It has been erroneously stated, that there had bee&
near four hundred persons shut up in the Exchange,
the LORD MAYOR keeping the few Only who appeared
to be-the ringleaders, or who manifested most via
lance. Eventually three only were detained, viz.
lanes Carter, John Cashesere, and /ohm Never. The
latter, who was seized by Sir JAMES SHAW, appeared
to be the leader of the mob; he carried the Bag de-
scribed in our Paper of yesterday, and wore a tri.
coloured cockade in his hat. He was extremely vin.
lent when secured, spoke high of his own authority,
and threatened the LORD MAYtilt, Lipnn searching
him, there were found in his possession a number of
papers. chiefly relating to the Spa-fields Meeting, the
expense of meting a hustings, &c. Some of these
were signed by Preston, whose name has already
appeared to the advertisements of the Meeting. A
case of pistols was also found in his pocket loaded,
which, upon examination, did not appear to have
been very recently discharged. Being asked by the
Officer who had him in custody-at Lloyd's, what
was the motive of himself and his companions ? he
replied, that they 18 same into the City in order to
obtain the assistance of the Lord Mayor, to interfere,
if pmssible, with the Prince Regent, with respect to
their Petition."

The Loao MAYOR yesterday held two several era.
minations upon this subject, when he put a number
of ititerrogitories to the three prisoners.
John Hooper said he was the Treasurer to the
Spa-fields Meeting. but had very little mosey to held.
He knew the two Mr. Watson', who had addresser!
the Meeting on Monday, and was there himself, from
whence he set off, with several others, towards the
City." While at the lietvettag some individual put a
case of pistols into his hand, but he was unityle to
say whom. These he put into his pocket, but did
not mean to use them. He also acknowledged having
carried the colours, and worn the cockade, and stated
the reason he bad had for corning into the City.
John Cashmere said he was a discharged seaman,
and had come up from Deptford to town on Monday
1 morning. He was standing close by es a large church
and castle" (meaning St: Paul's),` when he was ac.
costed by another sailor, a stranger, who asked him
it he wished to take a walk for it short time? He
replied yes, and the stranger instantly put into his
hands a musket, and they proceeded together, arid
joined a number of others, who were marching. He
had no conception of what it meant. The last wit-
ness, when taken at the Exchange, had a musket in
his possession
James Carter, who had also the appearance of a
seaman, said he was a shoemaker. He met a num-
ber of person: marching through ,the citron Mon.
day, and joined them. He admitted that he carried
the tri-colfiured flag part of the way from Spa-fields,
but says he is ignorant of any Meeting, or of any
preconcer led plan.
The prisoners confessed being with the mob when
he outrage took place at Snow-hill, but denied
having the slightest share in that shocking transac-
tion. They also expressed their readiness to Jell all
they knew.
The prisoner Hooper joining in the above declara
tion, and being evidently acquainted with some of
the proceedings at the Spa-fields Meeting, the Lotto
MAYOR deemed it to hold a private examina. 1
.tion. Little, however, was gone into at this inves-
tigation, but Hqoper confessed that he had been in-
cited,to join and lead the mob, in 'consequence of the
inflammatory language he had heard from Watson
'at the early part•of the Meeting on Monday.
The prison. rs were all remanded for exathination
on a luture day. •
-throughout the whole of yesterday, all was peace
. and • rder in the City. A few troops remaioed, in
the neighbourhood, in cam of necessity, or for 'the
purpose of conveying dispatches between the offices
of the other Magistratesi or that of the Secretary of
St4iti with whom the LOAD MAYOR had frequent

communication&
The following particulars transpired yesterday at
