prisoner was indicted, not only lo- se
,. MKtnßng and carrying off au heiress, which was
penalty by the law of England in that
' bftt also, for that of robbing the lady o: her
jdfwatch,- five hundred pouncs in
f • fr' money; winch he induced her to draw front her
fcthcr’s banker iu London. All these charges
were sworn to by a band of miscreants hi his
lord Hud's pay; even the lady’s own waiting
marcQPhe testimony against him, while letters
aiiilSfrDit seduction, with his name signed,
• . oner* artfully forged, and produced in court, to
■’ convict the unfortunate young man. At this
1 ’ critical moment little hope appeared for the life
JT^ f )oor O’Reilly. The corrupt jury were hound
■ i,o convict him, while the judge himself, an
w.enemy to the Catholic religion, (of which tho
prisoner was a member,) was too wlilng to
ratify the enraged father, by passing sentence
*t H of death upon hitu. No witness appeared for
the prisoner. He had only the prayers and the
sympathy of the. common people, while all the
aristocracy of the land were for haring him
bung.
Counsellor Costello, for the defense, moved
that the Lady Jane be brought into eourt, to
testify to these charges of robbery, but her fa
ther declared her partially insane, and there
fore unfit to give testimony. After some legal
discussion, it was finally agreed to send two
Able physicians to inquira iuto her mcutal state,
.Mid a magistrate to take her deposition iu case
she was sane but unable to appear in person.
The deputation returned, declaring her perfect
ly rational, but bo exhausted from physical de
bility, and a sense of shnme from her late folly,
that -the could not possibly appear in public.
Site had, however, sworn to a statement, which
the magistrate eonld then lay before his lord
ship, aud the gentlemen of the jury. This affi
davit was read in court, and went to criminate
the prisoner in everything before sworn to re
specting the robbery, only it concluded with a
prayer of the lady, that the life of O’Reilly might
be spared on her account, as Bhe could not en
dure the thought of having him executed. This
testimony capped the climax, and the counsel
for the defense sat down in despair. But, just
then, a bustle was heard in tho court, as if some
person of distinction wore approaching. The
throng of common people assembled to witness
the trial fell back to make way ; the military
doing police duty, opened their ranks, and a
*• slight female figure, closely veiled and envel
oped in a long green mantle, swept gracefully
into eourt, and mounted the witness stand.
Every voice was instantly hushed, aud all eyes
turned upon her, as if she had been a spirit
(suddenly conjured up from the dead.
“My God ! my daughter, Lady Jane !” gasp
ed the father, turning ashy pale, supposing that
his nefarious plot to hang the prisoner had been
defeated.
“Yes, my Lord Judge, and gentlemen of the
jury, ’tie so; Jane Follard, or plain Mrs. O’Reilly
herself iu conrt, to save the life of her husband;”
and throwing back her long veil, and fixing her
keen eye on the Judge, she spoke In a voice
clear and musical as the note of a trumpet.
“My Lord, and gentlemen—suspecting treach
ery on tho part of the delegation, who are of
this banditti headed by my noble father, I have
assumed courage to appear in court and give
my own testimony. I wait to be sworn.”
“ She’s mad !” spoke her father, rushing to
the witness stand, and crying, “ Assist me to
convey her to her carriage ; 1 shall myself ac
company her home.”
“We have4ho sworn testimony of two com
petent physicians that the lady is quite sane,”
spoke the counsel for the defense “ and there
fore the court cannot refuse her testimony.”
“ The formality of swearing the lady can be
dispensed with,” said the judge. “ Lady, what
have you got to testify, for or against the pris
oner at the bar, Whom, you will please turn and
look on ?”
She did so, with a heart and a will, crying
“ Dearest Willie, behold your Oolleen bawn iu
court to save your life, or go with you to the
scaffold or into banishment.” And then lol
lowed a speech of half an hour’s duration,
which tore to pieces all the perjured statements
made by the base hirelings of her father.—
Every heart not steeled by bigotry was moved
to pity, every eye suffused with tears—even the
etern judge himself affested concern and
quailed before the logic of the noble girl. But
it was all of no avail. No sooner had the lady
been forcibly removed from the green table,
than the jury, without the formality of beiug
charged, brought in their verdict of “guilty I”
and the unfortunate young man was, in one
hour after, sentenced to transportation for life.
I shall only add that the .poor lady, in less
. than a month) became a raving maniac, and
I her days in Bedlam. The cruel
Tatlier removed to Italy, and, it is said, soon
filled fMiiad man's grave.
And now ruy song, which I give verbatim
from an old ballad I heard sung, with a sweet
plaintive air, when I was but a child:
“ Now rise np, Willie Bei'ly, love,
And come alone with me,
To freedom’s land beyond the seas,
Together let us flee 1
I’ll quit my father’s noble house,
My title I’ll disown,
No Lady Jane I’ll more be call’d,
But Willie's Colleon bawn.”
O’er rocky hills, and mountains high,
The lovers took their flight,
Through tangled woods and meadows green,
ajgfj- Though starless dark the night;
Fleet horsemen follow’d after then},
And ere the morning dawn,
W Arifesß-d was O’Reilly and
His dearest Colleen'bawn.
The lady .Jane was carried hack
And in her reom confin’d,
To struggle with a broken heart,
And love-distracted mind—
The live-long night in solitude
’Twas sad to hear her moan,
Crying hasten here, my Willie, dear,
And freo your Colleen bawn.
O'Reilly was to pi Ison brought,
And in a dungeon chain’d,
A Jury pack’d to try his case,
When at the bar arraigned,
Transported to the colonies,
To end his days alone,
For nothing but the stealing of
His dearest Colleen bawn.
Her ladyship in Bedlam died,
Where she had been removed,
When all to saTe her precious life
Had ineffectual prov'd.
And now in Oak wood cemetery,
Beneath a marble stone,
Sleeps I.ady .lane the beautiful,
O’Reilly’s Colleen bawn.
Poor Willo found a convict’s grave,
In wretched Botany Bay, „
From the fond dustthat lov'd him once,
Ten thousand miles away ;
When nine long years of wearied life
To him were past and gone,
In Heaven ho met his Lady Jane,
His dearest Colleen bawn.
(.no luiuinup cijuug a Ola Ireland
For classic Italy.
In wine to drown his late disgrace,
And his daughter’s memory.
But when the prestigo of his name
Is to oblivion gone,
The peasant’s song will ever be,

WSTHBRSFIBLD, Coxx.
Noth.— Tho numerous ballads composed on
O’Reilly’s Colleen bawn were mng at the fairs and
raaraets in Ireland for ten or fifteen years after the
lady was in her grave. Perhaps this is the only one
now in existence.
The Lecture of Admiral Semmes.
Tho Galveston News, of the sth, gives an in
teresting account of the lecture of Admiral
Homines on the “ Equipment and ‘Captures of
the Alabama,” delivered in that city on the
evening of the 4th instant. We quote a few
passages:
Tho fame of the Alabama, ho said, derived
nothing from her commander. She was marked
as beiug the first large steamship over employed
in a war against a commercial people. Her
fame was the fame of steam. Commerce and
gold were the great sinews of war. The Con
federates failed for the waut of them. But in
their depredations upon the commerce of the
United States, by means of the Alabama, they
had violated no law of nations, and were sup
ported by the precedents of American history
ajjd decision. We cannot follow the lecturer
through Ilia proofs of this position ; but it
would bo unjust not to say that their remark
able appositeness aud conclusiveness gave live
ly interest to what would have beeu otherwise
a comparatively dry theme. The belligerent
character of the Confederate Suites was fully
established, and the right'of belligerents to get
ships of war and fit them out where they
pleased, was abundantly sustained. A ship of
war was a personification, deriving her ctiarac-’
ter from her commission and not from her An
tecedents. But the Alabama had mucli better
antecedents than the American mclii-of-war (nol
pirate ships) which Benjamin Franklin and
Silas JJeaue had-armed, equipped and Planned
-in the French ports daring the revolutionary
war. The Ron lldrome Richard, on which Paul
Jones Immortalized himself and the American
navy, was much less clear iu antecedents than
the Alabama, aud had a crew composed of ten
or twelve different nationalities, including the
Malay. The cases of the Surprise, the Re
i. Ifttiwre, aud others, were also quoted.
Among the “ hits ” was o.i;c against Minister
'Adams, who intends dying sorrowful unless he
can make out the Alabama to have been a
“pirate,’’and get up a trouble with John Bull
on her accouut—and yet he is the grandson of
the same John Adams, who, on a mission to
Europe, as recorded iu the standard history of
America, pocketed and was comforted by the
proceeds of prizes captured by vessels indebted
to neutral ports tenfold more than the Alabama
can be proven to have been.
The Alabama left Birkenhead as a ynerchant
ship, ana •.•seivert her armor on the high seas,
where her commission was first read, and her
flag unfurled. Shu was followed through all
her history and doings, aud justified in every
act from her first movement to the burning of
her last prize, not by obscuro or unknown au
thorities, but by the universally recognized
lights of history aud law.
She now sleeps, said the Admiral, beneath
the waters of the British Chanel, as her com
mander hopes to sleep, after a while, beneath
his native soil. Her justification was due to
the great struggle of which she formed a part—
it was due American history, which, after a
while would kuow, seetionally, no North or
South—as the deeds of Confederate command
ers and soldiers, and the deeds of Federal
armies and their leaders—where honor and sin
cerity marked the record—would alike form a
part of the annals of the whole country.
#'** * * *
Altogether, the lecture was a remarkable ef
fort, not only in the brilliancy and conclusive
ness of the points made, but in certain sustain
ed and impressive, t hough fearless, exhibit ions
of the importance of h story, which was re
sponded to by a voice rising above the hearty
cheering at tho close, and giving the hearer’s
conviction that the lecture would prove to be
“ a beacon light to the future historian.”

The Case of Surratt.
[Prom the Albany (N. Y.) Arses.
The alleged arrest and escape of Surratt,
though of doubtful authenticity, revives the re
collection of the crime iu which he was alleged
to have been engaged, and of the trial in which
his accused associates suffered. The manner in
which the pursuit.of Booth was conducted, his
death, the trials and the executions, all tended
to obscure the facts of the conspiracy, and to
throw doubts upon the parties to it. ' The re
eent discovery of the perjuries and deceptions
of Conover, Montgomery, and others, has in
fused a new element of doubt Into the story.
This skepticism has so pervaded the public
mind that the death of the chief assassin is
dou’it: d, and there is a vague belief prevalent
in many quarters that Booth still lives! Tho
immense rewards offered for his eouvietion
shake the credibility of testimony, and the fact
that Corbett, who shot him, was rewarded,
when every public interest required him to be
taken alive, confuses the public mind. Speak
ing of the conspiracy, the Boston Advertiser
says that “though the most acute legal minds
have been employed to sift it to the bottom, it
is to-day wrapped in as close aud unfathomable
mystery as covers any similar spot in the dim
ness ol the middle ages. The extent of the
general ignorance about it may well be gauged
by the fact that of the two well known gcutle
men who were put in charge of the case by the
Government, aud studied it long and closely,
one still dcelarcstliat Jefferson Davis was the
chief conspirator, while the other stakes his ,
reputation on the shocking and incredible accu
sation that the present President of the United
States was an accomplice in the plot.
That paper proposes, if Surratt falls into our
hands, to “ offer him his life, his liberty, or any
other price whieh might be sufficient to secure
it, to obtain from his lips the information which
will shed the light of day upon the most diffi
cult as well as the most interesting criminal
mystery ol time.” But who is to believe testi
mony thus purchased ? The malice that
prompted and paid for the accusation against
Davis might now rejoice to direct it against
Johnson—and it is evident, from the Advertis
er's own showing, that there are men eager to
involve the President in this or any other
blaekening aecusation.
Speaking of one of the victims of the military
law, the Springfield Republican says that “ It Is
the general opinion of lawyers who have stud ed
the evidence that nothing at all was proved
against Spangler. If the accusod had been tried
before a jury,. as the Constitution requires, there
would have been no such painful doubts ns
now exist as to the justice of the .awards ren
dered. The mischief may in part be remedied
by a new and legal trial of those who survive,
and if this is granted in Spangler’* case, as it
clearly should be, it may also be granted to
others, and doubtless will be, if the facts elicit
ed by the new trial of Spangler shall seem to
require it.”
It is a pity if this story of the capture of Sur
ratt should turn out to be false. It might afford
an opportunity for the reparation of some great
wrongs, and throw light upon some dark pas
sages iu our history.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Marsden’s Family Medicines
Have become a household word in almost every family
from the extreme North to the tropica. It haa surprised
many why they have proved ao successful. Tho reason is
that they are not euro-alls for every disease known to suf
fering hamanity, but specific remedies for the various
complaints which they are recommended for. These pre
parations are compounded with great care from the active
principle of drills lon# and favorably known for their
remedial, -effects in thfluJiseases which experience baa
proved to be beuefitted by their use. Being prepared ip
large quantities, under my immediate supervision,
anteos to the patient a uniformity in strength and a cer
tainty in effect—an advantage which the skillful pharma
ceutist can readily appreciate.
Pectoral Balm
Has proved so successful in alleviating: and curing Coughs,
Colds, Influenza, Asthma, Croup, Consumption, and all
Bronchial Diseases, that it is now adopted by many of our
most eminent physicians as the’ most- valuable expecto
rant known.
Caiisaya Tonic
In all cases of Debility, Loss of Appetite and Dyspepsia,
will be found invaluable, giving tone and strength to the
system. As an Alterative it has proved very efficacious,
removing Blotches, Eruptions, Scrofula, and all impuri
ties of tho blood.
Carminative Syrup >
Is now recognized by all who have tried it, afethe most
reliable preparation that can be used in cases of Diarrhoea,
Dysentery, Flux or Cholera. Tho past season has added
additional testimony to ts already established reputa
tion—it never having failed to relievo and cure all the
above diseases.
Rave become so well known te all sufferers from Consti
pation, Billions Disorders, Nervous or Sick Headache,
Gout, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, &c., tlißt comment on
thoir virtuos would seem superfluous.
Extract Ginger
Is nothing more chan a pure and concentrated extract ol
the choicost Jamaica Ginger Root, prepared by a process
which extracts all the medicinal virtues retaining its aro
ma. It will be found efficacious in Dyspepsia, Langour,
Nervousness, and Indigestion.
Pure Cod Liver Oil.
Tho great difficulty in obtaining a pure and reliable Oil
has induced mo to select and offer this as being strictly
pure, not a fistitieus or manufactured article. Physicians
and patients will find this article can be relied on in all
cases of Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Scroful
