It was appointed to remove Mr. Fauntleroy from the House of Correction, Coldbath-fieldt, (where he has been hitherto confined,) yesterday afternoon at four o'clock; but in conse, uence of a very protracted visit to him by one of his legal advisers, the removal did not take place till a quarter past five. Precisely at that time a hack- ney-coach drew up to the prison door, inside the court-yard. A small trunk and a writing-desk, beloneing to the prisoner, wereim. mediately placed therein, and the prisoner himself instantly fol- lowed, who descended from his spartment with Mlr. Vickery, the Go- vernor, on one side of him, and Brand, the turnlcey, on the otber. Just as the prisoner was about to step into the coach, he shook hands very cordially with all the tnrnkeys about the door. He then stepped into the coach with a qgick step, and apparently in better spirits than on the day of his examination. He was instantly fol- lowed by Mir. Vickery, the Governor, and Brand and another turB- key, namee Christmas. The coach then tIrove off, and arrived at Newgate bout half-past five, whlen the prisoner was iii due form de- livered by Ir. Yickery into the charge and custodv of Air. WVontner, the overnor of that prison, accordingy to the comnmitment.

In the course of yesterday, Air. Fauntleroy observed to lfr. Vickery that lie had slept beater since he had beena in the House of Correction thar4 he had done for the last ten years before. His bedding was that which is furnished to all the ptis8ners. He every day sent for the chaplain of the prison, and conversed with him on religious topics, and frequently retad in the Bible. He also ocean sionally read other works. Hismanners whilsthe remainedin the pri son were mild and affable to those with whom he came in contact; and it has been remarked, that he never made use of a slang expres- slon.
