He sank under contagious disorder, very pre-

fever.
Lord George Gordon remaining in his prison in
the Tower until Monday, the fifth Of February in
the following year, that day soleInnly tried
at Westminster for High Treason. OF this crime
lie was after patient investigation, declared Not
Guilty; upon the ground tina, there was proof
of his having called the multitude together with
any traitorous OF unlawful intentions. Yet so
many people were there still, TO whom those riots
taught no lesson Of reproof or moderation, that u
public subscription was set on foot IN Scotland to
defrsy the cost Of his defence.
For several years afterwards he remained, at
the strong interces.ion Of his friends, compara7

to1k occasion display his zeal for the Protestant
faith, in some extravagant proceeding. which was

that he was formally communicated by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, for refusing to appear

for that purpose. In the year 1893 he was stimu-
lated by some new insanity to write and publish
mn injurious pamphlet rejecting or the Queen 81
France in very violent terms. Beiag indicted for
the li1cl, and CATER various strange demon9tra-
tions in colrt) found guilty, he fled into Holland
in place % appearing TO receive sentence: from
whence, as the quiet burgomagter OF Amsterdam
had no relish for his company he was sent home
again with all speed. Arriving in the month of
July at Harwich, and going thence to Birmingham,
lie made, in the latter place, in August, public
profession of the Jewish religion; and figured
there as Jew until he was arrested, and brought
back to London to reccive the sentence he had
eyaded. BY virtue of this sentence he was, in the
month of December, east into Ncwgate for FIVE
large fine and TO furnish heavy securities for his
future good behavior.
After addressing, III the midsummer of the fol-
lowing year, an appeal to the comrisseration Of
the National Assembly of France, which the Eng
lish minister refused 10 sanction, he composed
himself to undergo his full term Of punishment;
and suffering his beard to grow nearly to his waist
and conforming in all respects to the ceremonies OF
his new religion, he applied himself to the study of
history and occasionally to the art Of painting in
which, in his younger days, he had shown some
skill. Deserted by his former friends, and treated
in all respects like tho worst criminal in the jail
he fingered on, quite cheerful and resigned, until
the first Of November, 1893, when he died in his
CELL being then only threc-and-forty years OF age
Many men with fewer symPathes for the dis
,rcs.cd and needy with less abilities and harder
hearts, have made shining figure and left u bril-
liant fame He had his mourners. The prisoners
bemoaned his loss, and missed him; for though
his means were not large, his charity great
and in bestowing aims among them, he considered
the necessities Of all alike, and knew no distinction
of sect or creed. There are wise men in the high
ways of the weird who may learn something. even
from this poor crazy L ord who died in Newgatc.
To the last, he was truly served by bluff John
Grucby He was at his side before nc had been
four-and.twenty hours In the Tower, and he never
left him until he died. He had one other constant
attendant in the person of a beautiful Jewish girl,
who attached herself to him from feelings half re-
lgious half romantic, but whose virtues and dis
interested character appear to have been beyond
the censure even Of the most censoriovs.
Gashford deserted him, of course. He subsisted
for u time upon his traffic in his masters secrets
and, this trade failing when the stock was quite
exhausted, procured an appointment in the homo
rable corps of spies and eavesdroppers employed
By the government. As Of these wretched
underlings, he did this drudgery, sometimes abroad,
sometimes at home and long endured the various
mselies of such station. Ten dozcS years
ago-not msre-a meagre, old man, diseased
and miserably poor was found dead in his bed al
mn obscure inn in the Borough, where he was quite
unknown. He had taken poison. There was no
Slue to his name but it discovered, from GER
tain entries in a pocket-boek he carried, that he
had been secretary to Lord George Gordon in the
time of the famous riots.
Many months after the re-establishment of peace
and order; and even when il had ceased te be the
town talk, that every military officer, kept nj free
quarters by the city during the late alarms, had
cost for his board and lodging four pounds tour per
day, asd every private soldier Two and two-Pence

Mr.. Simon Tappertit being removed from hos.
pital prison, and thence to his place of trial, was
discharged by proclamation two wooden legs.
Shorn of his sra eful limbs and brought down
from his high es,st. circumstances Of utter des-
tituton, and the deepest misery, he made shift TO
stump back TO his old master, and beg for some rt-
lief. By the locksmi,hs advice and aid he
established in business as shoe-black, and opened
shop Ander an archway near the Horse Guards.
This being central quarter, he quiekly made
very large connections and on evec days,
