which the prisoners bad made ; and if the Jury believed the wit.
nesses, there was but one course to pursue.
The Jury immediately found the prisoners Guilty. The verdict
produced a sensation of pleasure and satisfaction in the Court.
111 r. Baron GRAHAM, yn a most impressive manner, commented
upon the nefarious conduct of tLe prisoners. He should not torture
litautelf with endeavouring to find out language sufficiently strong
to express his indignation at the horrible atrocity of the prisoners.
Their offence demanded in a Court of Justice the severest penalty
' which the law allowed, and lie should he guilty of a dereliction of
his duty if he did not carry the law to its utmost extent. Never was
a case so satisfactorily made out ; and his Lordship must say, that
the Rev. prosecutor deserved the thanks of the country for the firm.
ness and fortitude with which he had brought the case before a
Court of Justice. The Learned Judge concluded by sentencing the
prisoners to be transported for the term of their natural lives.
The Assizs ended this afternoon at one o'clock.

ESCAPE PROM TIIE KING'S BENCH PXISON.—A gen-
tleman of the name of George Horatio Scott was a &tents within
the walls of " Abbott's Priory" for a short period, but having
been before the (thief Justice and given bail to the action, was re-
fused his discharge from an informality. When the Judge's order
was received at the office, the Marshal said it watt irregular, the
word " Gentleman" being omitted • and of course not agreeing
with the precipe, he refused to obey it by discharging him Irvin
custody. Mrs. Scott and many friends were in the daily habit of
visiting him, and h's associates were of the first class in Bunco
Regis. On Sunday (the 20th instant) he accompanied Mrs. S.
to a dinner party at a friend's room in the State House, and while
Mrs. Scott was preparing tea he retired to his own apartment, dis-
guised himself as a female, and taking advantage of the confusion
from the great of ux of visitors late on a Sunday evening, contrived
to elude the vigilance of the turnkeys, pulsed with the crowd
through the lobbies, and eventually bolted without the gates of the
prison. IVhen the last bell rang "to warn all strangers out,"
and Scott, preparing to retire, went to his dormitory for her
pelisse, he was wins est invents:, but his upper clothes were found,
which fully convinced them of his having taken French kart.
Although every inquiry has been made during the past week by
the Marshal's scouts, his actual retreat has not yet been discovered.
The sum for which he was confined was of considerable amount ;
yet as he had previously to his absconding given bail, and an
officio/ order for his discharge had been received, it is presumed
the matter will rest as it is _ _

ADVERTISLMENT.—TR IN CANT LYRA.--Tbe follow-
ing Lines appeared in the Liverpool Mercury, addressed to the
interesting Infant Lyra, whose singular talents have excited so
much wonder in the Musical World, and now exhibiting daily at
two o'clock, and at half.paat three o'clock, at No. UI,
Art thou indeed of earth; or, say, from hesv'n,
To weary mortals for a season given ?
Say, but thou left thy starry mansion bright,
Elysium blessed of supreme delight,
To lure, with seraph form and winching lay,
And bear to far-off real•us the soul away ?
Art thou indeed of earth,ithat sweep'st the lyre
With Inspiration's glowing band of fire ?
Or aerial spirit from the bowers of bliss,
To tell of distant,realins of blessedness?
Human thy sang, insure thou well mightst seem
Some fairy genii of Arcadian dream,
So bright the sparkle of thy beaming eye,
Whispering of Heaven in all its purity !
So fair the beauties of thy cherub face,
Alatehlais in infant loveliness and grace :
Human thy song, yet ne'er, oh ! ne'er did Art
Weave spell like thine around the captive heart !
Heaven.taught, sweet Lyra!—Genius, from her throne,
Exulting, calls thee hers, and hers alone;
And hers thou art ; she breathes in every sigh,
Liv:3l in the lustre of thy speaking eye,
Prompts the soft warbling% of thy every tone,
And sheds a halo rotrid thee all her own !
Go—Heaven.instructed—charm the listening throng
With all thy sweet varieties of song,
And with a lay befitting regal sphere,
Go, win, in prtneely halls, the royal ear !
And when thy dazzling race on earth is run,
And mortal immortality put on,
When the dark shae.-ws on the mountains spread
Shall call thee to thy last and quiet bed,
Resume In brighter wends thy sounding lyre,
Theeweetest herniae of-th• angelic choir !

Science and Art, when aiding nature, claim
Our gratitude and prior estimation ;
Rowland, of Ilatton.garden, thence in fame
Stands high, and meritorious approbation.
The ladies more particlarly his name
Now eulogise, since all of fashion's station,
Who enter would of beauty's shrine the high-door
Are promptly introduced by his Kalydor !
Last Sunday, in the Park, though Peter Frost
Appear'd. yet dauntlessly our fair pedestrians,
Like constellations, crowding, brought an host
Around them—aunbulators and equestrians.
The lily hue in roseate bloom was lust;
"Triumph of country !" said some titled pestrians ;
"Triumph of science !" cried each fair confider
In Rowland, "emanating from Kalydor."
Pride of Ispahan, improv'd by Rowland more
To suit the British than the Persian India ;
Cosmetic that in attributes a store
Of known infallibility array's! is.
Friend of the female race, thy useful lore,
Rowland, in aid of beauty that pourtray'd is,
Shall live, and fame, transcendent worth's provider,
Thy name perpetuate with renown'd Kalydor.
