The %semen are still employed in erecting the gal-1
lows. The work is now half perfected. It will not be 4
completed until four o'clock in the morning. Thurtell
is in a part of the prison where •the st dreadful note of
preparation" is not likely to mar his meditations.
Mr. Clutterbuck, the Magistrate, was in close confer-
ence with Thurtell for a considerable length of time
to-day, at Thurtell's own particular desire. The sub-
ject of the conference, it is said, related to matters of
a private nature.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
• TRUZSDAT Mom.
We understand that previous to the departure of Mr.l
Justice Park from Hertford, he informed Mr. Fentonl
that he might, if he chose, petition the Crown for the
delay
Thurtell's'exe:mtion till Monday, for tbe -pur-
pose which the unhappy man had stated, of seeing and
taking leave of his friends. Mr. Fenton thanked his
I. ordship far the intimation, and proceeded to consult
with Mr. Jay, his principal, on the subject. Mr. Jay,
however, at once said that the delay could be produc-
tive of no earthly good, for that he was sure Thurtell's
friends would not come up from Norwich to see him ;
an interview of such a descriptiOn could only be pro-
ductive of unnecessary anguish to all parties. Under
these circumstances, be declined taking the course sug-
gested.
Both Mr. Jay and Mr. Fenton were dreadfully affected,
and evidently felt the strongest commiseration for the
situation of their client. The rumour of Miss Thurtell
having been in Hertford, we learn, is unfounded. The/
sisters, since the apprehension of their brother, have con•
.ned themselves to their father's house, and have aban-
dined all those pursuits of pleasure and amusement '
which previously occupied their time.
.The father too,
has altogether abstained from v•ciety, and remains at
home a prey to the deepest melancholy. We have heard
that an application has been made, on the part of the
flmily, to have the body sent down to Norwich to be
interred. This airangemeot may, by a proper under-
standing, be made. To fulfil the sentence of the law for
dissection, it is only necessary that such incisions should'
be made as that the heart may be exposed. It may then,-
without further distiguiernent, be given to the friends of
ilia criminal: and this is surely an indulgence to the'
afflicted surviving relatives of the wretched man, that
no feeling person would withhold.
Thurtell wrote' a letter to 14is father yesterday ; but
on a representation being made to him that it was such
.a letter as would not give satisfaction or afford any
cOnsGlation to his di,cousolate parent, it was suppressed
with his own consent.

After the execution of Thurtell some very important
, statements will be made public, respecting his connec-
tions with the abandoned men who live by pandering to
the vices and preying on the lollies of the metropolis.—
Martell is disposed to make known fully the proceed-
io,o his former associates. Great fears are enter.
twined amongst them as to the danger of his revelations.
Thomas Thurtell was conveyed back to Newgate this
•afternoon, by Nu is's coach, in the custody of Smart,
the turnkey. He held his hand beibre his face the whole
and did not utter a single sentence.
Probate, the livery-s:able-keeper, came clown here
with the identical gig and horse" of which the Public
have beardoo much.. Ile.this merning left Hertford, On
his return to London. The horse and gig were o'rjects
of mach curiosity. The horse is rather a smart one,
and exactly corresponds with the description given of
it in evidence. It is exceedingly remarkable, and could
err(ly fail to be again recognized by any one who has
once seen it.
Ike sombre appearance of thi place presents quite a
contri4 to the bustle and activity of the two preceding
:;ays. It seems, comparatively, a deserted town. . The
exorbitant prices (amounting literally to acts of gross
extol tiefn) have subsided, and accommodation may now
he had here on somewhat more fair and equitable terms
than hitherto.
A dispute has taken place between Mr. Nicholson,
the Under-Sheriff, and Ritthven, the officer, as to the
clothes and other articles produced on the trial as the
property of John Thurtell. Mr. Nicholson Claims them
as forfeited to the Crown, by the convictirm of the pri-
soner, while Rutlivert insists upon having them for the
zssignees, Thurtell being an uncertificated bankrupt,
and consequently incapable of possessing any property
of his own.
Tice Rev. Mr. Richards, of the University of Cam-
bridge, arrived here this evening) for the purpose of
putting a question to Thurtell respecting the disappear-
ance of the Rev. Mr. Colton, who enjoys a living by
virtue of his station, as a Fellow of king's College. The
Rev. Gentleman was not admitted to see the convict,
but the Rev. Chaplain of the gaol commur.icated with
him on the subject of the Rev. Mr. Richards's visit.
Thirteen said most unequivccally, that he knew noth:i.g
t the absence of Mr. Colton. We believe there is no
4:ooht as to-the personal safety of the Rev. Mr. Colton,
as he was seen at Paris long since his departure froze
}.agland; and we believe bts friends are quite satisfied
uat he is in America.
The younger brother of Hunt arrived in Hertford
this evening.
