Thisltewood is much altered in his personal ap-
pearance of late. He never was a very comely
man, but now he looked care-worn and exhaust-
ed ; and though he affected to appear firm and
unmoved, yet there, was a ghastliness in his
countenance, and a restless anxiety in his eye,
which manifested a spirit perturbed in the ex..,
treme. Yesterday, whilst the officers were relata
lug the circumstances of his arrest to the Magis-
trates at Bow-street, he snood by the fire, his hands
still manacled, and seemed to listen to all they saltl
with the most intense anxiety ; a hectic flush
shooting over his face as the different instruments
of destruction which had been fooird were men'
tinned or brought into view. He was asked no
questions there, nor did he speak at all ; but
the vtorthy Magistrate having satisfied himself as
to the identity of his person, scot him off in..
:tautly to be examined before the Privy Council.
He was taken there in the same hackney coach,
and in the custody of the same officers us ho had
brought him front White-street ; and as the coach
drove off from the door of the office, the crowd,
which by this time filled the street, tittered burl
cries of execration. Mr. Hirnie instantly follow- •
