being set at liberty by the government
and permitted to reside in the country
amongt his friends, in consequence Of his
mental affliction. He was accompanied by
brother, Mr.. Richard Burke, Coachford.
The colonel looks better than the accounts
given of his health would lead ono to ex-
pect; but he is not the strong, spirited
young fellow of the bright intellect that he
was a few years ago, when his appearance
and demeanor elicited the praise of the
judge who condemned him to imprison-
ment. His constitution has been very
much shaken, and the intellect is affected,
but neither irretrievably SO; and 1t ls
hoped that, in short time, both MIND ana
body will be restored to their former state
of health. Col. Burke was considered to
be the most remarkable man amongst the
political prisoners. His life, which was
sketched at the time of his trial by one ap-
parently on very intimate terms with him,
forms a romance in itself. Though Young
man he has travelled to the most distant
countries; ard there is scarcely cline I'M
not spent unprofitably, for he acquired
knowledge of several languages, and could
speak as fuently in the Spanish, French,
and Italian az in the Englieh language.
Besides being q linguist, he Is painter
and poet; and the productions Of his
those who would withhold praise where
praise is not duo. Mr.. Burke. left last
night for Coachford, where he will remain
for some time. We sincerely hope that che
Original vigor OF his u,ind and of his oOdy
may be restored to him.-COrk Herald.
