first emptied them ; but Thisikwood was resolved to set fire to the stone walls of the Bank, and to establish his throne, like the Fire.. King. in th e midst of flames. The abandooed ruffisns who formed the conspiracy seem to have been as stupid as they were wicked : had their abilities been equ3l to their thirst after blood, they might have been formidable enemies to the public peace. It is a further cause for congratulation that this conspiracy, confined as it was in the metropolis to a very few persons, had no partisans whatever in any other pert of the kingdom. It cannot but be re membered that a few days after the discovery of the assassination !dot, it was stated in the Treasury prints that an unusual anxiety to learn the news (tom London was observed in the town of Leeds on the morning on which theaccoutit of the assassination, if such a dreadful event had unhappily occurred, might have arrived from London in that town. It was thence inferred that the plot was generally known in the manufacturing districts of the North, ■nd that the blow which was to be struck in Lon don was to have been the signal of a general insur rection. The evidence given on the trials at the Old Bailey falsifies this fanciful supposition, ■nd proves that the statement contained in the Treasury prints was altogether sal:rounded. No less absurd was the imagination that some mysterious COIN!CC tiou subsisted between the conspirators in London, and the faction in France, that instigated Lott ed to the murder of the Duke de BERRY.— The coiucidence of time with respect to the Duke's murder and the discovery of the plot in Cato -street, was merely accidental. Upon this point, however, it may not be uninteresting to remark, that while France the proceedings preparatory to the trial of a man who in the presence of a crowd of persons actually murdered one of the first Princes of the ro, al blood, the great hope of the family of BOWL* BUN, and who even confessed the crime, are still incomplete, eleven persons have in England been formally, legally, sod to the full satisfaction of the country tiled and convicted, and sentence of death executed upon five of them, for devising the mur• der of the Ministers of the Crown, although flue discovery of their guilt was some days subsequent to the arrest of Louvel. We nre happy in being able to state that the ili.iiirlwtl districts are represented as being in a triniquil state; and although there have beta out. rage• committed which no true lover of his country would attempt to justify. still nothing has trans. pi , ril to prove that the old laws. if properly admi tii•tvrrd, are wanting in ally respect to perpetuate that tranquillity.—( Darken's Chronicle.)

The inquiry into the appropriation of the Droits of the Admiralty, the 41 per Cent. Fund, &c. dur. ing the long reign of his late MAJESTY, is likely to produce important results. The amount of these Nods is immense, and it is essential to the country that lice produce should be accounted for, as well as that Pa•liament should come to • clear understand ing is to its future application to the public service. Ilepert rays that these funds. in the course of the reign, amount to millions. What has become of these millions? It is known that his 111•JesTY ap plied, from time to time. to Parliament to make up the di ticitucies of the Civil List; and the payment uf the debts upon it made no small addition to the hstroletis of the people.

Mr. WlLala has paiated a picture from that passage in the novel of Wareefeu, in which Protocol is described as readiag aloud the Setilement " in a slow totsiness-like tour." The Artist has, with his usual skill, delineated the indi vidual characters which compose the group., and represented the alternate fading and •wiikeiiiiig of their hopes, and the " straining of their apprehensi 0000 s," to get at the drift of the Testator's meaning through the " mist of lechaical lan guage," with the same furre and truth of which he never loses sight in the portraiture of his grouping. The principal landscapes are this year admirable. Mr. TURN ERNI Vine of Rome from Me Vatican—Raphael ac companied Forsearina, prepares', Ale pictures for Me decoration of Me Loggia, is au exquisite composition.

The 13th anniversary dinner of this excellent Institution took place yesterday at the City of London Tavern, Bishopegate.street. His Royal Highisees the Duke of York we. ex pected to preside as Chairman, but was prevented es we were afterwards informed, by indispo.ition. The Hun. H. GREY (Willem M.P., attended by the Stewards. entered the room at half-past six o'clock. and rook the chair, supported on the right by Edward Protheroe, Esq. and on the kft by the Hon. Edward Harbord, M I'. After dinner Non 11o6is Aniline was sung by M . Clark, Taylor, Nield.

Ile would, however, to the utmost of his ability. supply their place. The toast he was go. iug to 'propose he was certain would meet with the approbation of the company : it was Gi The health of his Royal Highness Me Duke of York. and prosperity to the Instihttiens of the Refuge for the D•stitaste." Ile was convinced Or first part of it would be drank with w a rm gratilade, for from the commencement oldie liaistotion that Royal Doke was nice of its eupporters.-aisd had on all occasions descended. if he might be allowed to cull it so. to enter into every charitable Institution; as to the second, the Institution itsklf, from his knowledge of it, there was none that cone so much good. It war unnecessary for him to say more on that subject, as every person, on reading over the Re port of 1819, must be of his opinion. Asa mem ber of the Committee of the Institution, be had been obliged to witness numbers of poor and destitute objects driven from their door for want of pecuniary means. There was nothing more painful to the feeling mind than to be obliged to do so, but they had not room or means to relieve the numerous candidates for their bounty. No per son but those whose duty it was to visit the prisons could have an idea of the number of candidates for their bounty. Out of this Imititution another had arisen, called the Temporary Institution. fur the teller of the destitute. and they had admitted 950 into it in the last year; so much was the dia. tress proceeding from crimes in the metropolis. He had only one word more to say, which was to :he Institution itsetf. He would say to them, go and visit it, as he had done. and they would return more than satisfied with its excellence. He had had the opportunity of sending massy objects there, and it was with pleasure that he afterwards saw the greatest improvement in them; to see the women, rescued from infamy and crime, happy and content ed ; the children, who had been initiated in vice, rising out of it with the bloom of innocence on their cheeks, was a scene the most grateful to a feeling man; it raised him above himself, and raised his imagination to that throne of heavenly grace from whence all that is good and estimable springs. He hoped they would forgive him for detaining them so long ; he thanked them for har ing so patiently listened to him. and concluded by giving— ' The health of his Royal ilighwess the Duke of York, sad prosperity to the Refuge for the Destitute," which was drunk wish three limes three. EDWARD FOSTER, Esq. Treasurer to the Insti tution then read the letter he had received from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, stating, that he was prevented from presiding at the dinner on account of a severe cold—and desiring that his name should be put down for his usual annual donation. He then read a letter from the Earl of Liverpool. stating that nothing hut public busi ness would have prevented his being present, and desiring that application should be made to his banker., Messrs. Howes, for his donation of 501. Ile then stated, it was with regret he had to in form them of the death of a most excellent friend of the Institution, Mr. Alexander Baring, who had been a subscriber of 100/. per annum during his life, and at his death lie had not forgot it; for by his will he had left • bequest of 6301. in the 3 per Cent. Consols for its use. There had been a great cumber of other bequests during the year, but he would not detain them by calling them over ; but there was one he could not pass over, as it sprung from themselves :—A man, thirty-eight years of age, • gentleman's servant, having lived seven years in one moat respectable service, which he lost on account of repeated acts of intoxication, fell into great distress, and was re ceived, upon his discharge from prison, in the year 1815, where lie had been confined for theft, into the Refuge. He conducted himself well in the Institution for three years, during a great part of which time lie filled a responsible situation therein, and was perfectly reclaimed from his prevailing vice. In the year 1818 he went o•t;as cook in an LAN man, but did not survive the voyage. In his will lie most gratefully bequeathed the whole of his pro perly, amounting to about ISC to the Refuge. The worthy Treasurer then read over several do. nations, amongst which were his Royal Highness the Duke of York, 50 guineas; the Earl of Li verpool, 501.; Lord Sidmouth, 301. and several others, to the amount of SOW.

IMPORTANT RANK PROSECUTION. Wilhum !leery Stanford. • Remedy dressed young man, not quite twenty years of age, was capitally indicted fur uttering a 101. note, purport ing to he of the Bank of England. knowing the same to be forged. Cases of uttering forged 101. notes were proved against him by Dr. Jewson, or Percy-street, Rath bone-place; Mrs. Rhodes, proprietor of • brothel in Craven-buildings; the landlord of the Blenheim Hotel; Mr. Jarman, jeweller, in the Strand; the landlord of an inn at Cheam, in Surrey. and several others. The case which was the subject of the in. dictment was that of Dr. Jewson. to whom he ut tered a la note in a very ingenious manlier, and in all the other cares he evinced a degree of cun ning not often surpassed. The Prisoner crass-examined the witnesses with great acuteness. but was unable to elicit any thing favourable to himself. When called upon for his defence, he surprised the Court by reading from a paper a complete ac knowledgment of hi• crimes, and complai ll il tg that his offer to plead guilty to the minor offence had not been accepted by the Bank, although they had extended that mercy to others who were at least equally guilty with himself. He concluded au address, delivered with more thin common ability, by throwing himself oat the mercy of the Court and Jury. The Jury found him Grilty—Death ; hut re commended him to mercy on the score of extreme youth. The CoMMON-SICIJIANT said, the recommen dation should he attended to, but advised the Prisoner seriously to prepare for the worst, as his offence was one of more than ordinary maguttude.

Last morning the dreadful sentence of the low was executed upon Thisileseood, lag, 7 idd, Dep. rime, and Brunt, at the usual place of execut;oss in front of the Old Bailey. The scaffold was erect ed in front of the Debtors' door, but made of larger dimensions, to admit space for the coffins of the wretched sufferers, and room for the blocks oos which, in pursuance of the awful serener for high treason, the heads of the unhappy sitifei ere were &collated, after they had remained suspended hellion hour. At four o'clock in the morning a number of persons began to assemble ut !he neigh borhood of Newgre, and occupy such place, as they had previously provided in the woo , dons rod no the tops of the houses in the Old Bailey whiclo commanded any view, however tolerable. of she fatal preparations for the execution. A guinea was., given, without hesitation, for soy place from *inch a near view of the scaffold could be had., Every window was filled, and the roofs of the bosses covered. The exorbitant prices demand ed for seats were every where given, and many houdrgda additional would have been occupied upon still higher terms, were they attainable for the applicants who thronged the neighborhood be tween the hours of four and six in the rooming. . . At five o'clock immense crowds had as.embled;t the end of Newgate-street and across the space in front of St. Sepulchre's Church, Fleet-lane, the Ludgate-hill side of the Old Bailey, and every avenue which led towards Newgate, presented con. pact masses of people. A square area of considera ble size was railed in before Newgate and enclosed the site on which the scaffold stood. No person but constables was permitted to enter within this rail ing, the interior of which was nearly filled by peace officers, and the square flanked by a large division of life guards. Troops of the same corps were stationed at each end of the Old _Bailey during the execution ; they were also distributed in dale. rent parts of the City, by orders from Lord Sid mouth, and provided with stabling and every other necessary accommodation. A company of dying era tillery were stationed in the middle of Blackfriars road. While these imposing preparations were making without the walls of Newgate, the necessary forebodings were observed within for the wretched sufferers. We understand they oil spent • good night, and that Thistlewood slept from twelve o'clock until past four io the morning. They were severally visited in the course af Sunday evening by the respectable Chaplain of Nonce, who seri ously admonished them to make the usual Chris tian preparation* for the awful change which they were so soon about to undergo; but all, except Davison, the man of colour, disregarded the sa lutary advice of the Chaplain ; the refusal was, however, conveyed in • respectful manner, and unaccompanied by any of that wail, boastit l e which would have enhauced the folly of such indifference. Davison throughout the whole 4.f Sunday was absorbed in devotional exercises, and he repeated to the Chaplain the roost:riotous he received from such a source, and the strong hopes Ciey inspired him of mercy from his Re. (termer. lie also prayed devoutly for his Majesty and the good of the people, forgave his enemies, but still adhered to a strong bias against the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, signiori whose, however. be disclaimed say personal ill-wills The other Prisoners, though they unfortunately deprived themselves of the religious consolation in which Davison, so happily for himself, indulged. were nevertheless calm and resigned. At a tittle after six o'clock lest "owning they were separately visited by the Chaplain in the cells adj sg the press-yard. Devisees received the sacrament with the most fervent expression of humility end dem lion ; he clasped his hands together. suit implored pardon of the Almighty for his transgressions; but unfortunately his example was still rejected by the other Prisoners. who avowed themselves Deists, and declined the proffered assistance of soy Minister of religion, still expressing their hopes in a belts state, and declaring their readiness to die in peace with all mankind. Thistlewood wits offered a• glass of wine, which he politely declined, but took a glass of water and a biscuit. 'r he other Prisoners also took some alight erfrer•liment. At ftd minutes past seven o'clock the Sheriff. or dered the Prisoners to be brought one by one from their respective cells into the presslard„ to have their irons struck off on a block pre pared for the purpose. At this time is nomber of military officers were in the yard, told sever ) net. sonagea of rank. We observed Lori/ Alvaiph-y, Lord Chetwyucl, Lord Montfort, several Members of the Common Council, several Alit. rotes). the Under. Sheriffs, Mr. Brown, the Keeler of New. gate, and some of his assistants. At o'clock precisely Thistlewood toss I.r..iight front his cell into tlieTard, by three of Mr. Brown'. men; he looked thin and pole as on his trial, ors dressed in the same clothes with his coat buttoned chine up. He seemed, klheiever, perfectly cool aid and looked up towards the sky with so uir of great indifference,; remarking to the pet•oit next hint, that it Demean fine morning; he bowed re•pret. fully to Usti - Gentlemen around him, and A nt his leg Di o r block with a firm rarli to have the irons:srlticb bound his fret tosinvelled. As the smith.was about to strike them on; an ts.i. pleasant altercation arose between Mr. Alderman Wood and Mr. Sheriff Bothwell, the former 41. vancing towards Thistlewood. and i to pot some questions, which the above-named Sheriff re sisted, though his colleague. Mr. Sheriff Psi kilo., not only justified the course about to b • taken by Mr. Alderman Wood. but authutised the wuttliy Alderman to persevere in it.
