has brought this witness to prove the people gave the first
provocation, and I deny that be h.:, proved that fact.
Mr. Illakie.-1 am sorry my Brother Jurors, who know
the nature of this proceeding, pay the least attention to
any thing Mr. Adolphus says.
Mr. Spicer.—Gentlemen, this is not the way to conduct
an inquest. We should be more orderly.
Mr. Green.—Mr. Coroner, we wish not to be brow.
beaten and bullied by ass Old Bailey Counsellor.
Mr. Brown.—We have permitted him to be here, Mr.
Coroner, on your account, lied you attended to our
protest against the attendance of Mr. Adolphus, we should
have gone on quiet.
Coroner.—lf this is to go on, we had better adjourn till
we get cooler.
Mr. Spicer.•—Gentlemen, you will be sorry for that.
Mr. Adolphus.—They are Gentlemen of the Jury 110W—
but we all know what they are.
'rise witness was then examined by Mr. Green.—Mr.
Bowman, did you Pee a teen with a banner ?—Yes, I did.
Did yon see the man cut down I did nut.
It is retrial kable that you can see with one eye, and not
with the other. _ _

Yen say the officer had no cloak on ?—Yes, I said so.
Did you make any observation to a person near you in
the room where you were looking out of the window ?
I said to the waiter, when I saw the man fall, " That is a
dead man."
The witness then said—l saw no fire•arrns. I do not
know whether the soldiers had carbines or not.

Mr. Brown.--'Phis gentlrman comes to prove the sol-
diers gave the people no provocation. They did nut 'no-
woke them to throw stones. I will not believe it.
Mr. Adolphus.—Such an observation from a Jmyman,
who onght to hear all the witnesses without remarks, and
theta give his verdict, is anticipatory of the ma I.ller in
which he atoms to give his verdict.
Mr. Ilrown.—Mr. Adolphus may say what lie wishes to
say, but the Jury have some Spartan blood, and we will
atop here till we can get at the truth.
Mr. Adolphus, to the witness.—When you first saw the
soldiers they %vete tiding through Cumberland Gate?—
Yes.

Mr. Gall.—When you came from Edgware-road towards
the Park Hotel, was cute load blocked up ?—lt was Hut, MS
I ea*,.

Richard Buckle Teen sworn.—The fit ing commenced
about ten minutes aflcr I saw the fist stones tlitown.
There was a continuation of stones throwing until the
tiring. I cannot desetihe the throwing of stein's. The
first seven m• eight shots were fired in the air. About halt'
a minute alter the commencement of the fit lug, a man was
on the ground, about till cc. paces from No. 24 /, Oxford-
street.

Mr. Adolphus.—llo you mean a soldier or a private
person ?—A. Nut a soldier.
A Juror.—!lave you been in the Inquest room during
the twelve days !—A. I have been in a short time ; nut
from any wish of mice.
Examined by Mr. ltlakie.—l cannot describe the pace
at which the hearse was coming through the Park. lain
not sure the soldiers opened the gates. The soldiers
were emleavom tug to open them both times. When I saw
the first shot fired, the hearse was neatly opposite 218,
nearer to Ty burn Gate than otherwise. I know Lion.
Gore, but did not see I tree. There was a trumpeter
riding about bet I Lieut. Gore. Ile appeared to be a
young mail from eighteen to tatnty-twe. I should not
know him again.
Mr.thown.—llid you see any Peace-officers in attend-
ance expostulating a ith the people?—A. 1 saw nu expos-
tulation at that time.

Q. Did you observe the Guards tide amongst the people
berme the tiring commenced ?—,ll. The throw ing of
stones at the gate was the commencement of the nth ay.
Mr. Hayward.—Did you observe the man you saw fall
throwing stones, or committing any improper au /—Cer-
(slaty not.
Here one of the Jurors said it would be desirable to
adjourn utter the Coroner had Inn-lied the evidence of
this witness. Thu Jcry was disposed to take refresh-
ment.

'I he Jury then wiihiliew.
At a few minutes after tour o'clock the Jury returned
to the Inquest room, and the inquiry was resumed.

They were nut ut the impect at Knightsbridge. The

Col. Cavendish 9W0111.—1 attended the inspection of the

I saw a person who gave his name to Mr. Birnie, or tine of

atop or make ally motion at Litut. Gore. I might aiy cer-
tainly nut, but would rather say front my recoltectitin.
urn well acquainted with the ;smarm. of Limits. Gore, Lock,
and Wulroud. Both Lieuts. Lock and Walroutl have very
fresh complexions, and as to paint I should be mistimed of
the regiment if any of the officers could use it.
By Jurors.—Neither Lieut. Locke tier Lieut. Walreud is
the least like Mr. Gore. I did nut send Lieut. Gore to re.
neve any other officer on the King's Guard on Sunday. If
I had it might or might not hive helm entered in the orderly
book. I think Lieut. Hall is not like Litut. Gore. Ile is
shorter. _ .

Thomas Erne m, Adjutant to the First Life Guards I keep

duced and referred to it The KinA'a guard is relieved every
24 hours. On Friday, the 17th of August, the °Meer* tin
the King's guard acre, Captain Martin, Lieutenant [Wpm!,
and Sub Lieutenant Gore, amid they staid there till Saturday
the 15th, at eleven. Ido not think Mr. Gore has been on
that duty since the 17th. I saw Mr. Gore on the Sunday
at the church parade. An officer c .111101 change the gualit
without lease from the commanding <Miter. He would lee
subject to a court martial if he did. Nu other than the
...

mending utheer can give that leave.
By Jurors.—l have no knots/eke of Mr. Gore having
done that dilly by mistake un that day. The call fur the
troops Mr that day aas sudden, and, therefore, was entered
in the orderly book as simple duty. I never have been es-
ainined before Mr. Adolphus, except at u court martial, and
that won through the court.
At the close of Mr. Lawns' testiusony, Mr. Adolphus said,
he should call Lieutenants Locke arid Waldroudc, and then
close his ease.

I was drawn nut a ill, the rest of the tegiatent to be inspected
on the 21st of Augu•t. I had not devised any plan, or ink( n
any measure to make myself look like Lieut. Gore. I had
notused any art to diseolout or disguise my face. I declare
upon my oath that I did not use any paint. I had mole
colour in my face un that day than 1 have now, becttu,e I
have been ill since Sunday week, in consequence of a blow
which I received on that day from a brickbat.
Mr. Adulphus.—Aye, that is one of the blessings of the
funeral.
By a Juror.—l have no kuowledge of Mr. Gore having
gone on duly by mistake since the 1 lilt.
Mr. Gall (a Juror) repressed an opinion that Mr. Gore
and the last winters (Mr. Locke) were very much alike,
and that a witness might very easily snake a mistake between
them.
Bethel! Walroud, n Sub Lieutenant in the Ist GstarJ:,
swore.—l was at the inspectiou on the 2ht. I (did nut

Lieutenant Ilan then entered the room for the purpose of

whether he was like Mr. Guie.

Mr. filakie asked if he could put n question or two now
that Nlr. Will was here?
Mir. Adolphus said he should neither oliject our consent.

Loss or 114 E ROBERT BRUCE.—Extraet of a
letter front a gentleman who was passenger on board
the Robert Bruce steant-packet when she tool; tire:—
" Holyhead, ityth
•• `tit,—l beg to embrace this opportunity of giving you a
few particulars of this unfortunate tire. Betwixt twelve and one
o'clock yesterday !waning the fire was first observed by a heat
arid kind of smoke in the cabin, on which discovery Captain
Carlyle and men had used every exertion to get it out, but it had,
I suppose, communicated with the coals. \Ve were then about
50 miles at sea. Our state being then make known, all hands
went to work: the steady and awl conduct of the Captain, and
his firm bchaviou•,with the good and steady conduct of the pilot,
mate, and men, aided by most woncleriul exertions of the pas-
sengers, in carrying water, and keeping the fire down, was the
means, by the blessing of t'rosidence, (•and having a fair wind),
of saving the lives of the whole. ll:lying steered in Mr the cos;,

When the late Queen, some months s:nce, visited

her in terms too gross to be repeated, was dragged
out of the house by one of her servants, uaine.d

HER LATE MAJESTY.
BRUNSWICK, Auo. 2.i.—Mr. Wolff, in an inter-
view with the executors, Dr. Lushington and Mr.
Wilde, spoke of the hue Queen in terms of almost
paternal affection. This venerable man had been
her early religious instructor, and he mentioned
the amiable qualities she displayed in her infancy
and youth in terms of the highest culagium
This gentleman said, " When she last visited Bruns-
wick (in 1814), immediately on her arrival sh sent
for me, and she received me with such affection, and
with an artlessness of manners so peculiarly her own,
that I could not help throwing myself' upon my
knees at her feet, and blessing God that, though so
many years had elapsed, and her outward circum-
stances so materially changed, she was yet the crea-
ture of that endearing simplicity that so much de-
lighted me in her early years." Tears gushed from
the eyes of the good old man as he told the in-
teresting tale.
SUNDAY, Auo. 26 —This morning, at 9 o'clock,
Lord and Lady Hood, Lady Ann Hamilton, Aid.
Wood, and the other friends of her late Majesty,
with most of' her household, attended divine service
in the cathedral.
The venerable clergyman appeared in a scarf; and
in the latter end of his discourse alluded, in the
most affevting manner to the life and sufferings of
the illustrious lady, whose remains on the preceding
morning had been consigned to the silent tomb. At
this part of his address, many of the male and
almost the whole of the female part of his audience
were in tears Considerable surprise and much in-
dignation were manitizsted by the public on finding
that all the emblems of mourning were removed from
the church.
Many of the most respectable inhabitants of the
place were in mourning; but numbers were deterred,
much against their inclination, fur fear of Wl:tiding
the higher authorities. It is confidently asserted,
that the most positive instructions have been issued
by the Government prohibiting these external marks
of' respect.
Yesterday morning it was rumoured that the
younger part of the ',ovulation of this town intended,
as a mark of respect, to assemble this evening before
the Hotel d'Angleterre, with torches and bands of
music, to serenade the distinguished friends of their
late illustrious Princess; a mode of expressing public
approbutioa very common in Germany. It was,
however, thought proper to prevent it; and in conse-
quence an order was sent round to the merchants and
tradesmen not to suffer their clerks and apprentices
to leave the house; and the police were instructed
to prevent the carrying of lights or the playing of
music. Thus far the design was frustrated ; hut
abiut I 1 o'clock several hundreds of most respectably
dressed individuals assembled before the hotel, and
called for Lord Hood, Dr. Lushington, Alderman
Wood, Rae; and on the appearance of those gentle-
men, and likewise the Ladies Hood and Hatuilton,
they rent the air with their acclamations. They
continued there till considerably after twelve o'clock,
and then separated with the utmost order. Although
they were disappointed in the principal part of their
object, yet no disposition to irregularity was mani-
fested. They seemed to be determined to make full
amends for the absence of music, by the length and
vehemence of their applause. In England that such
a public demonstration of popular feeling should be
prevented taking place on a Sunday might be ac-
counted for on the ground of usage and religious
considerations; but it is impossible that here that
could have been the cause. The theatre, and all
places of public amusement, are opened here on
Sunday ; nor is it the custom of closing the shops
even during the time of divine service.
MONDAY, Auo. 27.—Much bustle was mani-
fested this morning at an early hour befitre ►he hotel
d'Angleterre, and a considerable concourse of people
arrived, and there took their stations. About halt=
past eight a carriage drew up to the door, and two
interesting little girls, dressed in the costume of the
flower-girls that attended the funeral (white frocks,
black sashes, and crape round their heads,) alighted
and inquired firr Lady A. Hamilton. They were
shortly after introduced to her Ladyship, and pre-
sented to her a most pleasing Address trout them-
selves and companions of which the following is a
tratislatimi :
••'s'u LADY A. 11ANIII.TON, NOW IN BRUNSWICK.
•• NI.‘I,ANI,—At the gone of her ,Majesty the lam much
borintned I,lmtn we exp.e,.eil the sentiment of our deeptst
affliction, and how we weli to give our most sincere thanks

deceased aje •ty.
s• May anal hcompen,e you .uhl all the fnithful men and fe-
male .ervants in the late Queen or this universally achnired
tidehty.••
Ihr Ladyship was highly gtatilied with this
simple and alketionate address, and detained her
young friends with li, r a considerable time. On
parting with them she• gate to each some small pre-
sent that bad been the property of her late Majesty,
and with which they w. rc iteligitted beyond bounds.

the most opulent merchants and tradesmen in Bruns-
wick.

Shortly after nine.o'clock a Deputation from the
Citizens and Inhabitants of Brunswick, consisting
of about 30 Gentlemen, all dressed in deep mourn-
ing, arrived at the Hotel. They were soon after
introduced to Lord Hood's apartments, where they
were received by his Lordship, the Ladies, and
other principal personages in their suite. One of
the Gentlemen of the Deputation then stcpt
for-
ward, and read in English the following Address:—
•• To I.ord and Lady Hood, Lady Anne Hamilton, Dr. Lush-
ington, and other distinguished friends of her late MINA gra •
chills Majesty, Caroline, Queen of England."
MY LORD, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—The Citizens
of Brunswick who have requested the honour of waiting upon
you, beg leave to assure you, that our hearts are penetrated with
sentiments of the deepest gratitude for the attachment and
esteem you have at all times shcwn to her Majesty the Lite
Queen of England and rrincess of Brunswick.
Being greatly indebted to the Ducal house of Brunswick.
for numberless benefits, we Venture to offer you our most sincere
thanks ter dial distinguished attachment which you have at all
times siiewn to her Majesty, as a Member of that Illustrious
House. and for the interest you have taken in her manifold
disasters."
To which Lord Hood returned the following
answer :
•• GENTLEMEN,—AIIow me to return you, in the name of
myself and companions, our most sincere thanks for this Hatter•
ing mark of respect, and pleasing testimony of your approbation
of our conduct to the late much Lunented Queen of England and
Princess of Brunswick.
•• We cannot but consider, that your attachment to that
illustrious Lady has influenced you to confer upon us this unex-
pected honour—an honour considerably increased in our ettima •
non by such consideration. Stiffer me again, Gentlemen, itiotit
sincerely to thank you for the flattering mode in which you have
conveyed your sentiments, and to assure you, that it will never
be diked from our recollection."
His Lordship then introduced the Ladies and
Gentlemen around him to the Members of the De-
putation, who bowed and afterwards retired.—
They then proceeded to the apartment of Mr. Alder-
man Wood, to whom they, in Cie same manner,
presented an address, of which the following is a
copy :

• •
" 10 M. WOOD, ESQ. ALDERMAN, AND MEMBER
OF THE wirrisH PARLIAMENT.
" Sin,—.A deputation from the inhabitants and citizens of
Brunswick, very much affeded at the loss of their beloved
Princess, the late Queen of England, thsire to express their •
sensibility of the most active interest which you have kindly
evinced for her welfare• front the time of her last return w
England, till
noes,huly end of her existence. Accept of
our sincere thfur the most noble attachment you have
stiewn her.
" As we hear that it is your intention so shortly to leave our
town, we heartily wish you a safe return to your native country
—the land of freedom mid happiness."
The worthy Alderman then addressed the gen-
tlemen of the deputation in nearly the following
words:—
" GENT LEMEN,....i cannot find words to express the feelings
with which I receive this public avowal of your approbation of
my conduct to our lute must gracious Queen and you, illustrious
Printwss. In the Corporation of London, of which I have the
honour to be a member, I many years ago considered it my duty
to wove an address to that illustrious Lady, die Princess of Wales.
I did this contrary to die wishes of many of my friends, with
whom I was in the habit of acting, who were fearful of its sue:
cess. It was, however, carried by a considerable majority, and
• it was followed by addresses from every part of Great Britain.—
From that time my connection with this great and unfortunate
Lady has been more intimate, and on the death of his late most
gracious Majesty George the Third, I received front her several
letters from the Continent, intimating her determined resolution
of proceeding immediately to England, and, regardless of eon.
sejuences, to assert her claim to ail the rights and privileges of
her high rank, and stating the unpleasant situation in which bile
found herself placed. In consequence 1 hastened to her, and the
noble mahmantmity with which she spurned the offered bribe of
fitly thousand pounds a year, to remain trout England, neither
time nor circumstances can ever efface from my memory. 11cr
only fear was, that compulsory twastues would be adopted to
hinder her proceeding. Nor were those tears allayed till she
stepped on English ground. She was received with open arms
by that great and generous people, who, under all her tiials,
remained her unshaken friends. She had enemies, it is true,
and those enemies Englishmen ! She is now, happily for herself,
released Irons all the wretchedness to winch she was here subject.
The heavy afflictions which she has borne arc now Jim ever over;
and although we, who enjoyed the honour of her intimacy, must
long feel our iruquirable loss, yet to tier it is a happy release. She
died, Gentlemen, as a Christian should the. The day before die
one on which she breathed her last when on being removed from
her chair to her bed, us I was standing by her side, she repeatedly
and fervently declared, that she forgave all her enenites "me cruel-
ties that had brought her to her bet of deadi.
.• By the instructions that Government hail thought proper to
issue respecting her limey'. I was prohibited hum attending as a
mourner from England. I therefore have travelled at my own
expence, to pay this last tribute of respect to one I so highly
reverenced.
" Fur acting as I have done, I have been assailed with innu-
merable calumnies; but while the illustrious decease! pleased to
honour me with her confidence, nothing on caul, should have
induce, me to have withdrawn from her any token of attachment
that it was in any limited power to show.
" I again, Gentlemen, return you my most sincere thanks for
the ph:owing ustintony of your approbation of iny public conduct ;
and likewise for your personal good wishes."
Immediately alter the deputation had withdrawn,
the worthy Alderman, accompanied by his tact, the
Rev. J. I'. Wood, left Brunswick for Hanover. It
is their intention to proceed to England by the route
of llulland and France.

It was in contemplation, by the inhabitants of Brims•
wiels, that these addnsses sionild be picsenied by a tat
its tttttttttttt deputation, and in a style ol 111110
greater mignon enc.:. Bin, It nut the decided part taken
by the Cowl, p tolence was 014)4).01 to this
that Wry sere coo:welled to abandon their intention.—
Very numerous private messages were sent to Lord Hood
and :11th:rosin Wood, Iroin gentlemen of the frt.' re•
specability, alleging what we base alluded to, as the
uu y 'coon that plevented their paying their [Menial
respects, and assuring them how deeply they commise-
rated the sulternti.ts of their lateAlustrious Princess, and
If/flouted all her friends.

The opinion of the Bruuswickers, anti indeed the
opinion of the inhabitants of every part of Germany, is
exactly in unison with the popular feeling in Engrain!.
They say, that the reception given to the remains of
Queen Caroline is a national disgrace; years will not
wipe away the stain. They lament exceedingly that
their young prince has not assumed the reins of govern-
ment: it would not then, exclaim they, have been so.
It is said, that it was not the intention of Government
to order the bells to toll, nor the places of public amuse.
mein to lie closed. Popular indignation was, however,
so loudly and so strongly expressed, that if orders to the
contrary were contemplated, they were not enforced.—
The people, with an ahnost miani tttttt s voice, declared
that they would burst open the doors of the churches,
and, at whatever peril, toll the bells; and au elderly
gentleman, a merchant of considerable opulence in this
town, conceiving that money would be an essential in
effecting the public wishes, instantly put down the sum
of 24K) dollars. ". I knew," said he, " time ilhistriims
deceased in her infancy, and I have since venerated her
sorrows ; and nothing that 1 can do shall be wanting to
give her remains a due reception in her native town."
Out Saturday an incident of rather a ludicrous nattvo
occurred in the immediate vicinity of Brunswick. Two
gentlemen (it is rumoured Englishmen attached to the
Court) appeared in public in coloured clothes. The pa.
palace conceiving this to be a premeditated insult to the
memory of the late Queen, surrounded them, and with-
out the least ceremony, upset them in the mud; the y
then very cooly told them that they now were in half-
mourning, and were requested to go home and put on
black. It is added, that this method of cold dying had
the desired effect, and that these gentlemen have since
always appeared in mourning.
It is said that the young Princes of Brunswick, who
are now prosecuting their studies in Switzerland, were
exceedingly anxious to attend the funeral obsequies of
their royal aunt, but that their earnest application lior
permission met with a decided negative.
The royal vault Is not yet closed. The coffin, con-
tainiog the remains of her late Nlajesty, continues on
the bier; nor will it be deposited in a niche until soon:
other member of the family closes their earthly career.
It appears to be the custom for the last deceased to oc-
cupy that station—the remains of the late Duke were
removed to make room for those of his royal sister. The
flowers have been removed from the coffin, but remain
nattered around the bier ; and a wreath, suspended by
a white riband, is bung over its head.
The principal personages of the suite proceed to Eng-
land by different routes. Orders arc given for horses for
the rettarie of the attendants through liantiver to Cux-
haven; off• which part the Wyc mutt the Gil/mitt arc in
readiness to receive them ; they leave Brunswick at
nine o'clock to-morrow morning.

A private letter from Dublin, dated the 3d inst.
says—" The conduct of the Chief Police Magis.
tratc (Harley), at the close of the late civic enter-
tainment, has been noticed by the Sovereign in a
manner most creditable to his Majesty, and most
congenial to the forgiving temper of that body whom
that underling of the executive had the audacity to
insult. A special messenger from the Castle waited
yesterday spun the Earl of Fingal to request his at-
tendance there. His Lordship on his arrival was
received by Sir B. Bloomfield, who stated that he
was commanded by his Majesty to express to his
Lordship the deep indignation which his Majesty

of the offence would entail a more serious mark
of' the royal displeasure ; and that it was the wish of
the King that these his sentiments should be com-

magistrate of the place, insisted on shaking hands
with him, and on expressing their thanks for his
attachment to her late Majesty.
