When the CrlVidl'y at/sauced to within v„ ter a 0 yards of the hustings, t turned my head away. They were at the hustings, I think, in about halls* minute alit r Mr. Hunt stood, and, stretching out his arm. ertrd, " Ile firm.' His lace was then its the direetiori of the cavalry. 11 scat addressed to the whole crowd. Hy the Com I.—No application, to my knowledge, had been aide for an opet.h.g for the cavalry to pass !filmset'. I had ie. knowledge of the purpose for whirls the cavalry advenced. I have no feil2loll to suppose that Mr. limit bed. A large body of special constables were near the caval , y, out they remained stationai y. I did not see any resetetaistes accompanying the cavalry. 1 think Mr. Hunt said, " Give (hem there cheers; Be brut." This was before the cavalry were in the crowd. I think the time of giving /twee threw was before the cavalry even halted. 1 think there mere no directions given for cheers alter they lisd advanced into the mussel. The cheers were °sec before they began to advance. I did not remain on the hustings till Mr. Hunt was arrested. I left them when the cavalry had advanced ten yards into the crowd. By Mr. Hunt —1 got oft at the back of the hustings, and went through the people who wile near them, to the *listanee of tour golds, in the direction the furthest from Hr. liextuti's house. By that time 1 saw a 11A111111C1C1 011 a piebald horse, wheeling lug horse; having come round (11e 111111lifIRS, I was Within two yards of him. At that time the crowd, by one iiiipinse, ten back, and 1 wall carried with them to the distance of about 30 yards— there was a cart in the se., and being anxious to see what passed, I gut on it, and looked towards the litestiogs.. 1 law nu resistance. Mr. lieut.—Dist you sir any thing done by die military eatenleiesi to provuke reeistence Mr. Jostler Bayley eats,. that to ask what was done by the yeonmery would beta try theca*e by prejudice, mud nut by evidence. Mr. Hlllll did not persist in the question, but observed, that he emeadeitil be had a tight to ask queations as to tile coverict of the yeomatity, but would net press it, as his lordship had made a note of it. Mr. Justice Bayley sohl, he had taken a note of the eiul before,; and II a coos iction slimild take place, Mr. Aunt and the other defendants would have whatever be nefit neva dli.r fro ttt it. Witness continued.—l met with no impediment Mut from lie density of toe crowd. This was at the back and side. 'lke trumpeter was about two yards limn the hust ings whim I saw I wheel—he was between me and the It astings. He (the trumpetes ) had beers enabled to come round the Isirstings. there was no locking of arms he !dud or at the side of the hustings at that time. I speak only of the pert near the host lugs. I did not see a cordon of eight, ten, or fifteen deep, slit rounding the hustings. I think it was not possible fur any person on the hustings In see whether any two versos,. were locked aim in arils at the distance of haw yards (rum the hustings. I Was looking at my slim t band book, and not al the people. was WIC Of 111. first 14110 luuuulyd the binding'.

Home—Hirt you hear me say, when the cavalry arrived rm Never mind, they are only a few soldiers—very few, Aid we are a host against them?" THE NATIONAL. REGISTER. did not. By the Count.—ln your judgment, if any such words hail been used, must you have he.ud tit ' IVitiiess.—l imist have heard them. Hunt,—W hen 1 ati etched out my arms, and said, " lie firm," did 1 aecongtauy it Willi any Altitlide, so as to in duce the people to resi•t? illiess•- 11 saw no attitude; and had no impression that Mr. Hunt meant more than to induce them to stand. W hat 1 illiderstooil by it way, that he (Hunt) iiished to present them 6 running away. Mr. Se-aill . :t Olt:IN:lett to the witness giving hi. impres sion of the meaning of those words. That would be fur the Jury to determine. Mr. Justice Bay ley conceived, that the witness having stated what lie SAW Atilt heard, the defendant hail a tight to Loom the impression which the words or action de scribed produced on Min. Mi. Hunt.—My Lord, to save your Lordship any fur ther trouble on this point, 1 will wave any triestion as to impressions, it your Lordship will consent to erase from your notes the impi torsions of Mr. F. Phillips, Mr. Green, and oilier., as to the multitude. Examined by the Court.—The crowd did nothing when Mr. Hunt said be firm." He said so several times. The persons found the hustings exhibited no symptoms of running away.— No stic!«ir any oMet weapon was fitted up to attack the re Orrery. The people put themselves in no posture of resistance—no posture either or offence or defence. It was impossible for those near the cavalry to have rushed upon them, or struck them, it they had been so disposed. The words u-..al by Mr. Hunt did not appear to me to convey an exhortation to the crowd to put them selves in a posture of offence or defence. Mr. Hunt added nothing to the woids•• ha firm." Ile said nothing to the people blaming them for not putting themselves in a posture of offence or defence. Ex mined by Mr. Hunt... The witness said, you did not shake your fist at the cavalry, but stretched out your open band wits the palms down, to desire the people to be quiet and peaceable. Cross examined by Mr. Scarlet.-1 only saw the left hand, and did not knew what Mr.llunt had in his right. I was induced to examine the crowd more particularly. to see if they had sticks. front repots in the newspapers that the Radical Refoimers always came to their meetings armed Willi clubs and bludgeons. I arrived at Manchester only one hour behire the meeting. Did you know of any address of Mr. Hunt's to the inhabitants of Manchester. I do nut know what you mean. Did you see this address posted on the walls ? Here the learn ed Counsel was handing the paper to witness, when Mr. !hint objected. This paper was never yet given in evidence, or sworn to. Mr. karlett contended that it was, and that Mr. Ilunt had read it himself. Mr. Ilunt.—l read it as part of my speech. Mr. Scarlett—Then I shall read the part of it which you in • treduced into your speech. Then turning to the witness, the learned Counsel continued the exaniimition. Did you know of any address issued previously by Mr. Hunt. in a passage of which he advised the inhabitants of Manchester to come armed to the meeting with nothing but a self approving conscience ? I did not see it. Mr. Barrow (Counsel for Jones) here asked if witnes saw Jones at the hustings ? 1 did not. Dr. Healy asked witness if he saw him ? I saw Dr. Healy on the hustings, and he desired the people to be quiet, previous to the arrival of Mr. Hunt. I took notes of the banners, and of the inscriptions, before Mr. Hunt's at rival ; but I took no notes of what was said by any speaker previous to his arrival. Examined by the Court—l did not know for what purpose the cavalry were coming to the hustings. FROM TUESDAY :viaurs GAZETTE. Vl' lIITEIIALL, MAUCH 17.

Perhaps the annals of Horticulture have never exhibited a more extraordinary occurrence than that of the Bromelia Ananas, or Pine-apple Plant, from which Mr. Robert Buck, gardener to Lord Bagot, at Blithfield, Staffordshire, last year produced, of the seed of one fruit raised the preceding year, 725 pine plants, and from another 321 plants ; the former supposed to be the largest increase of the kind ever known in England. Friday, as Sir Godfrey Webster was travelling in his curriclo from Lewes eastward, on a canvassing expedition for Mr. Cavendish, he was, at Laughton Pound, assailed by a boulder (an election shot, we presume), hurled at him by a journeyman carpen ter, a sturdy fellow, hal thunk, but he missed his aim. The worthy Baronet, nevertheless, jumped from his carriage, and proceeded to give him a spe cimen of his skill in the fancy, which the carpen ter, after stripping and assuming the character and attitude of a regular pugilist, attempted to resist; but he soon found that he kid quite mistaken his man, and received a very severe drubbing, inflicted until the cowardly scoundrel loudly cried prowl, and begged hard for mercy, which was generously granted; but it is said that some days must elapse bethre he can recover from the effects of his merited chastisement. The nephew of Prince Poniatnwski, who threw himself into the river at the battle of Lipsic, at the blowing up of the bridge, and lost his life, is now on a visit to Oxford University, and has apartments at the Mitre Inn. SERIOUS RIOT AT BANBURY —On Friday last at the Election of the Hon. H. Legge, for Banbury, i n consequence of the usual distribution of beer and ribbons to the populace being discontinued, a riot took place, and the Hon. Member WM knocked down, and narrowly escaped with life. The Mayor and Corporation were also severely pelted with stones, and the windows of the Bank were broken. ' Peace was at length restored by the calling out of the Yeomanry, anti the apprehension of several of the ringleaders. A letter front Vienna, dated the :ith March, states, that frequent confrrences are held by the great. Ministers of Europe, at the !louse of Prince Me. ternich. The affairs of Spain at present engross all the attention of the Cabinet.
