A MONTH IN NORWAY, (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Six weeks ago I took flight from the burning heat to higher latitudes. As I was being borne along by 'the Great Northern express I found a country :not merely metaphorically, but literally burnt up. .Acres upon acres of pasture and tillage ground, miles won miles of hedges lay blackened and charred. 111 the wheat fields adjoining the railway, where the early harvest was being gathered in, watchers stood ready to extinguish the fire which some chance spark from the engine would be sure to kindle. So we sped on through a country brown and swarthy with drought where not actually blackened by fire, and after an hour or two spent in visiting Lincoln Cathedral we reached Hull. The next morning we (my wife and I) went on board Messrs. Wilson's pt ,, amer Argo, and after clearing out from the dock into the Humber surveyed our vessel, her ere*, and our fellow passengers. Of the first I cannot speak too highly. It has Leen my fate to make many passages to and from the western ports of Europe, but I never found the lines f.lll in so clean and pleasant a place as the Argo. The berths not merely looked clean with that outside hypo critical whiteness which so often deludes the passenger into the belief that he will have his bed all to himself— l+elief soon to be routed by the visitation of innumerable bedfellows—but they were clean and absolutely unoccu pied. The fare was excellent and bountiful ; the captain the model of a courteous British sailor; and as for the steward—who that has been to Norway has not heard of John Smith, the best of caterers whdn you are well, the most attentive of nurses when you are sick, and always the best of tempers, with a joke for everybody and everything ? The lady pas- - - stingers are no less fortunate in their attendant. In fact, all that can make a seventy hours' voyage pleasant is to Lo found on board the Argo. We had not a very eventful passage out. The few weak stomachs soon got over their weakness, and on Sunday the sea was so smooth that we nil had dinner on deck, and were as merry and happy as though there were no such thing as trial de mer. But the brightest hours—hours which I shall never forget—were about midnight. The sun had set, yet the gorgeous flush of crimson and orange lingered all the night through, and travelled round the horizon from north-west to north-east, -until about two the twilight brightened, and the deep glow changed to a flood of golden light as the snn rose after its brief rest, and bathed sea and rock with glory. A sun riso on the Italian lakes or among the Swiss moun tains is " a glorious birth," but it will not compare with that long-linked succession of gorgeous colouring that unites sunset with sunrise, and makes of the .two but one. In Norway, too, the sea reflects the splendour of the sky.. The steamer ploughs its way through water that is not green but deep crimson, bright orange, which breaks;into furrows of light, every furrow a rainbow. Never shall I forget the night that we entered Cliristiansand fjord. Going to one's berth was out of the question while sea and sky were thus illuminated with colours brighter than were ever seen in mediaeval missal. Had I been compelled to turn homewards again without setting foot in Norway, I should have felt that the voyage had amply repaid me, so magnificent was this spectacle of an evening and morning that the northern sun thus combined. Christiansand, where the steamer stops for a few hours, is interesting to those who have never seen Norway before, Lut seems tame enough if you pass it on your home -1%, and route. The town is clean and regular, and the fjord is full of low rocky islands which landlocks the harbour. We go on shore for an hour or two, and find the Teeple painfully English in looks and dress. The men are very tall, as the Norwegiars generally are, as much above the English in stature as the English are above the French. 'The women are proportionately tall, but there is no special costume; and dresses and bonnets look as if they had been bought in Oxford-street. We reach Christiania at five on Tuesday morning, having left Hull at ten of the previous Saturday morning. Had I written to you direct from the Norsk capital, and given you my first impressions, I should have painted it in very glowing colours. But on a return thither a month later, after seeing northern Norway, I found the place dull, and its scenery almost poor. These things go by comparison, and I doubt not that a stranger, landing at Christiania, and going back to England by a different route, would eulo gise the place and its surroundings. And in truth they de serve to be eulogised, for the city is handsome, and the vici nity really charming, with its lake-like fjord, and its fir-clad woods. Only, if one uses the superlative degree for Christiania Fjord, what shall he do when he comes to the Hardanger ? Wednesday, July 29, saw us (my wife and myself) set off on our journey into the interior. We knew not a word of Norsk, but we resolved not to cumber our selves with a " Talk " (interpreter), and the experience of ,some fellow-passengers in the Argo, who did otherwise, convinces me that we were right. Interpreters are not the most honest of men, whether they be Northern talks, Southern couriers,'or Eastern dragomans ; and you may be quite sure that if you indulge yourself with one he will not be content with his regular pay, but will help himself through the agency of innkeepers and shopkeepers. We found that we soon learnt enough of the language to make known our ordinary wants. The two words heste (horses) eroks (immediately) were in themselves almost sufficient .to carry us through Norway. On board the steamers there is sure to be some one of the crew who can speak English, and in some places where English was not known German came most opportunely to our The first day's journey was by train (our first and last) for some forty-five miles, and then by steamer up the Lake Mjilsen. There is not much to say of either. The lake is very large, and pretty, with the prettiness of Zurich ; but is not worth going out of the way to see. It was on Thurs day that we made our first essay with carrioles. These vehi cles are like a nautilus shell set on wheels, and with very long shafts. They hold but one person, only behind there is a shelf to which youiluggage is strapped, and on which sits the boy who looks after the horse. Every few miles— ranging from seven to fourteen—you come to a station where you have to change horses and carrioles, unless you have a carriole of your own. Some delay occurs at first, but soon you get into the way of hastening the station master, and by rising early you will get through fifty miles a day comfortably. The horses are the surest•footed animals in the world. They will rattle down all the steep hills and never stumble. No one could be much less of a Jehu than I was when I first took the reins • in my carriole, but I soon found that driving in Norway was the easiest of accomplishments. Many a time I have fallen asleep going up hill and down dale at full race ; I have even slept on horseback, riding in a dark night over a rough stony road. The most timid and inex- Perienced lady driver need not fear to trust herself behind one of these horses. There is one thing that you must not do—overdrive. The Norwegians are passionately fond of their horses, and cannot bear to see tbem Mused. A few days ago an English marquis of sporting notoriety, persisted in racing against another the horse which he was driving. The postboy remonstrated, and got a cut with the whip for his pains ; a second time he remonstrated, and that time received a blow with the butt end of the whip. Thereupon he drew out the dagger-knife which every Norsk peasant wears, and put it to the marquis's throat, who then instantly drew rein. Altogether, it is not safe to reckon upon more than five English miles an hour out of a Norsk horse, and if stoppages are taken into account it will be seen that fifty miles are a fair day's journey. For the first two days after we left the Mji;sen Lake our road lay by the side -of the river Laagen (pronounced Logen). Probably most of my readers have never heard -of this river. Yet it is about a hundred miles long, and in some places two or three miles broad. It runs through the Gudbransdal, a valley of much beauty, but not more than would be found in many a Scotch valley. It was not until after we had. left the Dovrefjeld in our rear and begun to descend the Romsdal that the ret ply fine scenery b e gan. It is here that you see some of the finest moun tains in Norway. They are not the highest, have indeed very little snow on them, but they are of magnificent out line, sharp-pointed pinnacles, deeply-cut ridges, altogether very noble, especially at Aak (pronounced Oak), the place whose beauties Lady Di Beauclerk has lately com memorated. I fear Lady Di has spoilt Aak for travellers who, like myself, prefer to see as little as possible of one's fellow-countrymen. Landmark has become ambitious. He finds his little rustic inn always full, and he means to build an hotel. Ten years hence Aak will be cockneyfied and Romsdalen will be visited every summer by Mr. Cook and a band of tourists. For all that I cannot hold my peace nor refrain from singing the praises of that most beautiful valley, with its aspiring mountain peaks, and grand waterfalls, and rushing river, and greenest of green pastures, and fair-haired women, and stately men. If my readers are wise, they will go there at once—within tha next year or two, I mean—before the flood of excur sionists overwhelms it. At Veblungmeset we took the steamer clown the Romsdalsfjord to Molde, our most northerly point.' Grander scenes than this we were to see afterwards, but only one more beautiful. The fjord consisted of a succession of lakes, bounded by mountains, some pinnacles of rock, like the Romsclals horn, some snow-clad Alps. Here, as in many other parts subsequently, we were struck by the low level at which snow is found. Mountains that seemed at most but a few hundred feet above the sea often had patches of snow on their sides, and others, somewhat higher, had their summits covered. No doubt we were deceived as to the elevation, the mountains were really higher than they looked. Not the less, however, is it a fact that in Norway there are vast ranges of snow-clad mountains whose height is not more than 4,000 feet. We had a glorious view of these from the bill that overlooks Molde. The sun had set with its usual pomp, and the deep flush e ill bathed sky and sea, when right between two mountain tops a fresh light, cold and silvery at first, began to glins. mer, soon to deepen into burnished gold, streaming over the water and the pine forests. On such nights as these one is likely to forget bed altogether. You return home in broad daylight at ten o'clock. The children are playing in the streets till near midnight. You enter your bedroom and find no candles, for there is no need of - them ; and if you go to bed you must sleep without waiting for darkness. Three hours later the sun is up again, a new day has begun, though you could not tell when the old had ended. It is all very strange, very glorious. I shall not soon forget Tuesday, August 4. I have has some experience of heat in Southern Europe, but never have I suffered so acutely as in a Norwegian fjord, only a few miles south of the Arctic Circle. It was hot enough when we reached Aalesund, a quaint fishing town close to the open sea, but when we turned inlandup the Stor Fjord heat, whichwas great before,became insupportable. We were on board an indescribably dirty steamer (I have learnt since that the company which owned it is bankrupt, and that new steamers will be put on next year) there was no awning to shade us, and beneath our feet was an iron floor that burnt the finger which touched it. The funnel vomited forth a black rain of steam mingled with smoke, and soon we were the colour of negroes. To make matters worse no food was obtainable—a serious consideration in A fourteen hours' voyage. In spite of our discomforts we were able to see that the Stor (Great) Fjord was well worthy of its name. Not the less did we rejoice when, somewhere about two in the morning, we landed at Hellesylt, and after rousing the sleepy innkeeper went supperless as well as dinnerless to bed. The burning heat of the previous day had given place to a dense haze that protected us from the sun's fiercest rays. It threw a strange, myste rious curtain over fiord and mountain. Here, well-nigh a hundred miles from the open sea, we were still within the reach of tide. Close to the mountain torrents that came roaring down from the ice-fields there was the line of weed to mark the gentle ebb and flow of the far-off ocean. We took a boat and pulled some twenty miles up a branch of the fjord to Geiranger, surely one of the most extraordinary scenes in Europe. Straight up from the water rise the walls of granite rock, so lofty that even at summer noon the sun does not shine between them. Between the tops of them and the sea—more than 2,000 ft. above you—there is npt a'break—not foothold for a goat. Down the front, with a hiss like the steam from a locomotive, fall the torrents, broken up into spray finer than the finest dust, making all the air around so cold that, while a few yards from them you are gasping in the still heat, within the influence of them there is a cold wind that takes away your breath with its sudden chill. Or turn to the other side of the fjord where instead of barren walls of rock you have mountain sides covered with pasture or forest. There, too, the streams come tumbling down, not falling with one leap, like a veil spread out between earth and sky, but rolling and foaming, and filling all the air with a noise like the sound of many waters— A land of streams. Some like a downward smoke Slow dropping veils of thinnest lawn did go ; And some through wavering lights and shadows broke Rolling a slumberous sheet of foam below. As we glided on hour after hour beneath that strange, mystic light, singing snatches from Mendelssohn, Schubert, and Mozart, or murmuring dreamy lines from Shelley, Wordsworth, and Tennyson, with no sign of life save now and then when some brilliant plumaged bird followed us as though gun bad never awakened the mountain echoes, it was not difficult to believe that the Lotus land was real land, and that we were sailing through it. POLITICS AT FROME. Sir H. Rawlinson, M.P., and Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., have been addressing the Working Men's Liberal Union. The former said that the large gathering before him proved that the new electors were not indifferent to the value of the franchise, and he had no fear that Frome would be misrepresented by a Conservative member. The recent Reform Bill had by no means settled the questions between the Conservative and the Liberal party, and there remained much for the new Parliament to do. Therefore it depended a great deal on those whom the new elect Ors sent to Parliament what should be done. The old compounding system would be restored by the new Parliament, and the first year's work would be devoted to the details of the Reform Act. Sir H. Rawlinson referred to the question of expenditure, and said that if the country went on in the present way national bankruptcy must ensue. He stated that the Tory Government undertook the Abyssinian expedition at the suggestion of Mr. Danby Seymour, Mr. Layard, and himself. With respect to the Irish Church question, he thought it intolerable that a minority should enjoy the emoluments of the entire country. Sir Henry was opposed to a compulsory system of education. Having been returned by 400 electors only, he would wait until the 1,400 signified their confidence in him. This appeal was received with much cheering. Mr. T. Hughes then addressed the meeting. The political life of England had been de&ply stirred by the measures lately passed, and this was a hopeful sign for the country. It now remained to be seen how this new political activity would develope itself. That was the great problem to be solved by the present generation, and the great question to be answered by the working men forming this union. He reviewed the great political questions which had been before the country sinca he was a boy on which the Tories had been on the wrong side. He was not afraid of demo cracy ; he remembered the saying of one of the greatest and best teachers who had lived in this country : "If there is one cause short of the highest for which I would die, it is democracy without Jacobinism." There was now no doubt that we had at last come to democracy, or, in other words, government by the people. He said that weak Governments had been the curse of England during the last fifty years. He hoped we should soon have a strong Government with the whole people behind it. The pauperism of the country was a terrible fact. It told us that we were eating the life-blood of of England, and that no nation could endure it ; and that instead of decreasing it was increasing with frightful rapidity. It required strong, wise, and Christian men to deal with such a fearful question. Another tremendous subject was the labour question. He trusted that in Frome the relations between employer and employed were such as should exist between Christian men, and that they all understood that what was for the benefit or injury of the one was for the benefit or injury of all. He alluded to drunkenness as a curse of the country, and dealt with the question of education. 'We had the noblest literature in the world, but one-third of the people could not understand that literature. The State ought to interfere in the education of children. Mr. Hughes stated that he preferred open voting to the ballot, but if they could not vote freely without it, they must have the ballot. He finally gave the electors some good advice, that they should encourage virtue and root out ignorance, not aping the manners and luxuries of the rich, but enforcing the lessons of simplicity, temperance, and providence. The meeting passed a resolution pledging itself to support Sir H. Raw 'bison as member for Frome. The Rev. Robert Gray, 8.13 . 0., canon of the cathe dral of St. Helena, and headmaster of the High School, Jamestown, has been appointed to the Archdeaconry of Pietermaritzburg and to a canonry in the Cathedral Church of Natal. We are told that there are nearly 50,000 Jews in the metropolis, and that great efforts are now being made to found a Jewish hospital. A committee has already been formed. The subject is being much discussed in the leading Jewish journals.— Scattered Nation. A LESSON TO SWEARERS.—The authorities of Jaszeberen,g, Hungary, attribute the shocks of earth. quake lately felt there to the oaths and blasphemies common amongst the population. Such iniquities are now prohibited on pain of a fine of 25f1., together with twenty blows with a stick. No offender is to be exempt from the infliction of this punishment. LONGEVITY.—A few days ago Henry Atkins, aged 94, Ann Pay, his daughter, aged 72, Henry Pay, son of Ann Pay, aged 49, and Annie Pay, daughter of the last-named, aged 22, went cutting wheat together at Lord Fitzwalter's, Goodnestone, near Faversham. Four generations in a family is at any time a rare sight, but to see four generations of full age at work together must be much more unusual, and says something for Kentish constitutions and Kentish air. PRESENTATION TO MR. NEATE N M. P. —On Wednesday, the 2nd instant, a band: o ne silver grace cup and cover was presented to Mr. Charles Neate, M.P., by his numerous friends, on his retirement from the represen tation of the city of Oxford. The presentation took place in the town-hall, at a luncheon given by the sheriff (Mr. I'. Greenwod), who presided ; and amongst those present were the mayor, Mr. J. E. Carr, the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. W. V. Harcourt, and a goodly number of citizens. Mr. Neate acknowledged the gift fn a feeling speech, which was frequently applauded. A DIABOLICAL ACTION. —Tho Cambrian Com pany has offered a reward of A5O fur the discovery of the perpetrator of a diabolical action. Early on Sunday morn ing some one opened the points near the old stores on the line below the Coney-green, and removed the stop block, by which some cattle trucks were released from the siding, and rolled off towards Liyn , lys. The last train that arrived in Oswestry before the act was performed was the goods train from Welshpool, which was due at eleven a.m., but did not arrive until two p.m., and the waggons were at the siding then. The mail went off as usual soon after six on Sunday morning, and was providentially stopped in time, or nothing could have prevented its dash ing into the waggons, which were on the same line of rails. ...- Oprestry avertiser. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMI3EIt, 4, 1868. TIIE AMERICAN MINISTER AND MR►. ROEBUCK. SHEFFIELD, Thursday Evening. The annual feast of the Cutlers' Company was held this evening in their new hall, under the pre . ... sidency of Mr. Mark Firth, Master Cutler. A dis tinguished company, consisting of the elite of Sheffield and its neighbourhood, was present, among whom we noticed Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Denman, Mr. Reverdy Johnson, the American Minister ; Lord Milton, M.P., Mr. Roebuck, M.P., Lord Edward Howard, M.P., Mr. E. J. Reed, C. 8., Alderman Stone, Sheriff of Lon- don ; the Mayors of Doncaster, Nottingham, Man chester, Halifax, and Sheffield; the Masters of the Cutlers' Company (London), the Master of the Grocers' Company (Lon•lon), &c. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts were given by the Master Cutler, and most enthusiasti- tally responded to. In reply to the toast of " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," Major ALEXANDER responded on behalf of the Army. Mr. E. J. REED, C. 8., who acknowledged the toast on behalf of the Navy, said that he was hardly a proper representative of the navy on this occasion, as he did not altogether belong to the militant branch of the naval profession ; but, although he did not share in its dangers, ho had been for the last five years constantly under fire, and he was not sorry to have this opportunity of making some explanations, which he would rather make in Sheffield than in any other town. It was not true, as persistently represented, that he was an opponent of the turret system. He had de signed several turret ships. He had always been favourable to that system, and had always used his official influence, as his official superiors could testify, to obtain a full and fair trial of it. At the present time Captain Coles was building a large turret ship under his sole supervision, according to his own ideas, assisted by all the skill and ap pliances of Messrs. Laird, the eminent shipbuilders of Birkenhead. (Cheers.) The only hesitation on the part of the Admiralty with respect to this system was that they entertained a grave doubt how far that system was applic able to sea-going ships ; but the chief anxiety of those who were responsible for the navy of the country was to obtain a thorough and efficient trial of that system as quickly as pos- sible. (Cheer S..) When he entered the service of the Admiralty the largest gun on board a sea-going ship weighed 34 tons; there were now ships afloat which carried guns of seven, eight, nine, and twelve tons, and the Hercules, now building at Chatham, would receive an armament of guns weighing 18 tons. In addition, there were ships rapidly ap proaching completion which were to carry guns of 25 tons. (Cheers.) He thought it ought to be readily known that the progress which bad thus been made of late years in the armoured ships of this country could not have been, by any means, so rapid if it had not been for the experiments and the daring enterprise of the manufacturers of Sheffield. (Cheers.) lie trusted that the time would come when the Admiralty would be better able to reward that enterprise than they had hitherto. Lord WHARNCLIFFE responded for the Volun teers. Mr: J. J. SMITH next gave " The Health of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, as the Representative of the United States to the Court of this country." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. The Hon. REVERDY JOHNSON, on rising to re spond, was received with much cheering. lie said —Mr. Master Cutler, my Lords, and Gentlemen, — I return you my most grateful thanks for the kind reception I have met with, and you, Mr. Smith, for the complimentary terms in which you have brought forward my name. You have my warmest acknowledgment. I came to your country, gentle men, as a messenger of peace—(cheers) ; that mes senger I mean to be—l could not be otherwise if I carried out the instructions of my Government. (Loud cheers.) I value your reception the more because it assures me, in addition to the assurances which I have had since I landed on your shores, that you entertain a friendly feeling for the Go vernment and the people of the United States — (cheers) —and I am most happy to assure you, my lords and gentlemen, that that feeling is warmly reciprocated. (Continued cheering.) I spak only what I know, with every opportunity of becoming I acquainted with the sentiments of my country—l know that for no people on the habitable globe is there a kinder feeling entertained by those of the United States than for the subjects cf her Ma jesty. (Cheers.) We are, in fact, by origin and by institutions, one people ; we have a common name, a kindred blood, similar privileges and equal protection, and these, in the language of one of your philosophic statesmen, who taught the world what it was to be just and right, " are ties stronger than links of iron." During the domestic trouble which agitated our land, and which brought to almost every household sorrow and death, differ ences of opinion were entertained, and it was not, therefore, to be wondered at that differences pre vailed here in England as to the causes and the justice of the struggle in which we were engaged. But the struggle now, thank God, is at an end— (loud cheers)—our differences have disappeared, and I rejoice to believe, and every day of the short days that I have lived with you satisfies me that I am justified in believing, that all such differences here have disappeared. (Cheers.) We have be come convinced that we must be one and indivisible. (Great cheering.) Nature by her mountain, and her river, and her ocean has proclaimed to us that we must be one, and I beg you to be assured that, as we are one, that very unity which will , increase our prosperity and power will increase, as I hope and believe, your prosperity and power. (Cheers.) Our political institutions are like yours ; they are fashioned from yours, and in their founda tion lies a deep and never-dying attachment of human liberty. In our hand—l mean in our joint hand—that liberty will live for ever. (Loud and continued cheering.) The troubles to which I have referred, great as they were, sad and heart rending as they have been, have been attended by one compensation. We had an institution, not in digenous to us, but brought to us from a common ancestor—human slavery. (Hear, hear.) Four millions of people were in that condition ; how to abolish it without dangers even worse than those which followed from its existence was a problem. Our domestic strife has solved that problem. Slavery, thank God, is now extinct—(loud Cheers) —and no footprints are to be found on the soil of the United States but those of a freeman. (Cheers.) Dreadful as the havoc has been ; prevailing as the slaughter was, literally miring almost every battle field with blood ; in future times it will be said that all was well spent in getting rid of that blot— not of our own creation, but of that blot which tar nished the fair fame of the United States, and gave the lie to the Declaration of Independence, by which we claimed our right to freedom and liberty. (Cheers.) What is man without liberty ? It is liberty alone " that gives to life its lustre and per fume, and we are weeds without it." Mr, Master Cutler and gentlemen, the political canvass which is now on foot in the United States involves the question who shall be at the head of the Execu tive of that great country, but I beg to assure you from my knowledge of both candidates that which ever shall be the choice of the people you will find a friend of England. (Cheers.) In your political contest in which you also are engaged we have no other interests, whatever the result may be, than that your Government may be strengthened, and not weakene 1. (Cheers.) 'We have philosophic statesmen among us in the United States as you have here, and we look to the continuance of your Government as of itself a security that political freedom is to be our lot for ever. With your Go vernment and ours united in friendship, as I have no doubt they will be through all time, we mty defy the world. (Cheers.) Liberty we have, but it is like your own liberty—liberty restrained by law—liberty which finds its own safe protection only iu the restraint to which it is made subject by law. (Cheers.) Mr. Master Cutler and gentlemen, don't believe that I am a stranger to your association. We have felt you in every form in which man can be felt. Your cutlery, your penknives, and your steel are just as well known With us as they are here, and they have benefited us as they have you. We have, I believe, in some measure, provided ourselves with what is called a table cutlery, but in the way of razors, if I may say so iu the presence of ladies, you best the world. (Laughter and cheers.) We also acknowledge your superiority to us in your steel manufactory. Nothing can be finer and nothing has contributed more to our own success than the success to which you have brought that particular manufacture, and I trust that you will never, with all the skill which from time to time you have ma- nifested, construct an instrument that will cut the cord that binds us together as one people. (Cheers) I have said more, gentlemen, than I intended. I came here not willingly merely, but eagerly. I re fused, or rather I declined, at first, because I sup posed I might be obliged to see her Majesty the Queen for the purpose ofjpresenting my credentials, but the moment I heard that she would not be here as soon as was expected I changed my mind, and the happiest hour I have had is that in which I ad vised you that I should ba here, except that I have been a great deal happier since I came. (Laughter and cheers.) Your Government, my lords and gen tlemen, is dear to us under any circumstances. The name of Lord Wharucliffe should be dear to us Your father, my lord (turning to Lord Wharn- cliffe), was a guest of mine for some four or five days some four or five years ago. It was during the session of a Convention for the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency. He was doing me the honour to stay with me, and he expressed a hope that we should stand together. He was obliged to leave me, and I received a telegraphic communica _ tion from him from Philadelphia, after which he wrote me a long letter, saying that he had never heard the name of the gentleman nominated, and therefore did not know how we could stand toge- ther. (Laughter.) But .we have stood, and I trust that for ever stand we will as long as we can, your friends, warm, sincere, willing, and solicitous to be by your side if you at any time should be in serious trouble. (Loud and protracted cheering, amidst which the honourable gentleman resumed his seat.) In responding to the toast of " The House of Lords," Lard WIIARNCLIFFE, after ridiculing the suggestion of Mr. Horsman for the reform of the House of Lords, said that they had heard a great deal about the unerring instinct of the House of Commons, but they might safely rely upon it that there was also an unerring instinct in the House of Lords, which would always keep it in unison with the public opinion of the country. Mr. W. FISIIER proposel the toast of " The House of Commons," which was responded to by Lord MILTON. Mr. ROEBUCK, who met with a very warm recep tion, said—l feel deeply the way in which you have received the mention of my name. I regret the absence of my colleague. on this occasion, and still more the occasion of it. lam called upon to return thanks for the House of Commons. This I consider a great honour, for I have long been a member of the House of Commons, and I may say, as Grattan said of another House of Commons, that I am now attending upon the hearse of the present House of Commons. The House of Commons has done for England What England will ever remember; and alt hough it may have done it slow'y it has done it surely ; and at last the present House of Commons has admitted the people of the country to its admi nistration and government. Therefore I say we are bound to thank the 1101130 of Commons for what it has done, and 1 take pride for myself for having been a party to it. (Cheers.) So much for thja House of Commons, and now for the present occasion. I congratulate you, Mr. Master Cutler, on account of the distinguished guest whom you have at your right hand. He has come to us, as he tells us, under the belief that he is a minister of peace. He has come to us as the representative of the haughty offspring of a haughty parent, and feel certain that in his ban Is there will be no degradation either to cn3 country or to the other; that there will be no paltering with interests, no sham exrroisions of gran deur on the one side, or of humbleness on the other; but that we shall meet on terms of perfect equality and friendship, but desirous of doing all that can be done for the good of ourselves and of humanity in general. And I hope and I believe that Mr. Re verily Johnson, from his character and his antece dents, will so c.mduct negociatons between this country and his own that there will be no lack of honour ou one side or the other. (Cheers.) Now, Sir, 1 believe that if I Were prudent I should finish ; but I am not a prudent man, and meeting here, as I believe, many friends, I wish to explain to them the feelings of my mind on th e grea t c ha n ges that have occurred in i the government of the coun try since we last met n this hall. Now first of all we must understand and acknowledge that the govern ment of this country is no longer in the hands of the aristocracy as represented to us by Lord Wharncliffe, or of the middle classes as represented by the Master Cutler. The Govern ment o f this country is now the thing has been done and we must e ndeavo ur to meet it. Then comes —whetherth e in on t c h e e a l l ia th n is ds f o a f et from the working_ classes ; we must not ourselves; Iwish to talk to you about expect good or not from equestion we must which it. Now, lam glad to have Mr. Reverdy Johnson on the right of the Master Cutler o n this occasion, because this change has already been made in America ; but, as I believe, made under more un favourable conditions than in England. The cir cumstances have been more favourable in America than in England because of the almost boundless power which it possesses of giving grants of land to all corners, which we have not ; but more unfa vourable because there is poured into America a tide of corruption, a peculent torrent of almost all the vice and turbulence of Europe. We see the wildlrishman, the fiery Frenchman, the assassinating Italian, and the dumfounded Spaniard all going out in one mass, and wishing to fulfil their expectations in the mind of America. This we are free from. Our experiment in England is made with our own people alone ; we have Englishmen, we have Scotchmen, and we have Irishmen, but we have them alone to deal with ; and my belief is strong in the good feeling of my countrymen that I feel no harm will happen from having granted political power to them. After this, no man certainly . will be able to say that we are coerced or misled by the aristocracy, for the government of the country will be in the hands of the people ; and although I believe that this Government will be for the interests and ad vantage of all classes, I wish to call attention to this fact. lam told that in America the better educated classes have withdrawn themselves from political life, that they have been ousted and driven into the background by the vast population which has grown up around them. The educated classes in America have stepped aside from the politi cal torrent, perfectly contented with their lot, and, feeling that they will be perfectly safe, have let political affairs settle in the hands of what we may call the buccaneering portion of society. I consider there' is a great danger in this, and so thinking, I ask you to take part in every poli tical movement. I don't ask you to coerce any body as landlords ; but what I do ask of you is to act upon the principle laid down by Jeremy Ben tham, and to make a great and most pregnant dis tinction between the power of will and the power of mind over mind. The power of will means the power of the landlord to coerce his tenants; that I do not ask you to do ; but I will ask you to exert the power of mind over mind; and, further, I ask you to tell your workmen what you believe to be fair and right—not coercing, but letting them do ex actly as they like. That is in our power, if we do not withdraw from our present position, under a new feeling of inferiority created by the present law. It would be unwise to take up that position ; but tell the men under you what you belieVe to be right, and let it work in their minds, then I believe we shall see what has never before been seen, a people governed by itself. America does not do it, there is a government of a people outside America; but here we shall have a people inside ourselves, and of that people I ask, as I ask of you, not to be coerced by anybody, not to be roiled or frightened by any Trade Unions, not to be anything but Englishmen considering simply the good of your country. (Cheers.) I ask you, working men of this town, to have Confidence in yourselves and in the dignity of your own nature, not to be coerced or frightened by anybody, but do what you think right as your country demands. (Loud cheers.) . Lord EDWARD HOWARD, M.P., responded to the toast of "The Lord of the Manor" on behalf of the Duke of Norfolk, and Earl Fitzwilliam returned thanks for his health as the Lord-Lieutenant of the West Riding. Several other toasts followed, and the company separated at a late hour. 711 E ACCIDENT TO THE 1111511 MAIL -- ABEIIGELE, Thursday. On the reassembling of the Court Arthur Thomp son, driver of the mail train, was called and sworn. He said—l live at Stafford, and am in the service of the London and North-Western Railway Com pany. I have been with the company for 31 years, during 21 of which I have been driver. On Thurs day, the 20th August last, I drove the down Irish mail. On entering the second cutting after passing Abergele I observed some waggons coming towards my train. At first I thought they were on the other line. I was going at the rate of 33 or 34 miles au hour. In less than a moment I saw they were coming down the same line of rails as we were on, and I ghat off steam. I touched the whistle once to give an alarm ; had not time to do more. The first time I saw the waggons I thought they were about 120 fo 130 yards from me. There is a sharp curve at the spot. When I saw the waggons were on the same line as our train I called out to the fireman, " For God's sake, Joe, jump off ; we can't do no more." I then got on the step myself and dropped off on the laud side. I kept on my feel till a splinter of wood from the brake van of the goods train struck me on the head and another on the knee. They knocked me over. I dropped off just before the cAlisiou took place. I did not feel the shock of the collision. I heard one scream from my mate as the waggons struck. I heard the noise of the collision. I saw only one set of trucks coming towards me. I have no idea of the length. I have an idea that I heard two shocks of collision, but I am not sure, as there was a great noise from the steam of the engine. I did not lose my consciousness. The first thing I heard when I got up was a gentleman calling out, " Who has got a carriage key ?" I was not down half a second. When I got up I gave him my key. (It is supposed that this gentleman was Mr. Town send, but that gentleman having left the court there was no means of identifying him.) I could not see the front part of the train in conse- quence of the fire and smoke. I could see three carriages in front of the mail-van when I got up. The fire was just corning up between the front of the mail van and the preceding carriage. I saw some people trying to detach the second mail van from the first by cutting the leathern commu nication. It would have been impossible for any one to uncouple the first mail van from the preced- ing carriages. I was the first man who got off the train. At the very moment I got up I saw that the guard's van next to the engine and the first carriage were on fire. The Assessor—Then how soon was the rest of 'the front part of the train up to the first mail van en veloped iu flames and smoke ? Witness--Almost before I could get out of the ditch into which I was knocked. The Assessor—How far had you to get out of the ditch ? Witness—l could get out at a stride. The Assessor—Then the fore part of the train was enveloped in flames almost instantaneously ? W it n ess—Yes. The Assessor—Did you hear any cry from the occupants of the fore part of the carriage? Witless—Yes ; from the sea side of the carriage I heard two female voices, but I did.not hear what they said then. The Assessor—Then did you at any time ? 1‘ itness—Yes. When I was detaching the car riages of the hinder part of the train from the mail van I put my head under the buffers to get on the six-foot way, and I heard a female voice say, " Mind your own business," I did not see the speaker, but the voice came from the fore part of the train. The Assessor—Did you see who the words were spoken to ? Witness—l saw Mrs. Dickens coming from the front part of the train. The Assessor—But were not the carriages in the front part of the van on fire? Witness—They were just beginning to catch fire at the corner next to the post-office. The carriage then was about three parts burnt. The Assessor—And yet at this moment you heard a female voice speaking ? Witness—Yes. It happened, as nearly as I can say, about a minute and a half after the collision. The Assessor—ls it possible for you to be mis taken as to the direction from which this voice The witness produced a sample of the oil taken from the bulk of that shipped by the luggage train, and performed an experiment showing the proper ties of the oil. He poured a small portion of it into a vessel and dipped a lighted match into it, the effect of the oil upon the light being exactly the same as if it had been dipped in water. When, however, at the request of the jury, the witness held the lighted match over the vessel for a minute or two, a flame floated on the top of the oil, which the witness said:was explained by the temperature of the oil being raised by the flame. It evidently ap peared that if the light had been sufficiently power ful to raise the temperature of the oil at once it would have ignited. In answer to Mr. Wood, Witness said he accounted for the rapidity with which the flames spread in the following manner. The barrels of petroleum were all broken, and the engine driving over the wreck ignited the whole mass as it passed over it. There were about 1,700 gallons in all, and the combustion would be very rapid. Mr. Davies, solicitor of Holywell, said he had been consulted by the two brakesmen, Richard Williams and Robert Jones, as to the propriety of tendering evidence in this case, and after consider ing all the circumstances he had advised them not to appear as witnesses. The Assessor--I think you have exercised a very proper discretion. Ralph Hall, locomotive superintendent, had ex amined the engine of the mail after the accident, and stated that he found the engine lying on the side of the embankment. It had been subjected to intense beat, and the whole of the interior works were incited. Mr. Edwardes-Wood—Was the outside varnish burnt off ? (Laughter.) ' Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) Mr. Wood then proceeded, amidst the manifest impatience of the Court, to cross-examine this wit ness at great length on minute points connected with the appearance of the engine. Mr. Thomas Maguire, assistant engineer on the Chester and Holyhead Railway, produced and proved plans put in on the scene of the accident. It is (he said) 66 yards from Llanddulas station to the Llysfaen siding. The length of the longest line of rails of the siding is 256 yards. The length of the other line of rails is 100 yards. The length of a goods train of 44 waggons, with brake van, locomotive, and tender would be 230 yards. If the longer side of the sid ing had been empty on the day of the accident it would have taken the whole of the goods train. The longer side of the siding is near the main line. I have seen the point upon the rails where the three loaded waggons were " kicked off" from the goods traiu. There is an incline commencing on the Holy well side of the Llanddulas station, and extends towards Abergele station for a distance of one mile and a half. Mr. Lee, resident engineer of the Chester and Holyhead line, examined by Colonel Rich, said— The incline from the east end of Llanddulas plat form, towards Abergele, is for the first 470 yards 1 in 660, for the next four lengths of 20 yards each 1 in 203, 1 iu 147, one in 119, and one in 102. The next length in 1,350 yards, and the gradient is one in 100. The gradient for the next two miles 1 in 112, still falling towards Abergele. When a goods train of 44 waggons was standing with the engine at Llysfaen siding the two last waggons would be standing on an incline of 1 in 100. If the waggons are in perfect order they will stand on a gradient of 1 in 260. A train of six waggons would certainly not stand on a gradient of 1 in 100 unless the brakes were on. I have known the brake of a van to be broken or dislodged by a concussion. The blow might have the effect of breaking the teeth of the brake-wheel, and so wholly releasing the wheels of the van, or it might loosen the brake-wheel and partially relieve the van. If the six waggons and the van had not been stopped by collision I expect they would have run down to Abergele. The point where the collision occurred is a mile and three quarters from Llanddulas sta tion, and the incline is 1 in 412. The accident took place iu a cutting from fifteen to twenty feet deep. From the curve ou the line I do not think the driver of the mail could see the waggons approach ing till they were within twenty yards of him. Colonel Rich—Supposing these three waggons that were kicked off from the train struck the tail end of the train, could they have started the tail end came? Witness—lt is impossible. The Assessor—Supposing that there had been passengers in this part of the train at that moment was there any means of saving them ? Witness—lt was impossible for them to have got out on the land side, because of the fire and smoke. I do not think that those in the front carriages could have got out on either side. I hose in the carriage near the sea could get out only through the windows, supposing the doors to have been locked on the sea side. With the exception of the shriek from my mate and this female voice, I heard no human cry from the burning carriages. By Mr. Littleton—l got a bad blow from the splinters, and am still suffering from the effects of the accident. I went dizzy a bit, but did not lose my senses. I have had some talk with Mrs. Dickens about this matter. I could not distin guish what the other female voice said, though I heard a second voice. I will undertake to swear that the words I heard were " Mind your own busi ness," and not " Never mind me." It was the hinder mail van that I uncoupled. The reason I did not try to uncouple the carriages from the front mail van was that it was too hot for me on the land side. lam certain that when I jumped up I was not further back than the mail van. The side of one of my shoes was burnt. I know Mr. ood ruffe, mail sorter, who travelled in the van. I did not see him nearer to the engine than I was when I got up. I cannot tell whether the engine ran for ward after the collision. (On the question being repeated, witness corrected himself, and said the train did go forward a little, but he could not give the distance.) By the Assessorl—l am positive that when I got up I was opposite the carriage before the first mail van. When I was walking back towards the rear of the train and from the fire some one nearly threw a post-office bag upon me. The front wheel of the first carriage was off the line. It would have been impossible for the passengers in the front car riages to have escaped alive whether the doors were locked or unlocked. By Colonel Rich—l cannot say whether at the time I got up the first three carriages were or were not on fire, the smoke was so dense. It would not have been safe for me to go to those carrirges on the land side. The wind blowing obliquely from the sea rendered the flame and smoke less fierce and dense on the sea side. Colonel Rich—'Then you beard these female voices coming from a carriage before the first mail van when you were stooping down to unfasten the coupling irons of the van attached to it, and at a time subsequent to that at which you believed it to be dangerous to approach the front carriages Witness—l did, sir. After the evidence of this witness bad been read over to him, a statement, in his own handwriting, was put into his hand, and he was asked to say whether he had ever stated that the gentleman to whom he gave his key had got upon the steps of one of the burning carriages. The witness admitted that he had said so. This inquiry referred to the evidence of Mr. Charles N. Townsend, given this morning, in which he stated that upon the driver giving him his key he opened the door of the carriage whence the little girl was calling for aid, and which did not form a portion of those consumed. Thomas Hinton, rear guard of the mail train, . _ was next examined. He said—Upon the collision iof the train, supposing the brake in the van:was taking place I was struck senseless on the floor of my ; properly screwed down and the waggons themselves van. It was 12.45 when I got out of my van, and braked ? at the time the whole of the front part of the train was in flames. I gave instructions to two men to go up and down the line and stop all trains, and as I finished speaking to them I saw Mrs. Dickens coming up from the direction of her own house, and proceeding towards the front portion of the train. I did not see where she went. I lost sight of her for a moment, but I saw her again later on. She was carrying a pail of water oa one oc casion, but I cannot positively say which. I can not say whether Mrs. Dickens or myself got to the front first, but I rather think I did. Suppedog her to have got up as soon as myself, it would not have been possible for her to have spoken to passengers in the carriages between the engine and the mail vans. I saw the last witness, Thompson, uncoupling the carriages from the post-office van. It was after I had been up to the front of the train and returned to my van at the rear Thompson called out to me, " Toat, take off your brake," and I re plied that if was off. This witness, notwithstanding his condition from the effects of the accident, was subjected to a long cross-examination by Mr. E. Wood, the purpose of which was not clear, and which certainly did not elicit a single fact in addition to those brought out in the Assessor's examination. George Wright . proved that Miss Mary Anne Roe, of Dublin, was a visitor at the Queen Hotel, Chester (of which the witness is head porter), on the night of the 19th August. On the following day the witness accompanied her to the mail train, and saw her get into one of the first carriages. All Miss Roe's luggage was labelled by the witness, " Miss Rae, passenger to Dublin." She was in the front compartment of the same carriage that the late Lord and Lady Farnham travelled in, and con sequently nearer the engine. Mr. Humphrey, of Saltney, said he was engaged at the St. David's Works in the manufacture of oil from coal and shale. On the 20th August 50 barrels of oil went from the St. David's "Works to Dublin. They were sent from the works by the " pick-up luggage train" for Holyhead. It was the ordinary quality of burning oil, or paraffin oil. It was called the Cambrian oil. He was acquainted with the properties of the oil. It is not explosive, and no amount of concussion will cause it to ex plode. The application of fire would cause com bustion. He wished to state that the oil would not ignite until its temperature was raised to 135 Far. It is then inflammable, more so than ordinary oil, approaching more nearly to the quality of a spirit. The application of the fire from the engine was quite sufficient to cause the conflagration which followed the collision of the Irish mail. The car riage of this oil by railway was not more dangerous than the carriage of naphtha or strong methylated spirit. Spirits over proof were more dangerous to carry ; strong Irish whisky, for instance, would -take fire more readily and burn_far more fiercely. By Mr. Grantham—There is an act of Parlia ment which requires that this oil shall not throw off inflammable vapour under 100 degrees, which is considered the safety point. He had tested the oil when manufactured, and it showed that it would not fire except at 137 degrees, 37 degrees of tem perature above the safety point. He had never known a case where explosion or ignition ,of the oil had resulted simply from concussion. They had had barrels of the same oil smashed during transit over the railway, and no explosion had resulted. The men in the works did not use covered lights, but worked with naked candles. The fumes of the oil when ignited were not particularly noxious, being composed chiefly of hydrogen and carbon The effect of any large volume of smoke upon hu. man life was almost immediate suffocation. I would burn out the oxygen, and leave nothing bu carbon. Witness--Certainly not. Colonel Rich—Supposing the tail end of the waggons to have been braked, as you say they must have been in order to stand upon this in cline, and the three others backed gently down towards them, would they have set the others in motion ? Witness—l think not. Colonel Rich—ls it not customary to brake waggons when they are kicked off ? Witness—l have not seen it done. It often happens that they arc not kicked far enough, and have to be Ghoved. Colenel Rich—ls it not customary when kicking waggons off to join others on au incline for the brakesman to accompany and brake them ? Witness —lt is not usual. Colonel Rich—ls it not customary when the tail end of a waggon is left standing upon the mainline during the process of shunting for a brakesman to be left in charge of the van ? Witness—Not unless it is upon a sharp incline. All the waggons of the London and North-Western Railway Company have brakes attached. By Mr. Wood —lf an engine had gone after the runaway trucks on Thursday week it would have run down on the other line, and the driver would have passed the trucks and tried to catch them at the first crossing. If the brakesman had been in the van he could have stopped the trucks as soon as they started down the incline upon being struck. A chain or strap with a ring attached to the brake wheel, so as to enable the brakesman to lock the wheel upon leaving the van, is a great additional security. If there is no locking apparatus to a brake it is liable to become dislodged by a blow or concussion. it is not quite clear to my mind that the three waggons kicked off did strike the tail end of the train. Mr. Wood—Then if that was the case the brake van could not have been left upon the main line ill proper order ? Witness—No ; it could not. I cannot say of my own knowledge whether the brake-van of this goods-train had a strap or not. By Colonel Rich—Even if the brake had a lock it might have broke by a blow. The line was opened in 1848. One siding was put in,in the beginning Of 1850, and the other siding in 1864. The distance from Mrs. Dickens's house to the fence wall of the railway is 29 yards. The wall is 4 ft. 7 in. high• This she mounted by a ladder. There is then a slope 21 yards in length, and to the spot where the tender lay is a further distance of 57} yards. At this stage the usual mid-day adjournmen t took place. Mr. Mason stated that the brakeman and the station-master were responsible for the safety of the train during shunting. Colonel Rich said that the brakesman had .everY means at his command for safely shunting th e train ; and that the accident would not have 113 1 )- pened if these had been used. Colonel Sarmiento, who has just been chosen , almost by acclamation, President of the Argent'uo I' public, though he has shown his patriotism and military ability in the field, is chiefly known among his country' men by his labours in the cause of education. Indeed+ he is popularly teraied "the schoolmaster." Ho was born in 1811, the year after the Argentine Republic w t ' a its independence, and is of Spanish origin. 11 ; . regarded the establishment of Republican l ust ' - , tutions as impossible, sinless the people were firs" educated, and spent many years in the United St ate° studying the working of the common school system. A fter that, returning to his native country, he was made suc cessively chief of the department of schools, Senator, Minister of State, and governor of his native province. His election will, it is believed, be immediately followed by the adoption of the:free-school system throughout tit° Argentine Confederation. JOHN CHINAMAN.—The San Francisco .Thatetill gives the following complimentary notice of "John China.' man's" aptitude in railroad building :---"John Chinaman is übiquitous. You see him everywhere—on Vier/ mile—on almost every foot of the road—from Alta' to Reno.
