It will be seen, from our Naval Intelligence, that the late storms have done much damage at sea; and all our inland letteys are full of details of trees blown down, houses unroofed, and floods coveting the roads; however, all the Mails arrived at the General Post Office this morning in good time. The Norwich was the latest, but it reached town a quarter before nine o'clock. The guards state, that great damage has been done by the heavy rains in all parts of the country. Advices have been received by Government that the KING of Spain has agreed to confirm the Convention entered into by the late Spanish Government, for the adjustment of the claims ofdlritish merchantrand ship owners, by Commissioners in this country. A letter from Frankfort, dated October 16, says— " the Russian Captain Orro VON KOTZENUI, who, for the third time, has undertaken a voyage of discovery round the world, will, conformably to the insttuctions, which he has received, double Cape Horn on. leaving Brazil, steer northward from Behring's Straits, and en deavour-to penetrate; either by the coasts of America or Siberia, to the Arctic Pole, not by the gulf which be has already discovered, but by doubling Icy Caite." THE MURDEO - OF ME WEARE. 4DJOURNAD . Igirttr AT EISTREF.. As the investigation into this horrid• murder proceeds new features of its atrocity are discovered. Saturday morning, at twelve o'clock, the Coroner and Jury re-assembled at the Artichoke Tavern. The Magistrates of Watford, ROBERT CLUTTERBUCK, Taos. HAWORTH, J. F. MASON, and GEORGE WATLINGTON, Esquires, were in early attendance, and many Gentle men of the greatest respectability in the county. Before the Jury were irnpannelled, or the Coroner arrived, the prisoners Probert, Hunt, and Thomas Thur tell, who had been confined during the preceding night in St. Alban's jail, arrived in three chaises, attended by the local police. The new sack, in which the body was found,was then produced before the Jury, and laid on the table. It was split from top to bottom, and at the bottom there was a large stain of blood—this was where the head had rested. A plan of Probert's cottage and grounds was then produced. It was neatly executed, and gave a complete key to the circumstances which were detailed by the witnesses. Information was also given to the Magistrates that Hunt and Probert, on their way down to the house of the latter, on Friday night, purchased half a bushel of corn from a baker of the name of White, At _ Edgware, and took an old sack with them. They also stopped at the house of a publican of the name of Clarke, at Edgware, with whom they were acquainted. Hunt entered into conversation with Clarke on the sub ject of the bill of indictment which had been preferred against the Thurtells for conspiring to set their house on fire in Watling-street. Clarke, who knew the Thur. tells, said it was a bad business; on which Hunt took out a newspaper, containing a contradiction to the statement that the bill had been found. Probert now seemed very impatient to be off, and Clarke, while they stood in the house, heard another chaise and horse drive by. They at last set off towards Elstree at great speed: Sunday morning, John Thurtell called at Clarke's, as he was going down to Probert's to dine. Friday, Hunt was spoken to by a person who had been an acquaintance of the deceased ; who asked him, how he could have joined in such a horrible transac tion ? Hunt replied, I did not do the act ; I certainly knew of its being concerted, for some time before it took place; and a fortnight before I went to Mr. Rez worthy's, to inform him of the intention to murder and rob his friend Weare ; but when I was about to commu nicate the fact to him, I had not the heart to do it." The Cc:monde gave orders that no person whatever should be admitted to the prisoners, as it was important to - prevent conversations taking place, which may be conveyed from one of the accused to another. CONTINUAZION OF THE EXAMINATION. The Coroner having arrived, the inquiry proceeded by the examination of the following witnesses: Chas. Lewin, of Watford, wine-merchant, was called. In consequence of information he received, be went with Mr. Johnson to search for the body. They arrived at a pond called Hill-slqugh, on the road to St. Alban's, in the parish of Eistree, on the right side of the road as you go to St. Alban's. After searching for five mi nutes, a ladder was got, and the body was found. A sack was over the upper part of the body, and the legs were naked; the mouth of the sack was tied round with a cord, at the end of which was tied a piece of stone, and a handkerchief filled with stones, to prevent the body from floating. Therrwere -stones also in the sack. Mr. George Jones, of Stanmore, was present when the sack containing the body of the deceased was cut open. The hands were crossed on the chest; under each armpit was a large flint-stone. The legs were also crossed and confined with a cord, which secured the sack round the body. There was a red shawl handkerchief round the neck of the deceased. Mr. Howard was then called in.—He stated that he was the proprietor of the cottage occupied by Probert, at Gill's Hill—it was a leasehold, and he let it furnished ....witness lives at 68, Hatton Garden ' knew Probert for, four years—on Wednesday last had Probert's goods' seized for rent. He had heard something of this affair, and therefore he made the seizure. Witness was in the house on the Sunday after the murder. He saw a person at-the kitchen door on that "day—he believed from de-. scription that it was Hunt—he was brushing his coat. Witness on the same day went with Probert to Mr. Nicholls. They were in conversation about the house, -when Mr. Nicholls said, " By•the-bye, Probert, do you know anything of a gun going off in the night, down your lane the other night ? I suppose it was some of your friends got groggy and fired a pistol to alarm some one going by. I have done the same thing myself in my younger days." Prebert said he did not know anything about such a circumstance. Do you not re -collect anything being said that night about filling' up a -pond in the garden? On recollection, witness re membered something was said about filling up the pond —and he said they ought to drag it first, as there was a veil stock of fish there. There was some large fish there, for he had put some weighing a pound three years before. After they talked about the fish, Philip Smith said, that on Friday night, about half-past eight, as he was going along the lane with his wife and a Mr. Osmond, be heard a gun go off, and afterwards groans, and wo'ild have gone to see whist it was, but his wife would not let him. He described the groans as violent, and said.he stopped and listened till he heard the last of them. Three or four minutes might have elapsed before he heard the last groan. When Ole conversation finished, Mr. Ni cholls said, "I thought it was a joke, but now I think it was something more serious." Probert was present the whole of this time, but said nothing particular . ; he denied all knowledge of the affair. Witness afterwards returned to Probert s house, and he said to him, as they walked along the road, " What is all this about?" and Probert said, " I don't know." On the same day he saw John Thurtell and two other persons come towards oberes house; one of them was Mr. Noyes, and the other he supposed to be Mr. J. Thurtell, as he had heard • lie wasNexpected. J. Thurtell and Noyes w ere in a gig, the other was walking. Supposed they all came toge cher.— Witness then retired, and saw Hunt; he could not swear to him. The person he saw was a black whiskered man. The ConoNan said the prisoner Hunt had large black whiskers at that time, but he admitted he had since shaved them off. The witness thought it was a black coat the man he saw was brushing. Nicholls, as well as Smith, said on the Sunday that'it was a gun they heard go off. Ni cholls did not say he had a pistol and a knife in his pov• session. Witness believed be said he had beea down to the spot in the lane, and sase some blood, but he did not make the slightest allusion to - the pistol, which since appeared tu.have been then in his possession. lie said something of the hedge being broken. On Tdes- 1 day morning witness met Mr. Philip Smith in' one his Gelds. Witness was shootings Mr, Smith said trhe believed thee was something miitnetiotis had beinlalkint abottt Ori goodie 41 Wht-?'"saidwit. " Berkusersiidhe "I haie blvtif3 sit The plsfce again, and have seen some blood, iha the • Midge h broken, as if a body had been dragged throogli Viso!: sides, a pistol and a knife were found." "A pistol F said witness, in surprise:. and Smith answered •in tile' affirmative. Witness then said, " Good Goy, how could .you keep it a secret?" Smith 'added, that it would not rest now ; and on witness asking where the pistol was? he said he supposed the Magistrates bad got it by that time. The witness considered that Mr. Nicholls was ex tremely culpable in not disclosing sooner the fact of his finding the pistol. After he left Smith on the Tuesday, he met Nicholls, who said to him, " why, this is likely to be a serious matter that we were talking' about on Sunday night ;" and he added, that it seemed as if there' had been a murder committed. Witness lunched with Probert on the Tuesday, but nothing was said of the suspicion crested in witness's mind. He knew of no pe cuniary transactions between Probert and Nicholls. Hunt was now called in, and after being reminded no pledge could be given to him for anything he might confess beyond that of sending his confession to the Under Secretary of State, was asked if he had anything to communicate? He then in a cool, collected, and pre _ cise manner, gave a long narrative of this horrid trans action, which, as it does not differ essentially from his confession before the Magistrates, inserted in the STAR of Saturday, we do not think it necessary to repeat. The Cononsa then put a variety of questions to the prisoner, from which it appeared that on the night of the murder he received IX from John Thurtell. This he considered was for his " professional" assistance as a singer, having been invited down to amuse Mrs. Pro-' bert, Miss Noyes, and the Gentlemen, and he did con tinue to sing after Thurtell had told him of the murder, and while the dead body was in the pond in the gar den. Mr. Probert also had £6. He saw Thurtell throw a note-case and a purse into the fire. He and Probert put the horse to the gig, and took it round to the gate. J. Thurtell then brought the body in a sack, with the legs hanging out, and asked them to assist him in putting it into the gig. Probert ran away, and he refused, but said he would walk on. He then went on to the Artichoke, where John Thurtell joined him, and said he had thrown the body into the marshy pond he had passed. To several other questions, the prisoner evidently shewed he was not telling the whole truth, and was endeavouring to disguise his own share in the transaction. Mr. Charles Lewin sworn—ls a liquor merchant ;in consequence of information; went in search of the body ; went to a pond called Hill•slough, in the parish of Els tree, on St. Alban's road; in about five minutes the body was brought up by a drag ; the pond was about four or five feet deep, a sack was over the upper part of the body, tied round with a cord. A conversation ensued between the Magistrates and the Coroner, relative to the confession of Hunt, and as to the promise of allowing him to turn King's evidence, under which inducement such confession was made. The Coroner stated, that he had only to inquire as to the accessaries before the fact ; any promise made by the Magistrates could not influence him, as Coroner, what ever effect it might have elsewhere. He rather wished to advise the Jury to find a verdict against all the pri soners, that none might be at large, and that all who were guilty might be within reach of the law. Several other Schusses were examined, whose testi mony went to corroborate the preceding evidence. The Coroner at fire o'clock commenced. a review of 'the whole lase, when the Jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict of—" Wilful Murder against all the prisoners, viz. John Thurtell, Joseph Hunt, Thomis Thurtell, and James Probers," who were committed on the Coroner's warrant to the County Gaol of Hertford. Thomas Thurtell made a written statement to the Magistrates, on the Saturday, implicating another per son. It commences by stating, that on the Friday of the murder, he met his brother and Hunt at the Coach and Horses; and then goes on to state, that in the evening Hunt came up to the door in a gig, drawn by a grey horse, into which John Thurtell, his brother, got, and' drove away ; Hunt went away with Probert. Ile saw two pistols with his brother John, and asked him what he wanted with them? .Hunt made use of a dreadful expression, and asked what was that to him? and then, - turning to Probert, said, " Bill, will you be in it ?" Be fore they went away PrObert smiled. Hunt had pre viously brought a sack and somiscord, which'he put into John Thnrtell's gig, and then said, "Jack, it's all right, drive away like --." Hunt said, before they left the house in the evening, addressing himself to John Thur tell, " Jack, our friends had better be civil, or they will get served out ;" following this threat up with the most liorrible oathii. Both John Thurtell and Hunt- were constantly talking of ripping people up, and shooting them ; but he (Thomas Thurtell) thought' it was only their idle bravado. He (Thomas Thurtell) was engaged the whole of Friday night, which has been confirmed by credible witnesses. On Saturday morn; g he went to the Coach and Horses, and remained there all day ; John came about three o'clock, and was is excellent spirits ; he (Thomas Thurtell) remarked that his hands were much scratched, and asked him how it happened ? John said, he, Probert, and Hunt had been netting partridges, and that his knuckles were scratched by the brambles. He observed a gold Watch in John's, hand, and asked him where he got it ? John told him to ask no questions, as it was no business of his.; Hunt came in shortly after, with a bundle, containing a blue coat, a buff waistcoat, and a pair of leathet breeches, which he had taken out of pawn for John Thuttell. 'On jetting down the bundle, fie pulled out of his pocket three sovereigns, some silver, and a £s"note, and said to Mr. Noyes, who was present, " Now, you —, do any of you want change of a £5O note, for if . you do, Pm your man; we are Turpin-lake lads, and have done the trick," and then he laughed heartily, and winked to. John; after Noyes went out, he (Thomas) feeling surprised at such declarations, said to his bro ther, " what have you been doing ?" when Hunt ex claimed, " why committing murder, to be sure." These being words of ordinary use in Hunt'i mouth, he did not believe him, and took no futtber no lice; Hunt then went on to say, " we have been shoot• ing game, and Pcobert has been holding the bag; (Thomas) did not for a moment believe they had bees committing murder.. In tbe.etening he (Thomas) went. again to the Coach and Horses, and saw Hunt-and bin brother at supper; they "Mere eating oysters; Hunt le. pealed that they had been Turpin-like. lads, and a& dre.oing John, said, " We must have a bottle of wise —nothing else will do now," and,then laughed. .. The following is a copyist Hun letter to his otifet.

The letter was addressed to 14 Mrs. Hunt, No. 19, King-street, Goldewsquare; or Mt him Mountain's, 4, St. Martin's-lane."' It was uptir the authority of this letter Mr. Noel and Iluthvea.%l;ent to Hunt's lodgings. Mrs. Hunt was out, but they larp,ke open the door, and found the whole of the clothes of the deceased. There was a complete change, which he was in the habit of taking with.liim when he went out fora few days. It was part of these clothes Hunt wore at Proberes on the Sunday. Hunt always studiOuily described these as John Thurtell's things., so as to save , himself from suspicion of being a party concerned. Part . of the cord brought by Hunt to tie round Mr. Weiiie's-- legs was also found at Hunt's. It was stated, in the course of the day, that t miscreants had actually taken a house in Manchester buildings, Westminster, for carrying on a systematic plan of murder; and that a young man named Wood, had been inveigled there for the purpose of being killed. and, had escaped only by an accident, John Thurtell standing behind the door .at the time with a pair trf dumb-bells in his hand, to knock out his brains. They had fixed upon 17 persons to destroy in this way. HISTORY OF THE PARTIES. The deceased was a little man with high cheek bones,- his face narrowing to the chin ; sallow complexion, and having very much the appearance of a Jew. He was formerly a waiter, but latterly engaged in gaming con cerns, he frequented races with an h. 0. table, and was well known in gaming circles. He, was extremely pe nurious, and generally carried from £l,OOO to £2,000 about his person. This was always contained in au old pocket-book, and placed next his skin, beneath his shirt. This was known to all who were in the habit of being in his company. None of his property had been found, except the contents of the bag. The prisoners remain in confinement in separate places. The two Thurtells are related to respectable people at Norwich, and were brought up as warehousemen in the wholesale trade, but having neglected their business, and habituated themselves to low and profligate society, they became involved in difficulties, and it is feared have not hesitated to resort to desperate measures to support themselves. Thomas has acquired considerable provin cial fame as a boxer, and two or three years ago, chal lenged Belcher to fight him for £lOO, but the latter having retired from the prize ring, declined the invitation. About twelve months ago, Thomas took a warehouse ,in Watling -street, and effected an insurance in the Coenty Fire-Office on his stock. His brother John was to conduct the concern, but just before the blisiness commenced, the premises were consumed by fire, and a claim was made on the Office for £1,900, as the value of goods alleged to have been destroyed, the payment of which was resisted by the Office, in consequence of various suspicious circumstances which appeared in the transaction. Thurtell, however, obtained a verdict, principally through - the evidence of his brother John swearing to the value of the property consumed ; but the publication of the trial brought new facts to light, and an indictment has been found against Thomas and John Thurtell and others for a conspiracy, and the officers had been in search of them for several days pre vious to their apprehension on the present charge. Probert, a few years ago, was carrying on an extensive business as a wine merchant, and failed for a very large amount. When examined under his commission of bankrupt, his account rendered was so unsatisfactory, that the Commissioners refused to let him, pass his exa mination, and he was imprisoned for along period under their warrant. While in the King's Bench he lived sumptuously, and expended a great deal of money. He Was a constant inmate at the Coffee-room, and ingra tiated himself into the confidence of the fa milt'. At length, however, an -unexpected a breach took place, and Probert was charged with making too free with - theta). He was indicted, tried, and convicted at the Sessions House, Horsemonger-lane, for the felony, and imprisoned six months in the Heuse of Correction, at Brixton. ' • Hunt is a professional singer. He is married to a woman of respectable family, and a short time since kept the Army and Navy Cotiee-house. BURIAL OF HR. WEARF.. It had been arranged that the body , of the deceased should be interred on Saturday evening. - • Shortly be fore eleven o'clock,-the tolling of the church-bell an nounced that everything was prepared for the melan choly ceremony. The coffin was borne onahe shoulders of six men ; the brother of the decease& and mote of the Jurors attended as mourners; several persons carried lanterns beforeeand on either side of the coffin; and in this manner thefurieral train,.followed by a considerable crowd, proceeded up Elstree-hill towards the church, which is about.a quarter - of a mile distant from the house at which the Inquest was holden. The coronae!, as in Ordinary cases, first carried into the church, which was lighted up for the occasioa, and then to the grave; the funeral service was read in both places by sheitev. Mr. Annow, the Clergyman of the Parish. As the coffin was being lowered into the grave, the .rope which was placed round the foot broke, and that part of the co ffi n fell suddenly to the bottom f the' grave, whilst the head, being sustained by the other rope, rested- against the side of the grave, sothat thecoffin stood nearly upright. This unfortunate aceidents as might be supposed, created some confusion: but the Sexton immediately descended. into the grave, and by !treat personal exertion, in a abort time succeeded in getting the coffin level at the bottom of the grave, which was about IV feetin depth. , CORN EXCHANGE, MAILLIPANE, NOY. 3: • The quantities of Cora accumulated 41111Siegrably at the close et last week, and the arrival of Flour Wirier lirge.
