SONNET TO FAME . Oh fame ! I care not for thy empty glories ; I do not aim to climb thy lofty steep : E ' en all thy loved and loudly sounding stories Will soon in dark and rtill oblivion sleep , " Calm through the silent Tale of life to creep . "Be mice the lot unnoticed and unknown—Save by some gentle spirit -who will -weep "When I -weep , and joy—when joy may crotrn The season of my life . The -world ' s acclaim Or bitter censure , I will heed no more Than -when the angry wave may lash the shore , And 1 safe fixed on itrra firma am ; I may regard awhile the ocean ' s roar I > eeining it music—and then all ii o ' er . Edward Thokas . Newport , January 7 , 1829 . - •• SONNET . —THE POET'S SOLITUDE . JTay , pity not his solitary doom ; He does cot ask the "world to sympathise ; His realm and intellectual kingdom lies Within the limits of that narrow room . The walls-are bare , but never earthly loom Such lustre gleamed upon corporeal eyes , As fancy to th&t student pale supplies Of phantoms glimmering in the twilight gloom . All forms of beauty , by poetic spell Revealed unto the world , are with him there ; All dulcst echoes of Apollo ' s shell , Since Time had birth float in the charmed air ; And with nis soul in daily converse dwell , Spirits diTinely wise , o ' r beautifully fair .

TffE Vale op Cashkkhe . —There is perhaps no Country -which possesses gres , t « T inland facilities * for . commerce than the region which is bounded on the West by this BoWe river ( the Indus ) , and intersected by the waters of Punjab . The fertile and fruitful Tale of Cashmere limits its sceptre on the North ; situated so that it can export , - without trouble , its o stly fabrics to the contiguous kingdoms of Persia and Tanary , of China and India ; and , midway between Hindostan and the chief of entrepots of " Central Asia , it shares the advantages of their traffic , and is blessed with an . exuberance of eTerj production useful and nutritions to mau . The manufac-¦ tares and produce of this country embrace the luxuries and conveniences , as well as the necessaries of
life . The shawls of Cashmere and the fabrics ot Moultan proride robes for the courtiers and chiefs ; husbandmen and citizens are furnished -with cheaper - -textures in their native cottons . The grain indigenous to the country affords s > bounteous supply for ill domestic animals ; the uplands yield condiments - * nd fruits to season the daily bread ; while mountain rages of rock salt furnish that necessary and healthful ingredient of food in abundance . The staple ¦ « ominodhy of the Punjab is the shawl manufacture of Cashmere—a fabric which no exertion of foreigners ean imiiate for its delicacy , -warmth , and ¦• omfort . But the commercial genius of the people has introduced the manufacture of silk , though the worm be unknown in the countries of the Punjab . The natives of Rohun and Hoshyarpore , to the east , are skilful manufacturers of ooiton ; and their looms famish white cloth of Tarious value , some as high
as two shillings per yard , and some only sixpence per vard ; it is strong and durable . Gold is found ;' and Besides salt , reins of coal and mine 3 of iron have beeu discovered ; matchlocks and swords are formed ; and the warlike weapons of Lahore hare been renowned among the Indian nations : sulphur , nitre , and the best charcoal supply their manufacture of gunpowder . Wheat and barley are produced to meet the demand ; but gram , moong , mut , and b » - jree , besides other grain , fiid here a market . P » ice and sugar-cane thrive luxuriantly , and indigo is reared for exportation . The sesamum plant supplies a valuable oil ; and the finest tobacco is grown in Moultan . Turnips , carrots , and other excellent vegetables , are produced everywhere ; while most of thevinflMUMi fruit-trees common to Europe may be seen in Bosfctwar and Cashmere . The land we hare now traversed is fruitful , and her storas yield corn tad wine , oil and salt .
Akesica * Hotxllishcs . —To one who has beea -accustomed to the extortion of the inn * and hotels in "F-nfliaM and the old continent , nothing at first is more remarkable than to find that there are more remains of the former American purity of manners -and primitive simplicity to be observed in their establishments for the entertainment of man ana iiorss , than in any other portion of public or private life . Such is the case , and the causes of the anomaly are to be explained . I presume that the origin of hotels aid inns has been much the sjftne in all iBonntries . At first the solitary traveller is received , welcomed , and i » spft * blj entertained- ; but as the * wayfarers multiply , what was at first a pleasure be-- omes a tax . For instance , let us take Western
- "T faprria , through which the first eruption to the ¦ Far West may be said to have taken place . At firet every one waa received and accommodated by those who had settled there : but as this gradually became incouTenient , not oily for interfering with their demesne privacy , but from their not oeing prepared to meet the wanta of the travellers , the inhabitants of any small settlement met together and agreed apon one of them keeping the house of reception tfiis was not done with a view of profit , the travellers being only charged the actual value of the articles consumed . Such is still the case in many places in the Far West . A friend of mine told me £ ha ; he put up at the house of a widow woman ; he fnpped , slept , had his breakfast , and his horse was
also well supplied . When he was leavisg , he in"" quired what he had to pay t The woman replied , "Weil , if I don ' t charge you something , I suppose you will be aSronted . Give Be a shilling , " '—a earn not stLfirieit to pay for the horse ' s corn . The American innkeeper , therefore , is still looked upon in the light of your host : he and his wife sit at the table , at meal-time *; when you arriv * he greets you wiih a hearty welcome , shaking your hand ; if you arrive in company with those who know him , you are introduced to him ; he is considered as on a level with you ; you meet him in the most respectable offlpamee ; and it is bet justice to siy that , in most Distances , they are a very respectable portion of society . Of course , his authority , like that of the
captains of the steam-boa : * , 13 undisputed : indeed , the eaptains of these boats may be partly considered u lapsed under the same head . Tail is one of the jnos : pleasing features in American society ; and 1 wink it is likely to last longer than most others in - this land of change , because it is upheld by psblic opinion , whieh is k > despotic . The mania for tra-. Teiiiag among the people of the United States renders it most important that everything connected with locomotion should be well arranged : society oezuancis h , public opinion enforces it , and therefore , was few exceptions , it is bo . The respect shown to the master of an howl indune * people of the highest character to embark in the profession ; the continual stream of travellers which pour through the country fires
sufficient support , by moderate profits , to enable the innkeeper to abstain from excessive charges ; the price of everything is known bv all , and no more IS charged to the president of the United States than * o other people . Every one k ' -ows his expenses : there is no surcharge ; and fees to waiters are voluntary , and never asked for . At first , I used to examine the bill when presented : but latterly I looked at the sum total at the bottom , and p&id it * t once , reserving the examination of it for my " laisure ; and I never , in one instance , found that I had beea imposed upon . Thii is very remarkable , ¦ Mid shows the force of ncblie opinion in America ; for it can produce , when required , a very scarce article all over the world , aud still more icarce Hi . the profession referred to—honesty . —MorrycU .
' The pleasttrablb ExciTatRYis of Was .- —After ' . anding ia York Island , we drove the Americans iato their works beyond the eighth milestone from Ifew York , and thns got possession of the best half of the island . We took post opposite to them , placed our piquets , borrowed & sheep , killed , » ooked and aw some of it , and then went to sleep on a gate , which we took the liberty of throwing off its hinge * , covering our fee ; with an Amsriean tent , for which we should hav / i cut poles and pitched , had it not been so dark . Give me such living as we enjoy at present , such a hat and such company , and I would not care three fanhing 3 if we stayed all the winter , &r though the mornings and evenings are cold , yet 3 &e sun is so hot as to obligs me to put up a blanket M a screen . Tell my best of mothers that my compass has been of the greatest use in enabling at to ascertain the proper aspects for our houses , and has rained me , in fine , the thanks of all parties . The

How the People enjoy Hamptos Cotmi . —The palace has only been fairly thrown open this summer , and for some time the fact was but very little H ? 0 Wn ; yet > tlirou £ 11 spring and summer the resort thiiher has been constantly increasing ; the average number of visitors on Sunday or Monday is now two thousand fire hundred , and the amoum of them for the month of August waa thirty-two thousand ! And how have these swarms of Londoners behaved ? With the exception of some scratches made on the panels of the staircase—for the discovery of the perpetrator of which an ominoHS placard is pasted on the door-post as yon enter , offering five pounds reward , but of which " slight injury no one can tell the date ( the police , who are always on the
spot , never Having wnuesied tke doing of it since they were stationed there ) , I cannot learn that the slightest exhibition of what has been considered the English lore of demolition has been made . Never have I seen , at all times that I have been there , a mere orderly or more weil-p ! eased throutc of peop ' le . I happened , accidentally , to be there on Whit-Monday , when , besides the railway , upwards of a dozen ? prin ^ -vans , gaily adorned with ribbons and blue and red hangings , had brought there their loads o « servants and artizans , all with their sweethearts , and in fine spirits io- a day ' s country frolic ; and not le _ - > s than two thousand people were wandering through the house and gardens , yet rothing could be more decorous than their behaviour . Kever . indeed
, aid I behold a scene which was more beautiful in my eyes , or which more sensibly affected me . Here were thousands of those whose fathers would ' have far preferred the brutal amuesment of the buDbaiting or the cock-pit ; who would have made holyday at the boxing-ring , or in guzzling , beer in the lowest dens of debauch—here were they , scattered in companies and in family groups ; fathers , motners , brothers aad sisters , old people , and children of all ages , strolling through tne airy gardens , admiring the flowers , or resting on the benches , or watching the swarming shoals of gold and silver fish in the basin of the central four , tain , and feeding them with crums of cake and bun amid shouts of childish delight . Here were these poor people , set free from the fret and fume , the dust and sweat , and mental and bodilv wear and
tear oi their city trades and domestic " cares , welldrftssed , amongst their more wealthy neighbours , clean , and jocucd from the sense of freedom and social aiftction , treading walks laia down only for royal feet , listening to the lapse of waters intended only for the ears of greatness and high-born beauty , though all constructed by the money of their forefather *; and here were they enjoying all these more than King or Cardinal ever could do , beneath a sunny sky , that seemed to smile upon them as if itself rejoiced at the sight of bo much happiness . There , too , through the open windows , you saw the passing crowds of heads of men and women wandering through the rooms , intent on the works of Raphael , Titian , Correggio , Lely , Vandyke , Kneller , Rembrandt , Rubens , Ricci , Giulio Romano , aud many another master of the sublime and beautiful ;
pausing to behold forms of power , and grace , and J . oveiiues 3 , and to mark many a face of man or woman whose names are so bruited in our annals that even the most ignorant must have heard something of them . Here , surely , was significant indication of a change in the popular mind in the course sf one generation , which must furnish an answer to those who ask what has education done for the ¦ masses , and most pregnant with matter of buoyant augury for the future . Those who do not see in such a spectacle that the march of intellect , and the waiting abroad of the scnoolmaster , are something
iiore than things to furnish a joke or a witticism , are blind indeed to the signs of the times , and to the eertainty that the speed of sound knowledge amongst the people will yet make this nation more deserring of the epithet of a nation of princes , than ever Rome deserved from the Parthian ambassador . I could not help asking myself , as my eye wandtred amid the throng , how much more happiness was than the suht of that happiness was needed to prore the rationality of throwing open such places to diffuse amongst th » roil lion at once the truest pleasure and the most refining influences . — Houitt ' s Renarkahk Placet .

CLOSE OF THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS . ( Before Mr . Justice Williams . J John Owen , whose trial was proceeding when our express left on Thursday , was found guilty of making weapons for unlawful purposes , and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment . Thomas Davis and Benjamin Richards pleaded guilty to an indictment for conspiracy and not , and were sentenced—the former to four months , and the latter to six months imprisonment in the House of Correction . Uaac Phillips was indicted for stealing a cleaver , whilst engaged as one of the rioters . He was defended by Mr . Skinner . The evidence did not elicit any matter of novelty , and not being conclude against the prisoner , he was acquitted .
Thos . Morgan was indicted for conspiracy and riot . He had originally pleaded not guilty , but when placed at the bar to take his trial , pleaded guilty . Mr . Bellamy , by the direction of the judge , inquired -whether he was fully aware of the effect of this alteration of this p ^ lea , the prisoner made a reply in Welch . Mr . ( jeath informed the court , that the purport of it was that the prisoner could not speak English , and that he knew nothing whatever of the charge against him . Mr . Justice Williams requested , Mr . Geach to explain to him the nature of the charge . Mr . Geach said , that though he could understand what the prisoner said , he was not sufficiently conversant with the Welch language , to be able to put a question to him in that tongue .
The business was at a stand-still for some moments in consequence of the absence of any one who could interpret between the court and the prisoner . On the arrival of Mr . Thomas J . Phillips , howeter , the difficulty was removed , that gentleman having undertaken the task of interpreter . Through his agency , the prisoner informed the court that he was perfectly aware of the effect of withdrawing his plea of not guilty and pleading guilty . Mr . PhiUipd then , at the request of the court , acquainted the prisoner that the charge against him was for being one of a number of persons who forced
a young man out of his house , and compelled him to join the expedition against Newport . He answered , that he had done nothing of the kind . The learned judge observing that this was inconsistent with his present plea , desired that he should be apprised , that from the depositions there could beno doubt of his having acted as described . But there was a circumstance stated in the depositions , which was rather favourable to him , namely , that he had been the means of enabling the pressed man to escape . This being repeated to the prisoner , he siill alleged his ignorance of the whole transaction , but persisted in his plea of guilty .
Ihe Judge said that notwithstanding the favourable circumstance to which he had alluded , the prisoner ' s conduct could not be suffered to pass without some punishment . He , therefore , sentenced him to three , months' imprisonment and hard labour . _ Samuel Etheridge was placed at the bar on an indictment for conspiracy , but was informed that hfc was at liberty to traverse to the next assizes if he thought fit , the learned judge explaining to him , that if he did not do so he must Temain in prison until he put in bail , and then he would be discharged . Prisoner—Very good , my lord . I am very agreeable to that . If witnesses are required , I have not rot any .
Mr . Justice Williams—Then you prefer traversing to the assizes < Pr isoner—The time of the court has been so much occupied that I do not wish to trespass on it further . Mr . Justice Williams—Do not consider the time of the court , but your own advantage . Mr . Sergeant Talfourd ( to the prisoner)—Yon said something about witnesses . Are there any for whom you wish to wait 1 Prisoner—The evidence brought against me before the magistrates at Newport 1 thought did not
require any witnesses on my part . I could not afibiyd the expense of maintaining witnesses here , and . therefore I have got none . But I would as goob take my trial now . Ik . Sergeant Talfourd then stated the case , and called witnesses for the . proso « utiony who deposed to the fact of words having been uttered by the prisoner favourable to the designs of the insurgents , and also to the discovery of plans of the insurrection in beer-house , which was supposed to be kept by' toe prisoner , but which turned out to be kep * i # » - daughter . - - « "
~»^—Mr . Justice Williams considered that unless the counsel for the crown could carry the case further , this evidence was not sufficient to convict the prisoner ; and Mr . Sergeant Talfourd having Btated that he could bring no more direct evidence , the prisoner was acquitted . John Batten , Wm . Jones , and Edward Pillinger , were then put to the bar charged with conspiracy and not . The former prisoner was acquitted , no evidence being offered against him . The two latter pleaded guilty , and circumstance * of mitigation having been thown , they were discharged on entering into recognizances to appear when called on to receive judgment . Mr . Justice Williams then informed the jury that , having disposed of the cases before him , he felt great pleasure in discharging them from further attendance , and adding that the county was much indebted to them for their valuable services . ( Befort Baron Parke . )
Mr . Sergeant Ludlow and Mr . Wightman prosecuted for the crown . Lewis Rowland was charged with riot and conspiracy . —Guilty . Edniond Richards pleaded guilty to a charge for riut and conspiracy . Thomas Lewis , charged with blowing out a furnace , aad pressing men to join the Cnartists . —Guilf . y . John Charles , conspiracy and riot , pleaded guilty . James Moore , blowing out furnaces . —Guilty . George George pleaded guilty to the charge of riot . William Arard , blowing out furnaces . —Guilty . John Partridge indicted for conspiracy and riot . Thomas Edwards , W . John Llewellyn , William Coles , and Job Harris , pleaded guilty to riot and conspiracy . John G _ ibbs was convicted of making pikes for the Chartists .
The above prisoners were removed from the court as they were found or pleaded guilty . As soon as the business of the court was concluded , Baron Parke ordered them to be again placed at the fear , when his Lordship addressing them said-Yon , prisoners at the bar , have all either confessed your crimes or have been found guilty . Your crimes carry with them the character of misdemeanors . But for the merciful interference of the crown you would hare been responsible for great offences . The clemency of the crown and the merciful proceeding on the part of its law officers , have prevented the outrages committed by you on the 4 th November being punished as they would otherwise deserve . The court has acted a most lenient part towards men charged with such outrages , when it has onlv
indicted them for misdemeanors . I hope , sincerely , that the clemency of the Government and the leniency of the court will not be lost , but that the countJ 7 will experience the most beneficial results from them . I \ o gentence would be passed adequate to , orimprisonment inflicted , sufficient for such outrage ? , When the crown recommended so lenient a course , a difficulty has arisen to me as to the manner in which I should apportion the several punishments to the different degrees of crime . Some of you have taken an active part , and others have deeply mixed themselves up in those treasonable transactions , while not a few have rashly followed . The learned judge concluded by stating , that he had given « ach case its due consideration , and awarded the punishment accordingly . His Lordship then passed the following sentences : —
Lewis R 9 wland—one year ' s imprisonment and bard labour . Edward Llewellyn—nine calendar months in the gaol of Monmouth , and hard labour . William Coales—six calendar months in the gaol of Monmouth , and hard labour . Job Harris—four calendar months and hard labour . Edmoud Richards and Thoma » Lewis—three months each in the gaol of Monmouth , and hard labour . John Charles—three calendar months in the gaol of Monmouth , and hard labour . James Moore—one year is the gaol of Monmouth , and hard labour . W . Arard—two calendar months in the gaol of Monmouth , and hard labour . George George—six calendar months in the gaol of Monmouth , and hard labour .
John Partridge—six calendar month * and hard labour . John Gibbs—one year ' s imprisonment in the gaol of Monmouth . Thomas Davies was bound in his own recognisances of £ 50 te keep the peace for five years . He pleaded guilty to a charga for riot . H . Harris , Tnrner . andToHilins were bound in their own recognizances to keep the peace for five years . His Lordship , haviag passed the several sentences , again addressed the prisoners .

Joseph Addy was there with me . I want into [ the parlour . I saw Peter Britton , John flntlon , Solomon Britton , George Britton , and Dentils Pritchard there . I sat down , and was about navduj some beer , when Pritchard asked my name . I 4 « d himmyname was Wm . Harris . He asked SSLTi 1 wa «» married man ! ' I said , 'I was .

hlione . ' He said * My child should be hung or trflpported , and my wife should be a widow . ' I raf afraid to speak , because all was on me . They aKve said , I was a false swearer . ' One asked me a | pust whom I was ! Another answered ' I have l 3 £ on tne P P er wftom he is against . ' I had been Mind over in the part of the Crown to appear a « nstTrost and others . In obedience to a sub-P < f » a I attended as a witness against John Frost asAothers . A man ( Allen ) with a wooden crutch uflfBr his arm . sprung out of his seat , and putting u | £ bis crutch , * swore that he would put my ¦ - bjiiBs about the room . ' He said'That I was a we swearer . ' The others were present , but did not fljfeak so much as Pritchard . They were all
botherme . Oae asked me , * What I swore against Jtfori' I told hiia'I saw him ( Frost ) there . I re the truth , and nothing but the truth . ' They i fastened the door . The man ( Allen ) with a den crutch was hopping abfrut me , and swearing rould knock my : brains out . After the rwas closed , the mistress of the house came iu told me that a gentleman wanted me to come to with him . I caught hold of her arm , and said Bhouldvnot go , for I was , afraid . She haid some wanted me . Iiweu * out dnd proceeded to the K , Sw $ »» - , Nothing - * lse occurred .

--Mum gestures . Examination continued—He put the crutch before me . I am afraid of bodily harm , and I ask the protection of the law . I have no ill-will to the prisoners JLlie man with the crutch 6 aid , he had got a sword at home , and would buy two secondhand pistols . He would chop off the head of any mau who would come near him . Aliens-if aiiy man would come into my house to rob me I would blow out his brains . WitnesB , iu continuation—They fastened the door by putting their hands against it . W . Owen—Am I at liberty to question the witness as to the truth or falsehood of his Btory . The Mayor—I am bound to take his oath when he swears he is in bodiiy fear .
Mr . Owen conceived that it would be much to tho peace of that county , and the country in general , if the poor man was satisfied that equal justice was meted out to him . Mr . Williams contended , that in the case be f ore the bench , Mr . Owen had no right to cross-examine tho witness . He hail sworn that he was in bodily fear . That was sufficient to compel the bench to grant him the usual protection .
Mr . Phelps—As to anything being done this way or the other , for example sake , that was not the question . Evidence had been given that a witness for the crown had sworn to his being in peril . He ( Mr . Phelps ) had received positive direction to prosecute to the utmost anyindmdual who may directly or indirectl y threaten the witnesses who had been examined since the investigation into tho Newport riots commenced . That duty he would undoubtedly perform .
The Mayor—I am satisfied on the evidence of the complainant that he is entitled to protection . I , therefore , direct that the prisoners find bail , £ 40 themselves , and two sureties in £ 20 each , to keep the peace . John Allen was again charged by Israel Firman , with having put him , by threats and gestures , in bodily fear . Israel Firman sworn . Mr . Oliver—I beg to ask him a few questions previous to his direct examination ) The Court—You may do so . Witness to Mr . Owen—I believe in Jesus Christ ever since I came to the knowledge of the Gospel . I never said otherwise .
It must be in the recollection of our readers that this witness is the quack doctor whose name has been so mixed up with tho examinations at Newport . Israel Firman examined—I was last night at the Black Swan ; I saw Allen there ; he told me I ought to be shot long ago , or hung , because I swore false . He did not say when I swore false . I was bound to appear as a witness for tho Queen , on the part of the crown , against John Frost and others . He ( Allen ) said that I swore false and took false oaths , and had taken people ' s lives away . I asked him " How could I swear falBe when the people owned themselves guilty . " I . iaid " I bad not been before the lord judge , but before the grand jury , " He said " I was a -. — rascal , " and raised his crutab . ; a
centieman m the room took my part . He said he would knock my brains out with bis crutch . He raised it up at the same time . He was near enough to strike me with his crutch , but there waa more between him and me . Two or three persons spoke to me and I was shoved away . A policeman was there I don't know his name . Nothing more occurred . I am in bodily fear , I crave sureties , and call upon the magistrates to protect me . Mr . Owen was proceeding to cross-examine tho witness , as to certain acts alleged to have been committed by him , when Mr . Phelps said he objected to such questions being asked , and directed the witness not to answer them .
Mr . Owen-May I not ask him whether he was charged with murder « Mr . Phelps—No man is bound to answer such questions . A prosecution will be commenced against certain parties , who have charged him with such a crime . Witness cross-examined by Mr . Owen—I was merry last night . I was not drunk . I can recollect all that I drank . Allen was also merry . Prisoner—The witness was so drunk that he was roliing about the floor . Mr . Evans , police constable , sworn—I was guarding the witness Firman , on last night . He waa
tipsy . The prisoner and he had- some words , but the prisoner did not raise his orutch to him . I heard words uttered to the same effect as those with which Allen is charged as having used . Firman did not threaten the prisoner . 1 think I waa in the room all the time . I put Firman to bed . Allen-r-He kicked me uader the table , and I said if he kicked me again , I would strike him with my crutch . By Mr . Phelps—I ( Htons ) did not hear anything said about the judge or , jory >

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHEBIt STAH . Sib , —I beg leave to say that there has been no unnecessary delay on my part , nor a portion of the committee that I have acted with in this matter , or any other , for we intended the balanco sheet herewith to have been sent on the 1 st instant , as we spent four hours that day for this purpose , and was promised by Mr . Carlile that it should be sent that afternoon to the Slar , after handing him the whole of the monies I had in my . possession , which was immediately given to M r . Heywood , in order to be forwarded to Mr . O'Connor , at Monmouth , although there is no mention of it in his letter .
I was not a little surprised in looking over the Star of last Saturday , in seeing a letter from Mr . Heywood , couched iu language calculated to throw great odium upon those that have taken an active part in this affair , which appears to me uncalled for , as it must be evident to any observing mind , that this hasty way of proceeding has been the chief cause of making dissensions among Radical Reformers , when this unpleasantness might be avoided by endoavouring to see the parties , when it can be done with bo little trouble . Hoping he will be a little cautions in future in giving unnecessary pain , as all my political books in regard to account * are open at any time for the inspection of any subscriber , though they have been examined by the committee .

CLOSE OF THE BPECXAL COMXfflSSIOlC AT MONMOUTH . CLOSE OF THE BPECIAl . COBOPSSIOM ¦
Monmouth , Thursday Evening . Immediately upon the sentence being passed upon Frost , Williams , and Jones , and upon those prisoners who had pleaded guilty of high treason , the proceedings appeared suddenly to have lost all their interest . A few trials for the minor offences of conspiracy and Hot took place in the course of the day , but the excitement of the public mind seemed to be suddenly relaxed , and the eases of the inferior offenders attracted little or no attention . Several of the prisoners have traversed to the next assizes , but the hurried termination of some of the cases , and the abandonment of others , has excited a good deal of surprise , and speculation . The court biroke up betweetiTseven and eight o ' clock .
