• The Times this morning publishes the depositions taken in

the exa- mination of John Francis at the Home Office, on the charge of shooting at the Queen. They add very little to what is already known. In cross-examining Colonel Arbuthnot, Francis asked whether the Colonel thought that he intended to shoot the Queen, or whether it was done in a frolic ? to which Colonel Arbuthnot replied, " I cannot say." Henry Allen, of the Scots Fusileer Guards, deposed to hearing the whiz of• the ball when the pistol was fired : a blank-cartridge, he said, has a fla ter sound than a ball-cartridge.
