go' • We were together at the condemned sermon on Thurs day, and while in the pew I was greatly affected. Thur tell endeavoured to sooth roe, but at the same time said, "'Hunt, you brought it all upon yourself: if you had not told where the body was, there could have been no trial, and we should have been safe." I answered "it was to be so, and it cannot be helped ; and if it had not then been divulged, it must have came out at some other time." In the course of the afternoon and evening Thurtell talked a good deal about the Trial, and said to Mr. Wil son, "11 it bad taken place at the Old Bailey we must both have been acquitted, for who could believe a word that Probed swore, after his stating that Hunt told him where to set him down. when it was well knoww-thst Hunt was never there in his life; this ought to . have Woo enough to have acquitted us."' Tlitirtell also mid to me. " IT I had known as much when the trial was first to have come on, as I do now, 1 would have asked Mr. Harmer to let von say that I was innocent, and that you and Probert did the murder ; and I am sure Mr. Harmer would have consented, because, if I bad been cleared, you must have been acquitted, and Pro bert only would have suffered." He several times declared, that he would not change si tuations with Probed, because his sufferings would soon Le at an end, but Probed must lead a life of wretchedness. In the course of conversation, Thnrtsll told Mr. Wil son, that if he bad been actritted, and obtained his liberty. there was one man whom he should certainly have destroy r. ed, but be would forbear m entionin g the name. M- Wilson said, then it is much better as it is, because you would only hive been more deeply in crime."—Thurtell answered, " Perhaps it is, and I am satisfied." In the course of the evening, Thurtell told irveral suers dotes about Probert and las associates, particularly Lawyer -- and Mr. Il : among others he said, that Probed and these two persons were in the jigger at Gill's Hill ; that it was a most successful business, for they were getting :1001. a-week when the following accidental circum stance broke it up :—The man who set up the still, ;Lint worked it, passed as Probrres gardener; and from Ills working occasionally in the garden, and w earing a suita was ble dress, every body in the neighb o u rhood suppo . sed lie 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 o ld hand at private stills, and they di rec tly asked him where lie lived ?—as this question was in the hearing of the publican, be could not disguise t he fact ; and he therefore said, " I have left off the old trade, and hare gone to my own business, and am living as gardener to Mr. Probed, at Gill's Hill Cottage." The excise officers appeared satis fied with this explanation, but the man went home as et• peditionsiv as possible, and communicated whit bad 0.- ; when. expenting that they might be soon favoured with a visit, they all set to work, and rem wed every v.s tige of the illegal distillery in the course of the night. Next morninz, sure enuitzli, the officers came, but land they were too late, and gat nothinz for their kturney. In the comes of the eveni WI Thin tell road to me and the people win, uere'sit'ing up with hint, and about one o'clock he prepared to go to bed ; before he went to !steep, he asked me to read ro him the Lord's Prayer, which I did t and he then fell into a sound repose, and althon.:ll there seas occa sionally a considerable noise in the r.mai, and every time I moved or turned, my fetters made a emit clank, he did not awake outright, but only now and then while I was laving by his side crying, lie unuttered out in Lire tone, " God bless yon. Joe, I bop von will be saved." About 7 o'clock Mr. Wilson came into the cell with some breakfast, and Thurtell was then so soon.' asleep, that Mr. Wilson was obliged to shake him by the arm two or three times before he awoke. Mr. Franklin, the Ordinary, came 5000 afterwards and assisted him in his religious ulntiee, hut when Mr. Frank lin proposed to read prayers, Thurtell said he would, with the Clergyman's permission, read them himself, and lie read them Amyl most beautifully. After we had taken the sacrament, and about a quarter of an hour before he went out to stiffer, Thurtell said to Mr. Wil s on, " I have one more favour to request of you, if yon can oblige me;" Mr. Wilson asked whet it was ; Thurtell said. " It is to tell me how the great fight terminated ?" Mr. Wilson said be did not knoiv, but would go out and inquire ; lie did so, and on his return, 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. hut he has won it." On which Thurtell said, " I am glad of it, Cod bless him, he is an old friend of mine." In about live minutes after this, the Under Sheriff came into the cell, and he said he was gull. ready. As we were walking to the place of execution, Thurtell s uid—uu My courage has nut forsaken me up to this moment," end then shaking his bead at me, he said—" Joe, Joe, you liltottld have kept your 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 affection. took his band to bid him a final farewell he received my hand in one of his, and lifting up the other as high as the handcuffs would permit, lie clapped it d own upon my grasped hand, and press ing it fervently, he sa i d—" Goo bless you, old fellow. I hope you will be sexed ;" I pressed his hand to my lips, and was tottering with agony, and should have sunk down on the ground bad not Mr. Wilson and some gentlemen kindly come to my assistance.

I Nli'S THEATKIL " Bell aura di pace, " Al nembo socceda." The Italian Opera opened on S.torday to the fashionable world. The fame of Rossi Nt(of whom we spoke last %reek), and the eel billy of those person; who are under engage ments with the al tine manager, Mr. BENFLLI, were calcu lated ro excite considerable attention. It being the law evening of the week, the doors were opened at so early an hour as six o'clock, when we never experienced so ilifficul a task as to obtain an entrance to the pit ; the check takers were obliged to use repeated calls for the aid of officers; the doors were their,. closed ; ran k. gentle and simple, were alike disregarded, and be wh o could gain a seat earliest for his doly was considered to he the most fortunate adventurer. Hence, in a short time, this part of the theatre was excessively filled; the stir rctrildal the I y ionb 3 e f t ci t lt l e i o e o f l a rh i r r ehier s s e at e r:: tr n : t iv i r sttotr. expectation soh,::edr . reuniting boxes were distinguished by an illustrious ilts h p he seemed had Rossioedf qual it y , a e N r t appeared 1 .t h e their seats p a r n e d il e fi c o e u ss r o — rs t . h F e o u r i s a ez f r it . than the audience rose; they were eager to catch a glitn i ote of the modern musical genius, and to patronize the eminent s u t i t i c n c i e v e r o s r t t h o e M p o i le n ez i ;a il s A li T o D ok with becoming modesty, returned his grateful oheisat.ceond the overture, a scientific composition. succeeded with .. 1 . 1 . 1 . table execution. A similar yet mote enthusiastic feeling, if possible, followed. The celebrity utile') Zelmira had acquired on the contient, gave tin opportunity for i's bring performed in this country, snbjerz, of cowrie, to a few adaptations. To give a more complete account of this opera, which is in two acts, we extract from a translation the plot, with the characters as they were east on our wit nessing their first illustration onSaturday night.We a r e e,i4 there reigned in the island of Leib° an exrellent Pi ince, named Pollidoro, (signore Paecce) who was trid• happy in his old age, bring cherished by the love of his people; the tender affection of Zehoira, COLDRAN Roma:Obis daughter, as also of her (Signereliaucta) a valiant Trojan prince, I.e bring emit lo contest with an enemy, who thri atened his doMi- MOOD, was obliged to absent himself from la sho. . Azore, Lord of Mitvlene, profiting by Isis ahltenee, and irritated against Polidora for having refilled hint the hand of ZEI,- MIRA, with a powerful army invade,' his kingdom, where he carried terror and devastation. Nevertheless Ilis rt.. vengeful aridity could not fully he accomplished without the death of Polidoro, whose retreat he endeavoured to discover by every means in his power. Zelntira enc. red in concealing her father in the tomb, where were deposited the ashes of the kings of Lesbo, and to prevent the very of his concealment, feigned ferocity, presented herself ter the usurper, pretending to wiab the death of her father, es lie had deprived her of Ruth a brilliant conquest, and told him that Polidoro had taken refuge in the temple f ('errs. Asorre i diately condenteed that s a cred edifice to the flames In the mean time Antenore, (Signore Cnatosti). who aspires! to the throne of Ali tylene, seconded by Lcvcippo,' (Signore Pilul)) or dered in the dead of night, that Azorre should be put to death, and ley his artifices he mounted the throne of Leibo and Mitylene. But Do, having defeated his enemies, returned opportunely to Lesbo , and with his valiant ear • riors animating the 'depressed courage of the people, ever faithful to their legitimate sovereign, he vanquished, and put to flight the uenriter, and reinstated King Polidoro on his throne. The anecdote (says the pnblisher of Km sini's Memoirs) is taken from the Tragedy of Zelmira by Signor Helloy. The subordinate characters are Emma, (Madame VESTRID) attendant npon Zeloriree Eacide, (Signore FRANCIIISCNI) I/o's knight, Ze/mira's son, High Priest, ()rand Priest, and Priests of the Temple of Jupiter, Chortle. of Ladies' attendants, People of Lesho, Warriors of Mitylene, Attendants of //o, linards, et Cli. The scene is at Lesbo. The language in this Opera is sufficiently animated, so as to afford great room for the composer's genius. From first to last, a spirit of melody and originality of tone pervailedit r—the oboe clarionet, violin and horn continually surprised the ear with new graces and beautiful execution. Nor were the voices lest effective in their respective class. Madame COLEMAN ' S face is intelligent ; expression is her forte ; her notes art clearly trilled. and her esecution comprehensive. She is a native of Spain, inheriting the sunny and refined cut of her country women. Her eye is dark and rather soft than piercing, her profile aqniline, and leer action graceful. In her interview with her fattier, disguised as a priest, in the second scene at the sepulchre,lier modnlation and science were admirably displayed—when she expressed Soave conforto l)i un padre dolente, the audience were so much delighted that they could with diffienity restrain their praise to the end of the scene. Not so full of volume as CA7461.11'0. nor so belltoned as Forma, nor of so commanding a figure as Mrs. Buse. Coulees assumes dignity, and flings a charm of beauty around her person. In scene the styli, her passion ate `OA ? when soliciting her husband to escape from danger and death—when she asserts tier innocence after having saved his life from the riag ger of the assassin—her calm fortitude in foloing the caution of the vir.ins— la hen she was releas e d w from her chains and becenie trio - qail—reqnested to be dragged with iinteaore—to the con elusion, as her peace gradually returned and her happiness hopefully breathed, the actress was more impressive and her melody more admired ; her varied expressiveness and her elocotioe, by the strength of correct cadence, elevated her character in the vocal and dramatic circle. Madame VIESTRIS, who was chastely dressed as Emma, acted and sung with great propriety. How differently she appeared to, her rustic archness in Philaadertag last n eck at Drury-late. —initially clever, though two characters ire not more die similar. GARCIA, who looks thinner than when we p a rted last season, retains mellowness of tone and 'cosi ive ar dour. Cl:moat's reedy sweetness, formed, or rather blended on agreeable contrast, when Porto rolled the deep thunders of his incomparable voice around him—the bee assassin we ever saw ; the object of his vengeance conld sat ' avoid trembling as before a lion. In the first and seventh scene, the music seemed born in his SO4l, so nearly Itossiel trollied his capacity.
