gate, that he bail seen the crowd throwing brick-hats at
the soldiers. (The Coroner here interposed and pod
tiVi
the evidence, as it did not appear the decease 4 Ile
lieved himself to be dying.) (The attentio !Ile
witness was then drawn to the conversation spoken to
by Mr. Hughes.) I was agitated while this conversation
was going on, I can therefore speak to only a part of It;
my husband declared he had not thrown any thing,
that be was as innocent as the boy who stood before Isis's:
Ise declared he bore no malice to the person who had
injurett him, or to any person in the world, I can't say
what else was said; I did not hear him say that the sol-
dier who shot him had only done his duty; he said Ise
did not know the man who had shot him; I think I
must have beard him had he said any thing about the
soldier having only done his duty ; the Clergyman made
this observation in the shape of a Ttestion, hut 1 did
not hear my husband give any answer. (Some of the
Jury here expressed a wish that the evidence of the
Chaplain should he erased, but it was objected to.) 1
did not hear my husband assent to the observation.
The witness then withdrew.
Immediately afterwards Mr. Phillips, who attended
prole ally for the friends of the deceased, complained
that tnietitleman who attended for the Military hail,
with en improper %her, just given his address to the de-
ceased's widow, desiring her to call upon him. The
latter Gentleman very indignantly repelled the imputa-
tion, and declared that his object was to promote a sub-
scription which he understood was about to he set on
foot for the widow. This declaration was confirmed by
another Gentleman in the room, and Mr. Phillips ex-
pressed himself satisfied.
Samuel Hill. of Gray's.vard, Manchester-square, was
then called and sworn. his evidence was to the follow-
ing effect:-1 am a constable. I was standing near the
Toll-gate of Ily.le•Park on Tuesday, about one or two
o'clock, a report was brought that a man had been shot;
I heard the firing; the man was taken into the Toll.

the air; they tired with ball; I neon( the hslls whistle;
1 did nut see them aim at any person ; I saw no art on
the part of the craeeal to aggravate ; they were quiet :
they threw nothing; I went behind the toll-house for
safety because I heard the balls whistle ; I thoneht the
soldiers might change their mind and tire epon the peo-
ple, and therefore 1 went behind the Toil.house. The
crowd were ninnerous ; 1 should think about SKI. I
did not hear the Riot Act read: I dill not see Sir
Robert Raker; 1 was not upon duty, although I am a
peace officer.
William Painnineton, of (Sateen-street. R steliff, mariner,
was the next witness, and deposed as fallow: :-1 accom-
panied the processiou on Tuesday ; I was at the place
when the snarler was committed. ( flee witness was'

they turned round, anal attempted to cat the people at
the gate. They cut through the rails, and forced the
gate open. The epoole had closed the gate. Ose horse-
man was then placed un each side of the gate, and I
then saw one of them cut at a man who had been forced
against the gate by the people behind him. The man
who was cut at bled very much. A gentleman called the

saw the S/1130 soldier cast at the people on the other side
f the gate ; souse of them were hooting at him, but he

his horse's head was just in the front of the deceased: I
saw him point the pistol, but I can't say what was in the

should know him again; I firmly believe be took a di-
rect aim at the deceased ; there were tree soldiers to
; I think the distance between the soldier and the
deceased was about 14 yards; the man was doing am
thing; and I saw no one near him doing any thing; be
gave no offence whatever. The soldiers, in general,
fired in all directions. A stone had been thrown within

The detachment of Life Guards, on duty at the
Gorse Guards, was to have turned out at eleven o'clock
this morning. fur the purpose of being examined ie
dividually, and giving an opportunity to the witnesses
examined on the adjourned Coroner's Inquests upon the
bodies of the pen meshot at the affray during the
Quern's Funeral Procession, of identifying those who
shot at the populace. The Oxford Glues quartered at
the Barracks in the Regent's Park, were to have aerie.

A Non Commissioned Officer has just arrived from

that the Panes have nut yet proceeded on their way to

There appears considerable agitation at the Coins

this department has just sent to enquire why the Blues
have not come to relieve the Life Guards. H! has re-

ceived an answer, but declines ts give it publi.:ity.

It is stated that sons* noistske has been made in the
orders issued for the Blues to relieve the Boards.—
Positive information must soon be had on the subject.

impossibility of betnir properly prepared for the
voyage contemplated to the Continent, and the fatiguing
journey that might be expected there. The inhabi..
tarts of London had to witness for the first time in
innersl cavalcade of the Qaeen, what had never
occurred in any procession they hsd seen, the luggage
dr the toonrners occupying the same carriages with
themselves, and the likeness of a crown and velvet
cushion displayed, for state, in one coach, ■nd real
portmanteaus and trunks conveyed with their owners,
from necessity, in others. The like wants which the
friends of the Queen experienced or anticipated, it
'now appears, have been felt by the agents of the par-
ties who had resolved upon the haste, and by the very
persons who hail been insensible of the inconve-
niences they had occasioned. The ship that was
,i-sinned to receive the passengers was unfur-
nished wills the indispensible accommodations they
required. It has been necessary while the squa-
dron has been lying in the offing to send ashore even
for sheeting kr their beds. But delay in executing
scrupulodsly the will of their departed tacceN, now ho
longer affects the tender souls who were hurrying her
to the grave. The main point is completely gained ;
hoe body is removed from England, and in the cus-
tody not of her personal friends, but of the agents of
her persecutors. Whether further indignities await her
remains, cannot be known, except by those by whom
the cuntentplation of them may have been formed; hut
tutu much we know that whaterer may be designed,
and whatever his been accomplished for the purpose
of casting dishonour on her memory can, in the breasts
of men possessed of regulated feelings and a sense of
justice, reflect no disgrace but upon their authors,
and excite no sentiment except of indignation.
