V' ° < Copaaa-cmirt , Throsmorton-stNet , City , spectacle maker , stated that he was in tiie Park ^ ad tipon hearing the report Of the first pistol h « taaed round , and saw the prisoner take a second one &o « i the inside * f hia coat , and fire at her Majeity . >_ ^ . . , . _
? v ^ e ? ° a V ' ^ * y > who was in attendance at the station-house , as weU as Mr . Qregorie , the magi » - *» te , observed that from what he could collect it was evident that the pistols were aimed at her Majesty ' s neck , and that it was only from the Prinee altering his speed that the bullets did not take the desired effect . The most important statement was that of a person named Pecks . He wib accompanied to the stationhouse by a constable ef the F division , who had been sent with him by Inspector Mullins . His statement was as follows : — "I have been in London about a week from Dorsetshire , and having never seeu ths Queen , I was anxious to see her , and accordingly I went to the park , and placed myself near to the ' palace in
* f ^ * ! ^! ' forafewminnte 8 ' l * " •¦ her Maj « ty and Prince Albert come out of the Palace , but not ebtaining a good view , I ran on to the Green Park , turning round by the angle to the west-road . I placed my . « elfabo * tfortyyardsinthe road towards Hydo Park for I had never seen the Queen before , and I therefore had a great desire to see her . On her coming up I consider there were not nine peoplo present ; theprisonerwas standing near me , be had his hands folded across under his coat . As the carriage came within a few yarda of him , I saw him take his right arm ^ " ^ J . eft , _* *» rf ^ ? " * «« 1 P * Uing out he fired it
a , -pistol He held it as if he ww fighting a duel or point blank . I thought it was an act of rejoicing , bat instantly afterwards he drew a second pistol from his breast He then crossed his arms , and stooped as if he took aim , and then fired . The instant he did so , Prince Albertlooked very flushed in his face , but the Queen appeared to me not to change countenance , for Ehe leant forward and spoke to Prince Albert , and he then drove off rapidly towards Hydepark . I became alarmed , and not knowing what was meant , ran away . On my reaching Covent-garden , I told a constable what I had seen , who took me to his inspector , and came with me here . "
Mr . P « cks afterwards said , » I had a very good view of the Queen , and she appeared to me very interesting and by no means alarmed when the pistols were fired !" The prisoner , who appeared to be perfectly sane and intelligent , was ask » d by Mr . Superintendent May if he wished to make any remark , observing that what ho said would be used as evidence against him . The prisoner , who maintained a considerable degree of sullenneas , inquired if the Queen was injured ? Mr . Superintendent May— Mr . Pecks , what did yon feel at the mosient the pistols were fired ? Mr . Pecks—I felt stunned and stuplfied . I could not believe that her Majesty ' * life was attempted . "
The pistols were here produced ; they are rather larger than those in nse by the police , but evidently of Birmingham niaka , and made more for show than efleet ; between the pan and hammer apiece of rag had been placed , to prevent the report being heard . It a late hour last night , we again vkibed the Nation house , whenrow 1 ng& ffi 5 "" Snrte * y of Hr-llarina Inspector Partridge , we ascertained that the assassin is a native of Birmingham , which place he left whtn only nina y » r » ol «««; that he had left his last place during the last month . They at length ascertained his residence , which was No . 6 , West-street , West-square on Bearehing his room , they found a sword and a black crape cap , made to fit the face , besides a list of names , which may lead to most important results . On his per-8 « n were found a half-crown , a knife , and a key ; there
were also found at Ma lodgings a ball and powderflask , the bullet fitting the pistols . From the time of the horrid attempt until eleven o ' clock , about twenty of the police were engaged in sifting the earth before the wall against which the ball is supposed U have rebounded , but at the above hour no bullet was found . On the retumof the royal party to the palace , they were accompanied by a numerous train of carriages of the nobility , the flush on Prince Albert ' s face having given way to a deadly paleness . During the whole of the night repeated messages came frem the House of Commons to ascertain if the as < gutffi n had made any statement . He , however , remained silent , with the exception of inquiring whether he had shot the Queen . This question he put several times during the course of the night
( From the Sun of Thursday Evening . ) It was generally understood that the prisoner Edward Oxford would be brought up to the Home Office for examination , at ten o ' clock this morning . At that hour , we found the Marquis of Normanby the Earl of Uxbridge , Lord R . Grosvenor , Mr ' Commissioner Rowan , Mr . Hall , the magistrate of Bow-street , and Mr . Burnaby , his clerk , were in attendance ; but we were given to understand that the prisoner would not be examined until two this afternoon , when a Privy Counc il will be assembled at the Borne Office , before which the prisoner will be examined . It is expected that the examination will be merely a preliminary one , and that the prisoner will be remanded . Shortly after
eleven o clock Mr . Fox Maule arrived at the Homeoffice , On being asked if reporters would be permitted to be present at the examination ? his reply was , "Most certainly not . " It would be contrary w all rule . " We understand that when ha was seized by police-constable Brown , the prisoner did not offer the slightest resistance , and acknowledged at once that he was the party who haa fired at her Majesty . He farther stated that the pistols were loaded with ball . The bullets , we understand , have not ytt bees found . The prisoner was placed m o *«« h » «» & »* where two policemen were with him the wfcol « sight , to prevent any attempt at suMjide , althottgh it did not appear that he learned to contemplate any attempt oi th * sort . H * sW weU , and shjs morning enraged in -feonverfcifc *
with tne otteera who were attending him . Ite searching h ^ lodgings , in addition to" th « baHett , the sword , and the mask , we understand there we » found themies and regulations of some secret society written in a fairish hand , and also several letters addressed to the prisoner from respectable persons . We haTe * eenthe pistols : ther are about the size of duelling pistol * , and axe rather showy . They are fitted with ramrods and pcrcuadoa cape ; th « baWa ^ J ^ M ^ d i wdihey bear what appears to be the marker the Birmingham Proof-house ; but a gentlemaaoosaeeted with Birmingham declared the mark to beafergfirj , » ad t b ^ pjstotethemselvwtobeofverT infenorjB » u&cwre . They appear quite new . It appears that th « prisoner occupied only a bed-room at his lodgings , and that the address which he gave last sight was a correct one .
Buckingham Palace , Two o'aoclc We rejoice to say that her Majesty has not suffered in the lea « from the excitement , bat that she is in tiie enjoyment of perfeet health , and in excellent spirit * , a&d intends taking her drive earlier this evening than osaal , in order te show herself to the people who are assembled in multitude * at the Palaee . Immediately after ( he tot shot was fired ai her Majesty his Royal Highness Prince Albert placed his hand upon her Majesty ' s bonnet , pressed her down in the carriage , « ad placed himself between her Majesty aadU > e « iMS < dn . bo that had theleooad
shot taken effect , fei * Royal Highness would hare been the victim , and not her Majesty . On her return to the Palace , her Majesty immediately retired to her apart ment , and burst into a flood of tears . Having relieved her excited feelings by this effort of n * * her Majesty resumed her usual calmness , and . joined the company in the drawing-room , as if nothing unusual had occurred . It is generally understood that addresses of congratulation will be moved in both Houses to-night , and that a day of national thanksgiving for her Majesty ' s providential deliverance will be appointed . The Corporation of the City Of London met to-day , and unanimously agreed to an Address of congratulation to her Majesty , with which they will go up to Buckingham Palace in state to-morrow .

Sun Office , &ven o ^ Cloek . EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER . At two o ' clock this afternoon , all f £ e Cabinet Ministers attended at the Home-office , & > d a close and searching examination was made . Several witnesses were examined ; but what occurred in the Council was not allowed to transpire . We understand that the prisoner betrayed no signs of intimidation or confusion , and answered all the questions Pf '^™^ hand . THE RESULT WAS THAT S ? -iSu ^ 0 RDERED T 0 BE COMMITTED £ 9 NEWGATE TO TAKE HiS TRIAL FOR „ .. „„ , „„„ * . " ^^ i ^ enoaoek . EXAMINATI 2 L ^ P ^ ^ MITTAL OF
. HIGH TREASON . We saw him on leaving the Council , and he appearca moved , but not downcast . His sister , and his sister ' s husband , and his unole , were waiting for him in the passage of the Home Office , and he embraced her very affectionately , and apparently with tears . r J We understand that his character has been hitherto irreproachable ; but that he is of a curious temper . Hia friends describe him as passionate , and trace that to his father , who was also very passionate .. He is said to have more than a dash ot black blood in his veins ; his father having been a Mulatto . He is tolerably we ll connected ; his uncle is a very respectable man , living in Gracechurchstreet
. ms mother has kept a shop since his falher'a death , mac years ago , and lives decently . She hae one daughter , as well as this unhappy son , and the whole family n 7 e together . It is true that ho was born m Birmingham , but he was removed from there before hia father ' s death , upwards of ten years ago . The father , we understand , was a working jeweller , and the family , as far as 7 T « an learn , are distinguished for nothing but a little ill-temper . We marked bis countenance well , which we should say is intelligent . His forehead is marked and prominent , denoting , we think , considerable determination and obstinacy . He is short and slight , bo as to look ev $ n younger than he actually i 3 . Hia appearance is that of a boy of fifteen years of age .
THE BULLET FOUND . At about half-past five ; two poor boyB , one of Kni ?!? D 1 fi ^ me Jan . JenQi"g 8 , found one . of the bullets fired at her Majesty , it was burietfinthe p > und directly under the wall , w ^ iiffl WTWtrkeeT by it .

Polandstreet , i ^ avendiah-square , who'Was standing hear * at the tome , and brought to the Palace . The bullet ie flattened on one of its Bides , and is marked with red streaks , as though it had struck against a brick . It is in psssession of the Inspector , at the Palace , who also took charge of the boys . '
( From the Standard of Thursday Eveniny . J The prisoaer is a young man , just turned eighteen years ot age ; he has a very intelligent countenance , and his general appearance ia prepossessing . He was visited by Mr . M'Cann , the surgeon , late last nignt , at which time some one asked him where he slept on the previous ( Tuesday ) night ; he replied , At home , and I slept sound andwell , andso lahail do here , ' pointing to the bed in his cell . The lode-^• ° u , P risoner . ia West-street , West-square , ( . Which only consisted of » bed-room ) have been again minutely searched by Ihe police officers , but nothing found , except a copy of rules and regulations of some supposed secret soeietv . and a sword . On the
prisoner being searched at the station-house , there was found in hw pocket another copy of the rules f ^®?^* 410118 ^ "" y * <> ci ety , whioh was enttUed Young England f consisting of ten or twelve rules for the guidance of its members . These rules are written in a good , firm , and plain hand * and were signed by twelve assumed or nickname , such as Alphonso , ae . < fce . ; the name of the supposed secretaw is signed Smith . We understand one of th ** H « s requires that at all meetings the members of the society are to wear black crape oner their faces , but as it is intended there should be inferior and superior officers , they are tobe known and their rankdistinguiBhed b y a certain number of roBettea on the black veil , or mask . On the admission of members
they are to be required to take a secret oath , a copy of which , we are informed , is in the hands of the police . We give the above as it has been reported tons , but the general opinion is , that no secret society of any extent really exists , but that these rules » ad regulations were drawn up by some visionary or political fanatic . The prisoner , however , m all his conversations appears perfectly cool and collected , and maintains a remarkable degree of composure . There is not the least appearance of a bewildered intellect , or the least approach to any aberration of mind . He persists in stating that he has given his real name , Edward Oxford , and that he waa employed in Oxford-street as barman at a publio house .

LEEDS . Rothwell Gaol . —On Friday , the oth instant , a meeting of the whole of the inmates of Rothwell Gaol was held for the purpose of amending the internal regulations of the establishment . The chair was taken by Mr . John Stephenson , who , in a very able speech , stated the object of the assembly , and \ vas of the utmost assistance , from bis l © ng experience of the mismanagement that had taken place by our predecessors . Many alterations were proposed , discussed , and carried unanimously . Two gentlemen , namely , Mr . John Roberts and Mr . John Wisdom , were appointed to wait upon Mr . Jewison , the Governor , to point out the misery and inconvenience all had to endure , which he admitted ,
and in the most handsome and humane manner sanctioned the whole of the proceedings , since which he has promptly provided new beds aua linen , and engaged a person for the purpose of washing and keeping the same in repair . The deputation having signified Mr . Jevd 3 on ' s assent , a vote of thanks was giveuto him inthe following resolution : — Resolved unanimously , " That the thanks of the debtors are due , and are hereby given , to Mr . Jewison , for his kindness and humanity in granting their request ; and that a report of these proceedings be sent to the Northern Star and the Leeds Intelligencer , as the only papers in Leeds which are deserving of our notice . The debtors recommend to that flint-hearted WhigMarBhall , the Chairman of the Honour Court of Pontefract , the propriety of attending to the noble and humane example of Mr . Jewison .
Complaint agaikst a Watchman . On Friday last , Joseph Sheard , who had been on the nightly watch establishment for abont six weeks , was charged before the magistrates , at the Court House , with having committed an unprovoked assault Upon Mr . Edward Holmes , grocer , Briggate . Mr . Holmes stated that he had his residence in-Merrion-street , and on Saturday night previous , after closing his shop in Briggate , he was accompanying Mrs . Holmes home ; when in Wade-lane they were overtaken by the watchman , who not only used the most opprobrious epithets to Mrs . H ., but assaulted the complainant ; other witnesses proved the man ' s illegal conduct . Mr . Superintendent James said the parties came to the police-office after the assault , aad
finding the watchman drunk , he had suspended him , and brought the case before the Watch Committee that morning—the Committee had transferred it to the ¦ Mfctiafttea . Sheard made a sort of rigmarole ( WbDoe , which only made the matter appear worse « BMtt » him , and lie was held to bail to answer the ' charge at the next borough sessions . The Watch Committee dismissed kj ^ s trtm the force . Ahciert Romak& . —Oa Saturday last , this community opened a Senate at ihe House of Mr . Carlton , the New Inn , Wortley-noor ; the general Officers ef the Society were in attendance , and expressed their approbation of the becoming demeanor of the various candidates for admission to the New Senate , which bore the names of Foetulus , and promises ere long to be very strong in members .
Addingham Odd Fkllows' Ball . We understand that the handsome and capacious Odd Fellows ' Hall , at Addingham , is now completed , and will be opened by a publio dinner , on the 6 th of July ; several influential gentlemen have been invited , and we believe may be expected to take part in the interesting proceedings . Occasions of this kind cannot be too much cultivated ; we like to see gentlemen of talent associating with their humbler neighbours ; it serves te draw the affections more closely one towards the other , ana te son to lead to beneficial results . The merits of Odd Fellowship are not yet so folly appreciated as they ejight to bo .
MiNUTTOB Pbxhthig Pass * . —Mr . Benjamin Porter , of Leeds , the inventor and manufacturer of the Britannia printing press , has made one of » very small sue to send to the exhibition of the Halifax Mechanics' Institution . It is a very beautiful specimen of workmanship ; its size is ten inches by fourteen ; the platton measures three inches and a quarter bj four inches and a quarter , suitable for working a large eard ; and its weight is only twentyeight pounds .

: boivton . Signal Defeat of t&b Corn Law Repbausbs .-The Anti-Corn Law humbugs for the last eirfvteen moutha have made many attempts to get up a ^ femonstratioh in this town for a repeal of the Com Laws , without-effect ..-- All their endeavours id suppress the spirit of the people in their exertions in { be cause of the Charter have hitherto been totally frustrated .- Their boasted 20 , 000 names ( forced and fictitious ) to the repeal petitions are nowhere te-be found , when the people are publicly brought faceto face with the repealers , and the friends ofUniversal Snffrajfe . The Whig middle-okaj repealers , i&liikjng the ground clear , after having persecuted oor
leaders , JL , loyd , &c , till they were forced to leave the town , ventured to invite a hireling lecturernamed Hargreaves , to give the people a little rigmarole about the Corn Laws , who gave pubSo notice that he would deliver two lectures on the above aqbject , in the Theatre . On the first night . ( Friday last , ) he was allowed to say aU he bad W say without the leaBt interruption , and the Whigs congratulated themselves with the fancied victory they had achieved over the Chartists , and tanufe * them with not even venturing a cheer for fte-Charter
. On the second ( Tuesday ) night ' s Iectote . the committee of the Working Man ' a AssodaOo * were prepared to give the repealers a broadSte , ' On the commencement of the proceedings , the working men showed such a determination to have fair Ka y , by appointing a chairman , as made thecotfoa rds , whoi mustered in pretty strong numbcrav juite sensible that Chartism waa anything bat < te * g m Boiton . The lecturer pleaded hard to show how unfair it would bo to tie him up with a chairman ., out it was of no use . A chairman , a Chartist chairman , was appointed , and he proceeded . After tiring the patience of one of the largest assemblage ? that the theatre is capable of containing , for about aa honr and a half , with some of the moBVpueril » and UirA&dhftTA ftmyninanro tin ^ na «^ v . i : a-1 _ _^ -i !; LJSi ¦ - 1 1 j . ke
M . * = * fBTix ^ saasws with great reluctance , he consented to . J& . Leech * m a most eloquent and argumentative strain , and i » the happiest spirit and temper , shortly demolished the fallacies and sophistries of the lecturer , amidst the most enthusiastic bursts of applause . The cotton lordsmust have grown pale and ashamed whence depicted , in glowingand genuine colours , the horrora and atrocities of the factory system , and demonstrated
that it was the increasing powers of production by machinery , and not the Corn Laws , * that continued the wretchedness and poverty of the working classes . The proceedings terminated by a resolution to ihe effect , that there is' no ~ moff *« f alteviatine the condition of the working Cl&S&e 8 hot through equal representation , and that th « y shatt-. not cease in their exertions till the Charter becomesr the law of the land , which was carried unanimously . amid thunders of applause , and one cheer more .

Messrs Warden , Sullivan , Myerscough , &c , addressed thev meeting . A petition to the Housa of Cpmuwnf 2 praying them to alterand amend the law of libeL , and to memorialise the Queen to remit the sentence , parsed on Feargus O'Connor was adopted , and Ihe meeting adjourned , giving three cheers for O'Connor the Star , and the Charter .
