SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS; The Times remarks that there iteinen in the world who appear to have been specially endowed, by the irony of fate, with an unwavering belief in the completeness of their own range of thought and experience. What they feel everybody must feel. What they think every. body must think. What they believe everybody must believe. They know themselves to be, like Hamlet, " indifferent honest ;" they have no fear that they are in any way incapable of sounding the depths of universal consciousness ; and, as a consequence, they are persuaded that any one who does not coincide in all their conclusions is in a perilous condition. We have not for some time met with a more admirable sample of the truly provincial mind than is to be found in the address of Lord John Manners to the electors of North Leicestershire. It is a perfect study, and the effect is heightened by the unconsciousness of the author that he is in any way amusing. We need scarcely say, indeed, that Lord John Manners has no more intention of being droll than Don Quixote. Virtuous, noble, and patriotic sentiments flow from his pen with the sweetest naturalness. The Times points out that most of the good works with which Lord John credits the Ministry were commenced by others. He complains of the interruption of the proper course of business by a crude scheme for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Church in Ireland, and intends to offer such scheme every opposition in his power. If we are to understand that " every opposition in my power" means " opposition as long as Mr. Disraeli will permit," the assurance is robbed of much of its value. And yet we fear Lord John Manners himself must have some suspicion that this is his real meaning. Beautifully as he writes now about the Irish Church as " hallow ing Government with the sanctions of reli gion, and offering the truths and consolations of Christianity to the poorest of the people," he may be " educated" to recognise that the truth is just the reverse of his description ; that the Irish Establishment has throughout its history made the English Government odious in Ireland, that the poorest of the people reject the truths and consolations it offers, and that both on the grounds of justice and piety it were better to abolish nn establishment which offends the one and hinders the spread of the other. The Post notices that Lord Mayo is to leave England, it is said, in October or November—before the new Par ment meets—in order that he may be in Calcutta at the moment when Sir John Lawrence's Viceroyalty expires, ready to receive the vicarious sceptre from his hands. This unusual act of caution on the part of our present rulers too clearly betrays the motive, The general opposition to Lord Mayo's appoint ment which has been roused involves no personal animosity to an esteemed and popular nobleman, nor even any disparagement of his very respectable public character, and considerable if not brilliant abilities. If there were nothing exceptional and objectionable in the manner and time of the appointment, the selection would probably not have been seriously questioned. There is no reason why Lord Mayo, with his high rank, unblemished charac ter, and long parliamentary and official experience, should not prove himself as good a Governor-General as many of his predecessors, whether of Whig or Tory political connec tion. The appoinment in question is the highest and most responsible in the gift of a Ministry, and is the very last which should have been chosen for an experiment on public intolerance, and for evasion by artifice of the con stitutional rights of an incoming Ministry. The present Ministry may or may not fall in the December session of the new Parliament. if it do not, Mr. Disraeli will be free to send Lord Mayo to India if he chooses. It is the uncertainty—to put 4it no stronger—which makes him despatch Lord Mayo in hot haste, that he may have him across the seas and at Calcutta before a new Ministry can be installed. But this will not prevent, and cannot pre vent, a new Ministry from bringing Lord Mayo back again, rather than sanction a precedent which, designed in short-sightedness for the benefit of one party in the State, violates the constitutional rules and customs of our system of party government. If party government is good and to be upheld, statesmen of all parties must combine to save it from the degradation of trickery and chicane. The Herald answers Mr. Childers and the Times. The Government which spends the larger sum of money may really be the most economical one. When Mr. Gladstone came into office last the national expenditure was about sixty-four millions and a half. He raised it at once to sixty-nine millions and a half. In the next year he increased it again by three millions and a quarter, and even in the last year of his administration it was still two mil lions and a quarter more than at the time he assumed the control of the national finances. The leader of the Opposition of course pretends that there was a justifi cation for this increase of expenditure. His clerk, Mr. Childers, and his organ, the Times, deny it. Both insist that there can be no justification for any increase of expenditure. If there is a call for money for a particular purpose you must provide it, they say, by saving in another direction. Begin by being grossly extravagant, raise the national expenditure eight' or nine millions, reduce it by degrees five or six millions, and although the real result is that the expenditure remains much higher than it was when you assumed the control of it, and that altogether during your tenure of office thirty millions or more have been squan dered—assuming the expenditure at the time you came into office to have been sufficient—Mr. Childers's and the Times argument—you will get the credit of being an economical Minister. Put taxes on, they will not be liked at the time, but the public is stupid enough to forget who imposed them, and if you will take them off after two or three years your supporters will magnify you as a Minister who has reduced the national burdens. The Herald acknowledges that the expenditure has been increased for the present year. Mr. Childers, whose feelings as a partisan and a would-be Minister have not entirely suppressed his sense of fairness and honour, allows that a large portion of the excess is apparent and not real. The Times, which, professing to thoroughly understand the question, is compelled, from sheer ignorance, to servilely use Mr. Childers's figures, with all their blunders—whether due to Mr. Childers or his reporters we cannot of course say—treats the whole excess as a real one. What are the facts? Mr. Childers allows more than eight hundred thousand pounds for the change in the mode of keeping accounts. 'Whether his estimate be right or wrong does not now matter. Then half a million more of the increase is caused by the plan for the reduction of the National Debt, which Parliament almost unanimously adopted. So there is left, at the outside, a sum of two millions and a quarter to be accounted for. The increase in the expenditure is caused by the lamentable condition in which the army and navy were left by the Russell- Gladstone Administration. The Daily News says that the speech of Lord Farnham at the opening of the inquest on Wednesday was one of those wild indiscretions which no grief can justify and no sympathy can enable us to overlook. His threatened representations at the Home Office might probably gain some more respectful attention than like representations from humbler persons ; but if his lordship is weak enough to make them, he will not find the Govern ment weak enough to listen to them. The whole inter ference is an outbreak of bad manners and bad taste. Concerning the accident, the Daily News asks how came the driver of the luggage train to give the three trucks such an impetus as to force back the other two and the break, when he must have known that immediately behind them was the incline up which he had just come, and up which the mail itself would be coming in a moment? Did he reckon on an obstruction from the break ? Was the break screwed down or not, and did the waggons go down the incline with the break moderating their pace, though it had failed to stop them, or without any hindrance from the break at all? If the latter, they must have moved so swiftly that the accident had hap pened within three minutes of the time when the waggons were sent back which began the movement. The blame then shifts a little higher up, and we must ask how it came that a luggage train was being shunted at the top of an incline within four or five miles at most of a train which was approaching at the timed velocity of forty miles an hour. Indeed, the luggage train was not being shunted merely, but was probably being sorted. If it were merely shunted, why should any waggons be left on the line, and especially why should any waggons be sent back to join them ? It has been stated that the luggage train passed Abergele half an hour before the mail. Had this half-hour been employed in sorting and dividing the train at Llandulas station? If so, are not the railway arrangements seriously at fault? If not, what did the loose waggons do upon the rail, and why were others sent back upon them when the ma il was alread y nearing them? The blame of the accident commences here. The desire of the jury to witness a shunting at Llandulas similar to that which took place on the fatal day was a very just one, and the objection of Colonel Rich that it would be dangerous to the traffic irresistibly suggests the regret that the fact of its danger was not discovered before. The Standard considers that of the two brothers of the house of Bright, Jacob is John without his tact. Mr. John Bright will roar so as it shall do any man's heart good to hear him, but, as we saw last session, he can also roar as gently as any sucking dove. Likeavise Mr. Jacob Bright prefers to double his part, and thus at one moment we find him in the role ambitioned by the weaver Bottom, and at another is that forced upon him by Oberon and Puck. His speech is a marvel of audacity and stupidity. Is the fact of the absolute impotence of the Radicals during the Whig regime from 1859, and of the accession of the Tories to power from 1865 to the present moment, the key-note for such a chorus of jubilation as that in which Mr. Jacob Bright celebrates the triumphs of his party ? Can it be paid that the Radicals have dominated the Governments of Lord Palmerst on Lord Russell, Lord Derby, and . Disraeli? Mr. Jacob Bright answers in the affirmative but his querulous demands for measures of revolntion equall=ed by those statesmen concludYelY Aegh• SUICIDE OP A RUSSIAN NOBLEMAN. A very tragical event has occurred at St. Petersburg. Captain R., an English traveller, was quietly sitting at a small table in the gardens of " Ishr's Mineral Waters Establishment " (the Cremorne of St. Petersburg), when he suddenly felt himself bonneted from behind. Turning round and feeling himself insulted by a man he had never seen before, the captain retaliated by knocking off the hat of his assailant, when the latter at once rushed on him, and was about to inflict some heavy blows, when a well-planted facer from the Englishman sent him flying across tables and chairs. The lookers-on now interfered to prevent a continuation of the fight, but the stranger, who appeared to be much excited by what he had drunk, tried bard to get at the captain, vowing that he must either kill him or commit suicide. Both alternatives were, how ever, for the moment staved off, for the police took away the Englishman, who was followed by a large crowd eager to give evidence in his favour; while the Baron de 8., the originator of the fracas, was led off to a secluded apartment, from which he managed to escape, whilst the Englishman was being examined at the police-station. Sad to tell, the wretched young man got into his carriage, and driving over Stroganoff Bridge, over one of the principalbranches of the Neva, threw himself into the rapid stream, and was seen no moie. The story is in everybody's mouth, but no one throws the slightest blame on Captain R., who only de fended himself against an assailant maddened with drink. The unfortunate baron, only 27 years of age, was from Courland, and was well known in society. AN ORIENTAL MURDER. The Levant Herald of the 19th instant, says : "On Wednesday evening last a murder was committed in a house in the Impasse Babylone, in Pera—just below the French post-office—which has created a great public sensation on account of the horrible circumstances attend ing it, and the respectable social position occupied by the parties concerned. A room in this house was tenanted by two brothers of the name of Dimo, both men under thirty years of age. They are sons of a certain Yanco Dimo, once a well-known Greek merchant at Havair Khan, who died a few years ago, leaving his family in comfortable circumstances. The family, however, were litigious ; the property left them was in various manners frittered away ; and the brothers Dimo, against whose character nothing otherwise has hitherto been advanced, became involved in debt. Amongst their debts was one of 1,000 liras, upon which a certain Turk had recovered judgment, and which he had transferred to one Nicholas Anthonocopoulos, resident at Beshiktash, formerly a Greek merchant, but of late practising as a quasi-advocate and homme d'affaires in the local Greek Consular Court. Anthonocopoulos had pursued the elder brother Stephano Dimo for the debt, and had him arrested on account of it, though he was momentarily at liberty on the ground of ill-health. On Wednesday evening last the two brothers Dimo were seen issuing from the house in which they lodged, carrying between them a large box ; the landlord, suspecting that they were furtively removing their effects, stopped them. Resistance was offere 1, the zlptiehs were called, and the box was opened, when, to the consternation of those who gazed into it, the corpse of the unfortunate Anthonocopoulos was found doub'ed up in it, with a pistol-shot through as neck, and the head nearly severed from the body. Ste phan° Dimo, who feigned madness, was seised upon the spot ; the younger brother escaped in the confusion of the moment, but has since been captured. Conveyed in the firstlinstance to the Turkish Zaptieh, they were afterwards consigned to the Greek Consular authorities,by whom full inquiry has been instituted. It transpires that the Dimos had invited Anthonocopoulos to their lodgings to draw up an arrangement for the settlement of the debt, and when there Stephano shot him from behind with a pistol, and they afterwards both mutilated the body in order to force it into the box. The murdered man leaves a wife and chil dren. There is some belief that a third person was engaged in this butchery, who has, up to the present, eluded dis covery. The brothers do not attempt to avoid the facts, but pretend that they were attacked by the advocate, and that what ensued was done by them, in the first instance, in self-defence, and afterwards to conceal the catastrophe. Stephano also simulates insanity ; and there seems no doubt that there has been mental derangement in the family on the father's side. The depositions will be com pleted in a few days, when the prisoners will be conveyed for trial to Syra, the Greek court here not being a criminal tribunal." LAW AND POLICE. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CHILD STEALING.—At the Middlesex Sessions Charles and Bertha Miller, man and wife, were charged with stealing a child of tender age. The case, it will be remembered, was before Mr. Tyrwhitt at Marlborough-street Police-court, when evidence was given to shew that a Mrs. Chard, who lived en unhappy terms with her husband, was in a dramshop with the child in question, which she left for a few minutes, but on returning found it had gone. Four years afterwards the father of the child happened to hear of its whereabouts, and on visiting the house was at once recognised by it. It appeared that the child had been exceedingly well treated by the prisoners. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal, believing that the prisoners stood in the light of bailee when the child, as they alleged, was left in their vosses sion. . _ ALLEGED PERJURY BY AN INFORMER. - At the Thames Police-court, a summons was granted against Sbaski, the man who acted the part of informer in the late forgeries of Russian notes. Mr. Lewis, solicitor, who applied for the summons, said that Sbaski swore that upon the 6th March, 1868, Rewman sent him by post an envelope in which were enclosed two ten-rouble notes. He also swore to various interviews between Rewman, Harris, and Frankel with reference to the post letter. He should be able to prove the letter had never been sent to Sbaski by Rewman, but that upon an occasion when Rewman happened to go to Harris's shop to purchase goods, Sbaski asked Rewman to write his name and address upon the envelops in question, stating that he wished to give it to some friend. Rewman did so, never for a moment imagining the use to which the envelope was to be applied, and Sbaski must have himself posted that envelope, and after wards produced it to the police as if it had been forwarded to him by Rewman. It was by such base artifices the police had been deceived. THE ROBBERY FROM THE HAVELOCK TURF AGENCY. — At the Lambeth Police-court, Thomas Walters, late manager to Mr. Joseph Wood, the proprietor of the Havelock omnibuses, and also of the " Turf Agency," Walworth, was brought up on remand on the charge of having stolen £4Ol 103. from letters which he was alleged to have undertaken to despatch to the winners upon the Chester Cup, in May last. The case had been remanded for the attendance of Mr. Wood and the production of a letter said to have been written by the prisoner acknowledging to his having taken the money. At the conclusion of the case the magistrate said that justice had been defeated by both parties wilfully withholding evidence, and this being so, he had no alter native but to discharge the accused. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT OF £4,000. —At the Mansion House, Robert Cecil Ewen was charged with converting to his own use £4,000, which he had received on account of Messrs. Stead and Co., his employers. The prisoner had the management of the London business of the prosecu tors, and great confidence was reposed in him. He had been employed in this capacity since 1864, but some time back it appeared that some suspicion was entertained that the prisoner was not acting honestly, and inquiries were made, and he absconded. It was then ascertained that there was a very considerable sum deficient in his accounts, the gross total of the deficiency amounting to close upon £4,000 ; and it appeared that the prisontr wrote a letter to his employers, in which he admitted that he had misappropriated very large sums of money belong ing to them, and he at the same time informed them that he had employed their money in some mercantile specu lations of his own. It seemed that the prisoner had spe culated on his own account with his employers' money, and had been unsuccessful. The accused was remanded nrior to being sent for trial. SHORTHAND WRITERS' CHARGES. -In the Lord Mayor's Court, two cases were heard in which the plaintiffs were shorthand writers. In the first case, Duckett v. the General Iron Screw Collier Com pany (Limited), the plaintiff sought to recover £7 25.---25 for 100 folios at ls. per folio and £2 2s. for attendance. Mr. Anderson, for the plaintiff, called his client and other shorthand writers to shew that it was not at all unusual for reporters who went to meetings of mercantile companies to charge large sums for taking notes of difficult or stormy meetings. One of the plaintiff's witnesses said he had been paid without any demur as much as £lO 10s. for taking the notes at a meeting which only lasted one hour, but in that case the notes were required in a great hurry. It was deposed generally that £2 2s. was the usual charge for attendance, and is. per fall° the recognised price for the transcript. The defen dants contended that £1 10s. for attendance, and Bd. per folio was the usual charge. Both in this and the succeed. ing case, where £5 was charged, the jury allowed the full amount. LONDON PASTURES.—A remarkable illustration of the forcing character of the late rains may be seen in some of the more retired spots in the metropolis. lii Oakley-square, for example, large and beautifully green patches of grass have sprung up to the height of two er three ir eles, so that sheep m;ght obtain a better feed there than could be hal a few diy ago ilk - Paany parts of Ewalt THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1868. 7111; ABERGELE ACCIDEN7. ABERGELE, Thursday. The proceedings at the inquest in this case are now being conducted with creditable regularity. The relatives of the victims of the accident have borne testimony to the fact, as their spokesman, Lord Farnham, has stated in open court that they now feel entire confidence in the conduct of the inquiry, and recognise in Mr. E. Eyton an as sessor who thus fas has shown efficiency. Neither yesterday nor to-day has there been any repetition of the disorderly scenes of Monday last. There was nothing remarkable in the evidence of yester day; but a touching incident occurred before the adjournment of the Court. It appears that William Smith,-tile guard, who was killed in the train, and Thomas 'Tinton, another guard, had for eight years been " working," as it is called, the Irish mail. On Thursday last Smith and Hinton spoke to each other as the train was about to start from Chester. The former took his place in the front van ; the latter in the rear van. From the moment he was placed i❑ the witness chair yes terday Hinton seemed to experience the greatest difficulty in struggling against his feelings.; but when, against his entreaties, he was closely ques tioned about the fate of his fellow servant he fairly broke down and gave way to a burst of genuine grief. This morning the foreman expressed the wish of the jury to see a goods train placed at the point near Llanddulas where the goods train of Thursday last is said to have been just before the accident, and also to have the shunting and break operations explained to them on the spot. They, however, expressed their readiness to take the opi nion of Colonel Rich, the Government Inspector, as to whether there would be any danger to the traffic if effect were given to their wishes. Mr. Edwards- Wood thought it would be very desirable to carry out the suggestion of the jury; there was no evi dence so good as practical evidence. Colonel Rich stated his opinion that there would be danger in what had been suggested. He had not, for the purposes of his report to the Board of Trade, re quired that such a practical illustration should be given of the working of a goods train. He believed the matter could be made clear to the jury by the evidence of witnesses. On this expression of opinion by Colonel Rich, the jury did not further urge the matter. It is right to say that the London and North-Western Company have intimated to Lord Farnham their willingness to give the fullest attention to any suggestion as regards evidence which may be made by the relatives of the deceased persons. To-day Mr. K. Salter, solicitor, identified a gold watch found on the line as that of Mr. Lovatt Far rell, of Ellesmere. He has also obtained evidence that Mr. Farrell entered the Irish Mail Train, at Chester, on Thursday. As this gentleman has not since been heard of, there can no longer be any doubt that he is among the killed. would result from burning rather than from other injury. By Mr. Edwards-Wood—He had not the least doubt that the bodies the remains of which he had seen had been burnt. By Mr. Little—lt was possible that a person might have been killed by concussion and still his remains after fire present such an appearance as the remains examined by him presented. When the Court had assembled this morning, Mr. Chawcrth Ferguson was examined. He said he was a barrister and also a magistrate. On Thursday he was staying at Pensarn, and was standing close to the bathing boxes on the beach near the station, when he saw the Irish mail train pass the Abergele station, which is at Pensarn. He looked at his watch, and found it was exactly 19 minutes to one o'clock. He kept his watch in his hand in order to see how long the train would take to get out of sight, as it was going very fast. In about three minutes the engine was disappearing in a cutting, when he saw an immense body of black smoke and flame rush into the air to a considerable height. He iwmediately looked through a pair of opera glasses, when he clearly perceived three of the front carriages enveloped in a dense smoke and flame. At once he rushed to the railway station, where he met the gentleman whom he believed to be the stationmaster. He made a communication to him. Ile immediately stopped an approaching train, and detached an engine from it. A 3 he was getting on the train witness offered to accompany him, but the stationmaster thought it better he should not do so. The sta tionmaster got upon the engine and started down the line. Witness then ascended the bridge over the railway at Pensarn. Up to this not more than eight or ten minutes had elapsed from the time he first saw the smoke and flame. He perceived that the train had been divided, and that the fore part of it was entirely in flames. Some 20 minutes or so after the explosion the locomotive that had gone down the line with the stationmaster returned, bringing with it the latter portion of the Irish mail train. About three-quarters of an hour after the accident occurred a train of carriages went from Pensarn to the scene of the accident ; witness went with it. The entire of four carriages were reduced almost to cinders. The last of them, which he be lieved was the Post-office van, was still burning. Only the flooring remained. The fire extended along the entire space covered by the ruins of the carriages. There was a large number of men en gaged. The heat and flames were so terrible that it was impossible to approach within 20 yards of the burning carriages. He saw one body like that of a man on his hands and knees in the six-foot way. Thomas Evans, a watchman, employed in a siding near Llanddulas, was the next witness. He gave his evidence in the Welsh language, his answers being interpreted by a policeman. He said he was a labourer living in Abergele. On Thursday last be was working at the siding close to Llanddulas station. It was at that time about half-past 12 o'clock. The goods train from Chester was stopped on the line. He did not know the name of the engine -driver, stoker, or guard. The empty wag gons were unhooked and backed into the station. While the men were doing that they left souse waggons on the main :line. The empty waggons had been in the middle of the train. There was a van with the waggons left on the line. When they left empty waggons on the siding the train came from the siding and turned three full waggons on to the waggons which had been left on the main line. The three full waggons were detached from the train, and went of their own accord to the wag gons which had been left standing on the main line. The next thing he saw was the van at the end of the trucks moving. Three or four waggons went down with the truck van. These were the whole of the waggons which were with the van. The three full waggons which had been brought out from the siding followed the others down the incline. No one had coupled them with the waggons which had previously been standing with the van on the line. The second lot went on, he thought, about two minutes after the first. He thought the waggons at tached to the van had been about 7 or 8 minutes on the main line before they moved. He could not see any cause why they started. He was at a distance of about 40 yards from the trucks on the Llanddulas side. He saw nothing touching the a aggons attached to the van. The waggons which had been left on the line moved as the others were corning up to them. He went over the wall and saw nothing afterwards. The breaksman had gone up to the point of the siding to turn the empty wag gons i n. He dii not know whether there was a break on the three full waggons that were brought from the siding. Did not know what the waggons brought from the siding were loaded with, nor what was upon those which had been left with the van on the line. B was going to his work when allthis ir. W hi A so occurred. He saw the b r e a ksman and another man running after the waggons. He had seen trucks left on the main line on other occasions, waggons taken from the sid ingmain line. He had never h had been left on the main a b n e f d r h a e e n sde had epnl a b c e e f do trucksr e o s i w e e ht nhi which line begin to move down the incline. He worked in the same place every day. He did not know whether there was room enough on Thursday last in the siding for the whole length of the goods train. By the Coroner—He had to run after the trucks. They passed the spot where he was standing. He ran round to get over a wall in the hope of being able to get into the trucks ; when the trucks passed him they were not going very fast, but he had not reached the main line, and so he could not jump into them. The distance between the two sets of waggons when first in motion was about ten yards. One of the breaksmen was close to the trucks at the time, but he did not know where the other was. He could not see what the breaksman close to the trucks was doing at the time they began to move. John Pedder, a little boy, aged 12, who is stay ing with his parents near Llanddulas, stated that on Thursday, at about half-past 12, he saw some trucks, without an engine, running down the in cline towards Abergele. There were first a break van and two waggons, and then, after a space of about 30 yards, three other waggons following in the same direction. He had just come past the cutting by the quarry. He watched them for about three minutes, while they remained in sight. Just as the last waggon disappeared from his view he saw a dense black smoke and a flame. He heard the mail train, but did not see it. He had been in the habit of seeing the Irish mail train every day for four weeks. From a place where he was stand ing to the line is 40 or 50 yards distance as well as he could guess. As nearly as he could tell the wag gons were going at about ten miles an hour when he first saw them, but he thought they were increas ing in velocity as they descended. He ran to his father, and they went to the spot where the acci dent occurred. It took them from eight to ten minutes to do so. When his father and he reached there persons were getting bags out of the mail van. He neither saw nor heard anything of passengers in the front van. He saw passengers who had got out of the carriages in the after part of the train. The engine was on its side on the embankment, and the tender was on the up line. He saw nothing of the waggons then, because of the flames that were burn ing, nor did he see any bodies. By Mr. Elwards-Wood—He saw a woman named Dickens going about there, and ho saw a lady whose eye was badly bruised. By a Juror—He saw one of the trucks laden with timber ; but he thought those near the trucks were covered with tarpaulins, and he did not know what they were laden with.. A very extraordinary statement was made by a woman named Dickens, wife of a platelayer, who lives close to the scene of the accident. She swore that she entreated two ladies in two different car• riages in the fore part of the train to get out, and asked one to throw out her child into her dress, which she held up for the purpose of catching it. At this time the flames had made the handle of the carriage so hot that witness could not keep her hand on it, and yet the ladies were not looking at all frightened. One said, " Don't mind me," and the other replied that the children would be killed if she threw them out. C 021.1124501 for the railway company publicly expressed an opinion that all this evidence was pure imagination. In order to meet it the company were most desirous that any passen gers by the train who can give really important evidence should come here voluntarily. All reason able expenses will be paid by the company. Lord Hamilton is to be asked to give evidence. Mr Uniacke Townsend and Mr. Fitzpratt are to be here to- morrow. The inquest was then adjourned. ELECTION IN7ELLIGE?'CL. TOWER lIAMLETS.—Last evening Mr. Edmond Beales addressed another large audience at the Stepney Temperance-hall, Mile-end-road. He spoke at some length upon the disestablishment of ,he Irish Church. He also referred to the manner .n which a Conservative candidate coupled his name with that of Mr. Bradlaugh. He took occa- sion to sly that while no two men could entertain religious views more opposed to each other than himself and Mr. Bradlaugh, yet he was bound to say that he always found Mr. BrAdlaugh con sistent in politics. His remarks were received with much applause, and at the conclusion a re solution in his favour was carried. 11r. Beaks is the only one of the shoal of candidates, except Mr. E.'amud.a, who is making any sign of activity. BIRNIINGIIA3L—From a return published some weeks ago (says the Birmingham Post) it appears that there were, 42,477 voters on the overseers' lists. Supposing that the claims should be sub stantiated, there will then be 47,104 voters on the Parliamentary register for the borough of Birming ham at the next election. In 1867 the number was 13,472. BRIDGNORTIL-Alr. Henry Whitmore, M.P., one of the Lords of the Treasury, and Sir John Acton (Liberal) are fighting fer the one seat which is left to this borough. Mr. Whitmore, in his address, states that the motion for the disestablishment of the Irish Church is supported in the House of Com mons by all those who openly avow their object to be separation of Church and State in this country, and also by those whose great purpose is to aggran dise the Church of Rome, and, if possible, to re establish its ascendancy. Sir J. Acton, who advo cates Mr. Gladstone's policy, has recently addressed meetings in the borough, and resolutions affirming that he is a fit person to be elected have been carried. BUCKINGHA3I.-It seems likely that there will be a severe contest for the one seat which the Reform Act has left to this small borough. At present it is represented by Sir Harry Verney (biberal) and Mr. J. G. Hubbard (Conservative). Neither gentleman seems disposed to give way, and attempts which have been made to bring forward Mr. Hub bard for the county have failed. The present members will, therefore, have to fight the battle between themselves. CHATHAM.—Mr. Otway, the sitting member, having been charged by the Conservatives with proposing the abolition of the lash in the military services for merely party purposes, he rebutted the charge at a great meeting in the Luton district on Wednesday night. Mr. Otway gave an account of his proceedings in relation to the abolition of mili tary flogging. He said he would tell them the story of the abolition of the lash—a story never told to any one before. lie told it now only in con sequence of the unjust and absurd accusations made against him, In 1866, when a Liberal Govern ment was in power, he first opened his lips in con demnation of the lash. In the winter of that year he was in Prussia, where he was brought to a per fect conviction of the inutility of the punishment. It had been found necessary to use it in the recent campaign. He was confirmed in his conviction by a conversation with our military representative at Berlin—a distinguished officer, who had commanded a regiment in war, had seen service during the Indian mutiny, and who was a most determined opponent of the degrading punishment. In 1867, following this winter visit to Berlin, he gave notice on the opening of Parliament that he should move a resolution for the aboli tion of flogging in the army. When he framed his resolution, he took it to the Conservative Minister for War, General Peel, and showed it to him. lie said to General Peel if he would take this matter in hand he had no wish to have anything to do with it, becaus3 it would be better in the hands of a Minister than of a private member. General Peel said it was a matter on which he must take the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief. Mr. Otway then went to Mr. Disraeli, and he must say, in jus tice to that gentleman, that he always received all who had any representations to make to him with the greatest courtesy and kindness. He told Mr. Disraeli that if he would give the support of the Government to the abolition of the lash he was prepared to withdraw from the conduct of the mat ter. General Peel and Mr. Disraeli did not feel at liberty to adopt the proposition, and therefore he moved the abolition of the punishment. The motion was carried by a majority of one, but was subse quently upset by the Government. Mr. Otway gave notice that he should bring forward the motion again, and press it till carried. He did so. They knew the result. Could it be justly said that this was a motion for party purposes ? COCKERMOUTII.—A large and influential meeting of the Conservative party was held on Wednesday evening last at the Globe Hotel, for the purpose of choosing a candidate to represent the party in the approaching contest. Mr. Joshua - Jenkinson, Ann field, presided, and among those present were the Earl of Mayo and Colonel Green-Thompson, mem bers for the borough, and the Hon. P. S. Wyndham, M.P. for West Cumberland. Colonel Thompson, having stated his intention not to come forward at the ensuing election, the Chairman intimated that the Hon. Henry Bourke, brother of Lord Mayo, had been mentioned as a probable candidate. It having been carried by the meeting that a requisi tion should be forwarded to Mr. Bourke, Lord Mayo rose and addressed the meeting, thanking his sup porters for the confidence they had reposed in him during the 11 years he had represented them in Parliament. He alluded to the high office which had been conferred on him by the Queen, and intimated his intention to thank the Conservative electors at greater length and in a more fitting manner previous to departure for India, which would be in November. Lord Mayo then entered into a thunze of the past Session, and stated that the excess in the expendi ture of £3,000,000 was caused by defective military defences, half of that amount having been Caused by the increase of 2d. in the soldier's pay, and the conversion of the Enfield rifles into Sniders. The noble lord having referred to the political views of his brother, which were identical with his own, the meeting broke up. The contest will.be a close one, the chances of the Liberal candidates being some what improved by the retirement of Lord Mayo, who is a favourite with all parties. DEVON (EAST). —The Conservative candidates, Sir Lawrence Palk and Lord Courtenay, addressed a large meeting of electors at Newton Abbott on Wednesday. The proceedings were very tumultuous. The candidates were continually interrupted by ex pressions of disapproval, and after they had con cluded their speeches, both of them were severely catechised upon the Irish Church, the Maynooth Grant, the " levelling up" policy, &c., by some prominent members of the Liberal party residing in the neighbourhood. Sir Lawrence Palk declared he was not prepared for a " competitive examina tion in English history," that his votes were on record, and the hon. gentlemen could find out how he voted. Lord Courtenay replied in the same strain, protesting that he could not say what he should do under circumstances which had not yet arisen. Thes3 answers gave rise to much uproar. A supporter of the candidates endeavoured to propose a resolution, but one of the opposition claimed a hearing first, and the chairman (Mr. W. J. Watts) was at length obliged to give way in fa vour of the latter. When at last a motion pledg ing the meeting to support the candidates was pro posed and seconded, it was met by an amendment, to the effect that Sir Lawrence Palk and Lord Courtenay were unfit to represent the division in Parliament. This was duly seconded, and, upon being put to the meeting, three-fourths of those present held up their hands in its favour. The chairman, notwithstanding, declared the amend , went lust, Nita deciaiou was recayed with loud . THE INQUEST. The inquiry was resumed at half-past 10 o'clock this morning by Dr. Pierce Evans, coroner, assisted by Mr. E. Eyton, acting as assessor. Mr. Littler, instructed by Mr. Preston, appeared for the railway company. Mr. Edwards-Wood, Mr. Goddard, and Mr. Gal braith, solicitors, respectively appeared for the re latives of the deceased persons. After the despatch of our parcel yesterday, Mr. R. H. Scovell, brother of the late Mr. Whit• more Scovell, of Croydon, and of Miss Kathleen Scovell, of Pray, stated that they had been expected by the Irish mail train on Thursday. His sister was in delicate health. In consequence of the cir cumstance their journey home was broken at Ches ter. Ile had seen keys which were stated to have been found among the remains of those killed by the accident to the train. They had belonged to his brother, and a diary stated to have been found under similar circumstances had belonged to his sister. The Hon. R. T. Maxwell identified several arti cles, including a watch and a gold pencil case, stated to have been found among the remains. They be longed to his brother, the late Lord Farnham. Mr. Edwards-Wood said he had just received a telegram from Sir H. Edwards, authorising him to represent the relatives of the late Captain Priestly Edwards. Inspector Hughes, of the passenger department at Chester, said he was personally acquainted with Lord and Lady Farnham. He saw them in the Irish mail last Thursday, and Lord Farnham shook hands with him. The doors on the inner or plat form side were not locked ; those on the off side wer locked. William Owen, brother of the late William H. Owen, of Chester, stated that his brother left in the mail train on Thursday, and nothing had been heard of him since. A knife now produced was one belonging to his brother. Mr. Edwards-Wood said he bad been instructed to appear on behalf of the family of the late William Smith, the guard, and as Smith was a member of several benefit societies, it was extremely important that his identity should be clearly esta blished. Mr. Little said that Hinton, the other guard, was in attendance, and could afford the necessary evidence. Thomas Hinton, of Pancras-square, Camden town, was then examined. He said he knew the late William Smith. They had worked the Irish mail together for eight years. On Thursday he saw Smith at Euston-square and also at Chester. He spoke to him at about two minutes before the train started from the latter place. His duty was to be in the rear van, Smith's to be in the front. It was the duty of Smith to start the train. He did not see him get into the van, nor could he s sear of his own knowledge that he was in it. The driver of the train would not have started the train without a signal from the guard in the front van. Inspector Hughes was recalled, and said that when the train started he saw Smith in the van. Hinton, in continuation of his evidence, said— We are supplied with chronometers by the com pany. I know that the watch produced belonged to my mate Smith. I have not seen Smith since the time on Thursday to which I have alluded. I have been shown what I believe to be his remains. I could not identify them. All I can compare them to is a black dog. I know that he wore a truss. I cannot say that the remains on which the truss has been found are those of my mate, or that those remains were found under the remnants of the break van. The break van was burnt to a cinder. Having been asked by Mr. Edwards-Wood whether he did not think that a body lying across the rails with the head raised was that of Smith, the witness begged that he might not be further questioned on the subject, adding, " Indeed, you cannot know how painful it is to me." The poor fellow then burst into tears, and said, in scarcely audible accents, " For God's sake, let me go, gen tlemen, I can't bear it." He was quite unable to sign his depositions, and amid much sensation on the part of the spectators was assisted from the witness chair and led out of the hall. Thomas Scott, butler to the late Mr. John H. Aylmer, stated that on Wednesday, the 19th inst., Mr. and Mrs. Aylmer, their son Arthur, and Miss Franks left Walworth Castle for Leeds, to proceed thence to Dublin. The gold watch now produced was the property of Mr. Aylmer. Sarah Osborne, maid of the late Mrs. Aylmer, stated that a watch and guard now shown her be longed to Mrs. Aylmer. A burnt portion of silk now produced was a portion of one of her dresses. Some fragments of drawings now produced were from the pencil of Miss Franks. Mr. Lloyd Davis, one of the surgeons who made the report on the remains of the — dead, was then examined. He said he had examined the remains in the coffins numbered from 1 to 33. He could not state the cause of death in any one of the cases, simply because upon examination his colleagues and himself found that the remains were so charred by fire that they could not conscientiously come to any conclusion as to the cause of death. Supposing the bodies to have been those of persons who had been in a railway train when a collision occurred, the appearance of the bodice %mid be ouch as cries of " Shame," several persons remonstrated with him, and in the indescribable confusion which en- sued Sir Lawrence Palk and his colleague left the room. After a tremendous row the chairman mounted the table, avowed that he wished to be mpartial, and said he supposed he had made an " unintentional mistake." A good deal of pressure was, however, necessary before he finally declared the amendment carried, and the meeting then re warded him by passing a vote of thanks for his " impartiality." The meeting broke up in great excitement. DEVON (SouTH).—Lord Amberley has visited several central towns of the southern division of Devon, and has been well received. At Hather leigh, on Tuesday, and at Holsworthy, on 'Wed nesday, large open-air meetings were held, and re solutions in his favour were carried by acclamation. The Conservative candidates, Mr. Kekewich and Sir M. Lopes, will commence their tour on Friday at Tavistock. EXETER.—Mr. Coleridge, M.P., has issued his address, in which he says :—" My course in Parlia ment is before you, and I have a right to say that it has been such as you must have known it would be if I acted according to my professions. I joined with the majority of the Liberal party in turn ing into a reality that measure of Reform which in any of the several shapes in which the Govern ment proposed it would have been utterly delusive. On the great educational question connected with the Universities I shared in the victories of the united party. I have without any hesitation supported the resolutions which affirmed the principle of disesta blishing the Irish Church, and the Suspensory Bill, which, if it had been passed, would have rendered that disestablishment a less difficult and complicated operation. My constituents, of whatever party, will I am sure do me the justice to remember that on this subject 1 have always held the clearest lan guage from my earliest appearance amongst them, and that I have never disguised my intention to give effect to the convictions of a whole life when ever an opportunity might be afforded me. I shall continue therefore to strive for the disestablishment of the Church in Ireland, for I regard it as a matter of imperial concern that the unjust and dangerous system of attempting to govern a great country by the ascendancy of a small minority should be put an end to; and that the Protestant Church, an indefen sible and most offensive symbol of that ascendancy, should be at once disestablished. I am unable to un derstand what is meant by saying that the Royal su premacy will be endangered by such a measure of wisdom and j ustice,inasmuch as that supremacyexists in Scotland, has survived the disestablishment of the Episcopacy in that country, and is found to be perfectly consistent in sense and fact with the establishment of other forms of religion, not always Christian, in some of the dependencies of the Em pire. I shall continue to struggle earnestly for edu cational equality through the abolition of religious tests, believing that thereby education, the one crying necessity of the day, will be greatly ad vanced, while the truths of Christianity will be in no degree imperilled. The many imperfections still left in our Parliamentary system by the Reform Bills of 1867-68 will require to be dealt with ; and I hope that the Liberal party will be strong enough to deal with them, by means of a much larger re distribution of seats, by repealing or largely modifying the provisions as to rating, by the adoption of the ballot, and by some temperate Reform of the House of Lords, with a view to make that House of Parliament as efficient and powerful as it might be, and as, for the true interests of the nation, it ought to be. There are other great social questions —such as the relations between work men and their employers, between landlord and tenant, between present owners and reversioners— which call for solution, and the solution of which I desire to see effected on Liberal principles, and not by men of whose principles I am not assured, for 1 cannot refrain - from saying that the present system of government by a minority, turning the executive into the mere servants of Parliament, is utterly un satisfactory, and ought at once to be Lrought to an end. It may be possible, no doubt, to obtain from the present Prime Minister particular measures which some of us desire, and which with the present Government in opposition it might be difficult to carry ; but such gains are not worth pur chasing at the price we have had to pay for the last two years, in the loss of the political cha racter of Parliament, and in being governed, thought not led, by a Minister such as Mr. Disraeli. I, as a Liberal, in common with the whole of my party, desire the advent to power of Mr. Glad stone, our leader ; not as a man free from faults, for no man is, but as a man of noble powers, nobly cultivated, of a pure and generous life, of deep and strong sympathies with the people, admired for bis talents and respected for the use of them, and of whom we are certain, by repeated past experience, that he will never hesitate to sacrifice power to convictions and office to honour. Such are the principles which if you honour me by your selection I will do my best to act upon ; such is the leader I am prepared, in or out of Parliament, to follow." LICHFIELD.—This city loses one of its seats under the Reform Act, and two candidates are actively canvassing the electors for the seat which remains—Major A. IL Anson (Liberal) and Col. Dyott (Conservative.) MIDIIHRST.—Mr. Mitford (Conservative), the sitting member, has issued an address, soliciting re election. The borough returns only one member, and Mr. Mitford will be opposed by Mr. Daniel Adolphus Lange (Liberal), who has also issued an address. MID-SURREY.—Mr. Julian Goldsmid has ad dressed the tlectors at the Lammas-hall, Battersea, Richmond, when Mr. W. J. and at the lecture-hall, Maxwell, J.P., presided. On both occasions the room was crowded, and the candidate very favour ably received. He entered into a full statement of his political principles, and claimed for the Liberal party credit for the measure of Reform passed in 1867, and for greater economy in the public ex penditure than bad been shown by the Conservative Government. He replied to the charge that the Liberals had brought forward the Irish Church question with a view to popularity and return to power by showing that Mr. Disraeli's Government had themselves challenged the discussion by propos ing the " levelling up" of the unendowed churches in Ireland, and distinctly supporting tne spread of Roman Catholicism by establishing a Roman Catholic University. At both meetings, after the usual fire of questions, resolutions were unanimously passed pledging those present to use their best endeavours to secure Mr. Goldsmid's return. The Conservatives have at present not held any public meetings. NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME.—At a numerously attended meeting of Liberal electors on Wednesday evening a resolution was passed in favour of bring ing forward a second Liberal candidate for this borough. It was stated that there were about 1,500 to be added to the voters of the borough, about three-fourths of whom were understood to be Liberals. The names of several gentlemen were mentioned, and it was decided to invite Mr. M. D. Hollins, manufacturer, of Stoke-upon-Trent. NOTTS (SOUTH).—It is now understood that Mr. Barrow will .not seek re-election for this division. A meeting of some influential Conservatives of this division was held a few days ago, and Mr. John Chaworth Musters, of Annesley, was selected as a proper person to represent the county in the Con servative interest. It is not yet known whether he accepts the invitation. THE KILMARNOCK BURGHS. Mr. Bouverie, M.P. for the Kilmarnock district of burghs, addressed a meeting of the electors in the Corn Exchange, Kilmarnock, on Wednesday ; Provost Dickie in the chair. Mr. Bouverie, in the course of his speech, said that he was the first Scotch member to intioduce the practice of annually visiting his constituents, and he remem bered a Scotch member telling him that he was in troducing a bad practice. He, however, believed that it was a practice that was of advantage, as it enabled a member to clear up difficulties and to keep a clean bill of health with his constituents. He thought he might take credit to himself for having all his life been an earnest and eager Reformer, for he had always voted for an extension of the suffrage When the question was rafied, It was curiow that the three greatest changes in the legislation of the coun try during the last 40 years had been passed by the Tory party. There was, first, the Catholic Eman cipation Act, then the Free Trade measure, and now the Reform Bill. The moral to be drawn was that public opinion is too strong in this country for the party of resistance. As to the Reform Bill, he said that when it was introduced it was ham pered by all manner of securities, but that when it came out it was a Bill very much for household suffrage. In the Scotch Reform Bill the most ob jectionable feature was the proposal to take from the counties everything of the Liberal element. The assimilation of the burgh and county fran chise was right in principle, and we should come to that ; but it would be a troublesome business, for this reason, that the counties and burghs were not equally represented. In regard to the ballot, he had always given his vote for it, as he held it was wanted to protect the dependent and humble voter from oppression. lle the❑ referred to the Irish Church question, and said that Ireland was a scandal and a shame to us. As a nation the Irish peo ple had none of what we call loyalty. That must have a cause, and we were bound to see if nothing could be done to remove that dissatisfaction. Re peal of the Union was a myth, and no rational man would listen to such a proposal. There was one chronic evil in Ireland, that the people were miser ably ill off. They were discontented because they were indigent; they were indigent because there was no employment ; and there was no employ ment because there was no capital to give them employment. Emigration and the Poor law bad been tried as remedies, but there was still the same suffering. The great thihg that was wanted was security for industry and capital. But there was one grievance' of which the Irish people complained, and of which they had a right to com plain—namely, the Irish Church. The first busi ness of the new Parliament would be to remove that Church, which, he believed, would be the com mencement of a new era of advancement for Ire land. A motion to the effect that Mr. Bouverie was a fit and proper person to represent the burgh was carried by a majority. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Aug. 27. Sir William Verner, M.P. for the county of Armagh, has issued an address to his constituents , announcing that he will not solicit re-election, but that his son will be a candidate for their suffrages• The present member, who is 86 years of age, beg represented his present constituents since 1832. In his retiring address he says :—" Great and important events have arisen since I first became your mem ber, but they appear to me comparatively insignifi' cant to the measures which are likely to meet the new Parliament, affecting, as they will do, the Con' stitution of the empire, and especially the loyal Protestants of Ulster. Convinced that my son will not disappoint my expectations, I have without hesitation recommended him to your favourable consideration, with the firm assurance that he wig conscientiously support and maintain the principlee which I believe I may safely say you approved in big father." The lodger franchise will be very unequal in it's result as regards the number of claimants in dills rent boroughs. While in Dublin the registratio n agents have been very active, and have had a large number of claims served, the reverse has bee" the case in other places. In Limerick, for example, with a population of 60,000, only 36 notices have been served by claimants of the lodger franchise' The same apathy is exhibited in regard to the claims of occupiers qualified under the reduced rating franchise. It is now believed that it was the guard of the train who committed the assault on a young WY while travelling in the night mail train between Portadown and Lisburn on Thursday night last. When the young lady first entered the train at a distant station she was placed in charge of the guard, but a new guard came on in the course of the journey, and it is the latter who is suspecte d of the outrage. Ile had been only a short time 0 0 the line, and had not been supplied with the lull' form cap, a circumstance which explains w hy the young lady failed at once to recognise him as the guard of the train. He, however, left an ()MA'' l note-book in the carriage, which led to his ido l " tification. He immediately decamped, and has no since been heard of. Mr. William Scully, who was wounded in tb° recent fatal affair at Ballycohey, is now stated t o b i e out of danger. The ball has not yet been remo ve° from his neck, however, and may therefe re i injuriously affect his ultimate prospects ° complete recovery. The Kilkenny Moderator corrects a statement made in some of the papers relative to the lad e named Roe who was among those killed by tat recent railway accident at Abergele. It states O a she was not a daughter of the late Alderman 1 1°e ; of Dublin, but a daughter of the late Rev. P ets Roe, for many years minister of St. Mary's pa nsy ' Kilkenny. An aggravated case of homicide has ocar rea near Youghal.
