Mr. CHITTY, at a late period of 'lle day, rerewed

his motion.
The answer of Rtithvei Was•then read. It set forth
that he had taken and detained Thomas Thurtell, in
obedience to an annexed warrant, which purported to be
issued on an indictment against Thomas Thortell and
'John 'chimell, fcr conspiring to defraud Mr. Barber
Beaumont, the Managing Director of the County Fire
Office, of 1,91101.65. 9J. and obtaining that sum from
in.pursuance of such conspiraey.
Mr. Bitoontoc, for the prosecutor of the indictment,
prayed that the Court would commit Thurtell to the
New Prison at Clerkenwell, instead of to the custody of
the Sheriff, in order that he might be brought up to the
Court of Sessions for Middlesex, and plead to the indict-
ment without delay ; or that he might be remanded to
the custody of Ruthven.
The Couar, after considering the subject said, that
they could not adopt the course suggested ; because,
neither the keeper of the New Prison nor the officer
would be liable to actions for escape at the suit of the
creditors, in case the prisoner should fly. Their safe
and proper course was to commit him to the Marshal,
with directions that he be remitted to the custody of the'
Sheriff, charged with the indictment as well as the
actions. From his custody he might at any time be
brought up by habeo corpus to the Middlesex Sessiop,.
to plead. The order for such committal was. acc4rd=
ingly made, and the prisoner left the Court in custody.

LITERATURE.
FORGET ME NOT.

Stich is the title
,of a. very beautiful Christmas and
New Year's Present for the Tear, 1824, which has just
appeared. Last year Mr. AozzawaNN made the expe-
riment of publishing a pocket-book that should possess
literary and graphic attractions, and it succeeded. He
has now improved on his original plan—the engrivingt,
twelve in number, are fine specimens of the arts, and
the literary articles are more varied and interesting.
The poets Montgomery, Wiffen, Neele, and Barton,
have each contributed a gem. Papworth has a topo-
graphical article; and Kotzebue has. been ransacked
for a pretty fable. Several interesting tales, and some
articles of a more important character, are interspersed,
and the whole forms one of the most pleasing little vo-
lumes.that we ever met with. We extract the follow-
ing specimen :
Night is the time for rest.
How sweet when labours close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repose—
Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head
Upon our own delightful bed !
Night is the time for dreams—
The gay romance of life,
When truth that is, and truth that seems
Blind in fantastic strife;
Ab! visions les* beguiling far
Than waking dreams by day-light are !
Night is the time for toil—
. To plough the classic field :
Intent to find the buried spoil
Its wealthy furrows yield; •
Till all is our's that sages taught,
That poets sang, or heroes wrought!
Night is the time to weep—
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of memory, where sleep
The joys of other years;
Hopes that were angels in their birth.
But finish'd young, like things of earth!
Night is the time to watch—
On ocean'. dark expanse,
To hail the Pleiades or catch
The full moon's earliest glance, •
That brings into the home-sick mind
All we have loved and left behind!
Night is the time for care,
Brooding on hours misfselst,
To see the spectre of despair
Come to our lonely tent ;
Like Brutus, 'midst his slumb'ring host,
Startled by Caesar's stalwart ghost !
Night is the time to muse—
Then from the eye the soul
Takes flight, and, with expanding views,
Beyond the starry pole,
Describes athwart the abyss of night
The dawn of uncreated light!
Nirtir it the time to pray;
Our SAVIO:Ii oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away;
So will his followers do—
steal from the throng to haunt% untrod •
And hold communion there with Gou!
Night is the time for death,.
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield the weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease :
Think of Heaven's Llhs, and give tho sign
To parting friends—Rich death ho mile !
Sheffield. J. MONTGOMERY.
The Third Livraison of the Napoleon Memoirs.
Napokon's Memoirs have just appeared, containing on-
volume of the History of France, and another of Histoe
rical•Miscellanies. The former includes very interesting
details of the early campaigns of Buisaparte.in Italy,
with a Memoir of his early life. The Historical Miscel-
lanies consist principally of Napoleon's Review of the
campaigns of Turenue and Frederic 11. and we need not
say hose valuable the opinion of so great a master of
the art of war must be on such a subject. To the Mis-
cellanies are added, several documents relating to the
Duc d'Enghein, &c. We shall take an early opportunity
of giving some interesting extracts from these volumes.

An excellent little pamphlet has been published in
Ireland, on the subjeoc of the miraculous cures per-
formed under the manag4ment of Prince HoltEN LORE,
upon the persons of two Irish females, by Mr. CRAMP-
Tow,..Surgeon-General of Ireland. The course of reason-
ing pursued by this Gentleman, goes briefly to prove
that moral causes act frequently upon the nervous sys-
tem of, a patient, and through the nerves, upon the
most important organs of his or her body, to au extent
abosslantly capable of acconoting for all the change
that Dias been produced in the health of Mrs. STEWART
and of Miss LA LOR.

An. American Paper states it to be the intention of
the Manager of the Boston Theatre to exhibit, in the
course of the ensuing winter, a pageant in commemo-
ration of SHAKSPEARE; and that he has offered as a re-
ward a geld medal, of the value of fifty dollars, to any
pawn who shall produce the best ode or poem, to be
recital on the occasion—the prize medal to be awarded
by. i Committee of ten Gentlemen.
Aittis VAGRANT.—We noticed one day during this
week' that one of the Justices of the POlice-Court, sen-
tenepJ to imprisonment in the Hduie of Correction, as
a cornion vagrant and ditinkard, an old man nettled
Dalai 111.Donad, aged 101 Years. He is yet remark-
ably sturdy for his age, and does not seem to be above
80 years old. The account he gives of himself is quite
clear and connected, and not wholly uninteresting. He
bas a minute
. memory of times long since gone by, and
of die warlike scenes wherein he was an humble actor.
Ile was born in Inverness, in Scotland, in the year 1722,
and was in the army compianded by thee Duke. of
Catiiherlaail in Flanders. His regiment, ender Colonel
Ditnclis,- was in the battle of Fontenoy in 1744. After-
wards,he came to America with General Braddock, and
giiex an interesting account of the action, when that
etncei was killed, and when Major Washington after-
wircts the saviour of his country, saved the remnant of
hii forces from total destruction. Subsequently he ar-
rived at Philadelphia, and was transferred to 'fricon-
deroga, And,his
.regiment had joined the British army
previous tothe capture of Quebec, when the gallant
Wolfe fell. He was in that desperate action, and scaled
the heightsof Abraham. During the American revo- '
lutimary war,. he was in an American privateer, was
captured and retained,for three years as a prisoner of
war by the British. Since then he has been a sailor in

tjaelderchant-service of the United States, and has en-

E tor MR." lf EA Rt.
We stated yeetticliji that Ml. Bfshop-had been dl.
reeted by the Might:44i, who are ptiritting the inert-. i
tigation respecting Mr. Weare's murder, to apprehold
some persons in London. Bishop proceeded to execute,
the orders he had received with his usual activity, and
succeeded in taking into custody Thomai Noyes, the
'brother of Mrs. Proberi; Who vhs at the cottage in
Gill's-hill-tape, on the Solidly after the murder; and
Mr. Tetsall, the landlord of the Coach and Horses, in
Conduit-street. . .
Noyes was taken into custody between twelve and
one o'cloCk yesterday morning. At six o'clOCk yester-
day morning,. _Bishop carried his' prisoners in a post-
chaise to Witforil, Where it was understood they were
to undergo an examination. Noyes was handcuffed;
Tetsall, we believe, was not.—Noyes was extremely
agitated during the journey, and frequently wrung his
hands ; but said little. Tetsall betrayed no emotion.—
At eleven o'clock, Noyes and Tetsall were conveyed from.
the Essex Arms Tavern, where they bad been taking
some refreshment, to the house of Mr. Clutterbuck, the
Magistrate, and their examination immediately com-
menced. As was the case on-Tuesday, no stranger was
permitted to enter the room where the investigation was
carried on ; the nature of the evidence given we are
therefore unable to state.
Noyes was called before the Magistrates several
times; after leaving the room on the last occasion he
was fearfully agitated : the perspiration flowed from
hitt profusely :.he struck his hands violently on his.
[ forehead, and appeared to be nearly choked in endea-
vouring to suppress his feelings. At seven o'clock, the
examination being concluded, Noyes was committed to
St. Alhan'i jail, for further examination, until Saturday.
Tetiall, Mr. Probatt, and his set vane, and the landlord
of the Bald-faced Stag, on the Edgewate-t ()id. it.whiCh
place Probert and Hunt stopped on the night of the
murder, entered into recognizances to give evidence
against the persons accused of Mr. Weare's murder at
the next Hertfordshire Assizes. lt.is but justice to Mr.
Tetsall to state, that it is generally said that nothing re-
i suited from the examination which could be supposed
to implicate him in the horrible transaction in which it
appears that his lodgers were so deeply'concerned.+
Some respectable persons were prepared
•.bicome his
bail, if required, to the amount of 4?2,000. -
In addition to Noyes and Tetsall, other persons-was
examined by the Magistrates; among these war! Mr:
Probatt, the landlord of.tee Golden Cross, Shari*
cross, and his servant, Stephen March. It will be recol-
lected that Hunt, when he was examined before the 'Co-
loner, stated that he hired the gig in which John Mar-
tell and Mr. Weare proceeded to on the
night of the murder, at the dolden Cro4t.which, is kept'
by Mr. Probatt, whose name on a former °tension was
incorrectly spelt like that Of the prisoner Probert.—
Hunt's statement about hiring the gig is **eat. Mr.
Probatt was not at home Whial gunk came to the ystd,;
but one of his men, Who knil trunt had been4n the
habit of hiring horses there, said it was «all rigln,"•and
Hunt was allowed to take the gig. Oa Saturday even-
ing, when Hunt brought back the gig to the Golden
Cross yard, his manner was extrerriely wild. He asked
for a glass of brandy and waterat the bar, and proceeded
to talk on a variety of subjects without observing any
kind of order. Whilst he was standing at the bar, he pro-
duced a pistol, and said? tiiis is the—fellow to a* business."
—Mrs. Probatt was much alarmed, and told him for
44 Goo's sake to put the pistol in his pocket," *Nell
,Hunt did, after brandishink it About for some time. 04
-the next morning (Sunday) Hunt hied another harie
and gig, within which he and Thartell drove to
hill-lane to dinner. He brought home the horse and
rig on Monday morning, had a fresh horse put to the
ig, and drove away again, saying that he would re:
turn on Tuesday evening: he, however, came back in
the gig abotft two o'clock, and then said that he should
want a horse and gig next day, to take his wife to D'art-
ford. March, Mr. Probate's servant, observed that the
horse was very much distressed, and onlooking at the
chaiie, he saw some blocid at the bottom. He supposed
that some accident had happened in the chaise, and
took no notice of the circumstance. The blood, how-
ever, must have proceeded from the body of Mr. Weare,
when it was removed from the pond in Piobert's gar
den, to the pond at Elstree.
Hunt continues to manifest the same indifferehce
which he has hitherto strewn under the dreadftil cir-
cumstances in which be is placed. A day or two ago-
he observed, that if be should get off, this affair (the
murder) might hart him in his singing busine?s,. John
Thurtell occupies himself in smoking the greater part
of the day.
. Wednesday evening, Mrs. Probert informed the jailor
fat St. Albans, that she had something to communicate
to the Magistrates. Mr. ClutierbUtk being informed
of this, immediately Sent for her to his Nouse, Where she
remained Until four o'clock yeder4ay mining, When
she was taken back to jail. We understand that she
imparted some important information to the Magistrates,
and excited no small surprise by producing, from her
bosom, the chain which was attached to the watch of
Mr. Weare.

The shirt which Mr. Vriarn,Eaci On when he was,
murdered, and which was fonplin the stable at Pro-
bert's cottage, was yesterday taken to the house of Mr.
Clutterbuck. , It is ripped up the flout.
The pistol whieh Hunt eybibited at Mr. Probates, of
the Golden Cross, was one taken by him frill:II:Mr. Tet-
sall's, and not one of those purchased by John Thurtell.
Noyes was apprehended 435, Castle-street, where he
and his sister occupied lodgings on the second floor.
There was an appearance of extreme poverty in the
house, and Noyes was entirely destitute of money. Mrs.
Probert was also apprehended in these lodgings.

DREADFUL FIRE.•-•DOVIRR, Nov. 5.—. A most dread-
ful fire broke out this afternoon, in the plumbery of
Mr. JAMES Holmes, situate in St. James's. street, in this
town, occasioned by some lad boiling over, which his
men were melting, and which, communicating with a
barrel of turpentine, the whole was instantly in a blase,
