ADDRESS of Air. JUSTICE HARDINGE To MARY MORGAN, Convicted at Presteign Assizes, M-the llt/i inst. of Murdering her Bastard Child. •• Mary Morgan, •• Mary Morgan, "Upon evidence which leaves not a shade of doubt •upon the mind, you are convicted of murdering your child -a new-born infant of your own. sex-the offspring of your secret and vicious love. You are convicted of murdering this child with a knife, selected as the implement of a purpose deliberately form- ed, and before your infant caine into the world. You could not hate the victim of this murder. It never offended VOlt. It is true that, if it had lived, it would have proved your crime in its birth-and your shame would have been the consequence of that proof. But was this a reason to kill it ? If its first cries to vou for sustenance and care made it by force a living accuser of your guilt and of your infamy, could this be a reason to murder the unconscious little wit- ness against you ? Had it lived you might have lost your p)ace—you j might have lost other placcs-you might have lived in po- verty as well as in shame. But was this a reason to kill it ? Was it a reason to acquire a false character, and flourish in the world, though with a guilty conscience upon your pillow, and cries of a murdered infant at your ear? When did this tear of shame and poverty begin? Was it an obstacle in the way of your criminal inter- cotirse with your lover ?—No—when you had criminal passions to indulge, you had no fear of the risk. When those passions were satiated, and the mischief had been done, you became a coward, and sacrificed your infant offspring's life, as well as the interest of your soul hereafter to that new-born fear. Alas how dreadful are the landing-places of guilt when it ascends in its progress You began-with incontinence; criminal in itself but full of complicated peril in its tendency to worse crimes.— YOM- next guilt was a mask to the world in the conceal- ment of your pregnancy, which, besides the sin of the im- posture., was dangerous to the iufantyou had conceited.— And your last crime was the murder of your own Child inflicted by yourself! You have killed the human creature, who of all others had the most affecting right as'woll as dailu to your mercy and love You have murdered the offspring of your own guilt entailed' by the shame of its descent upon her innocent life. "At your wild and youthful age, undisciplined, I fear,' as well as uuenrightened, and with such early habits of de- praved self-indulgence, it is not probable that a religion which breathes in every page of it the love to infants, could have been impressed upon your mind. But the God of Nature has written a book which he that runs may read'—you. have read that book, and the letters of it were stamped upoa your feelings at your birth. It was a law written upon the living tablets of the heart, which told you how unjust it was to punish the off- spring of your own guilt for no offence but the wretched life you had forced upon it by that guilt alone. You should have exerted every moment of your own life in atoning by redoubled atFection to a daughter so bom for the calamity of such an existence. « Instead of projecting this atonement, you were deaf to jier infant cries, and stilled her breath with a murdering hand. But in this choice of ditriculties-iii this conflict of chance and of risk-what is it you have done ? You have taken a leap in the dark—yen have encoun- tered pc.riIQf detection ^uid of punishment by death, as the murderer of your child. took the, eltuiwc of. d-ing impenitent, (which God avert!) or with a,couscieu £ .t; ill-prepared for so dreadful a .('hauge as from this lie at onCe into eternity and its judgments. Yon tool: the-chancc—had you escaped from teetioir—had you imposed upon the world ever soHvell—of living sdf-accused, ;and self-accursed upon a bed of lin- gering torments. Thus it is that one guilt produces another, .especially in your sex, when seduced into its criminal intercourse with ours. "The natural delicacy,, of the female character entaiv' gles all its progressive, guilt—and a succession of Crittifef take their birth from the master-key, to then*. ;ill,.yout- dread of shame. "At last the mind is half buried in the* confusion-of shifted expedients to. escape from the importunate eye of the world. But there is an eye i eibout the. path and about the bfdJ' from which no darkness can escape, and from which no secrets arc hid.' .-■ That eye never is closed, and it brings guilt like yours to light in a manner for which human conjecture de- spairs to account; Guilt is always a coward. "Guilt like yours often prompts the sinner to accuse himself, and prove his crime by other evidence of the fact in a fit of despair, surprise, or fear. Madness like this comes too lute.—It is the effect and the doom of guilt, but it is no shelter for it. You have no plea of sudden impulse to this act (not that any such plea could avail you if it existed) yours was a deliberate murder—the deadly implement was procured and set apart for the purpose. Had you .escaped, many other girls, thoughtless and light as you have been, would have been encouraged by that escape to commit your crime with hope of your im- punity. The merciful terror of your example will save them. Desperate acts like these oltvn escape from punish- ment. Merciful juries—merciful rules of law-aild merciful judges give occasion to that impunity. If it is a defect, I hope it will never be repaired. But the same juries—the same law-and the same judges are firm to their trust in a case like yours. "The life that you destroyed lost its mother when you were its executioner for guilt of your own; But it found a parent in heaven. There is not a more. siicred object of that parent's love (whose children we all of us are) than a new-born child. Its blood is like that of Abei; it cries from the earth, and that cry is heard upon his throne, in whose image your murdered child was created. What your inducement was to sacrificp this pledge of your love and your crime we have no power to ascertain. Your conscience knows it; but we are able to know that it must have been unjust and cruel. I have talked with you hitherto as a judge going to pass the sentence of death upon his convicted prisoner be- iore him. But look up to me and I can give you comfort—for I call tell you (without impairing the weight of your pu- nishment in. this world) that you can turn away your eyes to the Judge of us aH, whose mercy has no limits, and whom no sinner can implore in vain-appealing to him with tears of penitence and remorse if they are deep and sincere. You must have-expected your fate, and I hope in God thatyou have prepared yourself by a new-made heart for a better world, having made all the human atonement in your power .upon earth. To cut off a young creature like you in the morning of her day (for it is little more than a day to the oldest of us all) is anafflictiou thrown upon me which I have no f power to describe, or to bCdrsowell as perhaps I should. But you must not think we are crud., "It is to save other infants like -i-S, and-many othtr girls like you, from the pit into which you are fallen. Yonr sentence is lricrcy to them. If you have repented of your crime, it is mercy to yourself. Had you escaped, your mind perhaps 'would have been so depraved, that mercy could not reach it in time. Youhttve the tears and prayers ofus all.-In our ab- horrence of your; crime, we have not lost our compassion for yonr personal fate—nor our hopu that'you may find mercy at the judgment seat.of a Redeeming Intercessor, who died, rtbat penitent sinners, through him, should be rescued from the doom they had incurred, and should expiate tlieirpai- lutions in the atonement of his blood. I I am now to pass upon you the awful sentence of your legal and inevitable fate in this world. It is, that you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, ahd from thence to the place of execu- tion, the day after to-morrow-you are there to hang by the neck till you are dead: your body is then to be dis- sected and anatomized. But your soul is not readied by these inflictions.-It is ill the hand ot your God—may that fountain of love show mercy to it when it shall appear before him at the day if judgment '■

ABSTRACT of a BILL, as amended by the Committee,for the more effectual prevention i f Smuggling. The preamble of the bill sets forth, that, in defiance of the laws, great quantities of goods are illegally imported into the united kingdom, as well by clandestine means as by open force, and by gangs of daring aiid dissolute per- sons, armed and assembling to carry into execution their evil and pernicious purposes, to the great detriment of the revenue, and the subversion of all civil authority. It is the object of the bill to provide some further remedy for these evils. It is therefore proposed to be enacted- 1. That any vessel of the burthen of 200 tons, or under, belonging wholly or in part to his Majesty's subjects, or any vessel whereof the master or one third of the crew are British subjects, found in any part of the British or Irish Channels, or North Seas, or within 100 leagues of the coast of Great Britain and Ireland, having on board spirits in casks containing less than 60 gallons, or any salt, exceed- ing in quantity one bushel to each seaman (unless under certificate for curing fish, or for exportation); or any tea, exceeding six pounds in the whole; or any tobacco or snrrtt, in any cask or package containing less than 42.51b. weight, shall be forfeited with the said goods. Exceptions are made of articles for the use of the crew, as spirits at the rate of two gallons for each seaMnn tea and manu- factured tobacco, duly shipped for eiportation, are also ex- cepted. 2. That no foreigif spirits, wine, or tobacco, shall be im- ported or exported from Guernsey, Jersey, Aliferney, or Sark, in ships, vessels, casks, packages, &c. of the dimen- sions above described (with the before-mentioned excep- tions) under pain of forfeiture of the vessels and goods 3. That any vessel having on board spirits, tobacco, &c. in quantities declared illegal by the preceding clauses, and found at anchor or ho\ering within two leagues of the coast of Guernsey, Jersey, or Sark, or within two miles of Aldernev, (unless in case of distress of weather, illuess of the master, &c.) shall be forfeited with her cargo. 4. i hat persons on board vessels liable to forfeiture, or assisting in unloading or concealing the cargoes of such vessels, shall forfeit either 1001. or treble the value of the goods attempted to be concealed one half of the forfei- ture to go to the informer, or persons discovering offen- ders. The offenders to be carried before nJustice of the Peace, who must hold them to bail but if they choose to enter into his Majesty's service as seamen or marines, they may be carried before the proper ofiicers for that purpose. 5. That the powers of excise and custom-house officers to examine vessels under former acts, shall be extended to all vessels liable to forfeiture by this act. 6. That persons assaulting, or obstructing officers of ex- cise, 6cc, shall be adjudged felons, and be liable to trans- I portation for Seven years, or imprisonment in the house of correction and that persons firing at any boat belonging -to the navy" customs, or excise, and persons shooting at, n^iiming, or wounding anyonicer of the navy, customs, or excise, shall be adjudged guilty of felony, and suffer death, without benefit of clergy. 7. That offenders under this act may be tried in any county in England. 8. That all-spirits seized to the southward of the Frith of Forth shall be brought to London, and lodged in the. I King's warehouses that all seized on the coast of Seot, land, or adjacent islands, shall be carried to any port in Scotland appointed by the Lords of the Treasury and that the strength of the spirits deposited shall be taken, and an ,a,e\:ollnt kept of the quantity. 'I That the Lords of the Treasury shall have power to \6rder the spirits seized to be re-distilled; to deliverwhat quantities they think proper to the victualling-cince and to settle the rewards to the officers and others, by whom such spirits were seized. 10. That protections from actions and powers granted by other acts to custom and excise-officers shall be extended to, officers of the navy and army. These are all the enacting clauses; but it is besides pro- vided that the act shall not extend to French wines import-: ed in bottics packed in cases, or exported under bond and: certificate; it is also provided, that the commissioners oil the customs and excise shall give rewards to informers, of- ficers, &c. iu cases where there is no forfeiture, in conse- quence of the persons liable hating entered into hit Majes- ty's service. The following anecdote rests, it is said, on the authority of M. De St. Faust, who commanded and waS taken on board l'Honneur schooner, by the Scorpion sloop of war. He -quitted Paris at the beginning of the present month,, and had only sailed one day from Delzyel when captured. A few days before his quitting Paris, Bonaparte had com- manded a play at the Theatre Francais, and in the usual style of Sovereigns, he appeared there with a brilliant re- tinue, and a very unnierous guard. The house overflowed in every part. He was seated in his box, and the curtain about to. rise, when an orange,- apparently artificial, was thrown upon the stagem-several voices exclaim cd, "Open the orange!"—The cry was repeated and re-echoed through every part of the house: A principal actor came forward) and, in compliance with the universal wish, opened the orange; therein he found a paper, containing a 20 livre prece of gold Coin. The house was silent as the grave- when the actor read aloud the following words.—«' Re- nounce the Corsican, and restore your Louis." The rap- turous burstofa pplause which cnsued"from every part of the house on these words being uttered, was not to be described—it: appeared to rend the house. Bonaparte heard it as his knell, and, quitting the theatre, returned his palace in ific utmost confusion and dismay. I us Light-houses, with telegraphic communications, have been lately, erected from thenorth-westernrparts of Ire- land to the south-western, from the extreme of which in- telligence way be received, being a course of 250 miles, allowing for the winding of shores, in half an hour. The Bombay Insurance Company, the ship-owners, mer- chants, and underwriters of that settlement, have voted 5000L -to'Sir Nathaniel Dance, and a sword value 100 gui- neas, as a testimony of the high sense they entertain of ins brilliant victory over Linois also swords of the like value to Captain" Tnnmins, Moffat,, and Wilson, of the Royal George, Ganges, and Warley Indiamen, for their gallant conduct ox the sarafe occasion. Earl Moira has resumed his command in Scotland. Friday moTnmg, pursuant to appointment, the principal partners in the house of Messrs. Goidsmid and Co. Curtis and Co. and Sir Francis Baringand Co. waited upon Mr. J.itt, to give in then- proposah) for the Irish loan. Mr. Foster and Mr. Vatilbittart wei-c present. On Mr. Pitt being made acquainted with the.terms offered, he ex- pressed himself perfectly satisncd with them, and compli- mented the gentlemen on their liberaUty.—The offer was as follows For every 1,001. to erceive 241. of £ per ccnts. at Bat, equal to 81 4' 9 'L* 5 Long Annuities, ditto 16 y"4<.hs 81 5 0 Discount 1 6 0 < £ 103 15 9 Jn case of prompt payment 1 60 more 105 19 100 0 0 Bonus » 5 1 9 The parties who offered for this loan at the Castle, In Ireland, and whose bidding was declined, arrived in town the same morning, and immediately waited upon Mr. Pitt, for the purpose of making another offer but he refused to have any further intercourse with them on the subject. The difference between the termi offered in Ireland, and those agreed upon as above, makes a saving of 8 per cent. The loan left off on Friday at a premium of six and a quarter per cent. Pursuant to a requisition of the Liverymen, a Common Hall was held on Thursday, to consider of resolutions rela- tive to the Tenth Report of Naval Inquiry, and on the pro- priety ot petitioning Parliament on the subject. Mr. Waithman addressed the meeting, and represented the ne- cessity of Constituted Bodies assembling to arm the House of Commons with motives to follow up the steps they had taken. He then contrasted the Conduct of Lord Melville with that of Messrs. Cox and Rawlins, who were now suf- J I -qlt i fering punishment for having committed a breach of law while executing an office that had been forced upon them, and thence drew the inference that it would be absurd to shew lenity to the former on account of his rank :—He next paid many compliments to the upright conduct of the House of Commons, and concluded with moving a string tlf resolutions, importing that a petition be presented toParlia- ment, streiyiQusly urging them to pursue their inquiries into the receipt and expenditure of the pftlic money; to in- struct their own Representatives to support all motions for the removal of persons detected in such abuses; and lastly; that the thanks of the Hall be given to Earl St. Vincent, as the primary cause of the investigation.—He was followed by Mr. Goodbehere and Mr. Waddington; the latter of whom intimated, that abuses, equally flagrant, prevailed in the city, and advised them to inspect their own accounts after which the resolutions were unanimously agreed to.- Sir J. Anderson expressed bis intention to accommodate his vote to their wisbes.Alderrocll Combe, Prinsep, and Price, severally declared their gratification at the proceed- ings of the meeting and the business concluded with.a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for his impartial conduct. A requisition, signed by the Dukes of Norfolk, Bedford, Northumberland, Earl Fitzwilliain, Lord Dundas, and a number of other gentlemen of the first' rank and conside- ration, has been presented to the Sheriff of Middlesex, for a meeting to be held on the subject of the public expendi- ture, to which the attention of the nation has been of late so,strongly called j "and the Sheriff has appointed Thurs- day the 2d of May for that purpose. Similar requisitions, it is believed, will speedily be made in other counties, and meetings of Corporate Bodies be called in every part of .the kingdom, to give their explicit approbation to the conduct of the House of Commons, and to call for a continuance of an investigation, which, if car- ried through every department of the State, cannot but be productive of the most beneficial cotisequences. ) Mr. Garrow, the barrister, was on Thursday elected a Representative in Parliament for the borough of Gatton, in Surrey. The following anecdote is communicated in a letter from Petersburgh, of the 9th December The Emperor of Russia had three pair of worsted stockings sent by Captain Brown, one of the last ships of the season, from Grange- mouth, as a present from a woman in that neighbourhood, for having liberated her son, John Duncan, a sailor, from his captivity. She wrote a letter along with them, calling the Emperor his most dreadful Majesty," saying the stockings were knit by her own hands, requesting be will let her know if they fit him, also how many children he has, or is likely to have, as she intends to devote the rest of her days to working worsted stockings for them. The let, ter and parcel came to the care of Dr. Wyllie, his.Majes- ty's physician, who delivered* tjiem to his Imperial Majes- ty, Tire Emperor, laughing "very heartily, said tnis wo- man's heart must be in the right place desired that they might be sent to the Chamberlain Strogonofr, and that he might present them in form. Copies of the pqor woman's- letter have been handed about." A gentleman of Somersetshire, a member of the, Bath and West of England Society, has lately offered to shew a pair of oxen against any two oxen in England, (the property of all individual grazier,).for 'lOOgs. to 50gs. for greatness of size, best proportion of make, fattest in the nn<>st valuable, points, and the most Colit)[ete in the shortest space of time.—These oxen h;>,ye been grazed upon ndiJFcrejUt. prin- j cipJc, or plan, to any ever used in the West qf England >' from whence it is proved, that cattle of the greatest size can; be made immensely fat, at a modcra.i.c cr.pence, in. four, or live months after taken from grass. i Not long since a gentleman near Birmingham tiaying oc- casion to see a neighbouring friend, callcd at his house and was informed he was gone out to save-'the trouble of calling again, he expressed a wish-to seethe mistress, but at I she was also gone out. That no time might be lost', lie re- quested to see the young master, but he was likewise out. .Wishing, however, ltotcto go without accomplishing his bu- siness, on saying he would then walk in, and sit by the tire till one of them returned, he was told by Pat, ^Indeed, £ ir».you kan't, for that too is gimeout 1 The sentence of a Court-Martial, lately held OJl Lieut. and Paymaster T. A. Marshall, of the 1st West York Mili- tia, has been published throughout the Southern District; it is, That the prisouer is found guilty ofbehayjllg ill a scandalous and infamous manner, unbecoming the charac- ter of an ofiicer and a gentleman, by fraudulently charging Government with considerable sums for greater quantities of meat, than were delivered to the regiment, at different pe- riods between the 1st April 1803, and 24th December 1804, between which periods the overcharge amounts to7691.6s. The Court therefore directs, that good the same, and that he be discharged from his Majesty's ser- vice." John Waltho, for setting fire to a barn at AtfriJtage, In Staffordshire, was executed on Saturday, in the front of the county gaol. Waltho lived a servautwith Mr. Hehney of Arnntage, in the year. 17119, and owing to his repeated neg- ligence a foal was killed in the stable when his Service expired, Mr. Henney stopped 51. out of his wages on that -j account..—Waltho frequently uttered expressions indi- cative of revenge for this, and on the night the crime was committed he was seen in vaflons places, going a'ud return- ing from the barn with a lighted candle, in a lanthorn, though a clear moon-light night; thw very moment after he had done tlie act he fled from that part of the country, and an interval of nearly, 16 years elapsed previous to his j return. His almost first'act afterwards was to go to his for- mer master, and demand the 51. which had been retained by him Mr. H. desired him to sit down, and he sent for a constable, who took him into custody. From the evidence j adduced at his trial, not a doubt of his guilt could be enter-' tamed, and the learned Jodge in passing the sentence of. death observed, that in great Ciiun's, though the person I committing them might for a long time elude the 'vigilance of justice, yet an over-ruling Providence in the end, gene- rally led him by some indiscreet act or other to betray himself, aud to meet that punishment he had long merited. The prisoner, since liis condemnation, evinced much peni- tence. Theatre, Coveni-Garden.—Thursday night a new Comedy by Mr. Colman, intitled, Who Wants a Guinea ?• was per- formed. An idea may be gathered of the story from the following outline Torrent, who has acquired an af- fluent fortune in trade,'is resolved to retire to rural tran- quillity, and to scenes that may open to him frequent op- portunities, of indulging a generous and humane disposi- tion, which hurries him into acts of indiscriminate'charity and Quixotic beneficence. For that purpose he purchases an estate in Yorkshire, and relies 011, the judgment of his friend, Mr. Keartley, a gentleman critically sentimental, who occasionally chides the impetuosity of Mr. Torrent's beneficence, and points out to him artists of modest but real merit, by whom his estate may be improved and em- bellished. Mr. Torrent, on his arrival at the yillage where his estate lies, finds the villagers in the "utmost distress, from a fire which had just consumed the houses of many of them. Here his generous nature finds ample room to'dis- play itself..Among others, he nires fop his'footman, Solo- mon Gund v, one of tlie sufferers, whose profession had been a wlui, h«5ng the son of the village schoolmaster, had acquired a smattering of French. Here also Mr. Barford falls in his way, and on hearing of his distress, and of the generous manner in which he rescued a young child from the flames, he first offers to relieve him but his offer being repulsed by the high pride and inde- pendent spirit of Mr. Barford, lie attempts to relieve him' secretly, by thrusting .a pocket-book containing 1501. into a bundle belonging to Mr. Barford. The pocket-book happened to contain besides a letter and a few memoran- dums which fully explained to Barford the condition and name of Mr. Torrent, who proves to be the brother of the man who had been the bosom friend of B.aford, but who proved to be his bitterest enemy by seducing his wife. Mr. Barford served in the army with the friend who betrayed him, and left his wife with an only daughter at Jamaica, where he served. His daughter was entrusted to the care 'of another friend, who brought her to England; but who on his arrival being suddenly forced away by a press-gang, was unable further to protect the young lady, of whom he became enamoured. Her forlorn state led her to lodge at the house of Old Skirt, a remnant seller, who endeavours |! to find her a situation through the means of an advertise- ment in the newspapers. Her piteous case caught the eye of Mr. Torrent, and he ordered his agent to hire her as his housekeeper. Her good friend, Olti Skirt, accompanies her to Yorkshire, but quits her about a mile from her de- stination. She however mistakes the house for which she was destined; and goes. to one intended for a Lord Ala- mode, where she meets, with all Irish Baronet, Sir Lawrence, who having lost, his estate at play, comes down to York- shire to- secrete himself lroiii his creditors. Out of this mistake of Miss Fanny artse the principal incidents, the business, and the interest of. the play. Her father, Capt. Delamere, who discovers she is in the country, suspects Mr. Torrent of dishonourable intentions towards her, which the-other resents, and joins with Capt. Delamere in anxious search for his daughter, who is found by her father, and by the friend who conducted her home, and who is finally united to her. Mr. Colman has constructed a tolerably entertaining and instructive drama, upon these slender ma- terials. Perhaps scarcely any of the" characters can alto- gether. pretend to novelty; but many of them are distin- guished by strong original features, and exhibit the humau heart in a striking variety of lights.
