KNIGHTS OF Mark
The Braids Drade of the 13th instant gives the fol-
int. as an extract from a letter written by a re-
- table Gentleman in Paris:
There is no longer any douht that the Order of
aka will be re-establi,hed shortly. An island of
recce, which is ceded to it, is already mentioned, but
rudence induces us not to mention it at present. The
Order is, going to. send Deputies to the King of Spaini
to *claim its estates in that Kingdom, which the Cortes I
ordered to be sold. There is reason to hope that this
tegociation Will be successftil. The Illustrious Order of '
st,juhn of Jerusalem Will soon rise from its ashes, and
after haying so long served as a barrier to Europe,
4aing tbe,invasion and pillage of the relahometans, it
wdl aprn protect the commerce of the IVlediternmean
and Asiatic against the pirates of the coast of Africa."

• THE MURDER OF MR. WEAVE.. •'•
flearroun, NoveslßEß 16.—At the gaol the inter-
dict issued by the Magistrates, in regard to .the close
confinement of Thurtell, Hunt, and Probert, is most
rigidly kept up. No rank, influence, or connection, can
procure a violation of it. Exclusive of the chaplaiii,
die inspector, and attendants, no person has been ad-1
mitted since his professional adviser, the Gentleman
from Norwich, who is, of course, quite as impenetrable
is the rest. Two letters, both addressed to Hunt, and
without signature, are said to have been received at the
gaol, and submitted to the Magistrates, by whom they
were withheld, with sufficient i eason ; for every, one ad-
mits that the Magistrates engaged in the investigation
.of this horrid affair have manifested throughout the
most prudent zeal in the execution of their duty, mingled
with as much humanity and.henevolence to the accused,
t; the nature of the circumstances would permit._

J. Thurtell was tried at our Sessions, under a different
name, for gambling and swindling, but was acquitted
flit' want of evidence. By one of the stale tricks prac-
ticed an such occasions, lie had contrived to extract a
considerable sum from a credulous dupe, whose evi-
dence he afterviards found means CO get rid of.by a
bribe. What is matt extraordinar y is, that he afterwards
found means, by another trick, to cheat this egregious
simpleton out of the very.money with which be had be-
fore bribed him to defraud the ends of justice.
Some of the relatives of Mr. Noyes, who has lately
been so much talked of in connexion with the murder
of Mr. Weare, in the year 1818 resided at a retired spot,
called Brockiss, about a mile and a half from Gresham.
A ready-furnished house at this place being adiertised
to be let, was applied for, and taken by Mr. Emanuel
Noyes, with whom resided his mother and oaesisser;
they lived in a genteel style, visiting and receiving risks
from respectable persons. Probert Used• frequently at

'able farmhouse near Cheshasn, called Nightingale's
Farm. Mrs. Noyes frequently said to z person with
whom she was intimate, that she did not like Probers
-(on account, it is supposed, of his way of living)i and
that her desire was that her daughter should remain.at
school, or with some respectable family, till she became
of age. About the 16th of Jane, Mrs. Noyes was taken
ill., and expired before medical aid could be procured:
Mrs. Noyes's other daughter, who was at school,
came to Brockiss, as did also Mr. Tliomss Noyes,
and another person, supposed to be Probert. The
funeral was conducted by Mr. William Furst; of Ches.
ham, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Noyes, and the
body of Mrs. Noyes' was conveyed to Hendon, and in-
terred by the side of her husband. Thomas Noyes was
atthat time a wine and brandy-merchant, and lived in
'Swallow-street, London. The family soon after re-
moved from Brockiss.

The Irish. Tithe Bill is beginning to be acted upon,
and with every hope of-gradual but permanent success.

von of Captain Richard Rowe, Was at work in North
Seal-hole mine, St. Agnes, he inadvertently struck with
the instrument he had, in his hand the board on which

he was precipitated to the bottom, a depth of twenty
fathoms, and was killed on the spot. The deceased was
26*years of age, and was universally respected by all
