The CORONER. resumed the inquiry.yesterday, touching , the death of George Francis, killed on the 14th instant, at Camberland-gate. Mr. French, examined on the first day of the Inquisition , attended again in pursuance of a summons from Mr. Harmer, but was not ques tioned. Witnesses . called by Mr..llANsox. • John Loyd, a servant to Lord Bagot,. sworn. --I take care of Lord .1 Bagot's house, No. 19, Great Cumberland-street, and I am also a door keeper at the Cobourg Theatre. Lord Bagot's 'house stands at the corner of Cumberland-street. The front. of the !souse looks into Oxfordestreet„ and there are three windows in 07(1(3rd-street on each floor. On the day of the Queen's funeral I was •at the -dining-roder window. e I saw the funeral approach.. The dining room window is on the ground floor, nearly opposite Cumberland gate ; a great number of persons were on •the spot during th e morning; just before the funeral arrived people came from the Park and Park ' lane, and closed the gates; the he'arse was jo the Park; the soldiersendeavoured to open the gate; ' three undertakers' men cerne.with the soldiers to 'open the gate ; .the People _made a resistance ; they endeavoured to keep the gate shut, : and pelted the soldiers with stones; a great mob was assembled ; a cloud of stories was flying ; they attempted to get paving stones, but they were too heavy ; I saw the stories flying at the soldiers; I AO not know where they got the stones ; my opinion is they brought them there. I saw the gate partly closed after it had been opened by the soldiers; the people struggled with the soldiers ; the soldiers wished to open them, the people to keep them shut ; an opening was at last effected ; I observed the horses of the hearse pass through the gate; the people laid hold of the horses to turn their -heads towards St. Giles's ; the leaders were turned, and the soldiers, with the under taker's men, turned them again by force, t owar d s Tyburn-gate. D ur i ng thi s - time the throwing of stones continued with more violence than ever. I saw several soldiers struck by brickbats and stones ; I e - onsidered some of them .severely struck : I saw one struck on the head ; his cap was struck off. When the G ua: ds passed, I saw several soldiers with blood running - down their faces e ---the side of the face. The stones were large, some as big as bricks some stones three or four pounds weight. I saw no firing ;if there had been any firing at Cumberland-gate, tit. this time, I must have heard it. The sound orfiring" struelt my ear after the soldi er s tad passed, The -time' which elapsed between throwing the stones, and the sound of firing, was 'about seven or ten mi nutes. I thought' the soldiers behaved with the greatest forbearance; they seemed brought to that discipline, that they could bear pelting. This opinion is -founded on what I observed ; I never saw them attempt to cut at any man ; they drove them back, acid flourished their swords to intimidate the people. Cross-examination by Mr. HARMAN.--He went occasionally to the windows. When any one rang at the bell, he left.the window ; he saw the soldiers ride at the people, but not on. them; I saw them ride to drive the peopl e b ac k ; 1 d o not know that I went from the window more thin three times; I do not know that I was ab sent each time more than half a minute ; I can not tell what occurred while I was absent; I will swear I never saw'rin attempt made by the soldiers to cut the people had been cut where I was, I must have see - i it ; the pro cession and soldiers passed twenty or thirty yards on when the firing ;was heard; when they passed our house there was a ringing at our-bell, and I went from the window ; the people retreated when the soldiers rode after them ; they re treated. I cannot state whether the soldiers re treated as far as the Hyde Park Hotel ;: a Gen tleman 'came to Me to "ask 'whether I could give any inforination: (Heie the witness pointed to Mr. Hanson.) That is 'the Gentleman; I was . not at home when he came ; I cannot tell exactly' all the perions in the house who were looking out at the windows. A Juror—Yes you can. • Mr. HARMER—Give us some of the names. Witness—Dr. Osgood was in the w hut roorn, Mr.Tzar, and 'three Ladies ; one was Mrs. Begot, who is related to Lord 13a,zot. I did not see any one wounded at Cumberland-gate; I had the window up ; no stone struck the windows. I saw the swords floeriShed at Cumberland-gate. bnt I did not see them strike a man. The, swords were not going . With 'great velocity-. There was no. firing during the, , time -the • hearse tame through Cuinberierid-gate and e pass.ed Lord Ba got's hotise. The men who assist.eot.he soldiers,_ to open- the gate,undertaker's men. appeared` to 'b e men. He could ndt say whether they were undertakers or constables: they had short black staves. Re-examined by Mr. lIANotg--;-Thernen with stavesassi.sted:tbe soldiers to open the gate. Mr..HAttmEn complained of a contradiction; inasmuch as the witnesssaid,the.persons who,as sisted the soldiers to open the gate, appeared to him to be undertaker's men. He had' subsequently said they were Peace-officers.. The witness, explained that circumstance. In answer - to a question put by a J uror, he said he'did not apprehend any dahger at the window ; there. vas, however, he 'admitted, danger from the stones. .Dr'.' Henry; 01)a - ries Els of 92, Park-street. Grinvenor-squaie . , sworn. = I am a tfurgeon ; on, a:6'l4th of this imOnth I was on the 'balcony at Lord Bagot's house, and 5111 y the Queen's funeral; I . was there before the p rocess i on arr i ve d. P r i or _to the arrivai, the soldiers outside the. gate went witllett the gate. There were twelve Life Guards and an Oflicer. Immediately on the first part of the Precession c-oming up to the gate, the first object that struck my - attention was a man in - black on horseback at the gate. I - observed a soldier behind him strike the man with :the.-flat part, of his sword. The people at that time were hissing and hooting. The gates were. shut iiii mediately after the mateon horseback got through, I. cannot say by whom. There was - a contention . between the mob and some constables and soldiers e. during: this-contention the stones began- to fly in. Oxfordestreeteand. Curnbesland-street ; the.stoneS were thrown at the seldier:eet the gate ; in the midst-of eehe- eol4i!e're. --- evithitt the - Park came:out, and began to-•clearaway the mob; observed the Officer inelearticular; he appeared to resent the acts of the. mob more than the-rest, ,and consequently got more violence than the rest ; I saw several stones strike him and his horse ; on the street being sernewhatavared the first carriage passed through, and then the hoarse came up ; the right hand leading horse was taken by a man, and four horses out of six turned down eastward, towards St. Giles's ; the.: postillion resisted him much ; the Life Guards at this time were at Ty burn-gate, and they turned back towards the Edgeware-road ; stones were then thrown with violence ; a man who seemed to - have hold of the hearse doore.was struck by a stone on the stomach, and could not go on for some time; I saw the soldiers struck repeatedly, at th e ti me th e hearse was going through. At this time eight of the Life Guards drew off, -and stood under Lord Bagot's window ; during two or three minutes they remained there, the mourning . coaches and hearse passed on to the Edgeware road ; stones were constantly thrown at this time ; one of the Blues passing through the gate, was knocked down ; I saw several of the crowd at this time struck -by the soldiers, as I thought with the flat of their swords ;*the hearse leaving Cumberland-gate, passed Tyburn-gate ; the mob then seemed quiet for two or three minutes, which led me to make the observation to a per= son near me, that I thought they were reading the Riot Act ; about two minutes after I heard firing ; the first shot I heard was at the iron railing, near Cumberland-gate:; the people were running in the Park ; many persons were in the Park ; I saw two or three other shouts in the same direction, and remember , three in Oxford street. After the firing the. hearse proceeded up Edgeware-road.. ,J,then otverred a cessation of violence on the part of the nob,. just before the firing. The soldiers I thought had gained their point, and I saw nothing to. justify the firing at that moment.. The streets were cleared for the procession to pass. I saw the hearse at the toll house at the time. I could not see what was pass ing in the Edgewnre-road. I-will not say what was passing .there. If the stones had been flying in the direction of the Edgeware-road I must have seen them ; the Life Guard s were a t Ty burn-gate and Oxford-ro a d, when they :rfired'; I conclude there must have been some in the Edge ware-road ; the men who had -been stationed there returned, and appeared to be on good terms with the people. Cross-examined by Mr. IfenetEn,—He saw no shot fired down towards the gdgeware-road; he saw shots fired into ,the Park - and down Oxford street. ; the People ran away through the Park . ; they were throwing 'stones after the soldiers . fired e 'one man e , in a Merry An drew. style, " Do you think .to frighten us ?" I thought they : were then preparing to fire; six, eight, or ten of the Life Guards, drew off to Lord Bagot's house, where they remained, shew ing the greatest .forbearence ; stones were re peatedly thrown at th?R),.. but none struck the windows where I was standing ; I. did not see Sir Rehett Baker; the men about the gate had corn-. man Constables staves, . Thee first thing I saw was a man en horseback led - through the gate.by another man ;in the effort to: get him through the btidlefireke; a soldier behind. struck the man the l tlat of his sword ; hemight have receiv, - - ed. - bloWs which I did not see.; I saw. no.man.cut; no blood from any •of _the crowd ; I saw blood. on the faces, breeches, and ,gloves ;.

A Jury—Then it was a friendly contest per haps ?—No ; I do not suppose it Was, Mr. HARMER—Was it the man or the officer who seemed delighted with the contest ?—The officer did . not seem angry. - A-Joror—Dil you see Et n y soldierS fire.' perpen dicular 1-1 did not ; there Were however many shots' I did not see fired.

He accord, ingly left the room, and some time after, the Co roner was told Mr. Jackson was so unwell, that he could not attend the Inquest before another day. Mr. HARMER suggested; in consequence of the absence of Mr. Jackson, an immediate adjourn - - ment, until they could have the benefit of that Gentleman's attendance. It was impo;sible, he said, to finish the Inquest that night. . Indepen. dent of that consideration, there was one of the greatest weight. They had but thirteen men on the Jury, and Mr. Jackson was absent, and if two out of the thirteen should not be unanimous, they could have no verdict. The Coroner could not take a verdict unless twelve men agreed. In case two should not agree, they would not have a verdict with eleven. On the whole, an adjourn ment was the wisest course they could pursue. Mr. HANSON stated, that Mr. Jackson on the first day of the Inquest said he was unwell. A Juror.—Mr. Jackson has not been well these three years. -Mr. HANsoN then said, I cannot conclude my case to-night. I propose calling ten witnesses to-morrow ; I cannot call them to-night for this reason : the Jury, in the Edgware-road, have examined part of my witnesses, and they canno come here before to-morrow. It was then arranged, with the consent of thp. _Jury, that the Inquest should be adjourned till to-morrow, at four o'clock. The Coroner accordingly adjourned at eight o'clock. FOR THE SUN. REDUCTION OF SALARIES. To THE RIGHT RON. THE EARL or LIVERPOOL. MY LORD—It is with deep • regret that I obtrude myself on your Lordship's notice, but, as the subject upon which I shall venture to offer a few'remarks is of essential importance to a numerous and meritorious class of men, I shall not suppose for a moment that you will consider it beneath your attention. It is rumoured that his Majesty's Government have it in contemplation to reduce the emoluments of all civil departments Ns nearly as possible to the level of those wbich existed in the . year 1797. In proposing tliii period as the basis of their pro ceedings, I feel assured that they have been misled by false in formation, for a palpable act of injustice could never receive their sanction, nor could a measure so injurious to the interests of hundreds have met with their approbation, if its fate had de pended on its own Merits. In the year 1797, it is a matter of notoriety that most,if not • all civil situations, were greatly underpaid, and it is scarcely, necessary to adduce any other argurnent in support of this asser tion, than the simple fact, that in many offices the salaries had not been 'increased for twenty or thirty years previously to that period. This circumstance; lam convinced, must have es caped your Lordship's observation ; for you could never wish it to be understood that'you consider money as valuable now as it was fifty or sixty years agO. But admitting for a moment.that this was the case, let us consider the subject in another point of view. A young - man, after an expensive education, accepts a situation in a public office (to which only a small salary is an nexed), on 'the implied condition that his own .good condnet Will, after a certain number of years, insure him a comfortable maintenance. I-1e marries on 'these, expectations-;' it difficulty that he supports himself and family on his limited in come. :At this critical :moment an order comes down from the • Treasury, directing that -a large.per centase (in addition to the Land-Tax) be deducted (rain his miserable pittance; and ruin ing his future. prospects, by reducing the superior situations in his .department (after the death of their present possessors) to k sccle, that future' hopes of comfort are anni- : - and -min a ray-of contsolat'on dis Plays itself to enliven the.elarkimil dietry Perspective. This, my Lord, is not a case which :exists in , the,imagination'albne ;--on inquiryyon will tied that the skeyeh is but feebly drawn. To cnrnsnent upon it; would tie-16 . 11181th yobr feelings of justiceto offer any further obser veitions;vedidd be useless. • I leaye it with confidence in your LordilliP's bands; and have the honour to remain, with great reepect; rnq Lord; "Your Lordship's . most obedient thimble servant, A ikt ICUS JUST 17'1.R • FOR THE -SUN: •-• REDUCTION - OP' SALARIES. • ' ;MR.

The war broke out, and though my time of service had added another 50!. to my income, yet the tax on that income, and other additional burthens which the necessities of the State required, rendered that addition of little Or no . avail to 'm family ; •but it was borne, if not with cheerfulnes!".at least with patience, and without a murmur--for the tax was general. I am now above fifty years of age, with a wife, and not a small family, and though, it is true, my salary is somewhat increased ; it is still inadequate, with all our economy, a'ad under many privations, to enable me- to lay. ~s.ix,peor-e ;. - r - : - Edßlny- it -would not be too much to expect that a man of education and a gentleman, - after above ihirty years' .
