VVREP NOT FOR THE DEAD. VVntp not for the dead, Who tranquilly repose- Their spark-of life is fled But with it all their woes. "The broken heart is heal'd The reign of sorrow o'er; 'Their future bliss is seal'd, i And they can grieve no more- Mourn rather for the doom Of those who struggle on, In dreariness and gloom, Until their course is done Who linger here, and grieve, As Death dissolves each tie; That makes them wish to live- Yet canaot, dare not die.

THE SORROWS OF ERIN. h Erin I could my humble lay The sorrows of thy sons pourtray, I'd string say feeble lyre for thee, And pour its deepest minstrelsy. But, ah I no verse can e'er disclose 'The depth-the fulness of thy woes; And the sweet lyre's most touching to Are faint to hapless Erin's grgans Methinks I see a father press His children in a sad caress And then heart-breaking, turn aside, The fulness of that heart to hide. Motfiiaks I see the mother lean With speechless sorrow o'er the seen And at each little prattler's cry, To Heaven roll her strewing eye. The children too, methiuks I see, Cling round their wretched mother's Their vain request she anguish'd bel And only answers with her tears. To you, ye fair, the muse appeals, Ah! who like lovely woman feels ? Your sympathy to Erin tend, And prove her advocate and friend.

C. Hareford, Esq. Foreman). Lord GIFVOIIU, the Recorder, briefly addressed i them, but in so low a tone, as to be heard very Imperfectly in any part of the Court. His Lord- j thip said that he had the satisfaction to state that jases on the Calendar were few in number; but hat satisfaction was much diminished, when he eferred to the nature of one, of the cases, and the lameof the prisoner—a forgery for £000. by ienl'j/ Savery. He would not dwell particularly n the law of the case, or on the prejudicial con. equences of the crime of forgery in a commercia I ountry. As merchants and traders in that com- lercial city (Bristol), they could not fail to be seply impressed with them. As to the peculiar iture of the case, however, it might be well for .111 to observe, that the forgery was in no degree s criminal because the names forged were those persons not in existence. It was held by the v to be equally criminal and felonious to forge 'Rines of non-existing persons. Forgery was itne of the highest magnjt,ude; and though duty which the Grand Jury had to perform .s painful, it was of the greatest importance to e country, and he doubted not that they would, scharge it satisfactorily to their .consciences and ath, and to their country. The Grand Jury then retired, and the first in- lictuient forwarded to them was that against lenry Savery. Eight witnesses were sworn, nd directed to atteud the Grand Jury. At eleven ,'clock the Grand Jury returned into Court, and ttr. Hareford said that they had found a tru ,ill against Henry Savery for forgery." Two cases of manslaughter, on the Coroner's .quisitions occupied the Court till about .velve o'clock. Henry Savery was then directed, by the Re- ,y rder. to be piaced at the bar. Mr. Humphreys, e gaoler, soon appeared with him. jMr. Savery, who is stated in the calendar to be j years of age, looked pale. and was evidently jj»t feverishly agitated. Those who had long en acquainted with him, declared that the isoner was appallingly altered since his iinpri- iment. He. was dressed in black. lie looked Bench, till the reading of the indictment commenced. He then leant over the bar, covered hi face with his right hand, and he uently pressed his fingers against his eyes. enry Savery was committed Dec. 23, 1821, T. Hassell, Esq., the present Mayor of itol, for having feloniously and falsely made red, and counterfeited, a certain note ofhand, ed Birmingham, 7th Oct. 16240, and purporting be the note of one William Pearson, for the i of £ 300., with intent to defraud George ith and his co-partners, trading under the firm :he Bristol Copper Company," against the >tute, Ac, The indictment consisted of 19 jnts. rhe Clerk of the Arraigns then addressed the goller-11 Henry Savery, how say you Guilty Not Guilty?" Irisoner-" Guilty." This, answer was wholly unexpected by the )u.rt, and it was delivered in a firm and deli- rate tone. Lord, GIFFORD paused for some moments, ap- ring to be taken more by surprise than any yetse. He cjianged colour, and was evidently 16 affected by the painful duty he had to per- His Lordship at last said, earnestly look- .ng at the prisoner, Have you well considered your answer 1" Prisoner—" I hate." t Lord GirFouii-t trust no fal,e hopes have in- duced you to give that answer? Prisoner replied something about having de- liberately pleaded as he bad; but he was not dis- tinctly heard. Lord GIFFOUO again paused a few minutes, and then said—Prisoner, you had better consider a short time before you resolve to persevere in pleading Guilty. The prisoner shook his head, reclined on his hand, and again covered his face, agitated by grid. It was iiitiiiiate(I to the Court, that the prisoner had no other answer to give than what lie had given. Clerk of the Arraigns-Shall I enter the verdict, my Lord? The RECORDER-Wait a short time. The prisoner was taken from the dock, and in about five minutes he was brought back by di- rection of the Judge. The prisoner appeared to be much more collected, and looked partially round the Court. Lord GIFFOIlD-I understand, Henry Savery, you persist in pleading- guilty. Prisoner-l do, my Lord. (He then again looked round the Court somewhat collectedly, as if he had relieved his mind.) Lord GIFFOKD, having put on the fatal black cap, then addressed the prisoner:—Henry Savery yon have pleaded guilty to the crime of forgery charged against you, the forgery of a bill of ex- change for k,500., and purporting to be the note of W. Pearson, of Birmingham, and with the intent to defraud the prosecutors in this case.- You have, I trust well considered the conse- quences of pleading guilty. I trust no falsehopes or expectations, that by so pleading you should avert the dreadful sentence which it will be my painful duty to pronounce on you, have induced you to plead guilty. You were brought up in commercial pursuits, and you followed them for a considerable period in this respectable city, so that you must have been intimately acquainted with them you therefore could not but know the calamitous consequences to commerce which the crime of forgery is calculated to produce, as well as Hie magnitude of the penal results to yourself. So essential is it to givesecurity to the circula- tion of bills of exchange, so important is it in this country to give ground for confidence in such transactions, that it must have been impossible for you, in your own experience, of such matters, and the extent of injury calculated to be produc- ed by the circulation of forged instruments, whe- ther the names forged were those of existing or non-existing persons. Prisoner-My Lord, I was not aware that to forge the names of persons not in existence was criminal. Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, who was standing near the witness's box most agitatedly attempted to address the Court,—My Lord Mr. PALMER, one of the Counsel-My Lord, I believe evidence can be adduced of some circum- nces. .prd GippoRD-All these interruptions are ly very irregular. I must proceed, painful i the duty. It was impossible that you should ''now yon were circulating fictitious and frau- t paper, and that the intention was to de- and defraud. You could not be ignorant lose facts. It is melancholy to think that you Id have so destroyed your owncharacter, and ided the feelings of others, it i. not, however wish to add any thing to the grief that they st feel. But let me renew my entreaty that suffer not yourself to ti be led away by any isive hopes or expectations. The scene of life, inust shortly closl- upon you. Let me re you then to endeavour, not to atone to tv, for that I fear is impossible, but to se- c your peace with your MAKER. And let me Aràill say to you that this Court can hold out no expectations that the sentence, which it is now aiv*painful duty to pronounce onjóU. will not he carried into effect-The sentence is, that you, Henry Savery, be taken froin hence to the ptace from whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, and there be hanged by the neck tilt ,ou are dead. The prisoner, on hearing the latter words. seemed to lose all power of breathing, and drop- ped down his head. Mr. Smith, one of the prosecutors, who had before attempted to address the Court, made way through the crowd by the witness box towards the Bench, and very agitatingly exclaimed My Lord, as the prosecutor, I recommend him to mercy, recommend him to mercy, if mercy can be shown. The consequences of his crime were limited, the Public have suffered nothing-liardly- any thing." 11 Lord GIFFORD leant back on his seat, greatly affected but made no reply. The prisoner was then removed from the dock, amidst the deathly silence of a crowded Court, many persons present well knowiug the prisoner and his father the banker.

THE EPPING HllNTr Mr. Editor,—-Agreeably to your agreeable instructions I attended the Great Easter Hunt in Epping Forest to-day, and have just now satten myself down" to give an account of it—as well as the dust in my eyes and the agitation of my nerves will let me. y In the first place, as I a*- eredibly informed by a gentleman of the Epping Hunt (Mr. Augustus Cnppidge, of Gully-hole Alley, Wheeler-street, Spitalfield), more pleasurable anticipations were excited by the present chase than by any former one for many years past; inasmuch as the sport was expected to be uncommon good, in conse- quence of the Stag having been well broke in, run down, and shot In the face with No. 4shot, so late as last Tuesday all which, as Mr. Augustus Cappidge vei* Y itistly observed, must make the hanintal more sprightly, and at the aametime give Ihe/rrsh riders a better chance with him." This being the case, there was an astonishing demand for good hunters all throughout Whitechapel and Mile End,—not only among the members of the Epping Hunt residing in (owri, but among all the lovers of fieW sports in those districts generally. Of course the regular wembers ofthe Epping Hunt had the flrstjwA: ;r> anil many of the other gentlemen not knowing an orOe from a nwUer as Mr. Augustus Cuppidga observed, the demand though great, was pretty well supplied. Weehicle; of every kind, were also in great request for the conwayance of the more elderly sportsmen, spouses and spinsters and I am sorry to say, the stable- keepers took advat)tageorthe s[Lme-no less a sum thanjourteen shillings being demanded for a super- annuated buggy and roarer Nine o'clock, a. m.

;¡¡; ELOPEMENT. ONE of these romantic adventures has just oc. curred in the family of a wealthy merchant iM the City. The young lidy, wlio has not Yet tained her 16th year, and is heiress to a consi- derable fortune in her own right, was being edu- cated at a boarding school on the Windsor road, where an acquaintance commenced, rather acci- dentally, with the partner of her present flight, who was resident in the vicinity of tlit- school in the humble capacity of valet to a gentleman of fashion. Unluckily, as is too often the case, the latter took singular pleasure in dressing out his fellow (as the phrase is) in the extreme of elegance, so that the man was generally mistakes for the master, and vieeversa. Possessing a to- lerable address,, with itii immense stoek of assu- ranee, this gentleman contrived to ingratiate him- self so far into the unhappy girl's good graces, as I.Q be favoured with several tippoiate.41 meetings in the course of which, be induces her to el)pb with him, which she did on Sunday evening.— When she was missed, the lady, to whose clmrgo she was committed, despatched a messenger to her father's, in the supposition that, bavin" taken umbrage at a remonstrance made by her Gover- ness a few days previously, on account of inatten- tion to her studies, she-had merely gone home to complain 10 her father—as young ladies of her age are generally disposed to consider any infringe- inenton their pleasures, an unwarrantable exercise of authority. The distress of a parent, on receipt of such a piece of intelligence, may be better cdrs- ceived than described—an inquiry was directly made, and it was ascertained that the fugitives had set off for tike Metropolis,, by one. of the stages on the evening that the young lady left school. — On Monday, strict search was made, and it an* peared that the lovers had taken a temporary re- fuge at a house in Margaret-street, Westminster but were actively preparing for a trip to the Hymeneal goal at the other side of the Tweed. In consaqnrnceofthis intelligence, the enraged father applied for advice to the Magistrate of Queen-square Police Office,, who of course told him, by all means to exercise his parental au- thority, nnd with the aid of a constable, if neces- sary, force his daughter away. With this design he proceeded to the housp. but what washismor- tificartion, when he discovered, that the person of whom he came in search had already gone, the fellow having learned the steps: that were being taken by the justly enraged patent of his intend- ed and as they had taken their departure, with- out a moment's notice to tbe lady in whoso house they lodged, no possibility of tracing them could be bad, and as a last resource, application wait. made to the fellow's master, to ascertain what description of character his faithless valet sustain- ed previously, but the information received in that quarter was by no means consolatory to the wouuded feelings of a parent; as the m»at#r inti- mated a belief that the fellow was already mar- ried to another. The father and friends of tho unhappy gtrl entertain not the least doubt that they have gone off to Scotland, to complete their ill-assorted union, which will, if the suspicions of the fellow s master prove correct, be dissolved by a charge of bigamy being preferred against tlm husband.-Eveitit.tg paper.
