FANATI,C.

Particulareilrom.a Moining Paper.)

The unhappy fanatic who was arrested yesterday near,
theentranee to the House of Lords-, immediately in-
was seized by the police Officer thrust the muzzle 01
his pistol in his right cheek and attempted to die.
charge it, but it only flashed in the'pan. It was
first intended to bring him to the bar of thelleirze,
but under all the circumstances- of the ase; the
Black Rod, Sir Thomas. Tyrwhitt, consigned hiM
toi the civil power, and he remained fot a long time-
in a room at the ;Home Office. He
will be examined at Bow-street, ,on Friday, at
twelve ti'oo4.
Ifir had been observed about the entrance of the
Lords from Friday laSt to the' time of his arrest.
He is an athletic powerful man, with prominent and
strongly -marked featttrez, aweathet-beaten face, and
an expression heavy and morose. By kindness of
mannet, he was itutueed to abandon his taciturnity,
and a cautious indirect mode of questioning, elicited
a good. many ,fac ts. •

from :Irk infancy studied the miracles of the Old
Testament, and every-part of it where the Lord an-
joined the slaughter ofmankiad for their wickedness.,
Helhinaseltwas deeply iintiCeieed with the sinfulneis
of the world,,anti• the Lord bad appeared to him hi
many visions, enjoining Min to 'preach re asst

listkpTlKM, as had been the, case
in America ; and because he had ceased to preach
lightcottimeasi; the Lord..had' persecuted hitatriight
and day. Ile was now weary 'of life, • and brat-
tempting to kill. some great man he knew he should
teach the world the reality of his mission, and for the
sake of which ha was content to die.
He said he had sailed in a privateerlor Baltimore
and Charleston, hilt' that the Lord lied stopped the
vessel; and when he told the Captain of this, lie
laughed at him ; but the Lord immediately wrought
a miracle, by changing the wind, and obliging the
Captain to put back. He had seen n man stand in
the sun " which had never been seen before since
the creation ;" and the Lord having told him that
lie would kill for him all his enemies, the vision
proved true, for, when he retained to Cork, he
found that in his absence nine of those who had
dispossessed him, of his property on the ground of
his being insane, including the attorney, had died;
and whilst he was at Cork. the 'Lord produced an
earthquake.
The unhappy man's ideas were confined •to such
Subjects. Be had no particular wish, he said,. to
kill the Duke of Wellington, but he maintained that
an the miseries of the poor, the crimes .of war, and
particularly the 50,000 souls killed at Waterloo,
were owing to the vices of the great people, who
were selfish, roguish, and oppressive, and that they
ought to 'be killed; and by'his killing-some of them
the world would be reformed, and then "come to an
end.

There was evidently some imposition in his his-
tories of 'himielf. When, questioned upon the na-
ture of Charleston harbour, his answers evinced his
ignorance of the localities of the place : and, more-
over, he used several terms respecting his being on
ship-board, totally inconsistent with nautical phrase-
ology : such us putting a sbilf about at anchor. It
appears that he had been confined as a lunatic at Bal-
timore. Although his notions of killing great men
were very extensive, he was evidently bent upon
one individual, and Seemed sullen and distressed
When the subject was alluded to. His pistol was
bought in the Minories for,, 75., and which may,
pretty well account for its not going off. He wow
dressed ail a common labourer, and he Complained'
that his companion had, enjoined him to'do What he
intendediand bad now deserted him.

(ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.)
;The person who first laid hold of the unfortunate
man was Mr. Gilbert, one of the Marshals of the
HOMO of Lords, at whom he snapped the pistol,
but, fortunately, it only flashed in the pan. Another
of the persons in attendance then rushed forward to
secure him, when he icocked another pistol, and
snapped it at that individual also; but this pistol,
like the first, fortunately missed fire. The prtsoner
was then sent in custody to the Home,' Office, and
a messenger was immediately despatched for ,Sir
Richard Birnie, at Bow-street, before whom the
prisoner underwent is very long examination, when
it appeared that the' unfortunate man had been in
town only eight days, and that he had been, until
lately, the mate of a ship trading between Liverpool
and Ayr, in SCOIIIIII4. His manner was confused
and incoherent, as will appear from the preceding
account, and there was some difficulty experienced
by the Magistrate, and those who assisted in the
examination, to put the, evidence in form. The
knife which the prisoner had concealed. on his per-
son was described as a butcher's' knife, and, the
maker of it has been discovered; and will attend
at Bow-street on' Friday, to prove that the
Flamer purchased it from him. As (Mon as
he was liberated from the custody of the officers of
the House of Lords, he was handed over to Sir R.
Biritie, who immediately consigned him to the Charge
of Rutltven and Ellis, two, of the principal Bow-
*greet officers, by whom he was placed in a one,
and sent in custody to the House of ,Correction,
Coldbath-fields, from whence, as stated above, he
will be, brought to Bowsetreet-ollice on Friday next,
to undergo another examination. He had been seen
about the entrance to the House of Lords for some
days previous, and he was so anxious in his inquiries
as to the carriages of the Noble Lords, and particu-
larly a; to which was the Duke of Wellington's,
that on Tuesday night, the person whose duty it is
to call the carriages immediately on the brealtingup
of the House, omitted, from prudential motives,
seeing the prisoner present, to call out the names of
the noble owners.

On Tuesday Mr. Courtenay, of tho House lof
Lords, lied occasion to go into the city, and as soon
as his carriage drew tip at the dim` in Abingdon-
Streets the prisoner ran forwardand eagerly desired
to know if that carriage belonged to the Duke of
Wellington. We have heard from very respectable
authority, that soon after the prisoner was taken
into custody, three persons, whose appearance be-
spoke respeetabilily, came for►Vard and offered to
buil him, but the proposal, under the circumstances,
with of course declined.
