The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Aglionby, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary read the report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun of Monday. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on the position which they had now attained. The desired concession had been long delayed, and he was happy to say they were now in the position of having an undertaking to carry out which would not only be of great advantage to this coun try, but also to India. Their position in the money market was good, and, having a deep interest in the concern himself, he believed there was not to be found an undertaking which promised such advantages to the public in general and to the shareholders in particular. There could be no doubt that the traffic would be very large and the returns ample. They were all greatly in debted to Mr. Stephenson, their managing director, who had not only originally projected the line from Calcutta to Delhi, but had exerted himself for years to bring about its construction. The line had been surveyed by him, and it was proposed to make a deviation from that originally projected by extending the line from Rajmahal to Delhi. The progress of the works on the experi mental line from Calcutta, which would form part of the main line to Delhi, had resulted in establishing great confidence in the company. It appeared that Lord Dalhousie had no fault to find with their un dertaking, and that the Government thought it right to intrust them with the construction of the whole line to Delhi, being about 1,000 miles in length, and was estimated to cost 10,000,000 1 . to complete it. With such an undertaking intrusted to them, and having the support of the Government both at home and abroad, he thought the shareholders might fairly look forward to great results, and he had no doubt the public would join them in carrying out the undertaking. Mr. J. CATTLEY seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was put, and carried unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a resolution was unanimously adopted approving the bill now before Par liament to facilitate the making of a contract with the Hon. East India Company for the extension of the ex perimental section from Burdwan to Delhi, and for ap plying the capital subscribed on the B extension shares to the execution of the contract for the extension line, and for other purposes. Baron DE GOLDSMID was then elected a director, and, returning thanks, said he would do everything in his power to promote the interests of the company, and he believed that there was not an undertaking anywhere which offered so many advantages, or one more likely ,o realise the expectations entertained by its promoters. Mr. J. Beaumont was elected auditor of the company. On the motion of Mr. CARTER, a vote of thanks was ,iassed to Mr. Turnbull and the engineering staff in India for the zeal and ability with which they had per formed the duties intrusted to them. Mr. BEAUMONT proposed a resolution to the effect that in consideration of the services rendered by Mr Macdonald Stephenson as a promoter of the undertaking, and in lieu of 5 per cent. of the surplus profits agreed upon as an allowance to him by a meeting of the com pany in August, 1849, an annuity should be granted him of 2,5001. per annum, commencing from the present day, and be continued for 25 years and during the life time of Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson, should they survive that period, and be paid out of the surplus profits of the undertaking, if any, every year, over and above the amount of the stipulated dividend. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a ,question, explained that the surplus profits over and aoove 5 per cent. on the capital expended would be equally divided between the East India Company and the railway company, and, as suming that the net profits should amount to 10 per cent. —5 per cent. would go for interest on the capital, and the other 5 per cent. would he divided-2i per cent. to the East India Company and 2I per cent. to the railway company ; and it was out of this surplus, whatever it might be, that the payment would be applicable to the annuity to Mr. M. Stephenson and family for his services. The debt would accrue, but the money would not he paid until the amount, or any part of it, should accrue out of the surplus profits mentioned. Resolutions were unanimously p asse d approving the arrangement with Mr. Stephenson, and authorising the directors to secure the allowance granted by the share holders to him, and to take the necessary steps for the purpose. Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Norton, and other proprietors connected with India, bore testimony to the merits of Mr. Stephenson, and the great exertions he had made to promote the interests of the company. Mr. NICHOLSON, managing director of the Great In dian Peninsular hallway, stated, with respect to the traffic that might be expected on railways in India, that in the estimate of traffic on his railway nothing was put down for passengers, as it was thought the people in the district were too poor to travel on a railway, and would therefore travel on foot ; the estimate was founded on the goods traffic, which was expected to yield 8& per cent. The first section of the line from Bombay to Ta.nnah had been open for a period of 10 weeks, four of the last of which were during the monsoon rains. The line was opened for passenger traffic, and no goods had been carried in consequence of not being ready for them. During the first six weeks the number of pas sengers averaged 1,500 per day, and during the 10 weeks the number averaged 1,300 per day, although the line had water carriage to compete with. The number of passengers would thus average 475,000 per annum, while it was calculated that the number of passengers on the East Indian Railway would be 570,000. He thought there could be no doubt they would have a much grea ter number, and that they would have large profits. Mr. NORTON, of Madras, said, with regard to the estimated profits on the railway, that he was convinced those profits were not overstated at 30 per cent. From his long experience in India, he believed that the natives would be found fully alive to the advantages of railway communication when it was afforded them. Mr. M. STEPHENSON, in acknowledging the vote of the proprietors, stated that he had devoted 18 years of his life to affairs in India, five years of which were spent in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and the last 13 years in endeavouring to introduce rail ways into India. Ile was glad they had been so far successful, and it was very gratifying to him to be able to state, since the works had been commenced, that the Government authorities and engineer had assisted them in every way to carry out the undertaking, and that nothing could be more satisfactory than the way im#which they had been assisted by the Government. (Cheers.) Votes of thanks were then passed to Mr. Noad, the secretary, Mr. G. Freshfield, the solicitor, and to th e chairman and direc tors, for their valuable services, after which the meeting separated. MIDLAND.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes. terday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Daniell in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said ho had great satisfaction in alluding to it. He thought they had no cause for any anxiety respecting the value of their tnffit. The only anxiety they had now was as to how much more they were likely to get when all their arrangements were made to accommodate it. At the last half-yearly meeting they were in a state of transition ; they were now in a state of progress ; everything showed they must advance, and not retro grade. All the traffic of the last six months was de rived from the usual sources ; they had no additional traffic brought from other sources to increase their usual traffic, although it bad increased. With regard to the traffic from the Eastern Counties Railway, they would have it so soon as the terminus at Fenchurch-street was ready to receive it, and it would come on theme ne w ithout any expense to the B lackwall Company. hit respect to the London and North-Western goods traffic to Haydon-square, it had commenced on their line, but as yet it had hardly reached the minimum amount agreed upon, and, as it was of a progressive character, it would require time, not only to develope it, but to make arrangements to accommodate it. They would have to expend 25,0001. for a siding a whinh d other works near Step ne y to widen the line, c was a matter of considerable importance in carrying on the traffic, and there could be no doubt it would re pay them for the outlay. They must do everything in their power to secure the passenger traffic on their line by providing means for carrying on the goods traffic so as not to interfere with it. There were now a certain nu mber of goods trains per day, and unless the accom modation on the line was extended there would be no place for a goods train to stand out of the way of a pas- ' 1 senger train. They would have either to increase the number of goods trains or to increase their length, and in either case they were bound to make all the provision they could for the traffic coming on their line. They would probably say that 2s. 6d. was not the sort of dividend they ought to have ; it might be considered as a homoeopathic dividend. It was certainly far the least productive half of the year. He had told them at the August meeting last year that they would never have so small a dividend again as 2s. The present dividend was 2s. 6d., and he had no doubt they would go on pro gressing to at least double that amount. The delay in the station works, owing to the bad weather, had re tarded them considerably, but he did not think, on the whole, that they would have gained much advantage if the works were further advanced, as the Eastern Coun ties Company were not yet prepared to carry on the traffic. Everything was progressing favourably, and, before they met at their next half-yearly meeting, he had no doubt they would have both the Eastern Counties and Tilbury traffic on the line. (Hear, hear.) After some observations respecting the steam-boat traffic, wharfage, and works, resolutions were passed adopting the report, declaring a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share, and authorising the directors to raise on deben tures 25,0001. for the works mentioned in the report. On the motion of Mr. G. SMITH a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. - 'LEEDS NORTHERN. The half-yearly report of the directors states that they have continued to pursue the policy of raising the means of defraying the unavoidable expenditure on capital ac count by temporary advances and the sale of forfeited shares, by which further calls on the issued preference shares had been avoided. The loans which have fallen in during the half-year have been renewed at 34 and 4 per cent. interest. The traffic arrangement with the York companies, as duly authorised by the shareholders of this company, commenced on the Ist of April last, and the result of the joint working, so far as it has gone, is highly satisfactory. The directors entertain the con fident expectation that, by close attention to the deve lopment of the traffic of the districts traversed by the united railways, and by the improved as well as the more economical working of the lines, the receipts of the three companies will yet be greatly increased, while the interest of the public will, at the same time, be effectually promoted.

NEW YORK, AUGUST 2. The New York newspapers all devote a large space every day to the Crystal Palace, but not a single analy tical article has yet been written on the Exhibition, nor can much be said that would be of service to your readers untl the exposition approaches ~ a far greater degree of completeness. The directors are every day discovering their mistakes, and with commendable diligence and can dour are trying to correct them. The arrivals from Europe still continue, and, as fast as space is required, objects of no excellence, art, or interest, are to give room for better things. The management wisely reserved to itself the right to remove any articles after their admis sion whenever they should require the space. In this manner, objects which had no claim to attention will be set aside and when this winnowing process is complete the Exhibition may be worthy of the inspection of men of science and learning. Strange as it may seem, the American department is likely to be the last to fill up. A vast number of curious and valuable home inventions were refused admission in the beginning, chiefly, it was alleged, for lack of room. But the directors have learnt by experience that Transatlantic agriculturists, manu facturers, inventors, and men of science attached far greater importance to that class of inventions and pro ducts than to almost everything else, since it was in that department mainly that they anticipated the elements of successful competition with European energy, ex perience, and skill. I was a day or two ago informed by a very intelligent English gentleman, that he had al ready seen more labour-saving machines and inventions of American origin outside the Palace (all the fruits of the last two years) than he had supposed could be pro duced by the combined genius of the world in a quarter of a century. So far as the chief contributions of European nations go, we shall have few objects of interest which were not exhibited in London. Indeed, upon a very large num ber of these cases we see the announcement that to the proprietor the medal had been awarded, and, in many instances, the medal itself forms a part of the display. So far our Exhibition is but a repetition of yours of '5l. There might naturally be expected an extensive and bulky display of uninteresting objects from most coun tries, but nobody could have calculated with much pre cision the deluge of second and third rate works of art from all quarters. 'What the gallery of art when com plete may show we can hardly yet say ; but not five pictures or sculptures yet exposed aro above mediocrity. Scarcely five European artists of established fame have sent anything, and they who have contributed have, for the most part, sent feeble copies, and generally of their minor works. But they may congratulate themselves upon a successful riddance of their rubbish ; for in this case, as in all parallel ones, the rich New Yorkers are glad enough to buy whatever bears the prestige of Euro pean celebrity. Our own artists of true genius, and the modesty which always attends it, have, for the most part, declined any competition in this "Babel of fine art ;" and yet it is well known that we have men who have won golden opinions with the pencil, the graver, and the chisel from the schools and connoisseurs of Europe. So far the speculation has not paid. The receipts have hardly averaged 3001. per day--a sum barely suffi cient to cover daily expenses. The interest generally felt in this country is declining ; and I presume the number of visitors never will equal the expectations o 4 the projectors of the Exhibition. But some results we- come out of the entefprise, the importance of which can be measured by no narrow standard ;- 1. Europeans whose arts, manufactures, and indus tries are wholly, or in part, sustained by our markets, will, by their personal observations and direct inter course with our people, derive great advantages from this Exhibition. They will carry away with them all the new ideas America has elaborated in machinery and mechanism, and they will find shortly a very full expo sition of these results in the American depot of the Crys tal Palace. They will learn definitively what we are doing and are likely to do in which they cannot expect to offer any profitable rivalry. They will thus, by keen and intelligent foresight, modify their business plans for a considerable time to come. They will also make ex tensive and more kadvantageous arrangements for the disposal of their products in our markets, without the intervention of multiplied agencies, all of which increase expense and embarrass commercial transactions. They will also, in the Crystal Palace, where they are in almost constant attendance, have an excellent school for learning American tastes what our peo ple like, and what is likely to suit them best. Al ready the great houses of Europe adapt fashions and styles to our markets, with special reference to the prevailing tastes of the country. But they will be able hereafter to do this more effectually. Besides, by making new acquaintances, and learning more about their former agents and correspondents, they will put their American business on a more advantageous footing in all respects. 2. It is equally evident that Americana of all classes will be made more familiar with the arts and industries of other nations. Every day groups of serious, hard thinking, and often hard-working men are seen carefully inspecting everything in the Exhibition which marks the progress of Europe in the arts of design and utility. It is reasonable to suppose that so acute and astute a people as the Americans are known to be will not allow such an opportunity to pass without reaping from it the very highest advantages. 3. A vast impulse is likely to be given by this Exhi bition to the cause of the freedom of commerce. I hear much said on this subject, and the British Com missioners have not been a little surprised to perceive how rapidly the American mind is approaching the conviction that absolute freedom of commercial in tercourse forms the life of trade, multiplies the gua rantees of peace between nations, and diffuses liberal and enlightened sentiments and opinions through out the world. On this subject I shall dwell here after, for I am disposed to think that this Exhibi tion will prove to our country a very high and bene ficent agency for changing and perfecting our financial policy. It takes place, too, at an auspicious period. We are at peace with all the world ; our tariff of 1846, which our most celebrated statesmen predicted would mark the decline of our foreign commerce, and begin the most serious embarrassments to our treasury, has mul tiplied our commercial transactions with every country, given us a profitable balance of exchange with many, filled the national treasury (we now have 23,000,000 surplus on hand), and worked good, and only good, and that continually. The other clay a leading Whig news paper gave us an estimate of the amount of iron this country would require merely for the completion of our railways, making the quantity vastly larger than Great Britain and our own furnaces and forges could supply ; and then the editor, after speaking of the high prices iron must long command, asks, "Can we ask any longer duties on iron ?" The summer months witness nearly all our scientific and literary conventions, and the commencements of all our universities, colleges, and public schools. From their proceedings generally, thus far, it is clearly ob servable that the standard of American scholarship is rapidly rising, while the number of scholars who are passing through a regular and thorough curriculum is increasing beyond a parallel. The only political excitement now grows out of the organisation of an opposition to General Pierce's Ad ministration. This opposition promises to be quite for midable. Many of the ablest Democrats in the Con ()Tess, which is to assemble next December, openly pro claim' their hostility to General Pierce. His Adminis tration has, thus far, disappointed all parties ; he has given satisfaction to no section, faction, or interest, and he finds himself without friends and without support. No President has ever lost his popularity so soon after his inauguration, and nobody supposes that he can reco ver his ground without a choice of new Ministers and the establishment of a policy which will be under stood and approved by the mass of th T e h n e at e i h on ie , f unless, r lastresort wtioth save Mexico, hi s indeed, he is saved by some unforeseen event which w ill bring new issues between parties at home, or a collision with a foreign country. is,or so tha n t le he ot m he a r y s e t t e r , oil as us a ina quarrel wbietihngforeign made sinking fortunes.

THE CATASTROPHE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. THE INQUEST. An investigation into the circumstances attending the late deplorable accident at the new Crystal Palace was commenced yesterday before Mr. W. Carter, coroner for Surrey, and a jury of respectable inhabitants of the ham let of Penge, in the parish of Norwood. The coroner and jury met at ll o'clock at the Royal Crystal Palace Hotel. Among the parties present in the inquest room we remarked Sir Joseph Paxton, director of the winter gar den and conservatories ; Mr. Francis Fuller, managing director of the Crystal Palace Company ; and Mr. Geo. Godwin, F.R.S. The contractors, Sir Charles Fox and Mr. John Henderson, were also in attendance. Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, ap peared to watch the proceedings on behalf of the con- tractors. Mr. Farquhar, of the firm of J ohnson, Farquhar, and Leech, attended as one of the solicitors to the Crystal Palace Company. Just as the oath had been administered to the jury, a painful interest was excited iu the inquest room by the passage in front of the hotel of a poor fellow upon a stretcher, apparently insensible, on his way to one of the London hospitals. It seems that the recent accident has made all the men employed upon the works very nervous : and this morning an unusual noise at one end of the building occasioned considerable alarm. The men near the spot made a precipitate retreat from the locality, and this poor man, while in the act of descend ing a ladder, fell from a considerable height to the ground. When picked up he was found to be quite in sensible, and in this state he was conveyed to the hos pital. The following is a correct list of the sufferers whose deaths the jury were sworn to investigate : William James, carpenter, aged 36 years. Joseph Copping, carpenter, aged 21 years. James Warlow, foreman of labourers, aged 34 years. William middleton, labourer, aged 34 years. William Rolfe Smith, labourer, aged 28 years. John Neill, labourer, aged 40 years. George Topham, labourer, aged 32 years. William Harding, labourer, aged 32 years. William Forman, labourer, aged 36 years. Henry Fielding, labourer, aged 38 years. The Coroner, in opening the proceedings, observed that he had received an intimation of the deaths of se veral persons having occurred in consequence of some portion of the works connected with the Crystal Palace having given way. The first duty of the jury would be to see the bodies of these unfortunate persons with a view to their legal identification. After that they must endeavour to get witnesses to show if possible that these persons were on the premises, and what their le gitimate object there was. It would then be necessary to show the jury, and through the jury the public, un der what circumstances the deaths occurred, "when and by what means," whether any person might, under any circumstances, be made legally responsible for them, or either of them, or whether it was an uncontrollable event. He understood that some gentlemen connected with the works were present who would give them all the facts of the case so far as they might be presumed to be known at present. Whether that would be con clusive to the minds of the jury would, of course, de pend on the nature of the evidence offered. The identification of the various bodies, and the fact of the deceased persons being engaged on the works at the time the accident occurred having been formally proved by two witnesses, respectively named William Wright and Clement Breden, George Williams, foreman carpenter, in the employ of the contractors, was called. He said—l was engaged on the works of the Palace on Monday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock. I saw the deceased persons there at that time. I was upon the ground floor of the build ing, within about 24 feet of one of the columns upon which the scaffolding which fell rested. The deceased persons were upon the scaffold engaged in completing its construction. The scaffolding was composed of wood and iron, properly framed together, and tied with iron bolts. Six of the lower trusses or frames, of which the scaffolding consisted, and three of the upper, were com pleted. We were about completing the seventh bottom frame when the accident occurred. Mr. Ballantine here handed in to the coroner a series of elaborately drawn plans, showing the construction of the scaffold. He said they bad been prepared expressly for the use of the jury, and he hoped after they had an opportunity of viewing the scene of the accident, the drawings might prove useful to them in the prosecution of their inquiry. The plans having been explained to the jury by Sir Joseph Paxton, thh examination of Williams was con tinued. The scaffolding consists of a series of trusses, which are in turn composed of a number of struts tied together with iron plates, and secured by rivets. It is about a month since the construction of this scaffold commenced, and it has been in course of erection from that time. It was put up for the purpose of raising the iron ribs in tended to form the roof of the central transept. The various parts were prepared below and put together above. They were put together by men acting under myself ; I, in turn, receiving my orders from Mr. Coch rane, the general superintendent of the works. The - workmen had put in the last strut, and were in the act of completing the seventh truss, when the whole of the three lower trusses, with the planks and fittings be longing to them, fell together. I heard a crash of some thing giving way, and looking up saw the scaffold fall. It fell close to where I was standing. I have no means of knowing what portion gave way first. When I saw it falling, I had enough to do to get out of the way. The three trusses fell together. Only a few pieces of broken wood fell after the main crush. The four other trusses remained in their places, and are still as firm as ever. The parties who are dead were all engaged upon the trusses when the accident occurred. They fell a depth of 102 feet. At this juncture, the coroner and jury proceeded to view the bodies of the deceased persons—a formality, which, in deference to the feelings of the workmen employed, had at the suggestion of the foreman of the jury been de layed until the dinner hour, when the building was com paratively clear of the employees. The bodies were all lying in a ghastly circle in one of the offices under the roof the new palace. After a hurried survey of the sick ening spectacle, the coroner and jury accompanied Sir Charles Fox and Mr. Henderson into one of the galleries overlooking the central transept, where they listened to a lucid explanation of the mode of construct ing the scaffold and throwing over the iron ribs. The disastrous effects of the accident were still painfully visible on every side. In the transept a large space was covered by the debris of the fallen trusses, which in several places had penetrated the flooring and formed a mass of broken timbers towering far above it. In the central nave, buried beneath an immense quantity of heavy beams and iron work might still be seen the carcases of two fine horses crushed by the falling materials ; while, looking upwards, was observed the broken and jagged ends of the timbers forming the connexion between the fourth and fifth trusses, evidencing the violent strain which must have been sustained by the remaining por tion when the three inner trusses fell. On the return of the jury to the inquest room the ex amination of Williams was again proceeded with. He said—l have been employed upon the works ever since their commencement. My duty was to superintend the carpenter's work. I have had experience in similar works, and was engaged in the same capacity at the Great Exhibition building in Hyde-park. It was my duty to select the wood for forming the trusses. It was all new, and the best quality of Dantzic pine. The iron used was also of the best quality. No portion of the materials forming the trusses came from the old building in Hyde-park. The iron columns used in the erection of the present palace are from the building in Hyde-park— that is, a great many of them. None of those upon which the trusses stood have given way. Three of the one tprauisrs ofe s had been c ribs have av e e e b e arr e nt i h e r d up o wn over he entire them.

Foreman—Had you received any intimation from any person, or had any remark been made to you, indicating an apprehension of danger on the part of the workmen —No, sir. Foreman—l should tell you this has been an outdoor remark, and therefore I put it to you. H as any man employed upon the works withdrawn within the last week or ten days, in consequence of any fear expressed of the safety of the scaffolding 7—Not from the part of the building where the accident occurred. We dis charged one employed on this part one day last week. Foreman—But none have withdrawn voluntarily None. Coroner—l have heard it remarked that some men have left their work in consequence of having found themselves giddy when employed at a great height. Is that so ?—Yes. In other parts of the buildinc , many men have been af ra id t o wor k a t th e ne cessary height. There are plenty of men who have not got nerve enough to go off the ground. Coroner—That is only a personal feeling, and has no reference to the stability of the building. None what ever. Foreman—Then you mean to say that none of the men have left their work from fear of being employed at so great a height at the part of the building where the accident occurred ?—lf they have they have not made it known to myself. Coroner—Looking to the circumstances, do you con sider this to have been an unforeseen accident, and one which ordinary forethought could not have accounted for ?—lt was quite unforeseen, and I can't account for it. Foreman--Did not a similar accident occur at the same part of the building about a month ago ?—Yes, a portion of the scaffolding then put up was not strong enough as we considered afterwards. It gave way, and carried down with it three of the trusses. Foreman —Everything fell then I believe ?—Yes, all that was then up came down. Coroner —There was some imperfection then in the scaffolding ?—Yes ; we have since made the trusses of double strength to prevent future accident. Foreman—How does it occur that on that occasion when there were 70 men at work on the scaffolding they had 20 minutes' warning, and were all able to make their escape, whilst in this case, the whole came down together ?—That is just what I can't answer. If I could tell you that, I could tell you where the accident began, and perhaps how it arose. ~. Foreman—Have any of the iron pillars, upon which the trusses rest, given way ?—No, they are all perfect, and the building is as secure as ever. Coroner—l will ask you again, and pray speak your mind freely, whether your experience enables you to tell which portion of the structure gave way first—Can you define that ?—I can't. It is quite a mystery to me. I can't " dissolve " which part gave way first. Coroner—Are those trusses which fell the same weight as those which remain standing ?—Yes, they were the same weight, and the same material, and rested upon the same description of bearings. Sir Charles Fox—They were all executed from the same drawings. Coroner—Then, if those stood with the additional weight of the circular iron rib resting upon them, how is it that these others should have given way, when there was no weight upon them ? Witness —That is the point I can't explain. In answer to other questions from the coroner and jury, the witness said the trusses are intended as centres for carrying over the iron ribs forming the arch, and they would be removed upon the completion of the roof. These trusses are constructed by piecework, and any work which is not properly executed has to be done again at the expense of the party who u n d er t a k es to make them. I sublet the work to others. The materials are found by the contractors. We employ labourers i n fixing. I prefer labourers to regular carpenters or mechanics, because they are more active, and more used to this kind of work. Besides, you would not find one man in fifty or experienced mechanics and joiners who would go so high off the ground. We construct the work, as far as possible, below, and all the fixing required is to put the bolts in and screw them up, which any labourer is competent to do. The bolts are all inspected before use. They are i-inch bolts ; half an inch would be quite enough, but we put in extra strength. The bolts are tied with nuts. No portion of the weight would fall upon any particular screw or screws, but upon the extreme ends, which are, in fact, the columns. It is impossible the labourers could have forgotten to put in the necessary bolts, be cause if so the whole strut would not have maintained its position, nor should we have been able to move it. I have made an examination since, and I find the bolts are there still. They have doubled up, and bent in a remarkable manner, but they are not snapped. The trusses which gave way fell over and inwards towards the centre of the building. They did not collapse and drop perpendicularly. Foreman—Then I presume the first strut fell in con sequence of its not having been properly connected with the others ? Witness—No, it was not so. Foreman—Then did it arise from any careless move ment of the strut ? Sir Charles Fox—No, this could not be. This seventh strut was not quite completed, and was not to have been moved until the next day. Foreman—How long had this seventh strut been in the same position ? . Witness—For some days during its formation. Foreman—That makes it all the more unaccountable that it should have fallen when it did ? —lt is perfectly unaccountable. Everything was in its proper place, and all the fixing was finished except one bolt, which a man had just gone up to screw in. I saw him come along the scaffold in the direction of the seventh strut the mo ment before it fell, and he came down with it. Coroner—ls he alive f—No, he is among the sufferers. Mr. Ballantine said he understood some of the jury had expressed a desire to have the evidence of one of the wounded men who was lying at Guy's Hospital. As, however, that man could not be called at present, he stated that Sir Charles Fox had seen him and had had some conversation with him, but he was quite unable to account for the accident. Sir Charles was quite ready to give his evidence to that effect. Sir Charles Fox said—l saw the man in question last night at Guy's Hospital, whither I went, accompanied by Mr. Cobb. I asked him if he could give me any idea of the cause of the accident. He replied, "No ; I can't say at all what part gave way. I think it must have arisen from the great weight of iron resting on the Platform." I said, "Then you consider it is all down." ~ oh !" he said, " it's all down—every bit. " There," I said, "you are mistaken." He added that when he got about half wav down he became insensible. He was taken out of the place and never recovered his senses until he got into the stores. Coroner—Then you think he can throw no light upon the affair at all. Sir Charles Fox—Not the slightest, lam sure. He said in conversation to me, " Well, if it is not all down, I don't understand it at all." I said, "There are three trusses down, and those are the three that you last fixed." He said, " Then I cannot understand it at all." That is all that passed between us. Coroner—lf the man recovers, and the jury think it desirable, we will of course take his evidence. Foreman—After what Sir Charles Fox has told us, I cannot conceive that his evidence would be important. The Coroner at this stage of the proceedings suggested an adjournment. Sir Joseph Paxton had kindly con sented to go over the building, and on their next as sembling he would be ready to offer his evidence to the jury. He was himself anxious to facilitate the inquiry as much as possible, but he regretted that another im portant engagement that afternoon necessitated his pre sence elsewhere. A juror said lie thought it would be desirable that upon their next assembling some independent surveyor should be called before them. The Coroner said that observation placed him rather in a difficulty. He did not know that he was entitled to call upon any person to make an examination of the building, or to give evidence. The Legislature had g i ven him no powers of paying such a gentleman. Theju had better hear first the evidence that would be adduced, and then, if necessary, he would a dd ress a specia l appli cation to the Secretary of State on the subject. Y would Mr. Ballantine said if th e jur wo ldnow name any gentleman—Mr. Brunel o r any one else they pleased— the contractors an d the company would afford works,everyrdhimand . opportunity of going o ver th e whole ofath of making the m os t m i nute inve stigation. A. juror said o ne c i rcumstance pressed itself most un comfortably on his mind, and that was that two similar scaffoldings had fallen in the same place. Mr. Ballanti ne sa id he might mention,. as no doubt it would be satisfa c t ory to the public and to the court, that although Messrs. Fox and Henderson had no reason to doubt the propriety of the steps which had been takento form the scaffolding to which the accident occurred, they would not allow any, the slightest, risk to be run in future; and the firm had given orders that the scaffolding for the completion of' the roof should proceed directly from the ground, so as to provide a support from the basement, in addition to the support which it already bad. T lii ,. s . . had been determined upon in consequence of the (nu' culty of accounting for the accident. r of Coroner—l understand from Sir Cha rles F ox tha n tio t the most unaccountable circumstance is, that this Po the scaffolding should have give n way without the whole falling in. Sir Charles Fox—When I heard of it fir st, 1 a m sure it must be I said a ' n ' el Co w m a e s told that only three trusses were down, . tell me all—out with it at once— ethtreussesall down." I thought that re could have fallen without bringingrtiondoofwth mainder. any ar chitect or scientific Coroner—Do you think if self person were to se e the builourding he could account for the accident any better than y ir, I think it quite impossible, Sir Charles Fox —N ! --s the trusses that be fallen are so completely broken up. In fact, th e re is the sam e difficulty here as in the case of railway, accidents. At the same time, we should be to have the cause ascertained, because extremely tis happy of the greatest importance to us to know how the accident originated. The proceedings were here terminated by the coroner giving his warrant for the interment of the sufferers, in reference to the disposal of whose remains Mr. Ballan tine stated that it was the desire of the contractors that the wishes of the relatives should be consulted. In reply to the summoning officer, the Coroner said lie did not consider medical testimony would be neces sary in either of the cases. Lord Denman had, some time since, decided that medical evidence was unneces sary where the cause of death was palpable. It was not requisite in such cases to go into the minutiae of details. The jury were then bound over to meet at the same place on Friday (to-morrow), for the further prosecution of the inquiry. ;...~-_ ItoyAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. LtK PATRON—H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT.
