RLEUCTIOZ4S, &e. IN THE CIVIL DEPARTMENTS The LORDS of the TREAsuRY, by their minute, dated the 10th inst., have directed that the Heads of all the Civil Departments shall he on to revise the establishments of their Departments respectively, with a view to the .-adoption of Economical Reductions. Their Lord ships state the principles which have been acted up'm, and the course follov,,d, in revising the fstaLlishrmnt of the Treasury, and in forming a ne.,l i.._•:itablit.h:nent, which course they recommend for adoption by all the other Departments. From these arrangements ; it appears :—That every office is to be restored to the same situation, in respect to the number of persons employed, and Their respective emoluments, as in 1797, unless some adequate cause shall have rendered an alteration necessary :—That where the increase of business has required new offices, or the enlargement of old ones, the emoluments of the new situations are to be rendered as nearly as possible the same as those of similar situations in 1797 :—That if any Office, which existed in 1797, is now no longer necessary, or is capable of reduction, it shalt either be abolished, or reduced in value, as the case may admit. Proceeding on these rules, the Lords of the Treasury have made a careful comparison of the Establishment of the Treasury, as it existed in 1797, and as it now exists ; and having found that a very large increase had taken place, both in respect of the number of persons employed, and of the amount of their emoluments in some parts of the office, they di rected the plan to be prepared of the New Establi.shmeat, in which no greater number of of ficers is retained than is necessary for the execu tion of the I);.isiness of the Treasury in its pre sent state, (enlarged as it has been by the incor poration of the whole business of the Irish Trea sury, as well as greatly increased in other re spects), .and in which the entolurzzents of each -class of officers are as nearly assimilated to those of corresponding situations in 1797, as different circumstances will admit. Such a plan having been prepared, their Lordships have directed that the New Establishment shall take effect from the sth of January next, with this provi sion, that all officers, whose situations are not to be abolished, are to be permitted to retain their present emoluments (subject to certain payments to the New Superannuation Fund), until by pro elation,. or allowance far length of service, they sh.all become entitled, under the new regulations, to salaries at least equal to those which they now ,possess. • • SUPERANNUATION.-Witha view of limiting the Superannuation branch of the Public Expendi- Lure in the Civil Departments, the Lords of the Treasury, by their minute, dated the 10th inst., have declared their opinion, that those officers themselves who may hereafter enjoy the benefit of Superannuation Allowances, shall be called upon to contribute to a Superannuation Fund, to be administered under the direction of their Lordships. Under these regulations, all officers, having salaries and pecuniary emoluments, amounting together, after revision, to 100/. per annum ) or upWards ) and who are entitled to su- perannuatiou under the Act 50th, Geo. 3, are to contribute 5 per cent. of such salaries or emolu- rnents to a fund to be called the " General Su perannualian Fund." The per centage to be taken from emoluments not amounting to 1001. per annum, is not yet determined.—ln addition to the above rate of 5 per cent., a further contribution of 2} per cent. is to be. taken from persons in possession of emolu rnr.,nts which have been increased since 1797, and which exceed 1001. a year, and are under .5601. a year, in consideration of those persons being allowed to retain their present emoluments, AIW-1 by promotion or other wise they become en titled to emoluments at least equal to those - which they now enjoy, when the additional 24 per cent. contribution is to cease. The additional contribution from 5001. a year and not exceeding 1,0001. a year, to be 5 per cent.; and from all cawluments, exceeding 1,000/. a year, to be 10 per cent.--provided that the increase of such respective emoluments since 1797 shall have been not less than double the amount of the ad ditional contribution required. The contribu tions are to be collected at the time the salaries are payable, and paid into the National Debt office, in order to be forthwith vested in public securities. The annual amount of superannuation ]sayable to retired servants of the public, who may contribute to this fund, is at n, time to exceed 10 per cent. of the aggregate amount of the emoluments of all the officers so con- tributing ;—one half of such superannuation to be paid from the new fund, and the other half by the public. No superannuation is to be granted to any contributor, except by the Treasury, at a special board to be held four times a year, for the. purpose of consi dering applications. If the aggregate sum now paid in superannuations shall be found to exceed one-tenth of the aggregate emoluments of all the officers, the new .superannuations to beigranted in any one year shall not exceed one half of the saving occasioned by the lapse of allowances in the preceding year, until the whole sum shall be reduced to or under 10 per cent. on the aggre gate amount of emoluments. Their Lordships are further of opinion that it will be proper to propose to Parliament to repeal the several rates of allowance enact©d by the 50th Geo. 111. and to substitute the following in lieu thereof : .A.bove 10 years service, and not exceed. 15, 4-12ths of the salary. 15 - - 20, 5-12ths 20 - - - 25, 0-l2ths 25 - - - - 30, 7-I2ths 30 - - - 35, 8-12ths 40, 9-12ths 45, 10-12ths 50, 11-i2ths 50, the whole. and exceeding Their Lordships reserve the power of depart- ing from this scale in extraordinary cases sub ject, however, to laying such cases before Parlia ment, together with a Report of the circum stances which shall have led their Lordships to make the exceptions. FATAL AFFRAY atCUMBERLAND GATE ADJOURNED INQUEST ON GEORGE FRANCIS. FIFTH DAY. At four o'clock yesterday the Inquest on G. Francis was continued. Mr. Jackson, the Jury man, who was obliged by illness to retire on Thursday evening, attended again, and the in quiry proceeded in the usual way. A person who offered himself as a voluntary witness, Mr. Han son declined calling. • Joseph Price George was then sworn.—l live at 238, Oxford-street. I belong to the Colonial Audit Office ; the Office is in James-street, Westminster. My residence from Cumberland gate is about 100 yards. It is four doors from Cumberland-gate. I was on the balcony of the first floor on the 14th of August, the day of the Queen's funeral. About 12 o'clock, my atten tion was called to the window, in consequence of a shouting in the streets. I perceived the people coining very quick up Park-lane, and crying out, the Procession is coming through the Park. There was a picquet at Cumberland-gate of about ten men, a trumpeter, and officer.— They had been there some time; I imagine they were sent there on duty. The moment the people cried out the Procession is coming, the picquet were hooted and pelted with bricks, stones, and mud. 'No other troops had arrived at that time in my view. The mob appeared to rush towards Cumberland-gate, as I concluded, w ith intention of shutting it. I saw a commotion between the military and the mob. Each was endeavouring to open and shut the gate. I saw no violence at first, but when an officer went to the gate to see what the disturbance was, and ascertain the cause of the commotion, the people near me cried," d—n him, unhorse him." The mob pressed upon him very much, and he used his sword to prevent annoy - ance. The other part of the picquet were much pelted at this time : this was before the proces sion came up. The mob were on the top of the wall using the bricks they could drag away as materials to throw at the soldiers. I saw the Life Guards struck repeatedly with bricks or stones ; I could hear their helmets ring from the blows ; I saw many instances of great forbear ance on the part of the soldiers ; I saw a man take part of a brick or stone, and throw it with great violence at a soldier; he struck him on the head ; the man appeared stupified for a second (the soldier I mean), and when he recovered he galloped to the wall where the mob was (I mean the part where the stone tic •as thrown) ; he lifted his arm above his head but made no attempt to strike with his sword ; he might have done it. The violence of the mob appeared particularly directed against the officer, and from the blows I saw him receive from stones and bricks he must have been much hurt. The soldiers had succeeded by this time in getting , the procession through the gate ; all this while the pelting was going on, and the mob used their_ best endea vours to get the horses of the hearse down Ox ford-street ; they did not succeed, and the hearse eventually was turned down Edgware-road. The two front horses were turned by the mob with their hea'is towards St. Giles's. Immediately after this, I saw down the Edgware-road a crowd of soldiers collected near the turnpike, for what purpose I cannot tell ; but shortly after the firing commenced. I think, after about five or six shots had been fired, I heard a cryof "Murder!" It proceeded from within a door or two of my side of Cumberland-street. I saw a man brought on the shoulders of some people past my window : he was dressed in a fustian sort of dress ; I be lieve it was Honey ; he was bleeding from the left side, but not dead ; I saw no more of the hearse affair ; heard altogether about thirty shots. They did not always fire on the people, because a shot flew so close to my head that I heard it whiz. About a quarter of an hour elapsed between throwing the first stone and the firing. The throwinig of stones continued with out intermission ; the conduct of the troops generally, until the firing commenced, was marked with great forbearance ; I think I may add, more forbearance than I myself possess. What do you mean by the word general con duct ?—I mean to say some soldiers, when struck by the people, cut at them and would have wounded them, if they had not got out of the way. Cross-examined by Mr. Harmer.—He was employed by Government : he came to give a true account of the transaction ; he did not see the soldiers ride on the people, they rode at them ; the people generally got out of the way. " I will swear I did not see the horses' heads reach the people ; the soldiers rode quicker than a trot; it was so short a distance from Cumberland-gate to the Park, that the people had time, when the soldiers pursued them, to get over the watt into the Park and Park-lane, before the soldiers could get 'at them ; I' •did riot 'see the soldiers come down so low as the Hotel, lint as the Hotel is opposite Park-lane, the Life Guards, in their way to the end of Park-lane, must have gone opposite the Hotel. There was a great body of the people at Cumberland-gate ; when the troops were pelted they charged in that. di rection ; I did not see a person led through the gate on horseback by a soldier ; I did not see a man with his arms across near the gate ; a person at the balcony of the hotel might have seen what passed as well as myself ; I mean to abide by my statement, that stones were thrown until a minute before the soldiers commenced firing; the picquet in Oxford-street went back through the gate after the contention at the gates, and the gates were opened. From the slanting direction of my house I could not see all that was done at Cumberland gate ; a man might have been struck at the gate without my seeing it. Mr. HaamEa—Yet you could hear the people cry, " Unhorse the Otflcer ?"—(A. loud expres sion 'of triumph.) . _ Mr. HANSON—That expression seems extremely partial. Mr. lIARMEtt said the expression was improper. Mr. George then said, he had not stated that he heard the people at the gate cry " Unhorse him !" but the people near his house. From his balcony he could see the gate; but a viranda intercepted so much of his view that he. could only s e e a part of it and Tyburn Turnpike. I heard no cry of "'Shame I" from any persons but those who carried the man wounded past my house. A person who, was standing in the bal cony of Lord Bagot's house ought to hv.ve had a better opportunity of seeing whether stones were thrown from Cumberland-gate than ms'self. I did not see any man struck with the sword. Ido not know that persons were, not struck. Re-examined by Mr. Hanson—l saw stones in the air before the firing—within a minute of the firing. Examined by Mr. Jackson, the Juror—l did noz see Honey fall_ ; the virand a prevented me . A Juror-4 beg leave to ask how many bricks were thrown from Hyde Park Atrall ?—I cannot take upon me to say how many. You say the crowd escaped over the wall, how high is the wall ?—Five or six feet, I cannot say exactly. William King sworn—l reside at No. 45, Great Portland-street : 1 am a medical student; on Tuesday, 14th instant, I was near Cumberland gates ; the first thing I saw was the hearse com ing through the Park; it passed through the gate into Oxford-street at the time I was standing at the rails ; I passed through directly after it.— Several people took hold of the horses heads to turn them down Oxford-street ; the four first horses were turned round ; a party of the Life Guards rode up, drove the people away, and turned the horses to Tyburn-gate ; a great num ber of stones were thrown at that time, and likewise before the hearse came up to the gate ; the stones were thrown in the direction of the soldiers, but they hit every body ; one hit me on the hat, and two on the arm ; just after the hearse came through, the iron rails were pulled down by the people swinging backwards and for wards ; the rails which separate the Park from the street. What do you mean by the swinging?—Pulling to and fro; the people nsed the bricks that were under the rails, and threw them at the soldiers as they were riding up to Tyburn turnpike. Several of the people asked one and the other to get the iron rails out, and attack the Life Guards ; they said it would not do, they could not get them from the coping ; at that time there had been no firing ; they did not succeed in getting the iron rails; they endeavoured to get them ; bricks and stones were flying from every direction ; I saw several soldiers struck, particularly one young officer, who was struck with three different bricks. Prior to this, I saw the Life Guards flourish their swords, but I did not see them cut any one. If any man had been struck at Cumberland-gate, I must have seen it. A little time after, one of the soldiers fired ; I heard a person address- the po pulace ; I saw one man throwing a stone, and I took hold of his arm ; he said I was a King's man. Q. What did the man say to the populace ? Mr. HARMER objected to the question. The Witness continued—l was struck by the man whose arm I took hold of and two others. I was struck by a stick ; and kicked. I saw two or three police officers or constables with staves in their hands, but they did not interfere. Near ly ten minutes expired between the throwing of stones and the firing ; at the moment the firing commenced, the stones flew so thick, that if you had been above you could not have seen be low ; about six or seven of the soldiers fired among the people, many fired in the air ; during the ten minutes between the throwing stones and firing, the soldiers behaved with the best temper in the world ; I did not see Francis shot ; when the firing commenced and a man was killed, the people took to their heels down Cumberland street ; immediately before the firing, and during the firing, stones were thrown ; When I got into the Edgeware-road, I saw the soldiers pelted. Cross-examined by Mr. Harmer—He knew Mr. Bowman, a medical student, who was a re spectable person ; I should give credit to what he said ; I got into Oxford-street after the hearse, and what occurred before I got into Oxford street, I consequently did not see ; persons might have been cut at Cumberland-gate. before .1 got there ; the hearse passed through without stop page ; nothing impeded the procession until the hearse got „through; I did. not see the gates closed ; I took no notice of the gate ; a Gentleman in the balcony of Lord Bagot's might have seen what occurred better than myself ; the man whose arm I seized in the act of throwing a stone, had a stick in one hand, a stone in the other. Here some person in the room exclaimed shame ! Mr. Hanson again complained of indecent con- - duct on the part of some person who had fre quently interrupted the Inquest by a breach of decorum. The witness continued—l cannot tell whether any cause of irritation might have been given to the people previous to throwing'the stones. I heard exclamations of shame! and the people calling out Piccadilly Butchers! I did not see what oc casioned the exclamation of shame ! persons might have been struck at the gate without my seeing it. When I said, on my examination in chief, " if anY_one„had been strut:k before the hearse pissed . Cumberland-gate, I must have seen it," i• meant to say if any person had been struck in the Park, where I was, I must have known it. Mr. Jackson—You had no great contest with the three persons who threw the stones had not. The persons in the balcony of Lord Bagot's would have seen what passed in Oxford-street, as well as myself. The Jury then retired for a short time. When they returned, a Juror complained that a person near him had spoken in his hearing disrespectful of the Jury. The indi•.-idcal was charged with saying the Jury had made up their minds. The person denied having said the words hnputed to Lieut. Edmund Packe, of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, sworn.—On Tuesday, the 14th instant, I was sent by my Commanding Officer to see the Procession o the Queen's funeral. I went some distance through Cumberland-gate, and saw it coming at the distance of 150 yards. I saw the Procession advance, but did not go up to it. My duty was to watch it, and report the progress. I found the spot where I halted was not a convenient situation to make my observa tions, and communicate with the Commanding Officer. I was on horseback, and finding myself pressed by the crowd, I rode up to Cumberland gate. The people had endeavoured to close the gate. There appeared to be some animosity ( ' be tween the Guards and the people. I was not then aware of the duty of the Life Guards. They 1 were (king their duty. I Went over with the party at the head of the procession at Cum berland-gate: When I passed ti ugh the gates stones were thrown ; I crossed Oxford.street to Outiperland-stree4 l , \ and remained therei just in the rear of the detachment ; the Life Guards were clearing the streets for the procession ; be fore I came through the Park I saw the mob was closing round the gate ; I saw the procession coming through the Park on my right and the Life Guards on my left ; the gates I believe were shut by the people ; there appeared great difficulty in keeping the gate open; there was fight ing between the people and the Life Guards ; when first I passed through stoues were thrown ; a stone passed near me ; I was a passive spectator in Cumberland-greet ; before the hearse came up the stones were flying in all directions ; when I got in Cumberland-street I was a mere spec tator ; a person said to me what a shocking sight this is ? I answered Yes, it is the most shocking sight I ever saw ; a body going to the grav e covered with mud and struck with stones, is a most disgusting sight. Stones were about that time thrown at the Guards. When the hearse carne through the gate there was a desperate confu sion. The horses heads were turned, and I thought the hearse would have been upset. There was a cry of take her to the city ! The Life Guards rode up, and the horses were extricated. The lead. ing four horses were turned round towards Ty burn-turnpike amidst a shower of stones. The coachman who drove the hearse appeared to me to call out. Nearly all the advanced party of the Life C uards were struck with stones. No person at that time applied to me for assistance. I was in regimentals, being on duty. The two leading files of the escort had just gone through the turnpike-gate, when there was a heavy dis charge of stones. The hearse stopped, and con ceiving there was some obstacle, I found it my duty to ascertain what the obstacle was. I went through Cumberland-street, to pass by Bryan stone-street to liZdgware-road, where the proces sion was. When I got a little way down Cum berland-street, a person 35 Here Mr. Harmer stopped the witness. He said, the rules of evidence would not admit him to state what was said by another. The witness then continued :—When I got to the end of Bryanstone-street, I heard a shot ; put my horse on a canter, and when I got into the Edgware-road, I found the Guards drawn up. Impediments were laid in the road ; a sink had been drawn up across the road ; three of the Life Guards close to me, at the head of the pro cession, fired strait in the air : stones were thrown at the time, and ten or a dozen shots were fired. I rode down the Edgware-road ; the stones were very heavy ; the soldiers always struck with the flat of their swords ; I saw a man at the Park. gate struck ; his horse was struck also with the flat of a sword. They were turning him out of the gateway. The man was struck on the hat, and his horse was struck. He appeared to be insisting on his right to remain in the gateway, and the soldiers were forcing him out. Cross-examined by Mr. llAttmca.—lf I had been on duty I should have conceived it my duty to act under the Civil Power. I do not know what was the duty of the Life Guards, when I first went up : I did not know what orders were given by Sir It. Baker ; I went down Cumber land-street about a horse's length from Oxford street ; my situation did not give me the oppor tunity of seeing Tyburn Turnpike; a person on Lord Ba,Tot's balcony would probably have seen further than I could. A man was struck with the flat of the sword ; he was going towards Ox. ford-street ; he had, as I supposed, been throw ing .stones ; I did not see him in the act ; I was in the Park at the time the contest was going on ; I was hooted, but took no notice of it. A Juror—Did you mcan the Officer gave command to fire? —I- was in the street when the firing commenced. O. Did you see Sir R. Baker ?—I do not know him. Q. From your knowledge or the service, is it usual for offi cers to carry fire-arms on such occasions ?—A. It is not in my regiment ; I never was in any regiment but the Blues. I can not say whether it is the practice in other regiments. My know ledge is limited ; I never was in any regiment but that in which I now have the honour to serve. Mr. Harmer—Q. What perild elapsed from the first throw ing, of stones to the firing I—A: I should think about five or ten minutes. Here the Coroner intimated that he had just received a letter from a person who made a voluntary offer to come forward es a witness. He read the following letter : " AUGUST 24, 1821. " Stn—Haviag I,een witness of what occurred at Cumber land Gate on the day of the funeral of her late Majesty, I wait .here for the purpose of stating to the Jury what I know of that catastrophe, provided the July think what I have to say we/thy their notice. . 4 THOMAS SCOTT." Addressed to the Coroncr. The Foreman of the Jury, after tome consukation, desired a t ime mes they would serigertofohremar hiui. the writer, that if he would wait a short Thomas Wm. Gordon, a Cornet in the Blues, was then called and sworn, and deposed as fol lows ;—I was on duty with a. detachment of my regiment' on Tuesday the 14th instant. I remem ber the Procession arriving at Cumberland-gate on. that day. I saw the people resisting the Guards. The gates were closed and opened se veral- times. At that time I :saw the stones fly. They continued flying after. the procession had got through the gate. The firing then commenced. After the firing had continued some time the pro cession proceeded. By Me. Ilansdn—l did not . see the horses heads turned down Oxford-street. - I did not actually see the firing. The time between my first seeing the, stones and first hearing the firing, was about eight or ten minutes. I saw several of the Life Guards struck by stones before the procession got through the ekte ; the conduct of the Life Guards f thought was particularly good ; I mean that they acted with great forbearance. By Mr. Harmer—Our detachment was about 48 men, a Captain, a Lieutenant, and myself.— The detachment formed a part of the procession in the rear of the State Carriage ; I should think the length of the procession before us was about 60 yards ; I don't know Sir Robert Baker, nor did I know that he was out that day ; I do not know who had the superintendance of the procession ; I did not hear the Riot Act read ; I saw a constable at Cumberland gate before we got through; I did observe what took )place at the Gate after we got through ; I heard no orders given to open the Gates; when I first observed the centeatioa no part of the pro cession had got through the gate, but the head was very near it ; I do not think there were many carriages before the state carriage ; the struggling occasioned a halt in the procession ; it was the halt that particularly attracted my attention. The original cause of it I cannot speak to, neithe\can I tell hoW long the conten tion had continued before I observed it ; Capt. Bouverie was the Captain of one detachment ; have said that I did not see any shot. Mr. Hanson now addressed the Jury, and said that he had, he conceived, called witnesses enough in support of his case; but he was prepared -to call sixty persons more, if the Jury thought it necessary. The Foreman of the Jury said, that a Gentleman of the name of Scott had sent up his name as a witness ; and unless he were examined it nus.;ht be an act of rudeness towards him. It was agreed to examine this Gentleman, and accordingly Mr. Thomas Scott then appeared and was sworn. He de , posed as follows live at No. 43, Old Compton-street, Soho. I crossed the Park with the procession. I saw three persona% standing together near the Park railing, and I saw a Lite Guardsman tire upon one of them. These persona were stand- . in; still at the place where the railing had fallen. Mr. Hanson here said, that if it would save time, he would admit, that on the day in question, a man was killed at the place spoken to by the witnesses, and that there was firing by the military at that time. Mr. Scott resumed—l saw the Life Guardsman advance to within four yards of the person fired at ; the flesh went across his breast as I thought; tne man fell immediately. By the Foreman—l should • not be able to indentify the sol dier; I was too far off to tell whether any stones had been thrown previously. By Mr. Hanson—l saw some of the Life Guards cloaked; the whole number was about forty, and they were principally cloaked ; I cannot say there were five uncloaked. The Evidence on both sides was here closed ; and the Jury having retired for a few moments to refresh themselves, the Coroner informed the Jury it became necessary to sum up tb„.''. evidence; but that he was really so exhausted he felt hinise o • unequal to the task. Mr. Hanson offered to read over the evidence, to which the Coroner agreed, observing that when the evidence had been read over, tie would make such observations as occurred to hil: Mr. Hanson then proceeded to read over the evidence, he did with great clearness, being occasionally relieved by -"r• Harmer. It was considered unnecessary to reca p it u late to evidence given this day, as the Jury said it was fresh in thei r recollection. The reading of the evidence being concluded, The CORONER (Mr. Ilictos) proceeded to ad dress the Jury. After admonishing them to dis miss from their minds every thing they might hale heard out of doors upon the present subject, h e said the remarks he had to make would lie within a very small compass. The Law of Englan d viewed with becoming jealousy all interferer Ae of a military force, even in aid of the civil pow er; but with that jealousy the Jury had nothiog. whatever to do. Soldiers were entitled to th e rights and privileges of citizens, and to no other.' and by those rights and privileges must th e c/i conduct be judged. From the appearance the evidence had assumed, it was clear tha t l Jury could not agitate the question of the rit't' as. atiou• it did not properly come under their consider -- The case would, therefore, remain to be tried h ia Y the Jury upon the principle by which they w °1 " 1 f the. be regulated in trying a common assault. thought the killing the secontimaa was in self-° glf fence, they would return a verdict aceor- in e I f not, the killing would he murder.

Just as thiel teryu:shatitila retired, a drunken fellow forced his %qui , 11 11 ° the room, and bawled out that he had a c , "Th e lenge to make against the fitness of one °I ' il Jury, he being in the service of Lord chori &ley. The Coroner desired him to be cou ld s.--13 informing him that no objection whatever n. then be made to the competency of a Jurrts Had any oljection been made before, be sure it would have been duly considered. „0 The Jury returned, after ,an absence 01 minutes, and their names being called over, i"_.
