He was accidentally in the shop, bolting at a gun, when the fellow who shot him ame into the shop and demanded fire-arms. On this i bring request being made, Mr. PLATT, with others i the shop, desired hint to walk out, and Mr. PLATT tit his hand on his shoulder and pointed to the weer. the villain instantly produced a pistol from under cis coat, and discharged it. The assassin alone was in the shop when the pinto ras fired, and he was conveyed up stairs and searched. /I him were found three oae-pound notes, a pocket auk, and some memorandums, which will no doubt iriag the ruffian to justice. He was rescued from a ly Constable by the mob. We have not been able to discover that any riotous let fns committed near MC King's Bench Prison, but Thee caution of Government, in placing a strong guard hereon Monday, is deserving of general approba km. Many of the rioters roared out the name of Lord Cochrane in a must significant manner, as if heyininifested an intention; bad it been practicable. °give their assistance in releasing' is Lordship with t payment 41 the fine.

A Chimney-sweeper joirted the Rooters in- the Minnries. 'and was Offered the choice of various weapons, bet nothing took his fancy lite a full-Brest swots! Thisreety . hero was more amusing than - ate warming to the inhabitants, for he displayed some of the Antics usually practiced by 'this tribe on the Ist day of May. It has been erroneously stated, that there had bee& near four hundred persons shut up in the Exchange, the LORD MAYOR keeping the few Only who appeared to be-the ringleaders, or who manifested most via lance. Eventually three only were detained, viz. lanes Carter, John Cashesere, and /ohm Never. The latter, who was seized by Sir JAMES SHAW, appeared to be the leader of the mob; he carried the Bag de scribed in our Paper of yesterday, and wore a tri. coloured cockade in his hat. He was extremely vin. lent when secured, spoke high of his own authority, and threatened the LORD MAYtilt, Lipnn searching him, there were found in his possession a number of papers. chiefly relating to the Spa-fields Meeting, the expense of meting a hustings, &c. Some of these were signed by Preston, whose name has already appeared to the advertisements of the Meeting. A case of pistols was also found in his pocket loaded, which, upon examination, did not appear to have been very recently discharged. Being asked by the Officer who had him in custody-at Lloyd's, what was the motive of himself and his companions ? he replied, that they 1 8 same into the City in order to obtain the assistance of the Lord Mayor, to interfere, if pmssible, with the Prince Regent, with respect to their Petition." The Loao MAYOR yesterday held two several era. minations upon this subject, when he put a number of ititerrogitories to the three prisoners. John Hooper said he was the Treasurer to the Spa-fields Meeting. but had very little mosey to held. He knew the two Mr. Watson', who had addresser! the Meeting on Monday, and was there himself, from whence he set off, with several others, towards the City." While at the lietvettag some individual put a case of pistols into his hand, but he was unityle to say whom. These he put into his pocket, but did not mean to use them. He also acknowledged having carried the colours, and worn the cockade, and stated the reason he bad had for corning into the City. John Cashmere said he was a discharged seaman, and had come up from Deptford to town on Monday 1 morning. He was standing close by es a large church and castle" (meaning St: Paul's),` when he was ac. costed by another sailor, a stranger, who asked him it he wished to take a walk for it short time? He replied yes, and the stranger instantly put into his hands a musket, and they proceeded together, arid joined a number of others, who were marching. He had no conception of what it meant. The last wit ness, when taken at the Exchange, had a musket in his possession James Carter, who had also the appearance of a seaman, said he was a shoemaker. He met a num ber of person: marching through ,the citron Mon. day, and joined them. He admitted that he carried the tri-colfiured flag part of the way from Spa-fields, but says he is ignorant of any Meeting, or of any preconcer led plan. The prisoners confessed being with the mob when he outrage took place at Snow-hill, but denied having the slightest share in that shocking transac tion. They also expressed their readiness to Jell all they knew. The prisoner Hooper joining in the above declara tion, and being evidently acquainted with some of the proceedings at the Spa-fields Meeting, the Lotto MAYOR deemed it to hold a private examina. 1 .tion. Little, however, was gone into at this inves tigation, but Hqoper confessed that he had been in cited,to join and lead the mob, in 'consequence of the inflammatory language he had heard from Watson 'at the early part•of the Meeting on Monday. The prison. rs were all remanded for exathination on a luture day. • -throughout the whole of yesterday, all was peace . and • rder in the City. A few troops remaioed, in the neighbourhood, in cam of necessity, or for 'the purpose of conveying dispatches between the offices of the other Magistratesi or that of the Secretary of St4it i with whom the LOAD MAYOR had frequent communication& The following particulars transpired yesterday at the Public Offices : BOW-STRUT. - - Patrkh Saillivas o a boy about t*elire years of age, underwent an examination before Mr. Baum, charged with, being concerned frith I blob in riotously as sembling round a baker's shop in Great Earl-street, Seven }Nils, breaking ores sad entering the shop, 'and stealing the knead therein. Wilson, a patrols, stated, that on Monday Orating. between six and seven o'clock, be got, into Great Earl-street, just as the Mob *as dispersing, sad prehended the prisoner upon the counter, with a qua- tern loaf under each arm and was going out of the broken window.

This was denied •by the foreman of 'the shop, whit Asia his master was from home when the mob attacked the shop, and ao per son war in it; when the rioters entered br force, hitt Nana. when they asked him fortified ; to which he replied, it did not belongs :to hint, aed" he could' not give it away : they then -helped themselves. - The aothec : 4o the prisoner attended, and went down on her knees, entreating the Magistrate to send him to the Marine Society, or some other receptacle . for boys s sheaaid.he had till lately gone t&St. Pa trick's School..in St. Giles's—she had endeavoured to get hiM employed in Covent Garden.• He was committed' for- trial, and the parties bound over to ,prosecute. A revettably . drested man, who appeared to be in a state of intoxication, epplied to Mr. BMWS for a pair of pistols, which he stated hid* been taken from him by. Officers belonging to the Offieer. with which, he stated, be was not going to do any harm, as they were not loaded. It is supposed some Police Oflizera had very properly deprived him of them on M'onday, on his presenting them in 2 dangerous way ; but he could not tell where it took place, only that it was at ,a public-house mar the Pens, and there being no doubt brit be meant Smithfield, and that being in the City of London, he was referred to the Loan MAYOR. WESa m Anal was charged by Clarke. a constable, belonging to the parish of St. Clement's, with excit ing a mob to tumult and riot. Clarke stated, that on Monday evening, between six and seven o'clock, he was out on duty, as directed by the High Constable, in permit of riotous and dis orderly persons, wlen he met with a mob in Holly. well -street, near the Strand ; the prisoner and another man appeared the foremost among them. He heard the prisoner. exclaim—" Bread or-blood I" He re proved him f,r making use of such an expression ; asked him it be was not ashamed of himself, partial. larly at that time this had no effect upon the pri soner, as he reputed it again several times, and ad. addressing himself to the mob, said—" You sons of b—, follow me!" which induced him. with the assistance of another Constable, to secure him, and they lodged him in the watch-house. Clarke 's statement was confirmed by the other Constable. The 'Prisoner, in his defence, solicited forgiveness. He is about SO years of age, a single mm, strong, and apparently hearty. He said he had worked in the Docks, but was new in the employ of a Mrs. Shillito. He denied having been at the execution in the morning, in the Old Bailey, or that he had been to Spa-fields. He was committed for trial, and the Constables bound over to prosecute. FOOTPADS. Monday night, about eleven o'clock, as Miles, the horse pactole, was on duty at Highgate, he pasted three men who appeared.to avoid b,•ieg seen by him, and recollecting to haveheard of three footpath com mitting robberies in Essex lately, he looked after them. They appeared as if they were proeveding inlw she lase leading to the Eitel of Mansfield's house, but. they 'returned towards the town of Highgate. The patrole then communicated his suspicions to a watchman, and took him with him to stop them. They came up with them mar the Red Lion public: house, when the patrole having no doubt but that he saw a pistol concealed in the breast of one of them, under a large loose rough Goat. he plunged his hand in, and found his conjectaire right. Immediately alter the other two presented a pistol.eaclF; one of them went off, but providentially missed the patrole and watchman; the other pistol missed fire. The watchman was so much alarmed, that he ran off and sprang his rattle. - 'riie two who had presented their pistolst ok the opportunity and ran away. An alarm was created by the discharge of the pistols, and a number of persons came out of the Red Lion public house, and from ocher places. The patrole gave the man he had seised with the pistol, and on whom also he found a dagger in a stick, into the care of some men, while he and others went in pursuit of the two men who bad ran away, bet they could not find them. The patrol. brought the man to the Office yesterday, when he proved to be Watson, the person who advocated the cause of the people at the first meeting in Spafields, and who his been many years a respectable surg eon and apo thecary, residing in Newcastle.street, in the Strand, and he was in consequence hand cuffed and broitght to the "Grapes public house, in 80 - .v.street. The cit.. cumstance having been communicated to Mr. Puma; the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Sisflorkthe Chief Clerk., waited upon Lord St/saloons; the `Se cretary of State. for his Lordship's directions, under allrthe cirenm seanceilof thirextraordinary,case....-- -* •• : - The first message received from !thalSeeretary of State was, that the pstrole was to keep Watson in., safe custody until further orders shed be 'officially . received. The circumstance of Watsohlaiing-in•cos toil, under a charge of felony, was soon,made knowb, and curiosity led several people to the .house do-sere him. Some who had known him, wondered that man who had held so respectable a situation in life ! should be manacled there as a priso nee; and in an swer to their inquiries, he said he was there tinder's charge of being a footpad robber ; but begged them to understand, that sued an ignoble idea never entered his head. He was particularly anxious to knew the tate of bis son, and on being Informed by a person 'present, that he - understood him to be in custody id the City, he observed that hives a noble youth, and deserved a better fate—that there had base too great a degree of precipitaticY in his proceedings—and that had he condtitted the cause well, his stiff:eking couns l aymen would have been relieved Without bloodshed ! :—He then with much calmness spoke orthe distresses brhad been an eye-witness to,.and more particularly .of those that had befallen his own family a and de clared, that one of bls.own children,. a lovely daugh ter.. had die* from want—that is to say, she died hem the wanrof wide; and tech other nourishment: es it was not in his power, from the distressful state in whirl he was, to give her. 4,11 this, he contended, arose from the Oligarchy.

At eleven o'clock they were alarmed by the .cry of" Stop thief I" and they in .consequence ran into the street, and saw A hone pa trole sitting °obis horse, .with a man staniing by the side of his horse. Goulding said to the patrole; D—n it, why don't you go after the rest of the robbers ?" The p atrole sad he could not, ai he had one of them in custody. Goulding rejoined, "rt you go alter the ethers we will wore the one yo* have." the patrole then inquired of the landlady if she knew 13opliing and Rhodes, to which she an. swered in the affirmative. .He then gave the man, who proved to be Watson, into their custody, they then laid : hold of him, while the patrole went in pursuit of the others. Watson inuantly drew a dirk from his stick, and said--" If you don't let me go I will run you through," And he struck at Goulding with the dirk which perforated his great chat, her: only scratched his skin ; he then attacked Rhodes and - stabbed him in the thigh,. but not to any clatf getout; extent. A struggle ensued, • a rid they alt tell into the kcanel together. The patrole at this junc ture returned, having ineffectually pursued the othqr two, and Mr. Watson was secured, and a pistol and a great many papers aretai ken from him. Re wo-b a cough great coat, and his boots, Sec. 'were very dirty. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

'which they -did without doing* the least damage to the eating house.
