COLONEL. BZUKELEY TO MISS rooTE.

" Wednesday, March 24, 1024.
" Having hinted yesterday I had only time to say that what
money may be wanting for thy removal, thou mayest com-
mand, if 1 have it.—ln answer to thy letter of Monday, I deny
that I ever made a promise to thee that it was not my intention
to fulfil, unless prevented by circumstances which I could no.
controul, or thy own conduct. This is my answer to tin
charge, and Io defy thee to disprove it. Now, to my charg:
against thee. After having lived with thee and loved the!.
faithfully, more than five years (during the three last of which
thou ditist repeatedly urge me both orally and by letter to tak
thee off the stage, and permit thee to live with me openly and
avowedly as my mistress), thou callest on me to make thee my
wife, or (mark the alternative) thou statest thy determination
to quit me altogether. I will not stop to inquire generally
into the justice of such a demand, but I must be permitted to
I examine the particular and relative situations of each other n'
the period this demand was made. It is quite clear, that a
compliance with this demand could only result from th.
strongest nffection on my side, and a conviction that thy loye
for me flourished, at least, in all its former vigour, and that is
was not on the wane. Could such a fact evenliere have bee:a
suspected, thou must have presumed on my being one of de.
most abject and weakest of men, to have acceded to thy. pro.
proposal. And yet I defy the most ingenious sophister to prow
that thy airection is equal to what it was. It was strong enotiO
to induce thee to wish for an open avowal of an Intercours r.
which, at most, can only be suspected. It is now weak enough
to enable thee to propose a total separation ; so much for af-
fection. Now for conduct. &person callin himself Mr.
ratio Claggett had (as was admitted by thyself, thy father, and
mother) some kind of pretensions towards thee. That thee:
were what is called' honourable,' is a farce to suppose, as thou
knowest that he went to the kitchen to inquire how long thou;
hadst been my mistress, and when I was, going out of town;'
and in consequence, such a letter was written by thee to him•
as to preclude all intercourse, direct or Indirect, between you.,
Yet this very person (with avowed designs on thee) was fre-'
quently admitted to thy house within this year (without my
knowledge) and thy mother and most intimate friends were re-
ceiving boxes at the play from him, and pursuing a line of
conduct debasing to thee, revolting to me, and which was ab-
solute encouragement to this Mr. Claggett.
A. similar plan was pursued to a Mr. Pen Green Bayne..._
If the facts I have here stated are incorrect, thou canst easily
show me how or where. If correct, I humbly submit that thou
hest no right to complain of my conduct."
London, England, 1824-12-25

COLONEL BERKELEY TO MM:FOOTE.

" Sunday, March 91,-1024.
" I utterly deny. that I have ever done an unkind act by
thee. For nearly six years I have loved thee with,the truest
affection. Thou bast not repaid that affection with the truth
and love • that it has deserved. I know more than thou
supposeat.'
London, England, 1824-12-25

MISS COLOWEI..IIERKELLY

" Monday, Dec. 8, 1823.
"At our last interview I have no doubt you left me with an
idea that 1 was coming to the Castle. Finding it was in Vain
to contend,. I was induced to suffer you to depart under that
inirircss,ion. For my retutons Mr riot coming, I refer you to
the letter I sent you on Thuritday last (Dec. 4),.your reply
to which deceived me into an interview. You said. •If I come
to your house, it will be to accede to. your request.' 10 nO in-
stance did ydu fulfil your promise ! I therefore am nut coining
to the Castle."
London, England, 1824-12-25

COLONEL BERKELEY TO MISS FOOTE.

" Sunday, June 20.
" I utterly deny that I have heaped misery or distresses'
on you. The distresses that are about to come are of your
own creating, and not of mine; neither have I 4 insulted'
you. But I have written plain truths, which are disagreeable
because they are undeniable. One circumstance I must again
take the liberty to notice, without any intention, however, of
insulting.' In November you told me that no power on
earth should induce you to return to the stage, stating as one
reason for such determination, among many others the insults
you were there exposed to. 'W'ill those insults become fewer
when it becomes generally known that the intercourse between
you and me is at an end ? And does not this vacillation of
purpose warrant me in concluding that some other very good
resolutions which you now entertain may also from circum-
stances be changed, and render you an unfit guardian for the
girls ? To the youngest they may not immediately apply
but the eldest is already of an age when first impressions will
with difficulty be erased ; and with regard to her I shall very
speedily adopt some decisive measures,—with your consent—l
hope, but without, should I deem it necessary. I never charged
your father or mother with wishing to encourage any one on
dishonourable terms; but the absurdity and indelicacy of their
conduct will always induce your followers to try to have you on
such terms, to say nothing of your name having been already
coupled with mine and Lord Worcester's. By the by, the
mention of that nobleman's name prompts ins to ask, what
honourable purpose your father and mother could have !nut in
view in encouraging his attentions (then a married man), and
in suffering him to carry these to such a point, that I, and nine•
tenths of tha world, firmly believed that you were his mistress ?
R I
re
I may then be acquainted with the': proposed residence and
gluleiastvetonobtehini,giiii,lromwedfurwtrerntoyoturouarlbeveyoiun with, but thatthat
future plan of life for the girls, which must be determined
on with an convenient speed. I quite agree with you that I
have no right to inquire into the pretensions of any one to-
wards you, and that you are as completely independent of me
as you can possibly wish to be ;—that is, if you give up the
children, which Iliad rather you did at once. But if I suffer them
to remain with you, I shall take upon myself to examine the
pretensions of every one with the strictest scrutiny ; and I give
you fair notice, that I will not be trifled with,• either on the
subject of Mr. Uwe or any one else, nor be put off with the
subterfuge of theiebeing your father's friends; and therefore
I peremptorily repeat my demand of being informed of the
nature of the proposals mentioned in my last letter. If this de-
mand is not complied with, I shall, without loss of time, apply
to have the children given up to me."
London, England, 1824-12-25

MISS FOOTE TO COLONEL BERKELEY.

" Friday, June 10.
" I received your letter this morning, and am much obliged
to you for the 50/. enclosed in it. But there are many things
in that letter that I wish you had spared me the pang they
gave me to peruse. I think you have heaped miseries and dis-
tresses enough upon me already, without insulting me. The
indelicate observation you made in November on my future
prospects if I separated myself from you, I had not forgotten.
You need not have reminded me. If 1 cannot make up my
mind to.be your mistress, depend on it 1 shall not be tho mis-
tress of any other. I think you must have mistaken me; for
when I asked you about my debts, I certainly did not expect
you to pay any debts contracted by me after our engagement
is at an end. You might have refused it, without making use
of such an indecent and insulting expression. But do not fear :
I shall not any longer be a burden to you. I never shall again
apply to you to pay those debts ; for 1 would rather go to prison
and remain there the remainder of my wretched life. %Vith
respect to the children, I shall consider it my duty to give you
every opportunity of seeing them at all times, and of your pro.
!noting their future welfare and prosperity ; but I can never
consent to their being entirely separated from me ; and I am
sure you could not be so unfeeling as to propose such a
measure. I shall only remain here as long as it is neces-
sary ; and my future occupation will be the profession 1 have
been for a time driven from by most unfortunate circumstances,
and which, though 1 ever disliked, affords me the only means
of supporting myself and family. Whatever I might have
said in my last with regard to the direction of your letter to
Keppel.street, I had no intention whatever of concealing my
abode from you. The points in my letter respecting my father
land Mr. Rayne, Ido not feel competent to answer. I can only
lay, that I merely look upon him as a friend and acquaintance
or my father's. 1 cannot help what the world may choose to
consider him, and Ido not consider that my father (whom I
have only seen once for these last three months) would consider
you were now entitled to make inquiries, having refused to
marry me yourself. I must, however, say, in justice to my
father and mother, (whose conduct you so much condemn),
that I am convinced they never did, nor ever would wish
to encourage or introduce any person to me on a dishonourable
footing. My picture is at Mr. Lupton the engraver's; I for-
get the name of the street, but it is somewhere near Burton-
crescent. As to the minature you have heard is in the posses-
sion of Mr. Hanes, I know nothing of, nor how he came pos-
sessed of it. You say you still love me tenderly ; you must
forgive me if I doubt that-_I have had no proofs for a long
time of such a feeling, and a man never would insult a wo-
man whom he loved tenderly."

Berkeley-House, Thursday, May 13, 1824.
" I left Cheltenham last Saturday week, and arrived here
last Tuesday. I have never made an excuse respecting thee.—
I have spoken downright truths. I have ever loved thee ho-
nestly and faithfully, and I never kept a secret from thee in my
life, even concerning those affairs which concerned me and my
family most nearly. This place makes me feel thy absence se-
verely, but thou abandonest me,—not I thee."

" I wish I could cheer thee, and that I do not is thy own

portance to me, if thou thmkcst that hereafter any sort of con-
nexion or communication is to be kept up between us : the se-
cond (though but of little consequence in comparison with the
first) relates to a matter, which if true, ',did expect to have
been made acquainted with. To the first then. Arc you aware

" My dearest Berkeley,—How canet thou imagine I have
plated my affections elsewhere ? Setting aside every other feel.
mg, consider my present situation, which is certain ; and then
canst thou doubt ? 1 solemnly assure thee. that my affections
are, as they have ever been, firmly fixed on thee ; and that I
have no wish in the world but to become thy wife. As to my
plans and intentions, what can they be under existing circum-
stances ? That' lam wretched thou mayest suppose. It is in
thy power and thine only to restore me to happiness, and no-
thing shall keep me from.thee, if thou wilt write to me and tell
me that thou wilt marry me, and name the exact time when it
shall take place, and which must be before there is another liv-
ing claim on thee. ltlithotit this assurance from thee, there is
nothing. that.would induce .me to see thee agaih : foe 1 shall
feel convinced, if you hestlate in giving it to me, that you will
never make me your wife ; and, all the misery I have endured
and still endure, I might again-have to cncouuter. '.Chou wilt
'find me firm in my resolution. Thou wilt also find that lam
firm in my 'attachment to thee. Do not doubt . me, dearest

EXECUTION OF• JOHN THURTELL.
We stop the press to state the following brief
account of the EXECUTION of JOHN THUizTELL,
and shat} give a copious detail of all the circum-
stances to-moerow :
At 12 o'clock, Mr. Nrcrtor.soN, the Under-
Sheriff, made his appearance on the platform
with a white wand, and was shedding tears, and
the unfortunate Thurtell followed next, ac-
companied by Mr. Wilson, the Governor.
of the Prison, who was also deeply effect-
ed, and Sewell, the Turnkey. Thurtell was
attired in a brown great-coat, &c. and wore
his hat, and white handkerchief. He appeared
perfectly calm and collected, and no 'apparent
difference of countenance or demeanour seemed
to have taken place. This arms were pinion-
ed. Jack ketch now made his appearance on
the platform, with ropes, &c., on which Thur-
tell gave his head a twist, as if to prepare him-
self for the rope being placed round his
neck. After his handkerchief was taken off,
he perceived a .gentleman with whom he was
slightly acquainted and bowed to him, and he
observed the same ceremony to Mr. Pierce
Egan, who was near the place of execu.
While Jack Ketch was placing the
rope round Thurtell'i neck (the night cap be-
ing placed over his countenance) he requested
that a sufficiency of rope might be supplied, and
he turned up his eyes to see how it was ad-
justed. The hangman replied, " You'll find it
all right, Sir ;" and Thurtell, after paying
great attention to the ceremony, appealed to
Mr. Wilson to see that the hangman's duty
might be performed well. Mr. Wilson assured him
that every thing should be done properly. The
parties now shook hands. Mr Wilson shook
hands with him, and, while crying, said, " God
bless you, Thurtely and quitted the fatal spot.
He then immediately gave the signal, the bolt
was drawn, and the unhappy man was forced into
eternity. On dropping, his-head and shoulders
were to he seen. After struggling a Short period he
gave a heavy sigh and expired. The crowds
began
gradually to decrease, commisserating the -
fortunate man's fate. After the body had h unupg
the usual time, it was cut down, and delivered to
the county surgeon for dissection.

lion.

Thurtell maintained the same demeanour. Ii e
slept soundly for several hour's. lie declined
making any disclosure, except a general acknow-
ledgment of the justness of the punishment which
lie was about to suffer. When urged, for the sa-
tisfaction of mankind, to make a full confession
of his guilt, he said that he should only do-so to
the Supreme Being. lie was asked, absurdly,,
if he had seen any person suffer the same fate ?
he answered in the affirmative, and addetb, that
it was his wish that some hundred Irgi.g&itfAroulfi
be placed in his pocket, to prevent, him from
suffering long.,

Til UItTEI.I, AND lIIS ASSOCIATES.

11ERTFoRD, JAN. S.-At half-past eight
e'clock-this morning the Chaplain repaired to the
prison, having felt it to he his duty, and in fact
with the approbation of Thurtell, to perform in
the course of the morning the religious offices, to
which, for the consolation of prisoners in his
unhappy situation, the Sunday before execution
is generally devoted. The day of the week not
admitting the intervention of the Sunday, it was
nevertheless deemed necessary to give the pri-
• soners the benefit of this ceremony on the eve of
execution.--Thurtell, after the Chaplain had left
him an 'Wednesday night, was .thoughtful and
resigned, and soon after threw himself upon a
mattress, and fell into a sound sleep. He awoke
• about-one o'clock, and addressing one of the at-
tend6its, said, " William, " are you awake ?"
' 'Tlre man said " Yes, sir." Thurtell rejoined,
" All's right," and i❑ a few minutes exhausted
natnre again- composed him, and he slept
and snored loudly. He awoke again about six
o'clock, dressed, and took some tea. At
a- quarter before nine o'clock, he was brought
from his chamber into the ante-room of the
-chapel, where he saw Hunt, who was miserably
• dejected. Thurtell merely recognized his fellow-
priSoner with a nod of the head, but spoke not to
•him. Thurtell's demeanour was calm
rand corn-
posed. lle repeated his thanks to Mr. Wilson,
.he Governor of the prison, for his unform kind-
J:ess to him, and said, " I suppose, Sir, by this

to-trnorrow, all will be over." " Not so early,
Mr. Thurtell," said Mr. Wilson, " but compose
yourself to prayer." A prayer-book was then
'?sanded to him, and he passed, followed by the
other prisoners, into the chapel. The Rev. Mr.
Owen, a near relative of the High Sheriff, was in
the chapel. As soon as. the necessary arrange-
nwnts were made, the Chaplain (l\lr. Franklin)
commenced the service. lie began with the fol-
:loWing prayer, which he delivered in the most
impressive manner :

APPEAL FROM A CONVICTION TINDER. Mn. TAYt.ciles
ADOLPIIL'3 (with whom was Mr. LAWS) said, he
appeafed in support of.a conviction under the aboi.e Act, and
the question was, whether a.certain projection was such an
obstruction as to come within the meaning of the Adt.—Mr.

Moon-street, Piccadilly, had erected this, projection over what
was formerly an area, which extended 3 feet 3 inches.

The projection was proved.

Mr. Cockerill, agent for the egate, who said, be had known
the projection complained of to exist for the last GO years ; it
was formerly a brick wall, but now converted into a winddw.
The CHAIRMAN said, the Act-Of Parliament went to. claim
the spot on which the, projection ,waA erected on public grounds,
and the. Court saw no reason for altering the conviction.
Conviction confirmed.

Mr. CURWOOD—Then we must go to Parliament with it.

THE THEATRE.

COTENT-GARDEN.-The Comedy of John Bull,
one of the best productions of the modern Drama,
was revived last night at this Theatre, and was
so strongly cast that it attracted a crouded au-
diellCe. CONNOR, a good and general actor, was
very successful in Briligrttddely. COOPER gave
the part of Peregrine with correctness and energy.
JONES, as usual, was sportive and easy in
Shuffle/on. FA wc ETT, the original Job Thor-
berry, rendered the part as effective as at first.
Mrs. CHATTERLEY gave a lively portrait of a
dashing woman of fashion, and hiss CHESTER,
who bore evident marks of her recent illness,
was affecting in Mau Thornberry. RATNEa's
Dan displayed a good portrait of blunt rus-
ticity, and BLANCHARD, who is always correct,
was a very good representative of Sir Simon
Rochdale. The Comedy altogether was so well
received as to afford temptation to the Managers
to bring it frequently into notice.

THE COUNTY FIRE-OFFICE and PRO-
VIDRNT LIFE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET, were
the ORIGINAL OFFICES which effected Insurances upon
the principle of combining the Security of an adequate and
Permanent Capital (in addition to the fluctuating Funds aris-
ing from the Premiums), with the beneficial rule of return-
ing, at stated periods, the Surplus of the annual Premiums
to the Contributors, after paying Losses and Expences. The
importance of this Improvement is acknowledged by extra-'
ordinary public approbation, and by the numerous imitations
of it, which New Offices have lately offered, and which
older ones have adopted, in changing their Constitutions.—
Tile principle is of chief value, because, as it yields, by the
Specific Sums insured, and the Return of the Surplus, the
fullest Value for the Deposits, persons have no reasonable
"motive for venturing on the lure of reduced and insufficient
Premiums proposed to them by Adventurers, and which has
;ed to frequent instances of dissappointruent and ruin,

CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 9.
There are no arrivals from distant ports, on account of con-
Crary winds ; but those which have gained the head of the
River have brought us 9,600 quarters of Wheat, 7,000 of Bar-
ley, 15,200 of English with 1,020 of Irish Oats, and 13,700
sacks of Flour; and still the Wheat trade remains brisk this
morning, and Monday's prices are obtained for that of fine
quality. Barley remains full as high in price as last market
day ; but in Oats there was not a brisk sale, as we now expect
large supplies. In Beans and Peas there is no alteration.

• Saturday. Iltb Sept. 1824.
My dearest Ilavue—For six long days and sleepless nights'
hart I been hourly to the expectation that you would redeem
that promise which your sacred word of honour is pledged to
pet form. I Cannot resist any longer the desire I have en-
tertained throughout this, eventful week, to make you ac-
quainted with the feelings that beve agitated me. Your ex-
trrordittary conduct in leaving me in the manner you have
has thrown site is 4 stale of distress that may be conceived
—I will not attempt to express it ; but I have, still such fait It
in you-that I cannut—l will nut, fora moment, suppose it is
your own act ; and although you are at present separated
from me, I cannot believe but that your heart and thoughts
are still with site. If I hare come to a right conclusion, lot
me conjure you to resist, with becoming pride, the idea that
Mr. Hayne is out capable "( judging
for biol.:elf, and in your
cowl moments I won persuaded good sense will whisper to you
that selfish motives, cud these alone, have influenced the ho-
nourable advisers by whom you are beset. Gracious God !
can my dearest Hayne be content to allow slick persons to
use coercion to restrain him from following. the dictates of
his own heart ! Be upon your guard, for be assured such
persons, with such interested views to actuate them, will nut
hesitate to have your restraint of such a character, that your
own good sense or friends' interference may be too late to
Save you front. Remember, my dewiest Hayne. it was at
your desire that our intended nuptials were announced in all
the Newspapers to take place on Monday last. Think of this,
taut at the saute time conceive, if you can, what a wound my
feelings have experienced, and how little I have deserved it.
If yort are the matt of honour I believed you to be, you wilt
nut lose another moment in fulfilling your eitgaitrotynt•
Your last words when we parted on Sunday night. I ant per-
suaded you du not forget; I shall remember them to the latest
period of may life. You said—" May God strike sue dead if
ever I consent to separate myself from you." You also de-
sired me net to receive any coutuntuieation whatever, but
front yourself. I shall strictly attend to that request. I wait
with an anxiety nut easily expressed fur a letter front you.
Do out disappoint me on Monday. Esreweil, may dearest
Hayne, and believe in the affection of your faithfully at-
tached MARIA.
