THE 111URDEltous CONSPIRACY. Yesterday morning , , Wright, Bond, Champion, Chapman, Lee, Gibbs, &c. belonging to the Bow street Parrol, attended at the (Mice of the Secre tary of State for the flume Department, to give evidence as to the transactio i at Cato -street, Edgeware-ioad, the discovery of the gang of as sassins, their particular conduct, the identity of th e different persons composing the gang, their knowled ge of the person of illobett George; who was apprehended on Sunday night at the Dondee Arms, Wapping, by the Officers Hutliven and St.l - and as to whether he was - seen mmong the gang in (lie loft when the unfortunate Smithers was murdered, or whether he was in ihe stable afterwards. The evidence against Prestons the conler, and Simmonds, the footman, was also in vestigated. The Lords of the Council present were, the Earl of 11 el I to w by, die Earl of Earl Mulgrave, Viscount Siilmoutn, the Mdtgoess Cam den, Sit 11 7 m. Scott, &c. The Attorney and So licitor• General attended, as did also Air. Baker, the Chief Magistrate of t.e Polire, upon whom,, devolved principay the taking of the evidence. The wives of Thistlewood and logs applied at, the Secretary of State's Office for the Home De partment, on Saeurday last, for permission to see their r especi ice husbands. They wete referred to the Privy Council Office, tinder the warrant of which the prisoners were committed. We under- I stand orders were granted to them. The wife of logs (who was formerly a butcher at Portsea) came from that !thee to see hint. lie had ab sconded front that place about four months since, leaving his wile. and tour children. Mrs. logs came to town with an infant at her breast. The eight Conspirator s who were committed to .he Tower on Friday last all remain in the same prisons mentioned by its on Saturday last, wi►h the exception of Davidson, the black, who, it be remembered, wag sent to a prison over the water-works. This place was tomtit, on act:omit of its largeness, to be ex:reniely cold, and out of compassion to the prisoner, he was removed on Stiniky morning to the Bull•tower, immediately behind the golden chair, which is at the exttetr►e east end of the Tower of London, and near the iron gate%vtiv, which has been, as we before men tioned, closed for the present. Out Monday this wan, although every attentio n had been paid to laic contort, became so violent in his conduct, !hat the two warders, who were in the roo m with him, were obliged to call in the assistance of the sentinel. Davidson then assailed the two warders and the sentinel with the most outrageous language, calling on them to hurdler hint at once, and with the most horrible oaths told thtm to take his life. lie continued this outrageo us cond uct fu r some time, but became more cabs) when inbound I list such conduct Would end in the waders applying to have him put in closer confinement, He then became more refie - ctiog, and before night he fell into the deepest itive of despondency, and has remained quiet and ap pdryntly thjecied ever since. Lay th' accurs'd apostates low, Let them fall beneath the blow, Let all . persuasions join and show, They lure their GOD and Liberty, At a Post Assembly of the Corporation of the City of Dublin, held at the City Assembly House in Widintn-street, on the 311 day qf March, 1820, A BBALIA NI BRADLEY KING, Lord Mayor Locum Teti ens, The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to : Resolved, Ist, That this Corporation, firmly united in prin ciples of loyalty and affection to his M.IJESTY'S Person and Government, feel, in common with all his Majesty's loyal Subjects, the utmost abhorrence at the late foul and atro cious Conspiracy against the invaluable lives of his Majesty's Ministers, a conspiracy which has disgraced the manly and generous character of the British Nation, and was calculated to deprive his Majesty of his most faithful and able servants. Resolved, That whilst our indignation is so justly excited against the authors and abettors of the said flagitious Conspi racy, we cannot but feel trulygrateful at this recent instance of the interposition of Divine Pr ovidence, in protecting, the ices of those who, by their able advice, humbled the greatest and most powerful Tyrant that ,ever reigned, and thereby have rendered themselves so deservedly dear to the Nation.

You must know lan an Irishman, but my merits are so well kno,vn here as to have raised rue to the humor of being appointed a Guardian of the Night, near (lie Guildlall in this big City. It might be about twelve o'clock, when I We4S taking my round, my mind rominat ing on the momentous events of the day just gone by, when my ears were suddenly struck with 80 unusual sound of voices as if issuing from some subterranemsabyss ; I at first horrified, and some minutes elapsed before I could summon up resolution to sift to the bottom a Matter that seemed to me to be supernatural. I then sought for an entrance towards the dread spot, an,: at length found a door which offered no resistance to my entrance ; I boldly advanced a few :steps farth er , when I c ame to another door which .1 found lock ed. I was perfectly satiOed will) my present si tuation, as I could distinctly bear every word tit tered, within (where the assembly were), and peeping. through the key-bole, I could plainly see their faces. Having my Jamison) in -my hand, 8 pencil hi my pocket, and God having gifted me with a most retentive memory, I determined to report the proceedings that might follow, believing they would be very entertaining-and novel to your Readers, and the public at large ; I (het elute sat one down, drew out my memorandum book, took notes of what passed, and before I retired to rest. I wrote it ont at length fair as you find it enclosed, in order to send it to you : CITY OF LONDON ELECTION. Fr UST DA Mr. Sheriff PARKINS thon„l►t nothing WAS ne. cessary from him atter what had just talkoi front his Colleague. It was his desire that yone should he fairly heard, and tiot only- his desire, but it was his determina•ion that it should be so, as far as this could h-e accomplished by his autho rity.

The Lofio MAVOR t h en stood forward. In offering himself as a Candidate to be one of the Representatives of the City in Pailiament,•b e was determiued not to trespass long on the time-of the Livery, as there were few persOns of whom he moth! not rather speak than of himself. .As Chief Magistrate of that great City he could not but be known to them. His condt:ct ..vas 'Street. sarily before them, and this he !loped . would speak for him better than any profeesions that he eutdd make. Since - he Yeti been it) oflicc,,,it had been his anxious care to relieve the wants of the dig ites3ed as far as he had the m u Cans, of d o i ng so, , h) gard the rights and liberties, and to sustain the honour atr;l dignity of the City of L-o:Idon. 'l2llese were the princirlcs which he had originally avowed.

He cattle among them not as One untried, bit as one who bad been well known to them all, daring the long periOd of 27 years.—(llere the toomit became so great, t hat nothiog could h e 'heard for several minutes.)

The neighbourhood of Guildhall, the scene of the • elec:tou, presented an extraordinary appeal mice of bustle. The streets were erow&d, the commonalty seemed anxious for the commence tient of the disual.htnn,:u-rs of a contested eleetibn, and Were evidently determined to have a voice on he occasion,* they had not the good fortune to i 1 V e if vote.

He was followed by Alderman Wood and Alderman Thorp, btith of whom were receiv ed with loud acclamations, as were the other. Candidates on their arrival. At one o'clock precisely, the LORD MAYOR I came neo n the hustings, acid open e d the Hall b procl a mati on, w hi ch was made by the Town Crier y . His Lordship then retired fora short time. Front this until a quarter after one the crowd continued to increase, and nearly filled the Hall from one end to the other. Such .was the pressure occa sioned' by this multitude, that the Lord Mayor, (on his return), the other Candidates and their .friends, had the. greatest_ difficulty iii getting to the hustings.
