ADJOURNED INQUEST.—Twerns PAT. • • Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock the inquiry was resumeck. Mr. Carruthers was led into Court in a very infirm state, and gave evidence to the following effect :—He knew of so extraordinary weight or tackling being at. cached to the roof. Whets Blamier told he was afraid, he knew nothing of what was going forward up stairs. He sent for Sha w, who declared there was no danger; but he doubted this, and ordered supporters to be put' to the flies from the very foundation ; which, however, was not done that evening. Next morning he saw Shaw at the Theatre, who again assured him there was no danger, and that his wife was in the flies pre: paring canvass. He never approved of the iron roof, but Mr. Whitwell told him it was very strong, and would bear any thing; in consequence of which he entirely left it to Mr. Whitwell. He (the witness) disapproved kf the removal of the angle ties to build the geometrical staircase; but still they were removed, and when the fatal accident happened the wall fell in wards, destroyed those very stairs, and killed Pardy and Miles, who were then at work. The angle ties were removed by order of Mr. Whitwell. The witness wished to have a brick pier for supporting the proscenium posts in part removed, but ordered Shaw to speak to Mr. Whitwell before he touched it, considering every thing was left with that Gentleman. About the 26th Jan. Mr. Maurice told him he had heard from Mr. Barlow that there were very heavy weights appended to the roof. He advised him to write to the manufac turer. He also requested him to speak to Mr. Whitwell about it, saying be should leave the business to them entirely. Mr. W. once said to him when there on other business, you are hanging weights to the roof. He (Mr. C.) said he would speak to Shaw and Mr. Maurice about it ; they, he supposed, knew what they were doing, but he could have nothing to do with the iron roof. Had he known of what happened to the fly on Monday night, he should have given public notice of it, and prevented the Theatre from being opened again ; that was, however, all kept from him. In his opinion, it was a fancy building, and not built with the proper strength. Mr. Pulsford told him, the second day .fter the accident, that he had told Mr. Whitwell and Mr. Maurice of the' danger existing in the roof some time before. He expressed astonishment at its not having been also told to him. The an. swer was, that he had been desired, whatever he thought to ,say nothing about it at present. When it was r esolved that an iron roof should be fixed o:the Theatre,4se and Mr. Maurice left the ordering and superintending' °fit solely to Mr. Whitwell, and did not at 'all interkre. He never gave any directions to counter-order 'certain traits girders ordered of Mr. Arding. [Mr. PifiLan here said, it had been distinctly sworn that he - (Mr. Carru th ers) had given such counter orders.] *Carruthers, iii continuation:—l never did, on my saleMb - trath. I did not know they were ever ordered, nor did I know what they were at the time. Examined 'by Mr. HILL—The day before the acci dent was thd first time he heard of any clinger. He considered that if the roof was warped, and the flies had sank fn inches, there must be great danger. He' i did not ea &the roof himself, nor did he then send to Mr. Whit' 'ell - or Mr. Barlow. He did not tell 'the actors on Thursday morning of what he had heard, be cause he was In some measure relieved by the assertion of Shawilisailii'wife was in the flies sewing canvass. He never retairested Mr. Whitwell to superintend the stage or its machinery, bat did request him, to look to the strength of 45e,ffies and the shop floor. °Allis . 9 4 1 h, tri he ditit ilia fdt. Whittvell 'was finding fault will) tun when *hel . 434:oei *were hanging weights to the roof. Consideridit Who Mr. Whitwell's duty to super intend the strength Jibe house; did not express his surprise that Mr. Whitman should come to him on the subject; though, In iiii6pinion, that Gentleman ought to have preventedliiii:it had been improper ; does not recollect Mr. White/dill saying, if other people have given advice, I suppose it is tio nm my saying anything ; knowing that Mr. Barlow had protested against the weights be ng hung to the roof, and that Mr. Maurice had written to Bristol on the subject; yet I did not understand,when Mr. Whitwell spoke to me on the subject, that he meant weights were hung improperly to the roof ; I did not un derstand him to say there was any thing im proper; under stood from Mr. M. that dead weights might be hung to the roof, and desired that Gentleman to communicate with Mr.W. Neier said, to his knowledge, on hearing the first letter from Barlow read, " Then Mr. Whitwell has deceived us, and has ordered a root which will not sup port the weighiTtrOided," nor any words to that effect. Although he eltrap considered the roof was constructed to bear the fliefind shops, yet he expressed no surprise at hearing from. Mr. Barlow's letter that such was never contenrplaied, nor'did he remonstrate with Mr. Whitwell on the subject, or speak to him at all. Such weights, whatever they wele, had been hung a week or ten days before the receipt of the letter, and he consi dered Mr. Whitwell must be aware of it. Mr.Clat kson'Stanfield,. Artist, of Drury-lane Theatre. —Mr. Whitwell called on him at Drury lane Theatre several times, and was shown the whole of the interior of the stage department. Witness thinks the Bruns wick Theatre was not commenced when he first saw Mr. Whitwell. All the machinery, flies, and workshops, of Drury-lane Theatre, are necessarily suspended from the roof, with the addition of stays reaching from the proscenium posts to the back of the stage. The Old ttoyaltyTheatre was similarly constructed, to his know ledge. Witness was at the Brunswick Theatre on Mon day night, when the flies gave. He saw Mr. Whitwell, and asked him if he was not alarmed ? Mr. Whitwell said " No; I have nothing to do with that, at any rate." He also told me they had got it up again with tackle. —This was the first time I heard that Mr. Whitwell was not the sole conductor of the whole of the interior of the Theatre. By Mr. HlLL—Always considered Mr. Whitwell had the superintendence of the stage department, from the questions he asked when at Drury-lane Theatre ; but was never positively told so by that Gentleman— Mr. Carruthers had said so. By Mr. PuLun—l- do not think Mr. Whitwell ever called on me after the iron roof was put on. Mr. HILL here stated, that be wished to ,ask Mr. Whitwell a few questions relative to the conversations stated to have taken place between him and Mr. Car-. lathers. Mr. Redman Whit% ell re-examined—lt was men tioned s., me, and, as I believe, understood by Messrs. Carruthers and Maurice, that at the time the iron roof was agreed on, that a particular provision would be necessary for the suspension of the stage machi nery, and the whole of that department, independent of, and totally distinct from, the roof. There is not the least difficulty in supporting all this department i w ithout touching the roof or e stage, or in any wise interfering with the working of the scenery.— On my solemn oath, Mr. Carruthers never made use of the words, that be looked to me for the strength of 4 the building, on the occasion of our conversation with :~,- respect to hanging weights to the roof, not aay words to that effect. Mr. John Sylvester was present at the conversation. Mr. Carruthers never, directly or inch• rectly, told me he looked to me for the strength of the stage department. From the course of the conversation !which took place when I spoke to Mr. Maurice and Mr. Carruthers on the subject of hanging weights to tbd roof, it is totally impossible that Mr. Carruthers could be unaware that I was coma laining of such weights. The inquiry then adjourned ; the CORONER observing, that as the depositions would now be sent to Messrs. Nash and Smirke, he could not at present name a day for their next attendance, but they should be regularly summoned. After some discussion, next Thursday was appointed, at nine in the morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Mattel 20.. There has not beeri any material alteration in the odds ibong Merchant since Monday, but there is still an inclination manifested to back him. It is pretty certain that be is ill of the distemper, bed aides having swelled legs—hopes are entertained that he will come round before the day, but we do not think this is by any means sure.

Last night, about ten o'clock, a lire broke out in the house of Mr. LEVY, a fishmonger, in Russell -court, Drury-lane. The fire, it is supposed, first originated in the kitchen flue. The speedy arrival of the engines, and the exertions of the firemen, confined the fire to the house in which it broke out, and in a short time sub dued it, but not till the lower part of the premises was destroyed. WESTERN SHIP CANAL COMPANY.—A Meeting of the Subscribers to the plan for cutting a Canal to ctn. nect the English and Bristol Channels,was held yesterday at the City of London Coffee house, Ludgate-hill, to consider the steps necessary to be adopted to obtain in demnification for the losses they have sustained by the original plan not having been carried into effect by the Directors. Mr. BOOTH was called to the chair.
