THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING; OCI`OBEA

MI. DOCTIVII; AA. AND EMI coatimrawra.
Last *virgin ass public meeting convened by
Mr. Drab" and Mitasembre for Lambeth, was held in
the large room at the Mews Tavern, Kesaingtea. it uiuer
that he ipt 'gin render Mhi seastitoeata his aural account
of his ulna sod dollop during the make of parlirueet.
No peat interest was assaitested in the roosedinp, the
room when the chairman took the chair sot being more thee
half full. Mr. Janis Pew was called to the chair.
Mr. Donros, is the roans of his address, referred to
the party fight conorted with Mr. Stadeld. He con-
teased that as he listened to those deters, as he maw
the peat coostitutional party leading on that attack, he for
the first time felt *armed of the company he was in, for
earthing more humiliating than the tome and cbareeter of
thaw debates he aver heard in the whole course of his life.
All the machinery of party was brought into operation, and
the attack was more bitter than could well be conceived by
those who were one present in the house et the time. There
were not twenty members is the house who believed that
Marini was in L.vour of sairesination. sad there were DOS
two who believed that Mr. Stansfeld was, or that there was
one iota of 'eider", that ha was. (Hear, hear.) And
yet they found • peat party endeavouring to obtain
place and power at the character, the reputation, and
the future prospects of the youngest member of
the administratioe. He knew they were hungry for
office, for they had carried it in their fade during the whole
of the session, but he mad not have believed that the con-
servative party would have lent itself to an attack so spite-
ful and 10 wearable as was that attack. They knew the
result, and no one grieved more at the result than those who
made the attack, because it kept them from that foe which
they were proceeding. But what was it that prosip'ed
than to the attack Why if the bath must be told it was
clear throughout the whole of that discussion that they
lard now Mr. Standeld as occupying a position he bad
no right to hold. He did not bola; to the charmed circle
from which it was presumed all kgulators spriog. He was
simply a middle class man, and whet his same was men
tioosd it was with the lip of morn. They spoke of him as
Standeld the brewer, as if he were lass fit to he en-
gaged is the commas of her Majesty because he was
engaged in honest track ; and this too from men
whose character would pale before his, and who had
as their eecutoheooe that which no time would efface. But
the greet fight of the reside was of cane on the Danish
question. He was not going to ester on the Slaw*
Holstein question, but he wished to ry one or two words
to vindicate the; course that he punned. There was
totting so way as to nieces a policy when they maw the
results of that policy. If the government had known the
intentions of France, if they could have foreseen the policy
of Austria arid Prussia, if they could have known what was
the secret uoderstandieg with Russia, their conduct might
have been somewhat different. He did not stand there to
say that the ministry had made no mistake, bat after read-
ing carefully the voluminous despatches, he believed that
according to the light they had at the time, they acted in
so manner iscoosistest or opposed to the harm sad the
dignity of this country. One great mistake they
made was to trust France. The most astounding folly they
committed was to believe that the mat who woe his way to
his throne by perjury—(hires)—would remain faithful to
his engagements, unless it served his own policy sad pur-
pose to keep them. What was the argument brought for
against mirrors? That they had threatened when
they did not mesa to strike ; that they red first the part
of the bully, and afterwards that of the coward. But the
mesas., that were made were made when Ragland thought
that France and EMMA& would adhere to the treaty of IBA2.
When they found that France and Russia intended to
trample under foot theengagemento they had entered ma,
the language and the policy of the British ministry took a
diffenet course. They then saw the danger of their por-
tion. They knew what they did next; they proposed a
catenate ; they knew the remit, but was any
disgrace to be attached to the government banes
is their eadeavows they were not successful in all
they undertook? Bat when they were asked to displace
one ministry, and put is another, they asked the opposi-
tion, "Whet would you have done if you had been ia
power r The answer was, not in words but in reality,
Place first, policy afterwards." (Laughter.) They would
Cdte!ea no idea of the policy they intended to pursue.
these party fights they bad two debates on the re-
form question, one in reference to Mr. Locke Kim'e bill,
for the extension of the county franchise, and the other is
reference to Mr. Brine's mane for the salargement of the
borough fraeoltise. The latter was remarkable for the
speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which to his
mind augured wall for the speedy success of Shams priorities
which, as teformers they hold dear. There was only mealier
question to which he would refer, and that was the preser-
vation of the conimota and open spaces in and around the
metropolis. That appeared to him to be one of the great
social questions of the day. He had brought it forward is the
boar, sod he was glad to obtain on it the expression of the
opiaiou of the house which be did. It was his intention
next session to move for • committee to resider the whole
question, and be had every confidence that that committee
would be granted, and he trusted the result would be •
speedy and satisfactory settlement of that important
question. Is conclusion, the boo. member thanked his
crenstitusata for the sympathy and knitter shown him
while he was absent from parliament during a portion of the
sesslen from illness, and expressed his readiness to answer
any question that might be put to him.
No ea coming forward to ask say question,
Mr. J. Faxtras moved—" That this mate' dashes to
express its thanks to FroderickWoultoe, Esq., M.P., for his
seniess during the past nenton, and its combated confidence
in him as one of the representatives of the borough of Lam-
beth in the Cremate House of Parliameat." He said he
did not adorn all Mr. Doultoo's *Woes, but be thought
be had does his duty, and that he deserved well of his con-
Airman.

Mr. H. WALLACI weeded the rceolutioe, which paned
•aaeimomlr.

Mr. G. 111. Millllli the. moved—" That the special
Omaha of this monis( are due, and am hereby tendered, to
Frederick Doultoo, Fog., M.P., for obtaiumg the opinion of
the House of Cosmos, ota the 28th June laat—' That it is
the duty of her Majesty's government to provide for the
preservation of open spaces M and around the metropolis
within the limits areigued by the 14th section of the Enclo-
sure Let of 1845.' " _ _

Mr. H. Porni seconded; end this resolution area like
wise nnanhoonly agreed to, and, after a vote of thanks to
the enunan, the meeting nonrated.

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH ON THE METRO•
POLITAN RAILWAY.

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankeeter and the jury
empanelled on the 14th ultimo to inquire into the death
of a woman then unknown, but who has sines been iden-
tified 114 Emma Jane Gallop, aged 31, • married woman,
who war killed at the Portland-road station of the Metro-
pelimit (underground) Railway on the night of Saturday,
the 10:h September, under most mysterione circumstances,
resumed the inquiry at the toard-room of the Marylabose
workhouse.

Mr. James &rebel', of the firm of Bu chell and Co.,
solicitors to the Metropolitan Railway, as well as some of
the directors sad officials of the osompany, were prompt to
watch the proceechno. The man Powell, in whose com-
pany the deceased was proved to have been up to the mo-
ment of the starting of the train from the platform, but who
previous to the adjournmest of the inquest had not bees
frithcoming, was now also in attendance, as well as Mr.
Prichard, the father of the deceased.
Mr. Charles Prichard, of 3, Crescent-street, Ruston-
square, identified the body as that of his daughter, and said
she was the wife of a chairinakar tamed Hoary Gollop. He
last saw her alive between 8 and 8 o'clock on the evening
of her death, with bet husband at the Adam sod Eve, in the
Euston-road. She was quite sober.
Hoary Gallop, of 15, Earl-street, Limon-grove, said de-
ceased was his wife. He Lot saw her alive standing on the
platform of the Portland-road station of the Metropolitan
Railway oa the morning of Sunday, the 11th September,
about 10 minutes past 12. He was rhea is the trail), into
which he had got at the Gower-street station a few minutes
before. She had been with him and Powell drinking at the
Adam and Eve, and left there about 10 o'clock, to get some
tea and sugar. When he saw her os the platform ahe was
with Powell. The train was in motion, and before it *topped
he called out to her, but did sot think she heard him, and
when the train stopped he saw nothing of her or Powell.
There might have been six or Seven other people on the
platform at the time.
By Mr. Lewis (who represented deceased's relatives)—
When he law hie wife and Powell they were together near
the carriages at the lower sod of the platform, towards
Gower-street.

The Coroner said be nederstood that Powell was precut,
and am he was not aware that there was any charge against
' bim, be oonsidered he had better now be ereauvid.
Francis Powell wan thee sworn. Hs said be resided at
No. 1, Clarendoe-street, Seymour-streak Boomectown, sad
was an organ builder, in the employ of Newer Hill and
Sea. Had been acquainted with the deceased and her family
about nine years. Was with deceased on Saturday night,
the lOsh September. He met her and her husband
at the Adam sod Eve public-boor, and had
some beer with them. He lett them shoat ten
o'clock, and went to the Sore Arms, in Haan-
steed-rood, and bad moms beer. Wheel be cam* out Mrs.
Dollop (deceased) saw him crowing the road, and accosted
him, saying her husband had net her for some tea and sugar.
She the asked him to gin tier somethieg to drink, sad they
went to thermos opposite—the Lord Pelenerstos. She than
wished logo to some more quiet piece. and they went up
Charles-street. near Frederick street, to a house called, he
thought, the King's Arms; there they had four or fin glamor
of gin and water together. They !slithers about aquarter to
12, sad he wished her good night, bat at her orrery they
went into the Cook pulite-hone at the softer of Brook
street and Mary-street, and had some gin. She rioted
bin to ses her home, but he said it was too far, and he wee
too tired to acne all the way book again. Dressed then
sit ad him to go as far as the ratios, and he did so. Os
snivel there deceased rid she would not go unless he
(Powell) went too, saying, "Don't be afraid, I have many
for the tickets." He (Powell) then took two tickets, but
nu not clear whether he took them for the Edging* or
Bishop's-road station. He believed he had some "chid "
with the man who sold the tickets, and followed deceased on
to the preform, and she got op towards the end of the train,
which then began to more slowly, aod oe hie (Powell)
looking io that direction he saw deoared falling apparently
on bee hands and knees. _ _

Coroner—Seeing this what did you do?
Powell—Knowing she wu inebriated I ma away and left
her, fearing she would get me as wail as herself into trouble
and looked op.

By the Co;oaer—l mean by leaving I got out of the statical
se iron as I could. I will swear I did sot get into a
railway carriage. I ran partly up one stairmae, and finding
&barrier I then weal up the other, where there was as offi-
cial taking tickets, and am I could not had one I paid him
twopeoce and pared and west away bans. I believe I
gave the deceased the tickets. Did not know anything that
happessd to dammed except falling on the platform, and
never heard of it tall the Wednesday afternoon following.
Powell was again pressed as to his having got into the
ceaTiane and proceeded to the Edgware-road station, but
positively ant, hsdid not. . . _

Mr. BUrchell said he was is a position to produce positive
evideoce that one of the two tickets Muted to this witness
sod deceased was used that night sod delivered tip at the
gdgware•roed station by some one, and it could not have
bees doomed.

Mr. Lewis and several of the jury thought it important
to ascertain positively whether Powell bad told • falsehood
or not as to the use of the ticket, bus the coroner ruled that
whether the man Powell went out at the Portland-reed sta-
tion or went on to Edgware-road had no relevance) to
the muse of death. It would be differt3t if there was •
charge against him.
Powell, in further examination, mid be believed there was
a guard between him and the dammed when the fell. He
had been drinking since 4 o'clock that afternoon. He could
sot identify the man to whom he gave the twopence, but be
was a taller man than himesU, with • light beard. He
would swear that he never touched the handle of one of the
carriages, or attempted to get into any carriage. He wee
dressed just the same that eight as he was at that moment.
He was aware that deceased was intoxicated. He got home
to Clarendon-street about 20 minutes to 1. He met
doomed's little girl ea the Toraday following, and asked
how her father and mother were, and the said her father
was very well, but the, had not seen her mother that week.
He understood this to mean that the had not called at her
father's, where the child was Keying. Did not ask If the
was hurt by her fall.
John Haydoo, of 23, Heathpool-street, said he was a
pamengar in the train, and on reaching Portland road sta-
tic, saw • female standing at the door of the neat oompart-
mint. She looked back, and beckoned • mat ha supposed
was her husband. She went away, and then came back
while the train was in motion. He looked out of the car-
riage window and saw her disappear, and at the time there
was • guard and porter either holding her back, or helping
her in, he could not say which, and be then raw them ap-
parently bolding on to the clothing of the woman between
the platform and the last carriage of the train as it was
paring. To his belief they were either guards or porters.
Could not swear to seeing Powell.
By the Coroner—Deceased had plenty of time to get
into the train if she had got in when she first came to the
ferriage door. He was positive it was an official or officials
that had got bold of the woman.

Mr. Buichell reminded the coroner that the previous evi-
dence showed that there was no porter on the platform.
The Coroner said he was aware of that, but the point was,
whether them was sufficient time given to the trains at the
stations to set down and take up pessimism He IF AB bound
to say, in the interest of the public, that he had received
several letters o3niplainieg of the practice on this lino of
starting trains so rapidly as to leave passengers who were
on the platform behind, and not allowing time to set down
and take up.
Mr. Bushell remarked th►t the time a train stopped at
each station would he regulated by the number of passengers
rotting in and out
The Coroner inquired if them was any further evidence,
and a photograph of deceased was produced, but the weeper
considered her identity had been sufficiently proved. Having
they at some length recapitulated and commented opoo the
evidence, be said he did not think that any criminal
charge had been established against Powell, but it became •
question as to whether proper precautions were taken by the
company for the Wet: of psemogen.
The jury ultimately retuned ■ verdict, "That the de-
ceased, Rums Jane Gallop, was killed whilst attempting to
get into • train on the Metropolitan Railway, on the more-
mg of the llth September, and that her death was acci-
dental." They, however, appended the following retch:Ake
to their verdict :—"The jury are of opinion that on the
arrival of the train at the Portland-road station, where the
accident happened, there was sot • proper complement of
officials to secure the safety of the paseergers, and room.
mend to the attention of the Metropolitan Railway Compaq
greater caution on this point la future."

FATAL OCTRACL—A Liverpool coroner's jury
yesterday returned a verdict of wilful murder against a maw
named Green, who caused the death of his wife's siat-r,
under the following circiusetances. Oa tbeSth September
• quarrel arose between the parties, and Green knocked the
deceased (Elisabeth Low) down, and after besting her
severely about the face and body, jumped upon her chest
and rendered ber insensible. The poor creeture lingered anti)
Sunday, when she died. Upon a postmortem examination, it
was found that the frontal boos had been fractured, and thee
drives Mtn the whits of the eye ; that the bones of the DOM
had been broken, the cartilage severed, sod part of the
skull driven in upon the brain. There were also other M.
juries. Tile immediate cause of death was iellantaration of
the brain caused by the violence.

AN ANCIENT' a a•vitvLtD.—A very interesting
elimovory has leen made in St. Bomb-square, Glasgow, by
the workmen of Mr. Rankin, coot:actor, who are at protest
seemed in constructing • common sewer there. While
digdiog along the west side of the church, at the depth
of about three feet six inches from the top of the asuaeway
stones, they came upon • stratum of black earth, which
emitted a strong sour smell, of which the lanourars ores-
' plairred very much, and which was mid to resemble the
effluvia from an open grave. A considerable quaotity of
• human bone., of various slam. was found is am bleak
stratum to which we have referred, and which is eo doubt
i the remains of animal matter which bee been deoomposiog

Edward Baker, 21, s labourer, pleaded guilty to stealing
