City. Militia kept watch in the Royal Exchange.
'The Inns'ot Court had their gates closed, and
the shops in almost all the principal streets of the
city were shut up.
In cnnsequence of the recommendation of the
Lord Mayor, the respectable 'inhabitants of the
several Watch pressed forward to be sworn in as
special constables ; and in Candlewick Ward
alone more than one half of the householders were
enrolled in less than mu hour. It is. supposed.that
several thousands were upon the whole sworn in,
and anion; others, the Members of Lloyd's and the
Stock Exchange.

Two of the ruffians who were-seized yesterday,.
and taken up to the ComMittee-room at Lloyd's,
are named Cooper and Cashman : the, first a
shoemaker; the second a sailor. They were both
taken with arms in their po3session ; one of
them had his pistol loaded. The sailor said, on
being questioned by the City .111arshal, that be
had b.t one life to lose, and he did not ca..c; he
had no work, could get hone, and could not
starve. Being asked where his parish was, he said
he was born at sea, and Lied no parish. Cooper
would not answer any onestion put to hint he
would only say his 'mine was John Cooper.
A portion of the mob from Spa-fields, after in-
dulging- themselves for an hour or two, proceeded
by the way of St. Giles's, and down Catharine-
street into the Strand, making pretty free where-
ever it suited their purpose. Holywelkstreet,
St. Clement's, seemed particularly to invite them.
Their Chief object of attack there, about seven
o'clock,- was the Dog Tavern They broke al-
most all the front windows, and carried'off ail the
whole of the exposed larder. Next they assailed
the'premises of an elderly man, a Mr. Gilbert, who

guards and of dragoons, followed up by more ftioet
guards and artilloyinen, all with bayonets fixed or:

tlfe would-be depredators to skulk into lanes and
corners, am! mutter the discontent which they
were afraid openly to avow. Numerous straggliug
parties ran .bout the west-end of the town, which
attracted numbers of gazers, who, without any
