VIE dependent Liberals, Mr. Disarms *spacious drag net has already landed one—the Member for Sunderland to wit ; the famous Financial Re former who a few nights ago was demanding the expenditure of four or five millions on a little hobby of his own ; the consistent Reformer who was voting for Lord DeasY's Government with all his might when that cheap, pacific, and prudent Administration was levying ten thousand seamen by Order in Council, and making " moral " de monstrations against France and Italy more em phatic even than Lord MAxmansusr's prose. bt Court. WHATEVER the biographers may say to the con trary, Lord Paumssarom is still the youngest member of the House of Commons. We appeal to every one who saw as well as heard that reply to Mr. Dims= on Thursday night. What other man could have risen an hour before midnight to deliver one of the happiest and most telling replies to one of the most elaborate and insidious attacks, in a tone, and with an air and gesture, resonant with vigour, and sparkling with freshness t Where is the secret of this inexhaustible vitality which seems to renew itself, not in ease and quiet, but in the incessant wear and tear of public labours and party contests, in days without respite and nights without repose f Public life is evidently a pass port to health and longevity , a preserver of moral, and probably of physical time. The contrast between the two party leaders was pictu resquely striking on this occasion : on the one side censorious intrigue decked out in borrowed domestic under garments and in foreign finery ; on the other, common English sense in simple everyday dress. Mr. Doma•su, it seems, will never learn that the bulk of Englishmen love generous errors better than the shrewdest artifices. We are certainly not concerned to champion a Minister who is well able to champion himself, and one of whose prime misfortunes it is to be praised morning and evening for all he does and all he leaves undone ; nor do we care to deify a Liberal Chief whose comprehensive policy satisfies so many Tories. Yet we would willingly plead guilty of the vulgar weakness of preferring a statesman whose principles, and even whose claptraps, are English, to a statesman whose sympathies are as foreign as the jargon in which they are expressed. And this is why, though we are very far from being en titled to rank among the noble Lord's followers, though on a hundred questions we should not be fighting by his side, we would rather be beaten with Lord PALMERSTON than triumphant with Mr. HISRAELL It is just possible that even on the back benches behind the Member for Bucks there may be sitting English gentlemen of our persua sion in this particular, unless Mr. NEWDEGATE'S opinions on the necessity of the " independence" of the POPE, and Mr. BENTINCIL'S ideas of " bloated armaments," have suffered a miraculous conversion within the let few days. It is not only that Mr. Dumasm is so obviously incapable by nature or by grace of any sympathy with English feeling and opinion, but that he displays contempt for all parties in the House by the coarse cunning of the baits he throws to each in turn. Or is it that he counts on the short memories of his hearers ? On Thursday night he was industriously accusing her MAJESTY'S government of pursuing a policy exclusively nw tional, and of paying too little respect in their Ita lian policy to the susceptibilities of our Imperial ally. Has the House or the country forgotten that last year and the year before last Mr. Doum•zu was with equal virulence accusing the same government of playing into the hands of our Imperial ally by preventing the execution of the Treaty of Villafranca ? Mr. Dise•xu does not pretend that the policy of the got.) nment is changed ; yet, whereas a year or two ago it was too favourable to French interests and designs, it is now too independent of the French alliance. So, too, with respect to the " bloated armaments " which Mr. Hakim de nounces at this oonvenient season for condemning the Budget of the year. These " bloated armaments," it seems, represent the " moral power " which a Liberal English Government claims to exercise in the councils of Europe. Yet it was the Go verment of which Mr. Disasm was a burning and a shining light, that in a fit of panic and pas sion, when the Italian war of independence was de clared in '59, suddenly, by Order in Council, swept into the navy ten thousand bounty-men, at an enor mous cost, in order to support Lord M•mansevey's moral demonstrations in the Mediterranean in favour of Austria, and against France and Italy. Doubtless the sincere and eloquent author of the "Three Panics" has not forgotten these ante cedents of his latest and most unexpected disciple. That Mr. Disarm should abound in sneers at mg m oral power," is not more surprising than that he should treat any mention of " political mora lity" as almost a personal insult. He is terribly afraid of the HOLY FATHER'S going to " one of the "cities on the Danube" some fine morning. Where, we should be glad to know, did Mr. Dmaseu ex pect the HOLY Fares to go to in the spring of 1859, when he came down to the House of Com mons to announce the immediate departure of the French troops from Rome t Austria, it is true, was at that date in occupation of the Romagna, and in possession of Lombardy, and the legions of France had not crossed the Alps. And this is the statesmanship with which the Member for Bucks proposes to secure the waver ing allegiance of the honest country gentlemen of England, and to seduce the intellect of indepen dent Liberals below the gangway.

It 'BESS, - SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1062‘ LATEST DITELLIGENCE. • futable case of illegal conduct on the part of administrative authorities, the government feels a real diSeulty in knowing what to do with the peti tioners ; nevertheless (so great is the official in genuity) I do not call to mind any instance of redress of a public grievance having been obtained through the mediation of the Senate. A petition now awaiting • hearing makes out a contempt of law on the part of a prefect so clear and pips- I hi e , that one cannot conceive beforehand any device to which a minister can resort to defend the con duct complained of in the face of the country. The petitioner is a pertinacious country gentleman, named De Cherg6, of the department of the Indre. The plain tale he seta forth is that whereas a law of 1833, which ex concesas is applicable to the present ease, enacts that when there is a vacancy in a council-general, the new election shall take place "within two months," the vacancy in the council general of the Indre, caused by the death of the Marquis de Belabre on June 25, 1858, was not gilled up till "seven months and fifteen days after wards." M. de Cherg6 protested in due form against the election, before the court having juris diction in such matters —namely, the Council of the Prefecture ; and this court solemnly adjudged that, when the legislature said that an election must take place " within two months," it merely meant that the administration should take care to have it without any "long delay," and, therefore, that the election seven months after the vacancy was perfectly legal ! M. de Cherg6 would then (in 1868) have petitioned the Senate against a decision so shocking to common 'sense as well as to every canon of legal construction, but he was restrained by the patriotic consideration that "the war in Italy bad just begun, and he was unwilling to sound the slightest note of discord in an as sembly which should then have no ears bet to listen to the story of our victories, sad no hands but to applaud the triumphs of the children of Fiance." Three years rolled away with out the authorities of the Indre being any further molested by M. de Cherg6, and they, doubtless, thought that they had established a precedent which would enable them at their leisure to choose a government candidate, and to fix the polling day most convenient with • view to tho assuring his election. Accordingly, a vacancy having occurred on Nov. 10, 1861, the prefecture did not convene the electoes till Jan. 19, 1862. The legal limit was only transgressed in this instance by nine days, but on • question of positive law a miss is as good as a mile, and these nine days were too much for the long-tried patience of M. de Cherg6. He reflected, to satisfy his patriotic conscience—at least the Dibats suggests he so reflected—that France has now no wars on hand, except just those trivial ones of Mexico, Cochin China, and Shanghai, and he has laid the whole case before that high assembly which is charged by the constitution with the duty of watching over the public liberties and the execution of the laws. Will he take anything by his motion 1 That is an arduous question. There are precedents for shelv ing grievances equally plain. Last year aM. Montfieury presented a petition to the Senate, complaining that the government had done some thing (in the administration of Paris), by a simple decree, which could only legally have been done by an act of the legislature. The Senate decided that the question was too important to be entered upon at an advanced period of the session, and this year nothing more has been heard of the subject. A petition from she inhabitants of the quarter of the Luxembourg, praying against the mutilation of their garden, was so far countenanced by the Senate as to be sent to the ministry for consideration ; but the garden has been cut up notwithstand lag, aa every passer-by may see. There is i l nothing illegal in the latter case, because (except lupon a direct question of an infraction of the con stitution, and even then the modus operandi is yet to seek) it is not pretended that the Senate has any authority to grant relief upon the petitions which it alone is competent to bear. A reply of the Bishop of Poitiers to the language of M. Billault in the Senate on the address hag just appeared, and is extremely violent. Mgr. Pie accuses the authorities of exercising an incessant surveillance over him, and terminates by predicting a striking chastisement on the power which dares to infringe the privileges of the Holy See. The Bourse is in a hesitating and expectant state. The Bank of France returns show a con tinued diminution in the discount accommodations, which but too surely confirm s the general amounts of the slackness of trade. The Rente closed at yesterday's price, 70fr. 70c. for cash, and 70fr. 80c., with a fall of 10c., for account. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. The Italian Loan is still firm and rose 10c. In railways a fall of bfr. in Orleans was the only considerable change. Caisse Mires rose sfr., closing at 155 f r. Baron Stieglitz, the famous Russian financier, who came here to negotiate the recent loan, has been paying frequent visits to the Bank of France, with a view to study its organisation. TERRIBLE FIRE.—A TOWS DESTROYED BY LIGHTNING: AMSTERDAM, TIMIDLY EVENING. A telegram from the manufacturing town of Enschede, received here this afternoon, reports the total destruction of that town by fire. 15 manufactories, 4 churches, and the town-hall, besides the dwellings of all the inhabitants—about ten thousand—are burned to the ground. Everything is destroyed, or being destroyed, without any means at hand for saving the little property which the flames may not yet have reached. Several lives have been lost. This disaster was caused by lightning. Provisions are being provided for the inhabitants by the surrounding districts. The distress occasioned by this calamity is reported as heartrending. By the last account,tbe town is one sheet of flame. ITALY. - - The King of Italy, moved by the enthusiastic, sympathetic, and spontaneous reception which he has met with from the Neapolitan population, has directed the Syndic of Naples to thank them in his name. The following is the proclamation of the Syndic : Oitissne,—The 28th of April will ever be memorable in the annals of our national resurrection, by the faith in Victor Emmanuel which you felt increasing in your. selves, and by the ft: tare of greatness and eivilirtioe which free institutions promise to our country. Animated by one sediment alone—that of patriotic gcstitedr-woe ell hedged to 'dote the King. who viait:d Naples for the mooed time ; and oa the vends, in the streets, in the egnaree—everywbare you • hailed him with fey and emotion an the defender of Italian indeoendence. Too have mow nadeesived the blind, and have shown the nlitmnielare and enemies of a nd that the love of the Neapolitans for the house of Savoy, which God has appointed to role over us, is as pro found as the sentiment of the liberty and unity of Italy. You have unanimously shown a desire to resider homage to the glorious King who has allied his destinies with those of the country, and you have also preseated, m you ought to do to the first soldier of Italy, the spectacled a people fall of life and hope. Neapolitans, the King charges me to be the interpreter to you of his high matiataction, sad to thank you for your affectionate reception, which be will never forget—a pledge of indissolable wake and d pros perity. G. Covens/. Byadie. Naples, May 4. General Supputi lately addressed the following words to the King of Italy in the name of the National Guard at Naples : Sire—The National Geard has desired that I should woe before your Majesty aa the interpreter of its devotedness. The legions of this illustrious Italian city have held aloft with firmness the banners which were confided to them by your Majesty ; never have their aced, their courage, and their fidelity been for a moment shaken. Above all party pas sions there is a name revered in Italy—namely, that of the first soldier of Italian independent, Victor Emmanuel; around that name are grouped with confides*e all the nations disseminated from the Alps to the lonian fiea. There were great kluge in former times, but never one who dared to rescue a people from their Memel servitude. The King of Italy has opened a new my sad all the nations of the Italian Peninsula are pare,with the Qof " Victor —anuel for ever t" to triumph over reaction, and to bind its bands. The following letter has been addressed by General Garibaldi to M. Baghino, instructor of the corps of Genoese volunteers, and who has just re signed his rank of major : Tresoorre, May 5. Beghino—What you have done for the eorps of Genoese volunteers is worthy of the praise of all good patriots. I feel I acted rightly when I advised you to place yourself with your companions at the disposal of the govern ment in order to put down brigandage. I then said a few words to induce you to despise the malevolence of those who apply the epithet of sold to them who take the neces sities of the country, and not their own private opinion, for their guide. Even now I feel I am doing right in not indu. ring my eon to withdraw his resignation, which was only given in consequenoe of deplorable circumstances which still continue. Let your friends persevere, as they have hitherto done, in remaining united and ready for the hardy trials which await them for the redemption of our oppressed brethren. Give my affectionate greeting to your brave oompanioos—Youm FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. give the company sufficient time to produce such evidence as would be required fully to explain the occurrence, so that the jury might arrive at a just and honest verdict. Yr. Johnson rid nothing would be done to the line in the interval bat what um absolutely necessary for the con tinuance of the trade, and all the broken iron, &c., would be produced for the Inspection of the witnesses and jury. Several of the jury complained that the line had bees touched at all before they viewed it. It was now almost impowildo to aseertabt the sense of the accident. Kr. johnion said nothing had been does but what wu required to be dome in order to amanita the bale ; but if it had been supposed that the coroner would have bees obis so soon after to open his inquiry, the line would have been left precisely an it was found immediately after the 'oddest. Tim inquiry was then formally adjourned until WOdDes. day next. We, yesterday evening, received information that n serious accident had taken place upon the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, and ia order that details of the occurrence as authentic se possible might be placed before our raiders we despatched • reporter to :the Victoria ter -111111911 of the company to pia the nriemery pertiealars. All inquiries into the character of the accident addrened to the offices of the lies were, however, met by them with eva sive mowers. He, however, ascertained that there had been as seckleat on the line to the 7.10 a.m. train, and some meow had been killed and ahem injured, and that one of the auditors of the company bad bees " somewhat shaken," but not killed. The following facts have, how ever, been supplied to es trainload sources : It appears that the regular morning mail-teas het the Victoeimeation at its appointed time-7.10, and that it consisted of an engine and tender ; there were attached two second-clear carriages, followed by two first-class carriages, and terminating with a break-van. The train, which was in charge of two guards and an experienesd driver and fire men, proceeded wifely on its nurse and arrived at and de parted from Sittiagbournmstatiat at the enact time, leaving the station for its downward progress to Dover at 8.26, which was correct time, sad having no other stoppage to make until it arrived at Faversham Junction at 9.10. The train then went on its journey until it reached • spot situ ated about half • mile from the Preston Junction, which portion of the line is on an embankmeet known as the Ospring's-place Bank, and is a little over twelve feet high. with • very mild curve and level. Oa reaching this spot, the train travelling at • moderate speed, the engine-driver felt • slight bumping araement, and in leas than • eseemd, an turaing round he saw that the back portion of the train was being hurled down the em bankment. The fist eserad-class Omsk" next to the engine sad tester, end the eagle and tender themselves kept the sank but the when of the remainder of the train had beams dot rimed, sad leaving the permanent way went over the enhaalcmat with peat Taboos, coming in contact with a misine poke wall at the bottom, and crashing It The driver ad Mon immediately rammed to the spot, mid en assommoss the embeakment found that the carriages were &Regalia broken up and nesolied into frogman. Of course their first efforts were directed, to wards the usfortanate person who bad ocaspied the various =Taws, and managers were desmitched for medial sad other amistaere from Faversham aid the anoint districts. Telegrams were also ant to Canterbury and to the chief offices in Landers, and upon the snivel of the firs aseistanos every effort was made to remove the injured perscas from the team mangos. It was then found that several of the mitigat e:de passengers were severely injured, sad the bat to be removed was pits dead. This was • gentlemen upon whom wee band • loner, be which it apron that his name is Plumb, and that he was • pimpernel traveller. He was a pusengor in the first second-class carriage, the first to go over the embankment; his injuries were very severe, and there is ao doubt that hie death meet have been instantaneous. The next paean found was Br. H. Crock ford, • merchant at Chatham , a t which station be joined the team He was inseasibis, and very mush injured, sad lt was feared that it would be found necessary to ampedate the left leg, which was much shattered. A gentleassa was next found in the first of the two first.clams carriages ; he was also insensible, and his injuries were chilly confined to the head and face. Front a letter discovered upon him there is no doubt that his name is H. Thompson. The next person removed warn William ' Raffi a a s nood-class yea carrisp, eu ibi an ap d m in s s u very s line mn . cli ß hurt e wsa riding He was i shout to be removed to an adjoining inn, but expired from Mesmer' nature of the injuries he had received almost ini. mennely. Only one other person appears to have met with ene injury, and that is Mr. D. Mapleston, the audit clerk of the company. He was found in the debris of the first &st enos carriage, and removed in • state of insurability, from which, however, he recovered, and rallied to such an extent as to enable the medical gentleman to report that he was wash improved. The two guards in the break van received very little, if any, injury, although that vehicle was thrown weer the embankment. The various sufferers were removed to the adjacent house' in Ospringe, under the supervision of Mr. Germ. way, Mr. Gerrard, and other medical gentlemen from Faversham and the surrounding district, and the remains of Mr. Plumb and Harris were conveyed to the Crown laaj where they were placed in an out-home until the inquest should be held. In the meantime the telegrams were received at the Victoria Station in London and at the company's station at Canterbury, and Mr. Forbes, the general meager, at once proceeded by special train to the spot ; and amongst the other officials on the ground were Mr. Wills, the engineer, from Canterbury, Mr. Breese, from Faversham, and Mr. Bi shop,thesuperinteodenk Everyeffort which humanises's/sky could suggest WM reeorted to to alleviate the sallednes el the wounded persons and to clear the line of the debris semi place it in a proper state of efficiency to enable the kaki le be resumed. This having been doom an aka/ cannomioation was at once made by the general teenager of the company to the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, to made that department to and • gentleman to inspect the line aed give his opinion to the comma's jury, by whom the canes of this lamentable catastrophe will have to be investigated. In the mean time the circumstances surrounding the case are of so peculiar • nature that it is impassible to arrive at any con donee as to the origin of the accident. The following ie a detail of the injuries which the persons killed and wounded have sustained: Those injured am Mr. Crockforci, arm and leg completely smashed, and other injuries ; Thomson, supposed to be long to Dublin or Belfast, left temple completely battered in, cannot possibly survive the day it is thought. From letters in this gentleman's pocket, he appears to have ban on his road to France, one of the letters, evidently from his wife, urging him to come as quickly as possible, as his son was dying of dysentery. There is • curious circumstance connected with the poor fellow Harris. He was ordered to Dover on the company's service, and ought to have gone down by the 7.30 train, but in order that he might have a ve couplelled by o th f hours to enje mail n oy himself in. while nstead of at Do his avnetr,ichip.etra. ted pleasure, has met with his death.
