eF— covered that a wound had been inflicted by a ball, in the head, perforating the brain, and penetrating through the left parietal bone. He was perfectly Mo tionless and dead. His death was evidently occa sioned by the ball passing into the brain, part of which was attached to the hair of his head. The ball was not extracted, and witness was not enabled to say whether it proceeded from a pistol or musket, or a blunderbuss. W. Twigg, residing in Somers'-town, who was passing the spot, on his way home from Chelsea, cor roborated the chief part of the evidence of the former witness, and in addition stated, that he saw three men at the parlour window of Mr. Robinson's house, one of wimp appeared to be a soldier, and wore a foraging cap ; he held a musket in his hand, which was also levelled. Witness believed that the shot which killed the deceased came from that musket.— At that time there was no riot or disturbance what even—G. Moss corroborated the foregoing evidence. A Messenger from Mr. Baker, the Magistrate, at this part of the investigation, brought in a letter to the Coroner, of which the following is a copy : " Public Office Marlhereugb•street, March 8, " Six, H alf-past Five, P.M. "Mr R.binson ' s servants have just called here, to state, that tie people in the public house (we presume the Marlbwough- Bead, in Marlborough-street) were so much irritated against them, that they could not stay there in safety, lest, by their be coming known, they should be exposed to the fury of the popu lac. ; they have therefore gone home, and are ready to depose whenever called upon, to all the circumstances which led to the unfortunate cleath.—i am, Sir, &c. " R. BAKER." Soon after this letter was read, a rrendeman en tered the room, and stated that he was deputed by three persons of respectability, who were on the spot at the time of the unfortunate catastrophe, and were anxious to come forward with their evidence. Being unacquainted, however, with the time and place of the Inquest, they were thus prevented. This person also stated, that one of the Gentlemen in question had had an interview with Lord Darnley in the course of the day, who expressed a wish to attend the In quest, if adjourned ; and who also said, that it was his intention to make a motion, as well upon the un fortunate event of the deceased, as upon the causes which led to his death. Upon these grounds, namely, the absence of the servants of Mr. Robinson, as well as the promised evidence of three other persons, he suggested to the Jury the propriety of adjourning.— This was instantly agreed to, and the Inquest was adjourned.

Shortly after the STAR was put to press yesterday, the unpleasant intelligence which we announced to have been received in the morning, was confirmed by an Official Bulletin from the War Department; for which we refer our Readers to the first page. The loss of so many valuable lives is ,much to be lamented. The gallant Sir E. PAKENIIAM, the first in command, and who fell on the assault, was brother of Lord LONGFORD and the Duchess of WELLING TON, and had served as Adjutant-General in the Pe ninsula. A younger brother of the same family, Captain PAKENHAM, of the Navy, perished in the SALDANIIA frigate, on the North coast of Ireland, two or three years since. General Glass, who was wounded at the same moment and died soon after, was highly distinguished by his gallantry. Both will be long lamented by the army. The last services of Genera Gums, in Europe, were in the Baltic, as Commander of the auxiliary British army sent to co operate with the Caowst PRINCE of SHEMIN, in the North of Eurnpe. The Official Bulletin brings down the detail of the operations only to the period of the re-embarkation of the troops. We have received letters from some of the Officers engaged in the Expedition, which enable us to add some farther particulars. The position occupied by the enemy in front of New Orleans was very strong, and well-mounted with artillery, which enabled them to annoy the Bri tish encampment with considerable effect. One part of the necessary operations which occu pied the time till the Bth of January, the day of at tack, was employed in cutting a canal (executed by fatigue parties of marines and seamen) to communi cate between the Bayale and the:Mississippi. The re-embarkation_ was eificted, by- thiollOsh of January, on which day itailed ; and ar the 3d of February reached the Spanish pan of Havannab, in Cuba, where they remained on the 6th, the date of our letters. But it was understood that they were to sail thence very soon, for the purpose of joining the marine battalions under Admiral COCHRANE, who was known to have proceeded against Savannah, in Georgia. A formidable expedition, intended for the Ameri. can shores, sailed from Cork on Wednesday se'nnigbt, under convoy of the BOYMZ e of 98 guns, but put back from contrary winds on Friday. It had been rumoured for some time at Cork, that the sailing of this expedition was delayed on account of the ex. pected arrival of the Ratification of Pease with the United States, bat this does not seem to have been t h e c a se. Tbis expedition consists of a squadron of , this .I‘th Thagooos, the 28th, 52d, list, 79th, and 91st Regiments of Foot, under the command of Major•Cleneial Jonsaronr.. In the first instance, it is said, they will proceed to Bermuda, whence they were to rowed as a reinforcement to the unfortunate ardi4 lo9 05444 Ode % vads: Generals _ • . :: , v _ PAKswarme and Goss. How far the recent dim. trolls circumstances in that quarter may alter the original destination of this force we are unable tots• A Hamburgh Mail arrived last night : the Ger-• man Papers convey little or no intelligence of inte rest. Some foolish students of Leipsic, probably under the influence of intoxication, lately sallied into the streets, vociferating If Long live the King," al luding, we suppose, to the Saxon Monarch. The Prussian Commander repressed these disorders in a mild and temperate manner, and no bloodshed en sued. The Hamburghers have not yet received pay ment of the money of which their Bank was robbed by DAVOUST, and they complain of the bad faith of the new French Government. If we recollect rightly, the complainers were directed to apply to DavousT personally for their money : in the mean time this Gentleman, who has left so many agreeable recollec tions behind him throughout Europe, has not 'been permitted to approach the person of his lawful Sove reign, and he was told that no change would take place in his favour, until he refunded the money which he had pocketed at Hamburgh. The rain continued to fall during the whole of yesterday, and, except at Mr. Robinson's, in Old Burlington-street, there was very little crowd in the streets. From three in the afternoon, however, de tachments of the 7th Huzzars continued parading through various parts of Westminster. About ten o'clock at night, the work of devas tation began again. A small party of the populace made a slight attack upon Lord Castlereagh's house, in St. James's-square, but they had only broken a few windows when the cavalry arrived, and they dispersed. They next proceeded to Mr. Ponsonby's house, No. 19, in Curzon -street, May-fair, with their numbers increasing on their way. On their ar rival at Mr. Ponsonby's, they presented a very for midable force. They instantly commenced a furious attack upon the house, demolished the windows, and broke the iron palisade in front. During this, some firing began from the inside of the house, through the door, while the mob were endeavouring to break it open. The door is much iujured by the bul lets which were fired through it, but we have not heard that any person was hurt. The house of Mr. QUINTIN DICK, next door to Mr. PONSONBY°S, is also considerably injured from the misdirection of the stone•throwers. In a few minutes the cavalry made their appearance, and the populace immediately dis persed in various directions, and soon afterwards formed a junction in GaosvzNoa.sQuAltE, where, after giving three cheers before the house of Sir dILBEAT HEATIICOTE, they assembled in front of the Earl of DERBY'S, and tore down the whole of the iron railing which eitcloses that side of the square. The approach of cavalry being announced, the mob again dispersed. In BAKER -STREET, No. 21, the house of JOHN MORRIS, Esq. one of the Directors of the East-India Company, was beiet by another division of the mob. Mr. MORRIS'S house is situated within three minutes' walk of the Hone Barracks in King -street; but be- fore the Life Guards were mounted, the mob had completely demolished his windows, and were off ; and about eleven o'clock, re-assembled, calling out " Bread, Bread I" opposite the house of Sir JOSEPH BANKS, in Soho-square, and demanding admission. When Sir Joszen was first apprized of the quality of his visitors, he desired his servants to admit them ; but they had already forced in through the doors an d windows. In a few minutes the parlour door was demolished, and boxes of valuable papers scattered in the street and area a whole angle of the railing of the square was also levelled with the ground before stilellrtiichment of the military arrived, when there was a general cry of " Off 1 off !" and the mob immediately aispersed. It is impos.ible even te con ceive a pretext which could have led any to attempt * an injury to the premises of Sir JOSEPH—a Gentle- Man whose life is devoted to the pursuiti of science. Had any damage been done to his valuable library it would have proved an irreparable injury to mankind. Late in the evening an immense mob passed down Catherine-street, and broke the windows of the Nora int Herald Printing-office, and thence proceeded to the house of Mr. Tomkins, in Serle-street,Lincoln's-Inu- Fieldt, vrtierre they broke several - wiuddws ; they Deja' attacked the house of Serjeant Best, in Lincoln's Inn square, and demolished the windows in front, pulled up the. iron railings, and threw them into the area, together with the stone steps at the door ; they alto broke some windows at the house of Mr. Peacock, in the same square, but being fired upon from the in side with blank cartridges, they went off towards Bedford-square...their object here, it appeared, was to find out the private house of Mr. H. Men:—No. 28 being pointed out to them, they proceeded to break the windows, but seeing bills for the house to let, they were, for some time, at a loss to find oat the real object, when a party of constables and several light horsemen appeared, and totally dispersed them. The populace were not so numerous about the House of Commons as on the preceding night ; but the crowd which had collected about Palace.yard was, occasionally, very noisy, and apparently in clined to aggression. A fellow, lifted on the shoul ders of others, harangued the mob, and urged them to proceed with their attacks. He was soon seized by the constables, who earned him to a room adjoining the Hoye o! ctwatwons, where on camination took ~ ._J___.__ place before three Magistrates. The only apology he had to offer was intoxication ; but, as he had been urging the mob to acts of violence / be was committed to prison. _ _ The troops assembled from slifferent parts of the country, for the protection of the Metropolis, received a considerable augmentation yesterday.—ln addition to the Household troops, the Ioth Dragoons oc cupy the King's Mews, &c. the 16th Dragoons, the Qecen's Riding House ; the 15th Dragoons are at Romford, the 7th Hussars at Putney, &c. and the 18th at Lambeth, &c. The sth Regiment of Foot is at Knightsbridge, and the South Lincoln Militia in the Tower. The Officers belonging to the several departments of the Commander in Chief's Staff re mained all last night at their respective Offices. Six pieces of artillery are planted in the Court-yard of Carlton House. A division of the East Middlesex Militia, which was on its march to town, to be disembodied, has been ordered to halt at Stafford until further orders. Lord DARNLEY, we understand, decidedly disap proves of the introduction of a military force into the houses of any individuals whateier, with a view to the supposed protection of their property from popu lar outrage. A military guard was sent by order of the Secretary of State to his Lordship's house, on Tuesday evening, who declined their assistance, at the same time protesting against the measure. The guard, however, remained at Lord DARNLEY'S until an application from his Lordship to the office of the Home Department procured their dismissal, with a written assurance to Earl DARNLEY that they had been directed to proceed there 41 from the circum stance of an outrage being expected to have been committed at his Lordship's house, and under the supposition that as other Gentlemen had applied for such protection it might be agreeable to his Lordship to be furnished with a similar one." Such lawless proceedings as we have detailed in our columns of this day, deserve the severest cen sure and reprobation ; nor can they be sufficiently deprecated by the friends of order—the best friend, of the very people who thus outrage the laws of their country. In the course of the debate last night, Lord CASTLEREAGH alluded to these disgraceful proceed. ings of the populace in proper terms of reprobation. His Lordship termed them what they truly are, the acts of a few wicked men ; and informcd the House that the Executive had provided proper means for the protection of the Representatives of the People, who were not to be overawed, or have their discussions in fluenced by the clamour of any persons whatever. —Mr. WHITBREAD concurred in 'the sentiments ex pressed by his Lordship—indeed every sensible man, in or out of Parliament, must concur in them ; but we hope that he was miitaken, when he stated that the proceedings of the mob had caused some • Members to vote for the Bill. Such votes, from such an excite ment, would be as reprehensible as voting for the Bill from intimidation would be. We cannot believe that on either side the votes have been influenced by the lawless acts of a few infatuated people—for they are indeed comparatively few who thus disturb the public peace. It would certainly tend much to repress the present disburbances if all Masters would keep their appren tices at home in the evenings, and every domestic servant. They owe this duty to the public, and we hope they will attend to it. The QUEEN and PRINCESSES did not come to town yesterday, as was expected. It was known at a late hour on Tuesday, in Lcndon, to her Royal Atten. dams. It was said her Majesty being afflicted with a cold was the cause. WINDSOR, MARCH S.—Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, the Royal Horse Guards, quartered in the Cavalry Barracks, marched for Kensington Barracks, to be near London. Those that lay at Maidenhead, and in that neighbourhood, marched into Spittle Bar racks, Windsor. This morning, at five O'clock, the Sib regiment marched from the foot barracks for London. The rain falling very heavily at the time, they were conveyed in eight large waggons, thirty in each. The officers went in post-daises. We are now in a state not known here before, not having any in fantry now to mount guard, except drummers, fifers, and the hand. The Duke of YORK transacted military business yesterday, with the PRINCX REWINT, at Carlton-house, for a considerable time. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the Fo reign Office, after the receipt of the dispatches from America, which did not break up till past six o'clock. The SMARM'S List Parliamentary Levee will be on Saturday next. The Oratorios at Drury-Lane and Covent Garden were very attractive last night. At the former house some discontent was occasioned, in consequence of Mr. BELLAMY having been detained a few minutes beyond his time at the Concert, Hanover-square, but his appearance soon afforded perfect satisfaction, and the entertainment went off with eclat. SPowriNG.—elltetielora and Prime ifiaister are both gone into training, against their match over the course, at York. The odds, however, still continue in favour of the mare. A letter from Vienna, dated Feb. 22, says—" The Emperor is not yet perfectly recovered. He has given a private audience, however, which was an nounced for the 17th. The Duke of Wellington, theBwiss Deputies, and about twenty other persons of distinction only were admitted. The Duke was accompanied by Lord Stewart. The Emperor of Russia, it is said, has given orders for his suite to be in readiness to set out at a moment's notice. The prices of the frand hotels fell. Every thing indicates the approaching end of Congress. The house of Fries has 60,000 ducats in gold ready fora grand Sovereign, wbo is about to kayo ?1474L INTALLIGENCE. EVEN, MARCH 6.

This vessel wi• put Mt° F4l. mouth, by contrary winde, **hence she sailed a ICW days ago. Between 3even and eight o'clock last Fri. day night, in a thick fog, she ran on the Hats and Barrels Rocks, near the Smalls, when, after strikin7 hard for a short tim', her masts went by the board, and she soon after fell over and foundered. The crew had but just time to get out the boat, vi.::icli was in. gently upset by a heavy sea, and, melanchily to re. late, the Master and six of the crew were drowaed. The Mate, and John Ball, a boy, belonging to said vessel, clung to the bottom of the boat, from wh:11 perilous situation they were released by the exertions of Captain Morgan, of the Friends, of C arnarvtn, which passed near the wreck soon after the accident, and who landed them at Tenby.

The ship York, BOWDEN Master, from Jamaica, came On shore this morning, near this port, about five o'clock ; the Master, Mate, elcveli of the sea men, and one passenger, are drowned—ten have been saved. The ship is entirely to pieces; and the cargo, consisting of sugar, coffee, logwood, rum, &c. float ing along the coast. The sugar will be all lost, and it is feared very little of the other property will be saved; at present, twenty casks of rum are saved.— The second mate, CHARLES Wuxuesom, and the gun. ner, ate saved. A Court of Directors was yesterday held at the East India House, when the following Commanders took leave, previous to departing for their respective destinations. viz.—Captain GRAHAM, of the William Pitt ; Captain BALSTON, of the Princess Amelii; Captain Surrow, of the Walmer Castle ; Captain WARD, of the Marquis Wellington ; Capt.
