BOXING.

A very game battle for 50 guineas took place
on Thursday morning, in a 40 acre field belonging to Capt. Cove-
ney, at Laton, Bucks, . six miles from Gerrard's Cross. The
heroes for the day's sport were George Matthews, the tinman,
backed by Capt. Coveney, and Davey, the Walton navigator,
two eleven stone men, who had won several battles. It took
place in an 13 feet square. The tinman was seconded by Jones
and Meadows, and Davey by 13. Ford and Young Bellhorse.
Six as manly stand-up rounds were fought as ever were seen,
when an accident terminated the combat. There was not a
parry attempted, and the men were not artists enough to hurt
each other in a close, except in throwing. The first round lasted
four minutes in exchanging hits, and more daring was never dis-
played. The play was made by the tinman, but-every hit was
returned, and he was thrown.

2. Da;my had his lip laid open by a right hand facer, but that
did not dismay him. He returned boldly to the scratch, and
exchanged many hits. In closing they had a trial at the weav-
ing system, but it was awkward as a bear dance, and both went
down. Both diopped the claret freely.
3. A short but manly round in favour of Davey, who floored
his adversary by a chattering hit on the jaw.
4. Counter hits were exchanged at meeting, which sent both
from the scratch, anti gave them a little time to consider ; but
they soon met, turned to again, and fought to a stand still.—
Davey was thrown.
5. The tinman was much punished about the upper part of
the head, and, after a good rally, he was floored by a body
blow.—Davey the favourite.

6th and last. At meeting, hits were exchanged, and another
rally followed, with heavy blows. Davey) was thrown a somer-
set, and pitching on the right arm, it dislocated it, and won tl e
battle for the tinman, in 27 minutes.

What fate is reserved by Providence for those
unfortunate remains of • a People who formerly
opened the career of knowledge, genius, and
glory to the Several nations of Europe, but who
also preceded them in the paths of social degene-
ration and political decay, is a question which
now occupies the attention of all minds. Will the
modern. Greeks obtain an asylum where, under
their own laws, they may recommence their
social existence, and present to the world the
instructive and unprecedented spectacle of a
nation reviving from its own ashes ? If the throne
of CONSTANTINE, like that of ALEXANDER, IS
fallen never to rise again, if the idea.of a new
Byzantine Empire is, under existing circum-
stances, only an illusive project, shall we see
the realization of more ru,.le:ate views, of pla..s
more conformable to the situation of the people
of Turkey,' and more compatible with treaties
which we ought to reSpea, and with interests
which we ought to conciliate ? Shall we witness,
in some corner of the Greek provinces, the re-
appearance of those republican States of im-
mortal antiquity, or those despotic Governments
formed by the dismemberment of the Byzantine
Empire, or finally of those Duchies in the time
of the Crusades, over which several noble fami-
lies and even Sovereigns possessed ancient rights ?
In all these cases, the fine peninsula of the
Peloponnesus, now called the Morea, attracts
the attention of well informed and sensible men,
not only as the theatre of war, but also as being the
country best calculated to receive the first germs of
Hellenic independence. The Peloponnesus pos-
sesses over 'the Isle of Cyprus the advantage of a
more healthy climate, and a more extensive ter-
ritory ; over the Island of Crete,' that of not
being filled with a Mussulman population, the
cultivators and proprietors of the soil ; over the
Islands of the Archipelago, that of presenting a
more compact mass and containing positions more
capable of defence ; lastly, over every part of
ancient Greece, that of being immediately next
to an European and a Christian State, the Sept-
Insular or lonian Republic.
In the days of antiquity, the Peloponnesus was
considered as the citadel of Greece : there, at the
time of the Persian invasion, the Greeks pro-
posed to seek a last asylum and to fight their last
battles ; there Philip, Alexander, and Antipater
met with an armed opposition, when Athens, for
some time past, had fought only with words ; and
there it was that all-powerful Rome encountered
some difficulty in stifling the flame of liberty
which, rekindled by Philopcemen, expired in his
tomb. Thus, from the brilliant poetry of Homer
to the historic prose, already a little degenerated,
of Polybius, the annals of Greece are identified
with those of the P-elOponnesus : it was this pen-
insula which saw the rise of the first thrones, and
the fall of the last republics ; and it was on its
shores that the shouts of victory resounded at the
fall of Ilion, and the cries of despair at the de-
struction of Corinth.

The Peloponnesus presents a surface of about
nine hundred square leagues, twenty-five to a
degree; it is true, that up to the present moment
we do not possess any authentic map of this coun-
try. Besides, the geographical surface of a coun-
try abounding in mountains and vallies is always
less than the actual surface; the difference being
about equal to the superficies of the sides of
mountains which can be appropriated to agricul-
ture and the habitations of man. Supposing this
estimate of nine hundred square leagues to be
nearly right, we conceive that this peninsula, in
the hands of a free, enlightened, and industrious
people, could easily support 2000 men for every
square league, or 1,800,000 in the whole. This is
the minimum of the population which can be assign-
ed to it at the period of the great Peloponnesian,
war; we think that this number might be thus
distributed, viz. from 400 to 500,000 to Laconia,
200,000 to Messenia, 350 to 400,000 to Arcadia,
250,000 to Elis, as many to Achaia, 129 to
150,000 to Corinth, and 250,000 to Argolis, with
Epidaurus and Trezenus, or Trezena. In the
present day, what a change ! A modern travel-
ler reckons the whole population at 340,000 in-
dividuals, 40,000 of whom are Turks. It is
however a handful of population, capable of form-
ing the germ of a state in the privileged position
assigned to her by nature.
The isthmus which joins the Continent of
Greece to the peninsula, is not more than 40
stadia (40 English furlongs) broad, but the wall
which was built across it, and which Mahomet
caused to be taken down, might probably be
commanded from the top of the Onian mountains
by our heavy pieces of modern artillery. Indeed
the Onian mountains, a group detached of the
same time from the mountains of .the Continent
and those of the peninsula, are capable in their
natural state of being made the bulwark of the
Peloponnesus, but with the aid of a few batteries
they would become almost impregnable.'
To the west of this grand entrance into the
Peloponnesus, the small Mediterranean sea, now
called the Gulf of Lepanto, stretches; it is a
species of lake surrounded by high mountains,
from which tempestuous winds and real water-
spouts frequently descend, and which at other
times intercept the currents of air, so that the
Gulf in the space of a few hours presents by
turns a mirror of azure and a chaos of foaming
waves. The waters, impelled violently on the
coasts of the Peloponnesus, often rise above the
rocks and the tallest trees; but these extraordi-
nary agitations are most commonly accompanied
by earthquakes, of which, in former times, seve-
ral towns in Achaia were the victims. On the
other hand, the most eastern extremity of
the gulf, which washes the picturesque declivi- I

ties of Mounts Helicon and Cithwron, has ac-
quired, from its undisturbed tranquillity, the ap-
pellation of the Sea of the Kings-fishers.---
M. Scrofani says, that a sort of tide-which flows
six hours, has been observed in the Gulf of Le-
panto, a fact which requires • further examina-
tion. The contracting of this gulf towards its
mouth is such, that the two forts denominated
the Dardanelles ci Lepanto, if better
might dispute the entrance of ships of War into
this beautiful basin, from which the superb fleets
of Corinth, which founded• Syracuse, Corcyra,
and many other rich colonies, sailed in former
times. Thisnear approach of the coasts is produc-
tive however of this disadvantage, that an invad-
ing army might easily and quickly be transported
across to the Peloponnesus ; the Etolians, famous
robbers of antiquity, and their modern rivals, the
Albanians, have oftener than once made use of
this passage.
We cannot form a better idea of the labyrinth
of mountains and vallies, which compose the in-
terior of the Peloponnesus, than by considering
Arcadia, the centre of the whole Peninsula, as a
platform more elevated in general than all the
rest, though it is itself strewed with inequalities.
This platform, the climate of which was found
by the antients both cold and nebulous, still pre-
serves its former aspect : here, forests of oak and
pine ; there, naked but verdant plains ; its pro-
ductions consisted of numerous herds of cows and
goats, of aromatic milk, of strong wines, but so
impregnated with particles of earth, as to become
a thick composition : this was the Arcadia of Aris-
totle and Pliny, and it bears the same characters in
the descriptions of the moderns. The greater
number of the rivers of the Peloponnesus rise in
Arcadia. The Eurotas, winding from ravine to
ravine in a southerly direction, reaches the great
valley of Laconia, where, under the modern name
of the royal river, (Vasili Potamos), it bathes the
silent ruins of Sparta ; the Alpheus, flowing
through marshy meadows, seeks in the west. the
Plains of Elis, and the solitary sales where for-
merly stood Olympia. Other rivers, not finding
any outlet, precipitate, like the Stymphalus, their
frigid waters into subterranean gulfs.
From the middle of Arcadia, the high chain of
,Taygetus takes a southerly course. It remind-
ed M. de Chateaubriand of the aspect of the
Alps, when he saw it above the sea at ten leagues
distance : the snow remains in its vallies until
the middle of summer. Cape Tenarus, now
Matapan, (that is, the all-destroyer), justifies by
its frightful aspect the superstition which placed
there the entrance into the empire of Pluto, but
the eastern sides of this chain appeared to Mr.
Galt in his journey from Maina to Mistra, like
a beautiful English park; on that spot the Spar-
tan warriors went in pursuit of excellent game
for their feasts; and there also did the virgins of
Lacedemon celebrate the festival of 13acchui, and
performed parts in their tragedies, which at their
first institution were composed of hymns in honour
of the God of the vintage.
; Opposite to Taygetus, Mount Zarex, detach-
ing itself from the south-east corner of the plat-
form of Arcadia, skirts the gulf of Argos, and
forms Cape Malea', or Malio. The fertile and
magnificent valley of Laconia, bounded by these
two chains, and opening to the south on the fine
gulf of Kolokythia, must therefore experience
by turns intense cold and suffocating heat, a cli-
mate the hardy Spartan of old enjoyed so much
the more, as all laborious works were performed
by his slaves.
At the south-west corner of the platform of
Arcadia, Mount Lycaus presents a chaiti of
small elevation, which stretching itself into a
group forms Messenia " a basket of flowers,
placed on the bosom of the waters," as is ob-
served by M. de Chateaubriand. All the world
has read his admirable description of this part of
the Peloponnesus. A distinguished artist, M.
Castellan, has taken some views, not only of the
environs of Coron and of Nisi, but also of the
western coast of Navarino and of
,Philatrea,
which M. de Chateaubriand did not visit ; he
found there a stronger' vegetation, larger trees,
and those weeping willows which the author of
the Martyrs regrets : the sketch he has drawn of
the country-house of the Bey of Coron might
serve as a model even for our amateurs.

Elis may be regarded as a fertile plain touch-
ing the western bases of the central platform :
but by the side of its smiling plantations of cur-
rants and its line cotton-fields lie the salt-pans,
the source of disease.

The northern boundaries of the platform of
Arcadia are studded with mountains ; Cyllenus,
Erynuinthus, and Olenus, present probably as
high ridges as Taygetus and Lycaeus. The land
which separates at this point the central platform
from the coast is ancient Achaia, a district occu-
pied, it is true,by rocky hills in the eastern part,
but which, in the direction of Patras, possesses
large and fertile plains. Chandler, who ex-
presses himself too briefly, saw there only clumps
of liquorice trees ; but Olivier, a learned bota-
nist, agrees with M. Pouqueville, a recent French
traveller, in admiring the beautiful and rich vege-
tation of this northern extremity of the Pelopon-
nesus. Corn, cotton, and currants, are there as
plentiful as the liquorice. However, we cannot
call in question the accounts of Chandler respect-
ing the temporary unwholesomeness of the atmos-
phere, when the north-east wind blows thither
the exhalations of the swamp of Achelous.
Towards the Isthmus, Sicyon and Corinth pre-
sent some cultivated plains in the midst of rocks,
which are partially wooded ; but on the whole
this ancient country of the Fine Arts is not re-
markable for its fertility. It is the same 's ith
all the peninsula which extends to the south of
the isthmus toll ards the promontory of Scyllazu

and which seems formed by a chain of volcanic
hills. A feverish atmosphere hovers over these
arid rocks, intersected by torrents, the beds of
which are dry during the greater partof the year,
and are covered with long rows of the rose-laurel.
The temple of Esculapius, placed in the centre
of this region, is indebted probably for its re-
putation to its elevated, wooded, and healthy
site., In the angle formed by this small chain,
and by the eastern edge of the central platform,
the gulph of Napoli di Romania washes the sides
of the large and fertile plain of the ancient Ar-
golis, the first seat of Greek civilizations and
which on account of the fine harbour of Napoli,
would be, perhaps, in the present day, the best
seat fora Capital.

The port of Navarino in Messenia equals or
surpasses that of Napoli in extent, security,
and military advantages ; but its neighbour-
hood contains no site fit for building a con-
siderable town. Monemvasia posse saes with
a good harbour the advantage of a site
as pleasant as it is easy of defence, but it is a.
port not in communication with the interior.
Patras is an important commercial sea-port, and
Corinth, with its Acropolis, may be made a res-
pectable fortress; but these two towns- are too
far from the centre. Tripolizza has been judi-
ciously chosen by the Turks, on account of its
central position, in a great plain protected by de-
files. But the Peleponnesus, free, ought to have
a maritime capital.

In our Paper on Monday, we shall give an ac-
count of the present inhabitants of this celebrated
peninsula.

THE KING.

[FROM PRIVATE LETTERS.]
DUBLIN, SEPT. 4.—The•Dublin Papers of this
morning (Tuesday) transmitted to you by the
last mail, mentioned, that the Royal fleet, with
his MAJESTY on board, was to remain at anchor
during the past night, in the Asylum Harbour of;
Dunleary, and that at day-break to-day, it would.
have proceeded on its voyage. The wind, how,-
ever, since last evening, has been blowing at an.
unfavourable point; and at the moment I write,
it blows a strong gale from the S. E. with heavy
rain. This is, perhaps, the most cheerless and,
stormy night that we have had for months. The
Royal vessels, it is, under the circumstances,
gratifying to mention, lie in perfect safety, in a
fine Asylum Bay, whose waters scarcely curl to
the wind. In the early part of the day, the wea-
ther was fair and fine; in the afternoon it began
to lour, and the wind freshened, and increased,
until it settled into a rerfect gale. His-Ma-
jesty appeared on the deck of the Royal George:
;several times in the' course of the day, pacing
the whole range of the vessel with several of
the distinguished personages in his suite, at one
time in apparently earnest conversation, a t another
admiring the thousand beauties of the bay of
Dublin : a bay, by no means inferior, in point of
magnificence of scenery, to that of Naples. At
eight this evening, I spoke with_ Mr. Lea, one of
the King's Messengers connected with the Irish
department of the Government, who had been
in attendance upon his Majesty during the early
part of the day. Mr. Lea states his Majesty
to be in excellent health, in high spirits, and
to have been enjoying the converse and society
of the numerous and distinguished indivi-
duals on board his Majesty's yacht. Several
visitors from the shore were of the Royal
Party to-day. Should the wind moderate,
though it does not become otherwise more favour.
able, the Royal Squadron may take its departure
from the Bay to-morrow morning. One of the
Commanders, we understand, mentioned to,day,
that an• attempt would be made to-morrow to put
to sea ; even though the wind continued at the
present point. It has since strengthened, how-
ever, to little less than a storm.—The harbour
in which his Majesty's fleet lies at anchor, has
been called hitherto, the Dunleary Asylum Har-
bour. His Majesty was yesterday pleased to
name it." George the Fourth, Harbour;" and
the town of Dunleary, " King's Town." These
ceremonies were performed under a discharge of
artillery from the ships of war, and batteries on
shore.

[FROM SAUNDERS'S NEWS-LETTER OF WEDNESDAY.]

On Monday last, after the arrival of the British
mail, E. S. Lees, Esq. Secretary to the General
Post-office, proceeded to the Royal George
with private dispatches for his Majesty. Mr.
Lees remained on board until the arrival of the
King, when the dispatches were delivered to
him by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield. His Majesty
inquired if Mr. Lees was in attendance, and
being answered in the affirmative, desired Sic
Benjamin to introduce Mr. Lees, who was
instantly brought into the Royal presence.--
His Majesty having ascertained Mr. Lees' Chris-
tian name, and taking Sir Edward Paget's sword,
conferred on him, in the usual manner, the he-
nour of Knighthood. After which his Majesty
was graciously pleased to say, that he was fully
apprised of his meritorious services, and his in-
defatigable exertions in his official situation, and
that he was also sensible of his polite attention
to himself, connected with his duty, since his
arrival in this country. His Majesty concluded
by desiring Sir Edward's company at dinner.
Nothing could be more complimentary or flat-
tering to Sir Edward than the manner in which
this unexpected compliment was conferred on
him. The ceremony was performed under the
Royal Standard, and in the presence of the Lord
Lieutenant, Lord Sidmouth, and all the Officers
of the Fleet.

FATAL A FFRAYatC UMBERLAND GATE

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON RICHARD HONEY.
TWELFTH DAY, SEPT. 7. _

The Jury assembled this day at eleven o'clock.
It was agreed that an adjournment should take
place at two o'clock, for the purpose of taking
refreshments.

Michael Bowman sworn, and examined by Mr.
Ammrnos.-1 am a surgeon, I.live in Harley-
street; I was in Oxford-road on the 14th of
August near Cumberland-gate, about twelve
etcock ; I saw a troop of Life Guards drawn up,
six on each side the gate, in Oxford-road ; a
young man, an Officer, was there without a
cloak, attended by a person who I supposed to
be a trumpeter ; at that time there was no dis-
tut bailee whatever, their swords were not drawn;
1 went into the Hyde Park Hotel, and sat there;
after sitting there about three or four minutes,
my attention was again drawn towards the spot ;
I then saw the men in the act of drawing their
swords, and then pelted by the mob with mud
and other things ; a considerable crowd had at
that time collected around them ; I saw no one
then on horseback but the Guards ; being thus
pelted, and a great crowd coming up Park-lane
of horse and foot, those twelve men wheeled
right and left and went in at Cumberland-gate,
holding their swords over their heads ; there ap-
peared great confusion about the gate ; the sol-
diers soon returned through the gate, pelted by
the mob ; pelted with bricks and stones ; saw
many of the bricks brought from the wall of the
Park ; I thought the soldiers in the greatest
possible danger of their lives ; the soldiers re-
peatedly rod down to Quebec-street after the
mob, amidst a shower of stones and brickbats ;
they were thrown on all sides, particularly from
the Park-wall ; when the men who threw the
stones were pursued, they dashed into the mob,
so that it was impossible for the military to get
at them without riding over a number of people ;
I saw the Officer frequently hit with stones like
the rest ; I saw a man, in particular, who took
Off a number of bricks from the wall and threw
them ; a trumpeter, with some difficulty, forced
his horse upon the foot pavement, and I' saw him
strike this man with the flat of his sword ; on
the trumpeter turning back his horse, the man
threw at him again.
A Juror—Did you dislodge the man ?—No.
—After that I saw the head of a detachment
under the Gateway ; they moved on, the hearse
followed, and the throwing of bricks and stones
increased ; there appeared great confusion about
the hearse at this time; it soon passed on.; about
three or four minutes after that I heard the re-
port of a pistol ; it proceeded from near Cumber-
land-gate; I do not mean to say it came from
Cumberland-gate, but that the sound came from
that direction ; I should conceive it was fired
nearly opposite the gate ; in a few seconds I
heard several ocher reports irregularly ; in a
few minutes after this a man was carried by the
window on the shoulders of others; I saw blood
on his shirt, and I made the observation, " That
man is shot through the heart." While I saw
the twelve soldiers at the Park-gate pelted, their
conduct was marked by no resistance at all at
the time they went into the Park ; the soldiers
collectively shewed the greatest patience and
forbearance.

By Mr. BILOWN.—When the soldiers wheeled
right and left through Cumberland-gate they
were pelted ; I saw no peace officer expostulate
-with the mob and tell them to desist; I saw no
firing, I only heard the reports ; I cannot say
that my attention was attracted to the spot from
which the first report came at the moment ; I did
not see an officer at the head of the detachment
under the gate; my eyes were directed to that
spot, anxious for the arrival of a reinforcement ;
the detachment did not fire there ; the detach-
ment which was before riding down to Quebec-
street, occasionally mixed with the other ; there
was no firing until after the hearse had passed
out of the gate ; I do not know what detachment
commenced firing, I only heard the reports; a
very few seconds intervened between the first re-
port and those which followed ; the firing had
ceased when 1 saw the body taken away.
By the FOREMAN-1 saw a great many bricks
thrown ; if I could have counted them, I should
think there were 2O bricks or stones flying round
the officer's head at the same time, some of which
struck him ; I thought the soldiers in the greatest
possible danger of their lives; I. saw none of
them cut or wounded, but I saw several struck
with stones and bricks ; I saw an officer parti-
cularly pelted; he commanded the detachment,
and 1 have since heard it was Lieut. Gore ; I
did not see him wounded, I saw him struck; the
_trumpeter struck the man on the wall with the
flat of his sword ; I wilt swear it ; if he had
struck him with the point he might have killed
him ; I should not know the trumpeter again ; I
might, but I don't think I could ; I cannot tell
his age; I do not know whether he was a man
or a boy : he was a young many certainly not
a boy.
By Mr. BLAKIE—When the soldiers came out
of the Park pelted, as I could not•see what
transpired within the Park, I do not know what
the soldiers had been doing ; the man on the wall
was sitting astride it, and pulling off bricks ;
when he was throwing brickbats the soldiers were
passing close to him ; they were passing close to
the pavement ; I saw no other soldier cut at him;
I saw another soldier attempting to make his
horse go upon the pavement, but he did not suc-
ceed, and the stones and brickbats flew about
him. I was in the coffee-room of the Hyde Park
hotel when I saw this. The windows were shut.
I had not a good view of Curaberland-gate, but a
side view. There were stones thrown from im-
mediately under the window where I was stand-
ing. The soldiers were then riding up and down,
I saw some stones thrown two or three seconds be-
fore the firing. I did not see the firing, I only heard
the reports. I cannot say how far the hearse was
gone when the firing commenced. It was two or
three minutes after the hearse went out of my
sight. I cannot tell whether the whole of the
procession had passed at that time. I went to
the spot from curiosity. I went from a house in
the Edgeware-road. I saw the body come past ;

and, from the time of the firing, there was cer-
tainly time for that person to go away before it,
after the hearse was out of my view. I have un-
dergone no examinatlqii.. I sent in a written
statement of what I knew to Mr. Henson, and I
wrote the morning after to. Mr. Stirling.
By Mr. BROVVN—When I went into the coffee
room, I read a newspaper two or three minutes,
and I then saw the soldiers drawing their swords
and attempting to open the gates, being at that
time pelted by the mob.
Mr. Brown here went into an argument as to
the value of the witness's evidence. He contend-
ed that he had been for some time in the coffee-
room without seeing what passed. Mr. Adolphus
promised to prove that the mob first began; but
this witness did not prove it, because there might
have been provocations given while he was read-
ing the newspaper.
Mr. ADOLPHUS—I say, Mr. Coroner, that the
witness has distinctly
,shewn that the populace
threw at the soldiers before they drew their
swords, and defended themselves from the at-
tacks of the mob. This is the witness's evidence.
Mr. Brown—l deny it.
Mr. Adolphus—Yes, and I dare say you will by your ver-
dict [Cries of Hear, hear ! by some, and of Shame by &hers.]
A Juror—This is most infamous, Mr. Adolphus, your ob-
servation is Most infamous, I say.
Mr. Adolphus—l care not what you say.
Mr. Green—Gentlemen, I wonder you notice him, since you
know theinature of the beast. We are not going to be insulted
by a brow-beating, bullying, Old Bailey Counsel.
Mr. Adolphus—l am ready to hear any language from you.
Mr. Green—You are hired to come here, we do our duty as
men, our services are unbought.
Mr. Adolphus—l shall do my duty, regardless of such ob-
servations.

Juror—You have no right here. You have been sent to Co-
ventry.
Mr. Adolphus retorted—" These are Gentlemen of the Jury
but when they have ceased to be a Jury—we all know what
they are."
M. Green—l have more to say to you, we are of the Jury,
but not of the Jewry, Mr. Adolphus.
A long and violent harangue continued till the Coroner pro.
posed an adjournment till the temper of the Gentlemen speak-
mg cooled a little.
Alr. Spicer observed to Mr. Brown and others, that he was
sure they would be sorry for what they were saying in half an
hour.

Mr. Brown, during the confusion, loudly declared that they
had some SparttN blood in them, and they would be starved
before they would yield. Order having been restored, the pro-
ceedings of the Inquest were resumed.
Witness examined by the Foreman—l saw a banner, but I
did not see the man who carried it ; I did not see the soldiers
with their fire-arms out.

Mr. Brown repeated his questions relativl., to what might
have passed while the witness was in the Coffee-room reading
the newspaper. lie answered that he did not know what then
passed, and Mr. Browne said that he could not therefore prove
who began the disturbance, as many provocations might have
been given in that interval.
Mr. Adolphus said, that when a Juryman whose duty it was
to hear all before he pronounced, chose to make such observa-
tions upon evidence, he anticipated the verdict which he meant
to give.

Witness examined.hy Mr.Adolphus—When I began to read
the newspaper, the soldiers were sitting quietly on their horses,
and when I looked out again they were drawing their swords,
being at that time pelted by the mob.
By Mr. Gall.—When I came past Edgware-road it was not
blocked up.

The evidence of the witness being read over, he further
stated, that he had since seen the Officer who commanded the
detachment at the gates, and he was told that it was Lieutenant
Gore.

Richard Buckle 'Feast, Esq. sworn and exam-
ined—l live on my property, and am now resi-
debt at the Hyde Park Hotel ; on the day of
the Queen's funeral I was at the third story
window of that house ; I could see the hearse
coming through the trees in the Park ; the gates
were then closed by the persons round the gates,
and the soldiers endeavoured to open them; they
partly succeeded in doing so, when they were
closed again by the persons surrounding them;
the soldiers were pelted at the gates in endea-
lvouring to open them, and that was the com-
mencement of the affray ; the gates were then
opened after considerable resistance, and another
body of the Life Guards came through, some car-
riages followed, and the hearse came out nearly
into the middle of Oxford-street; the horses
heads were partially turned by some of the sur-
rounding persons; the soldiers then drove the
people from the horses' heads, and while they
were turning the horses the other way, the hearse
and soldiers were attacked with stones and bricks ;
the soldiers were repeatedly hit by them ; the
hearse then moved to beyond 248, on the Park
side of the road; the soldiers then formed them-
selves into a body nearly opposite 247. The
firing then commenced, about ten minutes
after I first Saw stones thrown; there was a
continuation of the stones throwing from the
time of the gate being opened to the firing,
from different parts; I cannot describe stones
throwing, but they continued to be thrown ; the
first seven or eight shots appeared to me to be
fired in the air ; about half a minute after the
commencement of the firing a man was on the
ground about three paces from No. 245 ; I mean
a private person ; the persons surrounding him
cried 44 Murder." After that I retired from the
window till the firing. ceased. I saw one soldier
very severely struck upon the back by a stone
or brick, when the soldiers were trying to open
the gates. The soldiers at that time had done
nothing that I saw to hurt or provoke the mob,
except in endeavouring to force the gates. Just
before the firing commenced, part of the railing
of the wall had either been pulled down or was
fallen down.

By Mr. GALL-Have you been in the room
during the Inquest ?—I have been in for half a
momout, but not with any wish to be so ; I came
expecting to be examined. I could not see any
Peace Officers at the gates, it was impossible that
I could distinguish them. Both times the gates
were shut. I have remarked, that if I had been
in the situation of the soldiers I should have done
more mischief than they did.

By Mr. BLAKIE.—I saw the hearse coming
through the Park, but I could not remark the
pace at which it came ; I do not know whether
it was a trot. When the gates were shut, I saw
Soldiers endeavouring to open them both times.
The hearse was nearly opposite 248, when I saw
the first shot fired, rather nearer to Tyburn-
gate than otherwise. I believe the whole of the
procession had not passed the gate at that time.
The man was certainly upon the ground before
the whole of the procession passed, to the best
of my belief. N 0.245 is situated on the side of
Cumberland-street, nearest the hotel. After the
hearse passed there was certainly time for the
man who was shot to have got away before the
firing commenced. I did not withdraw myself
from the window the moment the hearse went
past Cumberland-gate. I did not hear the Riot

Act read ; I did not consider that there was suf-
ficient danger to require that I should withdraw
from the window until I saw the man shot.

By Mr. BROWN—The firing did not commence
until the last detachment came through. I can-
not say that I noticed any Officer OWN through
with it ; I only saw the body at large ;- I don't
know whether that detachment NpmencelitficitKi
the soldiers were allln a body tkloi.l2A Aen,
they fired ." I did not observe any one particu-
lar person fire ; I know-Captain Oakes by sight,
but not personally ; I did not notice him with
that detachment ; had I seen him I should have
known hiin ; I do not know Lieutenant Storey ;
I do not know Lieutenant Ilall ; I do not know
Lieutenant Terry ; I know Lieutenant Gore,
but I did not see him fire.

By the FOREMAN.—I saw a trumpeter riding
about behind Lieut. Gore ; he appeared to be a
young man from 18 to 22 ; I should not know
him again ; I do not recollect seeing Lieutenant
Gore and the trumpeter in conversation on that
day; I saw a man on the ground with a banner;
I think he got up and ran away with the banner
in his hand ; he did this to the best of my re-
collection, but the crowd was very great at the
time. I saw some of the multitude struck with
the stones as well as the soldiers, but I saw no
one cut.

By Mr. SyrcEn.—l saw the soldiers fire in a
body, but I did not see a single shot fired-;
think that I should have noticed if one person
had fired when the rest ceased.

By Mr. ADOLPTIUSr—I saw the man clown
with the banner, and it was furled round the staff.
By the FOREMAN—I cannot say how the man
got away, but the impression on my mind is that
he was not carried away.
By a Juror—l saw stones thrown from Cum-
berland-street, but certainly not from the spot
where the deceased fell ; I do not know that
they were throwing stones at Cumberland-street
at the time the firing commenced ; It was more
from the Park.

By Mr. CAirr.—l have resided at the Hyde
Park Hotel for two years. Ido not call it my
residence. My property is in the city and county
of Bristol; I am well known in Bristol ; the pre-
sent Mayor of Bristol rents 8001. a year of me—
I believe I am wrong, for the Mayoralty expires
on the Ist of September—it is the late Mayor,
Mr. Hillhouse.
Mr. Drown—l am going to put a downright Radical ques-
tion—" Had not the people a right to shut the gates ?"
Mr. Adolphus said, tins was a question to which the witness
could not answer, as he did not know what the people's rights
were.

Mr. Brown—l say the Parks are held for the people, and
they have a right to shut the gates.
Mr. Adolphus--I say the contrary.
Mr. Brown—There must be the greatest oppositions to make
a good bowl of punch.
111 r. Adolphus said, that no party of the people had a right
to prevent his Majesty's liege subjects from passing through
the gates. It was shameful and shocking to hear such princi-
ples advanced from a Jury.
Mr. Brown declared that the Government had no right to
shut the gates against the people.
Mr. Adolphus—Then lam sure none of the people have a
right to do what the Government cannot, and that, too, in de-
fiance of the military acting under the direction of the civil
power.
Examination resumed—The beginning of the affray was the
struggle of the soldiers to open the gate, when they were pelted
by the mob, and other soldiers behind them then rode among
the soldiers, still being pelted.
By Mr. Hayward—l did not see the man who fell throw'
stones, or commit aT. y other improper act : I did not see him„.
but I saw several persons standing where he was. The time
which elapsed between the period of the soldiers turning the
horses' heads towards Tyburn and the commencement of the
firing, was about a minute or a minute and a half.
By Mr. Gall—From the time that -I first heard firing, until
I saw the man upon the ground, was about half a minute.
The Court then adjourned for an hour.
The Jury returned at four o'clock, and proceedings were
then resumed.

John Lloyd, of No. 19, Great Cumberland-street, sworn—l
am of no profession, but look after the house of Lord Bagot.
On the day of the late Queen's funeral I saw what passed at
Cumberland-gate. I was at the window of Lord Bagot's house,
nearly tieing Cumberland-gate. I saw about twelve Life
Guards there nearly an hour before the hearse came up. Dur-
ing a part of that hour there was a good deal of hissing and
groaning at the soldiers. A little before the procession came
up, there came along Park-lane, and that way, a great mob of
people and closed the gates. The hearse was then approaching
the gates. The soldiers then rushed up to the gates to open
them, and a most ferocious attack commenced upon the soldiers
with stones, and such sort of things, from all directions. After
a great struggle the soldiers got the gate open, but they were
shut again once or twice. The stones kept flying all the while.
During all this time I did not perceive that any of the soldiers
used any more strength than was necessary to open the gates.
Mr. Blakie observed, that this was matter of opinion, and
not evidence.

Mr. Adolphus—lt is given as matter of opinion.
The Coroner did not think it an unreasonable question, as
the witness saw all the force used on one side, and could judge
of the quantum used on the other.
Witness—l saw some persons with short sticks, whom I took
to be Police Officers, assisting the soldiers to open the gates._
Some may have been the undertaker's men. I saw several of
the soldiers struck with large stones and bricks and brick-bats ;
I saw one or two doubled up on their horses, and one had his
cap knocked off The soldiers upon this endeavoured when
the mob got near them, to intimidate them, and drove them
back by flourishing their swords. When the soldiers rode to-
wards the mob, they fell back ; and when the soldiers turned
their horses to rejoin their party, the mob threw with as much
violence as ever. When the hearse came through the Park-
gate into Oxford-street, the mob got hold of the leaders by the
heads, and turned them down Oxford-street towards St. Giles's.
The Life Guards when they saw this, turned back and turned
the horses' heads back towards Tyburn turnpike. The stones
and brick-bats were not thrown so much after the hearse got
through as before, but there was still some. The principal part
of the soldiers were gone on before the hearse. I-really consi-
dered the lives of the military in great danger from what I saw.
Up to this period I had not heard any report of fire-arms ; but
some time after, it might be five, six, or seven minutes, I heard
the report of fire-arms. I did not see .who discharged them, I
only heard them ; I cannot say how many pieces I heard dis-
charged, there might be fifteen or twenty ; the discharge was
nearer to Tyburn turnpike than Lord Bagot's. 1 saw a man
carried under Lord Bagot's window from towards Tyburn turn-
pike ; I saw the soldiers, when they ,were going away from
Cumberland-gate, two or three with their faces running down
with blood, and their clothes covered with mud and dirt.
By Jurors—l.was at the window till the hearse passed Lord
Bagot's house, but was not there when the firing began : I
went at that time to open the door to a ring ; I have been exa-
mined before on this subject by Mr. Henson ; the nature of
my deposition was if not the words to the same purport as
here ; I hold a place under Government—one of the Household
trumpeters.

. -
M. Gall—The witness said he was notbinc, at first.
Mr. Adolphus —lle said he was of no trade or profession.
A Juror—lt's only a blast of air.
Witness—l am also a door-keeper at the Coburg Theatre : I
am quite sure the soldiers were assisting in opening the gates;
whether the Police men or the Undertaker's men did it I know
not, but the soldiers assisted ; I did not see the hearse till it got
within 30 or 40 yards of the gate; it came very slow when it
came up to the gate.
Mr. Blakie—Can you give any reason why the firing should
begin, the throwing being less violent than before ?
Witness—l can give no reason ; I heard no person read the
Riot Act ; I neither saw nor heard any shot fired before the
hearse went through the gate; I was in the middle of the win-
dow of Lord Bagot's dining-room, and if there had been any
firing I think I must have heard it.
The Foreman—Do you happen to know how many whole
bricks were thrown at the soldiers

NiTitness—l saw two or three whole bricks thrown, one of
which hit a soldier. I did not see who threw them, but they
came from the Park wall. I saw him tumbling from his horse.
I observed an officer at the gate, whom 1 do not know. lie was
a young man. I did not remark more than one officer. I saw

no pistols nor carbines with any of the soldiers ; I saw nothing
but their swords. Saw a-trumpeter that day, but do not know
him, nor do I think I should know him again. He appeared to
be about 20 or 30, but I took no particular notice. I did not
think the soldiers flourished their swords in an improper man-
ner. I saw a soldier and his horse down, but how he came so 1
don't know. I did.not see him till after he was down.

Mr. Gall to the Witness—There is a technical way of speak-
ing among musicians, such as do you " know" the violin, the
flute,ony other instrument.
WitntiA---Well, Sir.
Ake: Gall—Welk then, allow mifito askyou,,,dojou knoll/Nit
trumpet ?
Witness—No, Sir.
Mr. Gall—The King's trumpeter, and not know the trum-
pet.—(A laugh.)
Some Jiirors—That's a good one, however.
Mr. Gall—Pray put it down—rt is the cream of the whole
day's work.
The Coroner, after being pressed to put this down, which led
to some discussion, decided in the negative, seeing no relation
that it could have to the object of the inquiry.
Witness—l saw the people take up some paving stones which
had been laid down, but not fastened, at the corner of Cumber-
land-street, and strike them one on the other to break them ;
this was the corner nearest Tyburn-turnpike ; 1 cannot say
that I saw stones thrown from the opposite corner of the street,
but 1 saw them from the middle of the street, and from all di-
rections ; I did not take notice of any of the horses Wounded—
I saw several struck, but I did not see one with his throat cut ;
the young Officer I observed went off the grodnd at about one
o'clock ; I did not see the trumpeter go, nor did I see that
trumpeter in conversation with the young officer I have men.
tioned. When they were carrying the man through Cumber-
land-gate I heard the cry of " Murder." I have had no letter
nor communication with Lord Bagot nor his domestics; I have
seen no one but Mralenson and his clerk on the subject since
the 14th of August. Mr. Ni'aithman came to the parlour win-
dows, and asked one of the maids whether she could give any
evidance, and she answered no, as she was too much frightened.
Had he come to me I should have given him exactly the same
information I gave to Mr. Henson.

Michael Lambton Este, examined by Mr. Adolphus.—Was
Surgeon of the First Regiment of Life Guards. Was waiting
at the barracks all day on the 14th, and saw the Soldiers as they
came in.- Thirty-seven came under his care through hurts and
bruises received on that day. The greater number of hurts
they had received were contusions on the head, neck, body,
and limbs, such as would have been inflicted by stones and
brick-bats. There were five fractures. All these were so struck
and bruised that they certainly required care at his hands—all
of them. He did not see any more than 37 ; he heard of more.
Five had fractured bones; one had a broken cheek bone; one
his shoulder-blade broken, ('iis name was Sowerby) ; one his
collar-bone broken ; one an ancle-bone broken ; one a shin-
bone injured : the skin broken, and the bone injured, and an
arm . injured. The wounds were recently inflicted. There
were 36 brought in from the riot at Cumberland-gate ; one man
was brought in, having been assailed in the evening in West-
minster. There were thirty-six injured in the riot. They were
doing their duty, perfectly well. He ordered them into the
hospital ; he placed them on the sick list.
By the Foreman—None of the men with fractures went' out
the next day. Those who were bruised, as there was a great
deal of duty to do, went out sooner than he could have wished.
They went out by the fifth or sixth day afterwards ; they (lid
not go out before; those whO had received fractures were still
in the hospital.
By Jurors.—lt certainly was not customary for men on the
sick list to attend the parade. Sowerby was received the next
day ; he did not know that his bone was broken, till he (wit-
ness) had particularly examined him. The thirty-six men were
brought in as having been wounded at Cumberland-gate. He
had it from the soldiers that they were hurt there ; he knew
that they were out on service at Cumberland-gate. There
were two lists kept ; one witness had, the other was in the pos-
session of the Adjutant. Those who were on witness's list, did
not go on duty. Those with trivial bruises went on duty to a
man sooner than he could have wished ; those who had received
fractures were still in the hospital, and had not been on horse
duty since ; the others, as there were extra guards, went on
' duty in five or six days. Those who had received fractures
were certainly not on duty on the day of the inspection.
The Foreman inquired if one of the men had been injured
by falling from his horse ?
Mr. Adolphus asked how this witness could speak to that ?
The Foreman thought it might as well be asked how he
could speak to the other men who were brought in wounded ?
The Coroner remarked, he had seen them when they came in.
Mr. Adolphus said, they had refused to take hearsay evi-
dence, and were now asking for that which witness could only
know from hearsay. He had no objection to this, provided he
(Mr. Adolphus) was allowed to ask similar questions with re-
spect to the manner in which the other men came by their
wounds. All that he desired was, that they might be enabled
to play an equal game.
The Foreman did not conceive the question which he had
put to be improper, and had no objection to similar questions
being put respecting the other persons being wounded.
Mr. Adolphus had no objection, on that agreement, to the
question being answered, he was not at all afraiciof the answer.
It was then agreed that such questions might be put on both
sides, and the examination was resumed.
By Jurors—Witness understood that one of the men was in-
jured by his horse falling under him. Could not say whether
he was one of the five that received fractures ; he was one of the
36 that were hurt. The four men with fractures were not pre-
sent at the inspection on the 21st ; as a medical man he did not
think they could have been there with safety, and certainly
could not have advised that they should attend.
Here a stranger complained that he had not been admitted
into the room, and had been denied that accommodation to
which he conceived he was entitled.

The Coroner and Jury inquired what he had to do in the
room, and as it appeared that he had no business there, the
officer was commended for having dune his duty, and the com-
plainant, who had been observed standing in the way by some
of the Jury, was told he must expect no redress, and ought
to be laughed at for the appeal which he thought it necessary
to make.

Samuel Bloxam, Veterinary Surgeon of the Ist Regiment of
Life Guards, examined by Mr. Adolphus —On the evening of
the 14th he inspected the horses that returned from duty ; a
great many were hurt, but not disabled from duty, and of.
those he did not take cognizance. Two privates' horses and
one officer's horse were still disabled from duty ; many were
hurt—were cut with flints, but not disabled from duty ; they
were merely dressed once, and then returned to duty one
horse had the artery under the jaw divided ; that horse is now
• fit for duty.
By the Jurors—Made a memorandum to which he had re-
•ferred with the troop and the number but five minutes before he
came. He would swear to the truth of it. One of the horses
that had been hurt was injured by a fall. Ile had now two
• troopers' horses and one officer's horse unfit for duty. One horse,
professionally speaking, had received such an injury as he would
sustain from a fall. Lieut. Hall's horse was now unfit for duty.
He had been struck from behind; the other horse had been.in-
jured by some cutting instrument. The wound had divided the
artery under the jaw ; it could not be deep because the jaw-
, bone interposed. It was three-quarters of an inch in length.
The horse had lost a good deal of blood, he had no doubt, but it
would not have bled to death, as after a certain time the arteries
close. Did not know that a trumpeter's horse was brought to
him ; no grey horse came under his inspection. Did not know
the trumpeter that went out that day.
rapt. Edward Pelham Brenthn examined by Mr. Adolphus.
Lived at No. 4, Park-lane, Oxford-street. On the day of the
funeral, he saw the procession at Cumberland-gate from the
upper window of his own house. At about half-past eleven,
it might be a little earlier, a Corporal's guard of Life Guards
came into the Park, and stood opposite to Grosvenor-gate,
with the horses' heads towards Kensington. They continued
quietly in that situation until about a quarter past twelve, when
he first perceived the Queen's funeral coming up the Park. It
was opposite Lord Breadalbane's house when he first saw it.
A great crowd followed up Park-lane ; about fifteen or twenty
of them setting up a horrid yell; he particularly wished to ob-
serve it was not universal among them by any means ; crying,
" You have murdered our Queen, you bloody Piccadilly but-
, chers." At the seine time a volley of stones was thrown by
the same -persons, not by the crowd generally, at the Life
Guards, woo rode by the side of the funeral, as well as at the
corporal's guard opposite the gate, which fairly drove them
from their position. They quietly marched over to the oppo-
site side of the road, then faced about, fronting Lord Dudley's
house, and remained in that position, notwithstanding the vol-
lies of stones which continued to be thrown at them until the
hearse passed between them and the mob, when they joined the
procession, and went on towards Cumberland-gate, the mob
still following them and pelting them with stones until he lost
sight of the procession. At half-past twelve he heard firing,
which continued, he thought, a minute and a half, perhaps two
minutes ; and, he observed, " the Life Guards can stand it no
longer." During the time he observed the conduct of the sol-
diers, he never saw men behave so coolly, so orderly, or so hu-
manely. _ _

By :Jurors—Was in the house all the time ; the corporal's
guard kept its station, till dislodged in the manner he had de-
scribed by the furious attack of the mob.
Mr. Blakie said he thought this gentleman might have been
spared a great deal of trouble.
Mr. Adolphus was quite of a contrary opinion. When he
saw the same mob begin an attack on the military near Gros-
venor-gate, and follow it up, to Cumberland-gate, he considered
his evidence of great importance, and thought the remark which
had been made on it a very improper one.
Could positively swear that' the Corporal's guard never

changed their position from their coming before his house till
they were dislodged in the manner he had stated, and he would
give a reason for it. The attack on the corporal's guard only
commenced with the mob that accompanied the funeral up the
lane, consequently it did not last more than a minute or so.
The hearse was travelling when it passed his house at a quick
walk, occasionally standing still. Could not sweakthat he
never saw it trot. The hors& heads about a quartel, of an
hour before the Procession came up might:have
_toe& Anged

ley's.hOnse. Witnesss.lioute was tv7ly opposite GroSvenbr-
.gate, nearly thevaidille okhe.liike* w'kn Piccadillhud Curti-
berland-gate. Be did not take upon himself to say what pass-
ed at Cumberland-gate.
By Mr. Adolphus—The Riding-house was nearer Piccadilly
than his house. Thought he first saw the Procession when it
was between the Riding-house and Lord Breadalbane's. Did
not know at what place the Procession came from Piccadilly to
the Riding-house.
By Jurors—Saw how it went toward Cumberland-gate ;
could not undertake to swear that it galloped no part of that
way, though this would have appeared very unusual ; he could
only say that it was a quarter of an hour from his seeing the
procession before the firing began; he could speak to. this, as he
had his watch in his hand the greater part of the time.

Colonel Cavendish examined by Mr. Adolphus—Attended
the inspection of the Life Guards 'on the 21st of August, by
some of the witnesses ; saw a person who gave his name to Mr.
Birnie, or one of the Magistrates, as Spratt; he went down
in front of the lines once, and on coming to the end of
them, he .desired to go back again to look at sin-officer,
whom he believed to be the man who shot Honey ; as ober
witnesses had been allowed to do the same, he was also al:
lowed to go down the first line again ; he stopped at the
second officer on the left hand, whose name was Walroud,'
Sub-Lieutenant; after looking at him for a moment, 115
passed on to another ; he rather believed the next officer ;
and stopped and looked at -him, walked past him, looked at
him, and returned again; the name of that person was-
. Mr. Lock ; he thought he was the next -officer. to Lieute-
nant Walroud; lie passed by him again, with his eyes
fixed on him, and then made a sort of motion with his hi-1
which appeared to witness to indicate that lie could not quite
make up his mind to swear to him, and stood at his right hand;
Lieut. Gore was in the same line much lower down. Spratt did
not stop at him to witness's recollection, he should rather say,
certainly not. To the best of his recollection Spratt whom he
(Colonel CavendiSh), accompanied the whole way, never took
the slightest notice of Lieut. Gore; was well acquainted 'Nita
the persons of Lieutenant Walroud and Core.
Now Col.CaVendish you will not be offended at the qUestion I
am about to ask—you are aware that I have a public duty te:.
perform ; did you see paint or colour on the faces either o',
Lieut. Walroud or Lieutenant Gores.—Had I seen any thing °'
the kind' I should have thought it a shame to the R.egimeni
he saw nothing like paint or colour laid on the face of either of
them. On the Sunday after the Queen's funeral (the Iffth),
Lieutenant Gore was on the Parade. Witness marched ld'u
with the rest to the Riding-House, where the church service i!
performed. It was a few minutes after eleven o'clock that
marched him off. Divine service would be over in about ha!'
an hour. I did not see.hini any more that day. The King' 9
Guard was that day relieved by the Blues. That 17:',3 'serf
soon after diVine service. Immediately after divine service
rode towards the Horse Guards, and met those who had bee°
relieved. I met them at Carlton House Gardens. The Officer?
of that Guard were Capt. Macneil, Lieut. Cox, and Sub-Lie,"'
Hall. A Captain and two Subalterns form the usual nuinbcr
of Officers for the King's Guard.
By a Juror—Neither of the Officers I have mentioned, re"
sembles Lieut. Gore. They are fresh coloured men. You 11°
all seen Lieut. Gore, and can say whether lie is fresh coloured;
The Witness Spratt is, 1 think, a little man, remarkable sallow
complexioned, and with dark hair and eyes. He looks as if ''e.
had had the yellow jaundice. There was no change of officer'
on the day in question, when I met the guards who had been
relieved; I mean to say that Lieut. Gore was at Church °":
the Sunday I have mentioned, sit the time the guard was re-
lieved lieved ; Lieutenant Hall is not at all like Lieutenant Gore ;;i
is shorter.
