! . Private Correspondence of William Cowper, Esy. with several of his most intimate Friends. Nowfirst pub lished from the Originals. 2 vols. Bvo. Those who admire the works of the poet Cowper— mad who that has read them, and possesses a mind en dowed with the smallest portion of sensibility, does not admire them—will acknowledge themselves indebted to his kinsman, the Rev. John Johnson, LLD. for a rich treat conveyed to them in these volumes. Mr. Hayley, in his Life of Cowper, has given the public much of his epistolary correspondence ; but for some reason or other has excluded his letters on reli gion, addressed to the Rev. John Newton and the Rev. William Bull. This was done, perhaps, as suggested by Dr. Johnson, his kinsman and Editor, out of tender-' ness to the feelings of the Reader—being often of a desponding cast; but without some specimens of this kind, it is impossible to conceive a true portrait of the amiable Cowper's mind. The columns of a Newspaper are too limited to allow a sufficiency of extracts, from epistolary volumes, to convey a correct idea of their merits ; we cannot, however, entirely avoid giving a specimen, from a letfer addressed to Mr. Newton, partaking of that tone to which we have alluded. Speaking of a Clergyman who had preached at Olney, he says : 1 ' I should have been glad to have been a hearer ; but that privilege is not allowed me yet. Indeed, since I told you that I had hope, I have never ceased to despair; and have re pented that I made my boast so soon, more than once. A King may forbid a man to appear before him, and it were strange if the KING of Kings might not do the same. I know it to be his will that I should not enter into his presence now ; when the prohibition is taken off I shall enter; but in the meantime I should neither please HIM, nor serve myself by intruding." Further Extracts from the Secret Memoirs of the Court of Louis XIV. Of the King's Mistresses the Duchess of Orleans gives many entertaining anecdotes, but we shall confine our notice to Madame de Maintenon : " The marriage of Louis XIV. with old Maintenon proves how impossible it is to escape one's fate. The King said one day to the Duke de Crequi and to M. de la Rochefoucauld, long before he knew Mrs. Scarron, 4 l am convinced that astrology is false: I had my na tivity cast in Italy, and I was told that, after living to an advanced age, I should be in love with an old to the last moment of my existence. I do not think there is any great likelihood of that.' He laughed most heartily as he said this ; and yet the thing has taken place. " Before she got into power, the Church of France was very reasonable; but she spoiled everything, by encouraging such follies and superstitions as the rosaries and other things. When any reasonable men appeared, the old woman and the confessor had them banished or imprisoned. These two persons were the causes of all the persecutions which the Lutherans, and those of the reformed religion, underwent in France. Pere la Chaise, with his long ears, began the worthy enterprise, and Pea Le Tellier completed it; France was thus ruined in every way. 44 All the mistresses the King had did not tarnisirhis reputation so much as the old woman he married ; fi om her proceeded all the calamities which have since be fallen France. It was she who excited the persecution against the Protestants, invented the heavy taxes which raised the price of grain so high, and caused the scar- City. She helped the Ministers to rub the King; by means of the Constitution she hastened his death ; she brought about my son's man iage ; she wanted to place bastards upon the throne; in short, she ruined and con fused everything. "My son made me laugh the other day. I asked bins how Madame de Maintenon was. Wonderfully well: he replied. That is surprising at her age,' I said.— ' . Yes; he rejoined, ' but do you not know that Gov has, by way of punishing the devil, downed him to exist a certain number of years in that ugly body r Among the tolloaing anecdotes some will be found rather amusing " Some horiible hooks had been written against Car dinal Mazarin, with which he pretended to be very Much enraged, and had all the Copies bought up to be burnt.. When he had collected them all, he caused them to be sold in secret, and, as if it were unknown to him, by which contrivance he gained 10,060 crowns. He used to laugh and say, The French are delightful people ;,1 let them sing and laugh, and they let me do what I " " Lade Gordon, the grand-aunt of Lord Huntley, was my elusai-dqtour for a considerable period. She was a singular person, and always plunged into reve ries. One evening when I wanted my head-dress, to go to Court, she took off her gloves and threw them in my face, putting on my head-dress at the same time with great gravity. When she was speaking to a man she had a habit of playing with the buttons of his waistcoat ; having one day some occasion to talk to the Chevalier Buveon, a Captain in the late Monsieur's guard, and he beipg a very tall man, she could only reach his waist band, which she began to unbutton. The poor Gentle man'was quite horror-stricken, and started back, cry ins, For heaven's sake, Madam! what are you going to der This accident caused a great laugh in the Saloon of St. Cloud." it They say that Lord Peterborough, speaking of the two Kings of Spain, said, what fools we are to cut each other's throats for two such apes.'" di The Abbess of Maubuisson, Louise Hollandine*, daughter of Frederic V. Elector Palatine of the days of Henri IV. had had so many illegitimate children, that she commonly swore by her body, which had borne fourteen children." " The Cardinal de Richelieu, notwithstanding his wit, had often fits of distraction. Sometimes he would fancy himself .a horse, and run jumping about a billiard table, neighing and snorting; this would last an hour, at the end of 'which his people would put him to bed, and cover him up closely, to induce perspiration: when he awoke the fit had passed and did not appear again."

One day, while she was at church, Branca, forgot that the Queen was kneeling before him, for as her back was very round, her head could hardly be sees when she hung it down. He took her for a prie•diest, and knelt down upon her, putting his elbows upon her shoulders. The Queen was of course not a little sur prised to find her chevalier gthonneur upon her back, and all the bystanders were ready to die with laughing." " The late Madame de Nemours had charitably brought up a poor child. When the child was about nine years old, she said to her benefactress, Madame, no one can be more grateful for your cliarity than I am, and I cannot acknowledge it better than by telling every body I am your daughter ; but do not be alarmed, I will not say that I am your lawful child, only your il legitimate daughter." H UST'S CO N FESSION. (Concluded from the STAR of Monday last.) The next morning (Saturday), es soon as it was suffi ciently light, I went with John Thurtell to the lane to look for the pistol and penknife; but we were unable to make any very particular search, because some la bourers were near the spot, employed in repairing the road. We, however, saw a great quantity of blood at the place where John Thurtell said he had cut Mr. Weare's throat. Thurtell, in order to account for our being there, and also for the blood, if they should dis- • cover it, pretended to the labourers that we had been upset there over night in the gig. About eight o'clock Probert came down stairs, and we told him we had been looking in the lane for the lost things, but could not find them ; and he promised, after. breakfast, to take the dogs, and go to look aft r them. In the course of the morning he took us round to the shrubbery, and pointed'out a spot where he thought it would be best to bury the body; because, as he said, it was very much hid by the shrubs and trees; and he desired us.to bring down a new spade from town, as he had not one that was fit for use; and he said that he would assist at dig ging in the night time, because he understood it better than us ; and he said—" I will not leave here until every thing is safely stowed away." After we had breakfasted, Probert put the bag, the box, and the gun, into the chaise, and John Thurtell and me went to London. On reaching Oxford-street, John Thurtell got down, saying he would go the back streets to Tetsall's, for fear he should meet Upson, who had the warrant against him for the Fire Office prose cution ; and he desired me to take all the things home to my lodgings, and return the horse and chaise, and then join him at Tetsall's. According to these directions, I called at my lodgings, and left the articles I have de scribed; and I also secreted under the bed the drab great coat which Thurtell wore when he committed the murder, and which was a good deal stained with blood: and after taking home the horse and chaise, I went to Tetsall's, where I found the two Thurtells. Froin the conversation that passed I found that John had commu nicated everything to his brother ; and in my presence he told him that we were going down again for the purpose of burying the body. After a little time John gave me a duplicate, and one of the M. notes which he had retained, to go to Mr. Gray's, a pawnbroker, in Fleet -street, to redeem a suit of clothes which he had in pawn there ; and I paid the same note in the name of Price, .to the pawnbroker, who wrote that name on the bade of the note. The things came to 31.85. and I rook them and the change to Thurtell. ' Some time after my return with the clothes, John took Mr. Weare's watch out of his pocket, and Thomas said to John, "You ought to make me a present of the watch, because you got those clothes by means of one of my bills ;" and he several times afterwards proposed to buy the watch. In the course of the afternoon lIA ent with John Thurtell to an ironmonger's in Warwick. street, Golden-square, to buy a spade. We both went into a warehouse sup stairs ; John Thurtell selected and paid for one, and I took it by his desire to my lodgings until the next morning, when we were to take it down to Lull ' s IJill. Sunday morning I again got the horse and chaise for John Thuttell and me, to go down to the cottage, and the spade 'WAS put into the chaise. On the road we overtook • and_ John got out of the gig to let his brother ride. on arriving at the cottage • • threw the spade over the hedge into the field ? arid Wm. Probert afterwards .vent and fetched it from thence; and again .pointed bat the place where the body should be buried ; and in the course of the morning, while walking in the garden, JOhn Thurtell told his brother, , in my pre sence, where the body was secreted. He pointed to the place in the pond, and said, " Therelays the N—y thief, safe enough, who robbed me of 1:300 and would not lend me five pounds ; that's the • way all such b —s should be served ; and it will not be long be fore we have Holding there. ' • laughed, and said it was a famous place for the purpose, because there was no other house hear. While we were near the pond, John Thurtell said to Probert, " If you do the thing that is right, Bill,.this is how I will serve the man you want cut of the way. • Bankruptcy, I mean. You know Holding, don't you, Bill?" "Nes," said Pro , bert, " too well." " Then," said John Thurtell, " you understand what I intend doing."—"'Yes, yes," said Probert, " I know well enough, we will have him for another tarn." _ _ In the course of the afternoon, Probert went to Mr. Nicholls, and was.absent abbut two hours. On his re 4 turn he appeared greatly agitated ; he called me into the garden, and told me he had been'much alarmed, in consequence of his having seen two or threiGentleMen at Mr. Nicholls's, oue Of,whoin told him that he had heard the report of a pistol about eight d'ilock on Fri day night; that another man had said he heard two pis tols; and Mr. Nicholls said a report was raised that dreadful groans had been heard, - and some one calling out for help, and saying, " Oh !John, for Gods sake spare me, and I'll giie you all the money I've robbed you of." That at the time this was ment iohed, he, Pro bert, had a glass of gin and water in his hand, Whidh, with his great fright and' trembling, shook - very much, and he was so agitated that he thought he Should have dropped, and be had no doubt he . lbould . actually have w fallen if he had not sat down ; and he art very much afraid lest his agitation, should have hien discovered. Whilst Probert was relating this to me, John Thurtell came out, and Probert . tepeated it to hints, and added, that Mr. Nicholls hid talked of driggiffg the pond for large fish, and said, of.course, it this is done; the body will be found. John Thurtell appeared alarmed at this information, and said—" Then I'm done.* We eon. suited on the best steps to be taken; and in the cow se of conversation, John said ; as he had brought down a spade, he would, in the course of the night, itncleavenr to dig a hole to bury the body. The next; morntngrlohti Thurtell shewed me, Probert, and hit brother Thomas, where he had commenced digging the bole, but said he found he had not sufficient strength to complete it, and bad therefore filled it up again ; and it was arranged that the body should be removed that same night to some spot where it could be concealed. After what had passed at Mr. Nicholls's, we all be came very much afraid that some stir would be made in the business; and in order to prevent the boy from being questioned, or giving any information as to what he bad seen or observed, it was determined to take him to London. And on the Sunday night it was settled, that the boy should go up in the chaise with me and Thomas Thurtell, in order that one of the Thurtell's might get him a place in London. On the Monday morning, John Thurtell told his bro ther, Probert, and myself, that he had been endeavour ing to dig a hole for the body, but finding the task too laborious, he had given it up. He shewed us where he had made the attempt, and the earth appeared to have been newly disturbed. Several plans were then talked of for disposing of the body. • • sug gested, that it would be a safe way to get rid of it, to cut off the head and bury it, and bring the body to the house in Manchester-buildings, and secrete it there until a convenient opportunity occurred of throwing it into the Thames ; arid then, if it floated, no one would be able to recognise it : and this plan, I understood, was to be adopted. According to the arrangement which had been made overnight, the boy came up to London, on the Monday morning, with • • and me, in Probert's gig ; and as the lad was with us, nothing particular passed, except, when we were passing over a small bridge, near Edgware, • • , pointing to the water, said; 4 4 This would not be a bad place." At another time lie said, " we might find some difficulty to get rid of the job ; but it was well planned to leave the big one (meaning Probert) at home." e a • quitted the chaise at the corner of Maddox -street, and sent me on to his attorney, in Cle ment's Inn, to inquire if the bail had been accepted. I went there, but the attorney was not within; and, on my going to Tetsall's, I found Thomas Thurtell there, reading the newspaper. Re then sent me to my mo ther's, whose name had been given as one of their bail, to ask if any inquiries had been made there. On see ing my mother, she was displeased at her name being used, because she knew nothing of the Thurtells, and said she would decline becoming bail. Just after I came out of my mother's, I met John Thurtell, Miss Ann Noyes, and Thomas Noyes, in the gig I had hired at Charing-cross ; and John Thurtell left the gig he was in, and joined me, and we rode together as far as Ox ford -street, when he got out to go to Tetsall's. I took the chaise to the end of Conduit -street, where Tetsall's man took it from me ; and Mr. Noyes having come up with the hired chaise and horse, I received it from him, and took it home. lat the same time ordered another horse and chaise to be ready for me the same afternoon, at three o'clock, and then returned to Tetsall's. l'h Lion there, mr horn, the ref, The two Thurtells, Noyes, Ennison, and myself,dined at Tetsall's; and at three o'clock Thomas said to his brother, "John, you h. 41.1 better go down and tell Pro bert that Hunt's mother has declined being bail, so that he may get another." John, who understood what was meant, replied, " Very well ; Hunt, you . go and get the horse and chaise again, and we will ride down. " And he directed me to drive to Tyburn -gate, and there wait for him. P. Gi at It was nearly six o'clock before J. Thurtell joined me; he was dressed in a great coat, and trowsers over his breeches, which I had never before seen him wear. On reaching Elstree we stopped at Field's for nearly an hour, and then went on to the cottage. On seeing Probert he expressed considerable fear of a discovery, and begged that the body might be re moved as early as possible that night from his pre. mises ; and he stated his determination, in consequence of the repot is in the neighbourhood, to leave the cottage entirely,•with his family, on the following Thursday. Probert suggested the propriety of cutting all the clothes off :he deceased, so as to prevent his being iden tified ; and he undertook to tend or cut them into small shreclq, and distribute them in such a manner as that they Could never be put together again or be known. Between twelve and one o'clock, Probert and John Thurtell left me with the females, while they, under pretence of getting the horse harnessed and chaise ready, took the body from the pond and cut off the clothes. Probert took out with him a white-handled knife for the pUrpose. After they had been out some time, Probert came in and told me the chaise was all ready, and that Thortell was waiting for me. I then took leave•of Probert and his family, and on joining John Thurtell, perceived the dead body, inclosed in a sack, laying in front of the gig. .We went on with it to the pond near Elstree, and there threw it in. That pond I understood was selected because it contained several feet in depth of soft mud, into which the body would sink, and there . was therefore no danger of its being discovered. We then came together to Coventry -street, where I put him down, and after returning the horse and chaise to the place from whence it was hired, I went to my own lodgings. On Tuesday forenoon I , joined the Thurtells at Tet sail's ; and about three o clock Probert's chaise was brought there, and Thomas Thurtell desired me to go down to Prebert to arrange about bringing up his children the next morning. I accordingly went, but happening to stop at Field's in my way down,-I heard some people talking about a woman having been found drosimed in a pond; and suspecting it might be Weare's body 'that • had been discovered, I became greatly alarmed; and instead of going on to Gill's Hill Cottage, I returned directly to town to the Thurtells, and told theni what I bad heard, and my fears that something was wrong ; on which John was as much frightened as myself, and he said to his brother, " You had better go down, Tom, and inquire the particalars, sand you scan do it with safety, because no ono knows you." !Thomas Thurtell accordingly went down almost directly, with the same horse and gig, and that was the way he hap pened to be at Probert's when the officers wentthere that night and apprehended him. All the things belonging to Mr.Weare had been taken to my lodgings, until John Thurtell should have an op portenity of taking them to some•tnan in the City, whom he said he knew would buy them; but as there was •now some danger-of' suspicion falling on us, and a pro bability of a search being made at our lodgings, it was determined to get rid tat anything that was likely to be identifed;.and also to retriove , the marks of• blood from . the eat coat which had been worn by John Thurtell, .
