THE CONVICT JARVEY.
We understand that the convict Jarvey bus been buoying himself up with the hope of a reprieve, and has urged some of his friends to take steps for petitioning the Governor on his behalf, although those who huve visited him have used every effort to convince him of the utter hopelessnes of any such attempt to interfere with his sentence. During the last day or two, he has been excessively dejected, and apparently inclined to reconcile himself to the impossibility of escaping the fulfilment of his sentence. He has been attended by the Rev. Mr. Connebee and other ministers of religion, but the vain confidence of the criminal that his life will bo spared has, it is stated, deprived their ministrations of any desirable influence. Ik is, however, the opinion of those most intimate with him, that the prisoner will make a confession of his guilt.— Dunedin Stw. x .
