THURTELL'S BROTHER.

[Further Particulars.]
Bow-STREET.-Henry Thurtell,. a. brother of
that man whose name has become so unfortunately known to
the public, was'yesterday brought before Mr. HALLS, charged
with taking a watch, the property of Bradbee, the land-
lord of the White Swan, Bream's Buildings, Chancery.lane.
From the circumstances detailed in evidence, it appeared,
that the prisoner had gone to the house of the prosecutor, in a
state of intoxication : he sat down in the bar, and laying his um-
brella on the counter, took a silver watch from a nail on which it
was hanging. He then walked out of the house, telling the land-
lord to follow him to the White Lion, 'White's Alley, Chancery
Lane, where he would find him and the watch. The landlord not
being disposed to obey this summons, he gave an alarm, and
Thurtell was pursued to the house to which he had given the di-
rection. There he was taken into custody. He immediately
gave up the watch, saying, he had taken it in a joke. The prose-
cutor said he really believed he had taken his property in a joke.
Mr. Halls asked Thurtell what he had been ?—Thurtell. In
his Majesty's Navy.—Mr. Halls : How long have you been
in that service P—Thurtell : Four years, Sir. If you will ex-
amine the papers found on me when I was taken, you will see
the character I bore. The Magistrate read most of the documents,
and continued : I perceive you receive here a very excellent
character from Admiral What have you to say in your
defence ?—Thurtell, Nothing, Sir. I wish to go.—Mr. Halls :
My motive for asking you what you have to say is, that if I
should find it necessary to send you for trial, you may have a full
oppbrtunity of now disclosing every circumstance which may ex-
ist in your favour.—Thurtell : I have nothing to say. I took
the watch in joke.-111r. Halls : Now, should you be discharged,
what security have I that you will conduct yourself for the fu-
ture in a manner suitable to 'the character you bore before this
event took place?—Thurtell (sighing heavily and vainly attempt-
ing to prevent the tears from trickling down his weather-beaten
and care-worn countenance): .When I arrived from abroad, I
found that my unfortunate brother's conduct had covered my
name with disgrace. My friends turned their backs upon me.
:They refused to hold any converse with me. I thus became an
outcast from society, and 'I cared not what became of me. (Hee
could contain his feelings no longer. He wept bitterly, and en-
deavoured to conceal his anguish with his hands.)—Mr. Halls
asked him if he had any prospect of going to sea again ? He
;said lie had. The Magistrate then directed him to be discharg-
ed, . merely recommending him to remove himself as soon as
possible from the scene of his misfortunes.—Thurtell bowed, 1
and retired. Throughout the unhappy man's address, scarce a
:person in the office could refrain from sympathizing with him in
a very marked manner.

• . The increased value of, building ground on the West Cliff;
'at Brighton, will be put to the test to-morrow, by the judicious
:division of the Count St. Antonio's extensive grounds on that
'favoured Cliff. It is the first occasion when public competition
'will have to determine the improved state of land at this fashion.
able watering place.
The greater number of the creditors of Mr:
LONG WELLESLEY, whose demands were under the sum of
2QOI. have recently been paid in full ; and whose demands were
,above that amount, and who signed the Trust Deed, have al-
ready received 10s. in the pound : and will shortly receive the
remainder. Mr. LONG WELLESLEY is expected in Eng.
.land about the month of September or October next. Airs.
"WELLESLEY, and the three children are now at Draycot,
where Mr. W. will then join them.—( Devizes Gazette.)

LORD BYRON, and the ILLUSTRATOR of Os-
STAN'S POESIS.--,-It is not generally known that
Mr. CAMPBELL received the thanks of the Royal
Humane Society in 1820, for having, by great
personal exertions and superior swimming, nt
different periods, saved the lives of three of his
Majesty's subjects, when drowning, at the im-
minent risk of his own. Nor is it generally
known, that after the publication of Lord 1.3 v -
RON'S Letter, on Mr. TURNER'S unsuccessful at-
tempt to swim from shore to shore of the Helles-
pont, Mr. CAMPBELL was encouraged, 'by his
friends, to challenge Lord BYRON (in an ami-
cable manner) for 1,0001., or fame to the victor,
to swim against him in the waters of the Helles-
pont, the Tagus, or the Thames ; and give his
Lordship ten minutes start. There never was any
notice taken of the Letter. These facts are pub-
licly mentioned, for the first time, to the credit
of a worthy member of Society, by one who was
then in Mr. CAMPBELL'S confidence ; and who
knows, from other authority, that he swam across
the Tagus, at the same point, and in half the
time consumed by Lord BYRON, in the same
proceeding.
