GILL'S-HILL COTTACH•  Yesterday, pursuant to public notice, the " sale of effects" at' Probert's cottage took place. Unimportant as this matter was with respect to the value of the property to be sold, it nevertheless attracted a considerable share of public attention, owing to the deep interest which is felt in every thing connected with the horrible transaction which has agitated the whole kingdom for the last fortnight. The sale did nut ta:.‘e place on the premises, but in an extensive barn belonging to Mr. Walker, on the opposite side of the lane. About 250 persons were assembled here, most of whom were inhabitants of the neighbourhood, though not a few had come from London to be present on the occasion. At one o'clock, Mr. Gutteridge, an auctioneer of St. Alban's, addressed the company, and informed them that all the property would be sold without any reserve, and that the conditions of the sale were, that all the lots should be paid for and taken away during the course of the day. There were 90 lots, consisting of different articles of furniture, Pro!. bert's horse and gig, 4r,c. Before the sale commenced, a messenger brought a notice to the auctioneer, of which the following is a copy : _ .  _ " I hereby give you notice, that the brown horse you have seized, as the property of William Probert, belongs to the as. signees of the estate and effects of Thomas Thurtell, a bankrupt; and.that if you proceed to the sale thereof, the said assignees will hold you liable for the value thereof, and for all damage sustained thereby :—and I hereby forbid the sale of the said horse, and demand the same from your custody and possession. _ _  " J. S. HEWETT, Solicitor to Win. George Cole, " and Edward Banyard. " To the Sheriff of the county of Hertford, his officer, or whomsoever it may concern.' " Dated this 14th day of November." There were 90 lots in all, which sold generally at low prices. A 4-feet 6-inch tent bedstead and furniture, in which Miss Noyes was accustomed to sleep, sold for 21.125. 6d. ; a similar bed, in which Probert slept, was knocked down for 2/. 10s. ; a chest of drawers for 31. 18s. ; and a mahogany 100 table for 4/. 16s. John Thurtell's double barrelled gun, by Moore was purchased for 171., by Mr. Schneider, of Potter's Bar, Ilerts: it was an excellent piece. The couch on which Hunt reposed on the night of the murder sold for 31. 10s. The horse was sold for 1771 guineas ; the gig which was very n eat, painted green land lined with blue, for 191. ; the harp ess for 41. These three lots were purchased by Mr. Brett, of St. Alban's. When the horse was offered for sale, the messenger who had brought the notice above given, told the auctioner that he would proceed to sell it at his peril, A polled cow sold for 61. 17s. 6d., and a sporting dog was knocked down at the low price of 3s. These were the most important lots which were disposed of. The whole produce of the sale was 1381. 14s. The cottage now remains entirely destitute of furniture. It will be pulled down as soon as it ceases to be an object of curiosity, and no more money can be gained by showing it. Northing new transpired at Watford yesterday respecting Weare's murder.  St. ALmaies.—Mrs. Probert and Miss Noyes are both of them so much indisposed as to keep their beds, and require the attendance of a medical gentleman ; they are little disposed to eat, but have every indulgence and attention consistent with the peculiar situation in which they are placed. They are in separate rooms, and both greatly depressed. Mr. Noyes is not ironed : he has a person constantly with him day and night. Miss and Mrs. Noyes are remanded for reexamination ; not so with Mrs. Probert, who, however, remains here for the present, as is presumed; for the prevention of improper communication with others.
