Indeed it put us strongly in mind of our neighbours on the Continent, when about to witness a bull bait, or some other of their favourite amusements. Exchisive of this number, the neighbouring lieldA, avenues, arid various 6-Ida leading to the jail, were covered %%Alt numerous groups, and turn the eye what way you would, there were still to he discover ea large bodies of indicideaN anxiously approaching to behold the tin il doom of this otillippy malt. We o ill not be Emelt out, perhaps, when we !say the aggregate number was at least twenty thoostind spuds. At half past 10 o'clock, a shock was experienced among the crowd in consequence of the breaking down of a cattle shed which fronted the gaol, on the too of which were msenobled neatly 11)0 Arsons; ten persons were more or less injured, three or four we understand were severely hurt, one, servant of a person gamed Uullina, had his thigh broken, and another his arm. A patty of constables were immediately sent to the spot, and the sufferers were in slimly conveyed to the hospital. The Nigh Constable was on horseback•during the morn ing awl directed the Police Tire oiScers anti other constables were under the imme.

It is confidently asserted that Hunt has eal•le a full con Cession to Mc Hamner. and Os it he observed to him thr foolishness of Pt uctell not declaring his guilt, whent e was so. well aware that he was the perpetrator. The following particulars, we have Collected to day. respo . rting, among o'hrr •pings. THE DISPOSAL_ OF TIIIL BODY, AND. THE 'PRO. PEATY OF Tiluirriir.r. When. the critni lal hail, bcat suspended in hour, Mr. Nicholson returned to the spat. • The hangman went on the scaffold, untied the rope, and lowered IL body. It was then, by the direction of the Under Plieriff, ranted into the chapel, and laid on a stage, foritied . n! • tressels and boards. a bible being placed under the head. Ihe cloth. a which the unhappy wan had worn were taken iff, an I his remains were covered with a horse cloth, or coarse rug. The corpse was considered to be a remarkable fine subject. The limits nere peculiarly well formed, and the depth of chest from back to front was particularly noticed. The mark wade by the rope round the neck was stronger than moat, proltahly from the depth the criminal had faded. The neck ha I been completely dislocated, the spine ! peered ; the mo u th an d eyes were open ; a little water appeared on the lips bun to hl sod. After a short time the countenance regaitte:l much of its former appearance. The age of the criminal, it is said, was only thirty. The clothes of the criminal were ordered to he pit into a bag and sent off to Tho nes Thurtell in Ne. s gatP. it is customary to corhitler the gaint-nts is which a e I irit dies the perquisite of the executioner. As the man ho offs isted on this occasion was denied what he expected to ciatut, Jlr. Nicholsou direited Mr. Wilson to make him a c unpruse thin in an nay. Every thing co 'awed with tile aaor of ' Thurtell is deemed curious—a considerable suns, it has un. derstood, had been offered for the hatter in which lie pe r;shed. It was, however, not thought advisable to respe. t this folly, and the I:itiler Sheriff aecurdingly ordered the rope to he burtit.While alluding to these things as relics,it may not be uninteresting to state, that nn %tie Thursday night, when Mr. Wilson jun. was taking his leave of Thurtell,he begged to be favoured with a luck of his hair. Thurtell smiled, and readily assented, observing, lie was sorry to say that wits the only p-operty now in his posses lion; suddenly tecoilevting himself, hoe ever, he sai , .• Oh yes, I have got a snuffbox, a plain one certainly, but 1 hope you will accept it for my sake." Mr. Wilson accepted the box, and left the room deeply affecte I. The body of the murderer is to be rico to Thema, Colheck, Esq., the Mayor of Hertford and Surgeon to the prison. The remainder of the sentence wi I be carried into effect; but as the law does not restrict the Authorities to place, only so much as can he conveniently executed in Hartford will be dons there. It is, however, understood that it will be font girded to Bsrtbolomew's Hospital, an undertaking bring first obtained for the complete dissection. The sufferer will be reduced to a skeleton, and in this state is expected to return to Hertford, as the property of the gentleman to whom the body seas in the first instance given. Application has been made for a cast of the coon termoce. % This has been refused, front regard to the feelings of Thin Cell's family, to whom it could not be other than painful to know the likeness of their relation so uahappily distinguished, exhibited in the metropolis and every, part of the country. A cast of the back of the head is to be taken at the reqnest of D a r. Dude, for the use of the Craniological Society. So Irmo has been conceded to curioeity, as this may by possibility contribute to the advancement of science.—Since conviction ho has he. quendy expressed much anxiety to spare his family uneasi ness on his account. lie bat been psttieularly desirous not to bare busts or other likenesses preserved to add to their affliction and humiliation. A letter was received from ?hurled yesterday morning. by the High Sheriff, desiting bins to obtain his air - gaol now detained at Bow Street, nod give the same to Mr..' Wilson. He trdsted the Sheriff would be able to comply with this “ his halt request." -la consequence of this letter , an application may be expected - to be wade at now Strut t, this. day, by the High Sberiff;'erbois willing to pureltase,• irratber than fail to carry date effect the wish• shoots ., pressed. "infertvraw 3ILTMFB74 THURTELL AND Tea etas sttsadrr; The commonication which the prisoner - Touren was so argent to us .Ise to the High Sheriff. was to the following effect 4 hoeing bespoke* the compassionate consideratios t of an giolted ()dicer of the Crown, towards an unb ippy victim like myself, the wretched culprit preferred a request that his body, after death, might not he handed over to the surgeons for dissection. He impressed upon the sheriffs that he had no tears ur prejodicet upon such a subject, and that his only motive for entreating his interference at a.I was, out of some compunction which he entertained in the declining moments of life, towards the feelings of his un• happy parents. "It is not for niyielf," said lie, " that I speak. I have no 'tread of their tatting me about when I am gone ; it is for others that I feel. The answer of the Molt Sheriff. though painful to him to mike to an argot.. (unarm being in the situation of the prisoner; was the only one which the proper discharge of hie duty would allow him to make. He assured him, that he was not insensible, to the nature of the appeal which bail been addressed to him,aud which he had come with the utmost readiness to listen. to ; but that it would be reprehensible in him, were be fur one moment to 'leave the pri• stoner in the false hope that iris interposition in suels a matter should be of any avail. He was but an Officer of the Crown, who bad no power to Control or amend its injunctions, but whore sole duty was to see its commands strictly executed. It w:1 not, therefore, to h;m, that each a petition should be preferred, but to the Crown. The 'Sheriff then asked hilts if he had any cool• plaints to wake, or any observations to offer upon any other topic. . The prisoner answered that he had no ne ; be was perfectly satisfied. with the conduct of all those per sons who had exercised power over him since his eppre• !tension, and was fully resigned to the fate which awaited him. He was ansious, if possible, to abbreviate the time which must elaose before bib execution; and the only feel• ing which oparessed hint was a sense of the degradation to which he ha I beets brought, in the I suer d rya of his life, which affected those lie was about to leave behind him more than himself. He once more expressed his abhor rence of the conduct and character of his late associate, Probert, with whom, lie said, he would not exchange places for any thing life could afford. the spoke with mock feeling about his falter and modier, and family, whom he had. wished to see before lie finaily left the world. When receiving the Sacramen*, Tisortell manifested much devotiood and when this ended it became siceeisaty and Hunt, who with Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Wilson, and the Utopians had partaken of this ordinance, to take leave of each other. Their adieus were solemn and affect. inc, thus piling. the one to praceed to irritant death, the other to follow he knew not how soon. Thu:tell shook hunt by the hand with every appearance of cordiality, and used these words, •• hind bless you, Hunt, I hope yoa will have a reprieve." Hurst was deeply affected ant in tears. Thurtell was firm the whole time; bust though cairn aud. steady, it was remarked that he was its a cold sweat.—Tnis indeed was observable from the tense when the Under Sheriff entered the cell, and rip to the moment when the miserable man was led out to die. He yesterday morning wrote two letters; one to Mr. Fenton, his ettorney ; the other to his brother 'Thomas Thurtell directed to him to the care of Mr. Wontaer, "Governor of his Majesty's Gaol of Newgate, lootitou." These letters lie conlided to Mr. Wilson, who will forward them. UTINDDICLARATION OF JonY TDURTELL.—lramediately after the Sacrament had been administered every person left the chapel, with the exception of Muriel' and Mr. Wilson, who thus addressed him with great solemnity:— " Mr. Thurtell, there is one subject that I feel it my duty to refer to, arid which requires your urost serious consi• deratieo, (the prisouer was evidently startled by this solemn prelude)— we are now alone, without any ot..er rye to witness whatever shall pass between us except that of Almighty God Ido not ask you to make any con fession; but if you have any declaration to make, or any expression of your feeling with respect to the !mullein e of the lase under e !rich you are about to suffer, this is the most fit and proper time to snake it." After a moment's pause, the prisoner, with a firm voice, and extraordinary fervour, said—" lam quite satisfied!—l forgive every belly-1 die in peace tvitn all mankind; and that is a I - wish 'hold,' go forth to tire world:" When speaking to hint on this subject previously the R•verend Chaplain told I wish not to extract any confession from you —a sq:ieese of the hand Will ettlice to inulieate your admissioa that justice has been done to yon."—Wittiont resorting. to a gestdre, the prisoner repeatedly admitted that justice had been done him. Here then is all that can ever be known of tire prisoner's guilt by Isis own adrisiasion, sod thus have all our hopes of a full, candid, and contrite confession of all the circusw shames of the horrible murder committed by him been frustrated. In the suppression of these horrid details we think it probable that Thurtell may hare been influenced by a ivies* to save his friends frosu many a pang. and to decrease by his silence that ignominy that most ever attach to him, & which he erroneosly believed might relict upon his family and friends. We have reason to fear, that an apologist for, if not an eulogist of this man, who has sr qutired so shocking a celebrity; will appear in the columns of the Public Press; but although we are not inclined to exaggerate his crime, neither eras we dissemble our regret at Isis refraining from inakiog to society the reparation in his p twee, and from giving that unequivocal proof of COW. punction, sincere penitence, and humility—a full And frank confession. _ 11AAltiuttu J'A KS. 1 ST.

SWEDEN, Dec. 23.—The closing of the Diet took plass yesterlay, with a long speecb from the King. There have arrived at Toulouse several detachments of gendaren s, to do duty on the Pyrenees. We are propelled by a sense of humanity to give pre cedence of all other subjects to a few observations apes the actin brought yesterday in the Court of King's &nch by Sir Gregor Mac Gregor, against the Prourie:ors of the Morning Ile.•ald, for publishing reports of those heart. rending cases which were brought before the Lord Mayor, of widows and orphans he bad returned from their disastrous voyage to the Poyais Territory. The trial has fully established the truth of those reports, and it 'it s developed a :scene of traod and inhumanity almost une qualled in the annals of human guilt. This Iran, calling himself Sir Gregor Mac Gregor, or Sovereign of Poyaisis order to gratify his schemes of personal advantage, has resorted to the most Missive arts to in dove his feitow creatures to part with their property, to quit their home•, and to repair to an nnwhokeonte savage ell.] ; even the ravages of disease, and the unexampled sufferings of widows and orphans, ,heft destitute by h's schemes, have not induced him to abandon his designs. His assumption of any right of sovereignty over Poyais, turns out to haVe been groundless ; and the work in, praise of the country, by which he induced his victims to part with their property and to venture i ntoth at wretched settlement is proved to have been the production of his own pen. These, aid similar acts of criminality, proved in the course of the trial, have afflicted some scores of persons to degree compared to whieli the sadden deprivation of life would have been positive mercy. Deficient must be our penal laws, if they can indict no punishment for such offences. lint we trust that the full exposure of this whole transaction by the Press, will guard persons in future from becoming the victims of such unauthorised schemes of colonisation. The Colonial Office must bare been well aware, of Sir Gregor M'Gregor's designs, and of the misery they would inflict upon his deluded followers — surely humanity should have induced that department to earn the public of their danger, if its duty did not prompt it officially to check the criminal (proceedings of the ad venturer. The Kingdom of France has had the Ironor of producing the first of the political economists, and by the develope • ~sent of whose notions of the freedom of trade, Adam Smith acquired all his celebrity. Dot a prophet is never acknowledged in his own country, and while De Ques nay's and Adam Suoitlesprinciples of trade are adopting in this country with accelerated speed, France continues Ignorant of those principles, and obsti nately adheres to the antiquated system of comti►ercial restrictions. The King of France bas published an ordinance direct• ing the formation of a Council of Commerce and of Culu• nits, which is.to be charged with the" successive 4nfllior'• ties" of the tegnlations of foreign commerce, and a bureau is to be formed for collecting facts and data for the infor • motion of this council. Tae ordinance speaks of project•, of laws, and projects of ordinances regarding customs. &c. Btc. Here, then, we have all the jargon and all the machinery of thsold system. Commercial data are to be eelleeted into a focus, where a presiding mind (`ome costlier) is to digest them, aed then in his plenitude of Information and wisdom, toll arm his endless projects of laws sad ordinances to force tridefrom, or into whst Awn molt by may Ibicsk At, The progress of not iatitutel? b ~ ~ liali
