We have much satisfaction in being enabled to state,
that the very unpleasant affair between the above-named
Gentlemen has tertninated amicably, and as it should have
done; th. party who gave an unprovoked offence admitting
his error, and, in a manner hunonrable to himself, with-
drawing the imputation cast upon the noble relative of Mr.
Rice. It Intr.t be highly gratifying to the last mentioned
Gentleman to learn the very great interest taken by the
public generally, of all parties, in this affair, front an
anxiety for his safety.

NOTES TAKEN AFTER • CONVERSATION RELATIVE TO
TIM MURDER OP THE LATE WEARB.—Leman, taf
whom so much was said in the newspapers previous to the
trial, was not, it appears, out of the country, hat on the
contrary. the Magistrates of Herta were assured, that if
he was really requited in the misfortunate busine.,s, he
would be forthcoming in six hone after such notice
thing everoccurred, however. in the course of the evidence
to criminate or aifect him in the slightest degree.
Thurtell, when apprehended, hut a passport in his
pocket for France. This was not, it stnems, procured
under a fear of the discovery of the murder, but it was ob-
tained, as appears frnn a letter addressed to Miss Nov.;
on account of that laity's positive rejection of 'Uwell as
a suitor. This letter is described as a composition ot
some m oit awl path.,s, and he therein states that as sloe
leaves hilt without hope, be is about to quit the king-
dom. Thortell, on his way to gaol after his commitment
for trial, on being informed that Hunt had split, said.
that " had he thought he should have been nosed, he
would have token care of himself first ; that there were
three others with him at the time of the act." Here then
be admitted his httilt. Nothing after this c odd be extract-
ed from him, either t'efore cr after trial, but he conducted
himself in prison with the greate,t firmness, decorum, and
respect to all that had a right to approach him. lie stated
to the relater of this, that he himself consmed the begin-
ning and conclusion of his address as delivered on the
trial; the middle part he gleaned from Phillips's speeches,
and the law points be obtained from his legal advisers.—
After condemnation, he did not persist in hi• innocence;
but the solemn manner in which he concluded his address.
was done to shake, if possible, the opinion of' the Jury as
to the truth of the evidence brought against him. He was
not placed in a condemned cell, bet in a comfortable room,
with a boarded fluor, with a fire night and day, and bed, table,
chairs. &c. &e. Way he was handcuffed, 1 could not
learn. His death, as witnessed by those that were in tiro
interior of the place of execution, was instantaneous. It
is a singular coincidence, and in some degree marks the
retributive hand of Providence, that his body was removed
from the gaol at Hertford in a sack, by two medical stu-
dents, in a gig between them, to London for dissection.
with as little ceremouy as he appears to have paid to the
body of his unhappy victim, on that very day /ourtcen
weeks before.—(BrigAton Gazette.)

• CORN EICHANGF. FEB. 13.—The quantities e Corn tills
week have increased considerably. Wheat, ti,tleto ; 13nrie, ,
8,400 ; Oats, 10,200, Irish Oats, 1,300 qrs.; Flo tr, 900
sacks. The dullness in the wheat trade still continues, and tun
prices have given way full 2s. per qr., from the quotations of
Monday last.—Barley continues at much the same prices last
quoted—but the sale to day is heavy. Beans are Is. per qr.
elteaper.—ln Pease there is but little doing.—Outs are now
plentiful, and the buyers still hold elf from making purchases,
so that they are Is. to 2s. per qr. lower than Monday.—Flour
is unaltered.
SMITHFIRLD, Fen. 13.—The market this morning was
rather short of cattle, and all articles of good qu silty ob-
tained last Monday's prices. The trade, however, was
heavy, and only cattle of the hest descriptions were in
demand.

Film—Soon after nine o'clock this morning a fire broke
out in the workshop of a cabinet maker in Rvder's Cuurt,
Leicester Fields, which, with much valuable furnitnle,
was consumed. rit
