POKTICAL ASYLUM - FAREWELL BY LORD BYRON Farewell ! if ever fondest prayer For other's weal availed on high, Mne will not all be lost in air, Bat .ift thy nime beyond the sky. I'were vain to speak, to weep, to sigh: Oh ! more thin tears of blood can tell, When wrung form guilts expiring eye, Are in that word Farewell ! Farewell !

These lips are mute, these eyes are dry, Bat in my breast, and in my brain, Aake the pangs that pass not by. The thougSitth.it ne'er shall bleep again, My soul nor deigns nor dares complain, Though grief or passion there rebel ; I only know we loved in vain I only feel Farewell ! Farewell !

Batch elor, the police constable on duty, called out to the commander of the vessel to hold for a few minutes, and instantly went on board with two ol his assistants, and after a few minutes Beard 1. they returned on shuie wiih one of the passengers in custody, who Was dressed in sailor's clothe, and pasv-d by the name of )Vm Broim. The cause of this person's appre bension was a report which had been com-nunicated to the constable that a fema'e. in a disguise, the description of which eonesponded with this per Son's attire had taken a passage for Dublin bv the Commerce which a- , wakened in his mind, not unnatural ly, a suspicion, that it was some woman who nad cither escaped from prison, or bad been engaged in some

robbery and was flinr to evade

detection, whom it was his duty

therefore to detain for examinatino before a magistrate. The diess had

b'en so minutely described, that it

Was impossible to mistake the person

not w it hs'anding the addition of at till deeper disguise of intoxication, in which the part y was found at t he time ol making the capture. When safely lodged in Bridewell and about to undergo a persona! examination by Mrs Clayton, the wile of the keeper, finding detection in e "liable, the prisoner confessed the fa f of her sex and of her disguise. I i the evening, when perfectly so b; ved. she stated her name to be Soli net Augusta Hamilton. I quirie which had been made in the interim, led to the discovery of the house in v Mich she had been lodging by the Orl D ck,and one of the constables Was engaged, in the course of the evening in conversation with the landlady for the purpose ot tracing her history, when a respectably dies St d man entered the room to whom the landlady pointed and said 3IercV the very gentleman that can tell you all about her " The gentleman in

From the account given by this

person who. we believe, was the

cause of her detention, as well as fi om

bet own statement, the following par

ti ulars of this extraordinary being

have been collected:

Her father is said to be a merchant

London and owner, wholly or in

town, who recollect having soen her at that period, when they describe her to have been a young lady of fashionable appearance, elegantly dressed, and lady like in her deport ment. On her arrival at St John's, she found that the vessel to which her lover be longed had gone to Quebec ; thither she therefore followed him, and there she learned, that he had been drowned in the passajje up the St. Lawrence. Her determination was immediately taken to become a sailor for his sake, and, doffing her woman's gear, of which she tound
