rio CROWD EXPECTED AT THE wHIPPIko
Now that sentence has been passed upon the
Bank Burglars their friends outside arc making
strenuous effort to have the whipping and pillo-
rying Of the prisoners remitted One or more OF
PhiladelphiA's notorious characters are almost
constantly at Now Castle, watching the develop
ment of Affairs, and the special object OF their
presence has manifested itself in various ways.
While the trial wss in progress. and we can
violate no principal of propriety in stating the
matter now that the trial is ended. special sp-
peals were made to the jurors during
the recesseh OF the Court IN behalf OF
the prisoners by their friends, and in
one instance at least was accompanied by a
tempting brbe Of $500 This we have from a
reliable source That the bribe was rel jected is
shown by the verdict in the case and We note
with PRIDE the fact that the integrity OF the jury
was maintained against these Rilded temptA-

Aud, last night, a delegation went down the
Delaware II Il. to intercede with the Governor
in behalf Of the prisoners to obtain the rsmis-
sion of the corporal punishu ent which the
Court had imposed, but the errAud was fruit
less one. The delegation was unable to find
the Governor, who was in Philadephia, we be-
lieve and they returned, this morning, to seek
him elsewhere or course the Governor will
not interfere.
Yesterday afternoon. when the prisoners were
brought into Court for sentence, II, Lister
Smith. a well-known Philadelphia character,
pushed himself forward in the way of the pro-
cession as it marched into the Court room, and
seemed determined to speak to the prisoners as
they passed, when the Sheriff coaTed him and
violently thrust him aside. 1t ID unnecessary to
say that Listers opinion Of Delaware was great
ly lessened by this act.
The prisoners maintain defiant tone, and
manifest but little interest in the events OF to-
morrow. The general impression is that they
will 20 to the post fully nerved for the ordeal
and that none Of them will exhibit the least SHOW
of pain. LAwler remarked to a friend Of ours,
this morning, "that the flesh might be con-
quered but the spirit could not be subdned
