last, at Mr. Parker's, Holborn. These four pistols have been traced and identified. One of them was found on Watson, sen, two were taken from Hooper, who was seized at the Exchange, and the fourth is discovered to have been the one with which Mr. Platt was shot. One of the notes with which Watson paid for the pistols, and on which his address is written, has been traced, and got back by Mr. Parker's shopman, who had paid it away. The note being thus found, an officer was dispatched to Hyde-street, Bloomsbury, and there discovered the residence of the two Watsons. The apartments were searched, and several papers were seized. Among them was a letter from Hunt, the orator, to Watson, jun. on the subject of the Spa fields meeting. Justice, however, demands that we should declare that there was nothing in this letter which could at all implicate Mr. Hunt with what took place in the city. It appeared to be an answer to letters written by Watson, jun. to Mr. Hunt while he was in the country. Watson and his son were seen together in the mob: the father has been identified as one of that part of the mob which passed through Skinnerstreet at the time of the assassination: he was also particularly active during the depredations in the Minories. There is little doubt, therefore, that the father and son both fled from town together; and the partner in their flight is supposed to bave had as much reason to escape as themselves.

No trace has as yet been discovered of the route taken by the younger Watson. 5007. reward has been offered by Government, and 1007, by the City, for his apprehension. Watson's apartment was filled with palitical lumber, in print and manuscript. There were found drafts of petitions to Parliament, devices for flags, banners, and all the paraphernalia for organizing mobs. For some days previous to the last meeting Watson did not appear at his lodgings, and it is conjectured that he was busily employed night and day elsewhere in arranging with Hooper, Preston, and other chiefs of this contemptible though desperate plot, that plan of plunder and devastation which unfortunately succeeded to a certain extent.

J. Hooper, treasurer of the Spa-fields meeting, was one of the rioters taken by the Lord Mayor at the Exchange. Carter and Cashman, two other rioters, were taken at the same time. These three have been repeatedly examined before the Lord Mayor. Preston, the secretary to the Spa-fields meeting, has also been apprehended at his lodgings, and frequently examined. Cashman, Gambell, Hooper, Preston,andSimons, are committed for trial. Gunnell, a drayman, is remanded for ano

ther examination. As these infatuated men are to be tried by their country, we shall for the present abstain from detailing the circumstances that were developed at their several examinations. Preston took frequent opportunities to address the Lord Mayor, and assumed great official cousequence, evidently seeking, by means of his inflammatory harangues, for the ap probation of his deluded followers.

The scandalous acts of riot, above detailed, are we trust unlikely to alarm the metropolis and the country at large by their repetition. The objects of the desperadoes are now completely unmasked and the investigations that have already taken place, will doubtless ensure the preservation of peace and order, should any further attempt be made.

MR. HUNT'S MEETING.

Soon after the body of rioters, whose proceedings are detailed in the preceding article, marched off from Spa-fields, Mr. Hunt arrived in a handsome tandem, enjoying the applause that he excited. He alighted at Merlin's Cave, and made his appearance at the front window, and moved that Mr. W. Clarke should take the chair. This being agreed to, Mr. C. entreated the assembly to suffer no spies or informers to excite them to riot. Mr. Hunt then stated the result of his interview with Colonel M'Mahon, and read his correspondence with Lord Sidmouth on the subject of their petition; and after a long and violent harangue, proposed some Resolutions, and a Petition to the House of Commons, which he wished should know that the whole people of England were petitioning for their rights. Would they not all put their names to the petition? (Yes, yes!"} But where were they to get parchment enough? He would subscribe his mite to buy parchment. He then moved his Resolutions, which were verbatim the same as those he was foiled in carrying at the Common Hall. Mr. Haydon seconded them. The Resolutions were then carried by acc'amation; as was also a Petition to Parliament for Reform, which was moved by Mr. Hunt, and seconded by Mr. Waddington. Mr. Hunt then moved that their fellow countryman in persecution, Lord Cochrane, should be desired to present the petition to the House of Commons. Mr. Green proposed that Sir F. Burdett, who had always been the friend of the people, should, in conjunction with Lord Cochrane, carry up the Petition. After a great deal of tumult, the amendment was carried, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Hunt, and the meeting was adjourned to the second Monday after the assembling of Parliament. Mr. Hunt then mounted his charger, and rode off to an hotel in Bouverie street, followed by a great number of the populace.

Wednesday, Dec. 11.

This evening the KING'S SCHOLARS at Westminster performed in the Dormitory the Eunuchus of Terence. Dramatis persong: Phædria, Mr. Wyld; Parmeno, Gater; Thais, Hutchinson; Gnatho, Bourne; Charea, Hall; Thraso, Short; Pythias, White; Chremes, Glyn; Dorias, Webb; Dorus, Henderson; Sanga, Gresley; Sophrona, Biscoe; Laches, Harrison. - The characters seemed very well distributed. Bourne, in Gnatho, shewed much talent; and his voice being very sonorous, he gave full effect to the self-gratifications of the parasite at the success of his art. Gater, as Parmeno, gave his character a shrewd and easy confidence, which became it well. White, as Pithias, is perhaps worthy of the highest praise, as the female characters seem naturally the most difficult to fill up. He gave us an idea, that the old custom of the English and other stages, by which female characters were filled up by men, must have been less absurd to appearance than it now seems in imagination. He delivered Pithias's threat, ut ego unguibus, &c. with a true female spirit. Charea, who, because he is said in the play to have been custos publice in Pirseo, was dressed as an officer of the Guards, was performed with a becoming ease of manner. The perform. ance of Thruso had much merit. It was, however, somewhat too much of the coxcomb, and too little of the swaggerer. On the whole the exhibition was very gratifying; and we do not think highly of their wisdom who censure these amusements as unbecoming; and we must think more lightly of their knowledge, who censure the plays of Terence as obscene. The spirit which runs through them is the very reverse of grossness; and the sentiment shows a refinement which can hardly be equalled in the effusions of the most polished societies of modern times. What can exceed the reproof of Thais to Chærea,

Si ego digna hac contumelia Sum maxume, at tu indignus qui faceres

tameu.

Indeed, the fault of Terence is on the side of refinement.

The Prologue, which was delivered by Mr. Bourne, contained an eulogium the late Dean of Westminster, and compliments to the present Dean, and Dr. Carey, lately the Head Master. The Epilogue was recited by Gnatho and Thruso. The soldier laments that the war is at an end; but the parasite advises him to offer him'self as Master of the Ceremonies at Bath, and gives a deseription of the company and amusements there, not omitting waltzing, in very good hexameters and penta meters. [See pp. 513, 14.]

We cannot but applaud the judgment which this year, as well as the last, dictated the selection of one of the Comedies of Terence; all of which are so universally admired for the purity, combined with the artless elegance and simplicity, of their diction. On this account it is deeply to be regretted, that no more than six of his Comedies are extant, out of the immense number which he is known to have written or translated down to the time of pened soon after his 35th year; as, after his death, which is supposed to have haphis leaving Rome, at that period of his animating idea must be formed of his life, he was never heard of.. What an splendid talent and unparalleled industry, of ten years (his first play being performed when it is known, that in the short space at Rome when he was only 25 years old), he translated 108 of the Comedies of Menander, besides writing an immense number with general success and admiration. Thursday, Dec. 12.

The Anniversary of the Noblemen and Gentlemen educated at the CHARTERHOUSE, was celebrated. After a Discourse delivered in the Chapel by the Rev. Wm. Russell, brother to the Head master, the company proceeded to the College-hall, where a Latin Oration was spoken by Mr. Henry Anthony Pye (who himself composed it for the occasion); it was an elegant and classic composition. The company adjourned to a sumptuous entertainment.
