By Mr. tlariner.-1 saw nn sticks In the hands of the
men. I saw not the smallest di,position to riot or distal,.
bauce. I hisaid many say among them, that they were
sore there were no riot if they weie-lel Moe t meaning. I
suppose, by the magis rates and soldiery. They weir
coining from I I till nearly half put one. They were dis-
persed in about 5 inirotcs. I saw women with children in
their arms. I saw minty lying nu the gr d, and others
seemingly assisting them. 1 did not choose to stop to run
a risk. The carnage seemed to he iodise t i 000 inate. I saw
the Quakers•-yard 2 or S days afterwards, and I saw trees
with sabre curs. -

Curuoirr.—You don't wean that they were cut by the
Yeomanry ?
Mr. Harmer.—Yes, indeed. I +ball produce evidence
to prove that the Yeomanry did so when they were cutting
at ilia people. I ask hint as to what'ite•eaw.
I saw the cuts in the trees, and I saw coagulated blood
on the rails. . . .

By the Coroner.—You say the carnage was indiscrimi-
nate, was it also unlimited? Did you •are any wounded?
I saw ivauy on the wound ; also saw some afterwards
cart led in carts to the Infirmary, from %tomtits, I presume.
—Yes, you pi ermine ; it is all pressunption with you! Did
you see any blood? Yes, I saw blood in that cart.—Well,
that is su•uething. What interest had you to ascertain the
feeling of the meeting? From the meeting of the 911 i bas-
ing been prevented. I saw no stones thrown till site peo-
ple were dispersed: Theo I saw some brick-bats thrown:
I did not see who threw them. A cavalry officer seemrd
to retreat from them. That was betwe .1 saw the soldiers
in tire you d. The officer was connote np to the people at
the time. I shouldtismighte I did not see inure than 3or
brick-bats ur stones, and I eppreliend they were thrown
in self defence. I saw no sticks used. The officer turned
his horse and went away ; I did nut know him. I saw no
other-stones thrown that day.
Tire dory now manifested an evident desire to adjourn,
and Oils' of• them significantly expressed a hope that the
Coroner had enough of it.

In prevent note-taking; the Coroner restricted the further
publication of the notes till the Inquest was finished, and
the examination continued as well us it could under the re-
buked but frequent and impertinent interruption, of Ash.
worth, who if he had not been (anima to thoNe feelings we
hrmour, would have kissed the rod and been quiet after the
severe though gentlemanly castigation which WIN admini-
stered to him by Mr. Harmer.

A duel took place on Thursday morning nt

name of P. and a Lieutenant S. The parties had been
on the most friendly terms until a dispute origi-
nated between them relative to a Lady. The parties
exchanged shots, when the Lieutenant was grazed

Not long ago a Gentleman of the Napkin applied
to a Lady, residing near the Banks of the Thames
for a situation as Butler in her family, and stated
that he expected to receive sixty guineas a year
The Ludy, expressing her astonishment at the im-
pudence and exorbitaucy of the demand, said, that

dom received for the performance of their important
duties ; when the fellow with great sang frail!, ob-
served, " That he had always pitied those poor
Gentlemen."
Loss or TIIE PARAGON.—Extract of a letter
dated Calcutta, March 26:—" The painful task has
&lieu on me to inform you of the loss of the ship
Paragon (from England the 31st August, and the
Cape the 6th December), on Sangor-sand. The
melancholy event happened on the night of the
24th the whole of the passengers and crew, with
the exception of a Portuguese lascar, who refused to
quit the wreck, have been saved by the Sophia
pilot-vessel. The officers and volunteers on board
the Sophia, much to their credit, volunteered their
services to go in the boat to assist in saving the pas-
sengers and crew. They brought the ladies, seven
in number, and Capt. Keene, who has been dan.
Igerously ill for some time, safely on shore.—P, S.
I'he vessel has sunk, and not an article of property
has been saved. The Captain is since dead.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--Wednesday morning,
about nine o'clock, an accident of a serious descrip-
tion happened in little Newport-street, Newport-

peatedly caitioned by her master against the dan-
gerous and indecent practice of going outside the
windows fur the purpose of cleaning them, Wed-
nesday morning ventured on the outside, und was
freeipitated to the road (pitching head foremost,)
and injured in a dreadful manner. Some passengers,
who witnessed the transaction, went to her assist-
ance, and carried her to Mr. Clifton's, !..urgeon, who,
after rendering her every assistance, caused her to
be taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where she now
lies in a dangerous condition.

friends to trace out the route of the refugees, there
has not yet transpired the Slightest clue to their
retreat.
