The Right Hon. Lord Brougham presided, and although the rain fell in torrents during the afternoon, the large room was well filled with a highly respectable audience of about 1,200 persons. Amongst those upon the plat form were Lord Stanley, Sir J. K. Shuttleworth, the Rev. Canon Richson, Mr. W. Fairbairn, F.R.S. ; Mr. Edward Watkin and Mr. E. Potter, of Manchester; Mr. J. Robinson Kay, of Bury ; Mr. Kennedy, one of her Majesty's inspectors of schools ; Mr. Moore, &c. The proceedings were commenced by Mr. Kennedy presenting to Lord Brougham the successful candidates. Lord Brougham then awarded prizes and certificates to 77 male students, and to 15 female students. The three first prizes, which were of the value of £5 each, - awarded -to Charles Smith,. of Burnley ; Matthew Ainson, Rawtenstall ; and to Eleazer Manley, of ournley. His lordship then, in a long address, went over the various topics in connection with education, which he has so frequently and so continuously brought before the public for many years. He also dilated at great length on the value of mechanics' institutes, and took occasion to refer to the remarks which he had recently made before the Congress of the Association for the Promotion of Social Science at Bradford. His lordship's address was received with great enthusiasm ; and, in the course of its delivery, he was frequently interrupted by loud cheers. Mr. H. Chester moved a resolution to the effect that the system of annual public examinations of candidates for prizes, whether conducted in provincial unions of institutions, or as offered to the whole country by the Society of Arts, affords the means of testing the effici ency and stimulating the efforts of all classes, enabling the employers of labour to select from the best-con ducted youth attending them such as showed by talent, industry, mid perseverance that they deserved promotion.

FOR THE _WIDOW AND FAMILY OF, THE LATE REV. C. HODGE, DROWNED IN THE ROYAL CHARTER. - It appears that Mr. Hedge went out to Can terbury, New Zealand, about three years since, with his wife and four children, and was returning home alone when this sad catastrophe occurred. From many affect ing remarks in the diary, it will easily be seen that he was devotedly attached to his family, and often, as he expresses it, racked.with anxiety on their account, lest when I die they should be pinched." This fear, work ing probably on a kind and sensitive nature, seems. to have embittered many of his latter days. So, assiduous and kind were his attentions to those on board the Royal Charter that a testimonial was presented to him towards the end of the voyage, and. about £3O were raised by the passengers ; this, and the little money he had with him, of course, is all lost. Under these cir cumstances much sympathy has been felt for his family, four of whom are 'in this country, and.four still remain with their mother in New Zealand; and some steps man ti >maid F.

At half-past two o'clock a,"cage," containing. six men, was being lowered dawn the pit, while another " cage' was ascending with 14 men who had left off work. A bell is fixed in the engine-houso, and - when the " cagc , " is within a feW . yards.of the surface, rings to signal to the engine tenter to stop the by which time the _" cage" LS at the surfa the men get out. Unfortunately. in this instance, just before the bell . rung, he allowed himself to be called away to speak to some persons at the window, and, while there, the bell rang. He ran to stop the engine, but as it is absolutely neces sary to do this at the very moment the bell rings, he was unable to avert the mischief which ensued. Each revolution 'of the ponderous machinery pro pels the " cage" foitY yards, and the wheel, over which the rope attached to the wcage"Tasses, being about thirty yards from the ground, the " cage" was drawn up with great speed to the •whec‘l, over which the rope was drawing it, and, in so doing, turned the end of the " cage," which is open, towards the pit, When the force of the contact precipitated the unfortunate 'men out of the cage. Six of the poor fellows felt down the pit .beneath, and were dashed to pieces against the sides. of the shafts. Three others fell on the pavement and the framework around the mouth of . the pit, . and were instantly killed. Four thrown in a similar way were Seriously injured, and one escaped in a. most extraordinary manner. • The " cage" in going over the wiaeel left him behind, and he escaped with only a severe shock. The' " cage," having snapped the rope, fell against' one of the beam supporters; which it broke, and then fell with a crash on the iron pavement beneath, a portion of which it, broke into fragments, and was itself, greatly damaged by the fall. The descending " cage was sent with terrific force to the bottom of the pit, forcing its occupants into violent .collisionwith each other, and with the' sides and roof of the " cage," - -the upper roof Of which was also broken through by the falling bodies of the unfortunate men who 'had been thrown from the'" cage" above, and who came down with very heavy force. Although Some of these men.were severely injured, no one was • killed, or received wounds from which it is expected they will not speedily re cover. Lord Granville's .agent, SPI 3- times Bourne, came to the spot very shortly after the melancholy occurrence, and sent for medical assistance, and the poor fellows who were lying about wounded were properly attended to. Some were afterwards sent to the infirmary, where one shortly afterwards died, and one or two others arc not expected to live many days. Th e wounded men in the pit were as soon as possible brought up, but the remains of those killed were . found to be so f r i g htf u lly mu til a t e d and scattered' about, that it was almost impos sible to attach the portions of the bodies. with any certainty as to their identity, and. they were left in the pit Until coffins had been prepared for them.. Up to ", a late hour on Saturday night; the scene of the disaster has been crowded with people, many of whom are related , to those who have been killed and - w.minded ; and, us may be expected, the greatest distrc neighbourhood, where the unfortunate : men . , . resided.

Lindsay's convictions may, during those intervals, without reflection on him, have under gone a change. But his present letter expressly declares that the theories which he then supported, and which I still maintain, were " out of date aoo." Was lir. Lindsay, ten years ag Pre than - fifty years :0, one of those ;hes and t At what date did he change his costume and his prin ciples'? Is the fashion now in vogue better adapted for pockets, and for filling them ? Was the repeal ofthe Navigation Laws—so fiercely denounced by Mr. Lind say in 1849, and so palliated or defended by him in 1859--contemplated, or even dreamt of, fifty years ago, or forty or twenty ? Did the wildest .Pree-trader, in contempt of Adam Smith, their eulogist, and iluskisson their champion, even fifteen years since, venture to sug gest, so insane a measure ? Let Mr. Lindsay, then cor rect his chronology before he again indulges in small ineers at principles from Which he is a renegade. But my opponent has absolutely the hardihood to that my opinions on the particular question on ie are held only by a, few antiquated which we are at gentlemen, while his own are _participated tenths 01 the community It i7cruel to dis self-complacency of tins political Narcissus' to use a phrase of O'Connell's); but surely he must have par taken of the waters of Lethe, to have already forgotten, that no longer ago than on the 15th December last a public meeting was held in London, which an adverse journal described as " unimpeachable in respectability, in numerical proportions unquestionable, and in enthusiasm most . enthusiastic," at which an address to the Crown was unanimously adopted, imploring that reciprocity' which he vilifies and opposes; and that this address was signed by delegates deputed to express the. sentiments of the shipping interest of almost every seaport of the United Kingdom, including the shipowners of Tynemouth then anethose of Sunderland now, represented by him.in the House of Commons. • Mr. Lindsay declined to attend that meet ing, as he now declines the meeting to which he chal lenged me, unable, I persume, or afraid, to defend the opinions in which he ventures to affirm that nine-tenths ofthe community concur with him. Let him lay aside his conceit, and he will perceive that at all events that portioiV of the British community which best understands and is most deeply interested in the question, has neither sympathy with, nor confidence in him. In the name of the shipping interest, whose sentiments I well know, I repudiate his self: assumed leadership ; and disclaim ing all intention of using " hard woids,' towhich he ap pears so sensibly alive, I repeat my readiness to prove all I have advanced with respect to -his-statements, his opinions, his conclusions, and his recommendations ; in all which I am confident I shall have the almost unani mous concurrence of. shipowners ; while instead. of the ridiculous rhodomontade of nine-tenths of the commu nity agreeing-with .him. on the particular subject -? of navigation, I firmly believe that among these whose attention has been directed to it, few indeed will be 'found to accord with his views. him, have ,his sentiments, d time o n n t e s, w a i n th d 3hfirs. bookiin , els t a to the t e I calm commend and impartial judgment of -the Sunderland constituency.- Remaining, sir, your faithful and obedient servant, GEo.
