ACCIDENT ON TILE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY —INQUEST. An coroner's inquest was held yesterday, at the Vic loria Arms, Shrivenham, before E. Wasbrough, Esq., one of the coroners fur the county. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the hushes, which were not so mangled as might have been ceps cted - and, having returned to the inquestroom, proceeded wit ' h the inquiry es to the deaths of theltrv.Mr. Re.. Mr. Phillips and the Rev. Mr, Sandys. Evideece of their identity, and of the causes of death, having been given by the pereonal friends of the deceased, and by the medical gentlemen. Thome. Higgins, driver of the van front Ilighworth tothe Shrivenham station, stated that on Wednesday afternoon hi arrived with his neisur's (Mr. John Kent's) van at the Shrivenbana station, at ab.iut 3 si'cloek, and that he then assisted the two porters, Maybury aed Willouahby, in pushing a boreo.box on to the line. They were ell three so engaged, and is removing a loaded truck from out of the siding, when he (witneforss) heard the train c omin g . They were then going back two more empty trucks, and he got out of the way and called out to the others. May bury then ran out and held up his hand, but it was of no use. Directly they came in sight the truck whistle wee sounded, and the engine Tan into s. which were i:rivem up the embenkment and thrown on the platform He then looked and saw the bodies lying on the and assisted in lei:noting them. saw three de we re ad, a nd there were several other persons thrown out who iejurrd. They were pushing the horsebox out of the siding to make room for the other loaded trues, but the train came before they bad time to push it back. Witness was at the station at about • quarter before three o'clock, or he did not know whether the up capeas train had par or not. The Coroner here remarked that as the evidence of this witness affected both the porters, who were, as he under stroood, in custody , he t hou g ht it right that they should b brought into the room to hear it.—Tbe two then br prisoners ou , ght Jam in, e Maybury and William Willoughby, ware s and the evidence having been read to them, The prisoner, Maybury, said he wished to make a state ment. They h ad born moving the trucks, soil were just going to turn the turn table, when as be was stooping down to do so he suddenly heard the whistle dehe up express train, and immediately exclaim d, Oh, ar ! why didn' you tell me that the express train had not gone by r—that he had gone off duty to his dinner at two o'clock, and re turned at live minutss after three, and did nut know but that the express train b ad passed. When he returned he assisted in loading • wieggon_, and was not cautioned in the slightest manner, although there were three servants on duty at the station ; and if the 'sprees train had not gone by they ou ght to have cauti , ne d him. When the truck was on was the line it was on fur more t han four minutes, and yet. he mot cautioned by the polio: man as be should have born. Mr. Colvett Hudson deposed that he is the station clerk at Shrivenham and has been so fur upwards of three years. He was at ihe station when the accident hemmed. He had not given the porters orders to move the trucks, nor was he aware that they wire doing so. lie had been at the station for bout a quarter of an hour before the accident happened. Witness has the general business of the elects, issuing tickets, &c , to attend to, being the only eta ion clerk there, and therefore although the porters are supposed to be under hi- superior ten dance, they. move carriages, trucks, &c., without any specific insttactions from him. Witness ems in the office yesterday from the time he came, with the exception of his having gone over to the down platform for the *err nteen mieutes after three train down. When he so went over he did not know the express train had not passed ; but seeing the signal that the line was clear; and open he then of course knew that it bad not passel. It generally paves at three o'clock if punctual; and it is the duty of the policeman st the gate to lok out for and signal the trains. He wm on his poet at the time, when the trucks were shoved on to the line they must have been between him and the approaching train. When wit ness went seems the line was all clear, and it must have been after that that the horse r box was shoved on to the line. It eels so thrived on not fo the purpose of beiog attached to any train, hut to make room for the removal of a leaded truck, aft er ' which it would h ate b e e n again placed in the siding. It was not necessary that o have been shoved on the line when it was, and it was their own act and deed. The signal that the line is clear and • open is made when a train is expected, if it be so, whether the train is in sight or not, and it remains so until the train has passed, when it is immediately turned the other way. The porters arc aware of that, and they might have known that it hadn't passed if they had looked at the eignal. May bury goes to dinner at two and returns at three. Without asking any one he might have been aware of its not having passed if he had looked at the Sena'. If they had used the commonet observation, by looking at the signal, they would have waited until the train had passed ; and it must have been neglect en their part in not looking at the signal. From where the policeman stood at the time of the accident there was a good view of the line ; and if he had looked down the line he might have seen the train, and been in time to have stopped it before it came up to the station. By Mr. Saunders : Maybury has been on the line ever since I have been here, and was here when 1 came ; his oendact has been that and good and careful man up to the time of this secident, I hincy he has been on the line nearly effect was at once to equalise the quotations for money and time at the decline of price before quoted. Upon inquiry, however, it does not appear that the report rested on any solid foundation. Brokers of the AM standing confessed themselves to be ignorant aellinceedalous about any such considerable amount alsoney stock having been sold, or offered for sale. The solution of this rather remarkable fluctuation downwards has therefore to be sought either in in \ formation, political or otherwise, of an unfavourable character, possessed by the operating parties, but which did not transpire; or, which is the more pro bable cue, in the discouraging construction placed upon the general tenor of accounts from the Con tinent, but more particularly from France, on the ap pearance of the extra editions of the Daily News and other morning papers. At the close of business Con sols wero marked 844- to 1 for money, and 84 to 1 for time, showing a very slight recovery from the point of extreme depression, but re-establishing also the " backwardation" between money and time prices, which would appear to negative at once the assumption of so much money stock baying been brought upon the market. - Reduced Threes le ft off 82: to a.

But in the after part of the day prices drooped with Console. Spanish Fives left off at 121 to 13; the Threes , 22 ; to 31; Passive, 31 to 1, all these prices being lower than in the ear lier part of the morning. Considering the state of financial and money embarrassments in Nhulrid, it is somewhat surprising that even these rates ate main tained. In a country whose interest-bearing securi ties are ranging at the degrading discount upon what should be their comparative, leaving alone their no minal, value, of less than 50 per rent, the destruction of all credit and confidence cannot fail to follow de crees for raising by loan 100 millions of real], say one million sterling, in a 6 per cent. stock , at a n y the beet terms which shall be offered, whilst, at the same time, bolstering up the credit of the bank of San Fer nando, exhausted by the government demands upon its capital and hard money funds, by declaring its notes to be legal tender, as well as the Treasury Bills fur the loan to be raised, if raised it can be, in payment of customs dues. There need not be much hesitation about 'indicating that these legal tender securities will find few acceptors in the Custom-houses when, or should they curve to be, offered fur payments. The customs collector, as usual in such cases in Spain, will salute the royal decrees most obsequiously, whilst he eschews the paper presented, and insists on the hard dollars, meanwhile offering to forward to Ma drid the humble menwrias and representarioass of the parties aggrieved for consideration and satisiaction at some period which shall never arrive.

We had an almost universal improvement in shares yesterday, with an active demand, more especially in the York and North Midlands, Newcastle and Ber wicks, and other northern lines. The London and North Western and other leading lines participated also in the improvement, both in prices and business. Although Consols declined so sensibly towards the close of the day, railways were only p affected by the fact; and though the demand was rather slackened, the mar ket was good and firm to the close. tt BABB 1.15 T.-14 NOTL—The uw , tations of Una. in I tr.uo,- - tiuut : than of Hato D.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1848. ht years. rt Roscoe, the driver of the trait), was next sworn. Me void he had been an engine-driver in the service of the Great Western Company for upwsrds of 31 yeses and had previously been BO engaged on the Midland Counties Railway; be was the driver of the express trains from Swindon to Pad dington, and had been so for three years. When they started yesterday fr.m Swindon the train wee 21 minutes late. Sluivenham is the next station, and is six miles diusual s tant from Swindon. We wer e not going f a ster than when the accident occurred. We do not tempt by increased steam to make up for lost time. Ther at e have been orders issued within the last fortnight that if we lose time we are not to try to make it no. The usual speed in passing this station would be from 35 to 60 miles per hour. When we come in view of the signal at this station, if it was turned to indicate danger, we should be able to stop in plenty of time before we came to the station, betause I see it as I pees the canal bridge, which is a dilitoo l 3 of a mile and a half. When I saw it yesterday it indicated that the line was open and clear, and I did not see the obstruction on the line until I came up to the goods shed, and was within 150 yards of the trucks. I instantly blew the guard's whistle and made every effort to stop the train, but it was too late, and the engine dashed into collision with the horse box, and so canard the accident and the deaths of the deceued. By Mr. Saunders; I was driving one of the new eight wheel heavy engines. In my judgment the accident would have been far worse if it had been one of the six-wheel engines, and if it had not been for the strength and weight of the engine it would have been driven off the line, and we should have all gone together. Now only one carriage went off. The accident would have occurred, and been quite u serious if it had been an ordinary train instead of the ex press. I saw the signs' all right at the canal bridge, and I after I stopped the train the signal was still all right, and c alled the attention of sev e ra l of the passengers to it. e The policeman said that was quite correct ; th signals were on for the line being clear. lie turned it on a little before 3 o'clock, and kept on the look-out fa the express train; and, in the meantime, the 17 minutes' down train came and went all right. He then saw the express train coming, and held his hand out that all was right, and im mediately afterwards he saw the horse-box on the line. lie then ran as fast as he could to turn the signal, but, before he got half-way to do so, the accident had occurred. that the Mr. Saunders, in eerily to a juryman explained porters received general instructions when they were em ployed, and special instructions Ingo the station clerks • and that the s i gn al rules were printed, and in the hands Of the policemen. Ile should not think that a person who was only a supernumerary porter, as Willoughby was, was as responsible as a regular poster ; still it was the duty of the station clerk to give him proper instructions. Mr. Hudson was then recalled. Re said —Willoughby has been occasionally employed as a superior porter ever since I have been here ; he has been employed for fully three months, in consequence of the illness of Copier, a porter. He knows his general duties; he does know that he ought not to have put anything en the line unless the danger signal is showing, and that is the rule. I also endeavour to employ u supernumeraries penons who understand, but they are subordinate to the porters. I have every reason to speak well of Willoughby up to this time, and Mr. Wilson, who was clerk here before me, can give him a similar cha racter. There ore three poem at the station, and when these trucks were put on, the signal was that the line was clear. The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and the M jury, after some consultation , returned a verdict of " an slaughter " against both the prisoncrs.—Similar verdicts were given in the other came. the efforts of reformers threughout the country In obtaining a tvidue. tkm of the ealwartant expenditure of government, which we believe cannot be aoriempitsheil without • T eton. of the MAIM of Commune by the lenience cal house outfragv, vote by ballot, triesead parlia ments, and equal electoral dlati,cts. (Applause.) He thought they would agree that this was • senutelictihtinetly l arg e tt s r u es hj er ei d st to t take t in bend e a e n p ri ee d e isc he uss ee at the country, he thought the time was arrived when they must put • stop to the increasing amounts they were celled upon to pay in taxes. They had arrived as it were at the very acme of taxation. (Hear, hear.) The people were now used so much that they could scarcely bear it, end he thought it was the duty of every man who had a stoke in the country to come &tweed in or der to prevent tur ther taxation being added. They all knew the present state of the continent. It might be id that te diffeent states were standing wth barrels of I g sa un powder h round r them. One stray spark m i ght set the 1 continent in universal war. Should this happen, what part was England to take 3 Was she to put her head and arm into it ? Was she to tind m oney in order that ot her p eo p le g mih tight ? His own opiuion was that England should not do so t . Let o ther nations fight so much as they liked. amongst each other, but the people of this country could stud no farther expenditure for the wa rs of an y continental nation,. (Hear.) Ile also thought that if the toold le the of Englandliana did no t express this opinion strongly they by verbal treaty of 1721, he drawn into hostilities with Russia or Prussia, shout some small duchies called Holstein and Schletwig. If the English ople were foolish enough to go to war, in consequence of a pe foolish quarrel about them two paltry duchies, they would, no doubt, get into • war with the whole of the continent of Europe, and have another fifty or one hundred millions added to the debt of the country. With regard to the enormous expenditure of the country, he believed, at the present time, that the gross amotint of taxat i o n exceeded 60.000,0001. All they heard of its appropriation by the House of Commons, was as to tome 63,000,000 1 . or 84,000,0001.; but the remainder was not in ducted in the returns, as it went to pay the cost of collecting the teem He believed the expenditure for the financial year 1848 was set down by minister at from 53,000,0001. to 54,000,0001. He saw th at they were now paying 27,000,0004 as interest on the national debt, and the other 26,000,000 1 . went fur the expenses of the government of the country. Now, he would just show them that neither the whig party nor the tory party bad carried out what they hooo4.ad protease! —economy. (Hear.) In 183.5 they lead 27,000, as interest on the national debt, and the whole of the expen diture besides was 16,000.0001. It wss now increased by about 11,000,0001., or nearly one-third, and at any ra the go- te wits two-thirds more th an was ex p ended for carrying were to on vern , et of the country in lii3a. (Hear.) It they al go on increasing the expenditure at the rate of 11,000,0001. in thirteen years, there would soon be a na tional bankrupttillcy a nd nothing else. lie th ou g ht instead of going era the country was in that strait, it was their duty now to attempt to put a stop to it, and not onl y so, but to get a great reduction in the expenditure of t he country. (Hear.) Look at the army and navy. Mr. Cebden had been twitted about some remarks he made with respect to the inactivity of the fleet — ships lying uselessuseless at Malta and in the Tag. Lord Palmerstou come out and told the house, with respect to it, tat the blood of Douglas could protect itself. No doubt it c h ould, so to ng as the people ot the country were fouls enough to pay for it. (Hear.) Let them look at the ay. lie found, by reference to good euthority—parlism rm enta r y turns—that at the present moment hero Were 402 generalabso s receiving pay fr om this country, the gem rale lutely employed only amounted to thirty. Thirty out of 402! What did they want with the other 432 ? (Hear.) lie would appeal to their worthy chairman. Did he keep 432 over lookers, if he only wanted thirty to do the work ? (Cheers.) It struck him that the chairman acted rather differs:ally. if he only wanted thirty workmen, he did aot keep even thirty one. They bad 120 regiments, horse and lout, and how many colonels ? Why, the almost incredible number el 1,094. (Hear, and cries of shame.) Only 120 colon. Is were wa allowe d nted, and 97.:a were kept doing nothing. Woutd that if the country was honestly represei teal ? Cries of " no.")owed It was, indeed, preposterous; but as long as they *L the ancocraey to be almost their sole repreinntatives, was it at all likely there would be any reduction of the number of generals and colonels? (Hear.) He said there would not. but what were they to do ? Why, they must set about re forminhe Reform Dil ; and the Inoue i t was ne the better. g t If the question l was taken up and worked do out by the men of the late Anti• Corn-law League, he had no doubt it would soon be carried to the same successful issue as the agitation fur the repeal tithe corn-laws had been. Meer.) It only required that the people of Manchester should set the stone rolling, and it would roll on till what they wanted was obtained. If thee looked to the list of the 110 rs w lllO of . Cortlololo they would sec that one-half the membeere ' returned by the aristocracy themselves, whereas the member. ought to be the representatives of working men, of shop keeper, merchants, and manufacturers. Those were the men who outht to be in the House of Commons, and not an aria. tocrat ; no, cot one. (Applause.) Believing, es he did, that they cou.d not do away with this extravagant expenditure except by a reform of the House of Commons, the resolution be had proposed aimed at that reform. They required ents, to h ar e household suffrage, vote by bullet, triennial par liam and electoral districts. With respect to household suffrage, the population returns of 1841 allowed that there were in Great Britain and Ireland 6,782.000 males above 21 years of age, and the inhabited houses were 4.775,000. if they were enabled to obtain household suffrage, they would, allowing for all casualti' a and obstructions, have at least 3,000 w ,OOO voter in the United Kingdom. The present number as 940,000 only. Of course, much had Seen and about house hold suffrage, universal suffrage, the charter, dc. Now he was for universal su ffrage—(hear t hear)—but they had much to g o through before th ey could come to that. The people must be educated so u to be capable of using it pro perly. The people had to be educated to understand the question of the repeal of the corn laws, end they must now be educated for the use of universal suffrage. Ase at any este, household suffrage would be far enough to go. Some might be inclined to go further—(hear)—•ute not so far ; but he took it to be the best way to act so as to coat bine together as far as possible the cuddle and the working classes. lie thought the nece sity of household suffrage, at least, would hardly be questioned by any person. His own opinion was that an educational suffrage would be the beet I of any ; but that was a question which would take a long time to argue, as there was such a variety of opinions as to the kind of education which would suffice. The resolution was carried, alter which a series of rules were agreed to, and the Chairman, in conclusion, expressed '4 warm concurrence in the objects of the meeting. .. _ N orris. --- --_— 'Dia MIDDLESEX MEETISG.—The sheriffs of Mid dlirei have convened a public meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of the county, to he holden at ednesday Hall's Hid ing-school, Albany-street, Regent's-park, on W next, the 17th day of May for the purpose of taking into consid era tion the manife‘d ariewices of the people, the defective state of the constitution of the House of Commons, the oppressive inequality of taxation ; the wasteful expendi ture of the public money, and the best means of uniting all classes of reformers. ____.--------. IRELAND. Mt/BLitt. MAT 10. It is said by parties who ought to be well informed that, for the present at least, the repealers have de termined that the council of 300 shall not be called together. Whether this determination has been in duced by the recent proclamation of Lord Clarendon, 1 have not heard, but certain it is that the determi ' nation has the concurrence of the confederate, as well as of the " moral force" repealer!. So the " rational guard " of Tipperary will not do duty in and around the hall of the grand council, as had been held out to the garde mobile of the 'rallies of Lower Ormond.

EX OFFICIO PROCEEDINGS. JI'DGMENT ON 'DIE PLEA'S IN AItATEMENT. There was disiderable anxiety to hear the judgment of the curt on the pleas in sbaternent, tiled for this morning. At 11 o'clock the benches were crowded, and the Attorney- General appeared in the centre of • semicircle within the bar. The judges remained for a longer time than usual is chamber, no doubt through the laudable anxiety of ensuring an unanimous judgment. Immedistvly on the sitting of the court, John Mitchell was call , when having appeared, the Chief Justice proceeded to give judgment. Having stated the pleadings in the fleet information, he said, the first questio as, whether • plea oil indictment pending is a good plea in abatement to an lake , =mien tiled by the crown in the same mter ? In support of the affirmative prop!.aition no preceden at t, authority, manioc of judao or text writer as been cited, pointing directly: to the propositien contended (or by the traverser, while ca the other aide there it a great variety of cases to establith heyond all question the invalidity of the idea. Here his lord,bip cited number of caws from the old books—Coke, Hawkine Foster. He dwelt with pecu li ar force on the authority o f ' "King v. Stratton" (Douglas Rep.), and on a review of all pronounced the plea decidedly bad. But, independently of this vi ew of the case, support by so many authorities, he considered the entry of • Not. Pros. a suffi cient arawer to the plea. Lord Mansfield lest down this very decidedly . in "the King c. Stratton." objection to the demurrer filed by the crown, name namely, that in snbstance it was • pleas in bar, and preyed judgment of conviction in the premises instead of reaped eat ouster, the Chief Justice thought there was nothing in the objection. The court w ill give a propsr jdes, udg the cases cited ment whatever may be the prayer in the pleading. -Besi by traverser 's counsel, where there was discontinuan b e o n of the record, are all cues of ci vil actions. There cane continuance against theerown in pres ent e the regent, for the King is always supposed to be in court. In fact, the form of demurrer is found in both ways—prayer for thud judgment and to answer over ; and however informal the prayer may be, the court will give judgment on the whole record. On the demurrer then to the plea in *bodement, the chief justice held the crown entitled to judgment and the plea untenable. As to the second information, his lordship also pronoun oedjudgment for the crown , and nearly on the same authorities. The other judges having concurred without observation in the terse and Iwamoto judgment of the M itchell ,t -torney-Oeneral rose and milled on Mr. to plead over without delay. Mr. M. who occupied hie usual plate at the side hat, immediately stood up, and being 'eked for his plea by the clerk of the mown, in a firm voice replied Not speeial jury oa both informations wee then asked of the court, and granted, as of course.—The Attorney.Lie nersl, with the permission of the court, has changed the trials of Smith O'lleien and Meagher to Monday and Tuesday next. A trial on Saturday might interdict the jury . from sabbath oheervanoce, and prove otherwise inconvenient to the judge. Judgment in the came of the " Queen v. Sugden," which excites much interest in our courts, has been postponed until nest term. CLONING OY THE PETNII-NTIHINT SAVINON BANK.—AII event of very considerable importance has occurred to-day In our city. The sa vin g s bank in Peter-street has close d, and in consequence the excitement amongst the depositors is very great. In 1831 thero was a large deficiency in the fuade through the defalcations of an absconding officer, a ldr. Dunne. The trustees loid a statement of accounts be fors the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, who sent over a legal gentleman to investigate and de cide on the claims of the depositors Tho tenon, a however resolved to keep the bank open with the view (mak i n g good the deficiency out of the annual surplus whenever it should arise. So matters went on until the run of 1815, when 223,0001. weredrawn out by depositors. These large pay ments restored public confidence until the tut fUlth came upon the bank. The trustees presented drafts to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, which were ecru% .el payment, and the result has been the closing of the book this day. The trustees waited upon the Earl of Clarendon to so licit government relief, but his Excellency afforded no hope from that quarter, pointing to the dilapidated state of the Chancellor of the Exchequ• r's packet. Tomorrow there is likely to be a were run on the other savings banks in Dublin. WALES. A MURDER ST IRISH LA ISOUR ERN has been committed near Swansea. On Monday night William Davies he a cw rw bath (a drinking bout) in a small cottage adjoini ld ng the road, and within a few yank of the public house called the Marquis's Arms, kept by Devid, the on of Jinkin Evan about , one of the murdered m en. A company, consisting of 20 persons, remained in the cottage drinkieg until one o'clock. About hall-past twelve a party of Irish " navvies " entered the kouse. They remained there for about halt an hour, during which time they drank several pints of beer. They entered into conversation with J. Williams (deceased), and some other parties, saying that they had been discharged by one of the contractors at Lnighor. and were then in *vetch of work. It is said that Williams had p liuromised them work, and asked th em to visit the part of thee where his contract lay next morning. 5401.1 afterwards it ap,imired that some words, arising probably from the feeling of jealousy and antipathy existing between the Irish mid Welsh, ensued between one of the " navvies" and a man named Edward bi[rgan, who was eventually knocked down. One or two other men, who interfered on behalf of Morgan, received blow* about the head from spades and other weapons which the Irishmen carried with t hem. This * collie then appears to have concluded, and the " navvies" lett the house ; some say they were turned out ; others that they went voluntarily, and apparently with the intention of [ inducing the others to follow them. A considerable number [ of those who were in the house, incluuing John Williams (deceased), seem to bare gone out at the same time, but the majority immediately returned to the house, leaving behind [ them John Williams and one or two other person s to—it have was [ n ot quite clear how many—for all the party app ear been intoxicated. Soon afterwards a loud cry of " Murder" was beard. the people rushing from the bowie, J. Williams and Jenkin Evan were found lying on the road bleb ss, while one of the "nannies" war observed to strike Evans's body with a spade. The murderers than made off towards Swan sea ; one or two of the other men made faint efforts to pur sue them, but with no effect. It should he stated that the unfortunate man, Jenkin Evan, had not been at clubshe eserrw bach at all. It appeared that, having left his at Castle, he visited the Marquis's Arms, 11. pt by his son, where he remained while ore or more of his family visited this gather- Mg. In • short time he proceeded towards the cottage he en with the view of a sking them to come home, when, before tered, he met the lruhrnen who murdered him. Although a considerable time elapsed before the police visited the spot, yet 'eery exertion has since been made (but as yet un successfully) to trace out the murderers, whose nature are said to be I'. and T.

About ate. n o'clock of the same day he came into the shop, and asked witness if he could cash him a cheque, es he was short at cash, and b an king hours were past.

A meeting of the burgesses of St. Cle m nt's wdnes ard, Manchester, was held in the Temperance Hll on We day evening, fur the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of forming en association for that ward, to obtain a betnd more perfect re presentation in the Commons house of ter a parliament, and a mo re equal distribution of the taxation of the country, and a rtduction of the expenditure thereof. At debt o'clock the room was filled, although only burgesses belonging to the ward were admitted. Mr. Alderman NIRLD presided, and said he believed the Reform Bill was admitted by mo.t candid persons to be de fective in its present form. (lieu.) At the ti ro be was pared it was a great step towards political freedom, but It was not to be expected that human institutions were to be made perfect at one step or at two. It was only by trial and by thought areiety could pregress, and he hoped it would continue to progress. A notion coined in the !minds of many persona that it was by calling hard names and using violent language that a cause progressed ; but he believed in the contrary. Ile be lieved that the more reasonable our discussion the more we shalt progress. Whatever conclusion they might arrive at en this importent question, he would recommend them to pursue it calmly and by reasoning with each other. It was one of the characteristics of Englishmen that they r edress their grievances by reason, and not by force, and a moral tqlgteph was the greatest triumph of all. (Rear.)
