hill, we took up Thomas Thurtell, who joined us for the ex press purpose of seeipg his two children that had been on a visit to Mr. Probert's. When we had travelled three or four miles from Maida-hill, we met Thomas Noyes. John Thurtell got outof the gig, leaving me and Thomas Thurtell. together in it, to make the best of our way to the cottage, in order that Thos. Thurtell might put Mr. Probert's horse into his gig to fetch J. Thurtell and Mr. Noyes. When we arrived at the cottage, the horse that we went down with was taken out of the gig and Mr. Probert's put in. After T. Thurtell was gone to fetch Noyes and John Thurtell, Mr. Probert said to me, " I have not had a ino meat's. peace since. I saw you last, in consequence of that man lying in my pond." My reply was, "I am sure you have nut had a more restless night than myself." Shortly after that, Thomas and John Thurtell and Mr. Noyes arrived at the cot tage. We then, I mean the whole four to us, ( Hunt, Thomas and John Thurtell, and Noyes,) walked across a ploughed field into a lane, and returned to the cottage. When we arrived at the cottage, there was a Gentleman whose. name I do not know, but I believe him to be the 'Gentleman that owns the estate, came in. J. Noyes, the Thurtells, and myself walked about the grounds till we were called in by one of Thomas Thurtell's children to dinner. After dinner we , had some runs and water, and sat for the space of three hours and then had tea. After tea we had some more rum and water, and then we' went to the stable to see the horses. We then had supper. John Thurtell, myself, Tho mas Noyes, and Mr. Probart, sat up until about half-past one o'clock. 'Mr. Probert and Thomas Thurtell then went to bed, leaving me, John Thurtell, and Noyes up. About half an hOur after they were gone to bed, Thomas Noyes followed, leaving John Thurtell and myself in the parlour. John Thur. tell desired the servant to bring in some coals. I said to John Thurtell, I shall lay down on the sofa. He said he would sit up and smoke. I left him smoking by the fire, with his back towards me, and I laid down, pulling my great coat over me. About half-past six in the morning the servant came into the room. John Thurtell asked if the boy Jem was up. The 4trvant said " no, and it was a great shame that her master, Mr. Pro 'sett, should keels such a boy as him in idleness." During this time Mr. Probert came down stairs, and the boy followed. lie desired the boy to put the horse in his own gig, which was done immediately, and Thomas Thurtell and myself came to town, bringing with us the boy they called " Jem." When we got as far as the Bald Face Stag, we breakfasted. From thence we went to Mr. 'l'etsell's, where Thomas Thurtell was informed that the bail lie had put in was not accepted.— About half-past eleven I called at my mother's, in Cumber 14nd-street, New-road. After I had seen her going from the New -road towards the Yorkshire Stingo, I met John Thurtell, Thos. Noyes , and Miss Noyes, his sister. John Thurtell asked me if th e Cail was accepted ? I said No. He then got, out of the gig, and Thos. Noyes and his sister drove away. and. John Thurtell walked to Mr. Tetsell's. T. Thurtell . asked me if I would return on that day and inform Mr. Pro ben that his bail had 'been refused to which I consented. About half-past four I started ;as I was going along, John Thurtell came to the end of the street to me, and said if you are going to Probett's, I may as well go with you, and get that man away (meaning the man that was left in the pond). I said, if you are going upon that business, don't expect me to aid or assist in any. way. We came and stopped at this hawse. John Thurtell had a glass of brandy and water, and I had a pint of a l e . W e then left this house, and went to Mr. P h robert's. I i n f ormed Mr. Probert, in the resence of his wife, tat Thomas Thurtell had requested me I to come down, a s that evening, to know whether he could appoint any other Person to become bail. Air. Probert said it was useless for him to write, for that be would be up in town as early 11$ possible the follo w i ng morn i ng . W e t h en h a d part of a cold duck and some ale. J. Thurtell then . called Mr. Probert it: Mr. P. was a b sent about ten minutes, and t h en returne d P. by hurt: eif• Shortly altar that .T. Thurtell asked me and Mr. wouldthe put his horse in the gig, and take it round to c ,, onci gate. We put the horse to, and did So. John 'Thurtell then came across a small field, with a dead man in a s h a i dc l with his l egs h ang i ng out. lie then asked Mr. P. to assist to tO the dead body into the chaise, which Mr. P. refused " o t' •air. P. immediately ran away, and said I cannot stop any lo nger, my w if e will think it very strange. He that asked ril e to assist him ;lI refused, saying, the sight of a dead man was quite enough, w i t h out touc hi ng it . John - Thurtell then put the vurpse in the chaise, and tied the feet to the dashing iron. He asked me if I would get into the gig, but I declined, and told him that I wouldwalk and he would overtake use. When , on, got within short distance of this house, John Thurtell ( Ai me that he had thrown the corpse into that' marshy I:4 'hd I had just passed. I then gotorning, into the gig, and left John Thurtell about two o'clock that mat the house where h? then lodged, and went home myself immediately. That, Gthtlensan, is the whole of the evidence I have to give to-night. ( -ghostLit--You have nothing more to add ?

That 1 don't know.—How do you know they were cut off? Because I was told so by John Thurtell. On Sunday evening had you any other person's clothes on except our own ? On Sundareven ing I had a suit of black clothes on of John Thurtell's ?—For what purpose did you exchange your dross ? As it was Sunday I wished to appear decent and respectable.—What dress had John Thurtell on ? A blue coat, light waistcoat, light amen clothes, and gaiters.—Where did you change your clothes ? In a little room by Mr. Probert's bed-room.—Were you given to understand the clothes you put on in Probert's house on the Sunday were the property of the murdered man ? Why yes, ',have since been given to understand so, for I told the officer where to find them—When did . you give the information ? When I was at Watford. After you were in custody ? Yes, on Wednesday last.--Had, you any reason to believe that the property belonged, to John Thurtell ? Yes.—Did you go up with John Thurtell, when he went to 'London ? Yes, sir,—Was there not a carpet-bag put in the gig ; When we left Probert's there was a carpet-hag put into the gig, and a box-coat and a gun, and a powder-horn, with a shooting jacket ?—Was there any other things in the gig when he left the Coach and Horses on the Friday night ? No, Sir.—lf you did not know what these things were, how did you know how to give a description of them when you ordered them to be given up ? I did-not say I had not seen them.—Then you knew the contents of the carpet bag ? Yes ; John Thurtell sorted them up, and put them into my drawers, and desired them to be taken care of ? —The bag was left in the gig all night; and was brought to my house in the Morning. I and John Thurtell walked on Saturday morning through a plough field, and broke through a hedge into a lane; it was not so late as seven o'clock.— We saw two men in the lane. to whoM J. Thtirtell said be had 'lost a handkerchief and a knife : the lane was a quarter of a mile from Probert's house. Nothing was said about being capsized. After leaving the lane we, went to breakfast. I saw no handkerchief. I did not sponge my clothes ; but I brushed John Thurtell's clothes at his request. I took a spade clown in the chaise with me. I was requested to do so, but don't know for what purpose. Thomas Thurtell threw it over a hedge near the gate where tae body was brought out by him naked. I did not see it used; I suppose it was brought for Mr. Probert's , use. On that day I had black whiskers and mustachios; you may lee, they are now cut off; I have a hard ' beard, and cut them off for my own pleasure ; I have been in the habit of doing so ; I cut them off at my lodgings in London; I have no objection to sign this statement. Probert was brought before the Jury, and he entered into a full statement of his connexion with the Thuitell's and Hunt. He admitted that he dined with them on the Fri day the murder took place, and conveyed Hunt down to his house in his chaise, at the request of John Thurtell ; that he put Hunt down a short distance from his house, who said he had promised to meet John Thurtell there ; that when he . arrived at his gate, John. Thurtell met him, and said, " that he had killed his friend ; and done the trick;" that he exclaimed, " Good God ! you have not com mitted murder ?" that. the body was afterwards removed by' Hunt and John Thurtell to the pond; that he lent John Thur tell six pounds in Loudon, where they dined in Conduit -street, and received six pounds from him in his parlour on the night of the murder, when John Thurtell produced a rade case, con. taining three five pound notes, and a purse containing sovereigns, and said " This is all I got by the job ;" that the body was subse q uently removed by John Thurtell from his pond to another place ; that he found a spade on his grounds, and that Hunt assisted in removing the body. lie then made a general declaration of his innocence of the murder, and protested that he did not know the man's name, or who or what he was, and never had seen him in his life. James Haddis sworn.—(This witness wen examined on the first day.).—ls the servant boy of 111 r. Probert ;he said that Mr. Probert, Hunt, and John Thurtell, went out on Friday night about tea o'clock, and were absent about ' three" quarters of an hour,,with a candle and lantern, they'all return ed together. It was a little before ten o'clock when he saw John Thurtell sponging his coat. Wa* not aware if Probers, Hunt, and John Thurtell went towards the pond on Friday night at ten o'clock. '(A mahogany box, u double-barrelled gun, and a carpet bag used for travelling, the property of the deceased, were shown to witness ;) witness saw the gun and the mahogany case at Mr. Probert's on last Saturday morning, but also saw a bag resembling the one produced. Saw John Thur. tell on Saturday moaning when he went away with Hunt abOut seven o'clock ; then wore Wellington boots very dirty all over, his trOwsers were very dirty about the legs, his coat was dirty on the back and arms, and he appeared to have been on the ground. The same morning John Thurtell had his blue dress coat off, and' Hunt wassponging it as it hung on the door been: kitchen ; there was no blood on the blue coat, but there were spots of blood on his light great coat.--I . A coat found by Ruthven in Hunt's lodgings was produced.] ,Witness could not identify it; a large piece of sponge produced was identified by .him to be that need by John 'Thurtell and Hunt, in sponging the bloody clot:es. On Sunday, John Thurtell, Thos. Thum'', Hunt, Probert, Mr. Noyes, 'Mr. Heward, and Mr. Nicholls. were at Probert's; Mr. Noyes came alone in a chaise, and Mr. Heward and Mr, Nicholls came about business.. On Mon day. morning, Probert told him to clean himself, to go to town with Mr. Hunt and Themes Thurtell; he did so, and accom- - panied them to London , ; Hunt drove them to St. Clement's Church, and then got out, and went into a house, but did not take any thing out of the chaise ; from thence they went to the Coach and Horses; Conduit. street ; left witness there, and told him Mr. Probert would come to him in two hours; Mr. J. Thurtell got out of the chaise, and Hunt drove away ; he did not see Mr. Probert on the Monday or Tuesday ;. a. police officer took him away on. Wednesday ; witness had never .before been taken to town. COltoNSit.—The body was removed out of the way by the parties to avoid accidents. --- Thomas Abel IVartl, of Watford, surgeon, sworn.— Was pre. sent at the examination of the body of the deceased person, Mr. William Wesre, this evening. I believe the immediate cause of the death was a wound on the anterior angle of the parietal bone, given by some instrument, which, from the marks, lam inclined to believe was the barrel of a pistol. Part of the skull was beat into the brains. There was another wound un der the protuberance of the right cheek bone, which had the appearance of a common gun or pistol-shot wound, and the ball repelled by the cheek bone. lam of *pinion that the wound in the right cheek was not of a nature, to cause death; but that the deceased died from the beating on the Ann with the pistol barrel. The injury was of that nature, that I con ceive the pistol barrel must have been " punched" with desperate violence into the skull of the unfortunate num.— ( Witness here produced a piece of deceased's skull bone, which he had extracted from the brains of the deceased on opening the head.). I also observed a wound cut by a sharp instrument on each side of the throat ; the jugular on the left side was divided, and the wound was sufficieneto occasion death ; the wound on the right side of the throat did not injure any parts of vitality, but merely severed the flesh under the ear. Conoto: it—lt seems that atter the deceased was shot he was able . to struggle with his murderer, and that he received the blows on the - head when resisting, and to make sure, as " dead men tell no tales, " his murderers . c ompleted their horrid work by cutting his th roat. The Coroner addressed the Jury at some length, and they returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Tliurtell, as a principal, and against hunt and Probert as aceessaries before the fact. The prisoners were conveyed to liertterti gaol. The Coroner and Jury expressed their conviction of T. Thurtell's innocence of the murder, and actpitted him ; but he was detained on a warrant brought down from. London, on a charge of conspiring to set fire to his • hotise, to defraud the County Fire Office. The prisoners are all well known as men of the town.— Hunt is the brother of Mr. Hunt, the vocal performer at Covent Uarden, and was in the habit himselt of singing in public. His, mother formerly lived in Bride-lane, and now lives in Mary-le-bone. lie married the sister to Mrs. Mountain, who kept the Naval Coffee-house In St. Martin's lane, and afterwards kept that house himself: presiding frequently as chairman to a Free and. Easy Club. His ways o f l i f e s oon led to his destruction. The two Thurtell are sons of Alderman Thurtell, of Norwich, a man of the highest respectability. They have recently become now lions from the action brought by them against the County Fire Office, for the destruction of their premises in Wet ling-street. The defence was, that the tire was wilfully occasionetll but they recovered. The County Fire Ot lice have since found a bill'against them on the evidence of one of their female companions, of whom they made a confidant.— John Thurtell mixed with. the lowest sporting characters, an t i was knoWn in the prize ring. 'On one occasion he backed and seconded the Birmingham Youth, or Martin, we forget which. Probert was formerly a wine-merchant, and has taken the be nefit of the Insolvent Act. He always maintained an appear. ince of respectability, and kept his horse and gig. Be has it wife and children. It was on Saturday stated, on authority, in the Jury-room, for a series of murders. A house was taken in that one of the prisoners had said that an atrocious plan had gs for the purpose, to which the victims which was never to be the case, unless it bil‘veEcia:orersatbner dbd2,3iedo was known they had money about them. One person named Wood was decoyed for thi3 purpm-.., but escaped by it rai.twle. John 'Annan stood behind iiie.dour with two iiumb-bells to knock old his brains, but he took the alarm in time and ran al Thomas Thurtell iras on Saturday busily engaged in prepar ing a statement of his . own. The T greatest credit is due to the Magistrates, the 'Coroner, and Mr. Noel, the solicitor for the prosecution, for the inde. fatigable manner in which they have devoted themselves to un ravel this most diabolical. transaction, which for cruelty end premeditated villany has not been exceeded in the annals of the crimes of this country. BURIAL OF MR. WEARE. It bad been arranged that the body of the deceased shoUld be interred in Elatree church-yard. Shortly before eleven o'clock, the tolling of the church bell announced that every thing was prepared for the melancholy ceremony. The coffin was borne on the shoulders of 6 men ; the brother of the deceas ed and most of the Jurors attend e d as mourners ; several coin lanterns before, and on either side of the coffin ; and in this manner the funeral train, followed by a considerable crowd, proceeded up Elstree-hill towards the church, which is about a quarter of a mile distant front the house at which the inquest was holden. The coffin was, as in ordinary cases, first carried into the church, which was lighted up for the occasion and then to the grave; the funeral service was read in both places by the Rev. --- Addow, the clergyman of the parish, As the coffin was being. lowered in the grave, the rope which was placed round the foot broke, and that part of the cof fin fell suddenly to the bottom ofthe grave, whilst the head being sustained by the other rope rested against the side of the grave, so that the coffin stood nearly upright. This unfortunate Amadeu t, as might be supposed, createdsome confusion ; but the sexton immediately descended into the . graVe, and by great personal exertion, in a short time succeeded in getting the coffin level at the bottom of the grave, which was about 12 feet in depth. The Clergyman then proceeded to read the remainder of the funeral service, and the crowd stood uncovered. The scene which now presented ltself was one which can never pasS from the recollection of those who witnessed it. The unusual hour of interment—the horrible and extraordinary manner in whiek.e' the man whose corpse had just been consigned to the grace had lost his life—the solemn stillness of the night, for:the wind which had been loud and boisterous during the dal had now fallen, and did not even shake the branches of the high trees with which the church-yard is.surrounded—the impussive nature of the beautiful and affecting 'composition which was read by the clergyman, who stood conspicuous in his white gown at the head of the grave, whilst all around him was darkness, except when the taint light of a lantern happened to fall on the countenances of some of the mourners—all these circumstances produced an effect on the beholders which we think can hardly be surpassed. The service being finished at about half-past eleven o'clock, the mourners retired front the church-yard, and the grave-diggers proceeded to fill up the grave. COLOMBIAN LOAN.

SOLBM QUIS DICEpE F,I4SUM AUDEir LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1823. We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day. The most important intePigence which they contain relative to Spain,is the annunciation in the Etoile, that on the 25th ult. a capitulation was signed for the surrender of Barcelona, Hos talrich, and Tarragona, which are to be occupied by the French troops. The same article also slates that 46 MINA has declared that the King of SPAIN may depend on his fidelity and devoted ness," —from which we are only to understand that MINA. has, as we expected, submitted to an adverse fortune which he could not controul.— Any thing like an effective attempt at resistance against the authority of leEttotNANn may, there fore, for the present, be considered as abandoned by' the Constitutionalists. Indeed, the idea of a prolonged struggle could only be dictated by their despair. We have frequently assured our Readers that our Cabinet placed perfect. reliance on the paci fic dispositions of . the Emperor A LEXANDER ; and our statements to that effect are now completely confirmed by the Note of Lord STRANGFORD to the PORTE. We confess that we do not much like the terms in which his Lordship speaks of the Greeks, and of the 44 unanimity of all the Cabinets," although hi s L or d s hip, of course, only means that they are uuanimous on the question between Rosin and, Turkey. The Journal d o D e b uts , it is true, also declares that they are unanimous respecting the heroic Greeks; and that their fat e will be decided at the European negotiations in a way conformable to the wishes of every people and of all parties. Unfortunately lc all parties" are not exactly agreed as to ,svhut the fate of the Greeks ought to be. Austria has shown herself not very favourable, to their cause, and , we suspect that the good wishes of Russia by no means extend to the establishment of their independence: The Journal des Debats evidently wishes to be believed, however, that they will be taken under the direct protec-' Lion, in some way or other, of the Christian Powers. We have only to express a hope, thou.hl we fear the contrary, that the expectation thus held out may he The eloquent speech delivered by Mr. CAN. NINO at Plymouth (see another column) seems to have every wh e r e unqua lifi e d , admiration, At the very moment that the French Ministry were en deavouring to repres!nt England in the light of an appendage to the Holy Alliance, incapable ever of entering into treaties or of recognizing the Governments of Independent States with out the concurrence of " all the Cabinets," it is not less important than gratifying to find that our own Forvign Secretary was ad dressing to the British Public truly British sen timents in British language, and was energe tically asserting the unshackled freedom, the proud and independent attitude, and the growing strength, resources, and power, of his country. Private letters from Zunte, dated the 4th Oc. toter, state that a naval action took place on the (22d September, between the Greeks and the Turks, off the Island of Mitylene. The G reeks captured two frigates and a brig of war, forcing the Turkish fleet, which had suffered great da mage, to take refuge in 'Oliveto. CITY, Txelve a'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 82i, and got up . to 83k, owing to several large sums being purchased for money.— The speech of Mr. CANxINO at Plymouth has had some effect in the City, and is highly spoken of.—l do not hear of any Expresses from Paris this morning. If any have arrived, they have not brought fresh Paris Papers, on account of its being All Saints' Day on tiatUrtitty. The docu• ment in the Journal des Damn's, received on Sa turday, is supposed to be from VILLELE, to sound the British Cabinet on the affairs of South America. Up to this hour we have no reports on 'Change. A good deal of business was doue early this morning in the above Market. FoacroN MAuxer.—Little ,doing except in Spanish Bonds, which opened at 28i. The insignificant Poyais Bonds were declining rapidly this morning; but owing to the Contractors coming to the Alley, and giving notice that the dividend would be paid to-day, they got them up to 6, hut they were previously done at 2 Premium.

POPE in Faulkner, and Mrs. \V. WEST in Julia, were not less effective in the pa• thetic incidents of the fable. The Cataract of the Ganges was so much applauded that it is likely to overflow the town. COYENT•GAR ncx.-- 7 The diverting old Comedy of Thc Inconstant was brought forward again on Saturday night. The Young 'Writhed of Mr. G. KEMBLE is one of the very best el forts of the present day, and is, indeed, a complete assump tion of the character, in conception and perform. ance. Miss FOOTE'S Oriana was very interesting indeed, and particularly in the little part in the, presence of the Bravos. By the way there was a gross absurdity : the supposed Page was or dered to send the red Burgundy, and the Sol. diary appeared in while. This absurdity we have seen before, and are surprized that it es. copes the notice of the Property man. Perhaps In !nay attempt to filet us out, by saying that the regimentals had red facings, but we trust that he will " reform" it altogether."--RAYNER was excellent in The Miller's Maid.
