FOR THE SUN. Mt, EDITOR—For file present, Mr. KEAN is out of the question with me. I tun' to the Edi tor of THE SUNDAY MONITOR, Who has ventured to advance against Inc very grave charges of ca- Inalny, Inisrepresewddon, malice, and forgery. I have, it seems, charged this Editor with "for gery," because I suggested a possibility that the Letter beariug Mr KeaN's signature was,not ge noine.. Every man, who as the least convet sauce with compasition knows the practice of supposing such and such writings to be " not genuine," when we wish to avoid a personal at tack upon their author. it is a point of literary courtesy, which every body ithderstaopls, and which deceives nobody. Wer: it possible, I should be happy to discuss tttr . Edit or ., article the saine manner ; as I shotod he spared the ne cessity of obser..a,ions which way be rather pain- I ful to my' politeness. Aud upon a charge of this kind I in accused of pretending friendship to Mr. Ka ; ‘rtid assarn ing a cloak, for the purpose of srabbiog him in the dark. Upon d charge of this kite! I un de scribed by the Sunday Editor as a " fiend and an assassin ;"—" an noprincioled assailant, and, plc meditated detractor." I; lam all this, why is the charge loft to a third person, and not inate Mr. Eeate himself, who lels, doubtlessly, as little liking for blue assassiaaied. and so font', as his Sunday trietaean have tor him t But I have''' mist epresented" Mr. KEAN'S Let ter.

Let theM be examined,' letter 'oyietter, syllable by syllable, byword, and I defy tmlice itself 'to fasten upoe tne the charge of misrepresentation. Any refuge, however, suffices for this flounder tug and beWildeeed charge ;-- which only reminds me of the unfortunate sharper, who contradicted, the story of having been' tossed in a blanket at No. 4, and pretested it was a most malignant " ruts. representation ;" for that the accideto occurred, not at No. 4, but a , No. i 9 ; and that, moreover, he was - not tossed in a blanker, but in a rug. - At present, Sir,' the question, whether Mr. K2/0; did or did not violate truth andanodesty in this instance, is not before the public. • But, Sir, this Sunday Editor goes beyond all impudence in this charge. It is himself who has -misrepresented the Letter, t.o wit 1014 Ir . e has fo:- mally attached 'Mr. KEAN'S signettirte- e -He na,a, upon his own confessian, omitted its reference to iris private letter, about whicu he had not. intend ed to let u>t knOw a syllable ; tei,:le ; ne pub lishes the letter not substautially, .Itat, for mally, he suppresses whatever he thought .entive nieut for suppression; and what, if be had publish cti, would have g'ven the Letter its best air of au theutictty.

Characters, I know, do oot garble, any more than they can " arrogate" or " But I most -not occupy your columns, Sir, with the refutation of this Sunday Editor's criticisms. If lie knew that I did not attribute such powers to the " cha racter," he is beneath reply ;—if he thought that I did, reply were as useless as correction. . I ant softy, however, that he has turned out of his way front defending Mr. KEAN, to deCiding for him. Should that Gentleman not chase to waive his right to LARGE LETTERS, he will be very little obliged to the officious friend who puts him in the awkward situation of declioiteg the suggestion. Non tali auxilio may well. be ap plied by Mr. KEAN to The Sunday Monitor. CANDIDUS. Mr. VANDENHOFF, who was to have appeared at Drury-Lane in the same characters that 11i.

Chronicle.) The Inquest which had ~ hithetto beets held at Oldbani on the body of Johu Lees, was this morn ing testing(' at the Star Inn, in this town. [Nothing''ltjai'erial occurred this day.---There way some squabbling between the Coroner and the Reporters of two Newspairers, respecting the faking notes of the evidence.; At seven o'clock the Court adjourned until half past ten tO-morrow. SATURDAY, OCT. 9. The Court opened this morning at half-past 'On o'clock. The room was immediateiy filled t,1 1 14 1 , spectutois. Mr. Ashworth 1,,..1s not present. The Jury having been called over, - Mr. Harmer observed to the Coroner, thlt there was a pet son naMed Daniel'Astley, 'wino could. give evidence of a pistol having been fired near the Qoakers' Chapel, on Ifillt August; Ire wished to obtain a summons for his attendance. Mr. Barrow said, the'Coroner had previously tetused summonses for persons who were to give similar testimony, Mr. Hamer replied that several witnesses had given evidence of having heard a pistol shot in the direction alludtd to, and lie wished the Jury to hear this witness, as he could state by whom the shot was filed. '!'i►e Coroner—Recollected mention baying been made of a shot fired in Deansgate; he did not re member any other.. Air. Harm e r answered, that Mr, Entwistle, Mr. NAdin, and others, had mentioned that a shot had been heard near the-Chapel ; if it could be proved who fired that shot, it would form an important featdre in the case. Coroner—l have no objection to the man's being examined ; won't lie attend without a sum mons ? Mr. Harmer—l understand not, Sir. The Coroner issued a summons, and a con stAbie wis dispatched to serve it. Mr. Harmer called T. Hopkins, who being sworn, sans he was a plc we frame Hod looking glass manufacturer, residing in Bridge -street. Mt. w a s about to examine this witness as to Ihe orderly demeanour of this meeting, when he teAs sropped by The Coroner, if further evidence of this kind were gone into there would be no end to the In got-sc. Mr. Harmer said, he wished to prove the as sault by the military. Coroner—Yo u have already proved it, and it has also been disproved. You say you have a hundred more witnesses to the fact. On the other side they say that they have hundreds to diSprove that fact. Mu. Ilarrrier—l challenge them to that disproof. I ,vis toll that evidence would be brought to prove that tSe military had been assaulted, .but that I should afterwares have an opportunity. of rt butting that evidence. Now, however, that they have one through all their. evidence, I am, prevented. Coroner—All ! • Barrow—No, no. Corotier—Mr. Ashworth asked - if I would al-. low itim to examine any more witnesses ; I de clined. though he said he had several others to bring forward.. Mr. Harmer—l thought that they contented themselves with the evidence of the constables. Mr Barrow said, it teas necessary to the health of the Court and the Jury, that some limit should be pu; to the loquest. About 13 years since, there was a case tried at Lancaster before the pre sent Lord Cbancellor of Ireland. It was a fitdiery ,case, it ; which there . were 150 witnesses on one side, and 120 oo the other. The judge said, that 'if such a number of persons were to be examined to the same Isets, there would , be nu eud to the. inquiry.; it would stop ell the other business of the Court. His Lordship observed, that he was ready to let the case proceed, provided the Coun sel on each side would select a certain number of witnesses in support of their cases. Now, if in this cese there -were to be 500 witnesses examined on the opposite.side, he (Nlr. Barrow) had also a considereble number to bring forward on his ;' and this would protract the Inquest, which bad a !ready lasted eight days, to an indefinite period. He had dealt fairly; he had called but a very small number of witnesses, and on the evidence of those witnesses he was satisfied to rest his case. But if other witnesses were called to prove the good order of ,the meeting, he also would feel himself• bound to call others also to prove the contrary. Mr. Harmer said, he was not moved from his determination. The case cited w a s no t anal,:- goes, •inasmuch as there the Judge said, " if the parties agree to select a certain number of wit nesses," shewing that lie himself had not the power of compelling them to make such selection, He pledged his memory that an agreement bad been made, by which he (Mr. 11) was to call evidence to rebut the testimouy of those who de- Peseti to the Cavalry having been first assaulted by the meeting. The Coroner said, that if Mr. Harmer was not satisfied with that part of his determination, he would allow a fixes.' umber of addi6onal witnesses to be called on each side, but he would not allow the Inquest to be prolonged ad infinitum, fur the amusement of Mr. Harmer or arty body else. Mr. Harmer--I assure you, Sir, it is not the slightest amusement to me. ' The Forethau of the Jury expressed a hope that the Inquest would not be needlessly prolonged ; several of the Jury were ill last night from their long attendance. Coroner 7 -Yet I was rather smartly observed upon for clearing the Court yesterday, in order to obtain air. Do you, Mr. Harmer; fix upon any motlerate number of witnesses to be examined, and a similar number shall be examined on the other side. Mr. Harmer—! will not enter into any cornpo• skims which is against the law. If I am not al lowed to examine witnesses upon this, I must go to some other paints or my case. Coroner--Very well; I told you my determi- ; you have had plenty of time to collect 414(1 examine your wiinesses. Mr. Harmer—l have tlium here. A Jaryntan observed that there kid been tuffiii dent evidence giVen alrrany. he examination of witnesses was proceeded in. 111 my Kinkina(i, weaVer, examined by Mr.' , Harmer--1 was on the field at the Mt-cling of the 16,i). I saw Mr. Fletcher Bolton; hear the lugs, with the constables. Were t h e Constaille tt ha het(' been Sent to serve the summons upon Daniel Astley, entered the, Court. Constable —Mr. Harmer, I have served thet summons personally Upon Astley; but he says be cannot attend. Mr. Harmer—Very well, I move that this con. stable be called in and sworn. [Constable sworn.] Mr. Harmer—What answer did Astley give when you served the summons upon him ? Con•table—Lie said he could fiot attend. 1%4r. Harmer—Did he assign any reason for his non.:•attendance ? Constable—Yes ; he said, that if he gave evi dence, and that his noble was to appear in %the papers, be would be , thrown out of bread and ruined. The Constable of the Court was then ordered to call Daniel Astley at the door by proclamation. The Constable returned and said that no one ai peered. Mr. - Harmer—Very well ; let him take the consequences. WitnesS resumedl saw ( 01. Fletcher strike several persons with A, staff; I saw the soldiers striking with their swords. Colonel Fletcher said, " be off from the field, or you will every one be killed." Cross-examined by Mr. Barrow- - -4 will not swear that Malty pCISMIS did not stop near the hustings, and would not go away. When Colonel F. was striking the people, I was fleeing towards Moseley -street, about 30 or 40 yards from the hustings. I had my back upon the hustings : I could see Colonel Fletcher, because I went past lino ; I was on the coach which Mr. Hunt came -in. When the Manchester Yeomanry had clear ed the hustings, 1 jumped from the coach, and ran away. What Colonel F. had said to the people before I passed him, 1 do not know. Mr. F. is a Magistrate ; 1 was first ordered yesterday to attend here. Mr. Baron, of Cocky Moor, or- tiered me to come^. I first told it to Mr. Baron. Mr. Baron is a statesman (meaning a person of estate). I cannot. tell whether Colonel Fletcher. was speaking violently or not. He struck some people bet I do .not know who they were. I can not say that those.'whom Mr.F. struck fell down. They did not appear to me to be very ill hum. He struck them with a staff ; I cannot say whe ther with a constable's staff or.a stick. He struck persons who were .running " away. He struck them over the back. I was not above half a ad mire in passing kim.' I was running as fast as the crowd would allow me. ,There was a vacant place, which was. cleared by the Manchester Yeomanry ; I cannot say how many he struck., He had his-eane.or staff in his hand. I know the difference betwixt a cane and_a staff, but will not swear which' it was. I will not swear whether be struck one or two. I will swear I saw burn strike one. I cannot swear lie was not advising them to go away. .1 do not know whether that was not his object. • Examined by. Mr.. Farmer--I would not have liked the blow trieselt. The vacant space h a d been cleared by th e cavalry. They had cleared it by galloping over.it. When Mr. F. was speaking in that manner lie had his staff or cane lined up [showing how]. Examined by the Coroner—The Manchester Yeomanry had reached the hustings when I went from the carriage. •When. I saw Mr. Fletcher I had proceeded 20 or 30 yards from the hustings. The carriage was four or five yards from the bus. .tin; s.-1 will swear Col. F. was not nearer the hustings thau 24 yards. I did not know any thing of John Lees. I cannot say Col. Fletcher was alone. I did not see any other Gentleman striking, hnt I know him particularly well. I saw him strike one than upon the hack and shoulders. The man fled from him in the way I did. I did not know whether be followed ur not, he was getting away. By a Juryman—Do you koow Col. Fletcher ? Witness—Yes, very well. Mr. Harmer—l wish to call Mr. Buckley, who was before examined, to a new fact. It appears, that one of the cavalry has told him who it was that fired the pistol. Coroner—Where will this end, if witnesses who have been examined are to be called a second time. Mr. Barrow,—Besides, if Mr. Buckley be called to a new fact, I shall feel it my (Lily to cross-ex amine him upon the whole or his evidence. Mr. Harmer—Undoubtedly, if you wish. I believe Mr. Buckley was not cross•examined br:fore. Co.roncr—My only objection is, that it is * procrasiinai;o9 of business of the Court. I must here observe, that from the time of my entering the Coon this morning I had openly taken notes. I was so situated that I thonght the Coroner must have seen me. The Coroner at length called to me, and the following dia lognc ensued : Coroner—Uow long have you been taking notes.? Reporter—Since the opening of the Court this morning. Coroner--Do you not know I have directed that no noles'sbould be taken Reporter—l rook notes yesterday in your vies•, and you did not prevent me. On one occasion I perceived you looking at me, and I held up my book, in order to ascertain if I had your permis sion. You did not say any thing. I concluded you bad no objection to my taking notes Coroner—What is your name ? Reporter—l gave my name. Coroner—You are here for Tl►e Times; Reporter-1 am not, Sir. Coroner [lookin g sharply at me]—l think you are. Reporter—l assure you, Sir, lam not: Coroner—For what P aper , t h en , are you %%ritiog ? Reporter.—For The Alorain4 Chronicle. ,"- I MeS \ M
