THE LATE DISTUPEANCE.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was yesterday visited, in tl:e
Tower, by his family and several of his friends. No
extraordinary precaution was observed there, nor .'.id
there appear in any part of the town the slightest is
to tumult or disorder.
In consequence of a circular letter from Mr. Secre-
tary RYDER, the several Volunteer Corps in the Me-
tropolis, which have been under arms at their several
parades since Fridry, were List nighi dismissed.
Among the regiments brought hither in conse-
quence of the recent disturbances, is the 26th or Ca-
meronians. An express arrived at Horsham, where
they were stationed, fer the troops in garrison to pro-
ceed for lemden without delay. In less than an hour
they were on the road, every man provided with sixty
rounds of hall-cartridge. The 26th arrived a: Epsom
on Sunday, and on Monday arrived at Wimbledon.
Head-quarters are now at Clapham, with detachments
billetted through the neighbourhood, all ready at a
moment's warning to march to the Metropolis.
Thomas Ebtall, who was shot in the shop of Mr.
GOODEVE, on Monday, was alive lest night, but with-
out the smallest chance of recevet y.
The City Marshals addressed :t note to Mr. GOOD-
EYE, requesting his attendanu before the Court of
Aldermen, at Guildhall, yesterday, to give evidence
on the subject of Ebtali's melancholy case.
The purport of his evidence was, that. Mr. Ebtall
was a perfect stranger to him. and during the tu•
milt which took place in Fenchurch-street, on
the return of the cavalry escorting Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT to the Tower, he took shelter in his
shop at the c.nter of Mincing-lane.—At the time
Ebtall received the wound, he was standing near
to the threshold of the door, and was neither
hissing, hooting, nor provoking the soldiery in ail,
way whatever ; the populace had all dispersed in
different directions, and there were scarcely two per-
sons together.
A petition was yesterday presented by a master
builder, in the neighbourhood of Tower-hill, to the
Committee of City Finance, praying £2O, compen-
sation, being the value of bricks taken from him by
the populace, on Monday, at the time Sir FRANCIS
BeaDerr was conveying to the Tower.
As Mr. Robins, jun. of Warwick-street, mounted
on a spirited young horse was riding along Piccadilly
on tlunday, the crowd hailed hint with " Hats off,"
at which shout and outcry his horse became some-
what alarmed, and reared and plunged most violently;
n twithstAn,iitu; wlfch they insisted on his pulling
off his hat (which had he complied with his horse
would have been quite unmanageable, and endan-
eered both hint and the populace) and pelted him
with mud, which hit him several times in the face.
At length, observing the man who threw at him, he
resolutely rode into the midst of them, seized hold,
and dragged him from among them, and gave him
in charge of a constable. A more manly or spirited
conduct we cannot record.
Tuesday night, as Adkins, the Bow-street Officer,
was comirg from the Secretary of State's Office, at

the end of the Piazza, in Russell-street, a pistol was
flied within three yards of him, at the time several
persons were passing ; he instantly laid hold of the
man That fired it, and a woman that was standing
with him at the time, and was proceeding to take
them to the office, when several people attempted to
rescue them, but without effect. He sent the woman
to the watch-house, and took the man to the Secre-
tary of State's Office, where Mr. READ and Mr.
GRAHAM were in attendance, when he was commit-
ted for further examination. He said his name was
Hartley, that he came on Friday last from Yorkshire;
he bought the pistol on that day, to protect his
p-operty ; when searched, he had a Al note and two
or three shillings ; he lodged at the Saracen's Head,
on Snow-hill, and left it a little before ten o'clock
the same night, after loading the pistol with ball.—
In his lodgings was found about se4o ; and, from
some cards found on him, he is supposed to be a me-
dical student from Edinburgh.
