of society can commit. if we look at tha con-
sequences to which your crime naturally leads,
no man can contemplate, without reason to thank
God, that your offence was stopped short in its
progress-, If armed insurrection ,ari"Ses lit the
country, its. intemperate consequences no man
can foresee. How many lives may be lost ,how.
many .women may be made ,widows—how -many
children may be made orphans, deprived. of the
protection and example of their parents, -and
thus bereft perhaps of the .means Lich' might
make them useful .here, and qualify them for
happiness hereafter ! What have been the' causes
which have drawn you—probably I may sky,
deluded you—into the commission of this. crime,
I cannot state ; but this. I may say, that if from
seditious or blasphemous publications you, have
imbibed. the principles which have driven
you on to the conduct 'for which
_you now,
stand at that bar, for how much have

they to• answer who were the instruments•
of putting such publications into your hands?
We. cannot go through the world without seeing
that, to a very considerable extent, sedition and
blasphemy go. hand in hand.; and it is worldly
wisdom for- their promoters to connect them to.,
gether, because the._ best security for the peacea-
bia demeanour of men is the fear of God ; and
the most effectual way to train men up to .sedi-
tion is to make theme forget their Maker, and so
to. obliterate. all §ense of duty. If in the:prime
and vigour amestrerigth of life, you have• fbr
a moment been, induced to forget Him" ,from
whom life and 'health, and all things, proceed,
I hope the delusion, will be-of short duration. I

trust your situation will prove, as it ought, a warn-.
ing, to deter others ,from practices against the •
Government of the country, and agahist thlipes
and security of their fellow-isubjects; -:,-YoitMay at
times have felt'distress ; and have,perliaps; been
drawn into the commission of your -triine by. the "
distresses of the times. 'lt is' the lot of human
nature at times to meet distresses of different de-
scriptions. It may, perhaps, be intended by the
hand of Providence, as a wise means to make
man look up to Him who is the fountain of hap-
piness, the fountain of peace, and the giver of all.
things which man. enjoys, that •ditierent men
should, from time to time, meet with priVations,
through the wisdom of Him without whose 'con-
sent no sparrow falleth to the ground. It will be
wise in. you, and all who hear me, to look up to
Him, to be thankful for all blessings, and to be
resigned under all privations. It is now my'
painful duty to pronounce upon you the sentence
of the law, which is a most awful one, and calcti-'
lated to impress an abhorrence of the crime to
which it is annexed. I have already expressed')
and now repeat, the gratification it gives•me to
know that your sentence will in no part of it be
carried into execution ; but that a commutation. •
will be made, upon a due consideration of your
respedtive cases, in that quarter where it can •
•alone be made, for it does not rest with
The Learned Judge then pronounced upon the
several prisoners the awful sentence of death, and
concluded by saying, " and, whenever death-
shall come upon you, may God Almighty, whose
mercy is infinite, extend to you that mercy which.
your situation may require."
The prisoners appeared much impressed with
.a
sense of their situation, and seemed grateful for
• the mercy they were promised. .

INSOLVENT 'DEBTORS' COURT, SS PT:

The. Court met this morning at ten o'clock, to
hear motions ; the following was the only one`of
public interest:—
IN THE MATTER OF SIR MATTHEW: BLOXAM, KNT.
Mr. BAssETT moved for leave to the insolvent
to amend his schedule, by inserting the dupli-
cates. of a quantity of property :which had been
pledged, and also of the amount of saltiry which .
had been paid to him up to the time of his being
sent to prison. The omission of 'these articles in ;•
'his-schedule was solely occasioned by an overLl
sight, and it was to rectify that mistake that the •
present motion was submitted to the Court. An
affidavit was produced, which stated, that the
omission bad not been discovered till after the •
•
schedule was filed.
The Court granted the moticu, and afterward s'
ad j ourned.—(Morning Post.)

We have great pleasure in stating a circum-
stance strongly and decidedly illustrative of the -
good "sense and good feeling of Irishmen, on the
great subject now engaging the• public attention.
