so placed, but '..ad he gone down in a trot, he must certainly
have fallen..
The Court then adjourned to Wednesday morning. It did
not rir4e till eight o'clock.

WEDNESDAY—SECOND DAY.
The investigation before Sir Frederick Roe was resumed
this morning at nine o'clock.
The first witness called was Mr. William Parke.—l am a
bookseller, living opposite the Swan Hotel, in 'Wolverhamp-
ton. There was not any disposition to violence on Tuesday,
the 26th ult. On Wednesday, about a quarter past six I was
coming aevoss to the hotel, when a man behind pulled me down
by toe shoulders backwards, and began to trample on me. The
shouting of the mob attracted some special constables to my
assistance. I think there were three constables came to me.
I don't recollect whether the soldiers fired before the horse fell.
There was no attempt to act with the civil power in clearing
the streets, before the military came. I have lived here many
years, and do not think there was more danger on this occa-
sion than at former elections.
Mr. William Salter and Mr. Robert Raby were next ex-
amined. Their evidence agreed in the main points with that
of the two preceding witnesses.
Mr, Henry Gibbons—l was sworn in a special constable. I
saw stones thrown at the military in the Market-place. In
Smithfield I saw two carts fastened together in the most de-
termined manner I ever saw any barricade in my life. I don't
know whether the soldiers had any drink—with one exception,
they were perfectly sober. I saw one man drunk
i in the Swan-
yard. The soldiers behaved with forbearance n assisting us
to clear the public-houses. I have resided here all my life.
There was much more disposition to violence on the late occa-
sion than I have witnessed before.
Mr. Robert, Sidney—l was sworn in a special constable.
The mob was very great. I saw persons spit upon. I must
speak of the soldiers with the most unbounded praise. I only
saw one soldier drunk in the Market-place. A sergeant took
him into the Swan-yard and pulled him off his horse.
Mr. Underhill—Nothing material was elicited from this
witness. He spoke only to the tumultuousness of the people.
Mr. Thomas Simpson—On Wednesday an assemblage took
place opposite the Swan. There were 2,000 or 3,000 at seven
or eight o'clock. They insulted everybody at the Swan, by
spitting, groaning, and throwing stones at them. The shops
in the Market-place were closed about seven. They usually
close about nine. Mine was closed about seven in consequence
of the riot. I saw Mr. Clare between seven and eight o'clock
addressing the crowd. I saw no violence offered to him. He
proceeded about fifteen or twenty yards into the market-place
from the Swan Inn. I saw Mr. Clam read the Riot Act, and
Isaw him struck with a stone before he read it. I did not
bear him give any orders, but I saw the soldiers charge the
crowd. The crowd was very obstinate, and would not move. I
saw the soldiers shamefully pelted immediately after the Riot
Act was read. They conducted themselves with great for-
bearance. I saw two horses fall in the market-place ; the first
horse fell about half an hour before the last—he appeared to
slip upon the pavement. The mob gave a great shout when
the last horse fell.
Mr. Mortiboy, Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Smith,
and Mr. Robertson were next examined. Their evidence was
corroborative of that of the preceding witnesses.
Dr. Mannix—There were 4,000 persons in the market-
place, and the excitement was great ; when Mr. Clare ad-
dressed the people, and told them he should read the Riot
Act, stones were thrown at him, but I don't know whether
any struck him. After the Riot Act was read, the troops
instantly set about clearing the market-place and streets ;
they met with resistance so great, that I saw two or three
soldiers at one spot some minutes together, persuading the
people to go away ; the soldiers struck the people with the
flats of their swords ; I saw the horse fall, and observed that
he had received a mortal wound ; I cannot tell whether any
shots had been fired previous to the horse falling.
Mr. Brown, resides in the Market place. At five o'clock
on Wednesday the 27th, there was an assemblage of people
in the market-place ; there must have been 3,000 or 4,000
people in the streets ; the soldiers were then in George-
street, and divided this mass of people ; I saw no act of vio-
lence then ;at half-past eight I returned up Dudley-street,
and came peaceably to within 100 yards of the Swan; a oar
was coming up, and the mob threw at about six soldiers from
behind the car; the soldiers came up to them, and the mob
gave way on all sides ; I was at my room window' till half-past
eleven; there were during that time people running into the
entries, and were followed by the soldiers ; stones continued
to fail till half-past ten or eleven ; the soldiers behaved with
moderation.
Mr. Fereday_About four o'clock on Wednesday there was
a crowd following Mr. Jones ; stones were thrown, and one
struck Mr. J. on the eye ; they followed him all the way up
Queen-street, throwing at him. At nine o'clock the soldiers
rode among the people; I saw two or three horses fall ; some
slipped down, but got up again directly; some of their riders
,were thrown ; I saw the horse that was killed ; I don't think
there had been any firing before this horse fell ; directly after,
I heard firing; I could command a view of the Licht-gates,
and I saw the soldiers fire there ; all the soldiers I was with
were sober ; I saw them have something to drink at the Swan ;
a little after eleven the town was pretty quiet ; there were not
many special constables together that night.
Mr. Henry Haines, Mr. Edward Harris, and Mr. J. Neve,
were then examined ; at which juncture Mr. Robinson came
into the room, in consequence of a note sent to him by Mr.
Roaf. The latter suggested, that as all the witnesses were
now speaking to the same facts, which were universally ad-
mitted, whether it would not be well to have only those who
could speak to new incidents.
Mrs. Lowe saw people pick up stones, and one man throw
them at the soldiers.
Mr. Cholditch - I went with the larripmen at half-past tee
on. Wednesday to light the l-,mps ; I remember that in doing
this, near the Castle in Dudley-street, there was a fold from
Thence the stones struck the military ; the constables upon
that went into Pountne)'s fold: as far as I saw of the soldiers,
they acted with the greatest forbearance. I was in the streets
from nine till eleven.
Mr. Hutton-_I saw the horse that fell dead. There were
stones thrown at the military, and one of them was hit by
three stones ; he said, " This is too bad." Every time the
soldiers retired, the people came forward again from the
churchyard and pelted the soldiers. I saw a soldier fire at a
blank wall, down an entry in Lichfield-street.
Mr. J. Webster-_I saw a soldier strike two men with the flat
of his sword, they were certainly moving on, though I sup-
pose not fast enough, they were not both together. I heard
two reports in Queen-street. No one with me could tell who
fired them. The soldier made the cut at the door-way, I think,
to frighten me, and if I had not fallen back, the sword must
have reached me. The blow struck a piece out of the shut-
ter, which forms part of the door.
Mr: Warner--I know of no precautions having been adopted
to secure the peace during the late election. I accompanied
the High Constable on Monday to the Peacock, for the pur-
pose of making some arrangements, but the proposals were
not acceded to. There were several instances of a disposi-
tion to break the peace on the Tuesday. I saw two horses
fall.

Rev. C. Girdlestone_l am Vicar of Sedgley. I came, on
the 26th, to vote, in a coach with four other voters. We gave
our votes without interruption. On regaining our carriage,
the mob spat upon us and hooted us. I considered myself in
danger in voting. I should say that the groaning and spitting
showed such a poisoned state of mind, that it would require
little to have subjected me to personal violence. They spat
upoa the carriage also. We were afraid of remaining in the
carnage, and got out. We got in again, and got safe home.
Mr. Smith—l was Sir F. Goodricke's principal agent at
the election ; I was in Wolverhampton on the 26th and 27th
ult. ; on the Tuesday I saw that the mob in the market-place
were violent ; on Wednesday the mob was very riotous ; I saw
a respectable man come in with his coat torn ; I saw Mr. Clare
walking between the people and the soldiers, and appear to be
talking ; they received him with groans, and menaced him ;
he then came into the balcony of the Swan, and I saw him in
the attitude of addressing the mob ; shortly after the soldiers
wheeled about, and appeared to be in the act of clearing the
market-place ; a great many people seemed unwilling to go ;
I saw a soldier go to a man near the Swan, and talk to him ;
after being with him several minutes the soldier struck his hat
off; he afterwards struck him with the flat of his sword, and
he would not move then ; he then almost knocked him down,
and yet could not get him away, and I then saw him flourish
the sword over him, and the man still would not move ; this
appeared to be very generally the case.
John Sanders and Thomas York were the next witnesses
examined. They corroborated the evidence of some of the
former witnesses as to the state of the people in the market-
place on the days of election, &c., but no new facts were eli-
cited from them.
Adjourned at nine o'clock.

MUNICIPAL REFORM.—We stop the press to
present our readers with an outline of the measure brought for-
ward by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons last
night; for which we are indebted to the spirited exertions of
the conductors of The Sun newspaper.—Dover Chronicle.
By the Victory, Steamer, which reached our Quay,
after a very expeditious passage from Bristol, on Sunday, at
2 o'clock, we received a despatch from our private corres-
pondent, with copies of the Express Edition of The Sun of
Friday night, containing Lord John Russell's speech deve-
loping the great measure of municipal reform for England
and Wales. Saturday's mail reached this morning in course.
—Cork Southern Reporter, June 9.
The Speech of Lord John Russell, which will be
found amongst our Parliamentary reports, in introducing his
measure on the subject of the English and Welsh Corporations,
is taken from a late Edition of The Sun of Friday evening,
This Edition was despatched from London to Bristol by Ex-
press—brought thence by the Victory steamer, and delivered
at this office a few minutes after two o'clock on Sunday ; up-
wards of four and forty hours before the speech can reach us
by the regular arrival! This acknowledgment is dile to the
exertions of the Proprietor of The Sun.—Cork Constitution,
June 9.

NEW NOVELS ON THE EVE OF PUBLICATION.--
We have the gratification to announce that the successful
author of " Tales of an Arctic Voyager," has another new
series on the eve of publication, entitled " The Thurlston
Tales." Those of our readers who remember the intense in-
terest of " The Wreck Ashore," and other pieces dramatised
from his former work, will anticipate a great treat in his forth-
coming ono. Another announcement is " Plantagenet,"—a
work in which, under the convenient garb of fiction, the life
and (loath of Canning are faithfully pourtrayed. The same
publisher has just issued young Godwin's " Transfusion,"—a
work which has already attained considerable popularity.
The veteran Boaden, too, is in the field with his " Doom of
Giallo"—the principal' scenes of which are taken from Mr.
Beckford's " Letters from Italy." It is a production of
thrilling interest

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1835.

Saint-Andrew -Agnewism, it would appear, is in no
greater favour in the House of Lords, than it is in
the Commons, for on the Bishop of HEREFORD pro--
posing the insertion of a clause in the Newcastle and
Carlisle Railway Bill last night, to the effect that no
locomotive engines should be allowed to "run on Sun-
days, the clause was rejected by a majority of 21 ! We
congratulate their Lordships on the evident sagacity
that has prompted this decision ; still more, on the
kindly tone of feeling that prevailed among them dur-
ing the discussion. Even those who supported the
clause acknowledged that Sunday restriction Acts
should fall with equal severity on the rich, as on the
poor ; and that it was better not to legislate at all on
the subject, than to do so in a partial spirit. This is
sound doctrine, and at once gives the death-blow to
cant and fanaticism. The ablest speech of the night
was decidedly the Duke of RICHMOND'S, who said,
" permission to enjoy railway exercise on Sundays
would be a great benefit to the inhabitants cf New-
castle. Surely such a resource would be better for
the working classes, than spending their time in the
beer-shops I He agreed that the higher classes of
society should set a good example to their inferiors ;
and he should ever object to a Bill which would pre
vent the poor, unfortunate inhabitants of Newcastle,
from being drawn by an engine, while he might travel on
the high road with fourpost-horses if he pleased. If their
Lordships legislated at all, let them do it for the high
and the low, the rich and the poor." So say we—so
says evecy honest citizen—but so do not say those twin
babes of exclusive righteousness, Saint POULTER and
Saint AGI4EW. Their Bills, could they by any possi-
bility have passed into a law, would only have affected
the humbler portions of the community. Not one
single rich man, out of the thousands in which this
country abounds, would have been in the slightest de-
gree annoyed by them. They were nets dexterously
spread to catch the minnows, but to allow the larger
fish to break through, and escape. For- instance,
in a Morning Contemporary of Monday last, we
saw an account of two large dinner parties, given
on the preceding day, one by the Duke of CUM-
BERLAND, the other by Sir ROBERT PEEL. Now,
here, even on the Saints' own showing, was a
glaring profanation of the Sabbath, for throughout
that holy day, cooks_ must have been at work
in the kitchen, servants in the dining-room, pos-
tillions and coachmen on the high road, in
order to furnish forth the means of enjoyment to
these illustrious individuals and their guests I Would
the Bills in question, then, have reached these lofty
delinquents and their subordinates ? Not a bit of it
Their spirit was too exclusive. They would have
touched only the poor man who dared to hire a horse,
ride on a rail-road, or send a leg of mutton to his
baker's. The Bishop of LONDON supported the ob-
noxious clause on a very extraordinary principle. He
objected to Sunday travelling on a rail-road, because it
" was at present a novelty, and would always be at-
tended with excitement and rapidity," from which
we infer that things are only impious so long as they
are novel ; and that though an episcopal trot,, on
the Lord's Day is virtuous, yet an exciting gallop
is sheer Atheism. The worthy Prelate went on
to say, "As to the case of steam-boats, rivers
were the established high-roads of commerce,
and the addition of a steam-boat created no new temp-
tation"—what, not when the fares from London to
Gravesend are lowered to a shilling a passenger ?
" but here was a rail-way carried into a new part of
the country, and offering a fresh temptation to the
agricultural classes to neglect their duties." It would
seem from this, that land and water make all the diffe-
rence in a case like the present ; that to travel by a
steam-boat is perfectly orthodox, because it is
on the " established high-road of commerce ;" but
to travel by a rail-road is diametrically the re-
verse, because it is " carried into a new part
of the country." This is the most extraordi-
nary sample of Episcopal logic we have met
with, since the days when the Archbishop of
TUAM attempted to prove in the House of Lords,
