The discussion was carried on too Its egularly fur U 6 to state the exact order of the argummit, which tau us sub stance as follows : The Coroner objected to admitting the evidence of may conversation between the *horse mud Sir R. Baker which did mot relate to the transactions at and near CumberWest gate. His objeetiuos were fouuded ou the drover of esta blishing a bad precedent, and wasting the time of the Jury. He was reminded by several of theJururs and by Mr. Sheriff Welshman that be bad in the early depositions 'hewn a deep earnestness to know all particulars which transpired both before and after the procession entered the Park, because he bad observed those transi.etions would go a great way to ex plain the conduct of the military when they left the Park. The Coroner adhered to his übjictioug , though one or two of the Jury renewed their arguments against him, and pleaded very earnestly to have the witness examined. Mr. Hinman took the same side with the Coroner, sad pointed out the disadvantages likely to result float ad mitting hearsay evidence um matters out cumitxted as to time and place with the fact in question. Mr. Greig, the witness, took leave to assure the Jury that as there was nothing in whit he had to say but what was perfectly admissible, according to il.e repeated ruling of the Coroner in this very case, so he would state his evi deuce briefly, and 'Mew from she testimony of Sir Robert Baker and of the officer commanding the detachment, with both of which personages lie bad communicated, that the Riot Act was nut read. The Cormier maintained his former objections, aid the discussion continued sharply suit interruptedly among the Jurors, who canie at length to a lute, and it being carried by a large majority, the emitter was requested by the Foreman to let in the evidence, if it were legally admissible. Tim Coroner continued adverse, and the subject muderwent as tither discussion. Mr. Sheriff Waist liman ',cream il big astonishment that the Coroner, after has dig asked questions as he had done of other witnesses, as to Slot c ..... municatione made with Sir - Robert Baker, slietild lioW is film! 11. bear the substatice of those communications num the party by whom and to whom they ware made. He cousidered this a* our tif the most ims• portant points in tiir inquiry. If the Riot Act was not read, the character of the fact into which they were issquirioK would stand altogether in a dal. mot light from that which would sorromad it if the tunlitoy were proved. Mr. liinesun i is support of his asses tiow, that the evideaoe was nos aseteria!, towns/rd. that it might not be attempted by the 'clitoral to pester that the ItSot Act woe read.

Mr. Sheriff ‘Va;tionan reminded the lash speaker that his defence could only suffice under a military guveatiiesit, sad was wholly tuslicetual fir its purpose under a govern meat of law.

Sir Robert Baker answered, " I thisk so, and I bare made up my inind.that we will go through she Qty." Witness asked, " Which route will roe take?" Ha said " The most usual way ; which is the best?

Mr. Sheriff Wuithinau reverting to the subject of the admission of the witnesses to see the Life Guards paraded, fur the purpose of emibling them to identify the individual who fired .he pistol, some conversation ensued on the sub jict between the Sheriff, Mr. Hinestm, the Coroner, cad some of the Jury, the result of which was, an arrangement that tickets should be given by the Coroner to such wit. misses as presented themselves at the White Horse publie house, near the Foot Guards barracks, at Knightsbridge, to-morrow (this day), at one o'clock. The Feat witness called and sworn was Mr. Josiah Deane, of No. 2, Bin place, Tottenhant.court-road, Saco-draper, who was proceeding to relate with much mammies, some irrelevant eircumstasces of the early part of the proeress of the procession, when the Coroner said he hail better begin ilk the arrival in Piccadilly; to which Mr. Sheriff Moth man sod the Jury expressed their assent. The witures then rammed :—The procession proceeded part of the way along Piccadilly • when wittiest; heard the hearse was gone th roug h t h e inik, lie turned back and found it to be the case, and went into the Park himself, and passed by the side of the funeral procession. When be Lad gut about UM yards before it, he was surprised to see about six or seven of the Life Guards gallopping towards Cumber. laud-gate. Oue had advanced a little before the others and bad knocked down an elderly man with his horse; two others followed and knocked down two more persons in the same manlier; one of those persons seemed to be much butt about the knee. Witness gallupped forward and overtook the aohliers at the gate,when they turned round and endeavoured to prevent him frogs passing ; be got through the gate into Ox ford.street, and was surprised to ere a young officer riding on the causeway, sad cutting at the people with his sword. The officer wu , on the causeway between Cumberland-gate and Tyburn-turnpike.

The officer replied, • D—n you, Sir, get out of the way, err you shall feel tire weight of this," lifting his sword, sod Shea gallopped towards Cumber land-gale.

If the Jury were not admitted, It would be to nu purpose fur the witnesses to go. The Foreman then said, himself and another of the Jury would retire and draw up a letter on the subject for tbs con sideration of the Jury.
