THE SECRETARY OF THE PCOIL-LAW BOARD ON THE FARNHAM INQUIRT.—At the annual dinner of the North-east Hants Agricultural Association, held at Alton es Monday evening, Mr. G. Selater-Routh, M.P., thus referred to the Farnham workhouse inquiry in response to the toast of the members for the northern division of Hampshire :—Dr. Fell had alluded to his connection with the Poor-law Hoard, and bad be not done so be could scarcely in addressing them in that town have forborne to allude to the circumstances which had been the subject of discussion respecting the neighbouring union of Farn ham. Many of thole present, he dared say, either were or had been guardians of the poor, and seeing that their turn might possibly come next—for if an inquiry began at one place it might be carried on to another—they would pro bably view the Lancet commissioner's inquiry with mixed feelings. He had no wish to my a syllable in the shape of peening an opinion as to what might be the condition of the workhouse at Farnham or of similar establishments elsewhere ; but he asked them to remember that the con dition of workhouses generally was a subject that was receiving more and more attention at the hands of the public, and that that feeling they must expect to see in crease. Wo-khousee, as they were aware, were built ori ginally for the reception of the able-bodied poor, hut now they had become hospitals for the reception of the sick, aged, and imbecile of their localities ; and be thought there could be no doubt that public opinion would require that the appliances, comforts, and attendance upon those sick, aged, and infirm people should be more in accordance with melern notions than was intended or expected 30 or 40 Tears ago. This was a subject which he could assure them Was constantly and anxiously under the csnsitieration of theTreeident of the Poomlaw Hoard, the Earl of Devon, and bewould not fail to keep his mind directed to that subject. On the other hand, they must all, he thought, have a fellow feeling for those gentlemen who, at a very great sacrifice of time and trouble, at the request of their neigh bours and felluw-ratepayere, undertake the onerous, and, As it ;turns out, thankless office of guardians of the poor. Leery consideration ought to be given to theta in the dis charge of their difficult duties—a consideration which, he was sorry to say, they sometimes did not seem to receive. A LUNATIC IN CHCRCH.—DiViRe service at the Leeds parish church was interrupted on Sunday morning by a man named Eastwood, a labourer, living in Worsted street. He interposed at the commencement of the service hi a loud voice by declaring that he considered Ireland was an oppressed nation ; that he was sent, like David to the Israelites, to deliver them from the Philistines ; and that he could take the field with 900 men against Major Robinson's (on officer in the Leeds Rifle Corps) 1,000. He was immediately removed from the church, and given into custody. He was yesterday morning brought up before the magistrates, and as it was then stated that be was suf fering from insanity, he was handed over to the Poor-law authorities. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

Sevtrrl papers assert that despatches have been received here from the Spanish Minister at Florence, announcing that the Italian squadron had received orders to fire into any Spanish vessel anch.,red at Civita Vecchia which, on any pretext whatever, should attempt to land troops. This news, it is stated. greatly excited the indig nation of Queen Isabella, who expressed a wish that the Spanish Minister in the Italian capital should immediately demand his passports. Nothing, however, has yet been decided, and the rumour itself is in no way authenticated. DEATH OF MARSHAL O'DONNELL. MADRID, Nov. 6, Evizncc. Marshal O'Donnell died yesterday evening.

Dr-Pits-wow IN THE IRON Tsang.—On Tuesday about 500 men were paid off at the Darlington Iron Com pany's Works, belonging to Mr. Barningham. About a fortnight ago notices were posted at the works intimating that the greater portion of the works, which consist chiefly of rolling mills, would be stopped in a fortnight, and on Saturday the greater part of the fires were put out, and • largo number of rollers, paddlers, and hammennen l e ft, b e i ng i n f orme d they would be lurid the week's wages, which is always held back, yes terday. In the meantime, it wee hoped that something might be done to ,get Mr. Barningbam to start the works, and deputationeof the men have waited upon him for the purpose of learning his views. The reason he gives for stopping the works, which have been very busy all the summer with a heavy Russian order, but which is now completed, was that he had no trade, and could not ob tain an order at a price that would be remunerative whilst paying the present wages. He is stated to have asserted that it was his belief that he could keep the mills going during the winter if a reduction in the rate of wages were made- that this would enable him to take orders which were in the market. This redaction is variously stated at from 10 to 25 per cent. Mr. Barningham is understood to have offered to rollers 10a, per day, hammermen Bs. lid., and peddlers fie. These amounts have been refused by the men, although it is believed they would not object to some small reduction. Whether any arrangement will be made is at present uncertain. The trade throughout the Cleveland district is stated to be bad, one or two of the works being already laid off, and some of the others either working or expecting to be put on short time.— ! re Ch reside. - THE ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR DISRAERB or TEM CHE4T, CITT-ROAD.—The number of patients under treat ment at the hospital during the past we.,lt amounted to 867, of which 71 were new cues.

It is a sad fact, says the A emir, that France, a nation which recognises many forms of worship on a footing of perfect equality, finds a subject of unceasing trouble in one form of worship alone—viz., the catholic religion. The catholic religion practically requires the yearly sacrifice of a large amount of French blood and French trea sure. Mexico, Rome, Syria, Cochin China, Corea, bear witness to this distressing proposition. The Muniteur du revising its own official figures, says that the battle of November 3, begun at Montana and continued at Monte Rotondo, was " very serious ;" that 10,000 Garibaldians (not 7,000, as previously stated) took part in the action, that the number of Garibaldiana killed and wounded was 500, that the number of prisoners was 1,600, and that five guns and from 5,000 to 6,000 muskets were taken. bL Duruy, the Minister of Public Instruction, when lately on a tour of inspection in the pro vinces, naked a village schoolboy to mention to him some of the principal events of the reign for which France ought to grateful to the Emperor Napoleon. The boy anii‘red, without hesitation, The Mexican expedition and the Credit Mobilier." The minister looked daggers, but said nothing, and speedily left the school. As soon as he was gone the schoolmaster gave the boy a caning. The story reads too good to be true, but it is true nevertheless, because I take it from the report of a judicial proceeding. The boy's father summoned the schoolmaster before a commissary of police for an assault on his sun, and in the course of the hearing of the case it came out that in M. Duruy's modern history of France, published for the use of schools, the Mexican expedition and the creation of tip Credit Ilobilier are mentioned among the great acts of the reign. It was quite innocently that the boy happened to select these two singu_ larly infelicitous examples which had chanced to dwell in his memory. Marshall O'Donnell, the great rival of Narvaez, died last night at Biarritz, where he had been residing for some months. The complete triumph of French policy in Italy produced a decided effect on the Bourse to-day.

THE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, Nov. 6. The trial of John Martin, John Francis Nugent, Patrick Coffey, John Bacon, John Brennan, and Timothy Featherston was resumed this morning at nine o'clock, before Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Mellor. There was, as usual, a great number of people waiting at the entrance of the Assize Courts, which were filled almost immediately. The ladies' gallery, which hitherto has been occupied solely by apparatus necessary in case of fire till late each day, was this morning thrown open before the commencement of business, mid was occupied generally by persons whose appearance indicated that they belonged to respectable positions in life. There were not more than half a dozen females in court, and it has bees remarkable during these trials how few ladies have presented them selves for admission. On the other hand, so great has been the interest of the other sex, that people have endured cold, wet, and all forms of inclement weather day after day from morning till evening awaiting an opportunity of gaining admission. A dense November fog prevailed for sonic time, and the gas and other lights were necessary at the opening of the court. The leading counsel for the defence, Mr. Digby Seymour, 44. C., was not present at the opening of the court. The Attorney-General was heard in reply, and Mr. Jus tice Mellor summed up the case to the jury. Mr. Seymour, in reference to the future conduct of the ease, said he felt it to be his duty to state what he be hoved would be for the interests of bin clients. questions had been put during the trials by both their lordships to which he (Mr. Seymour) attached great value, and he trusted that while there was still an indictment for murder hanging over the prisoners, they would have the benefit of the presence of both their lord ships.--Serjeant O'Brien most sincerely and earnestly joined in this entreaty.—Mr. Justice Blackburn replied the public business in London really required the pre sence of one of them, and it was nut absolutely necessary that both of them should be present in this case.—Mr. Justice Mellor added that they never contemplated that both should sit together excepting in the first case. They thought it possible that certain points of law might arise in the first trial which might render it important that both judges should be present ; but these points of law having been once heard, and the case having taken its present shape, it was quite unnecessary that they should sit together. Mr. Justice Blackburn was understood to say that Le would remain to try the succeeding cases, and that Mr. Justice Mellor would return to London.—Mr. Seymour hoped that what he had maid would not be misunderstood, and he bowed cheerfully to this decision. —Mr. Justice Blackburn said that whichever case it was decided to go on with, they would have the challenges taken in half an hour from that time, and the jurymen now in waiting would then have to be present. The jury were absent four hours, and then sent to in quire of the judge whether, if the prisoners were acquitted for murder, they could be tried on the other indictments for felony and misdemeanour. Ultimately they came into court soon after five o'clock with a verdict of AcTrittal for the whole of the prisoners. The court was exceedingly crowded. When the court re-assembled only one judge, Mr. Justice Blackburn, wu on the bench. . _ LORD MAYOR'S DAY —A notification was issued yesteniay morning from the Swordbearers'-offios, Mansion. house, in reference to the procession on Lord Mayor's Day. It is announced that the 'procession will not leave Guild ; hall till two o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, instead of eleven, as formerly. COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —An alarming accident, involving serious injurj to several persons, happened on Tuesday evening on the Great Northern Railway, near the Welwyn junction, where the Hertford line branches off. It appears that shortly before five o'clock a goods train had " brought up " in order to detach or take on some trucks, and through some inad vertence the goods engine and part of the train of waggons were being shunted across the road on to the down line of rails just as the Cambridge train, which had left King's cross terminus at tea minutes to four, was approaching. ' , The distance between the two engines was not su ffi cient to enable the drivers to prevent a collision, and the engines came together with a terrific force. The shock is described Ito have been something fearful. Both engines were thrown across the road, blocking the traffic, and tLe three carriages of the passenger train nearest to the ' tender were much shattered. There were, we are informed, fortunately but comparatively few passengers in the train. The con.pany only report five to have been injured. In the third carriage, a first class, a Captain Ferguson met with a fearful injury, having both his legs fractured. It is stated that the next carnage was so jammed into the first elms by the force of the collision that it was some time before he could be extricated. The escape of the engine -drivers seems somewhat marvellous, but one of them it is believed hes sustained a fractured collar-bone. The guards took the most prompt means to stop all approaching trains, and then to remove the injured pas sengers and obtain medical aid. The officials were soon in attendance with a large number of labourers to clear the line, but it was same hours before the obstruction Gould be removed, and the trains were necessarily much delayed. Captain Ferguson was removed to Hatfield, where he lies in a very precarions state. It is stated that the unfortunate gentleman was about to start for India. The following prisoners, forming the third batch, were then placed in the dock charged with murder:—Thomas Sadly. aged 22; Michael Joseph Boylan, 37 ; Henry Wilson, 27 ; Michael ki'Guare, 32 ; and William Murphy, 25. Mr. Seymour said counsel would give no trouble with challenges. ♦ jury was then drawn, and having been sworn, Mr. Justice Blackburn was about to discharge the other jurymen till Friday, when Mr. Seymour said this would be a short case. and would probably not occupy so much time as the previous trials. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that being probable, the jurors not empanelled bad leave of absence only till two o'clock to-morrow. The Attorney.Geneml then proceeded to open the case, much in the same terms as he had introduced the previous ones so far as the main facts were concerned. He stated that it was not him intention to offer evidence against four of the prisoners (Seally, Boylan, M'Guire, and Blur: Thy) upon this indictment. Mr. Seymour, at this stage of the trial, said he wished to call the attention of his lordship, in connexion with the 5001. reward promised on conviction to the ples. Mr. Justice Blackburn wished to know what plea? Mr. Seymour said, supposing A was tried for the murder of B, and was found guilty and executed, and that after. wards C was apprehended, could C be tried for a murder which another man bad alrewdy suffered death for Mr. Justice Blackburn—No doubt. Supposing two men committed a murder, and we was caught and hanged, could it be pretended that the second murderer, if taken, could not be brought to justice? Mr. Seymour was proceeding, when His lordship peremptorily stopped him, saying it was absurd to raise such a point. Mr. Justice Blackburn, under these circumstances, ordered their removal to the back of the dock. --- ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—The Xnraosde Chronicle of yesterday says— " A good deal of excitement was created at the Central Station, Newcastle, this m o rning, b the non-arrival of the night train from London, due in t his town at 12.35 Len. The cause of detention, it appears, had occurred at or near Peterborough, on the Great Northern line, but as to the nature or extent of the accident no information has tran spired. The passengers who had booked by the late train would, it was expected, avail themselves of the train reach. ing Newcastle about five o'clock this morning." COMMITTAL OF THE EN-CHAMPION Or ENGLAND. —At the Nottingham Police-court, yesterday, William Thompson alias ilendigo, the ex-champion of Eugland, was taken before the sitting magistrates on the charge of indecent conduct, and also with assaulting the police. Inspector Chamberlin said about noon on the previous day he saw the prisoner, who was very drunk, indecently exposing his person in Clifton-street. He at once proceeded to take him into custody, but the ex-chauipiou violently resisted, and the assistance of several other officers had to be obtained. He was at length overpowered and taken to the police station. On his way there he kicked Police. Constable Hopewell with considerable violence, and on reaching the station he bit a piece out of the officer's coat sleeve. In answer to the charge prisoner said be was very sorry for what he had done. He was in liquor, or he should not have committed the offence. He would much rather help the police thando anything against theta. The bench convicted him in a penalty of 40s. or 14 days' iniprisonment with hard labour. The money was not forthcoming, and the prisoner was locked up. THE LATE SHIPPING DISASTEIL'4 OFF THE WELSH Coast'.—lnformation wan received at the Liverpool Under writers' Rooms yesterday to the effect that the ship Moun taineer, from Harbor Grace to Liverpool, which went ashore during the heavy storm last week at Rhosneeger, had at last been floated, and had been towed into Holy head. The whole of the cargo has been saved, and will be sent on to Liverpool. The cargo of the Triumph, wrecked near Holyhead, has also been saved. Only part of that, however, on board the Earl of Chester, wrecked at Rhos neeger, has been recovered, owing to the rough state of the weather, soil the impossibility of bringing carte near the scene of the disaster. THE OAKS COLLIERY EXPLOHION.—BARNSLET, WEDNISDAY.—The result, of the explosion which took place on Tuesday evening were not so serious as were first entertained, but the effect will be to atop the opera tion of clearing the workings for some time. To-day there was a meeting of mining engineers at the colliery, and amongst those present were Mr. Woodhouse, Mr. Hedley (late government inspector), Mr. Potter, Mr. T. Dymond, Mr. Hammett, Mr. Beaumont, and others. From n close examination made it appears that the explosion was not immediately caused by the fire at the bottom, but owing in a great measure to the large quantity of gas coming up the No. 1 shaft. It appears that the men on Tuesday were engaged in taking off the spoil from the top of the scaffolding down the No. 2 shaft, but finding that the pipe for letting the gas escape at times became an upc.sst, they had to leave off work. The men were then set to make the No. I shaft. The upcaat was to relieved the other, in which they were in a great measure successful. The gas then came up the No. 1 in very large quantities, and backed into a draft in the shaft leading to the flues connected with the boilers, which are some six or seven yards from the top of the shaft, The effect of the first explosion was that the flames ascended to the top of the head gearing, whilst the chain at the bottom was very much injured by the burning bratticing falling on to it. The bratticing was soon set on fire, and to put it out a considerable quantity of water had to be poured down the shaft. Whether any of the stopping. have been blown out, orthere is any quan tity of standing fire at the bottom, no one win say. Still the effect of the fire on Tuesday will be that the operation for clearing the workings and the No. 2 shaft—and indeed all work—will be suspended for some time. .- LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY (LIMITBO). —Traffic receipts week ending Nov. 3,10,1071. 13s. 7d. [STAMPED. ht. ADDITIONAL.) LORD DERUI' AND THE. oRA.NOEML'A". The following is the reply of the Earl of Derby to the memorial presented to his lordship by the Imperial Grand Council of Loyal Orangemen of the Empire, which met in London ou the 17th of July last. The reply is addressed to Lord Enniskillen, G.M. : Knowsley, Oct. 11, 18157. My Lord,--There was transmitted to me some time ago, by your lordship's desire. a copy of a memorial, which I had unfortunate') mislaid in London, f row a body styling itself " The Imperial Grand Council of the Loyal Orange Order." The long and severe illness from which I have since been suffering, and from which I am only now slowly recovering, will, I hope, be accepted as an apology for my not havinc sent an earlier answer. The memorialists apply for a repeal of the Party Processions Act ; and Mauls. port of this application they appeal to the " ready loyalty which has always distinguished" the Orangemen as abody; and to the experience of Canada, where it has been found possible to repeal a similar enactment ; and, finally, they complain that, practically, a one-sided operat;on has been given to the act, whereby its provisions have been brought to bear upon the Orange processions alone. I do not for a moment dispute the loyalty of the Orange Association ; and I am convinced that, in case of emer gency, they would rally as the man around the throne and the institutions of the country ' • but the most fervent loyalty to the crown, end the mos t devoted attachment to their religion, ere not inconsistent with an abstinence from all demonstrations as may, justly or unjustly, wound the susseptibilittes of those who differ: from them in poli tics or religious creed. I may go further, and say that genuine loyalty includes a conscientious obedience to the laws of the country, whatever they may be. I readily admit that the Party Processions Act is one of an exceptional character • but, unhappily, religious and political animosity in Ireland is so virulent and so excitable, each party biro ready to seek for occa sions of giving and taking offence, that an exceptional amount el supervision is requital on the part of the government for the prevention of demonstrations which threaten the disturbance of the public peace and too often lead to bloodshed. Nor do I see what justification can be found for the repeal of the act, so loag as the in fluence, however sincerely exercised, of the leaders of parties is insnflicient to prevent their followers from engaging, in defience of the law, in those very acts which it is its object to prevent, and to which its repeal would give fresh ercouragemeut. On the other hand, as long as the law remains ou the statute book, its the earnest wish and determination of her Majesty's government that it shall be equally and fairly applied ; and I think that the course hitherto pursued by the Irish executive may give satisfactory maul once that, under the present lord lieu tenant, it will be firmly, temperately, and, above all, impartially administered..—l have the honour to be your lordship's obedient servant, DERBY. To the Earl of Enniskillen. THE BISHOP OP WINCHESTER AND "AN AGGRIEVED PARISHIONER." Yesterday the Bishop of Winchester hold a visitation of the clergy and laity of the parishes on the Surrey side of the Thames, at the parish church of St. Saviour's, Southwark. There were present among others the Rev. J. F. Langham, M.A., rector of Lambeth ; the Rev. J. Bowstead. rector of St. Olave, Southwark ; the Rev. J. Wallis, M.A., minister of Stockwell-chapel ; the Rev. J. Williams, M.A., vicar of Camberwell ; the Rev. Dr. Carver, bead master of Dulwich.college ; the Rev. H. R. Lloyd, KA., incumbent of St. Mark's, Kennington ; the Rev. J. A. Johnstone, Y.A. incumbent of St. John's, Waterloo-road ; the Rev. Dr. Allen, rector of St. George's, Southwark ; the Rev. W. H. Berke, ILA., rector of Mickleham ; the Rev. G. F. Galaher, M.A., incumbent of St. Mark's, Horselydown ; the Rev. N. A. Garland, M.A., vicar of Brixton ; the Rev. R. D. Brown, M.A., incumbent of St. James's, Bermondsey ; the Rev.' J. T.'Jenkinaon, M.A., vicar of Battersea ; the Rev. R. Gregory, M.A., in cumbent of St. Mary-the-Less, Lambeth ; the Rev. H. Thompson, M.A., incumbent of St. Michael's, Stock well ; the Rev. E. J. Beck, M.A., rector of Bother. hithe ; the Rev. T. H. Tarlton, rector of St. John's, Horaelydown ; the Rev. Messrs. Wyche, M'Anally, Urea, Eastman, Caftin, Aubrey, Price, Garden, Morris, Tugwell, lac. After service in the church the bishop and clergy retired to the Lady Chapel, where the names of the clergy were called, but in so indistinct a tone that many of the rev. gentlemen missed the appeal to them to answer, and will be inserted in the bishop's record as not having re sponded to the episcopal command, whereas they had been present during the whole of the morning. On the name of the Bev. William Curling, M.A., chaplain of St. Saviour's, Southwark, being called, Mr. Thomas Colin, of 4d, Borough, and 5, Aberdeen-terrace, Blackheath, rose is the body of the meeting, and said that before that name was passed be had to request the bishop, with the greatest respect and deference, to receive the presentment of an ag grieved parishioner, a term which had now become tolerably well known in consequence of its having been used in the report of the royal commissioners on ritualism. He had banded in the presentment to his lordship's chancellor, and he requested that it might be read in the presence of the assembled clergy and laity. The Bishop of Winchester said it would not be in order to read the presentment at that time. Mr. Collis said he was advised on high autho rity that it was competent for him to ask that the docu ment should be then read. The Bishop of Winchester said the law required that the presentment should be given to the commissary or the chancellor of the diocese in open court. That course had been taken, and the present was not the time for reading it again. Me Collis said be should bow with submission to his lordship's ruling, but under protest. Perhaps his lordship would allow bins to say one word on the subject. The Bishop of Winchester (rising from his seat within the altar rails)—No ; because it interrupts the order of these proceedinga. Mr. Collis— Then his lordship did not with that an aggrieved parishioner might be heard on the one side, while he was freely beard' on the other. The bishop said he was willing to heir everything at the proper time. The presentment of Mr. Collis (who it appears is a munificent contributor to church work of various kinds, and who carries on the business of a hop merchant in the parish of St. Saviour, Southwark) complained that the Rev. William Curling, M.A., who had been thirty yearn chaplain, had not resided in the parish ; that daily morning and evening prayer was not " amid throughout the year," es prescribed by the Book of Common Prayer ; that unauthorised vest ments (the black gown, were used in the parish church ; that services were said at the holy table un authorised by the Rook of Common Prayer ; that holy baptism was not administered at the font, bat that a metal basin placed upon the holy table was used for that pur pose ; that public meetings were held in the church, at which not only laymen but dissenting preachers spoke. Mr. Celle., after enumerating some other irregularities, prayed that has lordship would take formal and official ' notice of them. The Bishop of Winchester then proceeded to the delivery of his charge. He said that, look ing around the diocese and analysing its records, he found that 21 incumbents only, out of its 400 cures in Hampshire, and no more than three in the 2:10 churches of Surrey, now occupied the posts of duty to which they were admitted by his predecessor in the see ; all the stalls in the cathedral bad been successively vacated, and the present members of the capitulai body were successors to the men who welcomed him ou his first entrance in the see as its bishop. His lordship con demned the ritualiotio practices, defended the Pan-Angli can Synod, strongly recommender! the offertory system (particularly recommending that the parishioners should be informed how much was collected, and bow it was expended), and gave suite interesting information in re ference to the state of education in the diocese, concluding with an earnest prayer that grace might descend upon them all. INDIAN TRAMWAY COMPANY.— Yesterday a depu tation from the Indian Tramway Company (Limited) waited on the Right Hon. Sir Stafford Northeote, Secre tary of State for India, upon the state and position of the company and the extension of their line in India to Pon dicherry. The deputation consisted of Sir Macdonald Stephenson, chairman; Mr. Norton, deputy chairman; General Alexander, C.R., General Green, Mr. Brackett, Mr. Kimber, directors; Sir Charles Fox, engineer of the company ; Mr. Alexander Mackenzie, of the firm of Messrs. Arbuthnot and Co., agents in Madras, and Mr. M. R. Scott, secretary of the company. ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.— An accident, fortunately unattended by any fatal results, occurred _yesterday morning on the North London Railway between Dalaton and Hackney. The 8.5 train from Broad street to Poplar left Dalaton to time, but on arriving about midway between that station and Hackney suddenly came to a stand, in consequence of the coupling rod which connects the wheels of the engine having given say. This happening whilst the train wan in motion neces sarily disarranged other portions of the machinery and rendered it impossible for it to proceed upon its journey without assistance. A ballast engine was soon procured from Delano, and attached to the rear of the disabled train, which it pushed slowly towards Row, the brtaksman being sent down the line to prevent anything passing. Considerable delay was of course occasioned by this, and in the meantime the 24.2 U train from Rroad-street had arrived at Dalston. The signalman it appears gave " line clear" to Hackney before be should have done, and the 8.20 train left the station as usual, and ran into the disabled train, damaging to argue extent both the engines. The passengers were considerably shaken and frightened, hut beyond that we believe they sustained no injury. The driver of the 8.20 engine, seeing that a collision was inevitable, jumped from his engine, by which his kg was broken. The fault, it appears, rests between the breaks man who was despatched to protect the ballast engine and the signalman who signalled " line clear." Both trains were driven on to Bow immediately after the colli sion, and the delay occasioned to the passengers of the 5.5 train was not more than twenty minutes. [TWOPENCE SIR RGUNDELL PALMER ON LEGAL EDUCATION. The fourth inauguration meeting of the members of the Articled Clerks Society was held yesterday evenit g in the great hall, King's College, Strand. Sir It. leteeen, Q.C., M.P., presided, and on taking the chair, delivered an address, in the course of which he said it was with great pleasure that he complied with the invi tation addressed to him by the Fucitty, that be would endeavour to advance the cause of legal education by delivering an address containing such advice as his ex perience might suggest. In the first place, he invited them to go back to the consideration of the position and the duties for which they were preparing themselves at this season of their lives. Everything must be made re levant to the qualifications and the means of obtaining them, and the right view of those qualifications and those duties would at once direct their studies, enlarge and ele vate their purposes and their motives, and at the same time prepare them for all those prospects which no man could foresee. What then was their position, and what were their duties e They all belonged, or were pre paring themselves to belong, to one great profes sion, one and indivisible in all its branches and departments, every one of theta essentially connected with and dependent upon the other. The departments of the profession were four in number, and eerily one of them was essential to the very existence of society, and under no conceivable circumstances could the office and function which they filled be dispensed with. The first and highest was the judicial department. The second de partment was that of advocacy, which in this country was generally, but not universally, filled by the bar. The third was the department of conveyancing ; and the fourth department was that of practising attorneys and solicitors. The articled clerks, as their very name indicated, were preparing themselves for the fourth of these departments. Al.' had their different parts 111 a common duty, that common duty being the administration of justice and the application of law to the wants and necessities of society. In days of transition like these, it was worth while to dwell upon the office of each in reference to the position of the other. The judge was, speaking generally. taken from the profession of the bur. But had not the judge to trust to the assistance, the integrity, and honour of the attorneys and solicitors, as well as of the barristers! Could he well dis charge his duties if he did not Naomi that confidence ! It could not be. There were positions open to attorneys which introduced them to places of a judicial though of a subordinate character. The attorney might become chief clerk of the judge in Chancery, or mutter of one of the courts of law, and advising clerk to magistrates, discharging the moat important duty of ad ministering both criminal and civil justice. Therefore that training was necessary which, when a man was called to these duties, would make him not unequal to the task. To pass from the judge to the barrister, the position of the barrister would stand or fall in this country according to its intrinsic merits. But he saw some important advantages which were gained by keeping up the distinction between those two branches of the profession. It existed in France and in many other countries with the sane public benetita as here. but not at all events with the same conditions and circum staoces in the United States and in some of our colonies. He would not for a moment, certainly not upon any ground of e. if Jr a.rps, or upon any sentimental ground, maintain a distinction of that kind if it produced a mono poly unsuited to the wants and requirements of the country. If local jurisdictions and summary procedure were extended throughout the country, in the changes that might take place attorneys and solicitors might be called upon still further to discharge theduties of advo cates, and he had no doubt they would discharge them well And what he would impress upon them was, that they should endeavour to discharge that duty in the same spirit in which it had been ordinarily discharged by the bar of England—with the same independence, with the same sense of duty, with the same self-respect, with the same reepect for the judge, and the same regard fur the sub stance of justice. In all their preparations let them re member that this was a part, and an increasing part, of the duty which the attorneys and solicitors throughout the country had now to prepare themselves for, and that it was of essential importance that it should be done well, and that the preparations for it should be substantial. He sow came to speak of the separate duties of attorneys and solicitors themselves. The bar stood be tween the people and the judge, but the attorney was in direct contact with the people, and brought the law home to the people. He was the people's lawyer, and his law was in the main the people's law. It wee manifest that nothing could be more important than such a calling. The attorney became the confidential adviser, the negotiator in all matters of business, for every class of society which had legal business to do. Attorneys had great opportunities for good or for evil. It was not too much to say that they had a large part of the property of the country in their hands and under their management, and they had not only the property, but the secrets of families in their hands. They were as much trusted, and trust in them was as needful as in the clergyman or the physician. Of course their influence, both in public en .l private affair, was proportionidly great. Wilat, then, was their duty? To give sound law to the people ; to be killed in business, capable of giving good advice. But, above all, it was their duty cot to make a trade of law ; not to create or foment differences and disagreements between man and man, but to reconcile and soften them whenever they could. The opportunities to do this were infinite, and he believed that day after day they were all over the country conscientiously used. There were teary occasions on which it was not a man's duty to take advantage of the law. The attorney should know those occasions. It was his business to exercise a sound judgment, and not to con fine himself to the mere technical view of legal rights or legal obligations. Then with regard to the qualifications necessary for tee prosecution of the study of the law. These were of primary importanoe. They were of two kinds—moral and mtellectusl. The mural qualifi cations of which he smoke were these : first, there must be • right conception of duty, • duty which was in its degree somewhat correspon dent to that of a minister of justice. The man who would make a good lawyer should have • love of justice, should love what is right and hate what is wrong. Con nected with that was the love sod practise of truth end honour. Besides these there were other qualities, though of a lower rank, without which nu lawyer could get on — patience, firmness, temper, tact, and courtesy ; in fact, he might my all the qualifications of a eenticinen. What were the intellectual qualifications necessary! They wanted logical accuracy, order, 'netted. system, power of aniuigenient. What was further wankel was the power of intellectual impartiality, the power of seeing what there was un both sides of • case, • power infinitely valuable to all who had to advise about or to conduct fit**. tion. They wanted quickness of apprehension, quickness of combination. They wanted a thorough command of words, to know what they meant so as to be able to use them with exactness. Law was not a subject which would admit of loose talk. He would now address a few words to them which were specially applicable to them as • class. Their professional studies were to be divided laic those which were sjwcial, having relation Maier immediate leeal duties, for which they attended certain lectures and went through a certain course of examination ; and, secondly, general studies , _ with a view of acquiring knowledge for its own sake. He warned them against too much " mem " against obtaining a meresmattering of knowledge to meet a number of questions without understanding any of them. He set no value on that kind of knowledge whkli came in at the eye and weld out by the ear as soon as the exami nation was over. He advised them to read the best books on the carious breeches of law —reel Property law, testamentary law , and mercantile law. He also adviseei them to read carefully Hallam's " Constitutional History of England," Reeves's " History of the Sta tute Law, " Coke's "Second and Third Institutes." These were books well worthy of the attention of any one who wished to become acquainted with the history of the law of this country. General mental improvement, general information, everything that was compohended in a round system of general education was of direct and essential importance to the lawyer. He was glad to find that this society cultivated the art of public speaking, and that it held discussions on various legal euhjects. There could be no better method than this of practising early and obtain ing those quelitiration* by which they hoped to succeed in later life. If he Welt be peimitted to re'er to his Oxford experiences, he might state that during the four years that be was an undergraduate at Oxford, be found the advantage of the taercise of public bpi:eking in a de bating society, and in the one with which he was con neetod he bad the pleasure of beiag associated with young men who had since risen to greateminesice. Amongst them were Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Sidney Herbert. sifter wards Lord Herbert, Lord Dalhoueie, Lord Canning, Lord Elgin, the Duke of Newcastle, 31r. Cardwell, Mr. Lowe, the present Bishop of London, and Archbishop Manning. In the education of it lawyer no kind of know ledge was thrown away, and the knowledge of men and their effeint was as essential ton lee) era education as • any other branch of knowledge. In fact no kind of know. ledge came amiss to a lawyer. At the °occlusion of his aside's', which was listened to throughout with great attesition, and mirages of which were nheered, the hon. and learned gentleman presented the Davis Prim, which consisted of • complete copy of Lord Ilacaulay's works, to Mr. George Lewis. Afterwards • discussion took place on the following subject:—" That to render the rose= ' Ignorance of the law exceseth no man' just in its operation, the law should be materially simplified by codification or otherwise, and greater publi city should be given to legislative alterations."
