attended the Meeting. Whilst these Institutions were left
to the government of those who patronised them, it was
a gratifying circumstance 'that Men so eminent for' their
talents and virtues as. their Chairman was, were found to
attend and identify themselves, with such Meetings-,-this
was alike honourable to the present Chairman and the
Institution.

John-Marrytt, Matthew Harrison, and Jahn Wilkin-
son, were, pursuant to their sentences at the.laSt York-

Castle. , • • "
Marrott was a handsome
,yeung man, only 26 years of
age, but of most abandoned habits. He belonged -to au
organized gang, who had stolen an immense number of
horses in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire., Ai he walked to
the platform he prayed aloud; and, in crossing the yard,
called out to several persons, " Oh take warning, by my
fate." After the Ordinary had prayed on the drop with
them, he (karroit) asked to hive five minutes time longer
allowed for prayer, which was granted. lie offered up a
most fervent and pathetic pt'ayer for himself and his fellow
malefactorSl and said he hoped their untimely end, brought
on by bad company; ivotild prove a warning to all.
Harrison, who had previously been transported, prayed
earnestly also. The horse which he stole, and for 'which
he suffered, he disposed of fOr Is. 6d. He has left a wife
and family.
Wilkinson, whose real name was Coates,
,up to yeSter-
day, entertained the most sanguine hopes of a 'reprieve, and
frequently complained of the hardness of his sentence:
On being told that the Judge Who tried him refused to in-
terfere in leis behalf, he used the most horriCirhpreca-
cations. He also has left a wife and four children, the

We believe that the fact to which lie adverted in the
course of his speech, of Milton's having kept a school
bn (the w(heri the theatre of the Institution

We can add a fact which is curious in the history of
genius. The, poet sold the Copyright of his immortal
production, `ParadiSe Lost," to one SyMnionds a book-
seller, who pulilished It in Little Britain, the immediate
neighbourhood. The sum for which it Was sold' was 101.,
paid in two instalmeuht. Milton's widow received 1;3/.
more from the bookseller 'aftet her husband's death. It is a
curious circumstance, that the autograph 'of the agreement
