" I do plot wish to censure; but, surely. if the people of Liverpool had been properly sensible of what was due to Mr. Roscoe and t• themselves, his library would never have been sold.

He becomes mingled and confounded with other men. Ilia great qualities lose their novelty, anti we become too familiar with the common materiels which form the basis even of the loftiest character. Some of Mr. Roscoe's townsmen may regard him merely as e man of business; others as a politician ; all find hint engaged. like themselves, in ordinary occupations, and surpassed, perhaps, by themselves on some points of worldly wisdom. Even that amiable and unostentatious simplicity of character, which gives the nameless grace to real excellence, may cause him to be undervalued by some coarse minds. who do not know that true worth is always void of glare and pretension. lint the man of letters who speaks of Liverpool, speaks of it as the residence of Roscoe.

It was a few days since stated in a Paris paper, that ■n attack upon the Kisto's person was contem plated by the ruffian gang of assassins, immediately after they had accomplished their dreadful purpose at Lord HARROWBY's house. We remarked at that time, that although we should not be surprised at any crime, however revolting, which such persons might contemplate, we yet did not believe it pro bable that the t:oitspi rators had projected any vio lence against his MAJESTY'S sacred person. Pos. sibly, however, we were mistaken, and that the perpetration of this act dud form a part of their design, awl now constitutes the charge of high treason agdiust them. To the agitation excited by the circumstance of Thisiletroods t, and committal to the Tower, the Ministerial Prints find an excellent opportunity for manufacturing and publishing such rumours as are most calculated to excite apprehensions in the mind of the people. The Treasury scribes at first darkly surmised that Thistletoood's conspiracy ;night be associated with some project of mischief in the country ; they now, however, discard all doubts upon the subject, and affirm boldly (hit the conspiracy was not confined to the metro polis. The proofs of this assertion, we find, are, that on Friday last • number of ill-looking fellows expressed themselves very anxiously at the Post-office in Leeds, to Icarus the intelligence from London ; and on looking back to the Re port of the Committee of Secresy in 1817, it will be found that at the time of the Spafields meeting " the roads (about Manchester) were crowded during The conspirators who were arrested in Cato-street the night with persons waiting fur the arrival of the mail-coach."

Mr. Adkins, the Goreriitor of the prison, im mediately delivered over the following prisoners into the care of the officers, viz. Thistlewooti, Monument, Wilson, Davidson, Tidd, Gilehrirt, lags, I.lrad burn, Shaw, Cooper, and Brunt. They were int mediately conveyed in the coaches provided fur their reception to Whitehall. The Prisoners were all handcuffed to each other. About the time that this detachmeut reached ‘Vhiteliall, Mr. Nodder, the Keeper of Tothill-fields Prison, ar rived at the'same place in a coach, with Preston, Simmonds (the footman), HIS ',ism.

The whole of the Pr isoners on their arrival at Whitehall were placed in the first apartment at the left hand, adjoining to Mr. Day's office. Those from the House of Correction were placed in a line; hand-cuffed together, on the bench immediately facing the entrance, and the Tothill-fields prisoners were seated on a bench at the right hand side of the room.
