ROYAL NAVY, &c. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 21.—We have intelligence from Ja maica to the 11th ult. The Isis, JO, Capt. 'r. Forrezt, C-8., sailed from Port Royal on 25th December, for Santa Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres, taking James Henderson, Esq. Con sul-General to Colombia ; Tho Mas Tupper, Esq. Consul for baguira; Henry Watts,-Esq.-Consul for Carihagena ; and Malcolm Macgregor, Esq. Consul for Panama. The Argus, IS, Captain Dundas, had .taken James Henderson, Esq. (and family,) Consul-General to Santa Martha ; and the Assiduous schooner, had sailed with Robert Sunderland, Esq., Consul for Maracaibo, with John Hardy, Esq. and Dr. Cousens: The Gloucester, 74. Captain Lillicrap, sailed on the lOth January, for the Havannah and England; but she was to wait at the former place the arrival of Commodore Sir Edw. Owen, K.C.B. who was gone-in the Pyramus to examine Cochrane's Passage, at Nassau, in New Providence. Capi. Chas. Montague Walker is appointed to recommission the Medina, 20, at this port. for foreign service.—Lieutenants E. Stevens, to command the Scourge cutter; Henimens and Hamilton, to the Blanche; Plazenburgh, Samarang; Sherrer, Hecla ; K. Griffiths, Medina; J. E. Parlby, Albion : Mr. Cmimmo, Purser to the Blanche. Sir Humphrey Davy, the President of the Royal Society, and Sir Robert Seppings, Surveyor of the Navy, returned to town this morning, after having been enagaged three days at this Dock-yard, in directing experiments made at the bottoms of the Semar a n g , 21, an d Manly gun-brig, which were taken into dock for the purpose ; likewise on, four boats, coppered under their direction, with a view to ascertain, upon a large scale, the effect of the galvanic principle, which Sir Humphrey proposes to apply in a particular manner, for protecting the copper sheathing on slips' bottoms from cor rosion, and, probably, from foulness. The principle, we un derstand, is, to render the whole copper on a ship's bottom Electro.negative, by the application of a certain Quantity of zinc or iron in close contact with the ship's copper, .or any part of her bottom under miter, which zinc or iron only will suffer all the oxidation or corrosion,, preserving the copper entire. Yesterday a Deputation from the Portsmouth Philosophical Society, consisting of the President (D. Howard, Esq.) and Mr. H. Deacon, waited on Sir Humphrey Davy, to thank him, in the name of the Institution, for the many very important and useful discoveries which he had made in his scientific in vestigations. The Gentlemen were highly pleased with their reception, which most courteous. Sir Humphrey con sented to become an Honorary Member, and expressed his readiness to serve the Institution in any way in which it should be in his power to do so. A Court Martial has been held three days on Mr. I'. Col lins, Master of his Majesty's ship Cyrene, on charges of ne glect of duty—not observing the Captain's orders—for having conducted himself in a very insolent and highly disrespectful manner to his commander (Captain Grace). The Court (of which Sir Wm. Hoste, Bart. K.C.B. was President) decided that the charges had not been proved, and therefore adjudged Mr. Collins to be acquitted. - - EAST INDIA SHIPPING. 1.

He also remarks the want of shoe-blacks, stationed in different parts of the streets, which are so conve nient for cleaning the shoes of those who are ex posed t• the effects of dirty streets. HUNT'S CONFESSION.—(ConcIuded.) The next morning (Saturday), as soon as it was sufficiently light, I went with John Thurtell to the lane to look for the pistol andpenknife ; but we were unable to make anY very particular search; because some labourers were near :tire spot, employed in repairing the road. We however saw a great quantity of blo6tf at the place "where John Thurtell said he had cut Mr. Weare's throat. Thurtell, in order to account for our being there, and „also .for .the blood, if they should discover it, pretended to the labourers that we had been up set there overnight in the gig. About eight o'clock Probert came -down stairs, and we told him we had been looking in the lane for the lost things, but could not find them ; and he promised, after breakfast, to take the dogs, and go to look after them. In the course of the morning he took us round to the shrub bery, and pointed out a spot where he thought it would be best to bury the body • because, as he said, it was very:. much hid by the shrubs and trees • and he desired us to bring down a new spade from town, as he had not one that was fit for use ; and he said, that he would assist at digging in the night-time, be cause he understood it better than us ; and he said, " I will not leave here until every thing is safely stowed away." After we had breakfasted, Probert put the bag, the box, and the gun into the chaise, and John Thurtell and I went to Lon don. On reaching xford-street, John Thurtell got down, saying he would go the hack streets to Tetsall's, for fear he should meet Upson, who had the warrant against him for the Fire-Office prosecution ; and he desired me to take all the things home to my lodgings, and return the horse and chaise, and then join him at Tetsall's. On the Sunday morning, I again got the horse and chaise for John Thurtell and me, to go down to the cottage, and the spade was put into the chaise. On the road we overtook Thomas Thurkll, and John got out of the gig to let his bro ther ride. On arriving at the cottage, Thomas threw the spade over the hedge into the field, and Probert afterwards went and fetched it from thence, and again pointed out the, place where the body should be buried; and in the course of the morning, while walking in the garden, J. Thurtell told his brother Thomas, in my presence, where the body was secreted. He pointed to the place in the pond, and said, " There lays the b-y thief, safe enough, who robbed me of 3001., and would not lend me 51.; that's the way all such b----s should be served ; and it will not be long before we have Holding there." Thomas Thurtell laughed, and said it was a famous place for the purposs, because there was no other house near. In the course of the afternoon Probert went to Mr. Nicholls, and, was absent about two hours. On his return he appeared greatly agitated ; he called me into the garden, and told me he had been much alarmed, in c on se quence of his having seen two sr three gentlemen at Mr. Nicholls', one of whom told him that he had heard the report of a pistol about eight o'clock on Friday night ; that another man had said he heard two pistols ; and Mr. Nicholls said a report was raised that dreadful groans had been heard, and some one calling out for help, and say ing, " 011! John, for God's sake spare me, and I'll give you all the money I've robbed you of." That at the time this was mentioned, he (Probert) had a glass of gin and water in his hand, which, with his great fright and trembling, shook very much, and he was so agitated that he thought he should have dropped, and had no doubt he should actually have fallen if he had not sat.down ; and he was very much afraid lest his agita tion should have been discovered. While Probert was relating this to me John Thurtell came out, and Probert repeated it to him, and added, that Mr. Nicholls had talked about dragging the pond for large fish, and said, " Of course, if this is done, the body will be found. John Thurtell appeared alarmed at this information, and said, " Then I am done." After what had passed at Mr. Nicholls's, we all became very much afraid that some stir would be made in the business; and in order to prevent the boy from being questioned, or giv ing any information as to what he had seen or observed, it was determined to take him to London. And on the Sunday night it was settled that the boy should go up in the chaise with me and Thomas Thurtell, m order that one of the Thurtells might get him a place in London. Several plans were then talked of f or di s p os i ng c f t h e b o d y . Thomas Thurtel suggeited, that it would be a safe way to get rid of it, is cut off the head and bury it, and bring the body to the house in Manchester-bulding s , and secrete it there until a convenient opportunity occurred of throwing it into the Thames; and then, if it floated, no one would be able to recognize it ; and this I understood, was to be adopted. Accordingto the arrangem ent w hi ch h a d b een ma d e t h e over pla n ' night, the boy came up to London, on the Monday morning, with Thomas Thurtell and me, in Probert's gig. dl h a u da r t t el I betters , , Ennison, and myself, dined at Noyes, Thomas said to his brother, , T , T John,eha e ll 1 8 % i n a t T n i threego down and tell Probert that Hunt's mother has declined being bail, so that he may get another."— John, who understood what was meant, replied " Very well ; Hunt, you go and get the horse and chaise agpin, and we will ride down:" And he di rected me to d r i ve to Tyburn-gate, and there wait for him." It was nearly six o'clock before John Thurtell joined me; he was dressed in a great coat and trousers over his breeches, which 1 had never before seen him wear. On reaching Elstree we stopped at Field's for nearly an hour, and then went on to the cottage. On seeing Probert, he expressed considerable fear of a dis covery, and begged that the body might be removed as early as possible that night from his premises ; and he stated his deter mination, in consequence of the reports in the neighbourhood, to leavethe cottage entirely, with his family, on the following Thursday. Probert suggested the propriety of cutting.all the clothes off the deceased, so as to prevent his being identified; and he undertook to rend or cut them into small shreds, and distribute them in such a manner as that they could never be put together again or be known. Between 12 and 1 o'clock Probert and John Thurtell left me with the females, while they, under pretence of getting the bores harnessed and chaise ready, took the body from the pond, and cut off the clothes. Probert took out with him a white handled knife for the purpose. After they had been out some time, Probert came in and told me the chaise was all ready, and that Thurtell was waiting for me. I then took leave of Probert and his family, and on joining John Thurtell,' per ceived the dead body, enclosed in a sack, laying in front of the gig. We went on with it to the pond near Elstree, and there threw it in. That pond I understood was selected, because it contained several feet in depth of soft mud, into which the body would sink, and there was therefore no danger of its being dis covered. We then came together to Coventry-street, where I put him down, and after returning the horse and chaise to the place from whence it was hired, I went to my own lodgings. On Tuesday afternoon I joined the Thurtells at Tetsall's ; and about 3 o'clock Probert's chaise was brought there, and Thos. Thurtell desired me to go down to Probert to arrange about bringing up his children the next morning. I accord ingly went, bat happening to stop at Field's in my way down, I heard some people talking about a woman having been found drowned in a pond ; and suspecting it might be Weare's body that had been discovered, I became greatly alarmed, and in stead of going on to Gill's-hill Cottage, I returned directly to town to the Thurtells, and told them what I had heard, and my fears that something was wrong, on which John was as much frightened as myself, and lie said to his brother, " You had better go down, Tom, and inquire the particulars, and you can do it with safety, because no one knows you." Thomas Thurtell accordingly went down almost directly, with the same horse and gig, and that was the way he happened to be at Pro bert's when the officers went there and apprehended him. All the things belonging to Mr. Weare had been taken to my lodgings, until John Thurtell should have an opportunity of taking them to some man in the city whom he said he knew would buy them ; but as there was some danger of suspicion fall ing on us, and a probability of a search being made at our lodg ings, it was determined to get rid of any thing that was likely to be identified, and also to remove the marks of blood from the great-coat which had been worn by John Thurtell when he committed the murder, and which was still under my bed. We accordingly went to my lodgings, and sent my wife out on an errand to redeem a coat of mine that was in pledge at a pawn brokers' in St. Martin's-lane, while we did what, was necessary. We tried, by washing the sleeves of the coat, to remove the stains of blood, but could not succeed, and it was therefore de termined to cut the sleeves , off, and throw them separately away, and secrete or otherwise dispose of the body of the coat. The sleeves were left with me to get rid of, and I threw them down the privy of the house where I lodged, and the other part without the sleeves was dropped in Mary-le-bone. Thurtell cut Mr. Weare's hat in small pieces, and threw the pieces in a street near Maddox-street. He also threw a white handled razor and strop on the pavement in a street facing Mad dox-street and Bond -street, which was directly after picked up by a man accidentally passing by. Mr. Weare's tortoise-shell comb and hair-brush he dropped in the middle of the same street, and a housewife filled with thread and needles belonging to the deceased was thrown behind the railings of a house in Maddox-street. The next morning I was apprehended, and John Thurtell also, when after undergoing a short examination at Bow street, we were conveyed to Watford ; and there, in conse quence of the solicitations and promises made to me, 1 dis closed where the body was concealed, and confessed many of the leading particulars of the horrid transaction. I also told the officers what articles they would still find belonging to Mr. Wear, at my lodgings. The reason for marking out Mr. Graham, who is, as I understand, related to Mr. Clutterbuck, was, to get rid of a prosecution he was carrying on against some parties who 1 , 10 won a large sum of m one y from him : and Weare and others were supposed to be urging on the prosecution, because the party who won the money refused to let him share with them. JOSEPH HUNT. WAR WITH ALGIERS. The intelligence of the actual commencein tit of hostilities between this country end Algiers/ was announced in the greater part of our irpres - on Saturday. We now, however, for the ii formation of the whole of our Readers, give the subjoined official notification of the event, free' Saturday night's Gazette. The Algerines will, 01 course, soon be compelled to sue for peace' In the mean time, the cause of Greece will derive some benefit from the gallants/ of our cruisers being employed against a part of their enemies. An Algerine squadron cannot now venture to co-operate with the Turkish fleet, should the Porte, notwithstanding the unfortunate issue of all its naval operation 67 undertake another campaign on that element, which! the skill and activity of the Greeks have already been so frequently triumphant.
