HERTFORD, JAN. 8. • After their retttrn to the prison last night the pri , loners .were taken to the kitchen, their handcuffs were taken off, they were then heavily ironed, and were after wards supplied with tea and bread and butter, of yhich each partook heartily. Hunt was conveyed to his cell, and almost immediately after went to bed and fell asleep ;he rose this morning at seven o'clock. - Two women,, who have been in this town since. the, beginning of December, merely from motives iaf curio sity, applied at the gaol to see Thurtell and Hnnt ; they were of course refused admission ; indeed the orders of the High Sheriff and Magistrates on this point are im perative* and make no exception ; even Mr. Jay, Thur. tell's Solicitor, was denied an interview with his late un happy and guilty client this morning. He immediately after left town for Cambridge. Some absurd reports were circulated yesterday even ing that an,attempt to set the prisoner Thurtell at liberty would be made. Although totally incredulous on this head, the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, and other Magistrates, deemed it their duty to take every precaution, and in consequence ordered a dozen additional constables on duty; it is hardly necessary to state that no attempt was made upon the prison, nir was the public peace in the slightest degree disturbed, except by the executioner, who arrived from London in the course of the day, bringing with him the implements of his horrible avo cation. This fellow havinY been made quite drunk, got into a fight, and exhibited the mode of performing the dreadful duty which occasionally devolves on him, for the amusement of certain bystanders: In the scuffle which he afterwards got into, the ropes, &c. which he had brought with him were lost. Fortunately firr him, per haps, the Rev. T. Lloyd heard of his conduct, anti the i tuation to which he had reduced himself, arid caused him to be taken into custody and lodged in the prison, where he has since remained; On his arrival at thi gaol last night, John Timm.ll appeared exhausted and sad ; but nevertheless perfectly collected. His brother Thomas Thurtell was shortly alter introduced to him. The• interview hetween the brothers was exceedingly affecting. John Thmirrell ap peared to feel, with strong sensibility, the awfulness al his lituation. He grasped his brother by the hands, and pressed them great force and . f:n - veocy. His ex pression was, " GOD bless you, Thomas. There ate now nine of us ; by this. time to-mo' row there will he but eight !" The latter part of the sentence wits delivered in a tone in which the firm and pathetic %vete equally mingled. Thomas Thurtell wept bitterly ; and, we roast add, displayed on this and every other occasion on which we have seen him,.sinee the arrest of his unhappy and guilty brother, the mist ardent affection for him. They separated with every ex pre,sion of brotherly love min gled with intense gria: The strong frame of John Thur. tell seemed shaken for the first time—the a fardwell " which died on the lips of both brothers was touching in the eztreme to the bystanders. Stich a meeting might have been more affecting even than it was, considering ' the awful situation of the par::es; the one on the eve of an ignominious exit from life, and the other laying under the thereat of a similar fate. But -minds uhich have gone through a teties ofadrerslty and crime, arc mint expected to be open to the same impressions or the same impulses of humanity which belong to the innocent heart. Thomas Thuttell hopes to be allowed to see his brother again to-day: After having had his smipp( r, his handcuffs were again put on, and at nine o'clock lie \m conducted to his cell; where a good fire and candles had been provided for him. He shortly after retired to his bed, and lay down without taking off - his clothes, his handcuffs and irons still remaining on, he fell asleep al most immediately. Three men sat up in his cell all night, as usual. He awoke three times during the night, but fell asleep again each time in a few moments. On one of these occasions be called out," Are your there, William ?" .--(one of his attendants or guards)—the man answered in the afErmative—" That is right," raid Thurtell, " cover me with the clothes more closely." This was complied with, and he again betook himself to sepose. With these exceptions his sleep•was uncommonly sound during the whole night. About six o'clock he awoke, and arose shortly after. He sat down near the tire, and found on his table a bible, a player-book, and a volunse of religious tracts; this last book he took up and read attentively for some time; he then laid it down still open, with the intention to recommence its .perusal.— With regard. to Probert, he says he would rather suffer a thousand deaths, such as he is about to endure, than lay his head on his pillow with the reflections which that man must have. He read a fe* pages out of the trea tise of Drelincourt on Death, which, with one or two others, has been supplied through the kindness of the Rev. Mr. Franklin. Much anxiety is felt on the subject of Thurtcll's intentions as to making any disclosures which may tend towards the future peace of society. He informed one of the Bow-street police that he would make disclosures; but it is supposed that those of his friends, who are allowed acceis to him, exert all their influence to prevent his taking a step fraught, probably, with so much danger to themselves. The coarse adopted by the Rev. Chaplain is to - exhort him to do.whatever may be most likely to procure him compostife of mind fitting for the awful moment about- to arrive. He ex presses much satisfaction at seeing him so composed as he is, and resigned as to the course of all earthly con cerns. He humanely abstain, from pressing him to make any confession; but says lie is heady to receive any if he thinks proper ; that the person to whom it ought to be made is time Sheriff, but should he desire it, he would receive any cornntunication under the seal of secrecy. What has been the effect of this language has not yet transpired, farther than that the Sheriff was sent' fcr at Thartell's particular request, and remained a con ,siderable time with him in the prison. Mr. Wilsou entered the ce;l about half-past seven o'clock. Thurtell expressed much pleasure at seeing that humane and excellent officer; . and after the cus tomary salutations, and a few common-place observa tions, he said, '" What is it o'clock, Mr. Wilson ?" " Half-past seven." "Isit so late ? By this time to morrow it will be all right—l mean it will be all over." " Not so soon, Mr.Th u rtel I, I believe," observed Mr.Wil. son. "It is immaterial," said Thurtell, " I should be glad it were now .for the sooner I am putkout of my misery the better." Mr.W. was much affected. The pri soner's breakfast was then brought; it consisted of bread ' and butter and coffee, of which Thurtell heartily par took. Hunt met Thurtell in the yard this mot fling, before going to the chapel; he looked timidly at his fel , low-prisoner, and then hung down his head, apparently much distressed. Thurtell, on the contrary, bore him self wan resolute firmness, and upon seeing Hunt, gave him a haughty nod of recognition. They then passed on, and took no further notice of each other.. The re 7, • suit .cir the interview between the High Sheriff and Thur tell is supposed to be important, as he has refused_ to com • municate the particulars to 'any one_ before to-mor row. Mr. Wilson then informed him that the Chaplain desired to see him in the chapel. He expressed great. willingness to attend Divine Service, and was . conducted to the chapel about the same time with his associate, Hunt, all the other prisoners confined in the jail having been previously introduced. At half-past eight o'clock this morning, the chaplain repaired to the prison, hav ing felt it to be his duty, and in fact with the approba tion of Thurtell, to perform in the coarse of the morn ing the religious offices, to 'which, for the consolation of prisoners in his unhappy situation, the Sunday before execution is generally devoted. The day of the week not admitting the intervention of the Sunday, it was nevertheless deemed necessary to give the prisoners the benefit of this ceremony on the eve of, execution. Be sides these arid the attendants and guards no other per sons were present, with the excepton of one Gentleman, the Rev. Mr. Oven, a !elation, we believe, of the High Sheriff. As soon as the necessary arrangements were made, the Chaplain (Mr. Franklin) commenced the Ser vice. lie began with the following - Prayer, which he delivered in the most impressive manner: TIIE PRAYER. ~ir~rtir~i rr~ii~~ MEM = " Oh ! thou great and glorious Lotus GOD! Thou high and holy one, who inbabitest eternity, and despisest not the meanest of 'thy works, we humbly beseech thee to look down in compassion upon us, thy poor vile and sinful creatures, who now present our prayer s and supplications unto thee. Have mercy upon us—O Loan, have mercy upon us! According to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out all our trmsgressions, and remeni!)er our sins and iniquities no More. And do thou, in pity to our infirmities, dispose . our hearts, nod strengthen our resolutions, to serve and feas thee, the only Goo, all the dis of our lives.. " Gra.it u.s the Grace of thy Holy Spirit, that we may every day become better, and wiser unto salvation; that we may be enabled to reform and amend all that is amiss in the frame and temper of our minds, and in the course and attion of our lives; that we may it ortify our lusts, govern our passions, and direct our whole con versatton aright. Assist us mercifully, 0 Gtol), to do all that is good ;to avoid all Cult is evil ; and hually, to partakers of thy Heavenly Kingdom. " We Mouldy beseech thee, 0 Loan, to bless and preserve us, shine unaortffy servants, who are at this ti.n, assemhicil in thy name, to be present in the midst of us, and to assist us in thy Holy Service of Devotion In which we are engaged ; and gra:3, that those truths a hick shill by delivered, oat of tby Revealed Word, may have their 'lnc effect, and lasting ieflues.ce upon the hearts and con sciences, %vim the lives stn] conduct of us all. " These Prayers, 0 Heavenly Parties, we humbly offer up unto , the Thrt.ne of AlcrcV, in- the Name and through the marks told mediation of our Lord and SaviDtir Jisus Cll MST, in whose most einnprehensive form of words we slim ip all our petitions." i - hr Prayer being concluded; sitter a short and solemn pan*, the Reverend Gentleman renlarked, that this season of Advent was appointed by the thifrch, not only the advent, or tomtit, or appearance of tifiatrs CHRIST an human that, e on earth, but also to put tit antivally in mind of his second coming, that we may.prepdtte our heart, and ' • d.,. our thoughts and actions, to meet him at his second Coming tp judge the world in righ• teousoess. No subjict could be more appropriate to thii soierou and affecting season of the year, than the gene-; ral judgment by Jesus Cht nisr. • He then, in a manner which is described to us by a Gentleman present to have been the most impressive NI ever witnes s ed on any occasion, proceeded to the deliirery of the Saralee. • We understand that 'the following h-the substance of !the sermnn ; Tie text was•- g 6 For we ionst_all appear before the judgment seat of Coats?; that every one may rectise the things dune in his body according to what he bath done,. whether it be good or evil." —2il Cot inthlans, chap. v. vet se 10. The Reverend Chaplain commenced by observing that St. Paid, • in the chapter from eellich the text wss taken, commencecPby pressing his assured hope of immortality ; and in expectance of that • and of general judgment, he laboured to keep a good conscience, and to prepare himself in the pilgrimage of We for the' path of death. St. Paul was anxious to quit this earthly tabernacle for a house n,ot made with hands, and to be pre.ent with the Loan; but that, however the Alllloll2l' should dispose of hint. he should make it his constant labour and study so to coiteluer lthissetS, that burl, in woeht and at his presentation into the next, he might hope to he approved and - accepted by his Gees and that to this end his ae ; aloes were daily governed and directed. It was rather euraorili [ nar that • dsuch '• •and t e rms, aril yes or s expressed plain am e coming from such a source, had not the effect which they ought to have in the concerns of human knee The fleathen, from the force of natural reason, admitted the certainty of an hereafter, and acted upon that op' • ; but he was sorry us say that the Christian, who, in confirmation of his natural teasok, had the authority of Re velation, was often touted indifferent to the doctrines of his holy reli gion. But nos to dwell on the persuasion and belief of all Heathens and Pagans in every age and couritr y, in this respect, on the dictates of every man's natural conscience, his self-approbation of secret virtue, hi. ulf-cosideninanon of secret vice, the hopes and fears that agitate every man's breast on account of his most private ac tions, and the inmost thoughts of his heat r, evert- all, he said, so many;proufs ot his belief in a future judgment. The uncertainty of human ilk, and the inequalities of its prospects, were matter of such notoriety, that any man acquainted with the world must be asto nished bow men often di:regarded the sober truths laid down in the chapter from wie.ch this text was taken. The Reverend Chaplain then enlarged upon the inconsistency between the professed be- Uri of a Christian and his general conduct. Indeed, judging from the conduct of some Christians,' it would appear that the hope of future rewards was as inoperative as the terror of fu ture punishments. The description of everlasting torments and the ti irons of hell had been so often given, that it was not sisesssary for him now to repeat it, but he thought that the satter doctrines of reason were better calculated thaa high co louring to impress upon the mind oldie sincere Christian the neces yof acsing upon St. Paul's doctrine. 111 the second place, he said, that neither was it necessary to take an extensive view of the unequal distribution of happiness and misery in this life : how vir i tunas and holy men were often afflicted in this world, and that, too, even for righteousness' sake, and that profligate, daring, and impious mess, often flourish and prosper—they came not into ttou ble, neither were they plagued like other men; hence the justice of t Gem seemed to require that at the final consummation of all things, this seeming injustice should be rectified, and that Coo would one day fully vindicate the righteousness ot his government, ac quit the honour of his justice, and that there would be held a general assizz of all m e n that ever breathed on the face of the whole earth, when they would all have a fair and open 'trial, and Gott would render to each according to his works.— The Chaplain then enforced the truth of the divine judgment, and after making a pewerhil impression upon his auditory by the elo quence of his argument, he exclaimed " Hear the words of your liannusa--- 0 The day is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear the voice of their Judge, and shall come forth ; they that have done good, unto le resurrection of life; and they that have dune evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.' He remarked upon the astonishing indifference of some persons to the divine declaration, and the impossibility of their conducting themselves in the manner some did, were the. impressed with its truth. lie was particularly soh= and impressive in dwelling upon the profligacy and pro faneness of some who were not deterred by a sense of religion from the commission of sin, just as if eternal justice were asieep—just as if all their wicked actions would be buried with their dead bo dies, and should never rise again in judgment against their immortal souls. He contrasted with such impious indifference, the calmness, the consolation, and hope of a true Christian, who built his hope on the fundamental beef of happiness hereafter, and illustrated the value of such a hope by the practice of St. Paul, and the sere nity and piety of his life. The Chaplain then said, that It would be easy to draw a terrific' picture of the great and terrible day of judgment, bet he preferred the arguments which cooLreason sug gested, to those which terror and amazement inspired. He in voked the attention of the prisoners to,the plain and powerful expression of the Holy Scriptures. Suppose then, said he, that "you saw the Heavens opened and the Son or DIAN coming in great power and glory, and all his holy angels with him. Sup pose that you heard the mighty cherubim, in burning rows, sound jug the loud trumpet of archangels, and a mighty voice piercing the Heavens and the earth- 7 ' Arise, ye dead, and come to judgment !' Suppose you saw the Throne set, and the great JUDOS sitting upon the Duette of his Glory ; and all nations gathered before him ; and imillllllllll all the dead, both small and great, standing before Goo; th e L.,„ 44 opened, and the dead judged out of the things written lu dose huoi„. suppose you heard the respective sentences upon all mankind 11:: nounced by the mouth of CHRIST himself—' Come, ye biased of •.. • Emma, receive the kingdom prepared for you f rom the foutid,„l tion of the world!' and ' Depart from me, ye cursed, into ever) y, ing fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels !' Would not this,' continued the Rev. Chaplain," be an appalling scene, and does ne t the Gospel positively declare that it shall come to pais?" He asked then, why was not that dreadful fact operative upon human con. duct ? Why then such insensibility to human interests—why the voice of conscience—why labour to drown its cries by the ..fi and riot of worldly cares and pleasures? When the last trump, : should be sounded, and aßtnankind summonedir:o the prese nce sf the ALMIGHTY Goo, to witness the dis t ribution of final reriaidsand punishments, thetrwould the Christian who had neglected to act o s , the doctrine laid Jown in the text express unfeigned regr et — t h ee he would wish that the time which he m . :ia 'Unprofitably iu;ssia this life were again to be passed by hint, but at that hour this reg ret would be of no avail. After dwelling forcibly on this topic, th, Reverend Gentleman exclaimed—" Let this precut season ot• vent constrain us all to look carefully and steadily to our last 'glee account; and seeing now, with our own eyes, the avb Int site tacle before us, where human justice is about to vindicate the via. lition of her laws, let u. lift up our hearts to higher views, and rtase our thoughts from earth) , to heavenly subjt•ers. Let us argue thus: If the day of Goo's judgment be so dreadful at a diitance, that can hardly now bear the very thought of it, hunt the recolit•cti.:n 0: - my tins, how insopportable will the thought itself be, whs . a it col. nally does come !" Lle, in conclusion, contrasted the times of :g. norance of the heathen and the Chriatian world, and, as St. Pail said, " the ignorance of the former GOD winked at. but now at men were commanded tOrepent, because he bath appointed a day in which he will judge the world. Oh, then, at once,' said the CI a; lain, with great fervour and earnestness, " Repent !- Let the wit forsake his way, and the unrighteous man h.. thoughts; and let :•;e. turn unto theLonn,who ejll have mercy upon hint, and unto (mt . (;c:. who will abundantly par.lon, through the merits and Onus; our Loco and Savirma." He then endt•avvut,e; convince the convicts, in eloquent and impressive !angst: g of necessity of making the lust use of the few hairs still, left :o itieu:, to be prepared fur the hour of tribulation. At the conclusian the sermon, .we understand that the Reverend Chaplin turned round to the prisoners under sentence of transportation, and said, very einpNatic.•lly—." We have this day been taue.ht an 'input :44 lesson—we hdvt bean ought Ora t -.-rhe wages of tin is death.' " Repefitejly, diming the (!4livery of the sermon, of which the above only furnishes a brief and imperfect abstract, the Chaplain was affected to tears. Taunt:lt ai times evinced uncommon emotin-1 is manner was extremely penitent:but his Cortitude was s:i.l maiutatuest, and he awaits with conippsure his impending fat . Ile hopes, he says, to meet it with the. ft morn of a 'ina;i, and the resignation of a Christian. In the cool se of the service, the Chaplain read the Litany, though out of order, very property jutly s ing there were parts in it more applicable to the ease of the prisoners than occurred in the rest of the service. When the following prayer was read, Hunt ieetred 'dreadfully affected. and his head dropped‘ upon the front of the pew : rr it may please They to defend and provVe the fatherless children and widows, and all that are t. solate and oppressed." Thurtell still maintained that steady but respectful •attention and composure which have distinguished h.m during the whole of these proceedings. At the conclusion of the service, the prisoners were re condutted to their rooms, and the Chaplain followed Thurtell to his, where he had some private cons er sation, and we are happy to state, kund hint in that frarbe of .filind which, in such a situation, above all others, wq;s: t t desirable. TiSCIISR.Ve Fmr.strio, Fns r.w. It was originally, proposed to try the prisoners in iron; hit Mr. J. Sidney Taylor, the barrister, repre sented to the High S).eriff the illegality of such a pro. ceeding, and the intention was in cousequenceabandorte.'. A Meeting of the Magistfates was held this mom ing, at which the place where, and t 1 time when, sen tence shall be executed upon Thiirtell, was taken nil consideration. It was finalli resolved that the culprit should be executed at twelve o'clocle• tei marrow, ;n fiont of the centre door (which is callect tic "- Mill," or " Tread-mill-door") of the jail, and not in the held or gravel-pit, opposite the prison, where malefactors are usually executed. The workmen have been employed since half-past two o'clock in making the neceslary In eparations for the erection of a new gallows and drop. The mate' iah, which are now lying at the prlion-door, shew that it is ,intended to erect a structure of considerable height and extent. The country in the neighbourhood being, how- Ater, very level, the view of the execution will be ne cessarily restricted to those who may have strength and hardihood sufficient to force their way near the scaffold. The whole posse comitatus have been summoned to at tend on this occasion ; but, to judge from the eouduct of a portion of that body at the Court-house, they are more likely to create disorder than to repress it. Still it is the only legal disposable force which the Magistrates can command; and everybody must approve of the abandonment of an intention which, it is rumouredova; once entertained—that of calling on the Yeomanry for their assistance. The Magistrates have, with gteat pro priety, directed Bishop; Iluthven, and Upson, of the Bow-street establishment, to remain until the behests of the law have been complied with. Hunt's execution has been fixed for this day fortnight, if the application to the Crown, in behalf of the prisoner should not prove successful. Fourteen days are, we understand, allowed by law, to accessaries in cases of murder ; and therefore the High Sheriff has named the day which we have mentioned. Hunt is not aware of this circum , taire. He believes that his fate is to be •sealed in the morning, and he is preparing for death, bat in a state of great agony and exhaustion. The con trast between him and Thurtell is extreme. The latter is cool, manly, and firm, without any. intermixture of thoughtlessness or levity : the former is timid, whining, and pusillanimous. All admission to the prison for the purpose of wit nessing the proceedings to-morrow morning, has been most positively and peremptorily interdicted, except to those who are immediately connected 'with those pro ceedings. Applications from persons of rank and con sideration have been negatived in the most decided and unequivocal manner. It will be recollected that Mr. Justice Park, on Tues day mot fling, censured the conduct of Mr. Fenton, Thurtell's attorney,for not having been in Court at seven o'clock. The reproof was somewhat hasty, since it was given (without an inquiry into facts) on the supposition that Mr. Fenton had neglected his duty, which was not the case. Mr. Fenton was, at six o'clock in the morning, attending at the door appropriated to the admittance of barristers and attornies. He endeavoured, over and over again, and in those endeavours he was absolutely assisted by a banister, to gain admittance, but the door keepers effectually prevented his entrance. • In the course of the evening, the Chaplain expressed A wish (at Thurtell's desire) that Thurtell should be at:- co:rimodated with 7'he.Tiere.s newspaper, that being the paper which his father has been in the habit of reading► for the purpose of seeing the manner in which Mr..lue tice Park's commendation of his defence had bccii ic potted& It is unnecessary to state, that the request was complitti with. ~~,.:..: yc.~ " 1 111 = -
