TI it CONSPIRATORS.

The Governors of Tothill-fields Bridewell, a-nd
the House of Correction, Coldbith-fields, (with
their assistants,) arrived at the Home Office,
‘Vhitehall, a few minutes before eleven o'clock
yesterday, with the prisoners in their custody, in
three hackney coaches.
The Lords of the Council issued their orders
that the prisoners should be brought before them
separately. Thistletrond was first taken up stairs
to the Council Chamber. Lavender, the
Officer, of Qoeen-square, went before him ; and
Lavender, of Bow-street, and Bishop, on each side.
He walked with a hurried step, and appeared a
little agita ed. He was attended by the officers
to the presence of the Council, and was simply
told that he stood committed for highs treason and
murder. He was then taken back to the, room
behisv, and Brunt was led up in a similar manner.
The same course was observed with respect:to all
the oilier prisoners, Preston excepted. Sinstnonds
as twenty minutes before the Council, and Mo-
ournent about the same time. The latte'r• is' a
watt of very diminutive stature, but is said to pos--
sess some iniellect., On the present 'occasion he
seemed to be suffering under the agonies of ter-
ror. After they hail all nudergotie an exaniina-
tion, they occasionally e,dered into conversation.
Thistlewood wore his hat, and looked as if he had
made 'di mind up to meet his fate with firmness.

The Council, atter a deliberation of nearly two
hours, announced through the medium of Mr. Hob-
house, the under-secretary, that eight of the pri-
soners were to be committed to the Tower upon
a charge of high-!reason. These were Thistle-
wood, Brunt, Davidson, lugs, Wilson, Tidd,
Harrison, and Monument. These were then
handcuffed in pairs, and an escort of the Hulse-
Gnards was sent for. On the arrival of the
Guards, four hackney-coaches were procured, in
each of which two prisnoers were placed. They
were accompanied byThe Fort-Major of the Tower.
Capt. J. 11. Erliogton, Lavender, Bishop, Ruth-.
vett, Taunton, Salmon, and several other police 7
officers. The Horse-Guards surrounded them on
all 'sides. .Every thing being in readiness, the
carriages were driven over'Veitminster•bridge,
end by that route over London-bridge, up Fish-
street-hill, through Feochurch-street, the Nino.:
ries, to the 'Tower.. Au immense crowd witness-
ed their departure, and followed their course;
but there was not a 'Dingle sympathizing expres-
sion uttered by the throng.
After the departure of the man thus committed
for high treason, six of those who remained,—
Bradburn, Cooper, Gilchrist, Strange, HA, and
Firth, were committed to the custody of Mr.
Adkins, Governor of the House of Correction,
under different charges ; some for murder, anti
others for shouting at persons, with intent to kill.
They were conveyed to their place of destination
under !ti esc.ott of Horse-Guards, Ind accompa-
nied by several Police-officers.

Symmonds, who, it is supposed, be admit-
ted a witness for the Crown, and Preston, Were
remanded to the custody of Mr. Nodder, Gover-
nor of .Tothill-fields' prison.. Preston seemed-
quite astounded, if not disappointed, that he had
been treated with such contempt. lie bad evi-
dently prepared his mind fora " blow-up," as he
•called it, with. the Ministers ; but he said, " be
" supposed as how he had given 'cm such a taste
" afore, as they did not like him to come again."
lie underwent no examination whatever ; and its
all probability his sheer nonsense will save him
from the fate which threatens his companions.
The first intimation of the intended commit-
ment to the Tower was brought there about 2
o'clock, when orders were given to make imme-
diate preparations for the reception of several
State Prisoners, who arrived nt 20 minutes past
5. Their escort consisted of 20 Draglon Guards,
under the command of a proper Officer. The
1, official bearer of the warrant was in the first hack-
ney coach.

Each priaoner is confined in a separate apart-
ment ; two warders mined in the usual way, with
cutidS9CB and halberds, are in each iroom ; and at
each door is stationed a sentinel armed, to whose
care is intrusted the key of the room, with strict
orders not to permit more than one warder to be
absent.at a time, and that only for occasional

purposes.
Thistlewood is placed in the prison known by the name •f
the Bloody Ti,seer.
Davidson is in the prison over the water-works.
Tugs is in a different room of the same prison.
Nlonurment is iu the prison at the back of the Horse-
atlllenay.

Brunt and Harrison occupy separate apartments in the
prison over the Stune-kitchen.

Tidd is secured in the Seren-gun battery prison, and Wil-
son in the prison over the parade.

The prisoners Lave, by the indulgence of the
law, what is ca►led state allowance, fur their daily
maintenance, wh:ch, to such wretched poverty as
theits, !milt make even their present awful situa-

t;on, as compared with their confioetncot Lt Cold-
bnth-fithls, a change for the better.

The number of warders sufficient to do the or.
&nary duty of the Tower is 10 : but, as soon as
the summand for preparing the prisons reached
the. Never quarCer., dirootabos wes4 ,given to in-
crease the number of warders to 60.

The iron gate at the east end of the Tower will
be closed this morning, as is usual upon such oc-

[Morning Post.)

We have reason to belieie that the Steward of
a distinguished Female Personage, now abroad,
has received orders to have tz house in readiness
for her return to this country.

TnISTLEMOOD.—The manner in Which Thistle-
wood fled from the officers of justice immedi.tely
atter the murder, has not been noticed in the Pa-
pers, though it was in no small degree curious.
4laving escaped -from the lott by a trap door at
the top, be jumped into. the yard of one of the
liullieS in John-street. The height that he jumped
was so considerable, that few men would have ven-
tured on the. experiment made-by Tisistlewood but
in circumstances as desperate as his were at that
moment. Descending into the yard of the se-
•cond house from the corner of Cato-street, he at-
tempted to burst in at the back entrance, with a
view of passing through to John-street ; but here
he was foiled, as the back door WNI fastened.
lii this situation he manifested 'considerable pre-
sence of mind. Having knocked loudly at the
door, when he was answered by the people from
within, be demanded admittance. Those to whom
be addressed hint9clf, alarmed perhaps by the firing
which had lost been beard in the loft, hesitated to
open the door, when he called to them that be was
an officer in pursuit of the Villains who had jest
quitted the ltitt.„ anti if the door were not instantly
opened, he ivotifd break it down, as on such an
occasion he had authority to do so. His auda-
city.vanqiiished their scruples, and believing him
to be the person that hr represented himself
to be, they no longer refused to permit him to
sitter. The door was opened, and he passed
He bad previously said his bovioess was to
the house, but on finding himself in hs
fair way of getting to the It oot door, he rematk
ed, its a complimentary manner, that that. was " a
decent house," hastily inquired if they had any
person concealed in any of their apartments, and,
being answered. in the negative, he obierved,
" he could lake their word ; and Satisfied with the
assurance that be had received, would give thew
no further trouble." lie•then made his exit by
the, trout door, mud the people to whom he had
addressed himself had no doubt that he was trolly
a Police officer. it was not till they saw in the
newspapers of the following dny the description of
the murderer, that they knew the person they
had allowed to pass thtough their premises was
no other then the notorious Arthur Mist le-

The Election for the City of London will com-
mence on 'Tuesday next : and we are happy to
believe it will not be attended with those dis4rnce-
ful
tinutdis which have heretofore occurred. The
la a ploceedings in the Court of King's Berndt
against Messrs. Hunt, Waithman, llutcotnbe,
&c. %vita:ever may be their eveutual result, must
at least lia•e read the patties concerned, and
their ft iende, a serious lesson on the improptiety
of riotous conthic. The great body of ilia
Livery art now alive to that violation ot their
rights and privileges, which is effected by dis-
turbing the freedom of Election. At the Nlcet-
lug yesterday at the London Taveto, it W 619
laudably resolved that the Gentlemen present should
personally attend with their friends to support
the nomination of the Candidate whose cause they
espouse, against all illegal %iolence. This manly
and spirited conduct becomes the Lively. They
must stand by each other, not only on Tuesday
next, but ' throughout the Election, to prevent
the indignities ()tiered by pet sons who are not
Liverymen, but who intrude into the Ilan to
overhear and clamour down thole that are. It
Ctillnut be forgotten, that Thistlewood, in the
course of his; dispute with (hunt, some weeks
ago, affirmed that he (Thistlewood) had on a cer-
tain occasion tilled a great part of the Hall with
his friends to support [Lint : and what lengths
some of them were prepared to go we can now
easil7 couctive. l'he Lord Mayor hstwaver,
from his sense or public duty, 'nil trona a just
regard to his own character, will no doubt take
ample precaution to prevent any di,tiobance of
the, Election, on city pretence or ftom any quar-
ter whatsoever.
