The most fastidious cynic amongst you mast allow gratitude is a cheap though valuable commodity, and a wen: of it the most Infamous addition that can possibly . be tack'd to the Dame of man ; and when the worst part of the Irish history may Ire placed under a late reign, how greatshould the'people's devotion be to that King whose presence was , the tocsin of peace and of t al e ' v ,atl w hose conduct duringhis stay among his 1 rish ',. s hjects• was more that of a kind hearted landlord amon g a gratefi:l tenantry, than a monarch who sup posed himself made of a superior clay to the least man in his dotuiuions.

In expectation of his Majesty's arrival at Plythouth, several vessels sailed from that harbour on Friday to meet the Royal squadron; the guns bare been remounted on the Breakwater, to announce his Ma- jeety's approach by a Royal salute ; and moorings were laid down in the Sound for the Royal Yacht. Pkparations have been also made at Portsmouth, in expectation of his Majesty's arrival at that port. The Marquess of Londonderry passed through Bar nardcastle on Wednesday last, on his way to Wyn yard, the seat of Lord Stewart.

At half past ten the names of the Jury were called over. and all being present, Mr. Alremi (the forgone). rerritstid that the Jury might be allowed to retire . for it tisane , of an boor before they proceeded t o busman: Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Before the Jury retire] tlink it as cesiaiYto advert to lb observation which WA. Made one day, when I was not present, respecting COL Cavendish. Some remark having-been made with regard to the sup-. posed part which Col. Cavendish took in the transac tion of the 14th, Mr. Meson answered,, that dada, the' whole of that day Col. Cavendish was not out of the bar racks. I now wish to state that Mr. Henson was mis taken in that particular, as indeed it afterwards appear ed from the evidence of the Culonellimself, because be said, during his examination, that he had been both ;t Cumberland-gate and Hyde-park-corner. But in case that mistake should have left any impression on the ntinda of the Jury, or in case it should have anticipated or prevented any questions which they might otherwise have been inclined to put.. I am authorised to say, that Col. Cavendish is perfectly ready to- attend here to be examined again to-dsy, and to answer any question which any gentleman of the .1 nay may feel) detiroas of putting. The CORONER observed that he had struck oat the observation of Mr. Henson, as be had not considered It of consequence. Mr. ADOLPIIE3.-1 do net apprehend that any thing can arise out of it, hut I wish to give the Jury an op portunity of a further examination if they should feel so disposed. ' The Jury declined coming to any decision upon the subject until after their rehire.' They then retired for a quarter of an hour. At eleven o'clock the Jury entered the room, and. again answered to their names. Mr. Green observed, that during their absence the Jury bad consulted together respecting the propriety of calling any more witnesses, and they were now de sirous of having further evidence as to some particular points. The Coroner—l thought that it had been under stood that no more witnesses should be called. Mr. Blakie—No, we did not pledge ourselves not to call further evidence. The fact, Sir, is this, we have received many letters front different individuals, stating that they can give us very important information, and we should not be doing our duty, in our own opinion, were we to come to a conclusion without hearing every thing that may tend to assist inquiry. We have no disposition to procrastinate the business. but we have an important duty to fulfil, and we should not discharge it were we to give a verdict whilst any evi dence remains to be taken. Coaosan.—l certainly thought that it had been un derstood that no more witnesses were to be called. Mr. Gall.—Thus far it was understood that the Jury might call evidence after 3lr. Adolphus if they thought proper to do so. CORONER.—Do you wish to craniums Col. Cnveodish, he has been waiting some time, and if you wish to ask him any questions it is desirable that it should nos► be don& It was agreed that Colonel Cavendish should not Is called. Gordon Gunn, sworn.-1 live at No.. It Charlton street, Fitsroy-square. I am a tailor by trade. I was present at the procession at the Queen's funeral. I was not absent from the state carriages five minutes during the whole of the day. I was sitting on the front spring of the carriage. As we came from Hyde-park-corner to Cumberland-gate, the first thing that I saw was two Life-gtiardsmen, ordered by a sergeant, to clear Cumber land-gate. According to his orders they went to the Fate, and as they rode up knocked over several people. lien cries of and " murderers" were..abouted out directly. When the procession came up to the gate; it was stopped about four minutes. There the affray began about opening the gate, and 1 saw two Police o ffi cers with their batons endeavouring to open the gate. They did open it. A party oi l Life Guardsmen came riding up Park-lane.—Then the Life Guardsmen were riding about keeping the' crowd from the gate: The gate was thoroughly opened and the procession came through. The procession halted about sixteen yards through the gate. When halted, a shower of stones and brickbats came from the top of Ox ford-street towards the proceision. Then I saw an (Sfficer of the Life Guards ride up as fast as he could and fire.' I saw the deceased fall when he fired: Before he rode past I got off the state carriage, and seeing the de- ceased fall another shower of stones came from Tyburn turnpike ; they came in such quantities that it was im possible to tell exactly from what quarter they came.; Then the Life Guardsmen formed a sort of circle in the street. After forming a circle, there was an officer came, and gai-e them the word of command, when they all sheathed their swords, and every man as far I saw, took his pistols and loaded them. They all rode off! towards Edge Ware-road, except two men and a sergeant ; he had stripes on his arm, but I do not know whether he was a sergeant or There were some stones eying, and the three soldiers left there loaded their pistols and rode towards Ox-' ford -street, and one of them fired. Then the cries were to go on with the procession. Accordingly they did. Then a party of the Life Giardsoein that was behind, and the Oxford Bluei came up. s When the Blues came up they all rode away together as fast as they could down. Edgeware-road. The procession came on down Edgeware4oad, and at the first or de second turning to the tight the Guards were all down that street. I saw no more Life Guardsmen after wards on that day. . . The CORONER obseitedi that there seemed to be little in the evidence Of this witness, which could throw any fresh light on the subject. Examined by Mr. Brown.—The State coachwas in front of the hearse after it had got through the gate., I do not know whether the officer whom saw fire came through the Park with the detachment: That was the first firing that I heard. I saw the decal-tied fall. He was very near the Edgwate-road towards the toll-gate, on the left hand side towards the Park. Mr. Brown observed, that from this answer,. it Was evident that the witness knew nothing of the teeth of Honey, IS it mutt have been Francis wbona-be bad seea:filL , B a o itwor.—At the precise time when the pittdidas g glad, ilte mob were not throwing stones. per.

The procession went at a smart trot to Grosvenor-gate. The int stones that I saw were thrown from the, top of the Porter'S house at Cinnberland-gate.

Henry Charles Ellesgood, sworn.—l live in Park street, and adi a surgeon by profession. On the day of the Queen's funeral, I was at Lord Bagot's win dow, at the balcony. I was there for an hour before the hearse came ; I saw the twelve soldiers with the officer come to Cumberland-gate, where they remained for some time before the arrival of the hearse; on the procession coming up, the soldiers formed within the Park. The first thing I saw afterwards was one of the Life Guardsmen leading a horse by the bridle through the gate, and the man on the horse made great resistance. At this time I saw one of the Life Guards strike the man with the flat part of his sword. Having► got through, the gates were im mediately shat. It was at this time that the throwing of stones commenced at Cumberland-gate. I had seen stones thrown before in the Park. The contention about the gate was very great, and several people were struck both by soldiers and constables. The. gates being opened, the remaining ten soldiers passed into Oxford -street, and began to clear the street.— The throwing of stones at this time was dangerous in the extreme. I saw a great part of the soldiers receive very severe blows, more particularly • the officer, against whom the chief fury seemed to be directed. The street being somewhat cleared the first coach passed. On the hearse approaching Cumber land-gate the right hand leading horse was seized by a stranger immediately at the gate, and when four of the o six horses were out of the Park their heads were turned towards St. Giles. lat this time particularly noticea a man with a Bag, who seemed highly delight jitjl at basing he course of the pesteession changed, and displayed Iris delight by shaking and waving the. flags —The soldiers being at this time it Tyburn gate, returned down Oxfortt-street to the hearse, and turned the horses beads in the direction of Tyburn-gate, the soldiers falling off under Lord Begot's window. The pelting of stones at this time was ex tremely great, one soldier having his hat knocked off by a brickbat. 1 saw the men receive many blows. The liorses of the hearse, and the people who attended it, were also struck. The hearse having got past the gate with a body'of soldiers of the Blues. Ths Life Guards who had formed under Lord flagot's window, retired to Tyburn-gate. There was at this time a cessation for a few minutes in the throwing of stones. PROCLAMATION TO THE EUROPEAN SPANIARDS IN COLUMBIA. FROM THE JAMAICA COIMANTI TO TUC 28TH or JULY. Spaniards—You are informed by your Commander- In-chief that we shun peace, that we have violated the armistice, and that we hate von. Your Commander is wrong ; it is the Royalist Government who thirsts for war; we have offered the olive branch through our deputy in London, under a federal treaty, and the Duke of Frias, by order of the Spanish Cabinet, replied that it is absolutely inadmissible. Spaniards—ls it not your Government who demands our submission at the expense of your blood ? Is it not your King who spurns you by hurrying you into an inevitable sacrifice ? The Government of Columbia has not infringed the armistice, except in quartering its troops within the City when it was impossible to keep them alive beyond its environs. In this, and in this only, we hate overstepped the boundaries of the treaty, while in many instances we have been harrassed without any indemnification for the offence. Spaniards—ln spite of the severe pangs brought upon us by your Government; we shall most strictly observe the treaty respecting the regulations of the war. A capital punishment will be inflicted on who soever attempts to ►iolate it; and you shall be respected even in the exceie of your thirst for blood. You come to slaughter us and we pardon you. You have con verted your afflicted country into a barien ware, and oar most ardent wishes are to restore you to your own. BOLIVAR. Liberatitig Heid-Quarters, Berlins. Nth April.

"Mr..AooLelus.-LI am quite prepared to ripeet Such observations as these 1 have now heard ripen 'whatever, witnesses f may call.

" A Attros.kMr. Brown, tee tbirik,)—Mr. Adolphus, you ought te be 'shamed of yourself—you iliould re member that you have already been turned out of society .for your ill manners.

" Mr. alakie.—Brother Jurymen, I am sorry that von should take any notice of any thing that falls from Mr. Adolphus. I thought we had seen enough of the nature of the beast to let him take his own way. 1" Mr. A DOLPHiIS.—I shall not answer any a those re marks.

" Nkr. Brown.—He comes here because he is paid. It is his profession, hitt we are not paid." The Morning Chroniele is astonished that such a scene should have been exhibited in a .Im.y-room. We are surprised it could have been forgotten that scenes of a similar kind had been common even on more ele vated stages, when certain performers have happened to he warmly engaged iu their parts, and that they have ended la-something more serious than altercation. We ;recollect one of these polemic scenes that took place four or iletyeaks ago, which an old acquaintance and occa sional correspondent thought worthy to be preferred in verse. the narrative appeared in print soon after the transaction; but as it may haveescaped the attention of some, and the memory of others, we think we cannot gra tify our readers more than by giving it again publicity from the copy with which we had been favoured by our friend: TIIE BATTLE OF UMBRELLAS. A row I sing, a Woody row, Between two nsa-maids, where and how. Their names first notify, my muse— Fat Dotty Fus, and fair ANN DRIMS. And next the scene of action tell— A public-house at Clerkenwell. Loose were their habits, though reports Say, Ann and Doll were bred to Cauks: Some vintners thus, while others ran, That Carrie were bread to DOLL and ANN; And like their bettirs, to look big. karts too, forsooth, must wear a wig ! Now, though invidious it has seem'd, DOLL fittest for a tap was decried : But, no matter, out it fell, That they fell out at Clerkenwell, As each-a customer, they say, Was serving in the usual way. High wards and low alternate pass, But ANN was high-loin to the last ; While DoIIS-, 'tis by all agreed, Was low. was very low indeed. Next sing the cause, which, it appeari Set ANY and Dott.v by Smears. For, let us give the devil his due, Both had a mule, if fame speak true. Some say DOLL'S tongue too quickly ran; Reflecting on the birth of Ann; Others malntain'd, with equal strife, DOLL ne'er reflected in her life : Some go so far, indeed—oh, fle That waxing warm—ANN gave the lie. Lucky no pots were in the Bar, Women are not particular, Will missiles seize, the first that come, And make no bones of breaking some. Unlike the Amazons of yore, Draw blood, who porter drew before. But 'tis tio matter, out it fell, That they fell out at Clerkenwell.
