ADJOURNED INQUEST ON R. HONEY. SEVENTH DAY, AUGUST 27. The Coroner's Jury assembled put suant to adjourn ment, at two o'clock this day, at the New Inn, in the Edgeware•road. Mr. ADOLPHUS, the Barrister, and Mr. HANSOX, jun. appeared for the Life Guards. The Foreman intimated that it would be necessary to bring forward the trumpeter of the II troop, to which Lieutenant Gore belonged. His name he un derstood to be Farmer. The CORONER immediately issued his summons for that purpose. The Foreman next pointed out the propriety of summoning Captain Oakes, and Lieutenants Hall, Story, Terry, and Gore. Mr. Blakie, a Juror.—l should be glad to know for whom you attend, Mr. Adolphus? Mr. ADOLPHUS.—I appear for the First Regiment of Life Guards, or any portion of them who may be implicated in this affair. Mr. Blakie said, if solicitors and lawyers were suf fered to attend this Court on the part of persons who might he implicated, the Inquest would probably be procrastinated to a most unreasonable length. In his opinion, the Coroner alone had a right to shape the examination of the witnesses ; and if anything-were asked, the answer to which was likely to criminate the party under examination, it was the duty of the presiding officer to interfere. Bat hen a professional gentleman interfered with the Jury, he arrogated to himself a power which he did not legally possess. Mr. ADOLPHIJS said, when he did anything irre gular, the Coroner would, of course, set him right, without the interference of any other individual. He would, however, maintain, that he had a right to act as Counsel in that Court; but since the subject had been broached, he would take leave to say that he protested, on the part of the persons for whom he appeared, against the interference of a Magistrate of the County—an officer of rank superior to that of the Coroner—who acted, day after day, as an avowed advocate; who, if the papers placed in his hands were correct, examined the witnesses out of doors, and who made surmises and observations which were cal culated to lead the Jury to come to a particular ver dict, when it was notorious to all persons that if a verdict of the description to which he had alluded were returned, it would be the duty of that officer to ,strike the. Jury who were afterwards to determine whether the verdict of the Inquest was well or ill founded. It was, perhaps, late in the day for him to state this. As the evil had already been done, it would be as well to let it go on to the end. He did not mean to suggest any alteration in the course of proceeding ; bat, as anticipatory of what might occur in another place hereafter, he protested against the observations of Mr. Waithman, the Sheriff of the county of Middlesex, on this occasion. Mr. WArrnsfasr said, the state of his health would not allow him now to enter into any competition with the worthy Gentleman who had just addressed the Court, even if he could do so on other occasions; but he would say, that this was one of the most unwar ranted and uncalled for attacks that had been ever made on him before a body of respectable Gentle men. He felt this the more particularly, when he recollected that the worthy Gentleman was not pre sent on any former day, and could, in fact, know nothing of what had taken place. What he had been pleased to say was an imputation on him (Mr. W.), on the Coroner, and on an enlightened Jury. Mr. Brown.—lt is an imputation on the whole .of us. It is a gross insult. Mr. WAITHNIAN.—If he had conducted himself improperly, it would have been for the Coroner to have corrected him. He knew that on certain occa sions, when he conceived the Jury to have been in sulted—when, for instance, they were refused ad mission to the Barracks—he had expressed himself warmly. But that was momentary; and he would appeal to the Coroner and to the Jury, whether he had conducted himself like an advocate, whether he had shewn an improper spirit, or had, in any respect, behaved himself in an ungentlemanlike manner? With respect to what the worthy Gentleman had said relative to his (Mr. Waithman's) situation else where, he was wrong. The worthy Gentleman ap peared here for nobody. He (Mr. Waithman) knew not of two parties in this case. This was an inqui sition. They were sitting in a court of inquiry, and it was the duty of every man who knew anything of the transaction to come forward in aid of the inves tigation. He knew nothing whatsoever of the par ties ; and it might be proper for him to observe, that this was the seventh day of the sitting of the Jury, and that on the third day he declared he would not call another witness, which promise he had strictly adhered to. lie had not kept even a single memo randum, or note, or a bit of paper, relative to the proceedings. He had not conducted himself like an advocate ; and he would presently state to the Coro ner how he became connected with the business. As to the objection founded on his being Sheriff of Mid dlesex, it appeared to him that the worthy Gentleman was mistaken in the natu• e of the office, when he ob served that, as Sheriff, he was a Magistrate. The worthy Gentleman ought to know that being Sheriff he could not act as a Magistrate. Mr. ADOLPHus here interrupted Mr. Waithman,, for the purpose of explanation. Mr. WAITHMAN.—You must not interrupt me, Sir. Brown.-1 pretest ag ainst this interruption. You, Mr. Adolphus, have ha d a fair hearing. • Mr. WAITIIMAN—If the doctrine which the wll.- thy Gentleman broached were valid—a doctrine, by the way, which he appeared to have picked up from a Learned Doctor, the Editor of a Newspaper (for ! .no other person would be foolish enough to assert it), it would go to this, that if a Sheriff had a brother or a son killed, he could not come forward to assist in the inquity as. to the cause of his relatives death. According to his doctrine, a Sheriff could bring no action, neither could any action be maintain - Lai against r r. F. him, because he was supposed to have the striking of the Jury. But, in fact, he had no more to do with the striking of the Jury than the Coroner had. If it were otherwise, the people of this country would be in a most lamentable situation, for they would be placed at the mercy of the Sheriff. That Officer had nothing to do with the Jury hut to procure from the Headboroughs and Constables lists of persons who were eligible to serve, which he laid before the Ma gistrates, by whom the Jury were struck. The wor thy Gentleman, had gone on to make another most unqualified, and, he would add, most unfounded as sertion. lie did not think that his conduct would have been improper even if he had examined wit nesses before they came into that room ; but the fact was, that he had not three minutes conversation with any of the witnesses who had been examined. When he had a list consisting of 100 witnesses, he found that many of them could only speak to the death of the other man, and therefore he sent them away, be cause he would not unnecessarily consume the time of the Jury. All he had done was to inquire who were the criminal parties --to examine whether the man came by Iris death fairly or unfairly; and in the progress of the investigation, he had endeavoured to chew that the individual whose life had been taken away was a quiet and peaceable man; but whenever the examination took another turn, when it pointed at the identification of parties, he took no step what. , ever. Having said thus much, he hoped his conduct would stand fair with the Jury and with the Public. He owed this explanation to himself, as filling a high situation ; for it was more important that the charac ter of the office to which his fellow-citizens had elected him should be preserved inviolate, than that he, as an individual, should notice what had been said. Mr. ADOLPHUS said, when he used the word -4 Ma ' gistrate," he could not be supposed to be so ignorant as to confound it with "Justice of the Peace:" every person who held a situation similar to that of Sheriff, was a Magistrate, though not a Justice of the Peace. As to his deriving his information from the Editors of Newspapers, it was the mere assertion, of the Gen tleman who made it, and demanded no observation. The Foreman.—l again suggest the necessity of directing summonses to Captain Oakes and the four Lieutenants whom I have mentioned. Mr. Brown.—lt is very proper. Whatever other Gentlemen's opinions may be, they are nothing at all to us. However skilled in the law they may be, it is not for them, but for us, to decide. The Foreman.—We are not to be alarmed by such interference. Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Do I look alarming? The Foreman.—l do not understand why Mr. Adolphus should take notice of a conversation be tween Jurymen. .Mr. ADOLPHUS.—If observations are so made that I cannot be mistaken in their application, I must-no tice them. I will appeal to the Gentleman himself, whether I was not alluded to. Gentlemen cannot suppose that Ihave left my understanding at home. Mr. Spicer.--I am sure the Learned Gentleman does not mean to offend any person. Mr. Adolphus can have no desire to insult us. Mr. Brown.—Neither do we mean to insult any person ; but we must perform our duty. Mr. WAITHMAN said he had forgotten one point. He wished to state how he happened to conic before the Jury at all, and it was material that Gentlemen should knew it. As he was walking westward with a friend on the evening after the funeral, he saw two or three persons talking together. Some of the ex pressions that were used attracted the notice of his friend, who, being more curious than he was, went to the parties, arid asked some explanation. He found that a statement was made by an individual, who was one of the most material witnesses eramined before the Coroner. Ile and his friend immediately took a coach and proceeded to the house where the body lay, for the purpose of giving the mari's name to the summoning officer. He (Mr. Waithman) went the next day, to see whether the evidence of the in dividual was in reality so important as it at first ap peared to be, and then the brother of the deceased requested him (Mr. Waithman) to put such questions to the witnesses as were necessary. With that re quest he complied, and such was the history of the whole affair. The Foreman.--Perhaps it would be inconvenient for the Gentlemen I have named to attend, if sum moned to come forward this day. It would there fore be better to summon them for to-morrow ; the Court could, for that purpose, adjourn at its rising till to-morrow. The CORONER.—Sir Robert Baker is in attendance. He wishes to be examined first. Let him therefore be called in. Sir Robert Baker having been sworn, deposed as follows :—I reside in Beiners-strect. I joined the Procession on the 14th instant at Kensington. It was proposed that the Procession should move along Church-lane to the Gravel-pits, thence by the Ty-. burn-road, the Edgewarc-road, and the Neworoad. It did not pursue that line. The c4.via:ion was oc casioned by obstructions which were placed at the end of Church-lane, Kensington. I proceeded on to the Park-gate at Kensington, considering myself at liberty to take the nearest route to that which I have described; in case of any turnip s, that were in tended to be taken, being obstructed. •W hen we got to the Park-gate, at Kensington, a party of the Life Guards came out a f Cie Park, in aid of the Civil Power. I rode into the Par k, with the intention that the Procession sh,uld follow me, and the gates were immediately closed by the mob. A few Constables who were there endeavoured to open them, but they were immediately overpowered, and the gates were amain shirt. Some of the Life Guards then attempted to open them, and the mob instantly began to pelt then with stones and mud. After a conflict which Listed for a considerable time, I succeeded in getting back through the gate with my horse.

The restrictions on the Press in Prussia are of the most rigid and arbitrary nature. The Censors of the other German States are regarded as too indulgent by the Prussian Government, and all German books published out of Prussia undergo a fresh exivoina tion at Berlin. It even appears from the foreign Pa pers that Censors are appointed to inspect the works of particular booksellers. Thus, in a letter dated Berlin, August 9, it is said—" The special Censor ship to be exercised over the works published by M. Brockhaus, of Leipsic, which may be imported into Prussia, is confided to M. Heydebieck, Superior President of the Province of Brandetiburgh. From him, in future, will emanate all the ordinances for the whole monarchy relative to M. Brockhaus's pub lications. The Censorship on M. Brockhaus's books is not confined to political works, pamphlets, and pe riodical writings, but extends to publications strictly scientific and literary. The special Sub-Censors are, for theology, philology, and pedagogy, M. Ritschell, Counsellor of the Consistory ; for medicine, rural economy, and the veterinary art, M. Karnen, Coun sellor of the College of Medicine; for jurisprudence, M. Grano, Counsellor of Regency ; for belles lettres, M. Langbein; for public law, M. Jouff►oy, Counsel lor of Legation." A private letter from Naples, dated August 4, says, " The Prince of Canosa has been removed from his place; the Duke of Ascoli has been appointed in his stead, the King having first agreed to certain propo sitions made by the Duke. All the heads of the Po lice have been changed, and the persons appointed, particularly the three Directors in Chief, are persons highly esteemed in the kingdom. A duel took place a few days since between his Highness the Prince of W—, in the Austrian army, and a Russian Officer, who was travelling in Italy. The quarrel was owing half to love, and half to a national dispute (according to the authority most to be depended upon); the Rus sian, however, was severely wounded, and is still con fined; the Prince hasleft the kingdom. Thurs day last (August 2), about three hours after midnight, we felt a smart shock of an earthquake in this City ; li I, however, learn that the force of the convulsion was most forcibly felt at Castellamare and the promon tory that runs beyond Sorrento. I have just received an account from an English friend, who is staying for the bathing season at a Monastery in Sorrento, of the consternation it occasioned among the brethren. The Apstrian Regiment Lichtenstein, arrived from Lombardy a few days ago, and it is said the Regi ment Alexander will depart shortly."
