Mr. Wontner also requested that an arrangement might be made for the safe custody of Thomas Thurtell in the gaol during his stay at Hertford.  Mr. James, a respectable farmer from Gloucestershire, who is married to Probert's mother, arrived at the gaol yesterday morning, and had a long interview with his step-son. He gave him some money for present use, and also informed him that more was placed in the hands of Mr. Williams, his solicitor, for defraying the expences of his trial. Mr. James left the town shortly after his interview with Probert, for the purpose of dispatching a messenger to Lidbroke, in Gloucestershire, and another to Kingston, Surrey, for some witnesses whose attendance he desires on the trial.  Mr. Jay and Mr—Fenton were for several hours yesterday again in close conference with. Thurtell, whose spirits and de. meanous remain unchanged. Hunt adhere* with confidence to the legal force of the confession :which he made before the Ma. gistrates, and says that he will not believe until he shall find himself on the day of trial included in the capital indictment. Thurtell's solicitors were to. decide last night in a consultation with their counsel in London upon the affidavits which they mean to urge in support of their motion for the 'postponement of the trial.
