FATAL AFFRA YatCU >I 13 ERL AND GATE. through the gates when he came up. Some part of the procession had therefore passed. A Stranger suggested that the witness . should he asked whether the attack made .by.the people was commenced before the particular shot was fired which killed the man, and not as to the time when the previous firing was resorted to. tention was first arrested by th - eiresolute manner in which the Officer rode al him. The soldiers then galloped about and disPersed .the people iri all directions; they ran about, up the Edgware and Uxbridge road, and seemed quite alarmed. Just at the moment the witness thought the mili tary had effected their purpose of driving the people off, he heard the report of a pistol. The soldiers drew up and fired when no stones were throwing. Hcard the reports of many pistols, and saw three or four soldiers fire in the air. Heard one first, in a few seconds another, and. then the firing became general ; rode up to a young Officer and expostulated with him upon the impropriety of firing upon the people— of firing at all; I did •not then know that a man had been killed. The officer seemed dreadfully agitated, and said he was sorry for it, but could nothelp it. His answer was, 4 ' What was Ito do ?" Witness told him he thought he might use his influence to check it. He replied "It is impossible." Witness alluded to the firing, and the Officer said he could not check it ; what was he to do ? " I cannot help it now," were his words. Ile was terribly agitated; wit ness thought it. arose from terror at the time, not knowing that a man had been killed. The sol diers then cleared away some rubbish and went up the Edgeware-road. If witness had known thati man had been killed, he sh ou ld h ave sup posa that the Officer alluded to it. Did not know that the Officer fired at all ; did not know that the man, was dead until the next day.— Thought he should know the Officer again —his voice was very effeminate, and he had an ex tremely boyish appearance. 'Did not see Sir R. Baker there; did not believe that he h%d time to get up; did not ,see any civil officer there; there was a person in black who seemed to be commanding the soldiers ; never heard the Riot Act read any where. A Juryman.—As your attention was fixed upon this Officer, would you not see him if he fired?

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON RICHARD HONEY. Before two o'clock yesterday, (the hour to which the Inquest stood adjourned), a great number of persons had collected round the door of the New Inn, at the corner of the Bdgeware road. The room in which the Jury assembled was also extremely crowded.—At a quarter past two the Jury assembled, pursuant to adjourn ment, and the Coroner (Wm. STIRLING, Esq.) having taken his seat, proclamation was tnade'in the usual form, and shortly after Mr. A ldertnan WArrumAN made his appearance.—The exami nation of witnesses was then proceeded in. Several Jurymen remarked upon the irregu larity of questions corning from persons not con nected with the Inquest. The witness repeated his evidence upon this point, and showed to the Jury the positions of the Officer and the deceased, by referring them -to the different situations in the room. Printed particulars will be delivered, and Samples of the Articles required will be —exhibited at the Storekeeper's Office, from Elet'en ,'Clock until Thtee, for twenty-eight days from the Date hereof. A 'IBILIOOS .PILLS, invented by .. . ED WARD •HALLAM, Surgeon and. Apothecary. This Preparation is justly esteemed for its agreeable and certain operation, by which it effectually remotes all Inaction or Obstruction of the Stomach and Bowels, whether arising from Bile, Indigestion," Plangency, or Cold; Sickness at Stomach, Head-Ache, &c. 1t" operates by dislodging acrid bile or other crudities retained itiAlit Intestin. , l Canal, and acts as an Alterative to the system generally: Feee, from any Antimonial or Mot - curial Preparations, it is at all times safe ; and has been given with singular good effect during Preg,niney. Its action is particularly adapted to Persons of Bilious Ha bits, and those of sedentary lives, where a sufficient action of the Bowels is net kept up, and crudities retained ini those organs are frequently producing Pains and Distensions, Head- Aches, Languor, and Giddiness, or a sense of Weariness and Oppression. A single trial will fully convince the Patient of their efficacy. The worst cases of Bilious or Sick Head-Aches are certainly removed by a single Dose, and in a much shorter time than could be credited, but from. experience. The Pro prietor thinks it proper to remark, they will be found not only to act without pain or uneasiness, but to leave the body, after their immediate action ceases, free from that costive state which generally succeeds the operation of laxative Me dicines. Samuel Green, of No. 9, 'Vineyard-walk, Clerkenwell, by trade a painter, was the first witness called. He first joined the procession at Kensington, where it was'standing still. The road up Church-street was blocked up, and the procession could not get the way it wished to go. Saw no. disturbance ; saw nothing particular. Did not hear the Riot Act read. The road was stopped by waggons and carts ; that was some thing particular, but he saw no disturbance: The procession then passed towards Hyde Park-cor ner. There was no particular stoppage at the Kensington Park-gates, ex.cept that the Guards wanted to pull the gates down, and could not. Did not know by whom they were shut. Sir Robert Baker then .ordered the procession to move on, and it proceeded through Knights bridge to Hyde Park-corner without further in terruption. There it was ordered to stop, and the gates were shut. Nothing took place till the Guards came up. The procession did not attempt to go up Park-lane; there were obstruc tions there. There was a cart-load of dung and other carts in the rear of it. The procession re mained there about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. Then heard that the procession was gone up the Park, and made the best of his way after it. Went up the Park after the corpse, and joined it at Cumberland-gate, before the corpse passed through. The first thing he saw was the Iron-railings pushed down. Saw the Guards rush out of the Park as soon as the iron railings fell ; saw a young Officer come out of the Park, and fired a pistol towards Cumber land-street almost as soon as he was out, and then turned his horse towards Tyburn-turnpike. This was not the first of the tiring ; heard one or two shots before. By Order of the Board, R. H. CREW, Secretary. FOR SALE BY PRIVATE CONTRACT, F REEHOLD ESTATE, consisting of a t ve ,.

EDlTOR—Without being diverted from my common avocations, I had the mortification to witness some parts of the proceedings of the 14th Inst.; and when I reflect upon the appear ance and general demeanour of those individuals who, in the absence of all delicacy of feeling, presumed to constitute themselves a part of a procession which ought to have been equally free from such disgusting intrusion as the funeral rites of the meanest subject, I cannot but la ment that the leniency of Government should have permitted such unprincipled, low, and de signingmen to trample upon theirauthority,and to acquire so fatal an ascendancy. The disgraceful efforts of this rabble, propelled by a selfish press, teeming with a rancour and phrenzy bordering upon treason, and possessing a kind of magic power over the brains of a half informed and a half drunken populace, have led upon this la mentable occasion to the effusion of human blood. Attempts are making by these votaries to cast the obloquy upon the soldiers who were employed, and whose forbearance was extreme even to a fault. My feelings of indignation lead me- thus to obtrude upon your attention in the expression of my sentiments, although I confess 1 am in many respects no supporter of the present admi nistration. Touching the' Queen's Funeral, it is sufficient to observe, if His Majesty's Govern ment did not pay that respect to her remains which they were bound to do to the remains of a Member of the Royal Family, ranking so high in the State, they are answerable at another Tribu nal, and there the People have their Representa tives. Are we to suffer a lawless mob to dispute the authority of Government ? Are the Brass founders, the Morocco Leather-dressers, the Caulkers, the Sawyers, and labouring mechanics of this vast metropolis, living in comfort them selves by the exercise of the talents and enter prize of the thinking part of the community ; men, who have interest in the State inasmuch as they have property to lose—are they, ask, to be permitted with impunity to oppose the proper Constitutional exercise of the Government, and become our legislators ? GOD forbid ! that such an order of things should again exist for one day— as aPatriot I do not hesitate to express my convic tion that the tranquillity of my country would have been better promoted by adhering to the original route of the Procession,_ supported by the aid of a larger military force properly distributed, than by giving way to a lawless infuriated mob. These are the sentiments of a friend to Civilised Society, and August 17, 1821. A CONSTANT READER. Witness.—No. After he fired his pistol, saw him ride down towards the turnpike-gate,, and after he got a hundred yards down, turned his horse, and rode back again towards Cum berland Gate. He then met a parcel more sol diers, almost as many as would go abreast in the street. They passed by him, and as soon as they were past, he turned round his arm (witness imitated the manner) and fired. Saw a man fall on the opposite side of the street. This was the second fire. The officer stood about the middle of the street, below Cumberland Gate. He meant on the side nearest to Tyburn ; about ten or twelve yards below the cross-roads leading to Cumberland Gate. Immediately upon the dis charge saw a man fall. The man expired very soon, and he never saw him after. Could not get near him. He was carried off some time after, and expired. Witness was standing by the watch-box at Cumberland Gate, about ten or twelve yards distant from the man who was shot. Did not see the officer when he fired, because his back was towards him; but when the officer fired the first pistol, had a side view of his face, and a full view when he was coming back. Does not know who he was ; but was he to see him again in regimentals, should know him amongst a thousand. Saw the same officer come out of the Park, and was neither at the head of the troops nor in the rear ; there were several before and several after him. There were several pistols fired down towards the Edgeware-road, before the young officer fired. Heard no Riot Act read. Saw no brickbats thrown before the firing. Saw no Magistrate or Civil Officer cautioning the people against violent conduct. Did not see Sir Sir R. Baker after they left Kensington. Did not see the man who was shot commit any act of violence. .There werevery few people standing where the deceased was, and saw no stones thrown from that quarter, until after the man was shot. Saw the guards ride up to the Park-gates, which were not closed. Saw no scuffle between the guards and the people there. Saw the guards riding about and brandishing their swords ; this irritated the people, and they threw bricks, and hissed the soldiers and cried murder. This was after the man was shot. Tha soldiers were brandishing their swords before and after the man was shot. Did not see the people in the least disorderly, except when the soldiers interfered. Some conversation here ensued between Mr. Waithman and the Coroner relative to the pro priety of a question as to the witness's knowledge of any plan for obstructing the procession. The question was not put. Mr. HANsoN, ofßouverie-street, as we under stood, wished to ask the witness a few questions, on the part of Col. Cavendish and the troops in general. In reply to this gentleman's examina tion, the witness stated that he did not know the time at which he came up to the gates. The gates were open. The hearse was about to go A Juryman—" Do yoUbelieve that the Officer saw the man ? Witness—" I do not know—l believe he shot the man. Whether he did it on purpose or acci dentally Ido not know." The man stood upon the pavement with his right side nearest the houses and looking towards the Officer. The Officer appeared to be quite a young man—sup poses about twenty. Saw no constable near the place. A person who was speaking to the witness was here removed from him, and the evidence was read over and then signed. J. Cook, of No. 17, Francis-street, Tottenham court-road, Gent. was then sworn, and deposed as follows :—The witness joined the procession on horseback at Brandenburgh House, and went all the way with it. The procession stopped at Kensington Church. The people were anxious that it should go 'through the City, and begged of the horsemen who were most forward to go in that direction, which they did. That occasioned the constables to strike them and to turn them back. The mob stood across the lane - where the constables wanted to go up, but they could not penetrate through the people ; the people hallooed out, " It's no use to come this way, you can't get past ; there is a cart upset, and a cable across the road." A waggon then came up filled with stores ; it was a sort of baggage wag gon, with two or three soldiers upon it, and some more on foot ; they went to the end of the lane for the purpose of avoiding the procession, and stood almost across it ; the soldiers had thus blocked up the way unknowingly in the way the people desired. A Juryman here stated that he. thought they had nothing to do with what passed at Kensing ton,and this examination was a waste of time. The CORONER observed, that they wanted to ascertain whether the Riot Act was read at Ken sington. The witness stated that the Riot Act was not read there, for he scarcely had his eyes off Sir R. Baker for two minutes while the procession staid at Kensington. At that spot saw nothing take place between the soldiers and the people ; the soldiers did not interfere there. Left the pro cession half a mile this side Kensington, and saw no stoppage any where but at the Church. Rode on with the intelligence of the way the proces sion was coming. Came to Park-lane, and found that also blocked up ; some one got there before him. Sir . R. Baker came to within a few yards of Park-lane, and then halted. While he was there, he understood it to be the intention of Sir It. Baker that the procession should pass through the City. Heard this from others. Mr. Hanson objected to evidence which had only been heard, and after some dispute it was rejected. While witness remained here, a person came shuffling through "the crowd as fast as lie could, and declared that the hearse had turned round to go back. Witness. turned his horse round, and pushed on as fast as he could to the gates of the Park. Itode on and got before, the pro cession, and through Cumberland-gate before the soldiers. Very few people were assem bled when he rode through. Observed no soldiers in Oxford-street at that time. There were some in the inside of the gate, they were Life Guards. Was going ou to the street opposite Cumberland-gate, and upon turn ing round was surprised to see so many soldiers in the Park and about the gate. They came through, and the people went in between them and attempted to shut the gate ; they succeeded in getting one shut. Some of the, soldiers were then through. The shutting of the gate did not appear to divide the. soldiers ; they looked like separate bodies. Only one of the. gates was shut, so that at any time there was room for sol diers to go through. They could go through without forcing their way through the people, There were so few people then present, that the witness was surprised. Should not think there were 50 nor 30 people who had hold of the gate in the act of pushing it. Saw the soldiers cut at those who had hohl of the gates. Did not see that they cut any of them. That was followed by the throwincr-of stones and bricks. Saw no such thing before the cutting took place, and was in such a direction that he must have seen it if it had occurred. The soldiers afterwards re mained outside the gate in a confused state, ap parently not knowing what to do. Whilst stand ing.in that uncertainty, many bricks were thrown at them. There were a great many thrown; the throwing continued for a minute or two. The Foreman said, " Then, about a dozen would be thrown in that time." Witness.-- - --" Oh ! a great many more." The soldiers had then ceased to cut the people, until an Officer, full of desperation, rushed with his sword at one man in particular, who was a foot passenger ; the man bent himself under the wall, as if to avoid the attack. The Officer cut at him, but whether he cut him or no, could not see. Did not recognize the face of that Officer. Did not see whether the man threw any thiug; his at- William Spratt, resides at 29, Little Russell street, Bloomsbury, and is by trade a shoe maker; saw the procession first at Knights bridge barracks. Did not see it pass into the Park ; was down at Park-lane ; understood that the body rtes gone through the gate, and return ed back again ; saw nothing take place in. the Park, either on the part of the soldiers or the people. The soldiers were through Cumberland gate when witness came up ; saw the bustle of the soldiers driving the people down Ox ford-street. They were driving them with their swords ; saw them strike at the people ; did not see them strike any body until one of them came and struck him. Saw nobodr hurt them. After the soldiers drove the peo ple, stones were thrown. Witness did not throw any. After the people were driven away- they returned and threw stones. Witness was standing against the Park gate, when a sol dier drove at him and cut his umbrella just oppo site his neck, where he held it to defend himself. (The witness produced the umbrella, which was slightly cut round towards the bottom.) The soldier struck vtry violently, so as to knock the umbrella against his 'head with great force. Wit ness ran to get away, when the soldier sheathed his sword and fired a pistol after him, but did not lilt him. Witness was running away, and looking round to see if the soldier still pnrsued him, when the pistol was fired, for he was riding after him. it was a private soldier. Witness had thrown no stones. When the pistol was discharged, the soldier did not pursue witness any farther ; was then running across the road, and saw a young Officer draw a pistol from his holster and deliberately shoot a man opposite to him. The Officer stood about seven or eight yards from 'the decefised, and two yards from the witness. Wit ness was running away, and turned round and saw the Officer deliberately shoot the man. Wit ness saw the man stagger back, but never saw him afterwards; the man was standing near the door of the first house from the corner of Cum berland-street ; is quite positive, should know the Officer if he saw him again in regimentals ; he wore a red coat, and appeared to be about eighteen ; the man who was shot was in the front of the crowd, which was very great at that part; he fell back into the people; he stood opposite the Officer when he tired, and to his right.— (The witness here explained the position in which the deceased and the Officer were stand ing.)--Does not know what dress the man had on ; when cut at he was alarmed, but not Eo alarmed as to be mistaken in th e p os iti ons; is eye sight was good, and he saw quite clear; when the officer shot the man, he laughed—When he saw him stagger, he laughed ; when the sol dier fired at witness he was coming Park-lane way; he Was not so situated that the ball which missed him might have killed the deceased ; some part of the procession had passed through
