W. WEARE. Public curiosity on thestlrr of this mystorions affair Rust now be suspended till the trial. Mr. Jenkyns, the Solicitor for the prosecution, is making every necessary arrangement for the strict performance of his duty, and means are adopted for discovering every person who can afford any information, directly or indirectly, upon the horrible transaction. Several new witnesses have recently been obtained. Bishop, the Bow Street officer, has left town on a secret mission, it is believed connected with the late mender. Mr. Fenton arrived in Hertford yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, was the bearer of the mandamus, and felt it to be his duty to serve copies of it upon the 11v. Mr. Lloyd, and some of the visiting Magistrates to whom it was ad dressed conjointly with the High Sheriff. A complete alteration bad, however, within a short time. taken place in the disposition to refuse admission to Mr. Fenton, and that gentleman was yesterday admitted to see Thurteli, as one of his solicitors, the moment he presented his. man dames to the gaoler. Mr. Hewett, a solicitor on the part of the assignees of Thomas Tlinrtell, laccoinpanie I by another Gentleman, arrived at Hertford yesterday, fur the purpose of obtaining an interview in the gaol with John ThurtrlL upon the subject of the insurance case, and to obtain an affidavit from the latter. it is supposed, in cou'radietion to Hunt's, which Mr. Barber Beaumont procured when he visited the prison. After a short consultation upon the subject of his admission, the Under Sheriff gave an order fur that purpose, which was obeyed by the gaoler. He had in c.,nsequence a conference with John Thurtell, and we understand depositions epon the insurance case were taken in the prison. But the visit of the solicitor for the as signees upon Thomas Thurtell's affairs, was, like his business, entirely distinct from, and anconnected with, the trial ofJ oh n Martell. On Saturday, it is intended that the whole of the depo sitions for the prosecution shall be read over to Thurtell, and the several witnesses who speak to hit identity are to have the opportunity of seeing the prisoner, for the more full verification of their respective depositions. The de. meanoor of Thurtell in his interview with Mr. Pentin wag cool Collected, and unembarrassed; and his comma nicationti or instructions for his. defence are said to•be extremely voluminous. Mr. 4:bitty and Mr. Andreive are the counsel said to be retained for Thalia. A Kidgii counsel is also spoken of by a special retainer. The behaviour of the prisoners has suffered very little alteration, although a variety of rumours were afloat in Hertford, respecting Thurtell's depression of spirits within the last day or two. It is true that the ennui of close im. prisonmeut to a person of his imputed habits, and the seri ,ons and reserved denieanonr of those who are with hint in the same room, hare caused him to manifest a more grave manner, and to devote occasionally more time to the perusal of the religious books which have been placed in his room, than he did in the beginning* his imprisonment •, bet there is no material alteration in his firmness and self-pos session : he talks freely of the adventures of his life, and seems rather pleased at the opportunity of indulging in snob topics of conversation. Y e sterday Hunt changed his last sovereign, and Probert received at the same time from. Thurtell the uncomfortable intimations that he could not afford to pav any longer for his support. No person having as yet offered asy professional assistance in behalf of Pro hert, a gentleman addressed Mr. Jiy in the prison, while be was proceeding to visit Thurtell, and asked whether it was inconsistent with his arrangements, or improp-r, for him to undertake that prisoner's defence. Mr. Jay -re plied, that as be was deputed solely to set for John Thor tell, he could not extend his professional aid to any of the I otber prisoners. Probert is extremely dejected; and with respect both to pecuniary and mental resources appea-s to be in a most-. tortoni condition.-I'hurteil exre-ses a kittili"feeling.. , U!.' . 7ben. dotted at all withOst a strong 'enietion of costeillyt had indignation. When he was told the other day df the desponding state in which Probert is, he said; 'e Poor Mellow; he has no mind at all; he has not costal!. tO Meer ,any charge." Last week the High Saeriff visited. the Cottage at Gill's Hill, where he met Mr. Wardell ‘ the late under-tenant, who spoke with much commisserarloo of 'Prohert; and on learning the destitute cireornstaticei In whisk be is planed, requested the Sheriff to carry hint a seetereign,whicb he gave fur that purpose, expressing great regret at the indigence and misery of his late eab*ppy neighbour. Yesterday Probed, on receiving the stoney, from the Sheriff, expressed a wish that Wardell, leakir Wood, and someetber persons of the neighbourhood, would appear on his trial and state what they know of him. Bent is very confident and collected, but he seems as far front jssessing the cool determination of Thurtell as the de. ested air of Probert ; he does not indulge its any of she ribaldry that was formerly so familiar to him, but his W I pressions sometimes affect an indifference to the result 'if the approaching trial which borders upon levity..-41* jis acid id to a gentleman that he, was afraid the resent woad hnr his e agagetnents is sines& ;111001 , Therteirs hisvisyet desired to eke bins. Gill's Hill instill visited every day by crowds of sped* tors, among whom we have noticed many persons of rank. Lord Essex and a party of friends were there yesterday. It is understood that it is the intention of ThortelPi legal advisers to apply to the Court to postpone hits trial till the Spring Assizes, in order to afford time for the prejudice which it is presumed exists in the public mind against him sad his companions to subside. Iw or such a coarse there ate easy precedent., and it is not improbable, from all that bas been stated, added to the impediments which have been *Own is the way of Thurtell's dsfence, that the application will be successful If this sbonlil be the case, Mr. Loyd, the visiting Magistrate of Hertford Gaol, must lock forward to many anxious nights during the approaching winter. It is rumoured that the watch of the deceased has been discovered, but we have been unable, after mach inquiry, to learn maroon the subject, than that witnesses are eagerly sought after who ran identify the property. The deceased, about nine months since, finding his hair very weak, and his head becoming in a slight degree bald, was, on the advice of a physician, shaved • he observed but the day before be left town for Gill's Hill, that be was anxious for the return of Spring, that he might get rid of his wig, which considerably annoyed him. When the body was found, this article was missing, nor has it since been heard of. It is surmised that it may hare shared the fate of the clothes the unfortunate deceased had on' at the time he was murdered. After these the most diligent search still continues. A plaid handkerchief and a coloured waistcoat, found in Hunt's lodgings, are both positively sworn to; the former by the laundress, who hemmed it, and Its latter, by her brother, who made it to the order of deceased. It wu mentioned at the sitting of the Magistrates of Brighton on Tuesday last, that Leman, and others impli cated in the murder of Weare, had belonged to a horde of Ramblers, who last year engaged a large house, and for some time carried on their plundering practices here, until ranted by the Police of that tows, with Sir David Scott it their head, and compelled to seek safety in flight. One of the discombtted crew, whose conscience perhaps told his that more had been discovered than act•i;lly was, hired at that time a boat, and was landed in France. "Y" - I'' -..

At a meeting of the Commissioners is the ease of the above bankrupt, which took place yesterday in Quality•court, Chan cery Lane, Mr. Stedman, the proprietor of the house, No. 4, Cumberleod Street, New Road, in which some furniture was deposited, supposed by John Thurtell and Heat, and which the Commissioners claim as belonging to the bankrupt, under went a long examination, and several threats were held out to him of committal to prison, Ac., unless he gave immediate ad mittance to the messenger of the commission, and dered up all the property thus left in his possessioo. Mr. Stedman positively refused to do either one or the other, until they gave him sufficient proof that the property belonged to the bankrupt, and an indemnity against any future claim from coy other party—for Instance, the Crown, or perhaps the very persons who gave him charge of the furniture in the name of Brown. Ballard, an officer of Marlborough Street. who resides in the next house to Mr. Stedman, was also strictly examined ad to his having given any advice to resist the interference of Inc Commissioners' messenger; but there appeared to be no grounds whatever for such suspicion, and in the end both were discharged, without any step being taken, as was threatenedi against Mr. Stedman, who, when he got home, found that Bally, a man who got into the house on Tuesiay night by stra tagem on the part of the Commission, and had been ever slime locked up in the passage. being regularly starved into submis sion, cried for mercy, and had been suffered to depart several pounds lighter in weight than when be entered the house, It is not supposed that Mr. Stedman will be again interfered with. MR. OWEN AND THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND, Letter Seventh. ..—. 0 .,... TO TIIIL EDITOR. Std—The success, t;Ofarsiirpas --- singMy expeetatiod, of the measures which bare been hitherto pursued, for promoting the great cause of truth and of human happiness, supplies the strongest possible motive to persevere withifirmness and increased order in the same course; and, in reference to my future efforts for the advancement of the New System, it is my intention, generally, to employ all the means I can t 3 bring into action for enabling the puhlic to acquire, not a mere general notion, but a distinct understanding of all the principles on which it is founded, and a full conviction of their extraordinary practical importance, in the whole busineis and concerns of human life. By many this undertaking Int) , still be deemed visionary; and the great and beneficial change which it contemplates, in all the arrangements of society, may be pronounced im possible ; or, at least, attainable only at a vastly distant period. But why is the enterprize visionary, or why Must lbe change from error and discord to rationality and union— from vice and misery to virtue and happiness, be necessa rily reserved for an age, so remote frum that ►n which we live? Is it visionary to advocate a system, which is proved to be in accordance with the laws of Nature and of God ? It is visionary to believe that man will prefer living in happiness to existing in misery? Is it visonary . to conclude, that, as sopn as mankind shall distinctly perceive the most superabuodaut means of err , tain happiness to be within their reach, they will instantly proceed to avail themselves of these means? Or, when the causes which have heretofore produce(' evil among men, are at length discovered, and when it is de. monstrated, not only that they are not beyond our controul, but that' society possesses ample means to remove and exclude them, is it visionary to anticipate, nay, confidently to expect, an extraordinary change, at no distant period, in the condition of mankind? Already have the new principles taken deep root in Ithe minds of a considerable nisnOrr of interligent indivie not only in Ureat.Prilain and Ireland, but oo the Continent of Europe and in America: And, having the elostiberfouroimotios of t►rir tzath i u .. well as of ihtir :~~ N I ~: f wc . • efficacy lo prudes , . I entertain a conviction eqoalty that no human power can stop their prOgrets, or their rapid diffusidn throughout society. But before proceeding to consider the mere geserallr mini of exteadhig the knowledge and the practice of the New Syiteas; I shall' recur to the experiesent at New% Work; where I man now to carry into 'sedition sweat . , Measures for the re rther impefteineotof the physical saystat I and naertai Modifies of the villagers, which I have lone. • had is coolemplation: but before the introduction of whisk. 4 some yeas' Of experience were necessary.

This pert of the systret has been hitherto withheld, because many obstacle' were lathe way of its beneficial introduction.' In effecting these changes in the bahits of the people,. the same principle will be acted epee, which .was the meant.. at a former period, of Inducing them to purchase at that: General Store, and to alter the dress of their childrer... The benefit of the change will be rendered obvious to them by experience; they will not be required to adopt it until. their interest and inclination lead them to do so. They wilt; be at fall liberty to continue their present practice, or Kik purchase the cooked provisions, and take them home, or t•le, net their meals in the spacious and comfortable rooms pro.; sided for their accommodation. Ultimately, there can b a no doubt, as many will prefer the latter wade si the apart. merits will conveniently contain. These are the measures about to be carried into effect.,, to improve the health and comfort, or the physical eMtii. tion of the villagers, without encreasing their experielitere: But it is intended that the mental and moral condition'of, the population should be advanced yet more than the Op% sisal. I have already expreised my opinion of the .ollewstena of instruction ; that it is calculated only to make caldron' lar with sounds. which to them have 11 , 1 meaning, of which to convey to them very erroneous notions ; that expe:rience has proved it to be a very erraneens mode of cultivating their faculties, and the most injurious to their health and temper, that &lull well be devisee'. The system to which nature directs is, as was before observed. to .place the object. of which a knowledge is to bee ed. distinctly before their minds, and then to talk to t ' upon the subject, and allow theta to ask their own OA tione, and to reply to the questions Of their instructors ire their own language, The Mind of a child should be well stored with useful facts, before it sees the • alphabet ; nor should I torment Any child with a letter or figure befors it was eight years of Age, at the least. By that period, if he had been properly taught by sensible signs and cow.. versation with his teachers, he world possess an acendt'ai general knowledge of the various divisions of the worl.l. of the natural productions Of each climate, of the natara history of each country, of the ancient and modern history of each nation, df its existing political and commercial relations, of the relative advance of each nation its thee sits and sciences, of the real value of the latter to society. and of the errors, which now keep the world in a state' of comparative ignorance. demoralization and barbarism. He would know how its own character, and the character of every human being was formed ; he would be practically. acquainted with the science by which the character of all human beings can be well or ill formed; he would know the causes which produce good, and those which produce evil to man; he would know from experience how the former could be winded, and the latter made perpetually. active ; he would, in short, become fully conscious of the error and folly whicb ,diave hitherto characterised the pro. ceedings of mankind, and which history renders cons/nous Gaily manifest. _ _ And yet, note ithstanding all this, he would remain, ac cording to the common notion of education, uninstructed: for be would know nothing at all ofletters or figures. It is now only that this intelligent and rational being shoull commence the alphabet, and the nine digits; and thus r e . pared, I should be greatly disappointed, if in less than twelve months he did not pass all of the old school l:a reading, writing, and arithmetic, although the latter had. been hammering at their lessons in these branches excia , siva) , for four or five years preceding. And, having passed. them, I should be equally odisappointed, if, in every six months afterwards, he did not make a greater progress in. these and all other scholastic exercises, than the average of • his competitors could in twelve months, carrying with blot at the same time all his previously acquired knowledge, anti day by day making large accessions to it. It is, therefore, in contemplation that the young children ak New Lanark shall be more and more instructed, as nature di rects, by mainly signs and conversation, and less arid lest by the tedious, unhealthy, tormenting and irrational mode of forcing sounds without sense upon their unwilling attention. — The former method is calculated, in an eminent degree, tit' cul tivate the mental faculties and moral sense of children. lbw latter, as daily experience testifies. is singularly well adapted to destroy, not only the health and temper, but tbe judgment also; and hence it is that a mere book-learned man so ofte's heComes a diseased, peevish, conceited, troublesome; useless being; and that next to the poor female outcasts, who are nightly dying of reglect and disease in the large towns end cities of what is called the civilized part of the world, lie or serves most of our pity and commisseration. Such a charac ter could never he formed in the new state of society. In addition to this improvement in education for the young. it is now my intention to carry into execution plans, long since devised, for the instruction of the adult psrt of the pa ! potation of the village,. which plans were suspended, Latta their curiosity should tie.swakened by the rapid progress of their childten in knowledge and superior conduct, and until • the influence of cirCurnster.ces should prepare them for their reception. A certain time must elapse before important kw: provements can be put in practice ;,rand it requires great pa tience to waft for, and a prompt and decisive judgment to seize upon, the earliest moment, when they can be snqessfull; introduced and adopted. But the utmost extent of the improvements, which can be , engrafted on any of the arrangements of old society, and par ; ticularly on an establishment conned 36 years ago, solely /or the •pinning of cotton, must be fiery limited indeed. Ever* thing appertaing to the old narraugements is so vicious in pill, • eipie, and so detrimental to Innann 'nature in ptee.tica.•tbat.
