He appeared to me to be very much hurt ; lie was near tumbling from his horse; I observed an officer at the gate that day; don't know his name; he was a young man ; I did not take notice of any other officer than the officer who was with that detachment; I saw no pistol in his hands, nor carbine ; I saw a trumpeter that day, but I do not know him; I don't think 'I should know him again, I took so little notice of him; he was not a black man; he appeared to me about 20 or 30 ; I ob served the soldiers attempt to drive back the people, and flourish their swords ; I do not think they flourish ell their swords in an import- manner ; I saw a sol (tier and his horse down it that time, how he came so, ('don't knew; I did not see him till after he was down. By Mr. Gall—l do not now play the trumpet ; I pay another person to do it ; I never beard whether it 18 A place for life, or during his Majesty's pleasure. • By another Juryman—l saiv some paving stones, which had been left loose at the corner of Camber land-street, not being rammed down ; the mob had get them up, and were endeavouring to break them, anocking one against the other, bat whether they suc ceeded in breaking them Ido not know. This was at the corner of Cumberland-street, nearest to Tyburn ate; I do not know whether these stones were after ivards thrown ; I cannot say that I saw any stones thrown from the opposite corner, but they were thrown from the middle of the street ; I did not see any horses wounded that day ; I saw several struck ; I did see one with his throat cut; the detachment commanded tai the young officer went away shortly after the heaise lilt the gate ; I did not see the trumpeter in conversa tion with the officer ; when the people were carrying by a man through Cumberland-street, there was a cry' or murder. By another Juryman—l had no conversation with Lord Shaftesbury on the subject, nor with any one but Mr. Henson. Mr. Waith tuan called while I was at the inflow, and if he had questioned me I should have given him the same account which I gave to Mr. Hen son. Mr. Waitbman asked of the person who opened the door, as I understood, " Mistress, can you give us any information upon this matter ?" and the person answered " No." Lord Shaftesbury did not call upon That part of the evidence which related to Mr. • Waitbump's conversation being hearsay, *as not ill -serted in the minutes. .Michael latimbton Este was next sworn. lam a sur geon of the First Regiment of Life Guards. I was wait ►►►; in the barracks on the 14th of August all day, and received the men as they came in ; 37 came under my Care for hurts and bruises received that day. The ;;►cater number of hurts were contusions on the bead, ►.eek, body, and limbs; they were such as would have been inflicted by stones and brickbats. All the men so struck and bruised, as I have described, required care u..der my hands. I only saw 37. There were five of them who had broken bones;—one a broken cheek bone; one a shoulder-blade broken, that was Sowerby; one a collar-bone broken ; one an ancle-bone broken ; and oae a shin-bone and arm-bone injured. These were healthy ►►►en before they went out. 1 did not examine them before, my business being only to inspect those who are ill. I wish to mention that there were 36 men brought in from Cumberland-gate, but one man was brought afterwards from Westminster. Sowerby, the man who had the collar-bone broken, was brought from Westminster. I order►d them all into the hospital. Mr. ADOLPHUS—We have only to do with the 36 persons. By the Foreman—The whole of the 36 persons were in the hospital for five or six days; those who received fractures are still there, and the whole are on the sick list. By another Juryman—lt is not customary for men to appear on the parade who are on the sick list ?—Witness. Certainly aot. By another Juryman—Sowerby did not go into the hospital until the day after the riot. He did not think that his aria was broken, but when I examined it I found he bad received a fracture. I was in the barracks to receive the men, and I knew that they were out upon the service at Cumberland-gate. By the Foreman—The 36 persons were all on the sick list, and they positively did not go out under six days; all of those who did go on duty went before I thought that they ought to have gone, but the duty pressed hea vily ; Sowerby, and the men who received fractures, are all on the sick list ; those who had fractures were cer tainly not at the inspection ; I don't know moo who fell from his horse was one of the beg of my belief be was; I cannot was one of the tire, nor do I know his by one of the men that he bad fallen ft Inca the Coroner read over his no Mr. Blakie observed, that he bad omission, which was, that the four fractures were not on the parade on apection. Wit $ said he believed they were _ By SIT! ADOLPHUS—I do not think that they could have attended there with safety to themselves. The next witness was Samuel Bloxam—l am veteri nary surgeon to the First Regiment of Life Guards; I inspected the horses who returned from duty on the 14th in the course of the same evening; there were a many hurt, but not disabled from duty, and those M I not take cognizance of; there are two privates' horses sad one officer's horse now unfit for duty.; many were cut with flints, but after rest were capable of returning to duty ; one horse had the artery ander the jaw divides j be is now fit for duty. By the FOILIMAN—I made a memorandum about five minutes before I came here; I did sot know until then 1 was to be examined; I can swear that it is a correct statement; the name of the officer whom horse is still unfit for duty is Lieutenant Hall; his bone was wood ed by a blow of a stone; the ether was a eat wound, not a torn wound; it divided the artery; it was about three parts of as Inch deep ; I don't know the teintrotse who was oat on that day. next n in. tL I•rol. .. C what took place at Grosvenor-gate • I was in my own tamest the-upper lied-room window, - .1 Think it was about hallppst eleven, it might have beets a little ear lier; a corporal's guard of the Life Guards came into the Park, and stood opposite to Grosvenor-gate *lth the horses' heads towards Kensington. They coatinued. quietly in that situation until about a quarter past 12, when 1 first perceived the Queen's funeral coming up the Park; it was opposite to Lord Breadalbane'shouse when I first saw it; a great crowd followed up Park-lane; think about fifteen or twenty. of them setting up a hor rid yell; it was not universal among the crowd by any means, calling out, " you have murdered our Queen, you bloody Piccadilly butchers," at the same time a vol ley of stones was thrown at the Life Guards, who rode past at the side of the funeral, as well as at the corpo ral's guard opposite the gate, and fairly drove them from that position ; they quietly marched over to the opposite side of the road, then faced about, fronting Lord Dudley's house, and remained in that position, notwithstanding the vollies of stones which continued to be thrown at them until the hearse passed between them and the mob, when they joined the procession and went on towards Cumberland-gate, the mob still follow ed, pelting them with stones until 1 lost sight of the procession; at half past twelve I heard a firing which continued I think a minute and a half, perhaps two mi nutes, and 1 observed " the Life Guards oan stand it no longer."—(Objected to.) tS Witness—l only wished to state it as I set it out in any depositions. By Mr. A ooLenus—Wbat waa- the conduct of the soh iery never saw men behave so -coolly, so or derly„ or so humanely. By a Jarqe=4 said the corporal's guard remained from eleven , o l clock opposite my house, until they were dislodged by the voilies of stones when the hearse came up; I can positively state they never changed their position until the hearse came ap, and I will give the reason—the attack *pon the corporal's guard was made by the mob that accompanied the fullers' up the lane, consequently it did not last more than a minute or so ; the hearse was travelling, when going past my 'house, occasionally at a quick walk, and occasionally standing still ; I can't swear that I did not see it in a trot ; it might have been that about a quarter of an hour before the procession came up; the soldier's ,horses were ranged ill order near the railing of the Park wall, with their heads towards Lord Dudley's louse ; it is probable they were, but they afterwards changed their position, when they took the position I first described ; my house is nearly opposite Grosvenor gate ; it is nearer Oxford-street them Piccadilly ; I could not from that see what passed in Piccadilly ; the Riding-house is nearer to Piccadilly than my house; I first saw, I think, the procession when between the Riding-house and Lord Breadalbane's; I don't know at what pace the procession came from Piccadilly to the Riding-house ; I could net swear I saw it gallop from my house to Cumberland-gate ; I did not see it all the way ; it was a quarter of an hour from the time I saw it until the firing began, I can't swear it did not gallop any part of the way. The depositions were then read over to the witness, and he added in explanation, that the volley of stones which he saw thrown by the mob who accompanied the hearse, was not thrown by the whole mob, but by about 13 or 20 persons. The nett witness was Colonel Cavendish—l was present at the inspection of the Life Guards on the 21st, by some of the witnesses ; I saw a person there who gave his name to Mr. Birnie, or one of the Ma gistrates, as Spratt, a witness ; he went down all the lines, in front of the lines once, and upon coming to the end of them, requested to be allowed to go back again in order to see an officer whom he believed to be the man who shot Honey; as other witnesses bad been aUowed to do the same, he was allowed to go back to the first line again; he stopt at the second officer on his left hand, whose name is Walrond, he is a Sub- Lieutenant; after looking at him a moment, he passed on to another, I rather believe the next, be slept, walked past him, looked at bim, and returned again, his name is Locke; he passed by him again, with his eyes fixed upon him, then made some sort of motion with his head and arm, which appeared to me to sig nify th he could not make up his mind whether that was tl an. Lieutenant Gore was in the same line .mice r down; I cannot say according to my re that Spratt stopt or made any particular respecting Lieutenant Gore ; I am per- II acquainted with the persons of Lieute na alrond and Locke. Neither they nor Lieu ten re, to my knowledge, painted their cheeks on that . The two former have fresh complexions; but but as ti paint , I should be ashamed of the regiment if any °Slifer could condescend to use it. On the morning after the Queen's funeral, Lieut. Gore was on the Church parade at Hyde-park barracks; I marched him off, with the remainder of the regiment, to the riding-school, where the Church service is performed ; that was a few minutes after eleven. Divine service would be over in about.Vf an hour; I did not see Lieut. Gore any more that dry, to my recollection. The King's guards were relieved that morning from the Horse guards by the 1i1ue5. , ,7 The relief takes place very soon after eieven 4 , The inbtant I marched oil the regiment to 'the riding. shool, I put on my great coat, and went on horseback, guards at the back of Carlton House the officers of that guard were, c, and Sub-Lieut.

I met, as I have said, Captain Lieut. Cox, and Sub-Lieut. Halt. When Lieut. Gore was at church, the King's Guard was relieved by the Blues. lam confident Lieut. Gore was sot on duty on the King's guard that morning; if he was it might or might not be entered in the orderly book. By Mr. Blakie—Sub-Lient. Hall is not like Limit Gore; he is much shorter. By a Juror-e-Spratt did not fix upon either of these men ; he only looked at them. By Mr. Browne—Lieat. Hall was attached to Captain Oakes's party. Ido not know whether Lieut. Oen er Lieut. flan bad pistols or not; I hare heard Lieut. Gore had not. Mr. Blakio—Mr. Adolphus has saki pa know far whowara Is retained. I wish to haw for what party he b stained. , that be bad s, retained. -He hi perform, and Col. ollaserefore enclose him forthe question he Mr. Blakie did hot press his question. The next witness examined was Mr, •intant—l was present at the inspectios on the 21st ; I remember a man of the Inspecting the regiment. I accompanied Inspection ; he stopped. opposite Sub-/ looked at him first one way and then not stop at Lieut. Walrond decidedly, Lieut. Lock very decidedly; Lieut. Dore derable distance on the eastern side of ed him but I did not see him stop or I Lion. know Lieut. Walrond and Lieu' well. Their faces exhibited nothing you my word of honour that there was paint or any thing of the kind. They a fresher colour than Lieut. Gore, so make them more unlike him than Gore is of a more boyish appearance. ly book, which is made by my own direction. ing to the orders of the 15th of August day, I find that eleven o'clock, that day Martin, Sub-Lieutenant Bayard, and Gore were on duty from Friday the 17t1 18th. ,1 myself was on duty on Saturday saw them. They were relieved on Saturday .., *Neill, Lieut. Cox, and Sub-Lieut. Hail. Those gentlemen were on duty until Sunday were then relieved by the Blues, and Barracks at about a quarter before —The Blues still do the duty the alt. I think Lieutenant Gore has not been guard since the 18th; Lieutenant Gore parade on Sunday the Mk. and west to choreic regiment, for I recollect talking with " - on the parade on Saturday, and seeing on Sunday. By Mr. Blakie .I have no knowledge •of- Lieut. Gore going on duty by • mistake. The officer that mounts guard cannot exchange duty or go off the guard, without permission of the Silver Stick, who is the General Field Officer of the King's Guards. I have never been examined before by Mr. Adolphus, except at a Court Martial. He never examined me be fore on the subject of this Inquest. Witness's evidence was read over, and signed by him. Mr. ADOLPHU6 said that he should call two more witnesses, Lieut. Lock and Lieut. Walrond, and he should then close his cue. William Lock examined—l am Sub-Lieutenant in the Ist Regiment of Guards ; I was drawn out for inspection on the 21st of August; 1 used no contrivance or ar rangement to cause people to mistake my person for that of lietit. Gore, or Lieut. Gore's for mine; I used no art or contrivance whatever to change my counts nancn; upon my oath I used no paint on that occasion; I had more colour then than I have now, for I have been on my couch since last Sunday week, in conse quence of a blow which I received from a brickbat. By Mr. Blakie—l have no knowledge of Lieut. (lore going on duty by mistake since the 14th. Witness signed his deposition ; and . • Lieut. Bettell Walrond was next called and exemined —I am a Sub-Limitimant in the Ist Regiment of Guards; 1 was drawn out for inspection on the 41st of August; I certainly did not, by painting or any other contriv ance, endeavour to alter my appearance on that day. By Mr. Blakie—l have no knowlede of Lieut. Gore going on duty by mistake since the 14t h. Mr. AnoLruus announced to the Coroner that he now closed his case. Lieut. Hall was called bat not sworn, as Mr. Adolphus said it was not his intention to ask him any questions. Mr. Blakie wished to know, whether, as Lieut. Hall was in attendance, it would net be adriseable to put a few questions to him ? Mr. ADOLPHUS 'said they might certainly make him a witness if they. thought proper ; -for his own part, it was not his intention to examine bins. The Jury might now see whether there was any resemblance between Lieut. Hall and Lieut. Gore. Coroner said, that question must be set at rest; for sufficiently clear that there was not the slight estss Mania. (Lieut. Hall is a young man of dimi nutive stature; Limit. Gore is tall. Lieut. Hall withdrew; and a Juror observed, that as the examinations were now cloyed. it only remained to determine to what day they would adjourn. A long and general conversation then ensued 'on the subject of adjournment, and the necessity or non- necessity of having the whole of the evidence read over. At length it was determined that the Inquest should re-assemble on Tuesday next, at ten o'clock in the morning, and that the evidence should be read over. . TO THE EDITOR OP THE STATESMAN.

FRANCISCO DE RESIIA. The Coroner's Inquest on RICHARD Howay, of tit proceedings of which we yesterday, exclusively, red a detailed report in oar first and second editions, bas now reached that important point on which the attee Lion of the public is concentrated. The examination of witnesess now appears to be terminated, and the evidence is about to be read over, at the next meeting, on Tuesday, previous to the Coroner making his charge to the Jury, and the Jury proceeding to consider their verdict. Respecting what that verdict may be, se we have, during the whole progress of the investigation deemed it unbecoming to offer comment, so at this , alai% more especially, we think it our duty to forbear to speculate. The points involved in this enquiry are not merely the finding in what manner the unfortu nate deceased came to his death, and finding oat the person by whom his death was occassioned, bat ascertaining whether his death was justifiable on the part of him by whom he was shot, and whether the horri ble extremity, to which, in that case, the military re sorted, was in all respects sanctioned by the law of the land, and to be vindicated on the principle of ab solute necessity. On these important points, what ever the verdict of the Inquest may be, we shall take occasion to express our sentiments when the ex pression may be made without suspicion of isle ming the judgment of those who are required to decide upon the case. In the meantime, on the prim- Gayle on which we act, of leaving the minds of Jury men unbiassed, which is so manifestly just and mend as to be incapable of dispute, on this very principle. ,we are urged the more to reprobate and expose the loulacity of those, who in the attempt to collect subeeriP dons to reward the soldiery, by whom the deed in ques ties wasdone, have most grossly violated this as well as every principle of the constitution.
