T While we were upon our trial, ',lumen treated me very distantly ; and when his brother was giving his evidence, I could not help expressing my astonishment at his attributing to me the very expressions which John Thurtell himself had used, respecting our being " Trapin Lads." I said, " Good Goo! here's work." John replied, " Yes, don't alarm yourself, you'll have more of it presently ; we have not half done with you yet." But when he afterwards, in addressing the Jury, wanted to lay the whole crime on me and Probert, I was lost in astonishment, and everything appeared enveloped in mist; but I shall never forget his horrid expression of countenance when he ;poke of Barber Beaumont and Mr. Springfield —I was really frightened to look at him. Directly as w•e left the bar, Tlittrtell addressed me in the most Iriendly and familiar manner, and, shaking me by the hand, said, It's all up, Joe; we must now make the best of it, and behave manfully. I forgive you for everything with all my heart." As we came along back in the chaise, That tell asked Mr. Wilson if - he were not to be executed in the gravel pititopposite the gaol ? Mr. Wilson answered, " he be lieved so." "'Then,' said Thurtell, " I hope you wiil have two half-hundred weights to my legs, and a good fall, so that I may die instantly." I was greatly de pressed, and begged him not to talk so. Timrtell re plied, " Don't tell me, old fellow ; what's the use of re pining ? I hope you will meet your fate like a man, as I shall do. lam prepared now, as I told the Judge, to-sight, and the sooner the business is over the letter." While we were on our way Thuttell expressed a great desire to have sonic refreshment, and addressing Mr. Wilson, said, "I hop:" you will be able to give us something to eat, for lam almost famished." Mr. Wil son that it was against the law to allow any thing but bread and water; and that a gaoler would be liable to lose his situation and forfeit a hundred pounds if he broke through the rule. .Thurtell said, " I hope, old fellow, you will manage to get some thing better than that." Mr. Wilson said be would try what he could do when he got up to the prison, and he hoped the Sheriff would not be very strict in obey ing the law. After we bad been kindly furnished with some re freshment by Mr. IVilson, I was confined in one cell and Thintell in another. Throughout the night of Wednesday I was in great distress and anguish of mind, as I fully expected that I was to suffer on the Friday morning with Thurtell ; but early in the next day, Mr. Wilson told me he be lieved I was not then to be executed. About twelve o'clock on Thursday, Mr. Wilson came to tell me that Thurtell wished me to be in the same cell with him, and I accordingly went. On entering his cell, I found him talking with Mr. Sutton, the High Sheriff, and Mr. Franklin. Mr. Sattou told me that Thurtell was per fectly reconciled to me, and wished me to be so with him ; and Thurtell came and shook hands with me, and said, " 1 do freely forgive you, Joe, but I have no one to thank for this hut you." We were together at the condemned sermon onThurs- Lhiy, and while in the pew, 1 was greatly affected. 'nulled endeavoured to sooth me, but at the same time said, " Hunt, you brought it all upon yoorself; if you had not told where the body was, there could have been no trial, arid we should have been safe." I an swei ed, It was to be so, and it cannot be helped ; and if it had not then been divulged, it must have come out at some other time." In the course cl the afternoon and evening Thurtell talked a good deal about the trial, and said to Mr. Wil son, "Il it had taken place at the Old Bailey we must both have been acquitted, for who could believe a word that Probert swore, after his stating that Hunt told him where to set him down, when it was well known that Hunt was never there in his life ; this ought to have been enough to have acquitted ns." Thurtell also said to me, " If I had known as much when the trial was first to have come on, as I do now. . I would have asked Mr. Harmer tolet you say that I was innocent, and that ) ou and Probert did the murder; and I am sure Mr. thinner would have consented, be cause, if I had been cleared, you must have been ac quitted, and Probert only would have suffered." Ile several times declared that he would not change' situations with I'roberr, because his sufferings would soon be at an end, butProbert must lead a wretched life. In the course of conversation, Tuurtell told Mr. ‘Vil son, that if he had been acquitted, and obtained his liberty, there was one man whom he should certainly have destroyed, but Le would forbear mentioning the n true. Mr. Wilson said, " Then it is much better as it is, because you would only have been mote deeply in crinie."—Thurtell answered, " Perhaps it is, and I am satisfied." In the course of the evening, Thurtell told several anecdote; about Probert and his associates, particularly Lawyer and Mr. 11. amongst others, he sail that Probert and these two persons were in the jigger at Gilt's hilt; that it was a most saccessful business, for they were getting 30D1. a-week when the following ac cidental circumstance broke it up:—The man who set up the still, and worked it,passed as Probert's gardener; and burn his working occasionally in the garden, and weating a suitable di ess, everybody in the neighbour hood supposed he was the character which he assumed, until one evening he went to a public-house to smoke his pipe, where there happened to be two Excise Officers, who knew him to be an old hand at private stills, and they directly asked him where he lived? As this ques tion was in the hearing of the publican, he could rot disguise the fact; and he thin clove said, " I have left off the old trade, and have gone to my own business, and am living as gardener to Mr. Probert, at Gill's-hill cottage. - The Excise Officers appeared satisfied with this exphination. but the man went kome as expedi tiously as possible, and communicated what had oc curred ; when, expecting that they might be soon fa voured with a visit, they all set to work, and removed every vestige of the illegal distillery in the course of the night. Next morning, sure enough, the officers came, but found they were too late, and got nothing fur their journey. In the coutse of the evening Thurtell read to me and the peolle who were sitting up with him, and about one! o'clock he prepared to go to bed ; before he went to sleep lie asked me to read to him the LORD'S Prayer, which I did ; and he then fell into a sound repose, and although thine was occasionally a considerable noise in the roem, and every time I moved or turned, my fetters made a great clank, he did not awake outright but only ni,w and then while I was laying by'his sidecry . ing, he muttered out in :i low tone, " Goo bless you, Joe. I hr?e yeti w ill be saved." - Aboat ~. .v, :l Q'ci , x l :, ;:r. Wilson cam)! irto the cell with some. breakfast, and Thurt:ll was then to sound asleep, that Mr. Wilson was obliged to shake hintby the arm two or threestimes before he awoke. Mrd'Franklin, the Ordinary, came soon afterwards and assisted him in his religious duties, but when Mr. Franklin .proposed to read prayers, u ►tell said he would, with the Clergyman's permission, read them himself, and he read them aloud most beautifully.— After we had taken the Sacrament, and about a quarter of an hour before he went out to suffer, Thurtell said to Mr. Wilson, " [ have one more favour to request of you, if you can oblige me," Mr. Wilson asked what it was ? Thurtell said, " h is to tell me how the great fight terminated." Mr. Wilson said he did not know, but would go out and inquiie ; he did so, and on his re turn, he said, " It has been a very hard-fought battle, it lasted for two hours and five minutes, and Spring was a great deal punished, but he has won it." On which Thurtell said, " I am glad of it, Gou bless him, he is an old friend of mine." In about five minutes after this, the Under-Sheriff came into the cell, and lie said he was quite wady. As we were walking to the place of execution, Thurtell said, " M y courage has not forsaken me up to this mo ment," and then shaking his head at me, he said,'' Joe, • Joe, you should have kept voor own counsel, and then it would not have been thus!" We were now near the last door which he had to pass ! • to ascend the scaffold, and I, in the greatest :action, • took his hand to bid him a final farewell ; he receive,: • my hand in one of his, and lilting up the other as high ; as the handcuffs would permit, he clapped it down upon , my grasped hand, and pressing it fervently, he said. ' " Goo bless you, old fellow, I hope you trill be saved!" . I pressed his hands to my lips, and w,as tottering 'with , agony, and should have sunk down on the ground had not Mr. Wilson and some Gentlemen kindly come to • f my assistance. LAW IA 1 EI,LIGEACE. COURT OF KING'S BENCIT, JANUARY 04. GAMBLERS.—TIIN KING V. FIELDER. In this case the defendant had been convicted on one count, which set forth the keeping of a common gaming house, in the parish of St. James, which was not the pa rish; and convicted on another count which set forth no parish. A rule to chew cause why judgment should not be arrested, on the ground that it was necessary to set forth the parish, had been obtained in the la,t Term. Mr. ATTORNEY -GENERAL now shewed cause, and contended that the parish was not necessary, if the local situation was sufficiently strewn, and the venue given in the town.—Mr. Anotenus supported the objection. The .Coultv took time to decide, and directed the Attorney-General to move for judgment upon another conviction. TheArroircue-Geseuatmovedaccordingly. Mr. Justice BayLey read his notes of the trial in 1817. The indictment was for keeping No. 9, • Bennet-stn eet, &. George's, Hanover-square, a house for rouge el noir. `` they played "from ten at night till after three, some raimes six in'the•merning. Hazard was once played, and Orr Godley AVebster won %/W. , : Mr. Auckanus. applied for:tirne•to prepare affidavits. Mr. ArroaNEY-GEN§RAL conlented. Next Thursday was fixed: the r defendant was, in the meantime,' ordered into die ctistddy• of the Marshal of the Marshalsea. THE KING V. OLDFIELD AND BENNET. The defendants appeared to receive the judgment of die Court, having been found Guilty, on several indict ments, of keeping a common gaming-house in Pall-mall. Mr. AD44.Vti Us addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, and called the :r.teation of . the Judges to the punishment which the ckleadants had already suf fered.' They had been some time in custody, hiving been sentenced to pay a fine of 1,0001. each, and undergo twelve month: ifornisonment. Affidavits were read, in which the defendants threw their families upon the mercy of the Court, and stated, that longer confinement, in their then bad state of health, must be productive of the most fatal con,equences. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was heard in support of the prosecution. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in delivering the sentence, ob served, that the Court bad attended to all the affidavits, and in consequence of the alleged dangerous state of health of the defendants, they were disposed not to or der longer imprisonment. The defendants had no doubt been the means of spreading misery and desolation in Families by the encouragement they had afforded that most de,tructive vice, gaming, and the Court could not discharge its duty unless they strongly marked the of fence. The sentence would no doubt involve the fami lies of the defendants in distress, but that would be little compared to the wide mischief these gaming-houses had produced among society. The date of the convictions being previous . to the Act which empowered the C..urt to order hard labour, they could not apply that punishment. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to pass the sen tence of the Court on the defendants. For the offence of which Old field bad been alone convicted, the sen tence was that he should pay a fine of £5OO. For the next offence, of which they had been both convicted, Oldfield was sentenced to pay a tine of 1:1500, and Ben net a fine of 1:2000 ; and for the third, they were sen tenced to pay each a further fiae of £lOOO, and each to give security for his good behaviour for five years, them selves in 10,0001. and two sureties in 2000/. each, and be imprisoned until the fines were paid and securities found. Mr. SCARLETT obtained a rule to strew cause why a criminal information should not issue against four per sons—Sauthgate, Rich, Tient, and Mills, for obstruc tion of the Mayot's Court. in Gravesend. THE KING V. TRUST. An affidavit by the defendant was read. It stated that he sold works in favour of Chi istianity-,-that he sold few copies of Palmer's Principles of .‘niure, and that be had suffered very severe losses by the prosecution, and that he was willing to give up all atheistical books. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL remarked, that he haA not stated to what place he had removed the books. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL agreed to send some per son with Trust, to ascertain what he had done with the books, and what value they were of, in order that the sacrifice he had made might be fairly before the Court.

KING'S THEA 111 E. . --.....-- . _ Ititseacon commenced at this Theatre on Satutinar night, with more than usual eclat. The announcement: of the splendid preparations which 11,d been made, sip attracted the curiosity of the uprer rank*. ~t . !ocieti that at six o'clock the avenues were clow.!ed ; the barriers of the Ticket Clciks were nearly overt', ned by the first rush, and a scene of the utmoA confusion Listed till seven o'clock. At 2 few minutes past seven o'clock, ROSSI Nt took his place (v,hich he sill al.o Jo for the next tw.) nights) at the piano. The acclamations being nriveral, the en- viable object of them bowed in a moJeA and gtaceful manner to the audience. The Ditector of the Theatre for this g!tson is Signor BENELLI, who appears, horn the an angea.ents which he has aheady carried into eff:ct, to be em neatly qua lified for the task. He has brought amongst us Itusstst t, the greatest musical genius of our age, and the season was properly opened with a new Opera, composed by ItosslN4 entitled Ze!Num. The parts are thus cast: Minim Sijuora Cothran - Ist a Donna. Emma Vestris Idem. Antenor 110, a Trojan Prince Polidorus liiuof Lebo, Leocippus Eacidts Signora Garcia - Curioni Benetti I',•rto - Franetscli i - Ist Tenor. Ideni. Bass. - Tenor. Priestess, 'Warriors, Attendants, &r. The opera is in two acts, and the story of the piece is as follows: There reigned in the Island of Leshu an excellent Prince, named Poliduro, who was truly !nippy in his old age, beiag cherished by the love of his people, the tender affection of Zelmira, his daughter, as also of her spouse, Ho, a valiant Trojan Prince. Ile being com pelled to contest with an enemy, who threatened his dominions, was obliged to absent himself from Lesho. Azorte, Lord of Ali tylene, profiting of his absence, and irritated against Polidoro for having refused hint the hand of Zelmira, with a powerful army in vaded his kingdom, where he carried terror and ikeastation. Ne vertheless, his revengeful avidity could not be accomplished without the death of I'olidoro, whose retreat he endeavoured to discover by every means in his power. - teladra succeeded in concealing her father in the tomb whine was deposited tha ashes of the It ings of Lesbo; and to prevent the discovery of his concealment, with feigned ferocity, presented herAilf to the usurper, pretending to wish the death of her father, as he had deprived het of such a bril liant conquest, and told him that Pohdoto had taken refuge in the temple of Ceres. Azorre immediately condemocd that sacred edi fice to the flames. In the meantime, Antenor, who aNired to the throne of Mitylene, seconded by Leucippus, ordered, in the dead of the night, that Azcrre should be put, to death, and by his arti fices he mounted the throne of Lesbo and Mitylene. But Ito, having defeated his enemies, returned opportunely to I.esbo, anti with his valiant warriors animating the depressed courage of the people, ever faithful to their legitimate sovereign, he vanquished and put to flight the usurper, aed reinstated King Polidoto un his throne. The anecdote is taken front the tragedy of Zalmira, by ,Signor Barn , . The Opera of Zetmira was written at Naples ih 1322, for representation at Vienna, but by way of rehearsal it was performed a few nights in the former city, by the company that was afterwards to bring it out at the lat ter. It subsequently appeared at ti.e imperial Aulic Theatre of Vienna, and his undergone some alterations, chiefly for the adaptation of the parts to the different • performers who are to sustain them. Madame liossm (the wife of the Composer), who did not appear until the second scene, whets she descends • the - steps of the mausoleum, was loudly applauded; she sustained, as she originally did at Naples, the first cha racter, Zelmira. This lady possesses a fine and COM• maitding figure; her voice and style bear some resem blance to Madame FODOR'S, who afterwards performed the same part at Vienna. Her execution is great, and her articulation distinct. She was greeted on her first appearance with the loudest plaudits. C:ie does not, like CATALAN, overpower and astonirh by the compass of her voice; indeed she is rather inferior in that respect to the general female sin2,ers of high reputation in Italy ; but she displays great science, considerable flusibility,and often a sweet modulation, which has a thrilling effect. Signor GARCIA, who appeared soon after, was also greeted ; his vivacity of expression, and the style of his performance, patticularly in pathetic and impassioned ldve, have always been applauded. Cuntosa was equally well received ; he possesses great taste, and is evidently an acquisition. The deep and impressive tones of Poiro, were heard with an imposing effect and• loudly acknowledged. Madame VESTRIS maintained her usual taste and spirit. FHA Ncßscut, who made his first appearance, was also well received. The Opera was from beginning to end rapturously applauded ; the scenery was very good, some of it really magnificent. Of the instrumental accompaniments, no praise can ex ceed the merits. The orchestra was admirably filled, and the effect of the accompaniments, during parts of the performance, was grand and impo , ing in the highest degree ; the richness, the variety, and the compass of some of the musicians, was the finest ever heard within these walls, and elicited repeated and raptutous appro. bation.—The Opera was IblloNed by the performance of a divertissement chevalresque, entitled, l ionneur aux Dames, and the performances were concluded by a new ballet divertissement, called, L'Adoratign au Soled. It is an exquisite and rich display of oriental costume and fascinating grace, and varied and beautiful'evolutions. The scenery is tropical and appropriate. ROSSINI was called for at the conclusion of the Opera, and appeared on the stage, to be personally greeted by the audience. CORN EXCIIANOE, MARK-LAN ~ JAN. 26.
