MB. MITCHEL IN PRISON.

The information on which Mr. Mitchel has been com-
mitted to prison, charges him with publishing in the
United Irishman of the 6th and 13th instant certain arti-
cles tending " to compass and deprive our most gracious
lady the Queen from the style, honour, and royal name of
the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, and to levy
war against her Majesty within the said United Kingdom,
n order by force and constraint to compel her Majesty to
change her measures and counsels."
On Mr. Mitchel's arriving at Newgate he was handed
over to the gaoler. He was then brought into a room on
the upper story of the prison, with a single window look-
ing into Green-street. It contained no bed or bedstead.
and he was infOrmed that such was the apartment as-
signed to him, and that he might have straw to sleep on.
that they had nothing else. Indignantly refusing this
" kind accommodation," and resolved to spend the night
walking about his cell, hewas told that any further clnveni-
ence he might require he would be permitted to have, if
brought to him. He sent to his own house for a hair
mattrass, which was at once brought, and having settled
it on two or three forms, he passed the night there. On
Sunday morning, at an early hour, Mr. -Mitchel's lady
came to the prison and was permitted to see him. When
it became known through the city that Mr. Mitchel was
an inmate of Newgate, numbers of his personal friends,
and many whose political doctrines did not exactly coin-
cide with his, visited him. He was allowed to receive his
friends and legal advisers in the prison yard, a narrow
flagged square.
