INTERESTING CIRCUMSTANCE.

Last week, a very modest and interesting girl, about sixteen
yews at age, presented herself at the Home Department Office,
with a petition, which she said she wished to present to the King ;
and being informed that it must be presented through Mr. Peel to
MI Majesty, she said she would call again. It appears that her
mewls Harrison, and she is the daughter of a respectable trades.
man at Birmingham ; that her brother, a boy about her own age,
had been seduced by two older boys, to join them in stealing sonic
gold belonging to a Mr. Price, of that town, and Harrison and
one of his companions were convicted of the offence, at the last
Werwick Amin% No distinction was made between the old of-
fender and Harrison, who had not before committed a theft, end
they were both sentenced to transportation for life. When Miss
Haerisou heard of the dumdum of her brother, and that her MO-
thin tire tree despaired of, in consequence of her excedive grief
oceeelened by her child being for ever separated from her, the
poor girl packed up a few articles of apparel, and, without advis-
ing with her friends, started by the coach from Birmingham to
London, to present • petition to the King in his favour. When
she learned that the petition could only be presented through Mr.
Peel, she called again at the Home Office, and inclosed, with the
petition addressed to his Makety, the following letter, addressed to
Mr. Peel:—
" London, Ma 23,
" Right Honourable Sir,—A very humble individuy al, alO young
female, only sixteen years of age, has travelled from Birmingham
to London, to have the satisfaction of personally laying before you
a petition its favour of her brother. This is her first tourney; she
I. perfectly inexperienced; and she has no opportunity of inquir-
ing the meetaproper mode of applying for so great • favour; but
the tenets the ummence of her character, which is unimpeachable,
as well as the delicacy of her sex, and the distressing nature of her
object—to obtain merry for her brother—will be allowed by a gen-
t amn of well-known benevolence to outweigh any mope/tent
violation of the rules of etiquette, and will show how much the
chime of humanity are regarded by a great Minister bdore those
doetwoomy. My reason, Right Honourable Sir, for taking dds
long jeerney, and for soliciting this audience, is, that my dear pa-
roma and wayedf may have the solace of knowing that the cue of
my wiefortutesto brother was really known to, sad duly considered
to by - hisnaller • - diet my
