Saturday being the day appointed for the re-examina (inn of Thomas Noyes, Miss Noyes, and Mrs. Probert, those individuals were conveyed from St. Alban's gaol es two post-cliaises and a gig to the house of Mr. Clutter buck, at Watford. They arrived about ten o'clock, and the examination immediately commenced. Three wit nesses —namely, Silver a publican ; Butler, an ostler; a nd Biggs, a servant-girl—were severally called in be forethe Magistrates and examined. Our Reporter having been refused admittance to the room in which the exa mination eras carried on, we cannot state with certainty the nam e of the evidence which these persons gave: but we understand that it applied principally to the con duct of Probert after the murder. They were bound over to appear as witnesses on the trial. A state i.ent having appeared in a Sunday Paper, purporting to be the deposition of Mrs. Probert, which v. , e had reawn !o believe was in many respects incorrect, ve have been at some pains to obtain the true substance of her account from an authentic source. When first taken before the - Magistrate she betrayed g re at a gitation, and expressed the strongest reluctance to make any statement at all. She declared she knew , nothing about the matter, and could not, therefore, give any information; but upon being pressed, and warned o f the consequences that might accrue to herself and those connected with her, she became more communi cative. She stated, that on the night in question, her husband and Hunt (the latter of whom had been there he a ve) arr ived in Mr. Probert 's gig ; and Hunt brought a S ri of pork into the kitchen, desiring that it might be cooked, and then returned to the stable. John Thurtell arrived almost immediately after her husband sal Hunt, and remained in the stable with them for nearly three-cleaners of an hour, when they all three came into the house. They had been seated but a few minutes, when Hunt and Thurtell went into the yard, and got the stable-lantern, with which they proceeded through the garden, and out of sight. Her husband remained behind. She thought all this was very sin gular, but took no notice at the time, because she knew that Hunt and Thurtell were men of irregular habits, and therefore supposed that they were only after some lark as they termed it. When they returned, they ap peared in high spirits, and sat down and ate a hearty supper, John Thurtell somewhat less so than hunt or her husband, but he did eat a considerable quantity. Hunt was by far* the most merry of the party, and was once or twice betrayed into expressions of rather an in delicate kind, and was reproved by John Thurtell. He sung several songs in a firm and uitembarrassed man ner. Soon after supper, Thurtell took out a very elegant lookire gold watch and seals, and they examined it, he observing that it was a nice thimble (flash for a watch). The Chain WAS not offered to her that night. Her sister, Miss Noyes, retired to bed some time before she did. She (Mrs. Probert) heard many remarks between Hunt and Thurtell, which induced her to believe that some thing wrong . had been done, and when she went up stairs, she partly undressed herself, and returned to the stairs, placing herself as near to the bottom as she could, so that she might, if posible, bear what passed. The conversation was in so low a tone, that she could only catch here and there a word. She heard a rustling of paper, like that of Bank-notes, and heard something heavy thrown into the fire. She then heard it proposed that the three should " go and finish the job." Her hus band said something which she could not hear, and Hunt and Thurtell went out together. She was sure her husband did not go with them. She did not like to venture down stairs, and returned to her room and opened the window, in order to watch the return of Mont and Thurtell. She had been standing there for some time, when she observed a light approach from Gill's-bill-lane and presently saw John 'flannel' and Hunt enter the garden. Hunt had a light in one hand, and with the other was assisting Thurtell in dragging , along some heavy substance. She could not see what it was, but it was something very heavy , and was enve loped in a sack. They went towards the fish-pond, which is concealed from the view of a person in her situation at the window, by a small shrubbery. They were eat of her sight for about ten minutes, and then she raw them return to the house, but the candle had been put out. It was more than an hour after this, that her husband came to bed. She told him she was sure those men, meaning Hunt and Thurtetl, had been doing something wrong : her husband, in an under tune, de sired her to make herself easy, for that there was nothing the matter. He seemed much depressed in spirits. The nest morning she renewed her enquiries as to the pro ceedings of the previous night, and he said that Hunt and Thurtell had been snaring partridges, "and that you know, my dear, (he added) is against the law, and must be done secretly." Hunt and Thurtell breakfasted with them in the morning, and then went away. On the Sunday, they came down with Noyes, her brother ; • and in the course of the evening, John Thurtell said he bad a little thing in his pocket which he intended to make a .present of to her (Mrs. Probert.) He then took a gold chain from his pocket, and put it over her neck, accompanying the action with this remark :—" This chain was given to me by a favourite little Quakeress of mine, at Norwich, and as I have done with her long ago, I cannot do better than give it to Mrs. Probert, as a token of my respect for her." (This chain she pro- duced to the Magistrates.) Mrs. Probert stated nothing else material. She was questioned very close as to whether her husband had not a greater share in the transaction than she admitted; but she declared that she had told the whole truth. Miss Noyes was next called in, and interrogated ; but she protested an entire ignorance of the whole business, and said she went to bed early, and therefore could give no evidence of the conduct of the parties after supper. Mr. Noyes, our Readers are aware, was apprehended and taken down to Watford on Thursday. He was taken before the Magistrates ; but in answer to their questions lie professed a total ignorance of anything connected with the business under enquiry. Bishop, the officer, then suogested that perhaps an order for tae com mittal of the prisoner would produce some effect; and Mr. Clutterbuck desired that lie might be taken away. When Bishop got out with him, lie wrung his hands, cried, and said lie hoped he should not be corn mitted. Bishop told him he must make up his mind to go to St. Alban's Castle; and he then said he should like to see the Magistrates again. He was again con ducted into the room, and then stated, that in conver sation with his sister (Mrs. Probert), she told bun that she saw Hunt, Thurtel l , a nd her husband, dr aggiug the body of a person across the grounds, and that Mr. Pro bert and Thurtell were the men who had hold of the corpse, and Hunt merely held the candle. She also stated '(to him), that her husband went with Hunt and Martell when they left the premises with the candle. Mrs. Probert being re-called, persisted in her story, And denied that she had ever told her brother that which he had stated. - • It has been stated, that John Thurtell was stationed behind the door of the house in Manchester-buildings, with a pair of dumb-bells, ready to knock out the brains of Mr. Woods. This will appear by the following cir cumstance to have been too true. It was very naturally supposed that the house mentioned might contain cer tain property which should properly belong to the cre ditors of Thomas Thurtell, under his bankruptcy; and on Saturday evening, one of the Messengers of the Com missioners of Bankrupt, accompanied by another per son, went to the ho use an d b ro k e i n at the back door. They found an immense number of pewter pots and measures all quite new, besides a vast quantity of other descriptions of property, which there is no doubt the Thurtells had obtained . in a dishonest manner. In the, course of the search, they found a pair of dumb-bells in the first fluor, and these they brought to Upson, of Bow street, and gave them into his charge. The other pro perty is placed under seal. Friday last, an official letter was sent to Mr. Noel, informing him that his services its the prosecution would be dispensed with. MR. WOODS' STATEMENT. It is well-known ro the Public, that an attempt was some time ago made to decoy a Mr. Woods into an un finished house in Manchester-buildings, Westminster, by John Thurtell, for the supposed purpose of murdering him. The following account of this singular business is given by Mr. Woods himself: On the morning of Monday, October 7, about a quar ter before seven o'clock, a man, habited as a journey nun carpenter, about five feet eight or nine inches high, of dark completion, and with large black whiskers, called at Mr. Woods' residence, and stated, that a lady of the name of Brew, with whom Mr. Woods was well acquainted, was desirous of seeing him upon some important business, at a house in a street at West minster, the name of which he did not know, but it was a street just beyond the Horse-Guards. Mr. Woods was not satisfied with the account, and questioned him as to the cause of Mrs. Brew being in Westminster, she residing at Kensington. His answer was, that she was stopping at a friend's house, and wished to see Mr. Woods that morning, as she was going out of town. Upon this Mr. Woods accompanied him to Manchester buildings, where he stopped at No.IO, which Mr. Woods immediately saw was not inhabited. The door being ajar, his suspicions were awakened that all was not cor rect, and he desired the man to step in and tell Mrs. Brew, that he (Mr. Woods) was these. The man en tered, and having proceeded along the hall or passage as far as the back parlour door, Mr. Woods saw John Thurtell spring from the back parlour and strike the man a heavy blow, which knocked hint with great vio lence against the opposite wall. The man hallooed out something which Mr. Woods did not distinctly under stand, but to the effect that Thurtell had mistaken his man. Mr. Woods immediately retired, not running, nor pursued by John Thurtell, as is stated by some of the newspapers, but walking at an ordinary pace ; and, on looking back from the end of the street, he saw the mes, senger at the door of the house gazing after him, but not attempting any pursuit. Upon this Mr. Woods waited on the son of Mrs. Brew, and was intormed by him that that Lady had been for three weeks in the Isle of Man. What follows is very mysterious. On his re turn house he found the following letter, which had been left for him by a man of shabby appearance, immedi ately on his quitting the house with the messenger : " Dean tint—An unknown friend informs you that Mare is a writ out against you for 161. keep out ache way till after Friday nest." In the evening of the same day he received the fol Owing letter also : " Monday Afternoon, 4 &Meta " Stn—l am happy to inform you, that an unknown friend of yours as settled tlhe action which you where about to be arrested for this morning fsr la and costs; therefore you have no emotion to make yourself uneasy about it. I understand you are indebted to a Mr. Cozegs for his inSerfrance in this ungentlemanly act. " I am, Sir, your s, " JNO. CLARK." " Clifford's Inn. During the course of yesterday, several hundred per sons visited Proberes,cottage, and all the places in the neighbourhood of Gilrs-hill.lane, which have been ren dered remat kable by circumstances connected with the murder of Mr. Weare. The Mario of Madrid contains a curious article, in which it is stated that France, at the desire of Spain, has prohibited the entrance of all the Constitutional Jour nals into the Peninsula. It seems that the Spanish Jour nals have been forbidden to publish any news, which will render them as uninteresting as they used to be. The latest accounts from the Morea say, that the Greek Government has resolved to form a corps of 6,000 infantry, and 2,000 cavalry, disciplined in the European manner. The German volunteers, still among the Greeks, complain of the want of unanimity, which is principally caused by alie ambition of some Chiefs who study only their own interest, and thus hinder the Greeks from making such a progress as might be rea sonably expected from the weakness of the Turkish Government. In their last letters, however, they say, that the Central Government begins to have more stabi lity and influence.—Dutoh Paper. Woodcocks and snipes have already appeared on the Eastern coast of the Isle of Thanet. During the late storm upwards of 500 trees were blown down in the Park of Lord B A THU asz,atCirencester. Cross-readings have often been the amusement of small wits, but ingenuity never placed two paragraphs more mai-apropos than the following, which appeared in a Sunday Paper of yesterday : " Mr. G. blooarnit.n is appointed Chief Clerk Of the Kitchen, in the room of the late Mr. Wu.sazon. Mr. Wmaszon, the son of the late Mr. Waeszon, is appointeethe second Clerk of the Kitchen, in the room of Mr. :%looarscx.o." " The Winter Assizes commence on the Bth of December, when these criminals will be put on their trial." In the present overgrown state of our Police Estab lishment, we very much wonder that some of the nu merous officers and patrols attached to them should not be stationed to prevent the iniquities continually prac tised on the poor unsuspecting seamen in the neighbour hood of Somerset House. There are several fellows constantly prowling about the Strand, and, under pre tence of facilitating the receipt of the hard-earned prize money or wages which may be due to them, they con trive to ingratiate themselves with the poor sailors, and eventually retire with them to some secluded public house, where, in one wall or other, they are plundered. On Saturday last, three fellows were very busy in this way, and they were observed to take the seaman into a dark place at the corner of the One Bell-yard, near the New-Church. Oae of them was shabbily dressed in an old black coat; he had large red whiskers. The others looked like Jews, and probably were so; these were, rather better dressed.

Wednesday the trial of the persons accused of having stolen the Government Stationery, came on at the Ses sions House, Dublin, when William Williams, and John M'Cormick, principals, and William Edmunds, Patrick Turner, and theophilus Taylor, were put to the bar. The prisoners we: e then arraigned under the charge of conspiring fcc. to embezzle stationery from the Cus tom-House, Dublin—and for having, on the 16th Octo ber last, taken and carried away 100 quires of paper, value one shilling each. There were supplementary counts attached to the principal Charge. They severally pleaded Not Guilty, and said they were ready for trial. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case at tonsi -1 derable length, observing, in conclusion, that the allow ances of paper made to the Officers of Customs, etceeded much more than their own consumption would require, and it was a general practice for them to dis pose of or sell the surplus, which they did to Sir ABRA HAM BRADLEY KING. CAmazement seemed to pervade the countenances of many of the Gentlemen in Court.] /le (the ATTORNEY-GENERAL) should, howeuer,say that he considered such a precedent altogether a bad one. Sir ABRAHAM took the paper back at the same price, upon which there was derived no profit, and such an allow ance went as part• of their salary. It would be proved that they sold back to the officer much more paper than their salary would amount to. The prisoners were acquitted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HIS MAJEOIr'S PLATES.

Accounts from Bayonne state, that Rims has been tried, and could not find any Counsel to defend him, so that it was necessary to provide him with one by draw ing lots. It is added, that his sentence is to be strangled and quartered, and it is feared that his sentence will be carried into execution, as the KING is not likely to par don him. JOHN CLERK, Esq.

Wednesday, the trial of James Anderson, Arvid Glen, Margaret Anderson, and Margaret Frew, came on be fore the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, !Or the murder of John M'Clure, weaver, Ayr. The two men were found Guilty, and a: e sentenced to be,executed at Ayr, on the 12th of December. The two females were acquitted. We feel much pleasure in stating, that the accident which occurred a: Westminster School, on the e7ening of November 5, to Sir Itoorta KYNASTON, is alarm ing than was at first believed. The young gentleman was certainly severely set:Pitched by the accidental ex plosion of some fire-works which he had about his per son; but no bad consequences are likely to result from the accident, and no other boy sustained any injury. At a meeting of the ,Presbytery of Glasgow, On the sth instant, Dr. Cita:magas tendered his resignation by, a letter, in which he stated in substance, that having been appointed Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University of St. Andrew's, and as his installation will take place on the 14th current, it was with deep emo tion, and sentiments of unfeigned esteem for every Mem-. ber of the Presbytery, that he tendered to them his re signation of the charge of St. John's parish. But he did not resign the office of the Ministry, of the importance of which he was well aware, and which he would al ways hold in the highest estimation. He requested that they would not declare the Church vacant till he was installed in his new office, of which he would give due intimation to the Moderator. Dr. M‘Laata, Dr. TAY LOR, Dr. RANKINE, Mr. Dow, and Dr. M.Grt.t., ipoke in high terms of the able Ministry of Dr. CHALII2B9, who returned thanks in a neat speech, and the Presbytery accepted his resignation in the terms of the letter.
