The following is the substance of the Recoitoen's address,
which we were yesterday obliged to postpone, on George add
Fawcett toeing called up for judgment :
With respect to George, he said, the recommendation of the
Jury should have its due weight; it appeared that he had re.
ceived a religious educati-m, and expressed great contrition
for what he had done, to which he had been instigated by e
parcel of brutes about him. lie could not, however, expect to
get off without some punishment, and therefore the Court sea.

LADY TIPSTER STANllOPC.—Captains Irhv and Mangles,
in their recent publication, make the following mestia,
of this 'eccentric Lstry:—" As we were entrusted with
letter from Mr. Sa!t. a packet of English letters from Aeff,
and abn from Jan, we deemed it one duty to wait on
her, and therefore set out for her usual residence, an alit
deserted convent in the mountain, abont one hour and a
half distance from Sti(l,l, 1:311C.1 Mar F.titx Alas; but her
Ladyship was removed on account of the hest, to a snort

therefore forwarded the letters, tt,e, to4etber with a not•
requesting her Ladyship's p•rntission to wait on her. The
folio-ring morning we received a le.ter, saying that As

herself. She is always dressed in the Turkish costume
as a man ; her generosity we beard spoken of in all di-
rections."
