few evenings ago, man, dressed and pain
ted like Mr.. Sinclair, of Cov~nt Garden Thea
tire. in the character Of the Dark Warrior, in the
new opera Of Natire LuRd, went into tavern IN
the neighbourhood of the theatre, and in hurry
called for supper and wine, stating that he was
obliged to return and finish his part in short
time. lie supped and drank the wine with great
speed, and in such quantities as induced the wal
ter to think that he would not sing the remain
ing songs of the opera in the accustomed style.
" My time is come, said he, suddenly rising,
left all my money in my clothes in my dressing
room, but the waiter can come over by and bye,

upon the subject between the landlord and the

your gold seals with me until you can get the

all responsibility. The irishman, to the surprise
OF lie landlord, never returned for his seal, and
the landlord told the waiter to take it to the pawn
brokers, and get upon it as much money as would
pay for the supper and wine, but no more. The
waiter DELAYED a long time and his master, upon
looking after him found him in the custody of an

AFFECTING INCIDENT.

An incident of an affecting and impressive ma.
ture lately occurred al the Old Bailey, which too
s,rikingy illustrates the moral untilness OF the
fictious and formaties of British Law. man
charged on five Indictment with utterng fors-
ed notes, plead guilty. The recorder express
ed a hope that he would not persist IN this
plea, as it he did, sentenance of death must be
pissed upon him and advised him to pursue q
different course. The prisoner replied, am
aware Of my awful eternity, therefore tear 10
utter falsshood. II mercy cannot be ex'enled
here, hope to receive it from my creator" The
recorder proposed that the trial should stand TOR
the next day, in order that the prisoner might
have time TO consider, but he firmly expressed
his Instrumentation of persistng III the plea OF
guilty. His life will probably pay the penalty OF
his adhereance to truth. A lie is the price at
which culprt is admitted to all the chicaneries
of law, scruple of conscience is fatal but let
him utter talsehood, and the suatle'ies OF tile
law offer Thousand chances to escape There
is indeed, something shockingly anomalous IN
these proceedings--it makes part OF the Judges
duty, whose office is to investigate truth, to ex-
hort the accused to tell lie if, as in the case
before u.s. he shudters at the thought of adding a
fasehood to his near account Of sin; if, on the
bank of eternity, he spurns the taseness OF ie,
