TH t Cowvicr HINT.—The sh-oeking ruffian has been
doettle-ironed at Woolwich since the Sunday before last. Upon
thlit day, when he and the other convicts were in the chapel of the
vossid where he has been confined, there was sonic little delay on
the pert of the clergyman ; Hunt began to hum a tune, sad some
of has brethren called out to him for the song which he had sung'
cur Mts. Peaher immediately after the murder. Without hesita-
tion, he began to sing the first part of the duet of " All's IVell,'
anti was vehemently applauded by his depraved congregation. The
ssperintendent, however. upon hearing of the eireumstance,ordered
INDS to be double-ironed, and in that condition he now remains.
A,gernieman, who •as acquainted with him when be was -propel-'
.cur of the Army and Navy coffee-house in St. 31a:tin's-hole, I
soot to Woolwich to ascertain whether the public report, that he ,
ion was as full of levity and carelessness as before the murder had
taken place, was true. Hunt held out his hard to his visiter, but I
titt honour was declined, and Hunt laughed at what be called " be.
tog go d._.—d particular." " You could not expect," said the .
ssi../zr, .. that I male here as an acquaintance of yours : 1 can't
Wilke hands with so dreadful a character." Hunt said he had not
dope the trick, •' it was Jack and Bill, and they did it together,
Vas sure. I'd swear that they were both together when the man
was murdered." rime conversation then took place about the ex- ,
ecution of John ThuneU, and Hunt said,: D—n his elm ;
Jack ought to hove been hanged lung ago. me has silenced many
