THE LATE RIOTS IN BIUMING-

HAM

lIIRSiINtGIAM, FRIDAY EVENING. 1
C6R6NBR., Th
EgijOUed
in-
quest wa.t held At the GrAicral Hall, Ludgate-hill, tit iii
inquire into the cirenniataners connected with the death of
a man named John Binyon, who died in the hospital a few
di) s since from the effects of sabre wounds hill-lewd during
the late riots in this town The inquiry excited much
ititerer4 front the circumstances connected with the death
of the uniorttirfate than. This being the only life sacri-
ficed during the riots and fattier! destruction of property
which took place on the occasion referred to; and as not
unusually happens, the sufferer seems to have been entirely
innoCent of any participation in these disgr...ccful outrages.
A fcf, f4sptetable jury having been sworn„
William Jones, u labourer,deposed that he went in corn-
with the deceased to see the fire on the 15th, when they
got to Bell-street, within a short distance of the Bull. ring,
they were met by so,ne soldiers, who ordered the
deceased to go back. lie accordingly returned about 20
yards, the soldiers following him. Witness observed one of
the foot soldiers gd up to one of the Drag( ons and say
something to him, whereupon the latter turned round and
drew his sword, and rode after the deceased and witness.
As soon a 3 he overtook them he stuck the deceased several
times over the shoulders with the flat of his sword, and
afterwards twice or thrice with the edge on the head and
arm. He then rode away, and the deceased was taken by
some by•standers to Mr. Taylor's in EdgWston-street, where
h s w.,1 n !s were dressed, and by his advice he was after-
ards conveyed to the hospital. The deceased lost about
a quirt of blood as he went along, and while in Mr Taylor's
house he fainte.i. When desired firi,t to go back by the loot
soldier, deceased raid, " Do not hurry me, and I will go."
The horse soldier made no observation before he struck
him, hut after he had given deceased three or four blows,
he said .‘ D—n your soul, make you go back."
He said that before he cut him. tie said that before he
cut cut him. The de,!ea.,ed could not well move away,
because the dragoon had got him within a sort of arch un-
&r the Nlarketiall. notr. all he had seen he could say

there w,is no unwillingness M►u the pre of the deceased to
move awry. The srAdi9r must have known that the de-
ceased could not move away. Witness could not tell why
the soldier used the edge of his sxord after having tied
the flat side.

Mr. atker, Dr. Booth, the Magistrate, and some other
witnesses were afterwards examined, and the Jury, after
cowulting for nearly an hour, returned a verdict " That
the deck-aged came by his death in consevence of wounds
received from a d relgo,lll in the execution of his orders on
Moaday, the lath of Juiy—Justifiable Homicide."

MONEY MARKET and (-ATI' NEWS.

TIMES.--it is to be feared that the Bill just passed
for further relaxing the usury laws, by taking away ail
Linit to the dist:on-A of long-dated bills, is operating most
ihjuiiously to some of the inferior branches of trade, who
are compelled to pay a price out of all proportion to the
irote:es of the first class for that acommudation without
which they cantrot continue their busiur‘ss; and that, unless
relieved by some change in the present state of things,
much in-olvency will be caused by it. No` withstanding the
rise in the value of money, no corresponding advance has yet
taken place in the prcfis of any department Of commerce,
and it is next to impoisible, therefore, that houses of small
capital should continue to pay interest at the rate of
10. 15, and even 20 per cent., as many of them are now
compelled to do. Alt the advantages of the measure
have gone into the hands of the banks and of the great
money-dealers, who can raise capital almost at pleasure,
while the great ma.s of traders are borne down and op-
pressed by it 1).-yond all the anticipations which could have
been formed by the most zealous opponents of it. The
subject is viewed by reflecting men in the City with very
great uneasiness.
Some further sales were privately made of Exchequer
bills, whi,h reduced the premium to 4,, but they left off
at 4s. to 6s. Consols were rather -heavy, with a slight
decline, the closing quotations bang 91k to 92 for money,
and for account 921. Bank Stock remains 186 to 187;
India Stock, 251 to 252; India Bands, 15s. premium.
Some aninmion may be observed iii the market for
Spanish Securities; and the Actives, with'the May Cou-
pons, left off rather wetter in price, being 191 to The
improvement, insignificant as it is, vaguely attributed to
n. golions for peace, reported to be carrying on between
Lord John Hay and Maroto, the Carlist General, the sole
foundation for which appears to be the interview, already
known, which had taken place between them in relation
to the savage mode of warfare equally adopted by both
the belligi rent parties. - Portuguese recovered a shade,
