much-desired conveniences, so essential to the well
working of the new postage scheme will soon be ready.
A proof of the design which has been adopted for thew
is now bef-ire us, and it is equally elegant and piatnrt:
esque. In the witiclle, at the top of the cover, is
taoia with her lion reposing at her feet, sending forth
heralds to all quarters of the world. She is irnPar
tiu
on the one hand order, strength, and civilization to
Asia, represented appropriate emblems on one of the
upper corners ; and on the other, peace, freedom, and
prosperity to Africa and Ames ice, equally represented
on the other. Below' in each corner. are groups of her
children reading tidings of their friends antirelations, -0
illust rate, we presume, home correspondence,as the figures
above are emblematical of communication with foreign
lands. The whole of the figures form a border round three
sides of the cover, much deeper at the top than at the
sides, leaving the lower part for the direction. Tbe f
design is executed in bold etching after the monner,..°
Retsch's celebrated outlines, and is at once graPwc'
instructive, and pleasin;. It will rejoice the public to
sec the arts thus usefully employed to embellish the
common labours of life, and good taste at length begin'
fling to banish grim lions and unicorns from public do:
cuments which, however intelligible at the Herald s
College, are for the multitude without a meaning. REMOVAL TO THE PENITENTIARY, MILLBANK, °r
M ESSItS. VINCENT, EDWARDS, AND SHELLARDP''
( FR6%I A CORRESPONDENT.)--Mr, Henry Vincent,
who has just teidergone at Monmouth a second trial for
uttering seditious words, left Monmouth in custody nf
the gaoler, on Wednesday morning at six o'clock, and
arrived at Millbank Penitentiary at ten o'clock the some
night. The sentence passed upon him by Baron
Gurney, it will recollected, was that he should be
imprisoned for twelve months from the day of his COe"
viction (March 26). He will here be subjected to the
rigours of the silent system. Messrs. Edwards and
Shellard, who were sentenced respectively, the fer-
mer to eighteen, and the latter to fottrtel
months, were brought up with Vincent, and vr:
suffer the same treatment. --[We trust that the'.
latter part of this statement cannot bo true.. .1.:
has never been customary to inflict the punisbn4ea'
ordained f"r felons and rascals on those who are, 39
often led by a generous spirit as an impropermotive,
into the commission of political offences. •In Bf OLIr4
mouth gaol Mr. Vincent cotild communicate pith ".1
friends—in the Penitentiary he will be as if he were 113
his grave. We deplore more than we can expreo eel
and every act of the Government, or of the Magistrates;
which tends to exasperate the present disposition•ofthe
people, which must, if it be so continually provoked'
break forth at length in the commission of violonen,
equally destructive to all classes.—En. SUN.]
