• THE LATE HORRIaJWURPEA
aO.llO,

•"• • •
Tuesday even;hg, shout fbtit-or fiVedittock, an officer
arrived. in town with instructions for the arrest of two
persons who were known to be associated whir John
Thertell and Hunt in several gambling transactions:
The warrant having been backed by one of. the Divi-
sional Magistrates, the officer immediately proceeded to
the respective abodes of the parties, one of Which is in
the Lambeth•read, and the other not far from the Am-
phitheatre, Westminster-bridge. After a vigilant en-
quiry, he was enabled to ascertain that they ha.d both
left town in the early part of last week, but the direc-
tion they had taken was either unknown or kept a
secret. However, the arrest of those persons, whoever
they are, could, we presume, be, of little consequence
in the present state of the proceedings.
Ir has been already stated, that warrants had been
granted by the Watford Magistrates, and hacked by
Sir R. Wylie, against several individuals who are sup-
posed to have, in some way or other, been implicated
in the murder. In addition to those against whom sus-
picion points, the officers have been night and day on
the look out for a-roost desperate character; one of the
London sharpers, who was the bosom friend of John
Thartell, and well acquainted with the unfortunate
Weare. They scoured ail the haunts at the west end of
the town, where it is well known he nightly Asited, but
he was not to be found till a laWhour on Tuesday night,
when, in a manner most extraordinary (which for the
present we refrain from describing), they discovered
him at a house in the liainpstead-road. On being told
upon what subject he was ssanted,". his countenance
turned pale, and he scarcely spoke a word. He was
secured and carried to Bow-street, from srlie:-.ce he will
be taken before the Her:tOrd Magistrates. We could
not ascertain his name. Upson and Yeates were the
officers who apprehended him.
Mr. Noyes and his sister having been brought from
St. Alban's, underwent a long examination on Tuesday.
The proceedings of the Magistrates- were not brought
to a conclusion till nearly six o'clock, when Mr. Noyes
and his sister were again sent back to St.,Alban's
Two other witnesses were examined in the course
of the day, namely, ltushingham, the man from whom .
Hunt bought the sack and cord ; and Thomas Heron,
the ostler, to whom Hunt delivered the horse and gig,
the morning after the removal of the body of Mr. Weare
from Probert's garden. The latter man describes the
cushions of the gig to have been extremely wet and dirty
when brought home, and also says, that the horse was
much distressed. The manners of Hunt, he adds, were
extremely agitated.

With respect to the policy which Britain would pursue
in the event of an attempt being made on South Ame-
rica, it would no doubt depend on circumstances. That
she will immediately recognise the independence of
South America, seems probable; and indeed the ap-
pointment of Consuls is either a virtual recognition of
these States, or a step to it. She has a clear right to do
this; and she ought to exercise it. She is not hound, in
this matter, to consult any other Power; every inde-
pendent State having the right to act for itself. Whe-
ther, if the French troops are sent over to assist in
crushing the new born independence of South America,
Britain will interfere as an ally of the Independents,
and take part in the war, is a question quite distinct
from that of the policy of recognizing their separation
from the mother country. Before tiking such a step,
much consideration would be necessary. Having been
neutral in the cause of .Spain,. on the san e ground she
might remain neutral in the cause of her colonies ; more
especially as she may consider that the business of repel-
ling the unjust attack of France may be better done with--
out her. The United States have an equal interest with
Great Britain in the protection of South America. But
we do not suppose that they will go to war with France on
this account ; and why then should Great Britain step
forward as a volunteer in the cause ? .At the same time
it is evident that with all these wars going on around
us, and armed squadrons of the belligerents cruizing
in those seas which are covered with our trading
vessels, causes of provocation may be given; this
will give rise to remonstrances; and to what issue
these may come will depend greatly on the tem-
per of the different parties. If they are carried on
in a spirit of jealousy and haughtiness—and if the
old and unhappy
~animosity be once awakened be-
tween Britain and, France, every new remimitrance
will only widen the breach ; the slightest differences
may be aggravated into a serious quarrel; and the two
nations may be agaiu plunged into a war which na-
tional rivalry will protract, until animosities are engen-
dered which will make peace impossible; and thus
the two countries will go on warring, who knows bow
k long, without any rational object, until, wearied with
the struggle, they agree to a peace which they might
just as well have concluded some ten years before. We
may hope, however, that a policy, temperate but 6rm,
'may yet preserve us from those calamities, and guide
as through the narrow strait of neutrality, without
striking on any of the rocks or shoals which lie in our
way.—Cededonian Mercury. •
