passed for thelservant of Pierey, under the fictitious name of

powder, faggots, Acc. In proper order for explosion, and at the
same time concealment from too dittoes observadion, as the doors
a the cellar were left open foi public inspection, to avoid suspi•
don. Fawkes was apprehended at the entrance of the cellar-
door, about midnight, by Sir Thomas Knevett, a Gentleman of
his Majesty's Privy Chamber, and a Justice of' Peace in West-
minster, who immediately carried before the Privy Council,
before whom be aSrmed, that had' he been within the doors at
the time of his apprehehsion, he would have Wotan himself up,
wish all those that were about him at the time. He was after-
wards examined at WhitehaU, where no man, of whatever. rank,
was denied access or speech with him ; and, notwithstanding the
motioned teazing and impertinent questioos.that were put to
him, it was observed, he neither changed tountenance nor lost
Ms temper the whole ti,me,...treating the better sort with scorn,
and mocking, the rest. Ho was from the Council conveyed to
the Tower, where, although he was sheeted and threatened with
the-sack, he still seemed fixed In his first purpose of denying any
' e whatever; and it is asserted he was prevailed en to
e what confession he did from the following circumstance
befog told hint, upon such authority as be could not doubt :
There was one Mr. Pickering, of Tichtnarch Grove, in
Serthamptonsbire, who was in great esteem with King James.
'This Mr. Pickering had a horse of special note for swiftness, on
:which he used to hunt with the King. A little before the blow
was to be given, Mr. Keles, one of the conspirators, borrowed
the horse of hint, and conveyed him to London upon a bloody
design, which was thus contrived :—Fawkes, upon the day of
the fatal blow, was appointed to retire into St. George's-fields,
where this horse was to attend him, to further his escape (as
they made him believe) so soon as the Parliament House should
be blown up. It was likewise contrived that Mr. Pickering,
who was a noted Puritan, should that morning be murdered in
his bed, and conveyed away ; as also that Fawkes, as soon as
he came into St. George's-fields to escape, should be there risur.,
clued, and so mangled that he could not be known. Whereupon
it was to be bruited abroad that the l'uritans bad blown up the
Parliament House ; and the better to make the world believe it,
there was lir. Pickering with his choice horse, ready to make
as escape. But that stirred up some, who seeing the heinous.
ness of the fact, and him ready to escape, in detestation of so
horrible a deed, fell upon him and hewed him to pieces; and to
make it more clear, there was his horse, known to be of special
speed and swiftness, ready to carry him away ; and upon this
rumour a massacre should have gone through the whole land
upon the Puritans.—Whtn the contrivance of this plot was thus
discovered by some of the conspirators, and Fawkes who was
now a prisoner in the Tower, made acquainted with it, whereas
before he was made to believe by his companions that he should
be bountifully rewarded, for that his, good service to the Ca-
tholic cause; now perceiving that, on the contrary, his
death had been contrived by them, he therefore freely con-
fessed all that he knew concerning that horrid conspiracy, which,
before, all the tortures of the rack could not force him unto. The
truth of this was attested by Mr. William Perkins, who had it
from Mr. Clement Cotton, to whom Mr. Pickering gave the
above relation. Guy Fawkes resided in a large mansion called
Faux Hall, the site of which is now occupied by Marble Hall
and the Cumberland Tea-gardens, and was Lord of the Manor.
He used to have frequent meetings with the rest of the conspi-
rators at a house (at the back of St. Clement's Church) lately
pulled down. This consummate villain was executed with 'filo-
rues White, Ambrose Rockwood, and Robert Keles, within the'
Old Palace-yard, Westminster, not far from the Parliament
House, January 31, 1606.

This being the Anniversary of Gunpowder Plot, it
was observed in the usual manner in the Metropolis.
The Park and Towet guns were fired at one o'clock,
and the bells of London and Westminster rang at
intervals during the whole of the day.
ACCIDENT FROM FIRE•WORKS.—Between one and
two o'clock yesterday afternoon, a young than; of the
name of Freeman, a lodger in the house of Mr. Keates,
6, Pelham-street, Brick-lane, Spital-fields,• making
some squibs and other fire-works, held a paper of gun-
powder in one hand, whilst with the other he went to
throw some loose powder into the fire; - The sudden t
flash communicated with the powder in his hand,
which exploded; his face and eyes were in conse-
quence shockingly burned, and it is feared he will
lose the sight of both his eyes ; his hair was burnt,
and. his right arm shockingly maimed ; he was im-
mediately carried to the London Hospital:—An ap-
prentice to Mr. Dunbald, pawnbroker, Skinner-street,
Somers Town, met with a similar accident in making
fire-works, a few days ago, on which occasion the
house had a narrow escape from being set on fire, th'e'
shop window being blown to pieces, and several of
the pledges destroyed. .
Last week Mrs. Walker; of Graph-lath, York, had
the misfortune to set her clothes on fire. She called
to her husband to envehip her in_a wet blanket, which
was at hand. He instantly came down stairs, but
the sight of his wife's situation so overcame his pre-
sence of mind, that he had not the power to follaw
her advice. The poor woman then ran into the street,
where her presence excited equal indecision. At last,
a person passing by humanely wrapped her in his•
coat, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames. ft
was now necessary to strip Mrs. Walker's clothei,
and some wretch availed himself of this scene of con-
fusion and distress to steal her pockets, out of which
he took the little money therein, and left them in the
highway in Petergate. The poor woman was deli=
vered of a male child about two o'clock on Wednes-
day morning, and only survived three hours. The
child is quite perfect, and likely to live. The hus-
band was so much burnt by endeavouring to extin-
guish the flames, that he has since been incapable of
following his usual occupation.
Saturday se'nnight, Mr. Gino's, saddler, in St.
Andrews, Scotland, went out to the Links for the pur-
pose of shooting rabbits. His gun flashed, when he
took it from his shoulder and placed the butt on the
ground. While in the act of taking the powder-flask
from his pocket in order to re-prime, the gun sud-
denly went off, and the shot struck him on the chin,
and dreadfully lacerated the whole of the left side of
his face. Medical assistance was speedily procured,
but there are but slight hopes of his recovery.
' Tuesday evening. one of the London stage coaches
, broke down between Knuuford and Warrington, when
one of the outside passengers (a female) was killed on
the spot. She had with her a child six months old.

4.

Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, one of the
Wandsworth coaches, with 12 outside passengers,
broke down iu Blackman-street, Borough, by which
the whole fell into the mud, two of whom appeared
much hurt, and were put into,a hackney chariot
but fortunately no lives were lost. The accident oc-
curred by the breaking of the fore asletree and the
badness of thep avement, which is in a deplorable
state throughout the Metropolis.
Yesterday, as a poor man was crossing the end of
Westminster Bridge, he was knocked (Ibsen by a wag-
gon, one of the wheels of which passed over hisshoul-
der. He was takes to the Hospital in a very" danger-
ous coaclitioa.

This morning; about a quarter after lin, the Loll]) Mr. John Amphlett's b. Is. Black Legs - - fell.
CHANCELLOR came into Court. A handsome Subscription is entered into for next„year, J. EL
Pidcock. Esq. and J. Grazebrook, Esq. having accepted the of..
LORD PHRTSMOUTH. flee of Stewards.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he undertood that __
yesterday, in his absence, this matter was mentioned;
that, since that time, several affidavits have been
feed, which be and his clients had mean opportunity
of seeing,' nor should he be able to meet the matter
to-morrow as he wished ; and therefore he hoped his
Lordship would be good enough to order it to stand
over until Thursday.
Mr. Itoßsa concurred in wishing the matter to be
Isottponed ; but he hoped his Lordship would not
name so early a •day as Thursday—for this reason,
that he had not had an opportunity of seeing the af-
fidavits made in answer to those Of Dr. Bankhead:
but the fact was, -that what had been felt to be the
true spirit of his Lordship's intimation, which was in-
tended to operate'as, an order to allow, at reasonable
times, reasonable me' lical access, to -the Earl of Ports-
mouth, had not been duly acteelupon ; for such access
had not been allowed, so that it had been impossible
properly to act upon it. • -
Lotto CHANCELLOR." I have read all the affi-
Vavits in support of this Petition ; I have read also,
the 'affidaviisofthe Medical Gentleman,:and I do not
impute any evil. intention whatever to anybody. I
have since read 'all the affidavits which have been
made in support of, and against the Petition, and I
hare likewise read the'affidavits which were filed but
yesterday, to account for what passed, according to the
statement in Doctor Bankhead's affidavits. _lt is ex-
tremely fitting that you should have an opportunity,
on all sides, of looking at them : and particularly
those affidavits that /were filed yesterday; and, on
Thursday morning, I shall consider that the question
for my determination, for the present, will be this:
What / am to do,in the present circumstances of this
case? I haven() difficulty in saying that, in my view
of my order, that order has not been interpreted as I
think it ought to have been interpreted under the
circumstances that have taken place." •
Mr. HORNE trusted that £hose circumstances should,
hereafter, be explained to his Lordship's satisfaction.
The LORD CHANCELLOR trusted lie was a person
who had, in the course of the last 40 years, acquired
some knowledge of what, his duty was on such a sub-
ject as this ; and, according to that knowledge, 'be,
had no conception that a medical man should go
down to the North and examine a person said to be
a lunatic, except in the presence of another medical
man—not that he meant to attach blame to the in-
tention of any party whatever ; nor did he say it
was improperly concealed from the party who went,
who should be there besides, or whether anybody!
should; on the contrary, such concealment was, under
all the circumstances of the case, very prudent.—.l
44 If," said his Lordship, " this were a question in
'which this Court had no jurisdiction, and a case. of
this kind affords many points on which this Court
'has no jurisdiction, for 'a ,great many matters may
arise between these parties in which this Court has no
•jurisdiction, I am pretty confident to say, now, that
I could put many points for trial elsewhere; but the
simple question for me at
_present is, whether there is,
in this distressing case, that evidence of weakness and
imbecility in the mind of this Noble Earl, that autho-
rizes me, under all the horrors of this case, to issue a
Commission of Lunacy? And that might involve
many questions; but the first quebtioa is, whethee
my mind is satisfied on that point? because,' after
reading all the affidavits-, the question will be for me
to determine whether, under all the circumetassee4- 1
am justified in saying that I shall 4 Or Shea "Mk- issue

Lord Fitzwilliam's Fox-hounds have shewn very good Sport
this early part of the season,. in the Wentworth County, which
they quit this day to hunt during the remaining part of the season
in Northamptonshire. They met on Tuesday last, at Kilnhurst
Bridge, at first drew Hooton Gorse. Immediately after the
hounds were thrown into cover, a fox broke away in the direc-
tion of Denaby Wood, but leaving that cover to the left, he
Jnade for Cornsborough Cliff, where he went to ground. They
then tried Denaby Wood, where they again found Iteynard was
not slow in quitting the cover, bending his course to Klinhurst
Brldge,but turning to the left, and passing Hootoi Robert's Vil-
lage, and Norcliffe Hill, he gained the cover where he was found ;
the hounds, however, pressing him closely, be was soon com-
pelled once more to quit his favourite haunt, and he now went
off in gallant style, skirting Mr. Fullerton's plantation, and dis-
daining the refuge of the cover; he suddenly turned to the right
across the open country for the river Dun, which he crossed
near filexbrough. The held having now become very manage-
able, and the hounds being well laid int• their fox, after cross-
ing the river, Reynard's fate appeared decided; he, however,
boldly crossed the enclosure towards Swinton, directing his
course towards Gdlden Smither's cover, through which he passed
to Swinton Race Course, where, bring headed, he turned back
pointing fur home, and was run into by the Stanmer Pack, near
the Lock-house of the Dearne and Dove Canal, after a sharp
hunt of one hour and two minutes.
