DEATH OF LOR,Q CHIEF BARO.t RICHARDS. w e have this day to record the death of the above L ear ned Lord. The event took place at his Lordship's res id enc e, in Great Oimond-street, at half-past nine o'clock t his morning. ilis Lordship had been suffering from indisposition for a considerable time, and so se verely was he attacked on the last Circuit, that. he was o bli g ed to leave the Court. The circumstance was communicated to the LORD CHANCELLOR by a note, t hi s morning, and on coming into Court his t r erdsllip co mmunicated it to the Bar.,--We understand that his LOrtilip WAS iu his 75th year. . LITERATURE. !. 1 1I'OLEON'S MEMOIRS. We hare . already observed, that the third volume or this valuable work possesses a deep interest. It is per. fatly distinct from Las Casei Journal (another excel lent work), which is a Journal of the Conversations of s apo leon at St. Helena with his attendants. The Me on the contrary, are a History of Napoleon's, Public and Political Life, dictated and corrected by him gif; in the composition of which he was ince.santly ncopied &ring the whole of his residence on the Island. These memoirs not only give correct details of his tni rury career , with many curious anecdotes and estimates public character, but they also include x review of some of the most interesting campaigns on record. At present we have only room for a few brief extracts, The first rerates to Bonaparte's family. In the fifteenth cetitui y, a younger branch of the Bonaparte family settled in Corsica*. At the time of the campaign of Italy, there was no one left of all the' Italian branches, but the Abbe Gregorin Bonaparte, Knight of SE. Stephen, and Canon of San Minima. lie was an old man of great re,pectability and wealth. Na poleon, in • his march on Leghorn, stopped at San Mi- tiato, and was received with his whole Staff at the house of his relation._. Those who are well acquainted with the Italian lan. fuage know that it is optional to write Buona or Bona. The members of the Bonaparte family have used both'' these modes of orthography indiscriminately: of two bro. there it has happened that one has written his name with the ft, and the other without it. It seems that the suppres sion of this letter was common in very ancient times. .- The Christian name of Napoleon has also been the subject of much discussion. It was usual in the Orsini sad Lomellini families, front whom it was adopted by that of Bonaparte. The manner of writing it has been disputed in Italy. Some pretended that it was derived from the Greek, and signified Lion of the desert ; others that it was derived from the Latin. The correct way of writing it, is Napoleone. This name is not found in the Roman Calendar. From the searches made in the martyrologies at Rome, at the period of the Concordat, it appears that Saint Napoleone was a Greek martyr. Napoleon's great grandfatlrer had three sons, Joseph, j Napoleon, and Lucien. The first of these left only one sm, whose name was Charles ; the second left only a daughter, named Elizabeth, who was married to the had of the Ornano family ; the third was a Priest, and died in 1.791, aged eighty years ; lie was Archdeacon of the Chapter of Ajaccio. Charles, who thus became the only heir to his father, was the father of Napoleon. He ros educated at home and Pisa, where he took his de r pee of Doctor. of Laws.. • That Bonaparte really thought of conquering Eng land, appears from the following instructions of Sep tember 8, 1815, to his Minister of Marine: • I wished to have assembled forty or fifty ships of oar in the-port of Martinique by combined operations from Tisulon, Cadiz, Ferrol, and Brest, to bring them all at mice back to Boulogne, to become, by these means, .master of the sea for a fortnight; to have 150,000 men and 10,000 horses encamped on that coast; three or 4,000 vessels of the flotilla in readiness, and the moment signals should be made of the arrival of my fleet, to land in England and possess myself of London and the Tharnesi This plan failed of success. But if Admiral Villeneuve, instead of entering Ferrol, had contented himself with rallying the Spanish squa dron, and had - sailed for Brest to Fin Admiral Gan- . theatme, my at my would have landed; it would have been all overr ich Eitrytind." •• Z n pf, in his Sur:nary f Uniivrml I I istqrq, (Precis de rllistire Universetle), twentieth edition, say that a scion of the Comttena sally , who had claims to the throt:e of Cunatantinople,. recited into Corsica in 1-16% and that w•veral members of that family bore the,. name of Cck•nieres, whielt is perfectly identical with that of Bona parte :—L,:/an awns.

Thurtell arrived in a post-chaise and four; he was Pressed elegantly-, ,:ind appeared what is gene- rally understood.by the term, a dashing blade. The" house was then kept by a .young *tart of the name of Denham, who left %Vade's•Mal about a year and a half• ago, and was succeeded 'by its present landlord; - MrcY Evenett, who has brought back the trade of the house; and is much respected on the road. Thurtell and Martin were well known to each other, and almost always together. A few days after the for- - rner arrived at the Feathers, a young woman came down in a post-chaise at a late. hour ; she was an% companied by an eldelly female; the former was re ceived by Thurtell as his wife, the latter left Wade's Mill a day or two afterwards for the metropolis. Tire young woman was about twenty-two years of age, a finelull figure; her face rather plain than other wise, and slightly freckled ; her complexion pale ; she spoke much of Yarmouth, of which place it is supposed she was a native; seldom in her own room, she freely associated u ith the sisters of the landlord, and ofteh, when in the bar, as•isted in the business of the house. She conducted herself, at times, with great propriety, but occasionally indulged in the narration of vulgar • anecdotes, or the telling 100 , .e tales, nor would the pre sence of the other sex octasion any hesitatioa in her , manner er call the sli , : Atest tinge of modesty to her cheek. Her favourite 0 =state& t% as swinging, and for her gratification in this respect, a rope was fixed up in a shed in the yard, on which a pillow was placed as often as n:cessary ; Jack Thurtell frequently officiated in propelling the Lady, but more generally an old blind man performed that duty, and often for - hours' together. Thurtell remained at this house for about six weeks, and brought down Tea-dale, the boxer, who went in training to fight Lenney. Dar ing Iris stay here he had plenty of money, lived .sell and drank his wine every day after dinner, but ',ever to excess. He had generally some of the sporting fraternity with him, and the days and nights were devoted to • gambling. The deceased (Weare), Captain Elliott (who•shot himself ), Baird, Lemmon, D.mnelly, :rod McCarty, were almost constantly of the party. Blind hes.key and hazard were the only games played. • Sundayswere usually devoted to gamSling. One night ,`/Yeare was a winner of from 2001. to 3(Y.d. and although it is supposed that Thurtell generally rose a loser, on qne occasion two of the neighbouring sporting Gentle - felt each forty pounds worth of. reg ret that they had preferred the company of Thurtel l to that of the Reverend Pastor of the Parish Church, who is also the Chaplain of Hertford Jail. Thurtell mace a ent to the .chttrch at Wade's Mill, and recognized the Clergyman, It• his first, interview with the Prison Chaplain. Thug tell was accustomed to express himielf in the strongest and grossest language: as fur instance, having backed Teasdale against Lenney in a considerable amount, he said that he should be in the ring, and rather than his man should be beat, .he would rip up the *belly of the Lenney. At another time he ob,erveri l that if= any man took advantage of him, he would kill him with as little hesitation as he would a rat.

Socarly as twelve o'clock in the day, the line was blocked up with carriages, gigs, and horses, which had been put in requisition to convey the crowds of per- sons who flocked front London and other places to visit the neighbourhood which has obtained such an odious celebrity. The present pioprietor of the premises in which Probert resided was determined that the curiosity of the Public should be a source of profit to himself, and he accordingly exacted a shilling from every per son who viewed the cottage and the g rounds attached to it. The speculation did not prove tphe a bad one; for about 500 persons paid - for admission to the grounds. Several hundreds more, however, who either could not, or would not, pay the sum demanded, contented them selves with a view of the outside of the cottage, from the road, examining the place where the Mulder was committed. Some mistake has arisen with respect to the Missl Noyes, to whom it has been represented that John Thurtell and a Mr. Woods paid their addresses. The female at present in custody is not the Miss Noyes al luded to. The Lady who had excited this rivalship is a younger sister, named Caroline, a pretty girl, about 22 years of age. Woods hall been attached to this girl for three years, and whilst be was in France about six months back, she resided with her sister, Mrs. Probert, at the cottage. Whilst here, John Thurtell used to per secute her w ith his attentions, which she always re jected. When Woods returned from France, about three months ago, Caroline Noyes informed him of Thurtell's conduct, in consequence of which Woods re-' moved her from the cottage, to which she has never since returned. This circumstance probably induced John Thurtell to attempt the life of Woods in the man ner which has been described on a fo: mer occasion. JOHN THURTELL. The following is an outline of the " London life" of John 'Morten, commencing merely with a remarkable fact in his early history : Our readers will recollect the loss of the Hero,. St. ! George, and Defence, line-of-battle ships, coming home' from the Baltic, some years ago. Of the whole crew of . the Defence, eleven only were saved, and of thoie,.Jolin Thurtell was one. His first introduction to what is called " the London ring," was at the Brown Bear pub lic-house, in Bow-street, about three years ago, at Which' time that house wa§ ninth frequented by the boxingfra ternity and their patrons; several fights being nirrthr . there and the money deposited. Dinners to celebrate victories, and to pay and receive bets, were al4 held here; and it was therefore considered in a great measure' as the focus of pugilistic intelligence. At - the tithe spoken of, John Thurtell one day accosted: the; then. landlord at his door in Bow-street, and said he kw*, that he (the landlord) was better acquainted than• most. people with fighting men, and he had therefore waited upon him to elk him if he could recommend two men who could be.depeadednp figit on to.t a crow. The land lord told Weak was an odd qnestion from ,a..stringer, and hesould gisie . lfirre no information upon such a w - jec t, typf if he lierievi him hitimately.
