was not near enough to ser any thing about theta. His
,nly interest, however, t' t 5 as to what was statA about
the Thames Police officer, who with a party of the Bow-
street officers were there during the whoe tiine, no obje.:-
tion could be made to tl;e:r conduct while he wils thetc.
and he understood that the Lambeth-street officers were
equally well conducted. Such was the correctness of the
arrans-ements at his office, that if any officer had been
guilty of misconduct, it must have been return,d in„
port the next morning. No such complaint, hov: eve„
was made, and he felt bound to state, that there was no
truth in the report of the Grarier of last night,
that they had been either drunk or disorderly.
spoke in the presence of many persons who were presem.
on the occasion, and he called upon any person trio Ltd
observed any such misconduct en the part of time officers to
come fbrward, and there openly state it.
The Rev. J. Smith, of Penzance, said that he was
there soon after the accident, and he never was more sur-
prised than when be saw the statement in the Courier last
might. Ho never saw any appearance of intoxication on
behalf of the officers, their conduct was most exemplary
and their exertions in calling up sailors and labourers, to
assist ix digging for the sufferers. He never witnessed
more regularity, or more persevering industry, on aces-
, sions calculated to call forth energetic efforts, either in the
navy or the army, than was exercised on this occasion by
the sailors and the officers.

Several west respectable persons here bore testimony to
the good conduct of the officers, and the untruth of tle,
statement in the Courier.
Mr. Ballantine thanked them for thus candidly coming
forward to tender justice to the officers, who had been up
two nights, and who were paid nothing additional 'for
their exertions.

The CoaoNcrt stated, that from his own observation
he was certain there was no foundation for the statement
in questien. He was sorry, however, to say, that there
was some irregularity among the parochiel officers under
his direction, which he should feel it his duty to make the
subject of enquiry elsewhere. He felt deeply the impr3-
priety of such conduct, in a time of such distress.
The Coroner then informed the Jury that it would be
necessary to visit the house where the body of Joseph
Levy was lying, and then to return to the Court •
'house. A number of officers attended the Jury arel
Coroner, in order to clear a way through the snob
for them, and the body was brought for their view into
the court in which the house is situate. The Jury after
viewing the body which was dreadfully mangled, returned
and resumed their inquiry.
The brother of the deceased then deposed that he lives in
Brook-court, in the parish of Christ Church. The body
seen by the Jury is that of his brother, who had no con-
nexion with the theatre. He supposed he must have acci-
dentally gone that way in the pursuit of his occupation iii
=ening old clothes. Saw him alive on Wednesday evening
last.

Just after the examination of this witness, a Juryman
informed the Coroner that he had just been informed, the,
a female had a few minutes before been extricated alive
from the ruins.

Till' CORONER observed, that however interesting that
fart might be to their feelings, yet they must confine their
inquiries to the case before them.
After some further observations, the Coroner adjourned
the inquest till nine o'clock next Wednesday morning, and.
bound over all the Ju►ymen to attend.
On leaving the Court-house, every one felt anxious
to inquire the state of the femle who had been so miracu-
lously saved. Crowds of people had again assembled, ...p-
-parently fur the same purpose, and it was with the
greatest difficulty we could ascertain if such a desirable oc-
currence were true, and we are sorry to announce that it
was not so. A woman, for some purpose or other, was
climbing over the ruins when she slipped with great vio-
lence into a chasm, and fell together with soma
part of a wall. She, of course, was assisted in-
stantly, and was found to have received a few bruises
on her leg of no great injury. She was taken to
the Hospital to have them dressed, and the crowd eagerly
rumoured that she had been saved from the fall. The sol-
diers and officers have still great difficulty in keeping back
the crowd.
