SWEARING IN THE NEW LORD MAYOR. Yesterday. this ceremony was performed in the Guild hall. on a platform erected for that purpose. Seats covered will' crimson were formed in a square. There was an inner row, with cushions, prepared for the Court of Aldermen, the chief officers of the Corporation, and for the I companies of the Livery; and at the head of the square. in the centre, was placed the Chair of State. with a table before it, and copies of the municipal oath. The outer row of seats was tilled at an early hour. by an a ssemblage of elegantly-tiro-owed females. and a crowd was collected mend the platform to witness the ceremony. At a little past twelve o'clock, a Court of Aldermen assembled at the Mansion House, and partook of refreshments. The Court, when formed, Car for a considerable time ; and, we understand, a debate took plum hnt on what subject did not transpire. At about half-past one o'clock, the Frame work limiters' Company, of the Livery to which the New Lord Mayor belongs, entered the Platform in their state robes. The company to which Alderman Ileygate belongs were also in attendanre, to receive him on his giving up the office. A short time after, the Cries, the Remembrancer, the City Solicitors, and the other corporate officers, with the Household, in their 'ohm entered, and W ere followed kr the Recorder, the Old Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor Elect, and Aldermen Wood, l'ox, and several others; but the attendance of Aldermen was very thin. The Lord Mayor having taken his seat, the New Lord Mayne took the o Ith, which was administered by the Town Cleat. The oaths of allegiance and supremacy were also administered. Alderman Hevgate then quitted the Chair, in which the New Lord Mayor was invested amidst the applause of the asserolded multitude. He then received the congratulations si i • Alderman litigate and the other Aldermen present, who most cordially shook hands with him, and were followed by the Sheriffs, the Recorder, and all the corporate olficere. The party then retired to partake of a grand dinner, Red the two companies of the Livery, that to which the New Lord Mayor belongs, and that over which Alderman Heygate presides, gave grand dinners in celebration of the occasion. MR. SADLER'S ASCENT FROM NOTTINGHAM. On Monday last, ('he 2ii of November), Mr. Sadler as• tended from the Ca'tle Yard, Nottingham, making his twenty.third ascension. The morning proved very favour able for the purpose. but the inflation of the balloon or copied a notch longer time than was usual, and some disappointment was experienced .in not being able cos pletely to fill it; in consevence of whirls a gentleman who iLtended to accompany the aeronaut was prevented. The bailout', after its ascent, continued in sight nearly four minutes, when it entered a cloud which totally con sealed it from the sight of the gazing throng below. Ity a north westerly wind it was carried to within three miles of Lincoln, and Mr. Sadler alighted on a moor, where he safely extricated himself; going the distance of nearly thirty-eight Miles in about two hours. The aeronaut returned to Nottingham in excellent spirits, ahont twelve Veloric the same evening. It was computed that 2or NM persons were in the Castle Yard, and perhaps 60 or 80,000 spectators on the outside. The following account or the voyage, is from the pen of Mr. Sadler himself I ascended trim the Castle Yard at 90 minutes to three lielnek, the wind from the S. %V. and consequently passed ever the Town of Nottingham, the streets of whieh, and its - extensive market place, appeared quite deserted, except in the Vicinity of the place of ascent. " I had hoped to have had the company of a friend, hot In consequence of . the contrceted size or the main pipe, the iodation wrs much delayed, and rather than keep the assembled spectators waiting I determined to ascend alone. A very few Minutes was allowed me to enjoy the prospect below, and which at this season of the year is seldom very extensive. " The rich variety of country. including Belvoir Castle, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Rutland, was eziretnely beauti ful, and I had scarcely time to look around me. when the Bal loon entered the dense clouds which then floated over the earth. On looking into the Balloon, the appearance of its con tents was equally opaque, as the clouds by which I was enve loped; but no sooner had the Balloon emerged and entered a Bearer atmosphere, than the contrast was most striking from the brilliancy of the sun, the heat of which caused the gas ra pidly to expand. The thermometer in the shade fell to 31, yet I was not in the least troubled by cold. " At three o'clock I opened my store basket and enjoyed a sandwich and a glass of wine, drinking the health of my friends below. At fourfeeu initustes past three, the barometer stood at 20 and 2 tenths. the thermometer at M. indicating a height of nearly two miles and a quarter. 1 sow examined the state of my pulse. which I found by the aid of the common pulse glass to brat 79 per minute. which previous to my ascending was 75. I was obliged to keep the valve of the Balloon constantly open to keep pace with the rapid expansion of the gas: and upon again looking into it, found it so transparent, that I could readily dis tinguish the mashes of the net through the silk having a very different appearance to what it had when passing threegh the clouds. The prospect beneath me much re sembled (except 1 presume being mnreextensive) what our liottlann navigators describe a vast field of snow. "At half-past three, the Balloon began to descend, Ind In a few minutes was enveloped in the gloom of the lower atmosphere, and though most people might imagine that 1 aboall rejoice at again returning in sight of earth, yet melt was the change from the bright scene above. to the dark one beneath, that 1 regretted being obliged to leave it. The Balloon was soon seen by the few inhabitants below, to whom I made known my intention of descending. The grappling iron took effect, and at 17 minutes to 4 o'clock l alighted in a stubble field in the parish of Thorpe on the Hill, distant from Lincoln near 5 miles ; and considering some alteration in the direction of my course, consider that I mast have travelled about 36 miles.

CRONalt, Nov. s.—ln the dreadful hurricane of last Fri day, at two o'clock its the afternoon, the brig Duchess of Cumberland, of Newcastle, coal laden, with a crew of nine men, ran on shore upon the out bank, near Cromer light. Iheboat was directly lowered, into which the capt.:in and One man jumped, but were instsntly overwhelmed by a wave which upset it; they were afterwards seen clinging to pieces of the wreck, but soon disappeared. Several ropes were thrown from two mortars, which were brought to the spot with the utmost promptitude, but the vessel being nearly a quarter of a toile lions the shore, not one shot reached her. The Life Boat was then manned with a picked crew of sixteen men, who made every exertion to reach the vessel ; but such was the fury of the storm, that they were not able to get more than a few yards front the shore. No hope now remained of saving the crew, who took to the shrouds, (for the waves had by this time swelled to mountains, and swept every thing on the deck;) here they remained nearly an hour, waving their bats and call ing for assistance ; but' human effort nos unavailing. The spectators on the beach had been waiting the event in dreadful anxiety, and about four o'clock the vessel began to break up, anti the shrieks of the poor men were truly air palling; soon after the mainmast fell overboard. and they were bottled in the waves. It is impossible to describe the sensations of those on the beach during this awful sus pense ; but soon after it was announced from the cliff, that two men were struggling with the waves, amid the floating wreck ; in a little time they neared the shore, and were cheered anti encouraged by the spectators ; they were nearly exhausted, bring every instant overwhelmed by the waves, and by pieces of the wreck ; some intrepid young then then plunged into the water and brought them an shore; one of them was quite insensible, but by proper at tention he soon recovered. The greatest praise is due to Joseph Curtis, a blacksmith, for his exertions in saving the men. Moot eight o'clock at night a large light brig. the Esther, of North Shields, ran on shore near the jetty; her clew twelve in number, were taken nut by a Cromer boat.—Another vessel, supposed to he a Newcastle trader, went down n Jib her crew a mile from the shore. At Run. ton one brig went on shore, crew saved—Another vessel foundered with all hands on hoard.—At Warborne two vessels went on shore: souse hours after tne master of one of them returned for his clothes, when the tide coining in he could not get on shore; the vessel went to pieces and lie was drowned. A gale more disastrous in its consequences has not been known on this coast for tinny years • one-of aSW ofe 300 ships, more than half are suppos ed to be driven on shore or foundered at sea. A great number are dis masted, se,tl scarcely one of them escaped without some damage On Friday se'nnight, during the violence of the storm, a most singular as well as awful occurrence took place at'' Curpusty. A poor labouring 'man, by his industry, bad accumulated about 501. with which he bail purchased a small cottage, which was all lie had in the world. Onrirg the stsim the earth under his cottage suddenly appeared to sink to an immense depth, and with it fell the house of the poor individual. Almost the entire cottage was swallowed in the earth. Ti- pour man bad left the house shout ten minutes, and tints providentially escaped destruc tion. We understand a subscription has been cowed into by the neighbours, to enable him in some measure to repair this loss. A similar occurrence took place close by the stream at Saxtborpe, near Holt, last Saturday mnritioig. A cottage, occupied by an elderly man and his wife, nits perceived by the Weer, while making a bed in the chamber, to he in motion, and was shortly afterwards found by her husband to be sinking. The porde: immediately used their utmost endeavours to remove their furniture, but they had time to take out only a bed and a few chairs, before it was so far sunk into the earth as to render further efforts unavailing. A spring flowed suddenly upon the sinking building, one end of which and a chimney top only are now visible above the surface of the water, the depth of which is stated to be from 20 to 22 feet.

At half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday morning Mrs . Probert, Miss Nov.., and Mr. Noyes, were taken from St. Alhanewto Watford, the two former in sepirate post-chaises, and the latter in a gig, between two efficers. They were conducted to Mr. Clutterbuck's house, and placed in separate apartments; no communication havinfr been per tained between them since their first apprehension. Mrs. Probert appeared to be more collected than when she left the magistrates on the Thursday morning; but still she evinced a good deal of uneasiness, and when the name of her husband was mentioned, she expressed the strongest anxiety for his fate. She wrote to him, she said, before she was herself apprehended, but since that she has not heard from him, either directly or indirectly. She is equally anxious as to her children, who, it seems, have been consigned to the care of a friend. The immediate circumstances under which she became possessed of the chain which was attached to Weare's watch, have not transpired ; but it is rumoured that Thurtell presented it to her on the Sunday, without slating to whom it bad beltinged. It has already appeared from the statements both of Hunt and Probert, that Mrs. P. had manifested considerable uneasiness at the mystetious whisperings between her husband, Hunt and Thurtell, on the Sunday as well as on the Monday night: and that Prober', whets called upon to assist in removing the body from the pond in his garden into the gig, actually expressed his fears that his wife would suspect something. Indeed, it is impossible to suppose that a woman, with Mrs. Probert's natural shrewdness, should not have perfectly understood what was going on, and the mole especially when we reflect on the unguarded, if not hardened and profligate exclamations of Hunt, and the jeers and indirect insinua dons of Thurtell as to the clothes which he (Hunt) wore on the Sunday, anti which Mrs. Probert must have perfectly well known were not his, but bad remained in her house from the night of the murder. fn every view of the ease her testimony, if given with candour, must he of the utmost importance, and the danger in which she has conceived herself to hate been placed, has induced her to be extremely explicit in her disclosure*. Miss Noyes is not presumed to have known so much, al though from her residence in the house she seems to have made close observations on what was going forward. It is stated that John Thurtell bad been paying his addresses 1 to her, hut that she had rejected him, anti therefore calm st Ihe supposed to feel limb interest in his fate. On her way from Sr. Albart's this morning, however, site was consider. ably affected, and was observed to plied tears. Her situa • tioa is certainly one of a very painful nature, whether as it regards herself, her sister, or her brother in taw. As to Mr. Noyes, it dors cot appear from any thing that has as yet transpired, that there exists any ground of sus picion against him, beyond the facts of his intimate ac qu 'interim with all the parties—his presence at the cottage on the Sunday, and his repeated interviews with ar the parties both before and after the murder. The Magis trates deem it lurpossible, with the opportunities he had of hearing and observing the other prisoners, that he should have been altogether ignorant of what had happened, and therefore felt the less reluctance in subjecting him to tem porary imprisonment ; if not ultimately t . place hint on his trial—although, for this at present, at kart, there is nut sufficient ground. On application this morning by a respelable Reporter to Mr. Clutterbuck for permission to be present during the exa mination, that gentleman peremptorily refused, observing that so notch inconvenience had been experienced both by the ma gistrates and the prisoners from the publications which had taken place, that it was his determination no further public examinations should take place. Indeed lie was much at a loss to know how some of the facts which tel only been stated in his private study, could have obtained publicity. At nine o'clock in the evening the Magistrates closed their 'Manus inves:igstion for the day. Those who have most ths- Mistimed Themselves' In their efforts to unravel this ssio-t atrocious business are Sir Charles Polo, It. Clutterbuck and Thomas 1-loworth, Esqrs. Mrs. Probert only was examined. Miss Noyes and Mr. Noyes were not called in at eh; and tha. whole three were scut back to St. Alban's as they eame, in se parate vehicles. Four witnesses were called, namely, Bulmer, a labourer ; Silver, a puh.ican; Butler, an hostler; and Biggs, a servant girl. The evidence of these persons principally apply to the conduct of Mr. Probert after the murder. They have been bound over to give evidence on the trial. The substance of Mrs. Probert's evidence is sail to have been as follows :—She speaks of the arrival of Mr. Prohert and Hunt in the gig on the night of the limiter, and of having received from Hunt the loin of pork. She then alludes to the arrival of John Thurtell, who, with her husband and Hunt oinatneil a ' , ma'am and went down (lilt's Hill Lane. They were gone for nearly an loom She also states that she sate the horse taken from the stob:e and conducted in the same direction. This. it is supposed, WAS to fetch the hotly, a Bich Thurtell described as being too heavy for him to manag-. She then gars on to state the return of the parties to supper, and the exhibition of time watch of the decea-ed by John Thurtell. Hunt, a Ito j was present, observed, that Thurtell ought to give it to I Mrs. Probert, and Martell asked what was there that he had that he would not give her? She declined receiving i t , land he then took time chain from the watch, and rising up and passing Mr. Probert, who was present, put it ronntl her neck with great gallantry. She afterwards retired to her chamber, but did not go to bcd, from certain feelings of horror which were excited in her mind. She went to her chamber window; the night was light, and she could see the pleasure grounds She beard talking in the room below; there was walking backwards and forward., and she went to the head of the stairs to listen. She heard the conversation of the parties respecting the division of money; and also heard them speaking of burning the pnr-e and note book. She afterwards was attracted to the win dow of her chamber by the sound of dragging something heavy along the garden walk. She went to see what it was, and saw John Thurtell dr mgging a corpse by time legs, while Hunt held a mould candle, which he had taken from the parlour. She could not see whither they conveyed the belly from the shrubs. It was two before her husband came to bed, and she then asked him what be had been about ? when he said that be and his companion had been netting partridges. She cried very much, and declared that she believed he had been doing something very had, hut he denied it. She spent time rest of time night in the greatest wretchedness. She further atat.d, that after her husband hail been apprehended, on searching the trews ors which he wore on the night of time murder. which were very dirty and muddy, she found a five pound note. This she burnt, but she did not recollect time number, although she knew there was a figure of 9in it. Her description of the note t dlies with that of a note known to have been in the posses. sion f tie deceased. This is all that has been collected of this unfortunate woe man's testimony; but there is reason' to believe that, in other respects, it goes clearly to prove the connection of her hus band with Hoot and John Thurtell in the whole of this atroci ono transaction, as well as her convictionon the night in question that something dreatlfol bad occurred. It is supposed that Hunt's confession will be of no avail as far as regards his own personal safety, and that he will be pates his trial with the other prisoners. The prosecution it is now expected will not be conducted by Mr. Noel, and hopes are entertained that it will be car ried oo by the Crown ; if sot by tlie,Magistrates of the County. Five fresh warrants are oat against suspected parties: but we rather apprehend these persons are only supposed to have a koowledge of the general habits and connections et the parties implicated. It is anticipated that a further examination will take plat before the Magistrates on Tuesday, when probably they will close their praiseworthy and valuable labours, by bind ing Over Mn. Probert, Miss Noyes, Mr. Noyes : and all the - ;R- ~.... . other witnessei. They have been examined to give eiideeei on the trial. On Saturday, 1000 after 12 o'clock Mr..Petirscin ',deed in a post chaise frcim London, at Mr. Clttiterbocit's house: He had an immediate interview with the Magistrates attic,- bled, but they had no suggestions to give hitt ; and upon his requiring an order to see John Muriel!, he was told that they could not accede to this request, until fekmal sp• plication had been made to them from ThUrteil for that purpose. Mr. Pearson said he bad no desire to act as Mr. Tburtell's solicitor, Isis practice being more in the civil than in the Crown Courts—nevertheless, he should feel it his duty. if called on by him, to give such advice as appeared, in his mind, to be most consistent with his interest. Mr. Pearson then returned to London. (I,ETAII. OF THE EXAMINATION OF MR. TEnTALL, CON ciAIINID FROM OUR LAST.) You are not aware that yon owe Mr. Noyes and Prohert about 601. for wine and spirits ? lam quite sure that Ido not owe a shilling beyond the 61. odd, as Lbefore_stated, and that was on a hilt which I owed to Noyes and Prohert for wine; it was a kind of partnership transaction, and my bill was in the name of both of them, and of course 1 count not object to lend them Zil.

On the Friday morning, and I told Thomas Thurtell of it, and I said some of your party has taken it ; bit I suppose it is a joke, and they will re. turn it.

Did you make any other remark i—Yes. I said, on ohs►rv ing that aunt was so eery shabby, and his clothes torn, that if .1 mere Ttturtell I would not ride with hies in that condition. there was such a contrast in the appearance of the two.
