Killed. An the Sufferers were Immediate
ly conveyed to st. Bartholomew Hospital -.
where surgical assistance was administer
ed to those to whom il could be of anv use
the dead were deposited in one of the
wards, till their friends or relations take
them away.
One o'ciock.-On further enquiry we are
sorry to Ind the above account does not
state the Calamity to its full extent. Twery.
ty-seven persons lay dead ut ST.. BartholoJ
news Hospital, the gates of which arr!
shut against the populace; four Law dead, M
the yard of the Salacen's Head three I'M
St. Sepulchre's church and two or three
III other places. In the Hospital there arc
three women, child or two, and sever;7
young men, apparently clerks. Some per-
sons In business, who have missed their
CLERKS this morning, have been to examine
the dead bodies but we do not find that a.
ny of them have been owned.
Persons within twenty or thirty yards OF
the platform were squeezed, till with fear
and pressure they could not breathe; il
was extremely warm the weakest tainted
and dropped, others fell over them the
shriehs and confusion were tremendously
horrible. 1t was as much as the strongest
could do to support themsclvcs-the doors
OF some houses in the street were burst o.
f>h hNi4i' SNS SNGallNHs Banl-
ing, speeches., and almost cxpiring-
There was no possibility of assisting those
who dropped, and near forty were trampied
| to death, besides hundreds who were bruis-
ed, some more or less, limbs broken, the
flesh torn oil the legs of others, sc. &c.
When the mob was cleared away. several
hundred pairs ot shoes were p ckeG up n TIE,
streets, with boots, cloaks, bonnets, &c.
When Holloway and Haggerty came in
to the press-yard for execution, there were
| many nobemen and gentlemen OF diStirc-
! ton.-Hailoway went on his knees ON the
pavement to protest his innocence, express
sing confidence that re would be forgiven
his sins in heaven-Haggerty also protest.
| ed his innocence, but did not go on his
knees. On the platform each addressed
rle popuiacc, protesting his innocence, c.
| ven while the caps were pulling over their
faces Holloway was attended by The Rev.

"The Change therefore which some sup

From LnNnnN

from l4ONDO ON.
BY the ship Gold Hunter, capt. Vose, in
u days passage, we have received London
papers and Lloyd's lists TO the evening OF
the 2Olh OF March. They contain nothing
later from the armies in Poland. They
state that the Russian army, under the COM
mand Of Gen. Nicholson, was MARCHING
strait TO COnstantinople, and is already at
Georgia, beyond Widdin, where it engaged
a Turkish corps, and killed 5000 men,
but it sustained itself loss Of 5000. The
Turks are preparing for war with as much
&C witty and vigor as so weak a govern
mentis capable of but long before the pre-
parations are completed the Russians will
have ovcr-run the empire, and have fixed
their standards on the walls of Constanti-
noplc.
The papers also state a change in the
English administration On this subject
the COURIER Of the Goth March says:-
con Wednesday, before his majesty leSt
town, message was transmitted to Lords
Eldcn and Hawkesbury, commanding their
attendance at Windsor yesterday morning.
Their lordships attended his majesty, and
upon their return they waited upon the duke
OF Portland, who with the aforementioned
lords, and lords Lowther and Melville,
were to frame Il new administration. As
soon as q list of the new ministry has been
prepared, il will be laid before his majesty,
but the arrangements are not expected to
be completed before the end of next week
His majesty Will then cause il to be intimat-
cd TO the present ministers, that he has no
occasion for their further services-for
they give out openly that they are deter
mined not to TeSign--but to remain i'm till
they are turned ont. The king having con-
scented 10 n partial indulgence to Catholics
by extending the Irish act Of 1898 to Great
Britain, ministers made use Of this consent
to surprise the kings conscience into a to-
tai repeal Of the Test Laws, as far as the
army and navy are concerned. Papists
were to be our generals on the staff; our
masters-general of the ordnance our COM
maudersin chief; the captains and admi-
rails of our fleets in short they we're TO be
trusted with the full power Of the sword
His majesty having gained information Of
this attempt to swindle his consent to re-
peal Of the test laws, expressed his displea-
sure and his determination to resist this
dishonest attack upon his conscience. Mi
nisters being thus detected and exposed,
propose to his majesty the retraction of
their measure, 20 which his majesty, with
The utmost condescention and forgiveness,
consents, provided they will agree not to
force the measure upon him again, or make
. second attempt to surprise his conscience.
