The Jury immediately itriyt 41, entered the Box, and their names were tailed over. The several prisoners were then brought up, and James rags, whose trial did conclude yesterday, was again put to the gat, and the other prisoners placed in three rows hehiud hiM. 'the several implements of destruc tion, produced on the former trial, were brought into Court, 64,11(1 every thing being now ready, beniel Bishop, the Bow-street Officer-, was ex stained by Mr. Gu RNEY k his evidence Was of the lame niture as that given before, relatiug to the *rehension of Thistle wood. This wi.ness was l'oss-exanlined by Mr. Abor..px us at some length. Georg e Thomas Rutliven was next examined. D►ttring the examination of this Officer, the pri soners appeared very attentive, and I ngs denied a part of Ruthven's testimony.—John Hector Moe.. rison, a cutler, was next put in the witnesses' box. Taunton, the Police-ofiSeer, was also examined 11 Mr. GUILNIM as was Serjesnt Anson, of the Royal Artillery. At the conclusion of the testi. biong of this witness, call the prisoners, except logsmere taken out of Court; and the ATTORNsy (haulm, stated to their Lordships, that this was the case on the part of the Crown. At a quarter past ten, Mr. evavroors addressed the Jury on be half of the prisoner lugs ; be was proceeding to advert to the trial of Thistlewood, but in this he Was stopped hp the Chief Justice DALLAS. The !.earned Gentleman then went on to investigate the various Acts relative to the preven►ion ot High Treason, particularly that ot the 25. ii of Edward the Third, and also the 36th ot his late Majesty. (Here some little Bela)* took place in consequence of the Jury requesting tome of the Constables that were near them should be iemoved.— They were accordingly ordered into the tare of the proper Officer, who took them cut of Court.)—Mr. CURWOOD then con cluded an able speech by caning Thomas Chambers, who was examined by' Mr. AooL itirtis- This witness underwent a close cross-, exaniination by Mr. Guarrint. The next wit ness was Mary Barker, daughter of the prisoner Tidd, by Mr. CUKWOOD, and cross•examined by the SocsciToa-General. These- being all the witnesses for the Defence, Mr ADot.Puus, at a quarter past twelve, began his address to the Jury. Re said, if they found the unhappy man at the Bar guilty, it would be the last time in this *odd he would have any one to peak in ie favour, except his Lordship, who he watt certain would, in his charge to them, take *very opportunity of giving the unfortunate roan every benefit humanity (consistent with his duty to his God and Country) could sag. test. The Learned Counsel concluded a most able and argumentative speech, and the ATTOR- Ifty.Getacaat. was about to reply when our Paper *as put to Press.—The appearance of the pri 'utters was decent, and their demeanour sbewed resignation to their unfortunate situation. In addition to the details respecting the intended tieing at Huddersfield, are accounts from different Parts of Yorkshire, all of which concur in stating, that attempts at a general rising have not been confined to Huddersfield or its neighbourhood. It appears that the Radicals bad actually fixed on Wednesday sennight for a general and simulta neous rising•in all the Northern Districts. Several Alen are already committed to York Castle for Treason, and arrests continue daily.—(Li "Tot Papa, April 20.)

Sta—ls it not a disgrace to such a City as London to observe the wretched state of many of our Public Roads ; and will you not be surprised when I tell you the road opposite to your own house is so ?

G. N. THE NEW IMPERIAL THRONE. • Among the numerous improvements and orna mental decorations which hare recent:ly been made in the House of Loans, the above stands promi nent and eminently distinguished, and presents one of the most gorgeous and superb pieces of decora tion perhaps ever seen in this country. The canopy under which the actual Throne, or Chair of State, is to be placed, is of a design purely classic; a small dome or cupola, supported in front by two superb Corinthian pillars, fluted and wreathed, and in the rear of Oak by two fluted Corinthian pilastres; of these visag tiifieent supporters, the whole exterior shafts, as well as capitals, are richly burnished gold. The rich carved Wreathing of flowers and laurel leaves which encircle the Co- Ittuins are of Me same brilliant material; surmounting these, a richly correct and decorated architrave frieze and cornice add to the imposing splendour of the effect ; and of these also the whole exterior is highly burnished gold. No mixture of colouring intervenes above the cornice; the top of the dome, of rich crimson velvet, shows itself, supporting on the highest point the Imperial Crown of the realm, from the decora• tions of which the Gallic fleur•de-lis seems to be es ringed. This supreme emblem of Royalty is in like manlier covered with the richest gilding. The hack of the canopy is formed by a panel of the richest dark crimson velvet ; and on this the Regal Arms of the United Kingdom are to be richly and appropriately emblazoned. The heraldic decorations are not yet finished, nor is thu Throne or Cl.. ii of State, but will be ready for the receptive of his Majesty when h.. comes down to open his first Parliament. The centre of the cornice of the entablature, above the Corinthian ca:)italt which sup• port the canopy, is a semicircular projection . , and heightens the effect of the whole, which presents a spectacle gorgeous and superb beyond description. The design of this matcaless specimen of Royal decoration is, we understand, from the pencil of L'Abbi Mc. Owen, of the Herald's College. The rich and tasteful decorations are arbnirably executed by Messrs. Elliott and Francis, of New Bond-street; and the frame work by those ingenious mecha nists Messrs. ltussel and Evans, A new Throne and Chair of State have also been provided for the Prince's, or Robing Chamber, which immediately ad joins the House; these, tho Ugh rich and elegant; are on a smaller scale, and of a less htilliant decoration, than the grand Canopy and Throne erected in the House itself. In this apartment the Sovereign robes, and receives upon ,his head the Crown, previous to his entering the great Chamber of Parliament. The sacred ceretnony of the Royal Coronation h3ving not yet taken place, on the coming occasion his Ma jesty will not, we understand, wear the Crown, 'bat a Royal Sonnet or Cap of Estate in lieu thereof.. • • The body of the Honse of Peers has received various orna mental decorations; the benches have received quilted hacks o f fin e selrlet cloth, the whole edged with a neat beading of coprer licitly gilt, which - last decoration is also received by the Bar which divides what is technically called the House fruits the space below, appropriated for the recepti on of the Commons in a body, and ordinarily for Counsel, suitors of the House, or auditors in general. All the doors of the House are newly ornamented with or-metfu architraves, fes tooned, and occasionally covered with fine scarlet cloth, trim. med and edged with rich aureo-silken lace and hinge, which, at a short distance, fully appears like broad gold lace and fringe: but is of a nature far more durable, and fully pre serrlsits freshness and lustre for a length of time. The old clot k and thermometer are removed front the bottom of the House, and replaced by new and elegant instruments of these descriptions, in neat cases of a uniform classic design ; and the covered iron ratlines in different parts of the .House are replaced by copper railings oh neat riclk gilt. The old tapestry and chandeliers only tern of these. the former, though once brilliant and admirably executed, and picturesquety recording an historic subject justly dear to English hearts (the Spanish Ainia , la,) has now, by the con nag of surrounding brilliants and superb decorations, been rendered gloomy and obscure, and will, it is said, be featured in the course of the next summer.
