SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The long delay of the coroner's jury in bringing in a verdict on the body of the slaughtered police man affords opportunity, we regret to say, for much display of passion, by which the authority of tie de cision, be it what it may, will be much i mpa ired. If the police have been too ardent, there is also air ardour against them,—a zeal to give evidence, a captiousness of cross-examination , which we have never known on any preceding occasion. They are said to have beaten down men, women, and chil dren, with their staves or truncheons. If they have done sb, their conduct would be infamous; yet, though the appearance of one woman or child having been so beaten down before the jury would be unde niable evidence of the fact, no such person is pro duced. We do not defend the police : in their fear, probably, lest they should be deficient in their duty, or in the wanton consciousness of their strength, they have overacted their parts ; but who has suffered by their indiscretion ? Themselves more than any. No serious case of personal injury has been brought forward on the part of the mob; but, on the part of the police, one man has been slain, and two others wounded by daggers. W e were at first inclined to pay some attention to the evidence of Stallwood, though somewhat offi ciously obtruded. There was, we have heard, a per son of that name who get into the magistracy of the County, and was suddenly removed. If this be the ttnie person, which we do not knew, there is a mo tive calculated to give a colouring to his evidence. l in any case, however, the business on Monday was ill managed ; the ground should have been pre-oc cupied by a body of the police ; and the people calmly requested to disperse as they came up. Mr. tee, and Mr. Mee, and the other handful of " Con 's*Titionalists," might then have been, as they de served, taken into custody without the least diffi culty. The great body of the crowd, we suspect, knew nothing whatever about the meeting, but were persons casually passing on their ordinary bu siness.— Times. Sir Robert Peel took rather an unfair advantage of Mr. Cobbett last night. It is well known that the Hon. Member for Oldham has by turns advo cated and condemned every opinion, and praised and abused every man of any note. Sir Robert acting on his knowledge of this peculiarity of Mr. Cobbett, had taken the trouble to collect the ma terisls for his defence against Mr. Cobbett's motion from that gentleman's writings in the Register, that great storehouse of contradictions, so that he set the Mr. Cobbett of 1819 and subsequent years on the Mr. Cobbett of 1833. Mr. Cobbett pleaded hard for a duality of character—for a distinction between Mr. Cobbett the writer, and Mr. Cobbett the, legis lator; but Sir Robert insisted on his identity. The mode in which Sir Robert Peel attacked Mr. Cob bett was very edifying. Sir Robert more than in sinuated that the Hon. Member for Oldham was not sincere, either when he defended or when he attacked him. He seems to have borrowed the late Mr. Hazlitt's key to the character of the Hon. Member for Oldham. By continually writing in 'earnest, the public at last can guess, with to lerable accuracy, what a writer, who has been some time before them, will say on any particular question, and their curiosity to ascertain his views will b e impaired; but if, on the other hand, he adopt the maxim of never taking the same view of any question, or entertaining the same opinion of any man for two days together, their curiosity will be whetted to ascertain the opinions of each suc cessive day. It is merely applying the system of the advocate in Courts of Law to political questions. The advocate is constantly unsaying one day what he said the day before; his object is not to say what is true, but to make the most of the side on wide!) he happens for the time to be. Mr. Cobbett is a shrewd man. He knows that the public care more for themselves than for the character of the writer ; and that though the writer may imagine that it is of great importance to his own reputation that he should be consistent, the public are very little occupied with him, but a great deal with the excitement to be furnished to them. He very generously makes the public a sacrifice of all the advantage he might de rive from holding him in higher regard. But it is not given to every man to pursue this system with the same ability. We retention this lest in these hard times writers should take it into their heads that the surest way to success is to throw sincerity overboarti.That which, if cleverly done, may amuse ; if clumsily done may disgust ; and some of those who have acted on Mr. Cobbett's system have by no means shared his success.—Morning Chronicle. Last night was an unpropitious one for both the Whigs and Radicals, as our Parliamentary report will show. Mr. Roebuck, one of the latter class of politicians, fixed upon the Whigs the sigma of having fostered the seditious spirit when its wotk ings were favourable to their selfish purposes, which, now that it operates in a manner less convenient to themselves, they strive, per fas et nefas, to subdue. And the Radicals themselves were doomed in their turn to undergo a * humiliation scarcely less complete in the person of the only man of decent talent belong ing to their party, who, having had the temerity to venture upon an encounter with Sir R. Peel, was treated to as effective a castigation as any unfor tunate Radical ever endured. We abstain from I further comment or description.—Morning Post. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON R. CULLY. Yesterday evening Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, and the Jury again assembled at the Calthorpe Arms, pursuant to adjournment, to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Robert Cully, the policeman, who was stabbed while the police force were dispersing the people in Cold bath-fields on Monday. The banners, pikes, and other weapons, which had been captured by the police, were laid upon the table in the room. Mr. M'William, a magistrate of the county, was present. Superintendent Baker addressing,'the Coroner, said he bad to produce, by order of the Secretary of State, the pro• clamation of the Right Hon. Secretary, to prevent the meeting from taking place, and which was posted in every di►ision of the metropolis, and also a placard, calling a meeting of the Union of the National Convention, both of which he begged might be first read. A Juryman asked if the proclamation was signed by any person - The documents were then banded round to the Jury for their inspection. The CORONER said it was merely signed " By order of the Secretary of State." Mr. Biker's evidence as to the receipt of those two printed bills was then taken. He received the copy of the proclamation from the Commissioners of Police. He had directions to post copies of them throughout the St. James's division, which was done. He had seen them posted also in divisions C, D, E, and F. He had seen many of the placards, calling the meeting, distributed and seed about his division, at a penny a piece, but by whom they were sold he did not know—be only beard they were sold. Com:wait—Do you know anything about these fligs, and where they came from ? Witness—l was requested yesterday to produce these gs. Hurt a one, an American flag (the staff of which was broken). Here is also a tricoloured fig, with a bee-hive, and the motto " Equal rights and equal laws-- N. U. (National Union) 59." A black flag, with Death's bead and bones, and " Liberty or death " for the motto. The next was a small flag, with the bee-hive bundle of stick s and hands united ; he also produced a spear handle or " maceroni" (we believe they are called, the bead of which is fitted to receive a pike). One flag (the American) was taken in Calthorpe-street, when two of the police were stabbed. One of the Jury remarked that there appeared nothing formidable in those flags. Witness (by a Juryman)--On e of my superior officers wasofficers was on the ground at the time of the fray. pressed to name who it was.) I saw Colonel Rowan in Gray's Inn-lane-road on horseback. I don't know tv h,_ they Lord Melbourne was in the neighbourhood or not. I received my orders from Mr. Mayne and Col. Rowan. By the CORONER—These flags were taken on the round on Monday. The whole of my orders emanated from the Commissioners of Police. Several of the Jury here interposed, and complained that several witnesses were s ubj ec t e d to annoyance from certain parties ; they hoped that the Coroner would Opp orders for their accommodation and protection, in ordet the ae witnesses might be insulted by the other side. The Coroner indignantly asked what was meant by "sides," he knew of no side, and he hoped the Jury would not al low their minds to be biassed by any feeling for either side, but that they would keep their minds free from pre judice. As to the witnesses, he had no authority to order a portion of any man's house to be set apart for the witnesses, but they could wait in an adjoining room. A Juror here suggested that if any reporters had any thing to state they should now be examined, as he under- Stood the evidence yesterday given by a person named Kent, would be completely contradicted. Mr. Courtney, a reporter for the Courier, then stated, that from Mr. Stallwood's balcony, be had wit nessed the whole proceedings, and should be able to con tradict the gross fabrications and misstatements which had been made. Other reporters were also in attend ance, and would give similar testimony. Mr. Courtney was then sworn, and gave the follow ing evidence—He attended as reporter to the Courier, the meeting in Spa-fields on Monday last. Was on the ground soon after twelve o'clock. At that time there were several crowds of persons assembled. The greater part of them, until the Committee had arrived on the ground, were listening to a preacher. There were then about 200 or 300 persons. I spoke, as did the gentleman who was with me, to several persons on the ground to ascertain their feelings, but none of them seemed desirous of participating in the business of the meeting. The principal persons were loiterers gathered round a show or ginger-beer stall, not more numerous than I have seen on those grounds on Mondays. Passing over those grounds, I should not consider a meeting was to be held there unless it had been previously advertised. Towards 2 o'clock the crowds increased ; after 2 o'clock they appeared to me to diminish so fast that I thought there would be no meeting. I saw a number of persons go down Calthorpe-street, and I followed them, meaning then to go home. In Gray's Inn-lane the people who had gone off the ground had joined another crowd ; they were standing opposite a stable, and were hooting the police. I was there joined by other gentlemen who had been with me in the morning, and I was informed that the committee intended to meet. I then returned to the ground, and found that the crowd had comide rale!), increased. There were, perhaps, more than 2,000 persons present—certainly not 3,000. I then made it my first business to ascertain if there was any disposition to resist, if the police made any effort to clear the ground. It was discussed very loudly and generally whether the chair should be taken or not. Se veral cried "Go home," " The police." Others cried " Stand firm." There was some cheering in a remote part of the crowd, and way was made for three or four persons coming from Bagnigge-wells-roads. I understood those persons to be the committee, and they were followed by several others. I was then standing at the piling, close by the caravan in which I understood that hustings were to he placed. The committee, on entering the caravan, hesitated for a minute or two. A boyish-looking person, named Lee, jumped into the caravan first, took off his hat, and was loudly cheered by the crowd. He was followed by two or three other persons, who also ascended the cara van, and they were also cheered. Whilst the cheers were continuing, there appeared to be some altercation amongst themselves. The caravan was driven or led off towards Calthorpe•street. The crowd was then principally within the pilings in the field ; there were very few outside the paling where the caravan stood. It was said by several who were standing near me that the police had taken the caravan, and not twelve persons followed it. As the caravan went off there was much laughing, and I mention this to show that there was no intention on the part of the people to resist the police. In Calthorpe•street the committee leaped out of the caravan, and one of them, whose name I understand is Lee, stood with his arm round the wooden post of a lamp. Lee was cheered by the crowd. He said " Will you hold this meeting or not, as you have a right to do ?" The crowd cheered, and several said, "We will,—go on." " Then," he said, " Let me propose that Mr. Mee take the chair." He put the question formally, and a great number of hands were held up. There was cheering and laughing; and some cried out, jokingly, "The police !" Mee stood upon the paling, and returned thanks for the honour of being chosen chairman of so respectable a meeting. There was laughing and cheering, but Mee was very pale and agitated. He said, " I call you respectable, not because you have chariots, and equipages, and pensions from the Govern ment, but because you are the producers of all the wealth of the country." At this time the crowd had decreased considerably, and there appeared to be a sort of panic in that part of the meeting where I was, and the noise pre vented me from hearing all the remaining part of what M-e said ; but I could hear him say, " Stand firm to one another, but don't break the peace ;" and he said, " I am a poor man, and I have a family ; if I stand by you, you must promise to stand by me ; if I go to prison, you must support my wife and family." At this time there was much cheering in Calthorpe street ; and looking down that way I saw a party approaching with banners; I was particularly struck with this; for, having been toll that that procession was the Union, I could not help remarking that there were very few persons who took part in the proceedings. The number i f persons following those with the banners must have been very considerable. Some persons cried out, " The police are coming !" and three or four gentlemen connected with the press, who were with me, immediately left the spot, and went to the steps of Mr. Stallwood's door. Two young women, without bonnets, who appealed to be pass ing from one house to the other, and who seemed very much frightened, begged us to open a swing gate to let them in, which we did, and they went upon the steps...— Some one infortned that gent'eman who we were, and he admitted us up stairs to the balcony. It was not from any feeling of fear that I went there, but for the conve nience of view, for I felt assured that there was not the least fear of a provocation to violence.. As we passed the girls they seemed much alarmed, and I begged them not to he frightened. I afterwards saw these girls struck by the policemen of the division that came up Calthorpe street—l believe Mr. Baker's. When I reached the bal cony, and looked down Calthorpe-street, the people had separated into two distinct lines. The middle of the street was quite clear, from the corner house where I was down to the end of the street next Gray's Inn-road, where then a large body of the police were drawn across the street. There was not then a human being in the high-road that could find footing on the path-way. Before that body of the police marched,their line appeared to have been broken. The middle of the street was quite clear. Whilst they halted, the crowd near the place where the banner-men stood gave way on each aide, making a clear opening to that place. At this time I saw three other large bodies of the police march ing in the same way ; one body took the whole breadth of the street at the east end of Caithorpe-street (Gou 4h-street). In that direction I saw a great number of persons running down towards the spot where the meeting had first been held. There was another body of police in a sort of street, with a green spot before the houses, on my left, as I stood in the balcony. They too made towards the spot where the meeting was held, as if it was their object strictly to close that passage. From the Bagnigge-wells road, at time back of the prison, another very large body of police advanced in very close order, but very widely ex tended. I think the front rank must have consisted of 60 or 70 men. At this time the body at the end of Calthorpe street marched on without the slightest interruption from any of the crowd. These four different bodies were moving in this manner simultaneously. The body in Calthorpe street, having halted but a very short time, as 1 said, marched on steadily, and without any interruption that I saw, except the disorder which the men at the end of the file occasioned by striking those of the people who stood nearest on the foot-way. Before they reached the end of the street I had seen several persons struck, and I cried out " Shame, shame !" I said, " This looks ill; they have blocked up every passage." I said this to a person near, and wrote it down at the time. When the division coming up Calthorpe-street reached the end of that street a rush was made by the leader of the division, who stood in the centre of the front, and several of the front men rushed with him to the banner-men. The crowd bad given way in all directions. The division was broken by the rush made by the front rank towards the banner-men, and the others were in confu sion. The banners were almost instantly seised, and there appeared to be a sort of scuffle there. The remain der of the division commenced striking men, women, and boys, without distinction and without mercy. The two girls who stood on Mr. Stallwood's steps were repeatedly struck. Ido not say the blows were aimed at them, but they reached them. In the very beginning, almost at the instant ti at the banners were seized, I saw three police men just under me, a little round the corner, strike one man who was running away, each of them several blows on the head, until he fell senseless upon the ground.— (Here there were loud cries of " Shame ! shame !" throughout the jury -room.) He fell with his head doubled under him, and lay there still senseless until I left the balcony. I cried out " Shame, shame! let the man selves. tun, you rascals." One of them shook his truncheon at me, and called out, " You you shall catch it too. I was near fainting, and we.s obliged to go into the drawing-room to . recover myself. Juror—l suppos e you were frightened, Sir? Witness—l certainly was appalled at what I saw. There could not he at this time less than thirty persons within my view lying wounded on the ground. The screaming and cries of " Shame, shame," continued, and I returned to the balcony. Crowds were still running in every di rection—the police pursuing and beating. and men and women falling. At a very short dis'ance from the house where I was, I saw a policeman beating a decently dresse.i elderly woman.—(Cries of " Shame" from the Jury.) She was screaming violently, and a gentleman who was next to me on the balcony said to me, " Courtney, we cannot stand this. See that rascal boating that woman." He then ran down stairs, and I folio ved him. Mr. Car penter and I ran to the spot, where the policeman was still pushing the woman, and holding her at the same time. He held her by the shoulder, and pushed her in her side by his truncheon at the same time. When I spoke to him he raised his truncheon and threat. ened to strike me. I think Mr. Carpenter held his arm, but I do not know, for my attention was taken up with the woman. She was crying bitterly, and could scarcely walk. As I led her away, she turned round repeatedly and abused the policeman. She called him a murdering villain, and other very abusive names. She was in great excitement and grief, and evidently in bodily pain. I left her with a man who came up, and whom she appeared to know. In reply to the Jury he said if the police bad not in terfered there would have been no rioting or breach of the peace. It is nonsense to say that any opposition Was made to the progress of the police. I saw no bricks or stones, or missiles of any kind, thrown. I say that the attack on the people by the police was wanton and brutal, and without any provocation. Mr. Jame. Grant, of 115, Jermyn-street—Having seen the placards calling the meeting to be held on Monday last in Coldbath-fields, I went there about one o'clock, to re port the proceedings for the Morning Advertiser, and saw a great number of people. When the police ap peared, Mee put the question, whether they should pro ceed or adjourn to a more convenient place. Very few called out adjourn, and the greater part said, " Go on, go on." He said, "Don't say " Go on" unless you are prepared to support my wife and family with a tenth part of your earnings." I heard no promise made by the crowd. I observed that he turned pale on seeing the police ap proach, and my opinion was, that he did not wish to be seen by the police. A few seconds after he had uttered . . the last words I saw the police surround the hustings and attack the people indiscriminately in a most ferocious manner. The people ran as fast as they could, and in a very few minutes the ground seemed cleared. The police appeared to attack men, women, and children, with out the slightest discrimination. At the same time, in ano her part of the ground, some policemen were engaged i❑ striking a woman, and the people cried " Shame, shame; don't strike a woman." I saw nothing of the man that was killed. I saw no disposition on the part of the people to oppose the police. lam of opinion that no dis turbance would have taken place if the police had not interfered. Mr. William Carpenter, of Penlington-place, Lambeth, sworn—l am editor of the True Sun evening newspaper. I arrived at the ground about a guar ter before one o'clock, and then there were very few persons assembled at that time. About a quarter before two, understanding that a committee of the Union of Working Classes, by whom I understood the general meeting to be called, was sitting at the Union Tavern, I went there and addressed the com mittee, urging to them the propriety of not persisting in holding the meeting. I represented to them that the avowed object of the meeting was to form a Na tional Convention, which was decidedly illegal, and it was not likely that any Government would sit down quietly and permit such a meeting to take place. They avowed different objects, and I left them, and went to the ground again. I. saw the committee again, and it was then stated that the police were in waiting in the neighbourhood, and that the military were also under arms. When this information was given it was sad they would proceed to the ground, but that if the police interfered they (the committee) would at once dissolve the meeting and retire. The witness then went on to describe the occurrences in Calthorpe-street, nearly as Mr. Courtney and Mr. Grant had done. He added, ti at he joined in the cry of " Shame ! shame !" which was raised at seeing the police beat the people indiscriminately, and Mr. Stallwood came to us and begged us to cease crying out, as he was a magistrate of the county. He af terwards, however, joined in the cry himself. The peo ple were trying to get away, but in doing so were beaten by the police. He saw, he was sorry to say, several in stances of persons who were prostrate on the ground being beaten with great violence by the police as they lay. At the doors of No. 13 and 14, in Calthorpe-street, a con siderable crowd had collected, of persons who had evi dently got there to keep out of the way, and the police attacked them, seized several by the collar, and struck them in what witness should call a very ferocious manner. They told them to go off about their business, and poked them with their staves. During this time Mr. Tnomas, the superintendent, came up the street alone, and seized a gentleman by the collar in a very rude way, and told him to go abcut his business. The gentleman went one way, and Mr. Thomas another. Witness saw the police attack and heat an elderly female (as described by Mr. Courtney). By the Foreman of the Jury—My decided impression was, that no disturbance would have taken place but for the attack by the police. I saw no stones thrown by the people at all. Thy people were not armed with bludgeons. The gentleman seized by Mr. Thomas was merely stand ing quietly in the street. I saw a partial struegle for the possession of the flag, but I considered the attack of the police upon the people perfectly unprovoked and uncalled for, and I cried out " Shame !" very loudly. Mr. W. L. F. De Roos, of No. 3, Park-place, St. James's, brigade major on the staff of the cavalry, said— On Monday last, in consequence of a communication which took place between the Home Department and the Com mander of the Forces, I was directed to accompany Colonel Rowan, one of the commissioners of police, taking two military officers with me, in order to obtain the earliest information, and send it to the Horse Guards, and also to send to the regiment desired to be in readiness, in case the commissioner should require military assistance, in the event of the civil power not being sufficient. About half-past one o'clock I went with Colonel Rowan to Busbridge's livery stables. I accompanied him into a room, the window of which looked into Gough-street, and the empty space at the back of the House of Correction. From this window I saw an assem blage of people. I came down into the yard, and found the police formed in two bodies, one at the Gray's Inn lane gate, and the other at the Gough-street gate; a large body of the police were assembled, and Colonel Rowan was speaking to them. I heard him direct them to he as tem. perate as possible, and to endeavour to secure such only as were leaders, and offered resistance. I went out into Gough-street, with one of the military officers with me. Neither he nor I was in military costume at the time. I saw the police come out of the gateway by which I was standing. They moved with great silence and regularity towards the banners. I accompanied them to within 60 yards of the lamp-post where the speaker was standing. I then stopped. As they went forward they appeared to me to meet with considerable resistance, and a violent struggle took place for the banners. A great num. her of persons passed me, m unning down Gough street, and met with no obstruction from the police. I saw no women coming out of the crowd. As near as I could judge the resistance made to the police was overcome by them in about four or five minutes. I then saw them bring into the yard several persons whom they had captured. I went into the yard and despatched an officer to the Horse Guards to say that I considered the disturbance as terminated. I examined the banners and found among them two lances, exactly cor responding with the description of those recommended in a book called " Defensive Instructions to the People," by Colonel Maceroni.—(The witness produced a copy of the work, in which there were drawn descriptions of the dif ferent weapons recommended to be used.) The one in question was called the foot lance." Those captured were of the same form precisely, but they had not the spike at the end. 1 call them in a military sense " lances," al though they have not the blade fixed in them. Several of the Jury said they could not be lances with out the blades. The Witness—l consider that an ink-stand without a top is still an ink-stand. The Foreman—But it would be of little use without a pen. You might as well say that a man without a bead is still a man. The witness, after an angry altercation with some of the jury, qualified his statement by calling it " part of a lance." By the Jury—l swear that I saw no women in the crowd. The Foreman.—Was there any di spos i t i on on t h e part of the people to create a breach of the peace ? Witness—l conbider the civil power was resisted when they attempted to seize the banners. Foreman—But was there before the police appeared ? Witness—No ; because they had no one to throw at sr to fight with, and they would not fight with them- CORONER—Was there any act of violence committed before the police made their appearance ? Witness—Not that I saw. Juror—Did you see any stones thrown ? Witness—l did not see any hands raised, but I saw atones in the air, perhaps about 20 altogether. At 1 o'clock this morning the inquiry was adjourned until 5 o'clock this day. The proceedings appeared to excite the greatest interest. The jury-room was crowded to excess, and a great num l'er of persons stood in front of the house during the whole of the evening. Several witnesses remain to be examined, cud it is expected that the inquiry will occupy some days- The jury, most of whom took notes of the whole of the proceedings, appeared to take a more lively in terest in the investigation than is usually evinced by per sons in their situation. The following is a list of the jurors sworn, with their residences and occupation•. The names are from the official list placed before the Coroner when the jurors were empannelled : Samuel Stockton, baker, Cromer-street (Foreman). John Spalding, baker, Chichester-Place.

EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF FURSEV, ON THE CAPITAL CHARGE OF STABBING TWO OF THE POLICE. At half-past 1 o'clock yesterday, George Fursey, who stood charged with having stabbed police sergeant Brookes, and constable Redwood, both of the C division of police, in Calthorpe-street, on Monday last, was placed at the bar at Bow-street, before Sir F. Roe, Mr. Minshull, and Mr. Halls. He is a tall muscular man, apparently about 28 years of age, of pale complexion, having a long thin face, and high cheek bones. His appearance was that of a decent mechanic. He was perfectly collected throughout the examination, and although he watched the evidence with great anxiety, he betrayed no symptoms of fear, notwithstanding the direct testimony of the prosecutore, and the serious nature of the charge of which he is accused. Police sergeant John Brookes, of the C division of police, was the first witness brought forward. He was obliged to be led into the office, and appeared to have suffered severely from the wound he had received. He was or dered a chair in front of the bench, and gave his evidence as follows : I am a sergeant in the C division of police, and was on duty on Monday the 13th inst., at about three o'clock, on the Calthorpe Estate, Gray's-inn-road. I was at the bead of my division, which was advancing towards the open ground. The mob were approaching towards us. The man who struck me was at the head of the mob. He carried an American flag in his left hand, and kept his right hand down against the back part of his thigh. Wh en we got close to the mob Redwood advanced to seize the flag. 1 did not move from my place, neither did I raise my truncheon previous to this, but seeing Redwood's ob ject I rushed forward also to seize the colours, and at that moment the man who held them raised his right hand and struck me on the left side with a dagger. To the best of my belief the dagger now produced is the one with which the prisoner struck me. It had brass round the guard as this has On being struck INI back a few paces, and turned again on hearing Redwood exclaim that he was wounded. Is iw him struggling with the man. I then b..came faint, and walked away. I saw the man by whom I was wounded in custody about two hours after. Henry Chance Redwood came forward with his left arm tied up. He stated that he was a private in the C division of police, and was with his division on Monday last, about three o'clock, in Calthorpe-street. He was in front, and observed the prisoner at the head of the mob, holding the .American colours in his left hand. He went forward to seize them, and heard the last witness exclaim, " Oh !" Witness said to the prisoner, " My friend, you must give me up those colours." He replied, " I shan't," or, " I won't." Witness then told hint, if he did not give them up he would take them from him, and imme dia'ely seized the colours with both hands. A scuffs then ensued, and instantly witness saw the prisoner raise his right hand, with something in it resembling a blade, about six or eight inches long, with a sharp point. Wit ness then let go the flag-staff, and put up his left arm to ward off the blow, when he received a stab between the wrist and elbow of his left arm. He let go the colours immediately, and with his right band seized the prisoner by the left collar. Henry Holland saw his brother constable Redwood struggling with the prisoner. The colours were lying on the ground beside them. Witness received the prisoner from Redwood, and with the assistance of James Compton, C 67, conveyed him to a stable-yard near the corner of Calthorpe-street. They never let go of the prisoner until they gave him into the custody of other constables, and placed him in one of the stables. Rooert Newman Sanders, K 76, was on duty in Cal thorpe-street, in plain clothes, at three o'clock on the day mentioned, when the police were advancing against the mob. Saw the prisoner at the bar carrying the American colours. He was seemingly taking the lead of the mob. When the cry of " Police" was raised, a general confusion took place, and the witness heard the pri soner call upon the people to stand, and not be cowards, adding, that if they would follow him he would show them what he would do. He then flourished an instrument over his head, and waving the fl ig, ex claimed, " Death or Liberty!" The instrument which the prisoner carried was similar to the one now produced, and witness believed it to be the same weapon. This evidence closed the case against the prisoner. Sir F. ROE then asked him if he wished to say anything in his defence against what the witnesses had stated. Prisoner-1 have nothing more to say than that the last man who gave evidence against me ought to be tried for perjury. 11,a evidence is quite entirely false, except with regard to the colours, which I admit having had. Th e prisoner added, that he had nothing more to b ay in hi defence at present. The prisoner was then fully committed to take his trial at the Old Bailey sessions now holden on the capital charge of unlawfully, feloniously, and maliciously stabbing John Brookes and Henry Chance Redwood with intent to do them some bodily injury, and the several witnesses were bound over to give evidence. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, in order to be conveyed to Newgate on the arrival of the van. Robert Coltman, a baker, was then brought forward, charged with having taken part with the mob in Cal thorpe•street, on Monday last. The prisoner was the man who was heard to say, when a female asked him if he had seen the murdered man Cully, " Yes, I saw hint lying dead, and kicked his -." Sir F. ROE told the prisoner that he:had ordered him to find bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each, not b 0 much from the beastly expression he had used as the inference which might be drawn from it, that be went to the ground to take part in the riot. A police constable bad since then identified him as being armed with a bludgeon, and within a few yards of the man who had just been committed to take his trial on a charge which affected his life. Under these circumstances he (Sir F. Roe) must call for increased bail. The prisoner was then directed to find two sureties in 801. each, and to give bail himself in 160/., to take his trial, nut at the sessions, but in the Court of King's Bench. The Magistrate further informed the prisoner that the recognizances would bang over him for 12 months. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, and we understood that be put in the sureties required. 'The two brothers named Tilley were brought from the House of Correction, but sent back again without under• going a re-examination. They will remain in prison until they find bill, and it was intimated, that in every case in which parties were held to bail on these charges, they would be tried in the Court of King's B•nch, on the first day of the ensuing term. All accounts agree in stating that the apple trees throughout Somerset afford a flattering prospect of an abundant crop. The bud is considered, in most in stances, too firmly fixed to be affected by a May frost, or cold winds, should either occur. The price of cider in the South Hams has consequently fallen to about 351. per barrel.— Sherborne Journal. The epidemy known on your side of the Channel by the name of " Influenza," and which the Pa risians call " La Grippe," has lately become very trouble some here, in spite of the truly beautiful weather and steady temperature that we bane baen enjoying since the close of the last month. It is calculated that there are at this moment about 100,000 individuals in Paris who are under the influence of this strange disorder.—Paris Cor respondent of the Times. SERVICE AFLOAT.—This work comprises taco narratives of the most interesting kind. The first is wholly devoted to the professional career of a naval officer employed most actively during the late war, and it will prove no common treat to the admirers of those romantic realities of which a sailor's life is made up, as it gives the most animated descriptions of cruising and fighting, and other operations in many regions of the world, in vessels of nearly all classes, sometimes with squadrons, and some times on detacb..d service, including several boat enter prises of cutting out, &c. The second narrative contains an account of the lats exploratory expedition to the Western Coast of Africa, of which country it furnishes many new and curious details. THE KING'S LEVEE, &c.
