This slatemrat, however, like many others with whit h some ol the papers have crowded their columns during the last ihiee days, is erroneous, for the air gun was tmind, some days ago, under (lie fllllowing Clr- cumstatices: — When Thurtell was apprehended, Ru'hveo found upon him three small bullets, or what are called buckshot, which suited the calibre of the pistol found in Irs pocket, but when asked about them, he denied that they belonged to or were intended for ihe pistol, and said, they were rasi all air He subsequently wrmc ihe letter alluded to, re- questing (hai c:a e might tie taken of it, and this letter beitig intercepted, led to the finding of ihe (J"a(ily ill.;IV The letter was addressed fo Mrs,- Walker, a young woman, who had lived at Ille Cork, in tbe Havinatket, as bar-in »1 -I • Thurteil. She married lately a man named j Walker, a tailor, and lives in a g».rre( in Wiad- mil).sheet, Haymarket. Upson, the oiffcer, up- on having this letter put into his hand, went (o j the Co. k, where, in a room occupied occasionally | by J. Thurtell, he found (he air gro in question.

The calibre is very small, it being cal- culated only for a species of bullet very little larger than buckshot. The gun has been tried by She olficer, and found lo be most perfect and effective in its operation. 11 will send a buliet through an inch deal board at a moderate distance, it has been shown lo a gun-maker and pronounc- ed to be one of the complelesf things of the kind ever JU illililge, tired. Ju the room where it was found was a cupboard, the door of which was full of perforations, and no doubt had been made a sort of target by John Thurtell. It is stated that the instrument was purchased by him for the express purpose of assassinating Mr. Barber Beaumont, the managing director tn (he Country Fire Office, through whulle exertioni the bill of indictment was found against the Thurtells, and others, for conspiring to defraud that establish- ment. John Thurtell was often seen at night lurking about the back entrance of the house,' in Regent street, the way by which Mr. Beaumont usually entered. Since the finding of the air-gun, Bishop, the principal officer of Bow street, went to Mis. Walker's in Windmill street, where in a clothes trunk, belonging to John Thurtell, he found a bayonet highly sharpened, which he brought 1 away. On the night of Wednesday last, when John Thurtell and Hunt were taken to Watford, their conduct was marked with extreme levity. The writer of this statement was in the room with them at the Essex Arms, before the investiga- tion commented, and tbey had scarcely seated themselves, whrn Hunt began to sing alt)(id.- He sung one entire song, the burden of which was I'm:.well Fartvsell V ■ and be afterwards continued singing detached verses of other songs, until he was checked by the officers. Thurtell smoked his pipe, and related pugulistic anec- dotes, seemingly quite at his ease. Among other anecdotes which he related of himself, were ihe two following — He was in (he neigh- of Cli(-Iit-iiiiam icn)e tinie ;,go with a noied boxer, and some of the visitants and inha- bitants mnde a match between two men, and con- siderable bets were pending.

Tbe attract ion of needle, i c. -y the former w;*s an object of never failing surprise; atid tlie dancing of the latter, by pul ling ihe string between its feet, was still more a matter of „ever-ending delight. The Esquimaux loved much to see i(made to perform but if a c io cause its evolutions *ith their own hanos, f.ieir rap'ures were extravagant, ant! tbey would play the puppet for hours together. Alter leaving Hudson's Bay, with the excep- tion of one family-seen by the boats, none of these pe-ple were met wiih till ihe iribe of fifu appeared in February, though trices of their dwellings, many of them recent, bad been observ- ed every where about the island. Yet when they first clune into contact with the strangers, they bettayed no fears or suspicions bur cluue boldly till board the vessels, one of them even Show liico the amazing sight. When the Hitting presents, on which they set so high a value, were fiven to rhem, Ihey IHIPtd and shouted like mad-folks, uttering Hie oddest noises, Of course equal cottfi dencewrti displaced by our- cnuülf) mcu. w ho itctne- diately returned the visit In see the huls of (heir new neighbours, about titiie, and were received with similar demonstrations of jny by men as I woiaeii.

The breeches are loose, and descend below the knee. where two rows oUlegant trimming are a so sewed on. The rough sole of ihis part of the dress is outward. Boots fimng ihe leg com- pteie the male equipment; and so well is fbia figure formed that it balances itself, and can nearly stand alone. The female is still more grotesque. Her upper gsrmeuf has the fur side out, anil Irom the Cnpnte, hjdl comes round the face ami leaves only a finie of it exposed, descend oil side (wo long hairy appendages, covering two love locks of her own black hair like dnetjes, only not so stiff.— Th vest if) front of ihis squap little personage falls into a storiricher' point. Hot the oddest portion of her equipment is the boots, which conie up mucit iu circumference as her body.— The fur is inside, as also in her milieus and her breechts. Their smell is not the most delicate j but this accidental quality of ihe ill-dressed skins may not be inappropriate 10 the general likeness. The magnificent siae of the lady's bools will not escape the eye of the slightest judge of pur- Iraiture and custutne. In fact, these are fhe most essential parL. of the Esquimaux' dress; they are their pockets, (heir tool hoses, their provision ¡ cupboards. One day a lady of the tribe, enamour- ed of a wash-hand basin, took (be liberty of ap- propriating if secretly to herself; but unluckily for her the theft was discovered, and she was turned over for search—prohpudor the basin was found concealed ill one of her boots.

I It having been generally reported o« Monday, 'hat his Majesty's ship Superb, of 74 guns, wa« under orders to proceed to sea with the utmost despatch, we understand that ao otTer was made to the Commissioner of the Dock yard, by the spirited proprietors of the Sir Francis Drake ^team packet, to tow her from her moorings off ?»orth Corner into (he Sound. This offer beinr accepted, the steam packet proceeded alongside at eleven o'clock the following morning, and soon after boih vessels were, observed moving in graocl style down the harbour, with the wind S, to S.S.
