THE LATE GALES. y om aere, Nov. 3.—On Thursday afternoon a tee!, which had been into the Roads to lighten a brig, and taken on board about for ty chddrons of coals, struck upon the bar at the entrance of the ' , ar b ou r, the wind blowing very fresh at the time, and received so afterwards sunk in deep water, near rock d a mage, that she shortly re nee and went to pieces. The persons on board were taken tout by a boat from the Pier. Ott the following morning it came en go Mow a most tremendous gale from the E.N.E. which cowl aucd the whole of that day and the following night, and did not a we until Saturday afternoon. We are fearful the damage sue. u t ee d amengst the shipping has been to a serious extent. The fish lag ya wl William and Francis, cf this port, drove upon Winterton beach, on 'I hursday night, and we lemma to state, that out of Seven o f the crew, five were wohed overboard and drowned. Two brigs, ' , A Wile, of Newcastle, Neverou Master, from Quebec, with tim ber, and the Venus, of Arundel, with oak-timber and planks; also a Scotch sloop, the Is and Margaret, of Finsihorn, from berm with pickled herrings, are upon Corton beach, close under the eliff—crewv saved, wint the exception of one man drowned own the sloop. Mr. tide-surveyor, of this port, on hear. in of the above vessels hting on shore, immediately repaired to the g spot with Captain Manses mortar and apparatus, and with the as. sistance of Lieutenant Jerson, of the Preventive Service at Car ton succeeded saving the lives of the crew (ten in number) of the'Ventts: Lieuteuant la amus e of Lowestoft, ever alive to cases of distress and danger, who has repeatedly exerted himself in the volunteered his services to take' caus e of humanity, being present, elle sling on board.

The schooner Fruit Preserver, Mimes Master, front Gibraltar, bound to Newcastle with bark, is op shore at Lowestoft—crew saved. The brig Edmund, of and from Sunderland, is on shore at Winter snit—crew saved. A man was washed overboard and drowned from a fishing-boat, in entering our harbour on Friday. We fear the accounts from the Northward will be of the most melancholy deseriptlon.—The merits of Captain Meese's mortar and apparatus for baying the lives of shipwrecked persons have been universally I scknowle.lral ; and we conceive the above case of the crew of the Venus clearly shews the necessity for some humane and spirited in dividual to draw the attention of Government to the subject, when we hope to hear of the mortars, being ;danced at all the exposed parts of the coast. We observe, by the Gazelle of the 2.lth ultimo, twat Captain Meese has been lately presented with a gold medal from the King of Deana ex, accompanied with a letter, wherein his Majesty communicates his approbation of Captain MANIT'S phi. laushrse;ic and arduous exertions in saving the lives of shipwrecked r .rsons.

A schooner, on her way from the S a hamss to Canada, was taken by pirates, and the Captain and two passengers m.urdered. One of the unfortunate passengers wasa Ise young man, the son of Adjutant Seatrsoe, of the 70th Regiment, a native of Ochiltree. Front the narrative sbewn us, it appears that this young man was returning from the Bahamas, where be had been for the restoration of Ms health, and, io a few hours after the v_osel he wad in sailed, the pirate hailed her, and ordered her boat on board. 'The Captain of theachooner, whose name was Rear, and two of his men, went with the boat and as soon as they got on board of thepirate, the boat was manned by eight of the'pirate's men, and pro Ceded to the schooner and took possession of her. Whilst the pirate wet lying in a bay of as island, the name of which is not civen, the crew of another vessel happened to come on board, Whosts,Capealts Rime unluckily skewed himself in his captivity, and rem this circumstance, it is believed, the pirates determined to tabs away their lives.

THE. LORD. MAYOR ELECT. After the Election ismade by the Citizens of one of their Aldermen to serve the office of Lord ►Mayor, it is customary, before be enters upon the duties of his of fice, to wait upon the LORD - CEIA NCELLOR with a num ber of the Corporation, to whom his Lordship signifies his Maaasrs's approbation of the election made by his loyal Citizens of London. Yesterday was &zed for this purpose, when the LORD MAYOR elect, accompanied by Aldermen WOOD, LUCAS, andVENABLItS, the RECORDER, Sheriffs and other Officers, went in state to the house of the LORD CHANCELLOR, 11l Hamilton-place, at two o'clock. The Loan CHANCELLOR having entered the room in his robes, with the insignia of office, and stand ing before the LORD MAYOR elect, was addressed by Theßzcoanzit, who said that he had the honour of presenting Robert Waithman, Esq. citizen and frame work-knitter, as the Gentleman chosen by the Livery of London as their Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year, and be felt persuaded their choice had fallen upon a Gentleman who would do honour to the high office to which he had been called. He had for twenty years been an active member of the Corporate Body, snd was thus peculiarly capable, from his long intimacy with its rights and privileges to support and Maintain them. He had led a long lite of active and honourable in dustry, and the choice the Livery had made, had met with the unanimous approbation of his brethren the Aldermen. He felt convinced that' lie would at 'all times promote the welfare of his fellow-citizens, main tain the dignity of his high station, and preserve the peace of the first City of this great Empire. He hoped, therefore, to receive through his Lordship the sanction of his Majesty. The Loa. CHANCELLOR said he had it in command from his Majesty to that he approved the choice the citizens of London had made.' He complimented the Lord Mayor elect on his being raised to the high land responsible situation of Lord Mayor of the Metro-, polis, and felt assured he would uphold the rights of his fellow-citizens, preserve the peace of the City, and by a well directed seal, so discharge his duties, as that at the end of his Mayoralty, he might be able to look back with pleasure on the course he !sad pursued. The LORD CHANCELLOR then shook hands with the LORD MAYOR Elect, the Aldermen, RECORDIR, the Sheriffs, and the Common Szmizatrr. The reception which the latter officer met with was peculiarly hearty. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on seeing him, said, " Ah, Mr. DENMAN, how do you dor and sho ok hands with him in a most affectionate manner. His Lordship then sac between the LinljD MAYOR Elect and the RICORDZR,, and conversed freely with the former. The party, after having taken refreshments, departed about three o'clock. The customary breakfast in the morning, we understand, was omitted. We understand that the statement respecting the death of Katona, the driver of the Bad* coach, white!. we copied from a Morning Paper of yesterday is earo neous. The poor man fell of the box in ait of epos ,plexy, and the guard was in his proper place behin d at the time. THE LitE ItORRIBLE MttEDrR. , - —.op— TI4. iinetation excited in the public 'mind by this • .. most atrocious affair, exceeds anything ne have ever witnessed on any occasion of the like n a ture. The neighbourhood of Elstree was yeiterday crowded with persons of all ranks, viewing the cottage of Probett, and the surrounding premises. Various anecdotes were in circulation of the 66 doings" at the cottage, and Of the loose characters by whom it was visited. Mrs. Probert and Miss Noyes, we understand, will undergo a private examination before the Magiltrates previous to the trial. Warrants are issued against some persons supposed to be implicated. Active search was making for them the whole of Sunday night and yesterday, but hitherto without success. One of the parties is known to have been in London on Ft iday last. The prisoners, are all confined separately in Hertford Gaol, but still main tain a sort of hardened indifference. , From all that has transpired, it appears that the mur- I der had been elanned by John Thurtell and Hunt; and that there were additional inducements in the mind of the former beyond the spoil he was likely to obtain : he had a private pique against Weare, and there is no doubt that he was 1 romised SOO guineas it he " pot him out of the way." He declared on Saturday, in the presence of his brie! er Thomas, that he had "done the trick," and 0 at lie " would have histhreehundled from ----, or I ave his—. life!" Hunt was to have met him in the lane, near to Frobert's house; but the delay on the road, from drinking brandy and water; made him too late. Thurtell drove down thelane, and at a,proper oppoitunity thew his pistol and discharged it directly in - poor Weare's face. The check-hone re sisted the ball, but he was for a moment stunned.— Muriel' then threw his reins on the horse's back, and tumbled him out in the lane. Weare revived a little on reaching the pound, but Thurtell endeavoured to finish him by battering the muzzled his pistol into his skull. Weare then made a desperate effort, and grappled with his assailant. They rolled over and over for some time on the 'ground, till Thurtell, recollecting his knife, drew 'it from his pocket, and with a scientific precision divi ded the jugular vein. The subsequent acts of this mis creant skewed the coolness with which he had deter. mined on his diabolical purpo,e.—Hunt lamented his being late, but afterwards made amends by assisting in the removal of the body to the pond in the garden. And it is supposed that Probert, who felt the danger in which he should be if discovery were to take place, as sisted in this operation. The smile of Probert, too, at the Coach and Horses, en the night of the murder, and the question of Hunt when he asked him if he would be in it ? lead to the conclusion that he had some fore knowledge of what, was to take place. When John Thurtell heard of the confession of Hunt. his daring spirit forsook him, and he begged of Ruth vie, who was with him, to call on Mr. Beaumont, of the County Fire Office, and say that he wished to dis burthen his mind to him in regard to the fire in Watling? street. In consequence of this communication, Mr. Beaumont went to see Thurtell at Hertford Gaol on Saturday; but he then altered his tone; he said hewas sorry for the trouble he had given, but he could not speak on the subject limn after he had seen his Soli citor, Mr. Pearson. After John Thurtell was taken before the Magistrate at Watford, he conversed with the officers in whose custody he was , with peat freedom. One of diem said to him, that Hunt had confessed all. He replied, " I thought the 2 would be the first to split." . The officer said to hini 'that Hunt was not present ,at the murder ; he replied, " before I die, the whole truth shall come out." The officer said, " You could . not have done the deed alone, as the horse would have set off when you fired the pistol, had no one held him at the time: John Thurtell replied, " I was not the person that shot Bill; the truth will come out in time." The officer said, that the "business" could trot have been done alone. John Thurtell answered, 66 why, how the could it, if I did not shoot him ?" . . It was Ruthven, and, not Forster, as has been stated, who apprehended John Thurtell and Probed. Thur. tell was in bed, and supposing Ruthven's visit to be only about puttieg in the bail, he received him cheerfully; but, on being handcuffed, observed with surprise, he did not suppose it was necessary to treat him so—he had never been treated so before.—" Perhaps not (re plied Ruthveu), you have never been in custody before for such a crime as that of which you are now accused." Proceeding to search him, Ruthven found blood on vat. rious parts, both of his coat and waistcoat. While Hunt was before the Coroner on Saturday, the room became so hot, from the number of persons, pre sent, that a window was opened on that side nest to the road. A person, of genteel appearance, immedi• ately under it, was then heard, talking loudly, and ve hemently expressing a desire to see the Magistrate. " I want to see him !—I must see him !—I, will see him; was exclaimed with such vociferation, that the Coro. net., suspending the proceedings, required to know what the man wanted, observing, that he had better be .brought into the room. A.Juror".—He only wants admittance, I,believe, Sir. Hunt (turning round to the window, which was be hind him; and then to the Coroner)-011 ! its a person Of else name of .--,—,—, he is a friend of the Thurtells, and, a madman, as every bodyknows. Mr. Noan.—That may be; but he should be spoken with. Mr. Noel then went out, and remained in con versation with the supposed madman (who. however, appeared in manner and in conversation . uite _rational), for upwards of half an hour. . . k• • Hunt has made the following additional confession. After he had 'been before the. Magistrates; he sent for' Mr.Noxt., and said :"I forgot to tell you, something," ,and then resumed his confession. He said On' the eturn of Martell, after the body a s'w reme . eed (rpm the lane, and spnk in Probert's pond, ,Thartell Pro duced the render (flash for neta. case), out of . W4ich lio took three f.:3 notes, and also. a:perse, front which he ek four .sovereigns. ge ii itv e Pmbert and myself 1,4 each. a; our share of the proprty. fdtu ) d,; *lie i/ien burnt the note case and, the ptirse ; he .alark b'l4lA.a.

The wounds were deb scribed by the surgeon.) Hunt desired thlt these facts might be added to his confession, and Mr. biotic accord. ingly communicated them to the Magistrates. Mr. 'rasall, the- landlord of the Coach and Horses, in Conduit -street, at whose house Hunt was apple• hended, attended the Coroner's Jury at Eluree, on Sa. turday, ssith a number of other persons, to give evi dence, th:st Thomas Thurtell could not by possi6ility be actually concerned in the murder ; but as the,te wai no evidence brought forward to involve T. Thurted in the afttir, and as the rest of gr. Tetsall's evidence affected the other persons accused, k was thought pro per by the Magistrates to reset ye his evidence (sufficient having been.addoced before the Coroners Jury) tilrihe trial of the parties, against whom a verdict was le turned, at the next Assists. IIIS LATR STORMS. Wixerreorea. Nov. I.—The weather during the whole of Thursday night was tempestuous beyond de scription. Snow and rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a perfect horticane. In the neighbourhood of Oxford its effects have been particularly felt; trees have been turn up by the roots, in Bagley Wood and other places, and the waters are higher than ever remem bered. The Worcester Mail was , overturned soon after leaving Oxford, by the violence of the gale. The Oz- I ford coach, which arrived here today, came through Highclete, it being unsafe to take the Newbury road, in consequence of the height of the waters. None of 'the Bath coaches had arrived at Oxford this morning, and the Cambridge coach did not go out, as some of the bridges on the road are said to be blown up. IletavoL, Nov. I.—We already begin to realize the anticipations of an early and severe winter. A heavy and incessant rain on Thursday last was followed on Thursday night by a dreadful snow storm, which co vered all the bills lit this neighbourhood, and rendered travelling in many places impracticable. The night was truly a frightful one, and we fear that we shall have to record numerous instances of the calamitous effects of the storm. Yesterday morning the low grounds on the Gloucestershire side of this city exhibited the appearance of an immense sheet of water; and persons who reside is the neighbourhood of Stapleton were compelled to make a detour of several miles before they could reach the city. - The principal inundation, however, was in the neighbourhood of Baptist Mills and Earl's Mead. At five o'clock yesterday mottling, the scene in this quarter was truly appalling. Many poor people, finding their dwellings surrounded by the water, with no apparent means of escape, were terrified beyond description, and their screams were heard in every direction. Signals of distress were also made ; but it was not till a late hour in the morning that some humane individual caused a boat to be conveyed in a waggon to the spot, and in this several families were removed from the danger with which they were threatened. In the boat at one time were an old man, two poor women, and two in fant children, u ho seemed quite exhausted by the terrors of their situation, and as grateful to their deliverers as if they had been snatched from the jaws of death. It was reported yesterday that at Baptist Mills a house had fallen into the water, and that two persons had lost their lives; but this was unfounded. Accounts from Lemberg of the 10th tilt. state, that his Royal Highness Prince Metternich is still indispot4rl. .DRURY• LANE TN EATRE.SU A RSPCA lees Play of The Wiatetls Tale, which had not been acted at this Theatre for 18 years, was revived last night. It was strongly cast.— Mr. MACRRADY performed the character, of Leonia in a manner which folly proved his clainf to represent , the personages of SHANSTIZA kit. The agony and rage of Jealousy were -powerfully combined In the first scenes; and the last one; in which Herndon* is brought before kiln by the humane artifice of Pludirui as a statue, which gr4theady awakens to motion and to life, was so impressive as to insirit the highest commendation. His astonishment at beholding the supposed statue was only excelled by his triumphant and almost frantic joy, when. on approaching and touchihg, be was enabled to exclaim that it was warm. The /talc ices of XL bleeper; was in the very best style of Suartarksee's co seedy. It was impossible not to like the rogue, though he was per petually exhibiting his thefts and Impositions before oar eyes, and' When at last he fut on the courtier's dressotie ridicule was inaidatible. Os strut, his manner, and the awkwardness With which be wore Ili larey, not forgetting the ingstons torture he invented for rile poor down, drew down peals of laughter. Mrs. Sem Was h ) ;.• pressive In Nertnione. She conducted herself in the trial sieve with great dignity, wad when exhibited as a statue, she so tidy looked the reposing part well, but in theawebening, peewee/ Ins touches of pantomimic excellence. Mrs. Wan, in the she* lito dita afforded full expression to the exquisite poetry of th e part, which, though far from being dramatic, is beautifully korssies. Mrs. GLAIVIL, in Pauline, had more scope, and she availed sherodf of it with wonderful ability. The reproaches of the King were finely indignant.
