      HONDA . ? , Jolt 26 . KOOSB OF LORDS . —Some bills oa tbe table cf the bouse wero forwarded a Etage . The Evicted Destitute £ Vor 1 ( Ireland ) Bill « ae passed . HOtJSE OF -COMMONS . —Mr Wsightsok reported from the Sl'go Election Comtnittta tost Mr Charles Townley had not been duly elected , having beta guilty , by h . B ajents , of treatise . Sir'G . GR . 1 , ia reply to Mr A Stafford ststed , it wat BOt iuten'ltd to propose SEy aUeratiea cf the Irish poai law in reference to th * qu&iter-acre clause , but the com . iDiBJioaers had the subject under consideration with a ¦ v iew to mak . oe an order respecting it .

      Thb Ukpsodoced Despatches . —X £ r Hattes entered into a lone exp lanatioa of the circumstances which had led' to the despatch of Governor Grey of Jamaica not havtsg bceo produced , aad called on Lord George BantiF . ck to wiihiraw th 6 charges he had preferred against his a « Ue friend Eirl Grey and himself , on Friday evening . If the nuble lord refused to accede to his inquest , he should demand from the bouss an inquiry into tha Kifjir , in order that he and his noble friend might have an opportunity of vindicating themselves from eu foul an aspersion .

      Lord G . Bentinck observed , that though the memoraniuni ob the despatch was perfectly correct , still the hon gentleman had made out no case to show that the despatch of the 5 th of April bad not bee-j withheld from the committee by tbe Cjlonial OfBce , that despatch etmtainln ? important informaiioa . He had made two distinct chafes . The firas was , that the C lonial Offl ^ ehad systematically wi tbhtld from p « H » ment and the committee important informatien , of which ba h should h&va been put is possession . His second charge ¦ w as that in the evidence which be had fcivea On the 5 ; h of April , the bon . gentleman had displayed a very shart mesiorj with refpect to the memoranda which had been mide on the desnatcb . After the speech of the hon ,

      gtntls 356 n , he was more Eurprised that be should hare given the answers he had dono before the committee . The aob ' e lord then proceeded to support his charges ecainst Eirl Grey by documents which be had btfore quoted " , and others which hs produced , to prove that there hai besa a ' guilty keeping back by Esrl Grey of documents which were most important to the committee , in influencing thsir decision on the colonial affairs of the West ladies . Having thus rtiter&ted the chargeg cf s systematic suppression oi the truth—of the keeping back documents for a political purpose , he would leave the ¦ whole matter in the heads of the honse , ofeservin ^ r . at the &ame tima . that he meant by his charge against Earl Grey a pslitical fraud , and not a fraud in tfce ordinary acceptation of the word .

      Lord J . Rcs-ell complained that no answer had been g " . ve 3 to Mr Hswes ' s question , as ta whether heintended to adhere to or withdraw the charge he bad made ob Friday cifht of minutes having been concocted and indorsedupoB the despatch after the thne they purported to have bsen dated . The other charga was , that tbe noble Ior 3 had cawgea Mr Hivres with having answered tbe questions of the c « ataittee in a manner that was calculated to deceive them , with the direct intention of € olngEO . He wished to know whether the noble lord tvoaU adhere to that charge also , or retract it ? He called on the noble lord to answer distinctly , whether he would prove those charges or withdraw them . He indienintly repudiated the imputation of pelitical fraud orT the part of Earl Grey and the sabordiHates of tfee Cjlonial OS : e .

      Hr DissAEtt thought that Lord G . Bentinck had gpokea quite long enough to convey his meaniDg to the Souse . It was a misapprehension to suppose that the noble lord had intendad to make a direct and positive charge of concocting minutes against Sir Hawes . And if SUCh ba 3 been bis Intention , Mr Hewes a question had teen answerei , in the first sentence of Lord G . Bentinck ' s spe : ch , in which he declared that , so far as that t&args went , everybody must hsre _ been sat sfiad that the hoH , gtntleraaa ' s statement In his own exculpation had been correct . He ( Mr Disraeli ) than made himself a par . y to the real accusation , which was that of a lystematic suppression by the government of information Tftica to & against its own views » nd policy , which he did br re-statiDt the whole case , and qsoting

      velami-Eoaely from documents to sustain and strengthen it . The hon . member proceeded to fay that , to all these charges , ministers had commenced tbeir defence by pleading gcUty , their ell ° gatien being that their effence wbb a blnnder , not a crime . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought that aothing could be mere enormously ridiculous than their position . ( Cbetrs snd Isn ^ fctsr . ) It was very conre-Lientf . T a government to deprsoats discussion , and to censure all inquiry as in bad taste . Notalug coaid posiibly be more indelicate tben asking a man questions ithich be didnotfiul it convenient to answer . ( Alaugh ) But tbeis were questions trhich must be answered . He believed that that discussion wonld mfike an impreRSion diswhere that ' elsschere to which the hon . Undtr Secretary had so confidently appealed . Elsewhere '

      it would be said that there were som : facts of a very juspicous character , which must be explained . ' Eltewheie'it would be remembered that three important despatches bad not been produced before the super ccm . mittee ; and elsewhere' it -srenld not be forgotten tfcat thanoble S'gie ' . ary of State had held up Jamaica as a dtsirable pUce for the inrastnect of capital . ( CSeerB and laughter . ) These were all fact 3 which would tell 1 elsewhere ; ' Bnd he had that confidence in the geod seats snd spirit of ' elsewhere' to believe , that they WOUld not find fault with a member of parliament who attempted honestly to do bis duty and to elicit truth , and who was not afraid , when necessary , to impeach a Sinister , however high his position , bright Us bonourB , or topg his pedgrea . ( Loud cheers , and laughter . )

      Mr T . Shith complained that tho hon . member for Bucks had evaded the maiE question , which was the eharge Egainst the Colonial-oSce of haviEg concocted certain minutes . ( No . ) The observations of the noble lord , in plain English meant a charge of forgery . ( Hear , heer . ) The hon . member for Buck 3 had said , that his noble friend had withdrawn tbe charge . If he had done 10 , he ( Mr T . Smith ) considered be bad dene so in s very unhandsome manner . ( Ministerial cheers . ) He thought that tbe noble lord should either withdraw bis charge or put himself in a condition to prove it . ( Hear , hear . ) Thesecond charge was that his hon . friend ' s ( Mr Hawes ) memory was shorter thaa anything on record since the celebrated case of Theodore MBjaccai . . Sow who was that Hsjoechl ! The greatest liar the world bad ere " produced . ' Ferdinand MenSez Pinto was bat a type of Mm . " ( Lwghter . ) Were such things to be asserted of en hoa . member of thsst house and not either fully provtd or frankly withdrawn ? ( Hear , hear . )

      Sir J . PxKisGieK considered that an undue import . « nce had been given by government to the personal Charges , which , if they had te-: n msde , had been also withArzm and tie attention ef th * hOUBBhad been fil rerted froai tl e real charge , which nn& as to the prcpti . ety of th « C 3 nduct of the ColonUl Office . In his opinion , there appeared to be &pntna facie ease egainst it . Sir G . Gui denied that any attempt bai been made to dirtrt the attintioo of the honse . The reBl question before the hnuse was that more immediately personal to JfrHawe * . the charge against whom was completely refeted bj the plain and txnadoroed etatezieat which he had raade . He t&en declared that the government was quits ready to mest any charge which sight 6 b made against the Colonial Officewhen that more immediately

      , aaiJee the attention of tho fconse was disposed of . Mr BiSTtett leemcd to think that it would be better for the £ OTeraHJent , if It had a regular opposition to contend ¦ with . The wast of aa opposition was certainly not a matter of whica the government had to complain . * r ? bat they had to complain of was , tbat there was not at the he * d of that opposition & gentleman ef high feelmg , of a geatrsug mind , of great parliamentary ex . perience , and capable of leading a party , and who , in so doing , wonld hare gome regard for the character of the tauss , ths decency of debate , and the character of the psrty Tfhich bad to look np to him . ( The latter part of the honourable gentleman ' s brief speech , which was vedferously cheered , wa 3 delivered with great warmth and Te&emence of action . )

      Lord 0 . Bestikcs , who rose in a state of evident ex . eiUmsnt , observed that , judgiDg from the manifestation of feeling which bad token place in tbe honse on Siturfi » j monilng , it was tbe opinion of the house at hast that its character had not been so much damaged by tnything that had fallen from him , as by that which had proceeded from the noble lord at the bold of the governtaent . ( Cheers from the Oppaiitlsn . ) He then proceeded to repeat his charge against tbe government , which he designated a grave aad serious offence , which was calculated to be deeply injarious to tbe transmarine posses . jious of the Crown . Toe matter then dropped , and the sojourned debate oa tke Sugar Question was resumed by

      Hr G . Thompson , who eendemned the government ceheme of colonisation . He described tbe importation ef coolies as ruinous to plsntew , for tbose BervantB were Ia 2 ? racawajs , Immoral , and poBSEBsed of ever ? vice , without one virtue , besides being very expensive . With reapeet to the charge of breach of contract jgain ^ t Eaglsnd , he contended that the colonists had been the first to fail in carrying out the contract ? . The distress of the colonies did sot proceed from the act 3 of eraaaci patlon in 18 ^ 4 and 184 S , or indeed from any other ceuse than culpable mifmanayement and extravagance on the

      partofihoie who were intrusted with Indian property . Ee hoped to see the day when tho West Indies would have no absentee landlords , being convinced that such Bight be effected by personal superintendence , thrift , and in-proved cultivation . He disapproved of the gotsrrmentloan , as fee was convinced that it only Etove off the evil day for a cbort time , and those colonies would then be in as bad , or s worse position than before ; nor Could he vote for increased protectios , for he thought it sanecessary , while the former was a departure from our saBonal principles .

      Mr Bienal commenced by answering ths various arguments of members who had attacked the management ef tbe West Indian plantations , and with respect to Mr Thompsoa ' s sttack en abienteeism , he would 86 k him how it was that sixteen resident planters had come t » the British Parliament to say they could not go on , and voold be reined ff goreraaent did cot assist them . He « s not averse , as had been tuppoied , to the IntroduotSoa ef improvements , for on his estates there wag alwys aa order to adopt every improvement that was to &e bad . He a « ked how it wti that this country had of late jean incelcated how doctrines ?

      Our colonies daring the war , and if the government intentad to maintain them , they matt adopt a large and comprehensive seale of relief . lie advocated the principle of admitting colonial produce duty free . As to the duty , he admitted that as far as the scale of redaction npoa Muscovado sugar was concerned , the proposition of the government was batter than tltat of the right hoa . gentleman on the opposition beaches . He believed that If be were to go amongst his mercantile friends snd connesiens he could not raise one shilling npoa his West Indian estates . Why , therefore , under such clrcum . stances as theBP , were the West Indians to be subjected to the charges so constantly made 3 gainst them of apathy and idleness , wben they had not tha meaai of Culti . vasing properly their estates ? He should ba 6 orry , in the year 1848 , to find tbat Eng land had bo far departed

      from the dictates of common sense as to give up ihe West India colonies for worthless possessions . For tho reasons ke bad ttatea , and considering that the Chan . cel ! or of the Etofccqner had held firm to his differential daty on rum , and had not listened to the gay LotharioB from Ireland , he ahonld vote for the propositions of the gonrnmsnt before , the bouse . ( A burst of laughter . ) S . r J . Gsabak admitted tbo great importance of the subj . ct , although surrounded with difficulties , but the icsuo mu 3 t be decided by the interests of tfce entire community . He was usable to find , in the jpeech of the hon . gentleman who had just sat down what he would recommend to remedy the distre ss In tbe West Indies . He admitted the justice of the complaints of the colonies for the cutting Bhort of tho time of the apprenticeship , bj which they had been placsd under some disadvantage . He then reviewed the acts of 1844 aed 1816 . and admitted that the act of the former year was imperfect ,

      inasmuch as it wag intended to prevent any encourage , mant being given to the slave-grown sugar . With retpect to the latter , ha had beea induced te give an unwilling assent to it , because he would not be o party to upset a Roreroment that had so recently acceded to uffiee . This act had been pissed afcer great delibera . tton , full discussion , and careful review of the facts ; snd therefore he thought it a finel declsien with regard to our policy on the su . < ar question . It had cheapened sugar , without giving the Btimulus that was expected to the flave trade . He also saw in manifestoes from the Protection Society signed by the Dake of Richmond that cheapness was treated with derision . Taking all tiese signs together , hebelieved that an attempt at reaction was impending , and to such reaction he was decidedly opposed . ( Cheers from the free traders . ) In passing , he would rpeak of the value of cheapness . LordG Bektinck—And the cheapreBs of wages . (

      Protectioaist cheers . ) Sir J . Gkahah would not ehrink from that part of th 9 question . ( Hear , hear ) His experience of the jear 18 * 2 convinced him on that point . Lord G . Bestikck—You stated t both waye . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir J . GaiEiH—Ths noble lord ' s taunts fell harmless on him . ( Hear , hear ) No taunts could drive him now from powtr to make room for others . ( Hear , hear . ) He was there ready and bound to speak the troth —( hear ) —aud his experience of the distresa of the manufacturing districts convinced him that the converse of the proposition , aainely , that lowoess of prlee was accompanied by lowness of wages , was true , and that low wages fell on tha working community when articles of firat necessity were dear . ( Hear , hear . ) He was sati sfied therefore

      that they must be cautious before they allowed taxation to entanca the price of articles of the first necessity . ( Hear hear . ) Cheapness of price could not ba put down by the anathemas of the Dake of Richmond . ( Ke&T , hear . ) What was the practical tearing of the cheapness of sugar ? It entered Into the consnmption of every family . It was almost the only condiment to the tasteless rice , the insipid gruel , tha saur-krout of the poor man . ( llear , bear , ) And when ke could get notnhg mare nourishing , it rendered palatable nu coffee and his tes . ( Hear . ) Cheapness , therefore , in this matter was everything . This was tbe first attempt at a reactionary policy founded on a raturn to prohibitory

      duties , [ and he was opposed to that reaction , ( Hear , hear . ) He believed in the present state of society In fsis country , and with all that Is taking place around them , that it was impracticable — ( hear , hear)—and if practicable , he believed it to be most dangerous . He believed it was tbe verr reverse of conservative with regard to all their institutions , and , if carried intoiffect , he trembled for tho consequ . noes . ( Hear ) This proposition was the first sttp to give effect to tbe prophecy of the honourable member for Buckingham . He wasn 3 t prepared to take thU step . ( Cheers . ) He thonghtit unwise and impolitio , and , boldia : that opt . nioa deeply and smcerelT , he could not hesitate to g ive his vota aeaiait tk 9 amendment of Mi hon . friend .

      ( Cheers . ) The debate was adjourned till Thursday , and the house rose at half-past twelve o ' clock .

      TUESDAY Jone 27 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Esrl Geet , in moving for the production of certain papers , defended himself from the charge of having kept back , falsified , and coneocted documents , with the intention of deceiving and misleading a committee of tho House of Commons , appointed te Inquire into tbe condition of the West Indies . He admitted tLat a despatch from one of the governors of the West Inlia Islands , intended to have bsen communicated to that committee , 03 d by mistake been kept back , but he pledged bis honour that no intention bad existed on his part , or on that of his colleague , to deceive or mislead the committee .

      Lord Staslet regretted the situation In which he was placed , tkat ef becoming an accuser of the public department over which he had formerly presides !; and having recapitulated the charges against the Colonial Office , gave creiit for an intention on the part of the minister to preduce the document In tha first instance , but contended that the withholding of the documents was an error , if not a wilful one , at least of the gravest kind . He concluded by submitting that , while he did not directly charge Earl Gr . y and his colleague ( Mr Hawes ) with the wilful suppression of despatches , which ought to have been placed before tbe committee , he had at leaBt made out a strong case of suspicion against tbe management In the Colonial Department , justifying Lord < J . Bentlack In the course ke bad pursued . Lord Bbocghah considered tbat it was perfectly justifiable in Lord George Bentinck to pursue , in relation to public acts , the course he bad taken . Earl Geet replied .

      After a few words from Lord Lansdowke and Lord REDESDiLE the subject dropped , and the house adjourned . HOUSE OP COMMONS . —There not being forty members present at four o ' clock , the house stood adjourned . WEDNESDAY , Jone 28 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met at twelve o ' clock . The Officebs of Heb Mjjestx ' b Ship Sheabwateb . —Sir G , Geet . —I am anxious to make a brief statement ts tie house in justice to some naval officers , who feel themselves aggrieved by itatetcenta affecting them which have appeared in the public papers , and have been made the subject of a question in this house . I refer to

      the officera of her Maje 3 tj ' g ship Shearwater . Tho house will recollect & question pat tome Borne time since by the ben . and gallant gentleman opposite , tbe member for Armagh , founded on a statement ia the newspapers , that tha prisoner Mitchell , who was convened in that risip to Spike leland , had been invited to breakfast b ; the omcerB of the ship . At that time I bad no infor * mation on tbe Eubjectbejond what wag contained in the public papers , and in a private letter to the aame effect . Since tbat time , however , Admiral Maoksy , who is in command at Cork , has called for a detailed report upon the ssbject from Lieutenant Tumour , the commaading officer of the Shearwater , and tbe ezplauation ts perfectly satisfactory , and completely exonerates the officers from tbe slightest imputation . It eppears that the prisoner

      wrb placed on board ander the charge of two pence officers , and tbe cbart . room was assigned by Lieutenant Turnour for their ubb during the passage . The steward was directed ta furnish , the prisoner and police-officers with tbeir meali in tbe chart-room , and this wss done , with the exception of tbeir breakfast , ob tbe only morning on which they were on board , vrbieb , in contequence of the chart-room being occupied by tho police-officers ' bed , was with the permiuion of Ltentenant Tor . nour , pravided in the gun-room after the officers of tbe ship had themselves breakfasted . Lieutenant

      Turnour and the officers , though feeling aggrieved by the statements which have appeared npon this subject , have very properly abstained , in obedience to general instructions in su ; h cases , from justifying themselves by my statement made through tho public press , and , although I should otherwise have thought 1 b unnecessary to refer again to tbe case , I feel that under these circumstances it is due to the officers of the Shearwater that I Lbould give thia explanation ef tbe real facts of the ca . se , which completely exonerates them from the slightest blame .

      Dekbt Sweeps . —Sir 6 . Gbet , in reply to Sir Robert Inglis , said that in consequence of his attention having been called to the advertisements which appeared in the newspapers , ia reference to Derby sweeps , ho had made inquiries in respect to the state of the law on the subject , and he found that in 1845 , there was a decision in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , in which it was decided that Derby sweeps were lotteries , and were , consequently , an infraction of the provisions of the Act relating to lotteries . He had , therefore , had a communication with the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes , and he learned irom a letter sent to him by the Secretary of that Board , that it was the intention of the Board to lay some of the advertisements in question before him . When they came before him , he would give them the best attention possible .

      The 'No House' onTue 6 dat . — A conversation took place on the subject of tbs ' no house ' yesterday . Mr Ewakt and Sir W . M 9 lbswosth , who h .- > d been prevented brit'gin £ on the motions of n hich they had given notice , bitterly complained of the absence of their friends and Mr Cobden strongly censured the government for not making a house . Sir G . Gbey spoke iu reclv and the subjectdropped . * •" Roman Catholic Relief Bili .. —The motion to go into committee on this bill led to a protracted discussion which terminated by a division , and a majority of twentyl six for the motion .

      The house then went into committee , and the remainder of the sitting was occupied ia the discussion of clauses , and divisions upon them , in which the members were so equal that the chairman gave the casting vote Jw ^ a obje cte < to bjthe Opposition , on the ground ^ l ? t , Sp rt - rhad V * power ° ' g »* W the casting vote . The Chairman of Committeee had no such power Ultimately tneChainnan reported progress , and obtained leave to sit next Wednesday , and the house rose at 6 lx 0 elock , having made very little progress witb the bill .

      Funeral of Brother Hbnrt Hanshard , who dud from the effect of blows , given whilst attending a public meeting at Nova Scotia-gardens , Bethnal-green , on the 4 th day ef June . As we announced in our last , the good and true Chartists of the Tower Hamlets , had resolved to honour the remains of their departed brother with a public funeral ; and before the hour of two o ' clock on Sunday , June 25 th , the Whittington and Cat , Crown and Anchor , Globe and Friends , Sir Walter Scott , Grey's Coffee-house , and other Chartist houses , were crowded with persons anxious to testify their respect to the worth of their departed brother , and to mark their abhorrence of the violence and brutality of their

      oppressors , by attending the mournful cortege . At three o ' clock , Abbey-street , Bethnal-green , where the body had been removed to , and the streets adjacent , were thronged with human beings ; the pro-CAssionthen formed , the relatives of the deceased taking their place next the coffin ; then followed Chartists from all parts of the metropolis , and in which the ' Emmett Brigade' was most conspicuous ; the procession , its numbers being variously computed at from five to seven thousand persons , proceeded quietly along the Bethnal-green-road , to the Victoria Cemetery , passing along the route where the police so wantonly exercised their brutality and ferocity ; but on this occasion not a policeman was to be

      seen , although there were plenty of them concealed ready for' action . ' Arrived at the Cemetery , the ex-City Missionary , who was discharged from his functions for having written and refused to retract the truth relative to the police outrages in Bishop Bonner ' s-fields , was most appropriately chosen to officiate as clergyman on this occasion , and delivered a most feeling address , alluding to the ' unnatural means by which the departed brother had lost his life ; ' his address produced a powerful effect on the audience ; he was followed by Dr M'Douall , in an address of thrilling , powerful , but mournful eloquence ; he called on Mr M'Crae in his capacity of dissenting teacher , to offer a parting benedietion , aud to call on all present over the remains of their deceased brother , never to cease their exertions

      until the Charter became the law of the land and thereby avenge their brother ' s blood , upOn which call very man present took off his hat , and with up . lifted head gave most solemnly the required pledge The addresses of Dr M'Douall and Mr M'Crae pro ' duced a deep effect , the tears flowing copiously down the furrowed cheeks of many an athletic man ; the effect was much heightened by the appearance of the aged father and mother of the deceased who was the main support of his venerable parents . ' The tody being deposited in the earth , the procession accompanied the friends of the deceased back to their residence , and then quietly dispersed . We learn that a considerable sum was collected on the occasion which we understand is to be devoted to the support of the aged couple , who ha \ e been so mercilessly deprived of their only son .

      ( from oar Third Edition < 4 tost Wttfc . ) VERDICT AGAINST SIR GEORGE GREY AND THE POLICE , IN THE MATTER OF THE CUARriST MEETINGS IN NOVA SCOTIA GARDENS . AND BONNER'S F ? E 1 DS , HELD ON SUNDAY , THE 4 th _ ^^ — — ¦ ~ .. "TT

      OF JUNE . A coroner's inqiest waa held on Wednesday , June the 21 't , in the large room of tho Kings-Head Inn , Proapeclrow , Bonner ' s Fields , Bethnal Green , before W . Baker , Esq ., coroner , and twelve honesi residents of the district , who composed the jury , The jury having viewed the body , The Coronbb said , he understood the dcoeaaed had died from fever ; under these circumstances it would be well to examine the medical men , and , nethapa , it might not be neoessary to go further . Frederick A gar . surgeon to the Infirmary at . tached to Bethnal Green Union , was then sworri and examined by tha Coroner . He said the deceaseo

      Was a weaver , and had resided at Blackbird Alley , llorso Ride , St John-street , Bethnal Green , and was twenty-six yews of age ; he was admitted to the Infirmary on the 12 th of June . Deceased remameo at the Infirma ^ until he died on the 17 th instant , al twelve o'clock at noon ; deceased walked totbehoua * with the assistance of two persons ; did not oomplair of any iujury , was occasionally delirious , talked about tho Chartists and the police , told him ( witness ) that he was a ChartiBt ; he treated the case as ono of fever , called it typhus fever ; had a dispensary in the house ; the remedies he applied we « blister to the neck and medicine ; did not perceive

      any marks of violenoe on deceased's body , nor did de eeascd complain of any ; ascribed deceased ' s death t ( typhus fever , and certified accordingly to the Regis trar of the diatriot ; the death was registered yeater day had stated to Mr Fairchild , master of th house , and Bub-equently to the beadle ( Mr Goodwin that he was satisfied aa to the cause of death ; ha < afterwards heard that deceased ' s friends demandec an inquest ; thought it proper that Dr Moore shoul < open the body , and make an examination ; was pre sent at the post mortem [ examination ; the beadle thought itmore satisfactory to deceased ' s friend s tha a stranger to the parish should make tho examina

      The Coroner here asked thejury if they wished to hear Mr Moore . A Juhymah thought they had better hear more evidence first . ,, ,. . . , Dr Moore said , he thought it right after he had incurred the danger of making the post morten examination , that his evidence should be taken . A Jdrob asked , were there any bruises on tho body The Coroner replied that Mr Agar had already stated there were not . A Juryman said , the upper part of the body appeared literally smashed . The Coroneb Baid that arose from decomposition caused by the heat of the weather . A JcnYMAN—But the other portion ef hiB bodj does not show decomposition . A Juryman again asked if there were any brumes " m ? A ° gar ! -I did not observe any , nor did deceased lain of any .

      comp In answer to a question from anotherjuryman , Mr Agar admitted there was a contusion on the body . . Edward Moore sworn : Was a doctor of medicine , a member of the College of Surgeons , and resided at Thurloe-heuse , Hackney-road ; had opened the body of deceased after death . Examined the body externally ; discovered a mark of decomposition of the eacrum , probably a bed sore ; an abrasion on the neck , probably the result of the blister applied by Mr Agar ; great puffioess on the right BiJe of the neck , like a bladder half filled with wind , also considerable puffiness in the back part of the neck aad muscles of the aame . He nest removed the skull-cap , at the part that was swollen , and discovered ^ that the muscles were in a very contused and bruised fltace , on the right Bide only , which answered to the puffiness within . He then removed the top of the skull

      —di ? covered no fracture , but an ingorged state of tne covering of the brain . Opposite to the contusions externally , the brain was softened , and had evidently been inflamed , which had , in a great degree , subsided . The ventricles of the brain had a very small quantity of water in them . The upper portion of the brain , whioh was all lie examined , waa highly ingorged , in the tame manner as the other portion of the membrane . He then examined the cheat . Opposite to the swollen portion of the right side , discovered adhesions between tbe lungs and plethora , some of which were of recent dateperhaps two or three weeks . The left lungfl were quite Healthy—tbe heart small and contracted . He next examined tha abdomen ; fiund the liver healthy , the spleen ingorged with blood , the intestines were slightly iDflamed , but not ulcerated . These were the principal things he had observed . He should consider the deceased died from fever .

      Coroner . —Would all the appearances you hare deeoribed result from fever ? Mr Moobk . No , they would not . He was inclined to think daceased had brain fever before Mr Agar saw him ; no doubt it ultimately assumed a typhoid character , and that deceased was inoapable of deacribing to Mr Agar the character of his disease or its causes ; this was all he had to say . Mr Aoar , in answer to a jarer , said , he did not think the deceased had fallen . Dr Moore , in answer to a question by a juror , Baid , the inward injurieB he had described were caused by external violence ; could not say whether the contusions were there befors fever occurred ; violence would aggravate fever . He understood that the deceased had been under a dispenser of medicine six days previousto his being under Mr Agar ' s treatment . The Coronbk . —What was the nature of the re-Btraint put on deceased when in the infirmary ?

      Mr AsiR . —A straitwabteoat . The nurse put it on , because she could not restrain him . Deceased had declared himself a Chartist , and appeared to make the declaration in tones of triumph . Had heard from his friends that he had been ill-used by tho police . Believed that he would have recovered from his injuries had he not had the fever . He was a well formed young man . Thejury here intimated a desire to hear some of the friends of the deceased . Mary Simpson , wife of Joseph Simpson , weaver , 49 , High-street , Great Garden-street , Mile End

      New Town , was then sworn . Had known deceased since he was ton years of age , down to the period of his death . Had seen deceased on the Sunday he was beat , last Sunday fortnight . Came to his mother ' s house and saw him ; aeceaaed Icrek off his skirt , and said , ' See how shamefully I have been served . ' Deceased drew her attention to bruhes on his neck , back , and body . Saw a mark of red across each of his shoulders , and down hia aide , to his hips . Deceased was much excited , and complained of having been beaten by three policemen , in Bird Cage Walk , Stepney-road .

      The Coroner said , this could not bs received as evidence , even had the deceased uttered it himself , except he was at the time in full view of death . Mrs Sarah Hanbhard , of 3 , Blackbird-alley , mother of the deceased , waa then sworn . Her son was in a good state of health previously to his receiving the braises , nevar had a week's illness . He left borne on Sunday morning , June 4 th , at nine o ' clock , quite well , and came home about twelve looking very palo ; examined her son ' d body the fourth day following this—and remarked that the brnises were going off nicely , when he observed , ' You don't know what I feel inwardly ; ' he drooped oontinually afterwards , until he died . He bad applied to Mr Odborne , chemist , of Brick-lane , who administered medicine , but did not apply any external remedy .

      Dr Moore in reply to the Coroner said , the description given by the witness corresponds with the contusions and appearances found on the post niorttm examination . The Coroner here inquired if Mr Savage had any evidence to produce , as to who had beaten the deceased ? Mr Savage said he had not , it would be difficult to do so ; the brutality of the police was so great and the consternation caused thereby equally so , that so one had an opportunity of marking tho actual perpetrators of the outrage . The Relieving Officer to the Bethnal-green Union waa then sworn , and said , the deceased had applied to him for a doctor ' s order , He ( witness ) advised him to go into the Infirmary at once .

      A respectable-looking female in the room here stood np and exclaimed , that on last Sunday fortnight she had B 6 en six policemen beating One man at one and the same time . A gentleman in the room eaid , he had a friend who had seen three policemen beating one young man most scandalously . Gould not Bay if that young man was the deceased . If time was granted , he had no doubt he could produce his friend . A person in the room said , from the consternation caused by the brutality of the police , Sir George Grey was well aware the actual perpetrators could not be identified . A Juror said , he was decidedly of opinion that deceased had come by his death by violence . The Coronbb here drew a verdict ae follows : — ' That the deceased died a natural death from fever , which might have been accelerated by violenoe , administered by some persons unknown . '

      Here a young woman , tho sister of deceased , rase greatly agitated , and very indignantly demanded to speak , she had not yet been heard . Her brother was a murdered young man , he had died from the violence he had received at the hands of the police , she bad seen him Bhortly before his death , when ho had declared , if they wore his last words , this was the fact . The jury declared the verdict just read by the coroner , was not their verdict . The CoitoNER again essayed to indite , ' That the deceased died ( ropj fever . '

      The Jury . —No , no ! We don't admit that . We say he died from tbe violence be received on Sunday , the 4 th instant . A verdiot wbb then drawn up , oigeed by the foreman and the whole of tho jury , which terminated the proceedings : — ' That the deceased . Henry Hansharde
