Thartell, on being conveyed to prison after the trial, was lodged in a room previously prepared fur the purpose, not in the condemned cell. He was conducted to his roomby Mr. Wilson and his son, and there left in the custody of four men. These four men remained with him during the night. Mr. IVilson locked the apartment, and Mr. Wilson, jun. opened it at half past seven this morning. Thurtell, it appeared, was very tranquil during the 'night, after Cie Rev. Me. Franklin's interview ^with him, and he slept soundly during the greater part of the night. Ile awaked twice, hut soon went to aleir again. When Mr. Wilson, jun. presented himself, Triune!l spoke to him very mildly, bidding him good morning," and making some other ordinary re marks. Thurtell said. " I feel easy, and ant o blig e d t o vou fur your attention. How goes the time flaw ":" • Mr. Wilson replied, that it was half past seven u'elock. Thurtell No more ? 1 thought it hail been later. By this time tomorrow all nil' he over, and I shall be glad of it." Mr. IV. " No, not so soon ; but keep vuur mind easy. I am glad to see you in the state of mind in which you appear to be." : " What, will it lot Ise over by eight o'clock ? I want it to end. I wan t that time to come which nil' end mymiseri-s. I am wretched now, and have no desire to live since I cannot see my friends." APer some further conversation, Mr. Wilson retired, and forwarded the prisoner his breakfast. At eight o'clock, Mr. Fenton Went to the prison, and remained some time in Mr. Wilson's room. Ile was deeply affected even to tears ; lie shortly afterwards left the prisoner ouch Mr. Clutterback. the alagi•v ate. At half past eight o'clock the Rev. Mr. Franklin came to the prison, and the several prisoners were removed to the Chapel. Thuriell and Hunt were also brought front their respectlve places of confinement, and in walking thither across the yard, they accidentally met each other. The appearance of Hunt was greatly altered ; every part of him I seemed to tremble, while Thurtell, ton the other hand, tamed a firm composure. hunt suddenly stepped on perceiving Thera, but t'ie latter slightly inclined his head, and passed on. They were then coy aucted to the Chapel, Thurtell still handcuffed, and was watched and guarded by the four indivi duals who are strictly eejained to observe his movements. In fact, these men have positive injunctions not to relax in their vigilant observance of him. and to actinost decidedly, should they deem inter po-ition necessary. It is, howeter, due to Thurtell in state. that the whole of his demeanour wits mill and resigned, but nat unmanly. the Itee. Mr. Franklin entered the Chapel at nine o'clock accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Owen (the Sheriff's son in law) several Magistrates. and the Jailors. No other persons were admitted. Some Gentlemen were there, who did not enter the Chattel, in consequence of an earnest r. quest to that effect, made by the Chaplain ; the Rev. Gentleman said he wished the pro- ceedings to be as private as possible, and that the solemni ty might not he interrupted by unnecessary display, and the pres nce of strangers. The Rev. Orntleman proceed ed to read the Church Morning Service, and afterwards delivered a most impressive and affecting discourse. wow had to lire. Ife said, he did nut wish .!rhurtell . to make any ecnfession to him; all lie implored 'the prisoner to do was to entleavoor to make his peace w.th his li,d. If the prisoner had any thing to iinpar, he should listen to it but if he had any special communication to make. lie would prefer that it shauld be made to the S ieriff. Ti.mt would he tine proper authority. At the same time, hr should willingly comply with any request male to him by the prisoner. All he anxiously desired was, that th.t pr:- goner should not lose the little time affarded him for re flection. Thurtell is stated to h tve listened to these ad monitions with grateful and respectful attention. Beside the interview which the prisoner had with his brother Thomas last night, the brothers saw each other this morning for • short interval. Thomas Martell also attended the Chapel. About une o'clock this day he li til his last interview with his brother, durinz which, althoigh deeply affected, he retained all his self-possession. The: parting scene was one which may be easily conceived; for notwithstanding his atrocious murder of his friend, this •extraorilinary man appears to have retained many of the softer and amiable dispositions of our nature. 'Thomas Thane!l was affected even to agony. At four o'clock it was understood the latter was to leave the Hertford prison for Landon. The horn announced the approach of the coach in which he was ta be conveyed, and the sepa ll - ration of these u'ibappy men became necessary. John Thurtell, apparently without exertion, lcissed his brother repeatedly; shook him warmly by the hand, and with a voice in which tenderness and deep feline were blended, said, " Gov bless you. Tom! There are nine of us to-day, •oortorroar there will be hut eight'!" Their hands were unclasped. John wiped a tear from his eye, anti Th omas was conducted to the coach bathed in tears. TIIE CONDEMNED SERMON. The text was taken from 2(1 Corinthians, chap. v. verse 10.—" For we must all appear before the ju scat of Christ; that every one nay receive the things done in his body a °cording to what he bath done, whether it to good or evil." 'f he Rrv. Chaplain commenced by ohserving, that St. Paul, in the chapter from which the text was taken, com menced by expressing his assured hope of immortality; and in expectance of that and of general judgement, he laboured to keep a good conscience, and to pre pare himself in the pilgrimage of life for the path of death. It was rather ex , raordinary that words exp in such pla'n and forcible terms, and coming from such a source, had not the effect which they onght to have in : the concerns of human life. The Heathen, from the force of natural reason, admitted the certainty of an hereafter, and acterqupon that opinion ; but be was sorry to say, that the Christian, who, in co:A rinatien of his natural reason, had the authority of Revelation, was often found indiffe rent to the doctrines of his holy religion. The 'inept-Linty of human Ile, and the inequalities of• its prospects, were . ' matter of such notoriety, that any man acquainted with the world must be astosiated how men often disregarded the sober troths laid down in the chapter from which this text was taken. The Rev. Chaplain then enlarged upon the incon slatency between the professeu belief of • Christian, a. d his general eun.:uet. Indeed, judging from the conduct of some Christians, it would appear that the hope of future rewards was as Inoperative as the terror of future punishments. The de scription of everlasting torments and the terrors of hell had been so often given, that it was not necessary for him now to repeat It, but he thought that the sober doctrines of reason were better calculated :Ilan high colouring. to impress upon the mind of the sincere Christian the necessity of acting npon St.Peul's dr.etrine, When the last trumpet should be sounded, and all mankind summoned into the presence of the Almighty God, to witness the distribution of final rewards and punlsitments.then I would the Christian who neglected to act upon the doctrine laid down in the text.expreas unfeigned regret,—then lie would wish that the time which he had unprofitably passed in this life were again to be passed by hip, but at that hour this regret would be of no avail. The Rev. Chaplain concluded, by incubating upon the convicts, in eloquent and impressive language, the necessity of making the best use of the few hours add left to them, to be prepared for the hour of tribulation. At t d he c e h o a l p i . - elusion ante Sermon.we understand that the Re Chap lain turned round to the prisoners under sentence of tcaaspor tation, and said. very emphutically We have this day been taeght en important lesson—we have been taught that—' The wages of Sin is death.' " During the service. Hunt seemed very munh affseted when the following prayer of the Litany was read : " That it may please thee to defend and provide for the fa therless esildren and widows, and all that are desolate and op pressed." Such was the impression made on Thurtell, inthe course, of this sermon, that he was repeatedly dissolved in tears as was Hunt. Indeed. the Rev. Ch iplain .hiffiself was so overcome by bis feelings, that he was frequently obliged to pause. the effect on the other auditors was not •iess ' strong-. On the conclusion of the Sermon, Thorn* tdrded roof d to Hunt and shook bands with him in the moat' , itier.dly manner. . They o ere then removed to their apart- mend. Thurtell shore l evidently that be had been duly imptesaed with the touching and eloquent discourse of the Rev. Chaplain ; yet was his step equally firm, his deport ment equally ratio and collected, as at any previous period. Hunt.: on the contrary, appeared to be totally unnerved— he walked or rather crept along, almost unconscious of existence. _ _ _ _ The Chaplain followed Thnrtell to his apartment, where he had some private conversation, amt n•e are happy to learn, found Mm Is that frame of mind which, in such • situation, above all others. was most desireble. Upon the subject of confession he offered no arguments. leaving the prisoner to the influence of his own failings. Thane!l made some communications, we undrrstand, but they have not yet been disclosed. In the end, however. he requested to have ao interview with the High Sheriff. Mr. Sutton, immediately sent down to the gaol on being apprised of Thurtelrs wish, and remained with him fat 0 consider- able time. The result of this interview will not transpire till after the execution. Mr. Sutton expressed his warm satisfaction at the manner in which the unhappy man eon• ducted himself. In the previens interviews between the Reverend M r Franklin and Thurte (we understand) the Chaplain. ie the most eanskluate manner. impressed on the primmes the necessity of makiakthe hest use of the short time b M NCELLANEOUS PARTICULARS. Two females, rather elderly in appearance, but appa rently of a respectable rank in life,who had taken lolgings here some time, went to the gaol bet night, & sent in a re• quest to be permitted to see nand!. am; aid not explain the motives of the application, and allowed it to be inferred that they were actuated only by connion curiosity. The application of course was denied. Prubert might base taken his departure on Wednesday night, but he preferred going to the gaol, as there sere many of Thurtell'e friends in the town whom he had s o desire to encounter. lie was this morning quitting the prison without paying same small debt which he owed Mr. Wilson—upon w - aieli that gentleman stopped him, soil insisted open being paid before he went. Probert, relitc• candy lint his hand in his pocket, and discharged the debt. On going forth, he turned towards the town, but got out of the main strict into Back Street, as soon as possible, manifestly wishing to escape the observation of any person who might inlet him. Thurtell, in speaking of this man, says, had as his own sitnetion is, he would not exchange feelings with him for worlds; the tortures of his mind, he says, must be almost insolferable. On quitting the gaol, he had scarcely a shilling in his pocket, and from the ratentent which he made of his oon participation in this business, he must'be for ever shut out from the pale of all respectable society. Ile proceeded to the White. Hart Inn, where Mrs. Peahen bad taken lodgings, and where she remained till his arrival. In the meeting of the husband and wife, after the scenes in which they have been engaged, tbere was little to excite the sympathy of the spectators. At 4 o'clock, tlrey started for town in' a post chaise, which had been provided for them at the expense of the Rev. Dr. Lloyd ; and lefi the Inn, with the blinds drawn up. The Under Sheriff yesterday applied to Rutliven ‘ the Bow street officer, for the coat and waistcoat and pistol which be produced, dring his evidence on the trial.— Ruthven refused to deliver them tip, and some warm con versation followed, the Under Sheriff asserting that they had become the property of the High Sheriff, in collie ; qnence of the capital conviction of Thortell. Itutliven per ' stated in his right to detain them, and did so in defiance of a threat to make application to Mr. Justice Park. it appears that Ruthven received notion front the assignees of Thnrtell, who is an uncertifierted bankrupt, to detain these things on their behalf, on the ground that the pro perty which he bad in hill prossession was legally the property of the assignees. We yesterday noticed the premature arrival of the Executioner from London in this town. It seem* that a requieet was sent to Mr. Wontner, the tinder of Neisgste, to send a proper man, in the event of his services becoming necessary; and this fellow, who is only deptry to the ordinary hangman, rseeived instructions to come down. Without loss of time lie set oft,hringing with bias g ropes and two caps. On Ws arrival in the town he proceeded so a public house, where he was soon recognized, and, on being quiestiened, gave a full account of his office, and of his mode of perforating his dreadful duties. Poe this in formation he received several duncenrs in money and liquor, and ultimately became intoxicated and fought with a coaehman During this quarrel his apparatus was stolen front him, and he was finally turned into the street. lie then went down to the gaol, where, as a matter of prudence, he was locked up, and will remain in the care of Mr.. Wilson till the time appointed for execution. Thomas 'Thurtell came to London last night, in Mr. Norrisss sage coach. It will be remembered that he had been taken down by a virtee of habeas Corpus as a wit ness for the Crown against his brother and Hunt. Ile had his last melancholy interview with the former' the night before the last, by permission of the Sheriff and Magistrates. lie rem mined since in the house of Mr. Wilson, and was taken up I tat night at the prison door. Ile sat inside, attended by Sunset, one of the turnkeys of Newgate; an-' other officer sat outside. The unhappy man cried much anti sighed deeply the whole way. lie held a dark hand kerchief to his fate. The coach drove down to St. Paul's Church Yard and up the Old Bailey to the prison door, where he and the of f icers stepped on. All the witnesses have now left town. Mr. Pfobatt, the !mikel of the Holden Cress, returned to town with the identical horse lts gig, its which the murder wrs committed; which, of course, were objects of attention to the persona in town. A min of a peculiar descriptions well known to have been a companion of Thurtell, appeared in town to day, and excited the curiosity of some of the Magistrates. There is not the remotest suspicion that any attempt would belosade to arrest the execution of the law. But there are stroug circulustences which make necessary to have t I 'V assistance of additional officers. Bishop, Rutliven, an l Upson. of Bow Street, are direct to remain in town until after the execution. A gentleman arrived here this day front the University of Cambridge, who is a Member of the College to which the Rev, J. C. Colton belongs. This iientleinan applied mo Thurtell through the Rev. -- Franklin, to ascertain the fate of Colton. Thurtell replied, that he had no knowledge whatever of Mr. Colton (meaning that he knew nut what had become of pith)—but Mr. --- said that lie recollected having heard Thurtell es,y, that if any person could give the information sought for, it waa Mr. This communication corroborates that to which we were previously is possession, and which went farther, namely, that it was. Thurtell's intention to cross examine Mr. (who, it was expected would have been produced as A witness against him) and respecting air. Whoa and 1104310.ptiser persons, Whine names have been men:lowed in some of the newspaper. In the awns of the day. the Chaplain eipeasseda wish l'hartell's desire) thatlbuitell should be secoomod .sted with a newspaper, which his father was in the habit os rb.ding, lur tbe porpote of seeing the manner in *Filch M N Justice Parks cosanseadation of bis defence bail been reported.

The Chaplain again saw the prisoner at a Ist, hour this evening. and still found tint perfectly calm and resigaerl, and expresses his desire to-the teralhation of his sufferings in this world.

He believes that his fat- is to he sealed in the morning, and he is preparing for death, but in a state of great agony and eftliati4tion. PLt.CE OF EXECUTION. A meeting of the in reistrates troll held this morning, at which the•ploce w here, and the time when, sentence shall be *executed upon Thurtell was taken into consideration.— It was finally resolved that the culprit shout' be executed at 12 o'clock to morrow,an front of the centre door (which is called the '• Mill," or " Tread door") of the gal!, •snd riot in the field or gravel pit, opposite the prison, where malefactors are usually executed. 'lke workmen hare b.es employed since half past two o'clock in making the n.•ces. sary preparations fur the erection of a n-w gallows and drop; hut it will not be omph ted until 4 o'clock in the morn• ing. Thartell is in a pa•t olds- prison where the 'dreadful note of the preparation" is not likely to mar his meditarten.. Theeountry in the neighbourhood being very level, the view of the execution will be necessarily restrice-d to those who may have stiength and hardilto td seh3c •lent to force their way near the scaffold. The prisoner will ascend to it immediately after passing through the door of the outer wall, and will. not be seen by the spectator; until his appearance upon the fatal drop. 'l'be scaffold i t 16 or IS feet io height, 35 or 40 feet lung, and about lit feet deep : the fill would be so great as to secure the almost immediate extinction of the sufferer's life. The hotly will be presented to Mr. Uollieck,sorgeon, of this town ; but it is reported that the operation to which► it will besuhjrcted will ne only such as to comply formally with the sentence of the law. The execution will take place at twelve o'cloi k precisely. The officers, constables, and javelin men are ordered to attend at ten o'clock. Ituthven, bishop, and Upson (flow Street Officers) have been retained by the request of the Magistrate., and will rernain•ltere until the completion of the fatal catastrophe. Thurtell is not expected to address the people from the scaffold.--The Whole posse comilalus have been summoned to attend on this occasion; bait to judge from the conduct of a portion of that body at the Uoort-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 every body most ap,sr.ive of the abandonment of an intention which, it is rumoured, was once entertained— that or calling on the Yeomanry for their assistance.

A meeting of • the in rgistrates sets held this morning, at which the•place where, and the time when, sentence shad be *executed upon Thurtell was taken into consideratioo.— It was finally resolved that the culprit should br execute; at 12 o'clock to morrow,an front of the centre doar (whirl: is called the '• Mill," or " Treed atilt door") of the ea.,', •snd riot in the field or gravel pit, opposite the prison, where malefactors are usually executed.

Thurtell is in a pa•t oldie prison where the 'dreadful note of the preparation" is not likely to mar his rneditatten4. Therountry in the neighbourhood being very level, the view i of the execution will be necessarily restricted to those 1 who may have stiength and hardiho ad sell ient to force their way near the scaffold. The prisoner will ascend to it immediately after passing through the door of the 1 outer wall, and will. not be seen by the spectator; until his appearance upon the fatal drop.

The execution will take piece at twelve 1 o'clo. k precisely. The officers, constables, and javelin I men are ordered to attend at ten o'clock. Ruthven, bishop, and Upson (flow Street Officers) have been retained fw the request of the Magistrate., and will remain•liere until the completion of the fatal catastrophe. Thurtell is not I expected to address the people from the scaffo!d. --The whole posse comilalus have been summoned to attend on ibis occasion; but to judge from the conduct of a portion of that body at the Court-house, they are more likely to ' create disorder than to repress it.
