" The Count Sieger, ex-Member of the Conven tion, formerly Consul of the Republic, and Senator, who had taken refuge at Brussels, has arrived to-day at Paris with his family; be is above 80 years of age.

" The Minister of Public Instruction, in the expose which he gave in the Chamber of Peers on the application of trial by jury to offences of the Press, brought a serious charge against the Journals. The Press, said the Duke de Broglie, has, since our glorious revolution, greatly abused the liberty which it obtained. Its ebtrrations, excusable at first, ought now to cease. Tile period of indulgence it now gone by. " This mode of attacking the Press is only a re petition of that which has for some time past been commonly 01144 of In certain saloons. There has not been, it would seem, enough of declamation against these journals who do not,quite coincide in the opinions of some Ministers as to the measures of Government, and who indulge in a rational censure against some acts of power. One can hardly imagine the intolerance of a certain coterie—a sort of pew congregation, which calls itself infallible. Un doubtedly we should be amongst the first to de precste the offences of the Press, for we are aware that liberty to the powerful, ought to be temperate, and that all abuse of it must tend to the die turbance and the destruction of social order. But is it, we ask, within a short period of the glorious days of July, when the Press rendered such import ant services, not only to liberty but to public order, that it is considered necessary to make a public charge against it ? Could the Ministry of the Con. rogation have spoken of the Press in other language than that used by the Duke de Broglie ? Was it not in the name of liberty, that it wished to abolish the freedom of the Press ? We are aware that self interest often mistakes itself for the interest of the country, and imagines that social order is entlan• gored, because a Journal indulges itself in a dis agreeable censure; but this would not be the course of an honourable administration, composed of men of ability devoted to a constitutional system. If any Journahrrianagress the bounds of the law, let them be brought to a sense of their duty; but let not bear of ' indiggence towards that which has tendered incontestable services. "But is there no more importune object to occupy Ministers at present than the offences of - the Jour nals ? Are there no other dangers more-imminent— other cares more imperative ? Every thing is to be reconstructed in our society, and the talents of M. de Broglie might find employment in matters much more urgent. We, in our turn, thuy say to him, that 'the time is gone by' far declamations against Press, end that it will be unworthy of an enlight. cued and patriotic Minister to take up expressions familiar to such Ministers us :Villele and Peyronnet. DEATH OF THE RIGHT. HON. WILLIAM lIVSKISSON. (From a Correspondent of the Timex.) LIVKILPOOL, THURSDAY, TWO O'CLOCK ' 41.111. I am sorry to inform. you that an express has just rad ved, bringing us information that. Mr. Huskisson died ut Eccles last night, shortly after nine o'clock. You will nu likely bear of this melancholy event before my letter reaches you, bitt as there must be many details regarding it, in which' the public will take au interest, I shall make a point of getting to Eccles us soon us I can, upon the return of day-light. 11LXVEN O'CLOCK, A.M. The appearance of this town is most lamentable and gloomy. The deepest dejection is visible on every countenance. All the shops are half closed, and in most of the private houses the shutters are too. The ' shutters of the Exchange News-rooms, and the blinds of the Underwriters' room, are both closed, and the signs of mourning are in the town universal. There is a wonderful contrast in the docks, where the ships are rigged Otit in their gayest colours, and have oil their streamers flying. They expect a visit from the Duke of Wellington, which I have just 'been informed that they will not receive. The Duke has stated his readiness to receive the freedom of the town voted to him by the Corpora tion, as privately as possible, but has also declared his unwillingness to make any public uppearanee in the town. He has also declined the 'invitatio* to dine in the Town-hail, which was given to him by the Mayor and Corporation ; and in an hour's time placards will be issued, declaring that dinner to be postponed sine die. I have just been informed that had Mr. Iles kisson been alive, he would this morning have met Sir James Carnegie, to settle the details of a pro specter for establishing a steam navigation company, for extending still further the advantages which are to be expected to be derived from the employment of the locomotive engines on the rail-road, The ewe, ployment of steam-vessels has hitherto been confined either to the largest rivers or the most frequented coasts of England, or to those places in foreign countries which are accessible after one or two days' stoyeges. A company is now forming which pre-' poses to employ a regular line of steam-vessels be tween Liverpool and Amalie, between London and Bordeaux, Lisbon, Gibraltarond the Mediterranean, and between Bristol and some of the principal ports in Abe West Indies. Steam-boats are likewise to be established between London and South Wales for the carriage of copper and tin, of which the freightage is very heavy. I am told that preparatiens are in progress, by which the foul smoke, so disa greeable in the ordinary stenm-vessels, will be re saved,---that there will be no smoke and no shim. ney,---thet the bulk of the engines will be dim!» nishedr-iind that thus the motion will be at once smoother, steadier, and more equable. '1 am told that this project had met with the concurrence of Mr. fluskisson, and that if be bad live d, he would this morning have looked over and set tied the details. I have just this moment received from an ()tibial personage who saw the accident which befell Mr, tluskisson, an amok of it, which differs in Ip;c on! slight particulars from. that which I ttemonitted you last night. According to my inforniant, the North nmbrien engine had no sooner smelted than several gentlemen alighted, in order t o stretch their limbo, and have a more a close inspection of the line of road. I understand, but am not sure of the fag", that a plaited had been issued by the Directors, re questing that no gentleman would quit the car dur ing the temporary halts which it might be neces sary to make to procure a supply of fuel and waters 'Whether such a placard wits Pined, I moult Ca. Wady aseertein; but if it was issued, it was gene "HY ttegiected. Fourteen or fifteen gentlemen, at least, quitted the Weal car, `and formed in groups upon the railway. Two of the steam-engines—the Pluenix and the North Star—passed them without. 'injury ; and the parties, were preparing to return :to their wits, whet, the Rocket engine. was seen Up. proathing them with some rapidity, and flung them ell into contusion, in the ordinary cart there are steps on each bide, by which they e I► .be mounted; but in he deist tar these '4 areseasi wanting, it having twee arranged rt stell commotimion of the ladies theregithouidth r t" tempo vary flight of steps suspended at d ie 1 1 4 1 3 "11- could be brought at will to any part of t ) l . l c e t i% from which the ladies might wish to la i d, th . oi r r , arrangement, it happened arid ` that one indeed a ' main, chance of escape was rut ott l';oM the gentle men on the Railroad. Every body, was torsi F ns to get out of the way ;„ end thus, irp their eager steels to escape, one gentlernee, without intend int it, impeded the other. Many gentlemen ran beyond the station of the Royal 'car, pad thus getting into a wider space of road,:l.ite cured a safe retreat. Mr. ,Calcraft,- : _who Was one of the party on the road, sprung ,with gteat activity from the road into the car. Mr. Magnet and 'Mr. Harrison, one of the Directorti, clung" fast to the Royal car, and - es the interval bet ween,lhe two lines of Railroad is from fear feet to six;feet wide, owed their, safety to their fortunate presence of mind. Mr. Htiskisson, as I told youlesterday, wavered as to the course which )10 should pursue, and in his agitation lost his balance and fell. Dr. 'handfed] of Liverpool, and Dr. Hunter of Edin burgh, immediately ran forward to offer their assis tance to Mr. Huskisson. One glance at him, es he lay on the road, was sufficient to make them tie quainted with the dreadful nature of the:injuries which he had received, and with 'the necessity of cutting off his leg from the middle''of the thigh to give him the slightest chance for life. The 'Earl of Wilton, who throughout the lamentable occurrences of the slay showed great presence of mind, applied the tourniquet to the thigh in a most surgemAike manner. Whilst this was doing Mrs. Huskisson was using every exertion in her power to reach her lacerated hutiband; but as it was thought that her presence might:impede the Operations of the medical men, and might also agitate the object of their at tentions very unnecessarily, she WAS prevented from fulfilling her purpose by the, application of gentle but well-intended force. The first words. that ,Mr. HutikissttnipOke after the accident was to'deelare his conviction that he was a dead man. His next were to caul for his Wee tionme and almost distracted wife.. Her friends, who Were endeavouring to persuade her not to go near her husband, then desisted from their solicita tions, and helped her to descend from the car.— Whilst they were thus engaged, a board was pro cured, upon which Mr. Iluskisson was placed, and then lifted into the orchestral car, from which the musicians had previously been removed. lam told that, at first, he expressed some reluctance to this arrangement, requesting the surrounding spectator., to let him die where he was; but that he shortly afterwards yielded with resignation to the.wishes of his friends. When he was placed in the car, Lord Colville supported his head, the Earl of Wilton, who sat at the bottom of the c a r, a n d no t on th e bench, held his hand and arm, and Mrs. Iluskisson hung over him, watching his agonized features. It was deter Mined to carry him to the first gentleman's house which was near the Railwayord as that hap pened to belong to his friend Mr. Blackburn, of Eccles, the Northumbrian proceeded at her full speed to that place.. teem', wstAn mAwenzmn, init. O'CLOCK. I have just 'arrived at 'this populous village, and have been fortunate enough to collect the following account of Mr. Iluskisson's reception here. The accident, as I told you before, occurred at five mi nutes before twelve o'clock, and it was a little after one o'clock When Mr. Iluskisson was brought to Eccles. On his arrival every preparation was made to convey him, as easily as possible, to the house of the Rev. Mr. Blackburn, to which, I have learned, that be hittiself desired to be brought, and which is not more than two hundred yards front the Railroad. It is stated, but I 'cannot believe the fuer, that Mr. Blackburn, who was himself in one of the cars in the rear, had not even so much as heard of the ac cident which had befallen his lamented friend, then lying in a dying state in his house, until hi s arr iv a l in Manchester, and that he was only informed of it upon being asked a question, of which he could not comprehend the meaning, us to the condition in which he had left Mr. Iluskisson. Mr. Iluskisson, on reaching Mr. Blackburn's house, was, by desire of Mrs. Blackburn, laid upon a couch in the drawing. roam. , A bed-room was prepared for his reception, but Dr. Brandreth and Dr. limiter, who had accom panied him froth Parieside-bridge, thought that it wonld.be More advisable not to remove him. Mr. Unit, the principal surgeon in Eccles, happened to be veer the Railroad when Mr. Iluskisson arrived, and hearing that an accident had happened, but not lthewing to whom, came forward and volun teered his assistance. Ile followed Mr. Iles- ' kisson to Mr. Blackburn's house • but though Dr .13randreth, Dr. Hunter, and Mr. house; were present, Mr. Huskisson's friends thought that still further medical assistance was necessary. The Earl of Wilton in consequence started for Manchester in the locomotive engine, and in a period almost incredibly short, considering that Mr. Rimsorne wax to be found in so busy a place as Manchester then was, returned with that gentleman, and a case of ampu tating instruments. Mr. Itansome, on seeing his pa tient, did not deem it safe to perform an operation in consequence of the weak state in which he found him. Unfortunately, Mr. Fluskisson did not rally at all in the course of the afternoon, but went on gradually sinking. At a quarter past six o'clock Mr. Blackburn, ut his own request, administered to him the sacrament, which he received with great de votion. Mr. Iluskisson, it appears, was at all times subject to spasmodic attacks ; and shortly after the sacrament had been administered, hie tendency to spasmodic action increased, and he was often thrown into violent convulsion. His sufferings were ex cruciating, but he bore them with patience, ford tude, and resignation. When there was an interval of pain, he took occasionally a little wine and water, and a few grapes, and offered such topics of con solation to his wife and surrounding friends as he thought best suited to alleviate their grief. About seven or eight o'clock he began to sink so rapidly that all intentions of amputation were given up by his medical attendants. Mr. Bansome said that if it were attempted, the patient would die under the knife, and therefore refused to perform it as calculated to aggravate his sufferings without any hope of ultimate advantage. It has been stated in the neighbourhood that Mr. Huskisson died from loss of Wood, but this was by no means the case. There was applied to his thigh at Prokside-bridge, by the advice of Dre, Brandreth and Hunter, and by the manual assistance of the Earl of Wilton, an arti ficial tourniquet, which stopped the of sion of blood, and, comparatively speaking, he lost but little. When he first reached Eccles all bleeding had nearly ceased, and the cause of his death is therefore more likely to have arisen from the laceration of his muscles, and the consequent derangement of his whole system. At five minutes past nine his sufferings were termi nated by death, and at that moment Mrs. Huskisson, who had never left him from the 'bat moment in which this lamentable diaster took place ' was by his 'side. As soon as it was ascertained that lie was dead, this unhappy lady, who had evinced to the hot mriment of his life an admirable control over ber,4,4wii feelings, could no longer maintain her forced appear ire of serenity. She yielded to the natural inthienee of her feelings, and at last was separated from the body almost by force by the Earl of Wilton and tinEd Granville,. who also beard the hot groans of the expiring Stateernan. . ~ After Mrs._ tluskisson bad been removed from the room, the surgeons proCeeded to is nearer in vestigation of the injuries which Mr. liuskisson had s us tained. I stated them to you generally in my last letter; but I am now able, through the kind ness of Mr. Holt, from whom I received many of the particulars which I have just stated to you, to describe them more particularly. When Mr. Ms hisson fell, he must have fallen obliquely as regards the line of the Railroad. His thigh and his leg must have been in such a position as to have formed with the line of the Railroad a triangle, of which the angle at the apex would be formed by the baud of the knee. The wheel of the engine thus passed over the calf of his kg and the middle of the thigh. leaving the knee itself uninjured. There was a compound fracture in the upper part of the left leg just above theealf. The wheel must also have gone shoitingly over the thigh up to the middle of it, us the muscles were all in that direction laid bare in on e inimense flap, and the bone was severely ft-no ! tared 0111.1 comminuted. Indeed, it was foetid so : tommitutted as to be almost a powder. Before the eorptia,Wtia laid out Mr. Holt, and Mr. Ransome, itHil sewed up the lacerated pints, so as to render the body as seemly as possible. I may here add, that it was the unanimous opinion of his medical attendants, that had Mr. Iluskisson been of a good constitution, the injury might slot have proved fatal; but be was only just recovering from the effects of a surgical operation, performed upon him since the funeral of his late Majesty, and from the system of depletion to which he bad been subjected, and of which the public may form some idea when they hear that for the last six weeks he had taken no other sustenance that► tea, toast, arid gruel, was unable to support the loss of blood which would have neces sarily followed the amputation. INQUEST ON AIR. HUSKISSON. The melancholy intelligence of Mr. Huskisson's death soon reached Manchester; and as an inquest was necessary, Mr. Milne, the Coroner, took with ju ry. The speed the necessary steps for assembling a The summonses were for nine o'clock in the morn ing; but the Coroner did not arrive till ten. As he had an inquest to hold at Flixton at one o'clock, and another to hold at Manchester at a later period of the afternoon, he was naturally anxious to pro- ceed with all speed to business, but this was found impossible, owing to the accidental absence of the Earl of Wilton, who was ex p ec t e d to be the prin cipal witness. In order that us little time as pos sible might be lost, he swore in the Jury at the Grapes public-house, and requested them to pro ceed and view the body of the deceased. About eleven o'clock they proceeded to the Vicarage, but were not immediately admitted into the room where the corpse lay, in consequence of Mrs, Huskisson having deceived the affectionate vigilance of her friends, and having forced herself into the apartment where his body was lying. lam informed that it was her anxious wish to have laid out his body her self, and that she said that it was Mr. Huskisson'a wish that she should have performed to him that ceremony. She did not, however, contest the point, and after some solicitation on the parts of Lords Colville and Wilton, * a s persuad e d t o give up that intention. After she bud been removed from the apartment, the Jury went into it by two 'or three at a time, in order that Mrs. Huskisson's feelings might not be wounded by hearing their steps as they proceeded to view the body. The body was laid on a bed, anti was covered with a sheet. The Jury did not examine the wounds at all; but having merely removed the sheet, returned to . the (rates. ()tithe hurl of Wilton's arrival at one o'clock, his deposition was taken by the coroner. He stated that Mr. Huskisson, with several other gentlemen, were standing outside the Royal car, of which the door was open. On the alarm being given that the Rocket engine was advancing upon them, he en deavoured to move round the edge of the door, and in doing so became by some means entangled with it. His movements then became confused, and whilst in that state the Rocket passed him and knocked him down, and the consequence was that his left leg and thigh fell on the off rail of the way on which the Rocket was moving. He fell in such a way that his left leg and thigh were crooked into an angle, so that two,parts of the whole limb rested on the rail, one part about the middle of the thigh, and the other just above.the calf of the leg. At this mo ment the wheel went over him. As soon as pos sible assistance was rendered him, and he was for warded to Eccles. His Lordship stated that the disaster was a mere accident,—that no blame could attach to either the directo rs , engineers, or ma chinery. His Lordship was the only witness sworn, and at the close of his examination he read over and signed his deposition. Lord Granville, in answer to some remarks made in the room, said th a t M r . H us ki sson was affected with a numbness of the limb, in consequence of an operation which he had lately undergone—a circum stance which might account for tine slowness and irresolution of his motions. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," but affixed no deodand on the engine, from which it may be fairly inferred that they acquitted the engineers and the machinery of all blame. I have just learned a few additional particulars with regard to the firmness with which Mr. 'lns kisson bore his sufferings, and the collected state of his mind almost up to the last moments. After Mr. Huskisson had received the sacrament, he called for his private secretary (Mr. Wainewright), and re quested him to add a codicil to his will, the purport of which he stated. Mr. Wainewright having drawn it up, submitted it to Mr. Huskisson for signature, after the unfortunate gentleman had sug gested one or two verbal alterations. I have seen that signature, and have else compared it with a frank given by Mr. Huskisson some short time before. The direction on the frank is in a sloping, fluent, easy hand : that of his last night's signature, though the formation of the letters is essentially the same, is more upright, and betrays great nervous compres sion. After he had written "W. Huskisson," and had given the paper to Mr. Wainewright, he called for it again, for the purpose of placing his usual dot between the W. and H.,—a circumstance which proves, that to the very last he retained his partiality for all the minuteness of business. I cannot conclude this notice without mentioning again the extraordinary attention paid by Mr. and Mrs. Blackburne to every thing that might alleviate their suffering guest.. Fully relying that the details contained in this letter are essentially correct, I was here about to close; but it affords me much satisfaction to be able to transmit to you a description of Mr. Huskisson's conduct from the very moment of the accident to that of its fatal termination given me by a gentle man who was present throughout the whole occur rence, and who is one deeply interested in all the circumstances of the case. The cavalcade of carriages started from the sta tion In Crown-street, near Liverpool, at twenty minutes before eleven o'clock. At about twelve o'clock they reached Purkside, near Newton, a twice of 15 miles; there they stopped, for the pur pose of taking in a supply of water. Many of the passengers in the different carriages availed them selves of this opportunity of alighting, amongst this number was air. Iluskisson, who went in the same carriage with the Duke of Wellington, and the other distinguished strangers. It may be well here to mention that this carriage traversed one line of Railway, whilst all the other carriages occupied another line, parallel with the first, end sep arate d from it by nn intervening space of a few feet. Mr. Ituskisson after having alighted went to the front of the carriage, and was in conversation with the Duke of Wellington, who had not alighted, when on a sudden a cry was heard that one of the steam-carriages on the parallel line was regularly advancing: many of the gentlemen succeeded in get ting into the carriage a few seconds before the ma chine came rolling on, at the rate of 25 or 30 mile s an hour. Mr. Iluskisson finding himself too late seemed a little bewildered, and he either slipped down or threw himself down purposely us the best chance of escape, when the wheel of the other car riage going at this rapid rate went over his left leg end thigh (without touching his knee), and frac tured the bones and lacerated the muscles and blood yessels to such a degree that amput at i on very high on the thigh was immediately declared by a sur geon who was present . on the spot t o n tr ar d the only hope of saving his life. lle was immediately placed on a door, which was put upon a small light steam-carriage,.. in whi c h h e was uecom panied by Lord Wilton, who undertook to pro ceed afterwards to Manchester for a surgeon. There were also in the car with him Mrs. Ws kisser), her relation, Lord Colville, and Mr. Waine might, us well BS Docto r Ilrundreth, of Liver pool, awl Dr. Hunter, of Edinburgh. They pro ceeded''ttthe rate, as is aver red by between to tl . s i ( e m V le i o ca f r t a i le a p t art l y ?. thirty stud forty miles cut hour. In the a b seece o f Mr. Thomas 111ackburne, the Vicar, he was receiv e d w i t h t h e deepestand most anxious interest by Mrs. Black borne, who directed him to be immediately carried into the nearest room (the drawing-room), where he Was laid upon a sofa. In a short time four surgeon; of Manchester—Mr. Ransome, Mr. What ton, Mr. Gturside, and Mr. White—arrived, and after a careful examination of the case, came to a unanimous decision, in conjunction with the physi cians, that amputation, though indispensable to effect a recovery, could not, without the most imminent and immediate danger, be undertaken, until 'a re action should have taken place; instead, however, of rallying, he became gradually weaker, with an in creasing coldness of the extremities, till after suffer ing excruciating tortures from spasms, which he bore with heroic fertitude, he seemed extremely exhausted, and after about fifteen minutes of appa rent stupor, he breathed his last. From the first moment of the accident he said that he felt he had not many hours to live, and he gave directions for some alterations in his will, which were carried into effect, and to which he affixed his signature with as much clearness and precision as if he had been in the enjoyment of perfect health. From the moment of his reaching the Vicarage till his death, he was constantly and most assidu ously attended by his devoted wife, but now distracted widow (Mrs. Huskisson), by the Earl of Wilton, Lord Granville, Lord Colville, Mr. W wright, and his medical attendants, II setice, as well as in that of the vicar, - bnrne, who Ht his own request had previously ad ministered the sacrament to him, he breathed his last at nine o'clock in the evening. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) The circumstances attending the melancholy and fatal accident are as follows :—The procession and engines halted at Park-field, 16 miles from Liver pool, to take in water at the feeders and for fuel. Notwithstanding the frequent and pointed request of the directors and conductors, numbers of gentle men descended from their seats. Several parties .from the principal carriage,its engine the Northum brian having halted, alighted and walked in the im termediate space between the two parallel lines of rail-way. Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Holmes (Mem ber for Queenborougli) were of the number. Mr. Huskisson, after his recognition and salutation with the Duke of Wellington, stood on the ground talk ing with some ladies in the grand car. At that mo ment, the Rocket engine, immediately behind the Northumbrian, but on die opposite Railroad, ap peared moving onwards before the Northumbrian; the pedestrians, in the intermediate space between the two lines of road, immediately resumed their seats. Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Holines stepped on the outside of the frame-work of the grand car. Mr. Huskisson, nervously fearing that from the extra breadth of the state-carriage his person was not safe from pressure on the passing of the Rocket, at tempted to climb over the side of the car into the seats, and placed one leg over. Mr. Holmes mo mentarily cautioned him to remain as he was, and that there was ample room to stand secure out side. Mr. Huskisson, however, in the panic of the moment, again scrambled to gain a fresh hold on the side of the carriage : he unfortunately seized the door of the carriage, which gave way, and in the struggle to save himself, Mr. Huskisson fell down on the ground at the moment the Rocket engine passed. He apparently endeavoured to fall with his body parallel with the rails, so that he might be safe in the apace between the two lines of road ; but in the fall and concussion on the ground his right leg doubled up under his thigh, and got across the Railroad of the Rocket. Whether the engine -wheels, or the wheels of its first carriage, or both, passed over the leg and thigh in that posi tion does not appear certain; but one of the at- endants of the Rocket states that three wheels of the engine and following carriage then went over it. The occident was the circumstance of a moment, The Rocket immediately on the call of danger was stopped. Several gentlemen ran up : Mr. Huskis son was weltering in blood below his middle, and lying across the two roads. Lord Wilton, Mr. W. Rathbone, of Liverpool, and Mr. Joseph Parkes, of Birmingham, immediately came to his assistance. After some minutes' delay and consultation as to the best Mode of removing the unfortunate sufferer, the door of one of the company's adjacent hovels was procured, and brought to the spot. They then placed him upon it, carefully removing his lower limbs and shattered leg and thigh. The latter were dreadfully mangled, and apparently sepa rated in two parts below the knee, and far above the knee at the tipper part of the thigh. Mr. Parkes, in moving the fracture to the board, ex pressed a hope that he did not add to the pain : Mr. Hoskisson just shook his head in the negative, and replied, " This is my death ;" and in a few moments faintly said, " God forgive me." These were his only words, excepting an occasional and faint ejacu lation. His mind and physical system appeared suffering rather from the sudden and dreadful shock of the accident than of excruciating pain, and the raising him on the door did not seem to add to his bodily anguish. But death was depicted in the pe culiar shades of his countenance, and his words but too truly predicted the result. The appearance of his eyes, and the lived death-like hue of his coun tenance and lips, his stricken and resigned expression foreboded the early termination of life. No great flow of blood followed the movement of his limb. Lord Wilton with a pocket handkerchief skilfully tied a temporary tourniquet, which effectually stop ped the bleeding, and he was then moved into the carriage of the band. Mrs. Huskisson, who had seen the accident from the inside of the State car, quite overpowered, was then brought to her hus band. Mr. Huskisson, though perfectly sensible, scarcely recognized her presence and solicitude in supporting him. Dr. Southey of London, and Dr. Brandreth of Liverpool, immediately attended him in the car. A consultation was then held as to the most advisable place of removal. It was ultimately decided to take him to Manchester, for the earliest surgical advice. The band carriage was detached from the others, and taken on by one of the engines. On approaching the vicarage and village of Eccles, about five miles from Manchester, it was judged best, from the suffering state of Mr. Huskisson, anti the great danger of the excessive crowds about Manchester, to atop short at Eccles. Mr. Huskis son was then moved across the Railroad, about 200 ' yards,, to the Vicarage-house of the Rev. T. Black burne, the son of the late member for the county of Lancaster. The engine was instantly despatched to Manchester for medical aid. Mr. Ransome, one of the most eminent and experienced local surgeons, shortly arrived, afterwards other surgical assistance. After the first examination and clearance of the frac tures and broken ,lii,ghaemielnigtisl, andimm sepdlijantteeraemdpstttatatetion was of the c th i i ) g il l ' t ki f e r i a 'e c d t . ure, added to the sinking and pros trated state of Mr. Iltiskissoti, ultimately determined the medical gentlemen not to attempt the operation under the imminent risk of his instant death. The great artery of the thigh was said to have been ruptured, but this is not known with certainty; and, indeed, instant death must have followed on the spot had a complete rupture occurred at the time of the accident. As the cat riage approached Eccles, Mr. Huskisson was seized with most violent spasms, which lasted, at periodical intervals of some minutes, till his thigh was cleared and dressed, and till nearly seven o'clock in t h e evening. It is feared that to this time he suffered most acutely, and he several times expressed his anxiety for a merciful release of his life. At seven e idi c e a c m orie e l ec ce teol d tA c h o e n p sl o ic s read c odic i l 11;) te, : ) v t a i.i s is v perfectly ieilu‘,vaiit: however, gradually sinking, and a few minutes after nine at night, he breathed his last. This mournful accident, on its first occurrence, spread an instant gloom over the whole company, even when life was not known to he endangered. Th e Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel announced t h e i r determination not to proceed t o M anc h ester, but to return. At this juncture a conference of a full hour took place at Park-field, and the sympathy „ ri d feeling of the Duke of Wellington and Mr. P ee l were not overcome on the question of an im mediate return to Liverpool till the directors and several gentlemen represented to them the extreme • danger of disappointing the dense and fearful popu lation of Manchester and its environs, and also the possible rumours of general accident which might have painfullyospread through the country if the procession had returned. After the delay of an hour and a bait the engines and different attached parties proceeded. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel did not enter the rooms, where a splendid collation was prepared for the company, but after the different parties had sat down returned with the directors and one of the engines to Liverpool. Owing to some confusion and mistakes, consequent on the accident, the bulk of the procession did not reach Liverpool till eleven o'clock at night. On the following morning, an official account of the death of Mr, Huskisson having be en rece i ve d by the Mayor, the Duke of Wellington requested that all the intended festivities of the week might be sus pended. The shopa'throughout the town were then simultaneously and voluntarily closed. The vessels in the docks and river displayed their flags half mast high. The Exchange rooms and public places had their shutters closed. In all public parts of the town nrn,,, , , t* "f - hants were lamenting the great ...Tied by the town in its re -lountry in a statesman of ' , mete.* a • ,seietative, and Ii pre-eminent powers was immediately dressed to the IL 0., signature, to the following effect : " We, the undersigned, respectfully request that you, as the official organ of the inhabitants of Liverpool, will make an immediate application to the friends of our late lamented representative, requesting that his remains may be interred within the precincts of this town, in which his distin guished public worth and private virtue secured for him the respect and esteem of the whole community." It la said to be the wish of the principal mer chants that Mr. Huskisson should be buried on the Exchange, or in the consecrated ground of the beautiful cemetery formed in the old stone quarries of the New Town. Immediately preceding the accident Mr. Huskis son had remarked to Mr. Rushton how " exhilarat ing" the scene appeared ; and it was only on the preceding day, on Tuesday afternoon, that he was received in the Exchange with acclamations of un common unanimity and warmth, his first appearance in public since the election, where ill health had pre vented his attendance. He was called to address the assembled merchants, and his last and emphatic words pronounced from the bar of the room, and addressed to his constituents, were consistent with his enlarged views of free trade,—" I am immove ably convinced that whatever advances the general interests of this great mart of commerce, will but advance all the other great interests of the country; and first and foremost, that Interest which is the oldest and greatest of all—the landed interest, upon which, as the example of this country so well de monstrates, industry and commerce have already conferred so many benefits." (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 16. It is utterly impossible to describe the sensation which the sudden and violent death of Mr. Bus kisson has caused amongst the inhabitants of Liver pool. They are all, without any distinction of party, plunged into a state of sorrow as great, if not greater, than that which the nation felt when ' the sudden death of the late Princess Charlotte occurred. The melancholy news of his death was received at an early hour this morning; and, though the event had been anticipated as certain by all who knew the nature of the injury which he had sustained, yet it took the great bulk of the people by surprise. All the shops and dwelling-houses were partially closed, from one end of the town to the other. The flags on the public buildings, and on the shipping in the port, were hoisted half mast; and the streets were filled with anxious groups, conversing, with mournful countenances, on the melancholy catastrophe which had deprived Liverpool of her admired and popular repres entat i ve , and England of one of her leading statesmen. This - awful visitation of Providence has put a stop to all the preparations which were in progress in honour of the Duke of Wellington's visit to Liverpool. Today his Grace was to have made his public entry into the town, and, though it was generally conjectured that he would not go through the ceremony, the streets were crowded by inhabi tants and strangers, with which latter class the town is full. All business was at a stand in consequence of Mr. Iluokisson's death, and thus the crowd was greatly increased. Towards eleven o'clock it was officially announced that the Duke had, under the melancholy circumstances of the case, dee/ ned visit ing the town ; and shortly afterwards the following letter from his Grace to the Mayer was published : " Childwall,- Sept. 16, 1830, half-past seven a. tn. Stn,—l enclose a note received about an hour ago, from Lord Wilton, which will make you acquainted with the melancholy result of the misfortune of yesterday. Having all been witnesses of this misfortune, and as all must feel for the loss which the public, and the town of Liverpool in particular, have sustained in Mr. Huskisson, I do not think that it would be satisfactory to any, that there should be at this moment in the town any parade or festivity. " Under these circumstances, I propose not to visit the town this morning, and I request you to excuse me for de clining to dine with the corporation this day. " I likewise beg leave to suggest to you the expediency of postponing to some future period the ceremony of your delivering to me the freedom of your corporation, to which you did me the honour of admitting me some time ago. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " WELLINGTON." " The Worshipful the Mayor of Liverpool." The following letter from the late Mr. Huskis son's private secretary was published : , 4 Eccles Vicarage, Wednesday, Sept. 15. " Sm.,—With the deepest grief, I have to acquaint you, for the information of yourself, and of the community over which you preside, that Mr. Huskisson breathed his last at nine o'clock this evening. He was attended from the moment of the accident, with indefatigable assiduity, by Dr. lirandreth, of Liverpool, Dr. Hunter, of Edinburgh, and Mr. Ransome, Mr. Whatton, Mr. ()amide, and Mr. White, of Manchester. " His last moments were soothed by the devoted atten tions of his now distracted widow, and by the presence of same of his distinguished and faithful friends. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " WILLIAM WAINEWRIGHT." ".The Mayor, Liverpool." It was proposed that the town should honour Mr. Iluskisson s remains with a public funeral, and that they should be deposited in the new cemetery; but Mrs. Huskisson, who is in a most deplorable state of anguish, is understood to have declined acceding to the wish of the inhabitants. Mr. Charles Grant has been spoken of as likely to succeed his deceased friend in the representation of Liverpool. Sir Robert Peel has also been named; but nothing definite has been determined on by the parties who generally manage electioneering matters. ATTOIINEY-GENERAL SCA RLETT.--We are glad to hear, that there is every probability of that bitter enemy of the press, and the right of free discussion, Sir JAIIFS Seaman., being induced to tender his resig nation before the meeting of Parliament. Heaven grant so desirable an event!—Berkshire Chronicle. The midshipmen of the French Navy at Toulon gave on the 7th instant, a grand dinner to the midshipmen of the English frigate the Madagascar. The room was hung with the French anti English colours. The dinner began at five o'clock. The first toast was in honour of Louts PutLir, King of the French ; the second wits drank to the health of WlLLism IV., King of Eng ' land ; these were followed by toasts to Liberty, General LaPavErrtt, the National Guards of Toulon, Union be. tween France and England, the immortal days of the 27th, 28th, and £96 of July, and the brave Parisians, who by winning liberty had for ever broken the yoke of despotism. The hands of the ships of the line performed patriotic airs during dinner, which concluded with parading the flags of the two nations through the immense population of the town, full of enthusiastic delight at seeing united in the most perfect cordiality, two rival nations, which, under the renovated reign of liberty will henceforth march under the Caine banner.—Paris Paper. 4 • ; A ' FRENCH -REVOLUTION. , • _ L .% .T ir (From the Dublin Morning Regis's' , of untslay./ L Yesterday the meeting to express tht sympathy Irish people with the late transactions in Folio "2 1 ,, sembled, pursuant to requisition, in Out National ; Mad, belonging to Mr. Home, on Usher's-qttayit TheAtliaro ments for this meeting reflect great credit on the genik men who exerted themselves on the occasion.
