LriEH,Altlr NOTICE. POINTS OF MISERY, or FABLES FOR MANKIND, Prose and Verse, chiefly original. By CHARLES WEST. MACOTT. Illustrated with twenty designs by ROBERT CRUIKSHANK. Such is the title of a very amusing publicetion which has just appeared, and possesses strong ti aims to public attention, being equally creditable to the pen of Mr. Westmacott and the pencil of Mr. Cruikshank. Were it not for the fame Which the latter gentleman has so justly acquired by his able execution of the ludicrous department of the itraphic art, the little " POINTS OF MISErtY" 'could hardly be considered as promising amuse. .but such is the disposition of man, that he invariably deriies satisfaction from The contemplation of ludicrous Misery, when - exemplified in an individual to whom he is in. different. The " Points of Misery" (if not in tended as Foch) form an excellent comparison with the " Points of Humour" which appeared some months ago, illustrated by George Cruik- Aura, we believe the brother of the Astist, fthose work is now before us. We do not r-- collect to have seen Mr. Westmacott's name AttaChOd to any former work, but the . literary Merit of the '' Points of Misery," Words him strong claim to notiee. Some of the talesare written a neat, lively style, and ably second the etTort , i of 'Mr. Cruickshank in' depicting - the various mise ries in the strongest point of view. The attempt is a bold one, considering the success of the 44 Miseries of Human .Life," that appeared to have left no misery to which testy mortals are w,ibject unnoticed, the strongest praise, therefore, which we can bestow, is to say that it is highly successful. The miseries qt travelling ky coach are cournerated in a very amusing way, and the 1 4eompanyingplate is highly characteristie. The tbiseries of a London Lodging-house are Pxevsively Well imagined and as laughably narrated. In the plate, by a contrivance similar to that of Asmodeus, we haven complete view of the unenviable situation of the hapless student between his embarrassingl follow-lodgers. The miseries of wa lk i n g in Lon don; and the classification of the streets, Per. ambulators may rank with the most humorous parts of the work. The seventh " Point" or Mu trimonial Miseries, is very happily conceived. — Every object tells, and the misery is complete. The last tale, and with which we conclude oor notice, gives us a favourable specimen of Mr. 'Westmecott's poetic humour. Here the mise ries of living too, fat are very strongly pour trayed, and the gradual progress of the Eton Blood to the confirmed and " finished" spendthrift, is %well imagined and as skilfully nar otted. It is on the whole a highly amusing pro. duction, and should it meet with the encourage ment which it deierves, Messrs. Westmacott and Cruickshaok will .have no reason to be dissatis tied with the reflection that they have introduced more misery into society. PARIS PAPERS. (Ere" the Rielle.)

TUE MURDER OF MR. WEARE. Thurtell, Prober!, and Ilunt, persevere in re peating their several assertions and statements in Hertford gaol. Thurtell appears to have pecuniary resources, and pro. vides himself with a substantial diet : Probert continues weak and low•spirited. Thurtell, who is naturally a man of strong nerve, preserves his composure, employs himself in reading and writing, to prepare the Materials for his defence—expresses by his gesture a dislike to converse upon the topic ; and hints, in the most reckless manner, that he, shall prove that, he was not within seven miles of the spot at the time of the murder. Probert is, we understand, informed of the arrest of his wife and sister, but not of the strong circumstances which Mrs. Probert is said to have disclosed, He expresses great un easiness at her situation. The Magistrates have issued the strongest injunctions to prevent access to any of the prisoners, and those who are in immediate attendance upon them are pro hibited from pressing them into conversation. The High Sheriff of the county (Mr. Sutton) has been to visit the jail and inspect the situation in which these particular prisoners are placed.— Sir John Sebright, M. P., also called yesterday as a visiting Magistrate. Every possible precaution is taken to prevent ex ternal communication with them. Any article transmitted for their use is exposed to the strictest examination, to prevent the introduction of clandeitine information. Thur tell, however, expresso* no desire to correspond with any hotly. He Is deiirous,'as we have already stated, to have his memory refreshed upon Hunt's deposition before the Magistrates ; but the Coroner has not complied with his request upon that point. The house in Manchester.huildings, of which so much has been said, is No. 10: it was taken by Thurtell from the landlord, who is a respectable solicitor In Berners.street ; a quarter's rent is not yet due upon it, and Thurtell says he gave the key to a friend, whom he does not name, a few days ago. It is the last house but one at the right hand side of Man chester-buildings, next the water ; and as the last is merely oc cupied as an Office by . the Carnatie. Commissioners, and the oppo site house (the Bake of Manchester's) kept by a steward, it would be difficult to find in the Metropolis a house better adapted for the secret perpetration of any outrage. Thurtell's story of in tending to carry on the bombasin trade there is perfectly ridi culons. Ile' is more catttious about alluding to his gaming asso. dates now, than at the beginning of his imprisonment, and at present seems more anxious to be considered as a casual visiter ,at " the hells," than as partner in their odioui profits : he even says, when speaking of one of the gaming-house proprietors lately convicted in the Court of King's Bench, that that person entreated him to abstain from frequenting the house in St. Jamees.street and • Pall.mall, • for that he (Thurtell) was not the customer they wanted, and gave him 50/. out of a sum which he had lost on the same night, to quit. Thurtell daily inquires respecting Probert's situation, with an affected air of concern for his agitation. The Winter Assizes will commence (it is understood) on. the 'Bth of next month, and the trial of theie prisoners will of neces sity speedily take place. Yesterday the whole of the furniture belonging .to the un fortunate Mr. Weave was removed from his chambers, No:2, Lyon's-Inn, Strand, (the two.pair of stairs of whiCh he occupied.) The articles, which were very good, were conveyed away under the direction of his two brothers, as privately as possible. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, Mr. Tetsall, the land lord of the Coach and Horses tavern, in' Conduit-street, .Bond street, to the groat 'JO) , of his, family and friends, arrlved at home, having, as'we stated yesterday, been set at liberty by the Magistrates, after being bound over in a recognizance to attend next Hertford, Assizes, to give evidence against the prisoners. Mr. Tetsall, whilst ke was in custody, detailed to the Ma gistrates the whole of the conduct of the accused at his house during the week the murder was committed, and gave the name and description of every person who about that time visit ed John 'Martell and his associates, and active search is now making after an individual who has been well known as a ".blood on the town" for a great number of years. The Ma gistrates expressed their entire satisfaction with Mr. Tetsall's statement. The watch of Mr, Weare has not yet been found : it way a valuable article, to which were appended several seals, and very finegold lady's neck-chain, which being doubled, formed a handsome watch chain. This is the chain which Mrs. Probert delivered to the Magistrates at Watford on Wctlnesday night The chain had been identified as the property of Weare. hunt says that John Thurtell had the watch, 4!ICC. to dispose of; and John Thurtell says that Bunt .brought it town to part with it ; and he got rid of it. Mr. T. Noyes was last night, after his examination, conveyed to St. Alban's gaol. Whilst on the road, his distress of mind was extreme ; he frequently protested most solenthly, that he was completely innocent of all knowledge of the shocking affair till long after the murder. It is alleged that on the Sunday, when he went down to Probert'a two days after the murder, he was informed by the murderers that they'had done the deed. There• is no evidence as to his receiving any part of the plunder, or, la fact, any thing against him at present, but concealing the - fact from the Sunday morning, at which time the corpse was in Vrobert's pond. Mrs. Probert and Miss Noes were present on the Sunday when Mr. Nichols asked Probert" What manoeuvres were you up to in she lane .on Friday night ?" To which Probert re. plied, " That lie, knew nothing about it ;" and they did not as sert the contrary. It it stated that Hunt, since his failuie in business, has been extensively engaged in dealing in smuggled EXAMINATION OF MR. TETSALL. ( Received at n tote hour last night. ) WnnTort% Flair/AY, Nov. 7.—Several of the Magistrates met this day at the house of Mr. Clutterbuek, in order to con tinue,thelr examinations and inquiries. We have already an. noupced the apprehension of Mr. Tetsall : he was for a long time yesterday under examination before fi ve M a g istrates, and two geutlemen of respectability in this county. MAG 'ST naT : What Is your name ?_Charles Tetsall. You are the landlord of the Coach and Horses Tavern, Con. dult.street P—Yes. I am. When did the Thurtells come to lodge at your house ?.....The two Thurtells came to my house with Probert on the Tuesday before the murder ; but they did not sleep at my house tilt the following night. What did they say to you when they came to your house?— Probert said, these Gentlemen have businesa that they wish to transact in private ; which they cannot do in a public room like your parlour ; I know you haven private room—can't you let ua have it while we stop ? I replied, " Most certainly; if you want it only for a short time." Probert said it is only wanted liar a few days. Who slept et your house on the Wednesday night prior to the murder ?.-.One of the Thurtell's, but I am not positive which of them ; I told them I had only a double-bedded room to sPare, and they said that would do very well. Who visaed the Thurtells at your house ?.-Mrs. Walker and her husband, and other persons, strangers to me, whose busines.s I laid no knowledge of. Who wive at your house on the Thursday ?—I believe there were seven persons who dined at toy house. Pe you know who they were?-1 do not know them all. State those you do know ?—dohn and Thos. Thurtell, Hunt. Probed, and Thos. Noyes ; the other two were perfect strangers. Mailed of men were the strangers ; describe them ?—One , was a fine portly man, at least alit feet in heighth, dressed in black, fresh coloured, and had a very gentlemanly appearance. I What sort of a man was the other ?-11e was a man of short c stature, florid complc;cion, and what I call a good looking little man. What was his dress ?--Ile wore a black coat and . waistcoat; his smallcloathes I cannot dercrihe, nor can I say' if he wore trowsers or breeches. Did you know Mr. Weare, the deceased P.—No, I did not: You never saw Mr. Weare ?—I never saw-Mr. Weare till I saw him in his coffin at laitsee. • • Then you did not know" Mr. Weitre at all?—No, I did not, Sir, gave you any reason to think that the deceased person you saw in his coffin Eat Elatree, was the little man that you de. scribe as having dined at your house with the Thurtells, &c., on the Thursday ?—I certainly believe not; he did not appear to me to resemble the deceaml. .'Ten you feel confident that •11.1 r. Weare was not the person? --I never heard the name of Weare mentioned amongst the party ; and from my observation of the deceased when in his coffin, 1 feel almost positive that it could not be him. Who slept at your house on the Thursday night ?—They had the room to themselves, sometimes one and sometimes the other slept in the room, but which slept on that night there 1 do not know, but I think it was Thos. Thurtell. It is very strange that you should not know those two persons whom you have described as strangers ?—however strange it may appear it certainly is the truth ; they had been invited, as I suppose, by the ThurtelPs, and my curiosity did not eed me to ask who they were, and their names I never beard. Were their names never mentioned ? If they were I did not observe it, and to my knowledge I never saw them before or since. • Do you know a man named Leman P—No, Ido not. You never heard his name mentioned amongst this party at your house ?-1 never did. To your knowledge did no person. of that name visit at your house P—Not to my-lenowlege. • Was no card with the name of Leman on it left for the party at your bar, or in the house?—l 'never heard of a card being left of any kind at my house for the Thurtells, and am posi tive no such thing was left. It is very material that we should discover who those two strangers were , : cannot pa call to mind who they were? And did you never hear either of them named ?—To my knol ledge 1 never heard either of. them named. (This question was frequently repeated, and answered nearly in the same manner.) You say . you never saw these two strangers at your house at any other time?-1 never saw them at my house except on the Thursday ; at least nave no recollection of it. Who had you at your house on Friday ?—Five persons break fasted in 'frittrtell's private room, for which they were charged 7s. lid., as they had beefsteaks. Who were the tixe persons P—John and Thomas Thartell, Ilunt, Probert, and Thorns Noyes. Did they remain in your house during the whole of the Fri day P—They were, in and out of the house frequently ; they considered the room their own, and went out and came in just as they pleased. Did they all dine at your house on the Friday ?—l' believe that four of thorn dined at my house on the Friday. Did they have any wine Lifter dinner P—They drank beer at "inner, and drank grog after' their dinner, and the charge alto gether cause only to Us. Did you lend any money on the day to any of the party ? Yes, I did. What money did you lend 1-1 lent 5 /. To whom P--To Mr. Probert. What did he say when he borrowed the money ?—He sent it word by my boy that he wanted to borrow 51. and I sent it up to him ; it was a 51. note, and he sent it down again to me, and said he must have smaller change, and I then sent bins five sovereigns in lieu of it, which he gave with another sovereign out of his pocket to John Thurtell. Did you see him give it to John Thurtell ?—1 did not see him give it ; but Probert said it was for John Thurtell. You have known Probed for some time ?—Yes, for a series of years. Did you owe him any money at the time you lent him the N. 4--Yes, I diEL flow much?—Between six and seven pounds. And that is all ?*Yes ; it was not seven pounds. Then you did not consider you were rmining any risk by lending the money ?—Cert.tinly not, as I was in his debt ; and if he had asked me for 101. he would have had it, if I had got it, such was my opinion of him. And Wit you then such a good opinion of Probert ?-- - I had no business to have any other opinion of him, from my knowledge of him ; he always acted uprightly in our dealings Did ou know that he had been a bankrupt ?—Yes, I J • did. " And that he had not obtained his eartiticate ?—Yes, I did. And that he had been in-the Bench for sometime P—Yes, I did. And nrawktitstanding all this you' lent him money ?—I eerS taiuty did. • And I suppose if any of the others had asked for money they might have had it ?—I 'beg your pardon, Gentlemen ; I cer 7 . tailly would not have lent money to persons that I was so un acquainted with ; there is but one besides Probert that I would have lent a shilling to. And pray who is that one'?—Mr. Thomas Noyes. And you would have lent him money ?—Yes ; if he had ask ed to borrow M. he might have had it, if I had got it by me, such was my opinion of him ; as far as I knew or hint I always considered him a gentleman. He is a wine-merchant, is he not ?—Yes, he is, and always was considered a respectable man. You are not aware that you owe Air. Noyes and Pmbert about 601. for wine anti spirits?--1 am quite sure that Ido not owe a shilling beyond the odd, as I before stated, and that was on a bill which I owed to Noyes and Probert for wine; it was a kind of partnership transaction, and my bill was in the name of both of them, and of course I could not object to lend them V. time did they quit your house on the Friday P--Be tween five and six O'clock in the evening. Who were the parties ?—I understood that there was a gig brought to my door, and some of them left in it to go to Pros bent's cottage. I did not see the gig at all. Do you not know who got into the gig P—l do not. Were there two gigs ?—i heard of only one being at my door, but there might have been another; I was busy, and did not observe. Who do you suppose went away in the gig ?-1 suppose it was John.Thurtell and Hunt. Why do you suppose so ?s- Because they were always in the supposed it might have been them. habit of riding togeth er, and as the y had a g i g before, and rode out together, Who generally •brought the gig e- the door ?—Hunt. • Who held the horse's head ?—I can't say. What sort of a horse was it?--A dark horse. Any marks on the face ?-1 did not observe. Did you observe the conduct of the party in your room at any particular time ?—From what 'I saw of them I considered that Hunt was a greet blsekguard, and I did not think that John Thurtell was any better. Thomas Thurtell appeared to be quite a different man ; but the conversation of the other two Was quite disgusting. Did you Observe an air gun about your room when they were there, or in their absence ?—I never saw any such weapon in the house. What time did the party generally go to bed ?-oetterally early ; Thomas Thurtell was always early to bed, except on the Friday night.

Did you lose one of their I.—Some of the party took one of them away, and I understand it was Bunt._ When did sou miss it ?-0n the Friday morning, and I told Thomas Thurtell of it, 'and I said some of your party has taken it; but I suppose it is a joke, and they will return it. Thomas Thurtell said it was a liberty they ought not to take, bet lie supposed it was done in a joke. What time did Thomas Thurtell get up on Saturday morn ing ?-lle got up at nine o'clock. What time did John Thurtell arrive at your house on Satur. day ?--I do not know, for I did not see hint come in; but both John and Thomas slept at my house that night. Did Hunt come to your house on the Saturday ?—tie was there,. hut did not stop long. Did you nutlet: his dress at that time ?—Black coat and waist. coat, as usual.

John Thurtell observed that he should take Noyes up on the road, and I under stood afterwards that he did. When ou put these things in the gig, did you observe any thing ?— X'es, I did, I saw a shovel or spade across. the foot. board.

Stories EXPLOSION in the MINTON COAL PIT, A Coroner's Inquest on the body of Thomas golightly, one of the sufferers by the explosion of fire - dainp , in one of the Marquis of Londonderry's eellieriesi, in the neigh bourhood of nainton, near Durham, as mentioned in our paper of Thursday, took place at a public-house, near to the scene of the fatal catastrophe, before PETER Bow I.LY, Esq., Coroner, and a very respectable Jury. The evidence that was adduced was not of a very interesting nature, merely extending to show that the explosion took place about six o'clock in the morn ing ; that when the denim' was apparent, the overmen and per. sons in authority in the pit exerted themselves to the utmost to avert the dreadful consequences that followed, but it could nut be ascertained by what means the.inflarnmable air became nited, and that previously to the accident the pit had been eon.; sidered perfectly eafe. . . Mr. puddle, the Marquis of Londonderry's principal vimer, attended the inquest. He said he could not form any correct opinion on the subject; but the probability was, that the fed air had been forced out of some of the old workings, by the falling in of part, of the roof, and had in its progress, which, he said, could not by any possibility exceed the distance of a yard in a second, become ignited ; but whether front carelessness or accident, it was impossible to say. It appeared from the testimony of the witnesses, and Mr. Buddle's staternents,,that if the overmen had lout sufficient time to admit a current of pure air, the danger would have been relieved. All the overmen were killed—one whilst proceedine to acquaint his superior of the state of the mine, and another whilst proceeding to an air-door to admit fresh air, but having nearly half a mile to traverse, the explosion had taken place before he could effect his object. It was proved that Davy lamps were the only lights used in dire pit, so thane blame can he attached to any individual for the use of a light of any other description. The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the Jury with. out hesitation returned for their verdict--" That the deceii.sed, Thomas Golightly, came to his death in consequence of a quail, tit) , of inflammable air taking fire ; but what caused th at a i r to take fire they could not atty." - The extent of the calaMity is greater than our correspondent at first understood, 63 inert and boys having met an untimely death instead of the number mentioned on Thursday. p cu it r ' ed so , At the time of ... the esc ex a p; d sio . n Ot there Ic these, w er were about ahotz L 1 8 0 0 w u l l t e o nin were th in e altogether unhurt; but of those. who' were e) in i jo rl r m ed a different part of the mine from that where the ilos'n werethat 2B or five or six are not expected to li ve , ; the reniaunter are out ix danger.
