[marked senu on.] mmediately upon the announcement of he verdict is most aflecting scene ensued. A great number of Mr. Mitchell’s friends, including several baristers, flocked round the bar, and grasped him warmly by the hand, thus testing their aflection lor the man. and their admiration for the herorc devotion to his principles displayed by this truly noble Irish patriot—the first victim of the infamous gagging act of the Whigs. There was a considerable emo tion at this time, when Baron Lefroy put an end to the scene by peremptorily or dering Mr. Mitchell out at court. Mr. Mitchell, however, did not appear to heed him, but remained leaning upon the bar in deep conversation with some ofhis friends. His lordship repeated his order in an irrit able and mandatory tone, but it was still disregarded. The jailer {then intimated to the prisoner the order‘ol the learned judge; whereupon John Mitchell rose slowly. turned deliberately round, and looked about the crowded court with the same calm and cheerlul countenance-the lame dignified and intrepid hearing which had characterized his demeanor all through this eventful trial. Again he shook hands with those of his friends whom he rould reach; and with firm and manly step walk led out at the dock, carrying with him the deep snrl heartfelt sympathy ol the vast majority of those present, many of whom iwere even allected to tears. He was at once escorted through the private passage from the court into Newgate. The court then adjourned to eleven o’- clock next morning‘ a Saturday morning dawned on the col prit in his cell, surrounded by his weeping wife and three infant children—arid that morning found many agroup of citizens congregated round the prison doors, and at the portals of the court, awaiting the hour when the doom so long wrought for. so anxiously sought. so 'warily brought a bout, trom the moving of the bill in the House of Commons to the sentence of ther judge, should be at length pronounced. The Court was crowded long before 11 o‘clock. the hour to which it was adjourn ed. A number of Mr. Mitchell’s lriends anrl artmirers were early in attendance, and took their places in the vicinity of the bar. _OO Mr. Holmes. the able and eloquent tlelentler of Mr. Mitchell, entering the court. he was received with loud cheering, and other demonstrations of applause and respect. 1 a.» At five min'utel past 11. thetJudges.

The Attorney Gener al having called upon us to havejudgmen entered on each count in the indictment. I order the clerk of the crown to do so. Mr. Mitchell, in a clear, firm. & man ly voice then spoke as follows amidst a solemn hush ol breathless expectation : The law has now done its part, and the’ Queen 0! England. her crown andgovern m‘ent in lreland. are now secureypursuaut to act of parliament. l have done my part also. Three months ago I promised Lord Clarendon and his government in this country, that l would provoke him into his courts ot justice, as places at this kind are so called, and that i would force him pub licly and notoriously to pack ajury against me to convict me. or else I would walk a tree man out at this court, and provokel him to contest in another field. My lord. I was setting my tits on that cast; but I knew that in either event the victory should be with me, and it is with me.— Neither the jury. nor the judges. nor any other man in this court. presumes to tma gine that it is a criminal who stands at this dock [murmurs ol applause, which the po lice endeavored to repress] l have lshewn what the law is made otin Ireland. I have shewn that her Majesty's govern - ment sustains itself in Ireland by packed juries, by psrtizan judges, and by perjur ed sherills. Baron chroy. The court cannot sit here to hear you arraign the jurors ol the country. the sheriffs, or the country, the administration at justice, the tenure by which the crown of England holds this country. We cannot sit here and suffer you to proceed thus, because the trial is over. Everything you had to say previ ous to the judgrncut the court was ready to hear, and did hear. We cannot under you to stand at that bar to repeat, i must say. very nearly a repetition ol the olience for which you have been sentenced. Mr. Alfie/tell. I will not say any more of that kind, but I say this: EarortLefroy. Anything you wish to say. we will hear; but I trust you will keep yourselt within the limits which your own judgment must suggest to you. Mr. Mile/tell. l have acted all through this business, from the first. under a strong. sense of rluty. Ido not repent anything I have done. and i believe that the course which I have opened is only commenced. The Roman who saw his hand burning to ashes before the tyrant. promised that three hundred should totlow out his en terprise. Can] not promise (looking at his friends who surrounded the'doclt) for one. for two, lnr three. aye, for hundreds. Several voices in the vicinage of the dock simultaneously, and with deep sol emnity, cried fthoosands.’ ,'and promise for me,’ The words were taken up all, through the court, and for some minutes] the building resounded 'nith the words, ‘and for me,’ ‘ and tor me, Mitchell ’— ' rely upon me.’ ‘ and me. too.‘ ‘I swear. too.’ ' and l,f 'and l.’ and phrases ol ‘similar import issued in such rapid suc cession from the members 0! the bar who sat round the table, trom the body ot the court, and from the occupants of the gal leries, that it seemed as ii the whole audi tory. inspired by the heroism of the man, vied to see who would be first to give him a pledge that his sellosacrifice would not be in vain. .
