RAptcAt. Peroasseita.—Tnestlay night, a JArge-
party of the Radical Reformers, who met in a
tavern in the Gallowgate, Glasgow, were appre7
hentled by a warrant of the Sheraff of the County,
and committed to jail ; 26 it, all were seized, coo-
sistiog' of delegates from various places in the
City and Sabot bs, as also ft not diffrrrnt towns .
and villages. in, the neighbouring Counties.--
Their examinations are -now going on at the
Court Room before the Sheriff. The appear-
ance of the tniiiusiy, and the seizure' of such a
number of individual 3, collected a considerable
-crowd. The }hop-keepers closed their shops
and for about an hour there was much bustle
and confusion in the street. The, military guard,'
itr returning to the Barracks, were followed by 3:
crowd of disorderly 'persons, and assailed with
stones. We are glad to understand, however, that
.four of the most' active in the molt were laid hold
'ot, and are now in custody ; and that a precogni-
tion is going on with a view to their, trial for this
daring offence. The sentioels at the jail were
doubled, and in a short time the town attained its
usual tranquillity.—(Edinburg/J. courant, Feb. 26-)

THE MURDEROUS CONSPIRACY.

Great curiosity has been manifested to obtain

a sight of Tliistle‘vood and Lip associates. Among

those who have gained admit!ance into the House
of Correction, Cold-bath Fields, to see them,

ate :—the Marquess of Anglesey, Lnrd Graves,
Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Sir Arthur &c
The other prisoners who have been apprehended
no the charge of being concerned in the Cato.

street gang of assassins, and on the charge of
Iligh Treason, connected tvith the conduct or the
gang, ate committed to l'othill-fields Bridevrell.

Lot Ellealmrough, C,,ptain Firzetarence, and
tre understand, some of the Niini•tcrc, sent sob-
scriptlons for the officers, aml a naroher of others.

The Cabinet Council sat yesterday upon the
subject, at twelve o'clock, at the Secretary of
State's Office for the 'lonic Department, hnt none

of die prisoners in custody, or any of the wit-
nesses, ‘vete c xatnincd. The Cottocil broke up

3,oti after OUC o'clock.

Officers were, not more numerous on tl►e night of
the attack of the Cato-street Gang was, hat they
vi-ere distributed at the offices, and at the official

G(n.lemen's Louses.

This;lewood was yesterday in better spirits than
on any preceding day. He says but little upon
he subject of his attest. lie exclaimed, when
first in cu•toriy that he had stuck to the Nlinisters
to the fact, ri would do so whde he breathed.
He stands committed for the double crime of
tee7son awl murder. Brant, who it is
ascertained was present in Cato-street on IVed-
nesday night, is committed for high treason alone,
sod the other nine, whose names we have so re-
peatedly given. are committed for murder. Two
of them ascribe their unfortunate situation to the
influence of liont's speeches and Cobbett's
writni,,;s Monument saes, when he found what
teas contemplated, he emleavoured to get away,,
but vidsors, the sentinel, at the bottom of the
ladder, would not let him depart.
As 1 bistlewirod and all the parties concerned
arc so miserably poor, a question has been asked,
how they could procure the quantity of arms
found in the stable and loft The answer is, that
the arms wete all of a description which cost
lio:hing hut labour in wood and iron, and the
conspirators were all of them mechanica, carpen-
ters, and smiths. The poles, intended for pikes,
were young trees, procured front the nursery-
grounds, the Regent's Park, or hop-poles. The
iron heads (excepting only the labour) arc scarcely
worth more than a shilling a score, so that five
shillings would have supplied one hundred of
them. The halls were made of melted pewter.
Uvon the whole, never were contemptible means
rendered more formidable by ingenious malice
and daring wickedness.
A rumour has been spread abroad that proofs
can be adduced of the absence of Thistlewood
from the premises in Cato-street on the night of
the arrest of the Conspirators. For this there is
not the slightest foundation. In addition to the
positive testimony of Ruthven, Ellis, mid West-
colt, who saw him in the loft, and saw him sub-
sequently escape from the stable, we now learn,
that previous to the attack made by Mr. Birnie and
his gallant hand, lie was seen and spoken to by
Lee astd Chapman, two other officers, in John-
street. These men were upon the 100k-out, and
were observed by Thistlewood, who approached
them as if to learn the subject of their conver-
sation. Ile looked hard in their faces, and they
turned their remarks to some indifferent topic.—
Lee said to Thistlewood, he thought if was very
rude to stare at them in that way, and endeavour
to hear what they were saying, upon which he
turned upon his heel, and walked away.
A private, but humane intimation, has been
given to Miniver) and Ellis to take especial care
of themselves, as threats have been made to cut

them off before the hour of trial shall arrive.
The deluded miscreants by whom these bloody
intentions have been manifested• do not seem to
be aware that, independently of the evidence of
those men, there is quite sufficient to seal the fate
of their associates,

Yesterday Thomas Preston, the noted cobler,
was apprehended by Lavender and Bishop, at his
obscure lodging, in Princes•street, Drury-lane,
by virtue of a warrant from Mr. Justice Birnie.
He was brought to the Public Office, Bow-street,
and underwent a short examination. This poor,
ignorant, impudent, deluded man, conducted him •

self in a similar manner to what he did when he

bad been in custody upon former occasions, with
igosorant indifference, nutking use of the most low
and scurrilous language towards Gentlemen too

contemptible to repeat ; but his gross ins►►lts were
principally directed against Lord Sidmouth. He
was of course detained in custody.
Private information was yesterday evening given
to Lavender and Bishop, that Palin, for whose
apprehension a reward of 2001. has been offered,
was concealed in a house in the neighbourhood
of Battle-bridge. They proceeded immediately
with their informer to the spot described, but
found there. Was no ground for the suspicion which
had arisen, Though the officers did not find Pa-

tin, they found three men and a woman of some-
what swpicious appearance. One roan vt,:s in bed,
and said he was unwell. 'no patrol (Jeffery and
Tanner) suspecting him to be one of the Cato.
street gang of assassins, and that he was in bed

in consequence of the bruises he I►act received,

made Ilia; get up, vi hen he evas found ro have all

. .
his clothes on except his shoes. They stripped
him, but be had nu bruises. The other two
men were melting, lead in a frying-pan. One of
the men lived at that phice, the others in Mon-

mouth-sfreet and Brownlow-street. They were
all three brought to the office, and underwent an
examination before ;Mr when ther'e being
no charge against them, and they not helot.:
known, they were discharged. It i 3 supposed
that Palin might have taken the alarm, and escap-
ed at tne back of the house while the officers were
kocrekiug at the door.
