At ten o'clock this morning. Probert, having been informed thatle was at liberty to depart, left Hertford gaol in which lie slept on the preceding 3igbt.

' Before Probert had proceeded far frons the gaol hemethis wife, Aliss Noyes, and Thomas Noves. Their recogni'tion of eatch other was cold; anid after conversing for a few minutes, Probert let the party, anid proceeded in anl opposite direction, to th'at.whichl they. too . Hife was afterwards seen walking round the tqwn withl a man of respectable app'earance. He himself was wel;d$it6sed, and valked with a swaggering air.

It is not expPcted that any of Thurtell's relativ'e will sisit him preriou 'to. the, execution, owing to the altndtt dist5kctedstarein which they are at, present. At the cncluimon'ofPthe trial on lVednesday,'il r. Justice PAUK observed,lihat-if Thurlell really wished for the-postponement of die' exedution in oider,to allow his friends time to visit hinn,ie ought to rnake an hpplication to the Ciown, in whbom alone was vested the power of aeceding to it.
