THE CONVICT, ES HIER HIBNER.

This wretched female, who will this (lay pay the
Penalty of life for a crime of no ordinary magnitude,
Still preserves that coolness and unconsciousness of
her approaching fate, which so much surprised the
spectators when the Jury pronounced her guilty.
On Saturday night, she threw herself, at an early
hour, upon her pallet, and, almost immediately, fell
Pto a slumber as tranquil and composed as if the
' uur of dissolution was uncertain, and she had
bought to reproach herself with, of her deeds in
this life.
1, Though, since her removal from the dock, the
.."-ev. Ordinary has been most zealous in his endea-
vours to arouse religious feelings in her bosom, and
to render her sensible of the deep-dyed atrocity of
;Vhich she had been pronounced the perpettatrix, all
1, efforts have proved useless, and his exhortations
nave been listened to with the most obdurate indif-
ference. He advised her to read the Bible, and to
look for consolation in the promises held out to the
repentant sinner.
She replied, that she had read the Bible, and
was so conversant with its contents, that she needed
not the assistance of an interpreter to explain its
meaning.
Though insensible to all spiritual affairs, a spark
°f maternal feeling seems to have lingered in her
breast, for early on Saturday she expressed a wish
to have an interview with her (laughter. In com-
Pliauce with her desire, a communication was made
to the daughter, but she gave a positive refusal to
her request. This is the only circumstance that
'tad,. up to a late hour on Saturday night, the
slightest apparent effect on her feelings ; and when
it was told to her, she moodily observed, " It don't
signify.,l
Doctor Cotton, after repeatedly calling upon her
°III Saturday evening, but to very little purpose,
again visited her yesterday morning, when he found
her equally cool and collected, and as averse front
preparing herself for the dread account she was
'shortly to deliver up, as she was even prior to her
trial. 'Every argument that the Rev. Gentleman
could make use of proving abortive, he, as a last re-
sonrce, thinking that the interview with her (laughter,
Which the latter had refused, might effect some com-
Punctious feelings, and lead to that disposition
,of mind which a person on the brink of eternity
should possess, sent for her to a further part of
the prison, where she is still confined, waiting, to-
gether with the woman Robinson, to await their trial
" an indictment for assaulting the children, and pre-
vailed upon her to visit her wretchedparent. The
meeting,, which took place about two o'clock,was cold
-11`4d 'ndifferent, and appeared to be that rather of per-
andsg than the mo di
rtal aeu between a pa-
tent child—the one whose moments are num-
f ered, and the other the participator in the crime
r°4l the extreme penalties of which humanity has
at present saved her. On entering the cell they
.shook hands, and, after this mark of recognition,
.they commenced a series of the most abusive vitu-
Perations against the witnesses who appeared as
Prosecutors the parties engaged in their defence, and
the several parish officers who were bound to appear
for the prosecution. In the course of their maledic-
tions, the mother said, " Well, all I am sorry for is,
'that I did not rush from the dock, and tear the
•Wretches to pieces." The visit lasted about half an
hour, and on her daughter leaving her site wept most
'hitterly.-7-Aforning- Paper.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

coni,:-_ExcliA N(4E.

There was a good supply of Foreign Wheat last week, and a
moderate quantity cf English Corn. The arrival of Floor was
fair. This morning the simples of Grain fresh at market are
not considerable. Superfine samples of English Wheat, and the
best foreign, have met buyers at the terms of this day se'nnight,
but other sorts are dull, and Is. to 2.. per quarter cheaper. The
Barley trade remains heavy, and hardly maintains last quota-
tions. Beans that are good have sold readily at no alteration in
value. Pease of both kinds are unvaried. Good sweet parcels
of Oats obtain rather more money than of late, light samples are
very difficult to quit. There is a fair trade for the best Flour at
our quotations. Some Wheat arrived here last week from the
Cape of Good Hope and the East Indies.
