EDWARD LAMBERT lIEPENSTAL
'Amongst the admissions of the witnes
ses of those times, of the means they took
to extort confessions of guilt, there is one
of Lieutenant. Hepenstal, of the Wick low
Militia, which is distin6iii-bed for the cool
ness of his effrontory, arid the atr-ociousness
of the climes openly licknowledged. He
penstal was a native of the county of
Wicklow; had been educated at the school
of a p ous Catholic priest, in Clarendon st.
Dublin, of the name of Gallagher, his
motile, being of the Catholic religion.—
He was brought up to the basin ss of an
apothecary. but 1795 renounced the pestle
for the sword—and halter. Being a man
of Herculean stature, he made a gallows
of his person, and litterally hung num
bers of persons over his shoulder The
first inhumau exploit of this kind perform
ed by him was at Mysores - , in the ciaitity
Westmeath, in 1796, whet e he entered the
cabin of a poor man of the name of Smith,
arrested the pia man and his sons, and: put
the latter to death: one of them having been
strangled by suspension over the shoulder
of this monster.
'At the trial of Hyland, in S. - ptember,
1797 at the Athy assizes. under the White
boy Act, Repenstitl being examined touch
ing the mode of procuring evidence from
the witnessiagaitist the prisoner, said, on
examination, 'lle had us -d some threats.
and pricked him with a bayonet;' and
when cross examined by Mr. M'Nally,
said, 'this prisoner was also been pricked
with the bayonet, to induce him to confess;
a rope had been put about his neck,
which was thrown over his (Hepenstal's)
Ishouldeq
,he then pulled the rope, and
drew the prisoner up, and he was hung in
this way for a short time; but continued
sulky, and confessed nothing;' whereupon
Mr, M'Nally said, "Chet, you acted the ex ,
ecutioner, and played the part of a gal.
lowsl"Yes, please your honor,' was the
reply of Lieut. Hepenstal.
'The Solicitor-General, Mr. Toler, who
tried the case, in his charge to the jury,
regretted the treatment of the prisoner,
-but it was an error such as a young and
gallant officer might fall into, warmed by
resentment.' Sir Jonah Barrington whs
found guilty.
'The memory of this infamons man has
received its deserts at the hands of a clerin
cal gentleman, of t e name of Barrett, in
the form of an epitaph:-

Hand-writing of Eminent Men.—lt is I
generally believed that men of genius write
in a very , obscure, infirm, and eccentric
characters, Such as Byron, Chalmers, Jet
frey, _and Bonaparte. Washington wrote .
a firm, manly, straight-forward line, every
letter legible and distinct; Jefferson's hand
writing was bold and masculine; Bona-,

Burke was uneven aid hurried; Hamilton
.wrotea running -hand, Sparing; Canning's
penmanship has a hasty hand, but with a

Flouring Mills in New Orleans.—W
stated a few days . aince that theirs W 34 a
project on foot in New OrleanS to build a
great steam flouring mill, for the purpose
of manufacturing into flour, the large quan
tities of wheat which can be furnished by
the great Valley of iha Mississippi. The
New York Mornittg Post supposes that if
this project is carried out, New Orleans
will become a successful -Competitor with
Baltimore and New, York fur the flour
trade with the West Indies. It is well
known that Illinois, lowa, Indiana and
Ohio, produce wleat as fair and heavy as
any in the world, but, as a seneral thing,
the mills are vary Ipoor and . d not make
good flour,—flesides, when the time ar—
rives for sending the new flour to market,
th' western livers'are too low for naviga—
tion, while the grain is mostly thrashed just
in time to take advantage of the rise in
the streams which . take place in the fall.
• The receipts of produce for export, we
learn from the Nev Orleans papers, are
much heavier since the first of Szptembet ,
the beginning of their commercial year, to
the 10th of this month, than for the same
peri rl in 1811., The Mowing table o
receipts for that space of •time, we find in
the Boston Post: •
Received this year. Lut ! t ear at same time.
C.otcot, 56.000 bales. 43,000 bales,
Flour, 43.000 bailels. 24,000 barrels.
Wheat, 15.000 packages. 1.275 packages
Lead. 53,000 trig?' 30 000 pig,
Whiskey. 6,000 Barrels. 1,500 bit rels.
The prices of 6ese staples, in the pre
sent deranged state of the currency, re
suiting from a transition from a redundant
paper circulation ;to one of specie, and the
certainty of abundant crops, inevitably, are
very low.
Clear the Coutse.—The N. Y. Union I
says that Nlr. Bolls states in a letter pub.
lished in the Richmond Whig that "every
body stood aghast at his disclosures when
he pronounced President Tyler a traitor to
his party." Botts and his thimbe rig co
adjutors have prOd , iced in the Whig patty
pretty mcch sick an overwhelming amaze•
ment as the c 'njuror did in this Sate, who,
after going through numerous tricks, said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am now going
to astonish you"—so saving he him
self down on the carpet and blew his
brains out. The Ohio, Maryland and
Pennsylvania elections prove how much
astonished the, Whigs - were at Butt's dis
closures—he has blown out their brains
beyond any doubt.
The Result in New Jersey.
We subjoin from a New Jersey paper, tie re
sOlt uf the late election in New Jersey. it will
he seen that in spite of the infamous manner in
which the state,is gerrytnaniered, the democrats
came within un ace of electing the members in
Morris county, which would have made a tie in
the Legislature. The fict •that. 25 more votes
woula bare elected the democratic ticket in Mor
ris county, and that the Ddmocrats had 43
majorty of the popular vote at
,the late election
may %veil mike whiggery tremble in its shoes.—
Another year and. the" Broad Seal" will pass in:
to the keepin g of men who will nut .abuse it by
making it give solemnity to acts of treason.
"Morris county gave the Legislature to the
Coons by a majority of only 21votes! Thus ,a

The National Forum, a leading Coon
paper of Philadelphia, has a picture of •the

Whiffs have elected a State Senator in St.

the Forum says, will secUre the choice of
Whig U. S. Senator. It may be well e

most politely received by a committer; but
the Frenchmen declined the proposed en -

arraneed that a match slOu'd take place he•

contended for by the Amazonian champions
with the Englishmen, and in a few minutes
400 francs ' were limner) ninz for the pur

the Grand Turk; the boats wero manned
and womann ed respectively. The race.
which was well contested on both sides,
was soon begun and concluded; and, amid
the cheers of 20,000 spectators, the Saltas

he arose, and with a faltering lip begged
two or three weeks stay of sentence to ar
range his affiirs, as he had been in trade
transactions with the particulars of which
his relatives had no acquaintance. The
Court refused.
The Colonel then made a really elo
quent speech. He said—
My position, if it please the Court, is
the most agonizing one conceivable. I
have been hunted to the death, persecuted
with a malignity unparaltelled in the his
to; y of man, but unequal as his I•een the
c , intest, and sanguinary as will b," the end,
yet all will not ore.vortt • rne.ft orn .preser.
ving the dtgnity t of a man: Like an old
oak that has stood the blast of an hundred
years, I gather uew energies from the op ,
position that calls them forth.

lam to. be offereil up a saclitic on the
alter of avarice, with a view to satisfy the
designs of a set of brokers, and consequent
ly have been set upon by a lot of brok-ers
and of brokers' bOys, whose trade is to
swindle, who are generally dishonest, and
whose profession is regarded in this light.
Some of these 1 perceive are now present,
and I can read in their looks the savage
joy that possesses them .in observing the
position in which 1 am placed—they have
manacled my limbs, persecurA me to the
utmost, and they rejoins in the idea that I
am now to he consigned to a living tomb—
but their triumph will be brief—they can
dispo e of my body, but the soul, that
im
mortal part, they cannot reach or control.

Think not, because I am threatened,
that I shall fir one moment degrade my
self by asking suppliant favors. lam well
aware what the law imposes, I wish, how
ever, it compelled you to consign me at
once to total annihilation. lam made the
victim in,this charge, yet -I am innocent—
innocent as. the Saviour of the world, or
as th-- child unborn.
_Still' I ask no favor.
I would (*lain to ask mitigation as to my
fate --that.rnan has yet to be born before
wham 1 would bend a suppliant knee.

As to my sentence, I care net if it is for
an hour , 91- - a.thousand years. When :I en
ter that nris-an, to me it will be fur_ cver—
never more to come into the world, and it
is to be hoped that those ,who have hunted
