Hooper was not, 15 many suppose, the bearer of the colours taken at the Royal Exchange.

This remissness Or %inlation of ditty requires innnediee invesrigAtion,'and we are happy to hear that' an is'abont to tulle Every hour almost brings to light fresh rioters who have heen taken in different quarters.

Six others p , seized with arms found on them, taveheen taken to Lantbeth.office most of them appear to be sailors, and all are by some proof or other connected with the rioters in the Minories. Mr. 114 e, the gunsmith, recognises the pistol and brlt worn by one, and another has his hand cut with glass, which seems to iden►ify him with the sailor who broke through Mr. Potti's window.

The last meeting they, had, previous to ths; day in Sps fields, was held at the Carlisle. All the parties were at the meeting on Monday, and the younger Airatson, who harangued the twoesubly from a wag gon,, afterwards headed the party which advanced towards the City. Hooper states, that having, Leached Clicspade, he suddenly .lost sight of young Watson, but denies that he had himself carried the colours. Preston, upon being arrested, expressed the ut most astonishment, broke out into several voci ferations, and frequently demanded of Drink water, the officer, to produce the warrant upon which he was secured. Since his arrest he has spoken freely of his connexion with the. Spa fields Committee., ne states, that pt one of their late meetings te heard propositions which Jte dis- liked, and viewing them as mischievous, he -se eedvd Irons them as an officer, but remained still tree to the general system, which was in itself excellent. He had beers engaged in the plan for eight years, and had during .that time written to the late Mr. Perceval, on the subject. The psi souer, at intervals, expressed strongly his anger at being Confined—said he bad " never before been in captivity,'' and IlFelareti that since he was de- privedof his liberty, every thing which had been intended should be proceeded an would be effected, but plunder. should be avoided," spoke in warns and,angry terms ot the manner in r►hich things hod been conducted on Monday-- said be saw and he►►rd young I%'alson at Spa.fields, anti added, I could have struck the young and dru4ken Jog for his #►remature lolly."

Fogg, the Marshalinan, saidvihat he saw the p r i so ner with a lowliog-pieCe in his hand at the very moment Sir JtsitteY Shaw scented the man who held the flag. The witness struck the pri soner on the arm, and the fowlhig-piece fell to the ground i there Wits 110 bayonet on the gun ; the distance between him who held it and the peesou who was waving the colours was. about 30 feet. The scene of this action was the Royal Exchanges , c as h ina n, w ho said he was,anxions to speak in justification of himself, declared that the gun had been given to him at the corner of St. Paul's, while he was talking to the street-sweeper. There were, he said, two other men present and a wo man, all of whom saw the transaction. The per son who put the arms into his possession was not known to him, and he should find it difficult to recognise hint amongst the great variety of per• sons who were Tarnished with weapons of the same description. The fowling-piece, which had the , name of U Twig" upon it, was produced. The Marshal man deposed, that it was primed and loaded with powder and small-shot at the time the prisoner was apprehended. Cashman, in further explanation, said, , he was not in Spa-fields, or in any other fields, on the day of the disturbance ; and denied that he )tnew the direction in which. Skinner-street was. In answer to a ( * notion from the Lord Mayor, he said be had nut worn a cockade in his hat on Monday. Parker, the street-keeper, rvho was questioned the other day' ,upon this subject, said, he could not recollect having been spoken to by ,C;irshman on the (lay of the riots, and denied positively bays ing seen Buy man put rt g u into the hunds of another.

As he tittered the last %voids, Cashman called o u t to the crowds, follow me," and ran into the sip ip,, followed by a multitud,e. Cashman took, the witness by the collar the latter struggled to get loose, awl a t last succeeded iii disengaging himself, !you which he seized a blituderhoss, with which he meant to defend himself. Cashman, upon seeing him so provided, orew out a pistol, and 1,44, ' 4 .Two can play at that game." At 014 period of the (Us turbanCe Mr. Platt was lying in lied up stairs. The witness went to him, awl re rained with hint far some tiote. - He added, that Mr, Ileckwith's boy anti several other persotti were present at the transaction," and he bad no doubt but the prisoner would be identified by many. Cashman having'heen asked by the Lord Mayor what he had to say, answered by a general denial, of the leading circumstances. lie admitted that he had joined the mob, but not until they bad passed the end of St. Paul's Church-yard and declared that his conduct, while he was in the crowd, was inoffensive in every respect. The cause, he said, of his being in the streets on Mon day was humanity, which compelled him to be the bearer of a letter front a mesiduate in the hos pital to Admiral Martin, to whose house, in the Admiralty, lie had called, from which be was di 'wed to the Admiral's office in Somerset-house. He said he delivered the letter to a Gentleman, who wore spectacles, but could not tell at what hour he had dune so. _ _ Cartwright, the Marshaltuan, said, that cash men told him as his reason for; goiiik out that day, that be had applied both to the Lord Mayor and the Admiralty for relief in vain, and was de termined to kill or be killed.—ltemantled.

SsioNT, Nov. 20.—1 n consequence of ,an. or der given by his Majesty ..the 24th of September, at Toepliiz, the University of Ei tt,rt, wbicb has subsisted ever since 1392, will be suppressed.— Thc reasons for tbis decision are, on the one hand, the insufficiency of tlit fun:ls which were assigned to it, end, ott the O . tier, the consers;on of the town into a fortress. The Professors re tain.the whole nt their salaries, and the funds of the University are intended to awselimate the public schools at Erfurt. STUTTGAKI), Nov. B.—His Majesty the King hai received a respectful Address from tl►e States, in which they express their wiihes and their hopes that his Nlait.sty trill gtaut them trht►t the King, iais farther, constantly refused. There is, however, every reason to suppose that the King will not essentially deviate from the course pursued by his father. If the only thing in vestion was the establish ment of a Constitution for the ancient Duchy cat Wurtetnberg, the object would easily be attained it would be sufficient to restore the ancient Con stitution with some ameliorations. But the ac quisitions matte since 1601, have angmented.ttke present kingdom of - Wtatemberg by the ,ice extent of territory and in population. tVithAlt i on new acquisition', which 114c1 various Coustitutinns, and ensue of them none at nit, the kingdom has. also acquired a very numerous nobility, whereas it bad not any before 1801. Before this epoch the Dochy.of Wurternburg had a Representative Constitution without a no bility. This Nobility, among Which are nimve twenty PrincO and Counts, who were formerly Members of the German Empire, who have or quired great influence in the Assembly of the States, is one of the obstacles to the introtloction of a uniform Constitution for the whole 'tine= of Wurtetnberg.
