A consideruble number of atranrcs having entered the room with the Jury, the Coroner. ordered that all who were not on the inquest should withdraw, which haying been com plied with, the surgeons in attendance proceeded to open the body, in the presence of the Coroner and Jury. At half-past three the Jury with the Coroner returned to the New Inn, and their names having bees called over, oil the wituess?s, except the first to be examined, were ordered to withdraw. This order was repented three or four times, and en forced by the Coroner, with a declaration, that any person who staid in the room after that notice, should not be heard in evidence.

He cameos say how many shots were fired. There were more them two ; be should think sot lees than twenty. The people ems. tinned throwing brickbats. He thinks the soldiers on the 'pot were shoot half • troop. He meld sot form any idea of the somber of penning nesembled; they were dispersed, and it wee impossible to judge their numbers.

They thew rode haetwards sad brwords, dispersing the mob. Whew the funeral processions passed through Cumberland-Sate, the soldiers turned the beads of tire homes drawls( the lmns towards Bayswater, and then surrounded the loans arid fired on the mob. Previoaslr they hid bees very meek pelted by the mob with brickbats, which they tore off the ' Pear well, in convequettee of which the firing commenced.

As soon as the horses' heads were out of the Park several persons of the mob *cited the reins sad turner' them towards town, the soldiers rode Up to them, and began to Austria+ their sOordir. The populace their began to pelt theist. . • In answer to a questio. fr om Mr. Sheriff Waitbenatt—He did not are the rails turn off the Park wall. Questioned by a Jurymen—He sew some permits ow the wall at the coraer of Park lane tear up bricks off the wall and throw them at the soldiers. He was then Is the Park, but kft it when be saw what was likely to emte; he pro ceeded to the inset where deceased fell, between Cumber laud.street sod Quebec-street. There wau so throwing from any person beyond Park-lane; he did trot see say permit Are distinctly; the soldiers wire about a hundred yards dis teat ; he beard the report and saw the emote; the soldiers were between him and the gate, and on the ether side of the gate as well ; the major part of them was on the other side of the gate from witness. He did not twat the Riot Aet read, nor did he bear any person say it was read. He saw ab Magistrate; be saw a person whom he was told was Sir R. Baker. To queitioss from several Jurymen—The soldiers were Grins and the mob throwing at the same time—it was a ge seral affray. He has no idea of any particular perms from wheat the shot came. There was a greet driag; he heard at keel Meaty shots, bet does not think he heard forty. He chi' not hear say order gives to lire; nor is he sware whether the soldiers fired by order, se individwally. They did not Are is a volley. Witness saw no other person wounded be sides the deceased. Bya Juryman — W.. lt the Life Guards or the Blues that /red ?—The Blom. Another Jury man—Had they red coats?—Tea.

His description of the passage of the ball is. the reeding, appeared - to be noted thus : Nit entered the right side sod passed through the heart." When the witness was almut to at his sigostnre te the deposition, one of the geritlesien on the Jury said, w You had better correct the account of the passage of the shot. It is staled its the deposition to bare passed through the heart." Wilnear—N Tee, it pawed throttles Ibe heart." Joryisan--" Is that caw, 1 consider that be could not hare breathed afterwards, whereas you say he made three r four inspiration. after he was laid on the counter. This evidence will eo forth to the public, and it will excite stir prise to hear it stated by a professional men, that a person breathed after bring shot through the heart." heedWitteimo.oi tit passedpassedAmish the upper pan of the ." Joryeann—" You had better have it stated in the deposi ties, is your own terns, • the left ventricle of the heart,' otherwise is will appear es If you ascent that She ball passed throogh the body of the heart, in which ease the male would have died ue the spot." Witness--" Certainly ; if the ball had passed through the heart lower down, the alas would have died instantly." Mr. Sheriff Waithoesa—u In your opinion, could a bullet tired al a hundred yards distance penetrate a balsam body as this has done ? Wihiess- 0 Certainly, .1 think it e 0.141." The Jurymen who 1;14 spoken helms sispieglng the di rectness of the ball, wow said, " the shot estate/ the left side, between the third sad berth ribs, passed soder the aferintat, through the left ventricle of the heart, Amish she longs, and out between the third and fourth ribs of the right side. It then took • direction upwards iuto the arm, and was ex tracted below the pond of the right shoulder." The witness thee signed hie deposition and withdrew. The next witness sworn was Mr. James Hall Pope, a sur geon. residing in Somerset-street, Purtmsn-squAre. He had examined the body, and beard the evidence of the preceding witness, which he corroborated as far as related to the wound. He knew nethisig of the transactions in Oxford.street. He had no doubt whatever that the death of the deceased was the coesequeoce of the wound. He now produced the ball, which was extracted from the right arm of the deceased. [lt was in appearance an ordinary cavalry pistot-ball.] In answer to questions from Mr. Sheriff Wahines's, the nitres* said he was of °pinkie it could not have been bred at the distance stated. Ile should imagine from the direc tion which it hail taken, that it mast have beta died at a shorter distance. In his opinion, either the distance must hove been less, or the propelling power must have been mach greater then usual. He bad not the least doubt that the wound was the cause of the death of the deceased. The Clerk then proceeded to read over the deposition, slit be came to the opinion of the witnesses to the distance flows which the shot was fired, when the Coroner said, 11 That being merely matter of (violins, bad better be struck oat." The witness said be should wish it to be retained as his professional °pietism, founded on the course which the ball had taken, parsing entirely through both aides. That opi nion might be met, and corroborated or overturned by lb* further midenee of other professional men. The Coroner again mid, all that was mere matter of °pi nton bad better be struck out of the depositions. Mr. Sheriff Waithinan said, with submission to the Co roner, be thought in a case of great public interest and im- Inatome such as the present, it was better not to omit any thong, mid that emu what might be considered as mere sur plusage had better be retained. The Coroner repeated, that what was only matter of opinion had better be left out altogether. Mr. Sheriff Weinstein, with submission to the Coroner, thought so this was the opinion of a professional gentle man, it was a proper subject for the consideration of the Jury. The Coroner said, if it had embraced any professional point, the opinion of the witness might be a proper alibied fur consideration ; but as the opinion applied solely to the possibility of a ball fired from a carbine ur a pistol at a amiss! Meteor producing the effect which had been do. scribed, which watt a subject of which the Jury were equally capable of forming a correct opinion with the witness, it was nut a fit matter to be iutruiluceil into the evidence; nor had the Jury soy thing at all to do with the opinion of the witness out the subject. Mr. Sheriff Wailliman begged to remind the Coroner, that he bad already on his minutes the opinion of one profes sional geutlemou on the moue point. The Coroner believed nut. Mr. Sheriff %Vaithentiss said, he believed it would so ap pear, fur he himself bail put the question to the former wit ness, who had auswered The Cormier said, then the question had been hastily put as to the opinion of that witness, aid he had inadvertently suffered the answer to Ire taken down, which he should out hare allowed hail be perceived it. Mr. SherifilVaillinran.lMped he should not he thought pestilently' us or impertinent in acting as he bad doue. He had thought it incumbent tot him to attend upon this on awn w consequener of the official situation winch he tilled, and im which he telt he had a duty to perform.

He head Shot nnu.cummissioned officer tell two of the soldiers Oho were with the p•ocessiow to walk on to the gale. His words were, as he belie/tel. 4 walk on ;" but they spurred their horses, which emitted thesis to dart forward through the gate, awl in so de in( they knocked down two persons. After this it was that he saw the dunce, and a confusion envois,. be turned his hone routed end stood Wolcott/ at it. from near the circus au the right hand going in as Coneberlaed-gate. As be wood there, a Lady, whom he knew to he Lady Ann Hamilton, leek ed out of the window of we of the mourning coaches which • had come up, and impaired of hint what was the matter; be told her that a retire hail taken place, end that the soldiers were firing on the people, The words of the officer to the soldiers were, as be believes, ° walk se." He does not recollect whether the soldiers in pieselladif were dressed in red or blue. He thinks the ollicer wore • red coat. He also 'kirks be recollects the trousers to have been of dark mixture with red upon them.-- ' When the two soldiers darted forward, the non-coninds. sinned officer waved his sword over his head and podded with it towards the gate, lookiog at the some time So wer& the soldiers who were behead him. They tams. diately rushed forward through the gate, anti oallopped, some to the right and others to the left ea Oidord.drose. After a number of 'ltem bad Famed hint, witness tumid his Wise round as before described, end after 'prelim: to Lady Ann Hamilton, rode down the Park to one of the foot gates and passed out through it iota Park.lane. He saw the railing of the Park fall; bid did loos observe what caused it. He did rot see any body wounded. By a Juryntsn—When the two peruons you have men. tiosed were thrown down, were the soldiers yon spoke of preceding the hearse or surrounding it du not exactly know. it'as the railing thrown down before or after those per sona were rode over?—Not until after. Was the Riot Act read?-1 do not know; I did not hear it read. By Mr. Sheriff Wsithinso—Did the people appear as if they were running away from the *clog'!:-.1 saw them rousing. By the Coroner—Was there any arise in the Park ?—I did sot see say there; I did not set say Inn at all, but I heard some in the direesiou of Oxford.atreet. By a Juryman—How luag was it after the Guards bad passed through the gate that the firing took place?—Nut more tins a minute. Du you know bow the tiring commenced do sot. Did the two soldiers you have meatimsed pat their homes aside, or did they ride over the two geollenien !—They rode against them, sad the gessilemeo fell; I saw one of them afterwards covered with mod. Perhaps I may be allowed to state, that I saw no desperadoes whatever to riot is any other part through w►ich the poommiesa hod pained. The ropeo seemed to feel that it was a funeral, and sot a political pro• cession. By a Juryman—The officer did not order the soldiers to ride over the people ?—H is Words I !bought were, " walk on." Did you understand that as an order to ride over the people thought the editor ordered the soldiers to walk ow. Theo their riding against the people was a careless act of their owa?-11 is out possible foe me to say. Those persons were thrown dews by the horses as they bounded forward tni being spurred. I do not knew whether it was at the lirst or ►econd bound ; but it was as they darted forward towards the gate. I do sot know whether either of those persons was injured. I saw no stones thrown until after Mom persons were ridden dosses. After they were duwo I heard a general outcry against the soldiers, as I believe, in couseoueuee of that act. I saw no other officer but the one whom I before mentioned. I do out mean to say there was no other officer present, but that I saw no other. I did not bear what the words were which the people used when they cried out, but I beard a general murmur against t►e. troop'. The witness then rigged his deposition aad withdrew. The beadle then asked whether Mr. Griffiths, another Surgeon who had assisted at the (itemisation of the body, might be discharged ? The Coroner said be supposed he might, for be presumed that there was so °catkins* present who was aol already satisScd thst the wound bad caused the death; to which the Jury assented. The next witness sworn was Juba Hathonie, of 11, Crown-street, Soho, basket-maker. He joined the proses• Moo yesterday at Kensington, and came through she Park with it. When the hearse was passing through Cumbe►lanel gate, he was at the side foot-gate; be observed nothing to call his particular attention until after it had passed through. He came through the small gate at the same time as the hearse paned the large gate. After it was gone through he saw brick-bats throw■ from the direc tion of Park-lane. He saw owe of them strike a soldier of the Blues, who fell, with his horse under him. That caused an opening, through which lie crossed to the other side of the street. The bricks were thrown towards tine middle of the road ; some fell ow the pavement. A few Nehmen after he had crossed the road, the firing com menced. The mug commenced from the direction of Ty burmgate. By Mr. Sheriff Waithenan—What was the first thing you saw when the hearse was passiug through the gale—did you see any attempt to turn the horses' heads!—No ; it had come through the gale, and was going ow. Which way ?—Tusrands the Edgware rood. lu mower to questions from some of the Jury—lie said he saw swords brandished before the firing ; that was after the bricks were thrown. After he crossed over he stood within three or rout feel from the deceased, when be saw him lying un the ground. He did sot see him fall; he did not know how he fell ; be thought he was in a fit ; he bad no fear or bring shut, for lie thought they were firing blank cartridge ; he assisted to carry away the deceased. At first he did out observe that be jar wounded; he was insensible front the beginning, like a mat in a fit. He did not bear any Riut Act read. By Mr. Sheriff Waithman—He did not see the deceased throw any thing. He saw a number of the flashes of the pistols. The deceased was about a hundred yards from the soldiers; he did not observe the hearse attempted to be tom d use way or other. By a Jaryassa—He awe a trooper down, but that was by the accident of his horse falling. There was s stoppage of the hearse, but by what it was occasioned he does Not know ; there might lace bees as attempt to two the hearse, though be did not see it, as be was tomb confused. By Mr. Sherd? Waithman—He did not nee any disposition to riot on the part of the people in toy other part of the priireasion than Park•lUre.
