we again devote a very large portion of our
columns to the details respecting the judicial
proceedings at Hertford against the murderers
of. Mr. WEARE. We expect to receive, by
express, an account of the execution of
Muriel% ; and we shall lose no time
in laying the appalling particulars before
the Public in a Second Edition. Our own
Reporters, as well as those for the other
newspapers, being immediate spectators of Thur-
tell's conduct, have, we perceive, from their
feelings of humanity being deeply interested
by his dreadful situation, invested him with
an appearance of moral dignity, to which the
atrocity of his crime, and the general charac-
ter of his life, by no means entitle him, and
Which, as it is calculated to create a danger-
ous illusion of the public mind, it is our
duty, as Journalists, to dispel. Perhaps no
culprit who has excited much public atten-
tion, was ever less entitled to pity for his fate
than the barbarous man who has this morning
suffered the penalty of his crimes. Even the firm-
Ile") and energy, and pathos, with which he de-
liveretl
his defence and conducted himself during
his trial) are only additional proofs of the daring
and hardened viliany of his heart and character.
In the latter years of his life, the deep and de-
signing nature of his mind, and of the schemes in
which he Was engaged, together with the deter-
mined ferocity of his character, rendered him
equally the terror of his companions and
0f his enemies. In his defence on his trial,
his solemn appeals to Holy Writ and to GOD,
in protestation of his innocence, are only
calculated to produce, in every well-regu-
lated mind, sensations of unmingled horror for
the guilty and wretched being by whom they
were uttered.

A Council was held yesterday at the house of
the LORD Cuar.icr.cLoit, in Hamilton-place, when
the claim of hunt to the Royal mercy, on ac-

j°" Grt4 N )ST.E, EsQ., M. P.—Many of the
most respectable inhabitants of Liverpool have
met for the purpose of considering of the best
modee of conveying some testimonial of their
•pect to this Gentleman. Mr. GLADSTONE
IS One of the most active and intelligent
'aPporters of Mr. CANNING, a strong recom-
tosndation of his good sense and sound prin-
:lid", and is in all respects a character fully
i' lltitled to the esteem of the public, as well as of
fellow townsmen in that great, and flourishing
itiporititn, Liverpool.

from a German Paper, the intellience of a very
atrocious outrage alleged to have been offered to
the British Flag by a Tunisian frigate, and to the
person of our Consul at Tunis. We are sorry
to learn that this unpleasant information is con-
firmed by a letter from Malta, dated the 16th ult.
and received in London yesterday. At the date
of the letter from Malta, there were twelve
British pendants flying in the harbour, the Sybelle
frigate having arrived on the preceding day.—
This formidable naval armament, it was gene-
rally understood, would immediately, on the
arrival of Sir H. B. NEALE, in the Revenge,
proceed to Tunis with the intention of demand-
ing satisfaction from the BEY, for the gross atro-
cities which are said to have been perpetrated in
his name.

A letter from Leghorn, dated December 18,
contains the following statement :—" An English
vessel, bound from the Greek Islands for Malta,
had on hoard 80 Greek passengers. A Tunisian
frigate stopped this vessel at sea, and demanded
that the Greeks should be given up. The Eng-
lish Captain refused. On this the Tunisian
Captain sent a boat, well armed, which took
away the Greeks by main force. The English
Captain immediately sailed for Malta, and gave
an account of this affair. A swift sailing vessel
was immediately dispatched to Tunis to demand
the release of the Greeks. It was announced
that they were subjects of the Porte ; that con-
sequeutly they ought to be considered as rebels ;
and that they would ❑ot be given up, because
they had already undergone their fate. We do
not know what has become of the English Con-
sul, who zealously interested himself in the fate
of these unfortunate people. A statement of the
affair has been sent to London."—(German
Paper.)
