will perceive that we have been amply borne out in
the humble tribute which *e yesterday paid to the
titemory of the unfortunate Minister on the sor of
the moment, by the unanimous ettlogitimi

•The impression Made on the public mind by-the

ilu;ne character of the people of England remains
exchanged. One sentiment of horror pervaded every
bosom, except such As *ere so depraved by a fami-
liarity with vice, as tb be callous to the feelings of
humanity. There were, indeed, a few wretches,
and with-shame we record the fact, so lost to every
Consideration hut- that of testifying the rancour
and malignity of their hiarts, as to nuke de.

sure we are, that such wretches:were not .of a descrip-
tion likely to be influenced by political considerations,
aiid it must afford some relief to the agiteited feelings
'of the community, to find that the Assassin was
neither a Roman Catholic, a Dissenter, a,Leformer
of public abuses, -nor a starving manufactUrer. It
is also gratifying to find that the Mini4vs in both
1-louses, last night, expressed it to be the firm
conviction of their minds that the murderer had
al accomplice, and that he was actuated only by the
hellish principle of black revenge, because he had not
extorted from Goverment a comeensation for an tm:
just demand. He appears to be the most deliberate
assassin Who ever figured in history. He went about ,
his barbarouspurpose with unprecedented composure,
and the steadiness, of his resolution made his him!

When Iltu.t.inottast arrived at Newgate, about one
o'clock yesterday morning, :liter being allowed some'
I refreshment by Mr. NewlfaX, he was taken into one
of. the strong rooms with a stone flooring, in which
a barrack bed was made for him. Three- Keepers,
one the principal Turnkey, were stationed therein,
to watch him with the utmost vigilance. He went'
to bed almost immediately, and soon fell soundly
asleep, and continued so till near seven o'clock yes-
terday morning, when he arose, and before eight he
sent to Mr. NEwas AN, to inform him, that he was
ready for his breakfast. A large basin of tea, made
and sweetened by Mr. N. himself (for fear of the ad•
ministration of poison), was conveyed to him, and
tsso buttered rolls, the whole of which he ate.—
When he entered the prison, he appeared in good
spirits, and so continued through the whole of yester-
day, conversing cheerfully with the Keepers, to
whom he said, on going to bed, "4 They can do me no
hatm, hilt Government have cause for feir." He told
them that he was born at Saint Ntotts, in Minting-
donshire, and that he have wife and three übildren
at Liverpool ; he said be had no idea of his trial be-
ing brought on at the pretend Old Bailey Sessions.
..He has always talked very unaffectedly with the,
Keepers, making various remarks to them ; but it.
has been observed, that on speaking to Mr. Alderman
Comm and other Magistrates who visited him yester-
day; his manner was constrained, and apparently
artful, fie had but one person inquired for him
yesterday, who said that hit name was Housttex,
and on- being interrogated about Betatuottau, re-

father died mad. He was not permitted so see the
