REMOVAL OF Mr.. MrTcHEL-The Dublin
Freeman contains the following account of the
departure of Mr.. Mitchell:
Precisely as the prison clock struck four, on
Saturday afternoon, the convent van drew up
at the front entrance of Newgate, and was i'm
mediately surrounded by two squadrons of dra-
goons, under the command of Col Maunsell
and Col. Gordon. In few minutes AN official,
bearing the warrant for Mr.. MitchePs removal,
entered the prison and delivered the same to
the high Sheriff. The mounted police and dra-
goons, with drawn sabres, formed four deep
around the van. The door way having been
opened. Inspector Selwood gave the word at
the prison gate, "ah is ready" One of the
turkeys then came forth with a bundle of
clothes, which were understood to be the con-
vict dress, and threw it into the van. Pre-
cisely at eight minutes past four, the gates were
opened, and Mr.. Mitchell came forth witha firm
step and firm demeanor. He wore brown
| frock coat, light waistcoat, and dark trowsers,
and had light glazed cap upon his head, the
hair appearing to be closely cut. His hand
and right leg were heavily manacled, and fast
ened to each other by ponderous iron chain
He cast one quiet, dignified glance about, and
recognizing a friend who called out s'Mitchel"
bowed and shook hands with him. He was
then assisted into the van, accompanied by
four or five inspectors of police. The door
was Immediately banged to, and the cortege
moved forward at double quick trot up Boil
ton street, and thence by the Circular road TO
the North Wall, where the Sheerwater Govern
ment steamer was lying in readiness.
The cautions taken to prevent any attempt
at rescue on the way to the place of embarca-
lion Were effectual There was, however,
some rioting at Seville place, on the North
Strand, where the police were assaied BY
mob, the chief leaders of which were women.
