal venders in town and country, at 24. Si. per bottle. N.B.—None are genuine unless signed on the stamp with Mit. Johnson's own hand-writing. EXECUTION. Yesterday morning at the usual hour, NV. Henry Austin. aged 35. for stealing u letter confining a five-pound note from the Post. while employed there as a letter.sorter; John Edmunds, aged 24 years, for stealing a hcrse from his employer; and Richard William Jasper, aged 24 yean, for forging a bill of exchange, with intent to defraud Messrs. Fox and Suttaby, booksellers, Stationers. court, underwent the penalty of the law for their several offences. Austin had been employed in the Post-office from his childhood, and we believe his father also held a responsible situation there, and was much respected. This young man was greatly esteemed up to the time of committing the oll'ence ; he was married to so amiable woman, and has left four children. On this awful occasion he evinced same firmness as when he received sentence of death, but there was nothing like hardihood or indifference. Jasper's conduct had 'been very exemplary. and his mind was made up for the worst ; indeed, the fact of his pleading guilty to the indict. tnent sufficiently shows his state of mind with -respect to the ofience charged. After his trial the prosecutors strongly recom mended him to mug, on account of his previous good conduct and character. ./::411nunds hod stolen the same horse from his master twice; in the first instance he sell it for IN. after which he was re. covered ; and when again stolen it was rode some distance, and offered for sale for ; but the person to whom it was offered for sale, suspecting, from circumstances, that the horse bad been improperly obtained, detained the prisoner. In other respects he was not considered a vicious character; and it does not appear that he has been connected with any of the notorious gangs of horse-stealers which at this time infest the kingdom. A few minutes before eight o'clock Mr. Sheriff Crowder, Mr. sheriff Kelly, and Mr. Under Sheriff' Smith, arrived at Newgate, and proceeded to the Press-room. Jasper was first introduced by the Reverend Ordinary. He immediately, with a faltering step, approached the Sheritlis, and shook hands with them; he then conversed in an under tone, for a few seconds, with Mr. Sheriff' Kelly, and appeared quite resigned. The Reverend Mr. Revell, by his own desire, attended him, and while the preparation fur his approach to the scaffold was going on, he said, with great energy and liminess, "Jesus Christ suffered unjustly-1 suffer justly. In him is my only hope." The• Rev. Gentleman attended him during the remaining moments he was there. Edmunds was next introduced. He looked pale and horror. stricken. He expressed himself resigned to his fate, and after shaking hands with the Sheriffs, walked up to the officers who tie the culprits' hands and amis. The former being done, and while in the act of doing the latter, he said —" Oh, don't tie it so tight, it will hurt me." After this lie appeared to be mentally engaged in prayer. Mr. Raker attended hint while waiting for die preparation of his fellow-sufferer. Austin TM then introduced, attended by the Rev. Alt. colter, a clergyman of Rutland, who has for many years been intimate with the family. The Rey. Gentleman also attended at his trial to speak to his character. Austin approached the Sheriff's with a firm step, and immediately took them both by the hand, and also Mr. Wontrirr, to whom he appeared to cypress a sense of great grad tude. lie raid none:Wog to Mr. Sheriff Krlly, which was in. indeed he appeared tnhave a wish that his communications should not be heard by any bat those to whom they were imme diately made. He afterwards expressed a hope that he could put his trust in the matey of Jesus Christ. While undergoing the last ordeal within the prison, lie also intimated to the Rev. Mr. Collier that the rope that tied his arms hurt him, but this expression arose rather front the question being asked than from the impulse art' his own feelings. Seeing some persons near him, he appeared to wish to avoid their observation. The sad preparations being finished, all three for a few moments spoke to their spiritual attendants, when the nielsticholy procession moved on, the prisoners in the order stated. In passing through the passages they shook hands fervently (particularly Austin) with all the officers of the prison, and as they approached the lobby at the toot of the drop, audibly repeated that part of the bmial service which was read by the Ordinary. Jasper first ascended ; during this time the other two shook hands with each other, and part of a chapter was read. Jasper seemed quite resigned, but ascended the steps to the scaffold with an extremely feeble step. Austin was now only leg, and during the few remaining Moments said, which were Ira last words, " I desire to put my trust jn Jesus (theist." He ascended to the fatal tree, and all being ready, at a quarterptud eight o'clock, the drop fell, and finished their earthly career. They appeared to expire without a struggle. There was an uthuntolly small number of spectators.
