EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT,---An inquest was held on Tuesday, at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, before Mr. J. B. Grinnon, the city coroner, on the body of Henry Barrel, whose death was occasioned in the following sin gular manner :—The deceased was a gardener in the employment of Mr. George, of Cotham, 32 years of age, and en Monday afternoon he went to St. Philip's, for the purpose of ordering some tan for the garden. In Elbroad-street, which was in the way, are some steam sawmills belonging to Messrs. Fear, and when the ma chinery is in motion it is not uncommon for a number of persons to congregate round the gate to watch the progress of the work. The deceased found a group of spectators looking on in this way, and he himself went and stood among them. A. small circular saw was being worked at a speed of about 1,000 revolutions per minute, cutting a piece of crooked birch to a sharp edge. There happened to be hollows in the birch, and as they passed through one of these a piece of the timber broke off. It was a long piece aith a pointed end, and, as in falling it came against the back of the saw, it was hurled with fearful violence 'into the street, and striking the deceased, who stood at a, distance of about twenty-seven feet from the saw, penetrated'near the bottom of his neck to the depth of between 3 and 4 inches. The poor fellow staggered a few paces, 'and im mediately held his heed forward, when it was observed that blood was streaming from the wound in an alarming criantity. The deceased was immediately conveyed to the iu6rmary, but he died almost immediately upon his ad mission. A post mortem examination showed that the stick had divided two of the lari.'est blood-vessels, and, Mr. Powells, the assistant house-surgeon, was of opinion that even had medical relief been at bend it would have , been unavailing. The jury returned a verdict of "Ac cidental death," but recommended that in future the ma chinery should be covered by a proper fence. Mr. Fear, sen., who expressed the deepest regret at the occurrence of the accident, undertook that the suggestion of the jury should be carried out. The deceased, who bore an excellent character, was a married man, and has left a widow and three children. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SERVICE.—The Rev. Robt.

GREAT 'WESTERN OF 'CANADA RAILWAY: , • Yesterday the proprietors of this company held their ordinary half yearly meeting at the Landon Tavern; J. B. Smith, iBRq., M. P:; the Chairniim of : the Enilish Board, presiding.' Tho report, which was published iii The Sim of Tuesday, was then read. The CHAIRMAN Observed that the' 'recent act of Parlia , ment 'required that'. the half-yearly meetings should be held in Canada; but so large an amount of the stock was now held in this couutry that it was thought' fitting to hold half-yearly meetings also in London. I The report, which he bad read with some satisfaction, was kvery full, and; he believed, a very honest statement of the conditiotrof the property. The traffic 1114 been very great. The railway had developed. itself at a- much earlier period than perhaps even the most.sgnguine had Anticipated. There had been some temporary suspension during the past winter in con- Sequenee of the unprecedentedly severe weather in Canada and throughout the United. States. They could-scarcely, form ate idea of the mischief tvhich ensued bathe American railways from the eXtreme. Cold: The Michigan Central, out of 71 engines had had 42 disabled -in consequence 'of' the cast iron wheels, ; which were generally used in the Americin engines, being br 'ken by. i the frost. The Atae tican engines of this company had also suffered, but fortu nately a coneiderabin'portion'of the engines were of Eng.: :dish ,manufacture, the wheels of Whieh being' made of wrought ir•oni; withstood the eff6Ald'of the cold betterthau the cast wheels,: and be might add, that, anticipating da mage freni this cause, the directors., had sent our. wrought iron wheels, which were now on their way to the colony, for rill their American' 'He thought they might look to. a _considerable increase of traffic as soon as the wea ther moderated . . ,By the last return they were informed tjiat a thaw had set in, and that in consequence there had• 'been an increase of 50 per cent.. as :compared _with, the . corresponding, period of the: previous. year K - .The- trafli would, no doubt; continue to inc r ea s e, b u t to.d.,veltape it .fully, a coosi:_leralifle addition to the engines; rolling stock, . and station accommodati o n would'be - The di rectors, however, were at .present• auxiOns abevir . all - things to keep down the capital kccoust. ti Until they saw their 'way elear to an adequate return for- the.ontlay, they wishedle avoid adding to the expenditure. on account of capital ; acting upon that view, theY had snsPended .for the present the doubling of the line as had been intended. The larger portion of their troth coneitited , 'of what was. called foreign traffic, commencing at Detroit and doing on to the Niagara Bridge. Now, the Michigan Central, with which 'their line wars connected on the one aide, and the • iNew York - Central; which joined them on the Other, were beth, of themainglErlines, and neithet of them was . ,:ade-' qnstely provided, with rolling stock, the consequence of WhiCh was that t tpe traffic wassoinetinies delayed - at both entis','the connecting lines being : unable to take ,on as. it 'arrived. • TherM'ore to spend-half a million in doubling the line and ping/I-Eng rolling stock, until their neighbours dirt the same, - : would be to:invest . capital where therawas no prospect of an immediate return. .• The Londen board had, however, requested the Canada'directors to communicate withlhe ComPanies he had named, to Ascertain' what their intentions were in - regard to doubling their lines, and in creasing their rolling stocks, and of cOurse,they would act Accordingly. The directors had distributed the remaining portion of the , napital stock,' considering; first; that the existing shareholders were entitledl to: participate' In any beneficial interest arising . from that stock, and secondly, that it would place the finances of the company on a sound and stable footing, and enable them at the proper time to .go into the market-arid borrow'money upon the host terms. Anticipating the.returnof a period when the public would be anxious to invest in securities of the sound and stable Character which - this company could offer, and innr.ler to be prepared fer it the board had requested the, directors on the' other side of the water to ascertain from the Co lonial Government: whether they Would 'allow thecoMpany to pay off, the debt due - to. them, and to grant an act of Parliament aothorising the .raising of the funds• in such 'Manner 'as the directors and the shareholders might deem most expedient: That question was now under the con sideration of the Canadian board, and iu due time the re sult would be known. -The board set aside the sum which was payable: aennally to the Colonial Government,. re demption of the debt as a deprcciation'fund, being about equal to the amount of the depreciation the permanent way might'be sup Posed to sustain. This mould enable them at all times honestly to divide th e whole net amount of profits, and to offer to the investing Ohne such a security as no other railway could presenthy assuring then that they could not be called upon, .as , in many caseS•the pro prietorS of English railways had been, ,to pay out of cur rent profits' the expense of renewing the line,. which the shareholders who progeded them ought to have paid. In conclusion, he 'moved that the report of-the proceedings of the general meeting, held at Hamilton on the 12th'March, be received and adopted. The motion having been seconded, • Mr. HERAPiTII thought some explanation should be given of the loss of 2 per cent. arising from the working of steam-boats on Lake Ontario, • The CHAIRMAN• attributed the steam-boat specnlation to want a experience on the part of the Canadian directors. The neighbouring lines had established steam-coats in the expectatibn that it would ,bring traffic to the lime. The Canadian directOrS of this company had followed that ex ample, but in each•case the result had been disappoint ment. His own opinion had been that 'the" steam-boats would be a, failure from the first, and ho .had felt this . so strongly that whon the, 50,0011/. had been spout upon the boats he had stated that the best, thing for the company to do with them was to barn them. , _ Mr. CADOGAN inquired what amount of, profit had ac crued on the sale of shares and issue of bonds . from the commencement of the. concern? and, if that infermation could not be given, perhaps the secretary would state what had bean the amount of profit from this : source in the last half-year. The - CHAIRMAN replied that it was stated in the report that the profit from this source in the last half-year had been •2,8391." Mr. O.A.DOGAN would discuss that; but he could state from other information that 64,0001., or 5.i per cent. upon the whole of the capital, had been made to the good since the commencement by those sales and issues. It appeared that 22,0001. had been placed to the capital account as a liquidation fund, or to meet the depreciation which sb. sorbed the half-year's profit from the sale of shares, and to issue debentures was illegal and unfair. It was profit like any other profit, and the shareholders were entitled to the 2 per cent. extra which that amount would have given to them. The issue of the scares reduced the dividend on the one hand, while on the other they wero mulct of so much dividend as this 22,0001. odd would have afforded. He urged the attention of the shareholders to this point, because if the principle were good as to the 22,0001. it might become convenient to extend it to the 64,0001 He suggested that this appropriation of the money of the shareholders in Canada might arise from the power being in the hands of the Canadian di'rec ion, and its be ing exercised without reference to the fact that the London shareholders hold 9-10ths of the whole of the stock. The London board ought to, take a high tone in dealing with the Canadian board, toinsist upon a strict superintendence of the. expenditure., The Great Westin nof Canada Railway was in such a position th a t it did not requ i re t o t a k e 2 plf ecennatb.lefrtohme compan ngs y% m boll l place it own.etit to the credit of ca pital to Mr. L. HEYWORTFI admitted that this money belonged to the , present shareholders and should not be placed to the credit of the future shareholders, which was the effect of the course takers. , 'lie was an advocate for keeping the capital and profit and loss accounts distinct. There might have been losses, but he would say let those lo tus - bs ascer tained and paid out of these exceptional profits, and the balance handed over to the shareholders. Mr. HAwes contended that the mode in which the ac counts.were kept wa's most objectionable. It must not, however, he supposed that the whole of the 61,0001. was profit, for the sale of the shares and bends, it appeared, had cost in commission and expenses the enormous 'sum' of 44,000/. The English sharehelders had not that influence in the management which their numbers and the large pro portion cf stock held bYi hem e n t i tl e d t h em to. The board had appended . s to the touti\lr.

It s • it ought to go to the credit of capital. ; Mr. HERAPATH and several other proprietors took the contrary view. The CHAIRMAN explained that during the confsitorumcttiohne p of the line the shareholde rs rec e ive d 6 per cent. interest on calls paid in advance. ,This abs o rbed 150 ,00 W., in'ad dition to which 44,`021. had been expended in:agencies on. the sale of the bondi and (ie s tv h oo t ie rheest,lhi moneynutildha arising he contended onte thesed e d chargesthat. behorontietat;octioushartier'tswonis. bonds 'to which had attended the, construction of the line. The Sanai branch was going on, and would probably take 18 months or two years to complete. Mr. GILL (a director) held that the 6 per cent. interest paid:on:calls s properly a charge upon capital. tie could . not admit that profits were to'b'e reduced .t,ia order to re: place that ',charge. There had been a question At the-board whether the profits made from premiums upon the gale shares and bonds should.be written off frofromgapital accou n t or t, an d it Was the general feeling that it should, go the present to a stittpense account, leaving it to share holders hereafter to deal ivitb it as they thought At. shared in:the feelinrof dissatisfaction expressed lyy several proprietors e at the A dividend of 8 per cent. per annum, con sidering the business Which had been , done.

(Laughter) , Now, what a chaege, jtad come over all this ! ' The Parliamentary session could scarcely close before all England was off to' the 'High lands.

They had shown, beyond all doubt, that they took peculiar pleasure in the scenes Which' the Highlands presetited. He (the noble duke) attributed to Sir Walter Scott the whole change that had taken place. He had collected in his works all that was brilliant regard to Scotland, 'and hence the strong : feeling ,in its favour which note prevailed aaitingsit all classes of Englishmen. (Otters.) • I A f er a short pause, i .. The LsTobiti CEIAIRMAN said it riciw beca•ne-hhi duty' tO propose what he ini‘ht je tly term the toast of the even ir , g, that of "'Abercrombie and the heroes who fell il: Egypt," and to this he would join ; "Those who fell io the Crimea." They would drink-this toast this 'year under: peculiar 'circumstances. England bad had fre quent alliances with - Gentian nations, but recently she had fought side by side, and shoulder to shoulder with Fiance, in friendly rivalry with , the descendants of the very men "who-n - Abercrombie' and his heroes met face to face in battle. (Loud cheers.): It was , for this reason that he would join with the usual toast on this occasion ; an occa-i in upon which they met t o cele brate the battle of Alexandria—that of the heroes of the Crimea, many of whom belonged to the highland So ciety. One of the noble band, Col. Hunter Bair, was of their number. He was a gentleman who, although a member of the House of C minions, and engaged in public life, went forward at the call of duty to fight the battles of his country. He was amongst the first of those who fell at Inkertnan. (Hear, hear.) He (the noble Chairman) could nut help expressing a hope that the alliance to which he bad alluded might be an enduring alliance, for it was one which must inevitably tend to the promotion of civilisation and the OJIIIMOD cause of Europe. Other toasts followed, and the company was addressed by the Saxon Minister, Captain Jay, Sir Chas. Forbes, the Chisholm, and other gentlemen. The duties of toastmaster were rendered a sinecure, by Dr. Halley—a Highlander of Athol—giving the honours in the Gaelic language, and after the fashion at High .laud gatherings of old. : . TEE CORPORATION REFORM BILL. On Tuesday a Court of Aldermen was held, the doors of which were closed. The following resolution, to which the committee of the Court of Common Council agreed on Monday, was, We understand, introduced to the Court and adopted with ._the unanimous approbation if the . aldermen:— "The Right' Hon. Sir George Grey, her Atajesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, in intrd ducting a bill into Parliament affecting the Corporation of this City, declared that, from the great antiquity of t)e c.irforation,, its immemorial connection -with the' City, its historic association, And. from the, service it has rmdered variods' periods to the cau.te of evil and religious liberty, and of constitutional government, the Corporation of tho City of London is entitletto be treated with all possible respect and consideration. "The Conimisqoners also, who had under . her Ma jeity's commission investigated the state.of the corpora. } lion, reported that they had 'found the utmost readiness in all quarters,to asiist•thern in the'execulion Of their commission, as well by the governing,toembera of .the carp 'ration as by their afiCers, and added that they bad foutri nothing which could affect injuriously tie hononi and integrity of the officers to, mhorn the affairs of the great corporation bad been confi.led. "That with respect to the constitution of Ilia tOrpo ration, of London,. An itno , ,ittant distinction existed between that corporation and the other municipal bodies before they. were reformed. - The most strikiiag defect in V!ein wa- that they existed itidependently,f the con,m-u. nitirs amongst whichth.7 werelound, most ,plat e all iden..ity of 'iriterest - between the corporation and its inhabitants had disappearr I. From this defect. the Cot pi,ri3Oin of London had been ,for..rna.oy years exempt. The , manner in wbich • the Common Councd is elected having produced to a great extent at,: ithmtity of in t , r4-11 s between the governing municipal body and the exist ng municipal-onnmtinity ; and having secured to the totter a council representing their general opil it,ne arra' ' and so distinguishing the Corporation of London from the close corporations - which then - prevailed throughout the country. Receiving, therefore, with satisfaction these expressions as to the integrity and honour of the .proceedings of this corporation, this committee sees with much surprise that a bill has' been brought in; not restraining itself, as suggested, to the aoleh d menti , which were assumed to he necessary, but contait wide and sweeping provisions, injuriously a n d unneces sarily affecting the -ancient rights and -privileges Of the citizens of London." The subj.undergo ct will, it ia expected , discussion in the Court. of Corniuou Council on Friday next. CROSSED OREM. . - The bill regarding crossed checks, in the futile• form to which it has been reduced by a Govern ment "amendment," has just been printed. It simply provides that crossed checks must pass through some banker—a custom already enforced in harmony with the opinion of the judges, and, consequently.requiring no legislation 'to insure its continuance. The evils intended to be met by the bill as it originally stood are to be left untouched,, and the public must therefore still bear in mind, for their own secnrityN that the crossing - of checks with a banker's name will afford them no reliable protectidifigainst dishonesty cr carelessness on the, part of thOse to whom subli'cliecks may be intrusted.

The bill of Mr. Milner Gibson for the abolition of the Oath of:Abjuration men more brings us back t) the question of Jewish- disabilities. It is in an old statute intended to guard the succession to the throne the t -the , words 'f.On -the true faith of a CltriatiauLoccur.- -Tliese3vords-forni-the -sole- bar to the admission of a Jewish -member of Parliament to take. his _seat. It Is now nine years since the ques tion has been practically brought before the country by the election - of a Jew to represent the city of Lou. don. Year e `tei• year bas exhibited the Pune strange and undignaled spectacle. The lionsie - of Common; has'invariably affirmed the principle of adinitting JeWs to Parliament, and has been willing to alter the terms:of the oath by they were acci dentally excluded. The Lords, on the other band, have persisted in rejecting their claims, but in so mooing haveavoidel a fair diseiir;Sirirrorth6 . real question. It is evident that if Jews are to be ex cluded from being representatives of the people the objection must be founded either on some hurtle _ morial English law which is not to be changed, or on some natural unfitness. in the - claimants them selves. 1 1 sTeree_ on neither of these grounds have the Lerds argued the matter fairly. As for the histo rical question, they have net a word to say. The st ternene. that the -Jews are -- aliens has - been once or twice feebly uttered, bit only to be proved un true by any one who chose to remind the House that every one born in the realm is a British sub ject, and that Jews may- hold land and advow sons, fill municipal offices, and receive commissions in either service, juFil like other Englishmen. It is not denied that the wends which the Jew cannot consistently utter were never intended to exclude him • but, if not merely expletive, were. meant to guar agents the tendency to _mental reservation which CatkolicS were supposed to receive from the teachings of JestiitiOale asuists. As for any settled policy of e24uding dews,_fr9m,,puqic functions, nothing of the kind can be f avid in pnr. ll P l 4 B for long .before the 'Oath 'of Abjuration' was- framed. That 1- the: -Jews were :!thettr= n people" living apart, deeming themselves and deemed by others a race cut off from the world, is true enough ; ihat — they' never thought of seeking office or entering Parliament any more than Gipsies at the present lime may be admitted ; but no law or - ;ustoin spoke of them as dis inct from other sale jecte, and no 'tradition can nos he cited by those whd .ct their claims. On the other hand, if it b- right. tbet Jews, as disbelievers in Chris tianity, shetild be excluded from the Legislature, honest politicians are morally bound to argue the case on its own merits . Jr is admitted that.the present form ofwords was rot intended to exclude Jew=,and those who desire to exclude them should not take advantage of its unforeseen effect, but boldly bring forward a - measure which should make Christianity essential to a member of Parliament, declare the election 'of Baron R )thschild void, and require the Speaker tOisineitisew writ ft r London. Mr. Milner Gibson'ebill, thnaecond reading of which ors carried by a majority of 230 to 195, pro poses to abolish an oath framed a century and-a half since to - tiectire the Protestant succession against the claims of the Stuarts. By it, as ie well known, each person who takes .hisneatin Par liainerit abjures all allegiance to any descendant of the_Pretender, and promises to uphold the succes sion as provided .in the Act of Settlement. Mr. Gibson - urged the arguments which must occur to every thinidieginaiii: The descendants of the Pre tender are - all - extinct; and Englishmen in the 19th century, AR9,- evapelled :to abjare allegiance to persons who have; no existence. Any one, there fore, who looks Olson an oath as a serious thing, ancl - ennsiderras at - eVil the useless multiplication of such sacred promises,' must wish to see thia vain formality at once abolished. This oath, ac cording to strict law, has to be taken by a great number of persons holding various offices, and even following some private professions, and it is only by an annual act of indemnity that such persons are released from the effect of their disobedience. Such a condition of • things - Ought clearly no longer to exist, and it is difficult to con ceive what argument could be used in favour of the law, except that it had been framed by wise ances tors, and ought not to be tampered with by us. In the van, however, of opponents came Sir F. Theviger who moved that th e bill b e.rea d th a t d ay six months - and - urged that;though the Pretender's line hadianed - , yet the oath was - needful to uphold the Protestant.. succession.. There was danger -in unsettling the foundations Qf the present Royal family's rights.' Lerd' J. Russell and Lord Lynd burst had .on former occasions when urging the abolition of this oath consented to retain the clause about the Protestant succession, incorporating it with some other oath. Mr. Gibson had not done so,.andeberefore the bill should be rejected. In deference to these objections it was conceded by the promoters of the measure that the Protestant succession should receive due recognition in the Oath of Supremacy; or some other ancient form of words. But such concession was- little likely to satisfy Sir F. Thesiger and his friends. In fact, this bill. was a Jew bill, and their 'zeal for Protes tantism and the issue of the Princess Sophia was promoted only by the fear of seeing the represen tative for L radon take his seat after nine years' exclueion. The repetition of the old arguments came in due course. The removal of the words "On the true faith of a Christian" would be-a direct attack on the Christian cheracter of the house. . The gee at men who 'worded the Oath of Abjniatien designed not only to shut out the Stuarts, but to assure the Christian character of the Le g islature, w hi c h wou ld b e l ost if a J ew were admitted. Mr. Napier warnel the house against leaving the Protestant succession and the Christian character of the country open questions. Mr. Walpole held that Jews might be magistrates, be- . cause they only administered laws ; but not mem bers of Parliament, because they would have to make them. In fact, all ma said against the bill that has been said during nearly a decade of ses sions. The Premier and Mr. Disraeli, howeier, both supported ' the motion, which was carried, and the bill was. read. a second Nothing has occurred to change the opinion which we have held during so mans years. Put ting aside thequeetiou of. obsolete oaths, we take the measure as it concerns the claims of the Jews. Tile case is simply one of right. No vague oratory about unchristianising theeLeeislatiare,lio palpably uutree assertions about the Jews being aliense - ean hive any effect when once the,casq is clearly. un• derstoode The English Jew : is just as much an Englishman as the English Ceristian.

On the grounds, therefore, .0 natural right,. of analogy, and even of positive law, wo assert that the last restrictioneon•theerights of one Ethet or British sub jects should , beetaken away. Can it be believed that common - sense or public opinion is against such a concession ? If so, let the opponents of the Jewa bring forward a bill on the subject.
