awl Henry Bankes, Mr. Herc,tt, John and
iarnett, Mr. Jones, Mr. MarAhall, and witnes:;.
Captain Evans in the chair. After several tea.st.;
had been drank, I was called upon to name

a gentleman; I declined it. Cafitnin Evans
hen gave the health of 'Mr. Parker lett-
handed, and all drank it but poor Hurcott and me.
A confusion took place on our refusal to think it. Mr.
Henry Bankes said I was a Jacobin. I said upon
this, gentlemen, Mr. Parker is as good as any of you.
I reproached Captain Evans, as a Magistrate, for
breaking the peace, and said I was no Jacobin, and
offered to tight the best man of them. Capt. Evans
said, " - you, you ought to be turned out of

e room for not drinking the toast." I knew Richard
runing. About four svueks before the murder I saw him
CA grounds. Mr. l'Ark,r asked me the re,win of

his being there, and chewed me ihe foot marks be made io
the grass. I have seen Clewes and Hemming drinking to-
gether at Droitwich about six months before the murder
it might be less), and drank with them. I saw Cloves
pay for a quart of drink Hemming and Clewes had. I
saw Mr. Jahn B ,rnett the evening of the murder with the
Rev. R. Pyndar.
Be the time the last witness's examination closed, five

o'clock had arrived, and the Jury rose for the purpose of a
short wijourament to enable them to take some reresl:-
ment. Previously, however, to their being joined by the

Coroner, and Mr. Bass, the foreman, theistter made a
,leposition before the Rev. Robert Clifton, a county Ma-
gistrate (who had been present throughout the day's pro-
ceedings), to the effect that he, William Bass, was foreman
of the Coroner's Jury, then sitting at the Talbot Inn, to
inquire into the supposed mu,der of the late Richard Hem-
ming, of Droitwich, and that in the c:arrse of such inquiry,
such evidence had been adduced, as induced him to believe
that Thomas Clewes, of Oddingley, farmer, had a " Guilty
Knowledge of such Murder," and that the purposes of
public justice, he verily believed, would he furthered by tho
commitment to prison of the said Thomas Clewes, for
further examination.

Mr. Bass having sworn to the above, Thomas Clewes
was ordered to he brought into the room, and he was
made acquainted with the eon!ents of the deposition, and
the purposes of it. Ile betrayed net the slightest agita-
tion or alarm ; he protested himself entirely innocent of
having in the slightest degree been privy to Hemming's
othheerewwasi without pri-
son,deathh,
he
saidnd when ns toldould thatg atoubefes:rnat
stoto
result. A warrant for his committal for further examina-
tion on Friday next, was then placed in the hands of two
constables, who immediately proceeded with him to the
county gaol.
After a short absence, the Jury returned to the inquest
room, anti resumed the inquiry. Several other witnesses
were then examined, and at half-past nine an adjourn-
ment took place until Tuesday next, February 2, at nine
o'clock.
There are yet to be examined fifteen or sixteen wit-

nesses (including the widow of the late Mr. Parker and
his daughter, whq arrived from Lichfield this =ming) ;
it is thought, therefore, this grave inquiry will occupy
three more days at least. The Court throughout the slay
was crowded to excess.

In the course of the morning a not. was handul to the

Coroner by a gentleman in the room, awing it ita hir

opinion that the evidence given should not be permitted
to be made public. From the outset of the inquiry,

however, Mr. Smith had decieleil upon allowing of the
pub:ication of the proceedings, and in pursuance of which
we have taken- the utmost pains to lay them accurate),

and fully before our readers. That tile objection made
thereto by the gentleman to whom we have alluded pro-

ceeded flo.m the purest motives admits nit of a question
but that Mr. Smith, in the course he has ad tpted, acted
with a sound discretion, is, in our humble opinion,
:is fir removed from doubt ; and, perhaps, no better proof
of which can be afforded than the fact, that the publica-
tion of Tuesday's proceedings in our respectable contem-
porary print, of yesterday, was the means of John Cal.
tins, examined this day, being brought forward u a wit-
ness, and of the inquest being put into possession of
those most important facts, which it will be seen his evi-
deuce discloses.

YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND NED NEAL.

The dispute between these boxers is as far as evir from
being adjusted. It has been already stated that the
umpires had written to Mr. Gulley, requesting that he
woull name three gentlemen, from whom they might
select a referee. It will be seen by the following letter
from Mr. G. that it is not in his power to comply with
the wishes of the umpires

Hare Park, 24th Jan. 1830.

GENTLYmEN,—I beg to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 23d inst., and I should be very happy to
comply with your request if I knew of three Sporting
Gentleman likely to accept of the office imposed upon
them—hut I do not ; for when I was in town a few days
since, I then asked several friends of mine if they would
undertake it in case of being applied to—not one could I
prevail on to accept the office. Had I succeeded, I would
Lave called on you, gentlemen, and given you his same,
and if you approved of hint, to have brought the matter in
dispute to a conclusion, as I felt anxious it should be, and
am extremely sorry I cannot render you the assistance you
require.

I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JNO. GULLEY.

BERLIN, JAN. 20.—The Anniversary of the
Coronation, and the general Chapter of the Orders of the
Knighthood, were celebrated yesterday. The persons at
Berlin who have received insignia siuce the last Chapter,
and those whom his MaJasx: bad invited to receive
them to-day, were assembled in the Palace, where the
General Commissioner of the Orders delivered, in his MA..
J ESTY'S name, the several Orders and marks of distinction
to the persons for whom they were designed. AU the
latter were then conducted into the Hall of the Orders,
where the CROWN PRINCE, and all the Princes of the
Biood, were assembled, as well as the other Knights in-
vited. After a speech from the Grand Master of the Ce-
remonies, Privy Councillor RAIJAILIL read a list of the
Orders conferred on occasion of the fete, and a rescript of
the KING, extending the Orders and marks of distinction
established 15th Jan., 1830.
Both Mr. BENSON and Mr. LONSDALE are
spoken of as likely to bseome the new Bishop. They
are both Cambridge men, and it is the turn of that Uni-
versity.

Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE will succeed the uew
Juige BoSANQUET as Counsel to the Bank.

CHARLES KNIGHT MURRAY, ESq., private
Secretary to the LORD Citexcitt.Loa, is appointed Secre-
tary to the new Ecclesiastical Commission.

MISS SMITHSON is performing with great
success in Belfast. The newspaper critics of that place
speak of her with enthusiasm. Her BLLYIDERA, indeed,
seems to have already electrified the audience.

The lands of the Noble Marquis of STAF-

Lord REAY'S country, stretch over a tract exceeding 100

1508, Dr. LUXMORY was translated to Hereford ; and in
1815, on the death of Dr. Cr.ravxx, he was chosen
Bishop of St. Asaph. His Lordship educated his sons

Some of the " lower class" of the London
Papers still continue to mislead their readers by fabricated
reports of his MAJKSTY.fi illness, for which there is nor
the slightest foundation. We rejoice to say that our be..
loved Sovereign continues in the best health—takes a long
daily promenade in the Corridor—looks well and is well.
We state this on unquestionable authority—but if our
Cockney contemporaries fancy they can dispose of a few
extra papers by contradicting this, they are at full liberty
to labour in their discreditable vozation. —Berkshire
