The Jury being sworn, proceeded with the Coroner's Clerk to examine the body, and a more shocking spectacle never presented itself to my view. The wliole of the back exhibited symptoms of mortification, and the right arm was dreadfully cut, evidently by some sharp instrument. On the return of the Jury to the public-house where the inquest was held, Mr..Harrcer, addressing himself AO the Cvr,oncr's Clerk, h asked. wether the ,Jury had been s horn • • offence.. About half-past twelve, Mr. Harmer, accom panied by Mr. Henry Dennison, solicitor of Li verpool, with several noted Oppositi ortists of Manchester, came into Court.. T hey waited some time, as the Magistrates wee engaged in their priVate-roont . . Ott Mr. Norris's coming upon -a§ g- x,:- The Oats to be good, sweet, dry, and clean, without any "li.rture of Foxy or Mowburnt Oats, and must not weigh less 14 " 37 pounds per Winchester Bushel; the Hay to be sweet a*/ dry, and delivered in Trusses of i sGlbs. weight ; the Straw to be good, clean, and dry Wheat or Bye Straw, and delivered in Trusses of 36lbs. weight.

For►►nately the persons who had in flicted the wounds could. be identified. He, there fore, requesteJ warrants to issue against then, for V . e~ n' Ors being told that they were, be requested to know their names, to which the Coroner's Clerk replied, " I shan't tell you ; what is your name 1" cutting.

Mr. Nottitis—Ain I understaud you that you are applying Against the same parties? Mr. HARmEtt—lCertaioly : several are the same. Mr. Non a opinion is 1116i1 decisively that such 4 '' should nut now be made ; but as there are other Magistrates in an adjoining room, I somild wish no consult with thew. At the same time I must beg to say, it is Oot from any want of determination whatever' on my natl. Mr. Norris then withdrew, and returned in about a minute to the Bench, accompanied by Mr. - Holton, Mr. Wright, Mr. Fletcher, and Mr. Marriott. Mr. NORRIS addressed Mr. - Hartner.• Now, Mr. Harmer, I will state your application again in the presence of these Magistrates, and it wrong in any particular, you will set me right. Mr. Norris then stated to his fellow Magistrates what the effect of Mr. Harmer's application was. Mr. HARMRR merely observed, in addition, that upon these cases he had further evidence than what had been laid befo,re . the Grand Jury. Mr. Nomus—Your application is a most extra orftinat y one, because a tribunal of a higher na ture has already detvrrained it. Our granting a war rant would only he to commit the parties to a Grand Jury, which has already decided the matter and it would be an Litt of supererogation for us btlaw, i'utl an intrnsioli the most impertinent, if we s hoolo venture, after A Grand Jury has heard the evidence, to commit contrary to.their decision. 1 feel it as an application that never occurred .be t Ore. It a bill of indictment had been preferred for murder, which the Jury had rejected, are we to' column notwithstanding 1. It is not consistent with British justice that such an application shonld be received. My brother Magistrates quite concur in opinion with rue. The Magistrates, except Mr. Norris, then left Court. Mr. Haastett addressed him agnin.—Then I ion to understand you reject the application Ott the ground that it has already been before the Grand Jury. Mr. Nottars - -Yes. Mr. HARMSR-4 must, then, apply to you , to bear some cases whiclrhsve noLbeen before the Jury. Mr. Nonnts—l will consult with my brother Magistrates upon the 'subject shortly ; but at pre sent there are many • persons in Court, whose business I will determine. 1 will let you know when I am ready to hear you further. Mr.l-IARMER--.1 wish to know, now, the amount of bail thwt will be required for Wroe's Alen; who are in custody for. vending a libel. Mr. NORRIS Withdrew to consult with the others upon this pOint, Ind an returning, into Court with them said, I'have taken the oportn pity of consulting now upon the pmpbsition as the parties whose cases hdve not been before the Grand Jury. We feel ourselves particularly cir eumstahced in the luisiness, and under these cir cumstances we, the Magistrates present, decline anyturther! investigation. Mr. HARMER-1 will • perhaps then be necei sary.l should apply to sOrt►e other Magistrate. 1. should wish w know the names of these p.relsent. Mr. Norris gare the names, and Mr-Harmer, then bowed and retired. The two men whom Mr. Harmer alluded to, were John Wroe and Peter Wrbe. They had been apprehended under a warrant from the Court of Assize upon a bill being found against them for selling certain late numbers of The Observer News paper. The warrant stated the charge to be for " having openly vended 'and published a false, wicked, malicious, scandalous, and seditious print ed libel, of and concerning divers of the 'Mi nisters and Magistrates of our Lord the King."— They were required to find bail, themselves in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each, which was done. We learn by accounts from Havannah of the 27th July, that the yellow fever which prevailed there to a very alarming extent, bad considerably, decreased in its virulence. The deaths were re duced to front 17 to 13 a day, having been a short time ago from '2O to 30 a day. Nothing had been heard there of the expedition which sail ed from Cadiz on the Nth June, consisting of 3000 men, under Gen, CAGIOAL. Mr. Harmer-141y name is Harmer. I presume, Sir, that you are the Coroner ? Clerk--'—No, I am not ; 1 am the Clerk of the Coroner, i\lr. Farr e n, who is 'at Lancaster, and I am come here to hold.the In q uest iu his stead. Mr. Harmer—Alloor rue to ask your name, Sir ? Clerk-1 shan't tell you ; I won't answer any questions-. Here some Gentleman observed, that he had no doubt the Jury themselves would have no objec tion to tell their n , ones. Clerk—No ; I desiie that the Jury may answer .00 questions. • A Gentleman then observed, that the name of the Clerk was Batty. Cleik—Yes, that is my name ; I shall not pro ceed-upon this Inquest now, 1 shall adjourn it till Farren comes. Mr. Harmer—When you had the Jury stun-. maned, and when you came here, was it not your intention to hold the Inquest ? Batty—Yes, it was my intention, for I was told by the constable that Lees was crushed to death, but from what 1 have seen since 1 came here, .1 will adjourn the Inquest. Ilarmer—lf you had not seen me here with :the witnesses, would you not have proceeded with the Inquest ? Batty—l will answer you no more questions ; and (pointing to a Gentleman who was taking notes at the table) I suppose I shall see all this in black and white' in the newspapers its a, few days. Harmer—Any Gentleman who acts conscien tiously and correctly need never be afraid of the .publicati . on of his conduct.,.Besides, this is an open Court ; any man is at liberty to publish any thing which -takes place here. Batty—lf Mr. Farren wasliere, lam snte that be would not allow one of you in the room. 1 - 4rmer—PleElse td put that down, Sir (addres sing himself to-the Gentleman taking notes). I beg to observe, Mr. Farren could nut legally ex clude Its ; fOr as this is a Public Court of Justice, ,to inquire into the cause of the death tifa fellow subject, who has met his death by violerree, if all the people of England could be so•compressed, they are entitled to be present in.this room. 1 have ample evidence here, Sir, to demonstrate that thn• deceased, upon whose case you are met to inquire, -is one of those who met-death at Man chester on the 16th ult. in consequence of the wanton anti outrageous incursion of the military upon an assembly of unarmed, unoffending peo ple. I . can most satisfactorily prove, by a host of evidence, that there was no prOvocatio,u, or legal right, or-even plausible-pretence, for the interfer: ence.of the military upon that occasion. - Batty—l shall ,adjourn the Court, and (ad dressing himself to the people) you must go out of the room. Harmer--Would it not be right, Sir, to era mine,the witnesses who are . preseot, and are come some distance to give their testimony Batty-1 shall adjourn the Court. Hardier-1 protest againzt `th'e adjoornment.r nnty be great diflieolry itr again collecting the evidence ; besides it may be material to iden tify the body, and it is in such a state that it can not remain long aticives &mind: " 1 'appeal to the Jury themselves, who irtiVe seen the 'lady, ,and every one of. whom bad his handkerchief to his nose whilst he remained in the room, which, indeed, I telt necessary myself. I appeal also to the Medical Gentleinen syho attended the , deceased since hs was woanded, and;have just examined the body. ' Mr. I3asnett and concurred in stating that the body was in such a state of pu .Refaction that it ought immediately to be in. (erred. . . Batty—Well then, 1 will adjourn the, Court for three . or four hours, and' send and fetch a Coroner. , . . Mr. Denison—Would it not be rather better, Sir, instead „of adjourning the Court, .that you should lake the deposirionS of the witnesies who ,are now present, and thus occupy the interval un til the arrival of the Coronet . ? Batty—l can have a Coroner in two or three hours. Denison—What Coroner do you purpose to send,for ? Battyr—l shell look out for Mr. barren, and every one who knows him will say that he is at. impartial men. • • • Harmer—No one expresses any doubt of the impartial character of Mr, Farren.

The Magistrate, however, without comment, told them they roust find security for their appearance at the Sessions, and nor being prepared so to do, they were locked up till the evening. Soon after seven 'o'clock; the Magistrate having again taken his seat on the Bench, the prisoners were brought in, and they produced bail, which, after a very close examine don, was accepted. Mr. Cathie was one of them; a nd when he offered himself, the following die- Jove took place : Magiatiate—" Well, Mr. Carlile, are you come here to be bail for this person ?" (Whitchorn.) Mr. Carlile—" I am." Magistrate—" Can yon swear that you art worth 50/. after the payment of all your debts a nd recognizances i" Mr. Carlile—" I can.", 1118,-gistrate—" This is a serious business, Mr. Carlile, and it is necessary for me to be particular with you.

Magistrate—" Then altogether your recogni• zances amount t 0,17501. 1" Mr. Carlile—" I am aware that they do." Magistrate—" You are upon your oath, Mr. Carlile ; and can you venture to swear that, after the payment of all your just debts, and'the faction of all these recognizances, that you are worth 501..?" . Mr. Carlile—" I can swear that I am worth 20001. atter satisfaction of all these things." Magistrate—" Are you aware of the offence with which :this person is charged—it is for a se. ditions libel i - - Mr. Caqile—" am myself the author of that seditious libel, at you call it, Sir, and of course perfectly aware of it." His bail was then accepted with the others, and the-pasties were about to leave the office, whelythe Clerk made, the usual demand of 2s. 4d. for tees from each defendant, which they Seve rally 'refused. td pay ; and the Clerk observing that they would be suthmoned for it hereafter, :Carlile replied, '' Then we can• : try the lc+ gality of the demand ; in the mean time I should resist the payment." Here the conversation ceas ed and the parties ilithed.
