THE MURDER OF MR. WEARE.

•
ETA 111 INA. TION ofMRS; PROBE RT and 31 ISS NOYEI3.
The Pxnroination of these women before the
Afnecrutes :Wetford was Protracted to eight okloelc en
Tuesday evening, when they were taken back by, Bishop and
Sinuncies to the Essex Arms, and were immediately conveyed
from thence to St. Alberts in separate pose-chaises. The le-
Male servant and boy lately in the employment of Mr. PrO_
pert were also examined. The forme; described the cirettlii.
stance of her seeing hunt lying cm the sofa on the evening, of
the murder,. and also spoke of the eircuinstence to which *a
yesterday alluded, namely, the sofa squab being stained .witti
blond.
Mrs. r vhcrt and Miss Noyes were found at their lolAkigs
in Castle-street, Long-acre, and in a basket belonging to the
former a pair of man's gloves found, which were very nimbly
and dirty; it is believed they belonged to Probert. 'Finer were
other steins on them, but whether of blood or not 18110 t
tiOth Or the unflirtunate women,: et the conclusion of Meer. est..
amination, were much depressed and greatly Patigned. '4eh
were taken down to Wetford by special summonses, and their
commitment to custody seems to have been a step jtisti4eil by
the disclosures which were made during their extunutattonf.
Mr. Clutterbucl and his brother Alagistrates are inderatiga-
ble in their exertions, and the former, we understand,'lnie pro-
posed to the Secretary of State to have the priSoners tried by
Special Commission; so that punishinent may promptly follow
the commission of a crime so atrocious.
Mrs. Probert is a good-looking woman, rather genteel in her
manners and person.,-/iliss Noyes has lost the sight of one eye,
and we should be distmsed to think is. not calculated to 'excite
such needing ofjealonsy as to lead to the commission of murder.
i Lemon, who s' the man of whom so much has been said
under the initial L. has not yet been taken; and as he knows
he is" wanted," hie keeping out of the way increases the sus-
piciott which has been excited, perhaps unjustly, egainst li rn.
It is stated that he has'directed his furniture to be sold fuel
that his eldre ante is taking steps for that purpose. ,
The chambers of the bite Mr. W eare, in Lyon's Inn, 'ewe
not been tes yet eitatnined. They are padlocked ; and the er..
minittion is not to take pine.: till the arrival of his elder
brother, in town. lt is suspected, however, that thq were
visited by Hunt on the Saturday after the murder. It will
be recollected that he left the servant-boy of Probert waiting
for him behind St. Clement's Church while he went on some
errand. The key of the Chambers, and the key of the e: et within them, were always kept by hlr. Weary, attached
to the purse which fell into the hands of the murderers, to that
weans were . afforded of rifling the rooms of their valuable mew,
tents—if the parties in question were so disposed.
Last night Mr. TETsEr.r., the landlord of the CoAth.ariti-1
Horves,Conduit-street, was apprehended by Bishop, on a war-
rant, in which he stood charged as " an accessary in aVettein
felony and murder." He was brought before Mr. 11.ALt.3, 14P
Bow street, and will be taken into Hertfordshire. !tail was
offered for hint to tiny amount, but refused ; Mr. Balls observ-
ing, that the warrant was issued by the Magistrates of Bert-
fordshire, and merely backed by him, and he could not, • there.
fore, do otherwise than send him down.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, November 6,

[Tut TimEs.]
The late Cortes have: sent forth a defence of
their conduct with what, the French call justifi-
catory pieces ,or doCuments,' the whole of which
.be found in this day's journal.. (See T a
a
Sul; of this. day.) The narrative, with its autho-
rities, is an interesting production. The chief
nference. which We should draw from it is, .that
the Cortes has consisted• of- individnals too scru
pulous of forms, and possessing too little of the
spirit of gallant daring, to act with success in re-
volutionary times. They say they have been
betrayed by the Government, that is, by the
Ministers whom themselves had sanctioned. We
believe their tale ; but we cannot help recalling
to mind the adage that Et: wise king never chose,
foolish ministers ; and inversely, we should sus-
pect that foolish or corrupt ministers are some
proof of imbecility in those .wbo had the ap-
pointment otthem. Cadiz, theti, 'has evidently
been given up by treachery : so 'much less honour
rill have been reaped by the invader ; and the
success of the cause, as we always maintained,
has been frustrated for the present by the
knavery and, incompetence of those to whom it
Was intrusted.

The Constitutionnel of Sunday and Monday
contains some observations on the conduct of the
English Government of lute years, and the re.
Winn in which it stands with respect to the Con-
tinent of Europe, which are deserving of some
attention. We believe rthe views taken in this
article are very general on the Continent. The
great Powers do England the honour of inviting
her to their Councils, but this, it would appear,
is rather from courtesy now than from the neces-
sity of paying any regard to her opinion. They
are not to be deceived by Mr. Canning's flourish-
ing about the mighty masses. As the Eng-
ligh Government, ever since the ilanmerian
Family were freed from a Pretender to the
Throne, has been hostile to liberty at home and
abroad, there would be no great cause for re-
gretting that successive Administrations have, by
their mad and profligate expenditure, put it out
of its power to interfere with the Continent, as
we may be sure 'that it would never interfere
to do good were the nation not exposed to suffer
at home from their folly. It is by no means gra-
tifying to reflect that the resources of the country
have bean wasted in raising certain powers to a
state which places it in a great measure at their
mercy. in what a different situation would
England now be if she had not embarked in the
war against the French Revolution, and 4011..

Yesterday was -kept as a close Holiday at the
Bank and Stock Exchange, and, according to the
usual c;Abtuip, the-gates of the Royal Exchange
were not, thrown open until noon. Some pri-
Vitte husineh, was, done in Consols• at the p Os-
ceding day's prices, and also in Spanish Bonds tit
at 284 to `2Bf, but the chief Brokers were not pre-'
sent, and business transacted extremely limited.

StqOy we are' more concerned in the welfare of

tested, that there is a great field in that country
for the employment of capital, and that it might
be employed very advantageously there. Surely
we are more concerned in promoting the benefit
of the people of Ireland than in promoting the
wild unintelligible schemes of a Cacique of Poyais,
or 4 Commander of the Order of St. John.

The last accounts at Valparaiso, from Lima,
were, that an expeditioe of 5,000 men had sailed
far the Intermedios. The Royalists had aban-
doned the attack,on Lima, as the Patriots bad,
been reinforced by 3,000 of Bolivar's troops.—
&jiver was daily expected to arrive at Callao
with some more men, which would make the Pa-
triot force at Lima and Callao strong enough to
sustain any attack. The Royalist forces in
tipper Porn were said to amount in all to 1'2,000

Or,. 420 ie. S. on the 9th May, under the com-
mand of Adm. Guys. ft was not generally sup-
posed that the Patriot expedition would succeed,
as tin measures were not, conducted by any
kind of system. The Government of Chili is in
a very destitute state. Freyre had become un-
popular, and was about to resign his Director-.
ship. A new Beglamanto had appeared, which
cl.aesed the duties and mode of doing business.
The Members for Congress had been elected,
and were soon to meet. It was thought they
would change the measures entirely. 'I he Council
had given O'Higgins leave to quit the country—
his party stilt very strong. A sloop of war and
sot»fit transports bad Sailed for Lima, to bring
away the Chili troops, who were said to be much
dissatisfied with the Peruvian service. There
was a rePort that San Martin was about to place
himself at the head of some followers of Men-
doza—but little confidence Was placed in it.

[MORNING- POSII
At a late hour last night we received Bayonne
Papers to the 20th ult. Their contents are of

considerable interest. They confirm what the
Etoile and Quolidienne had already asserted, and
represent the party of Ballasteros as rapidly
gaining ground in Andalusia. His army is said
to consist of nine thousand men, and to act un-
der his immediate command. This is rather at
variance with former accounts, but it is far from
improbable : for it is not to be supposed that he
would submit quietly to the disgrace of having
his name erased from the list of Spanish Gene-
rals, and if he was not too narrowly watched or
too closely confined to make his escape, there is
little doubt of his preferring the feeble chance
of success which resistance would give to the
certainty of ruin which must he consequent on
patient acquiescence in the triumph of despotism.
It is not to be expected, however, that he should
be able to effect any thing towards the redemp-
tion of Constitutional freedom. Even if, as it
is reported, he should make the Sierra Morena
the centre of his operations, and should
succeed in maintaining himself amongst the
fastnesses of that extensive► chain of rnoun•
tains, no lasting benefit could be derived from
a partial struggle. The time is unfortunately
past when Ballasteros held in his hands the li-
berties of his country. He might have rescued
them once, by remaining faithful to the cause
of which he had been for years the sworn and
one of the most distinguished defenders.—
That cause he abandoned, if he did not betray
it ; and though it might be, comparatively,
but for a moment, it was the moment which de-
cides the fate of empires, and which no after re-
pentance or after exertions can redeem. A list
will be found in the following extracts, of the
new Ambassadors sent by King Ferdinand to the
various European States. It is remarkable that
there is no appointment for England : is it meant
by this omission to imply that the situation is al-
ready filled, and to confirm Admiral Jabat in its
possession ?

EBItITISH PREMI
The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday were
anticipated in our columns of yesterday, and
there is since little of any foreign interest. By
accounts from Frankfort to the 28th of October,
it appears that, notwithstanding the meeting of
the two Emperors at Czernowitz, there is strong
jealousy on the part of Austria, roused by
the ambitious designs of the Northern Au.
tocrat on central Europe, and his artful inter.
ference in the affairs of Spain ; Pozzo di Borgo's
mission seems to have created it, and awakened
the suspicions of the Atistrian Emperor. Nessel-
rode and Tatischeff's conferences with old Met-
ternich, at Lemberg, clearly stew: that Alex-
ander's journey was of a stronger political nature
than he wished it to appear. Francis 1s said to
have arrived at Czernowitz. The discussion of
all subjects that could be productive of disunion
with Russia will be left to subsequent arrange-
ment between the two Courts. Thus any meet-
ing between these potentates appears to be far
frorn sincere, and only the hollow league of ambi-
tion that always characterizes despots in the midst
of apparent utility. Suspicion and jealousy inter-
sent., and pave the way for future contention. It
is ‘% ell for the repose and surviving freedom of
Europe it is so. Their disunion is its best assur-
ance and protection. Were they strictly united in
feeling and principle, they would crush with their
armed strength the liberties of half the civilized
world-. The last accounts from Spainov Melt will be
found in the following letter from Bayonne, speak
any thing but favourably of the state of the coun-
try, as concerns the idolized" Ferdinand. The
force of Bullasteros, it is said, every day increas-
ed, and amounted tat least to 0000 men ; they
showed the most determined opposition to the late
reforming measures of Ferdinand's Government,
and destroyed the triumphal arches by which the
tyrant was to pass on the road to the capital.—
Ballesteros, it is- added, was about to make the
Sierra Morena the centre of his operations ; there,
if he can obtain supplies for his army by turning
a part of his forces' into Guerillas, he may, long
resist any troops sent against him, and be a rally-
ing point for all the disaffected through Spain.

WINCICEPITER, Nov. T.—The weather during the whole of
Thursday 'night was tempestuous' beyond description. Snow
and rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a perfect hurricane.
the nelghb'Ourhood of Okford, its effects have been particu.
.larly felt; trees haVe been torn up by the roots, in Bagley Wood
and other pl aces ; and the waters are higher than ever remembered.
The Worcester Mail was overturned soon after leavinOxford,
by the violence of the gale: The Oxford coach, which arrived
here to-day, came through Ilighclere, it being unsafe to take
the• Newbury • road, in. conseqUence of the height of the
waters. None of the Bath coaches had arrived at Oxford
this morning ; and the Cambridge coach did not go out,
as some of the bridges on the road are said to be blown up.,

DRRADFUL ars.—Yesterday morning, about
'six o'clock, the neighbourhood or St. George's in
,the East was thrown into a state of the greatest
alarm ; a fire was discovered to have burst forth
in the oakum shop of the work-house of Saint
George's, which raged with such fury, notwith-
standing the heavy rain, that in less than an hour
the entire premises became a prey to the devouring
element. The prompt arrival of the engines suc-
ceeded in preventing the mischief spreading. It is
with regret we add, that several lives have been
lost, as many as seven mentioned. The confusion
was very great; the unfortunate inmates were seen
running in every direction, imploring aid ; the
scene was distressing to the greatest degree.—
About half-past nine o'clock last night a fire
broke out at a carpenter's shop in Bennet-street,
Stamford-street, Black_ friars-road, which did con.
siderable damage, but did not extend beyond the
premises.

An attempt to escape out of Newgate was dis-
covered on. Sunday afternoon : the capital con-
victs having cut all their rugs and blankets into
slips for the purpose of ascending to the top
of the Prison from the Press-yard. Informa-
(ion having been given of their intention, the
Governor and his assistants- repaired to that
part of the prison, and tin found the whole of
the apparatus for this Quixotic scheme ; it was
secured, and the whole of tlu convicts were im-
mediately locked up in tlwir cello. On Monday
the gheriff3 attended, and an 6xamination took
place, the result of which was three of the prin.
&pals were double-ironed and put into different
cell'..
