fall—a soldier deliberately levelled a pistol in the direction where
jhe stood and fired—the deceased fell wounded—the people were
'entirely peaceable in that quarter—there were no stones thrown
until after the firing—there was no Riot Act read.
At 'o'clock several of the Jurymen intimated to the Coroner
that they were exhausted, and wished the inquest shoutd be ad-

His Nlajesty landed in Ireland on Saturday
last. Not a soldier was to be seen—he was re-
ceived with enthusiasm by his subjects, and of
course in the ab,:ence of the military, all was
loyalty, peace and decorum. The same would ever
be the case in England, but tint the lamentable,
infernal, penchant of some persons tint a parade of
soldiery—an exhibition which cannot but be ob-
noxious to every true-born Briton. We consider
the extreme rcjocings, at the present moment, du-
graceful to the Iris!lt national character and we du
not record them.
