LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6.-

it accompanies the grant with conditions
which oblige those who accept it to a continual
warfare with noxious influences. The whole
history of the repreeentation of Oxford confirms
this view. We look with awe when we see a pro-
mising young statesman fling himself, like Christian
is the allegory, into the valley of darkness; but we
are sure that if he battles successfully with the oppo-
nents who cross his path, he will emerge all the
stronger. for his warfare, and be at liberty to go on-
ward with his hopes and powers increased. Thus it
was with Sir ROBERT PEEL. Oxford would
willingly have tamed down his energies and fettered
his aspirations for progress. It was only when he
was victorious over all the opposition it was in the
power of Oxford to place in his way, that he was
enabled to devote all his strength to the
maintenance of the enlarged views which
be entertained of the proper emirss of
policy which it behoved the greatest nation of
Europe to adopt. We cannot tell whether the some
fate awaits Mr. GLADSTONE. PEEL escaped from the
Cimmerian darkness of the University to become
Prime Minister. If Mr. GLADSTONE at the end of
the election finds himself freed from the heavy fetters
with which the University would willingly bind
him, the possibility. is that he also may be enabled
to pursue without interruption the course which his
aspirations may dictate. Whatever may be the
result of the election, therefore, there is no
paradox in saying —in the language of a sec-
tion of society dear to the late Pasuuto—that
Mr. GLADSTONE "goes in to win." If he
loses the election, he is freed from trammels
which will every day become more irksome. If he
is elected, he will have postponed the date of his en-
tire emancipation, it is true, but he will have ad-
miedeesesd "a heavy blow and discouragement" to,
on unprincipled faction. If he is rejected, he will
get rid of a drag-chain which must always have im-
peded his progress, and he will be free to employ his
great capabilities subject to no other restraint than
that imposed upon him by the necessities of time and
I place.
We then can affird to look very calmly upon •
contest which is agitating parties in a manner almost
unprecedented. Disposed as we are to look upon',
Lord ABLADEEN'S Ministry from an indulgent
point of view, we should still be very sorry to be
forced to think the safety of the liberal came
bound up in it. And however highly we mg
estimate the value of Mr. GLADSTONE'S services in the
present Ministry, we should be very loth to believe
that the rendenng of these services is wholly depen-
dant upon the honourable gentleman's re-election.at
Oxford. It is more than probable that a rejection at
the University would have the effect of endowing
Mr. GLADSTONE with claims which will be recog-
nised by constituencies with a far more powerful
voice in the destinies of England than the rabid
factions which influence for good or for evil the
Oxford Masters of Arts.
But while the result of the Oxford election is a
matter of comparative indifference to us, it is impos-
sible to restrain the indignation which naturally
arises at the unprincipled manner in which the op:
position to Mr. GLADSTONE has been carried 611.
there were no other reason why the Muters of Ade
should elect that gentleman and reject his ens-
cent, a sufficient one would be found in the wear
city imposed upon them to clear themselves from the
disgraceful position in which the Carlton
Club has placed them. From Saturday until
Monday were the members of this body who were
called together—not by any well-known representa-
tive of a great principle--not by any one whom they
knetr or had faith in—but simply by an ordonnance
proceeding from the Carlton Club —"the friends," it
was stated, " of the late Allininistration"—franifiatur-
day until Monday were these men boasting at having
ansaived distinguished degrees from the highest uni-
versity in the land, kept together, like sheep in a
pen, or like slaves in a slave-market, without the
slightest knowledge of who was to buy them.
They were actually driven together in herds to
their various places of meeting without being made
acquainted with the name of the person for whom
they are to vote. On arriving at Oxford, they must
have found that they had been summoned there, not
by any influential body of University men—for there
was no one there to tell them who was the mob-
date for their votes—but by sonic body external to
the University, which had not yet made its dream
as to the candidate to be put forward. These aimless

YESTPRDAY that national Balance Sheet—" The
" Quarterly Abstract of the net Produce of the Re-
" venue of Great Britain for the years and quarters
" ended Jan 5th,1852, and Jan. 5th,1853, showing the I
" increase and decrease thereof"—was issued by the
Treasury. The figures are highly satisfactory, and suf-
ficiently indicate that the present flourishing condition
of the people,—based on free commerce,—has had its
usual influence upon the national resources and filled
the national treasury. We have an increase both on
the year and on the quarter. On the year the in-
crease amounts to 978,92GL, whilst on the quarter it
is no less than 702,776!. Remembering the dimi-
motion of Customs duties,—the reform of the
Stamps,—and the abolitions of taxes that have
formed an essential element of oar financial system
since the establishment of Free Trade, this growth
of the revenue gives another proof of the wisdom of
our present policy and offers another argument
for extending it still further. Turning for ',compa-
rison and contrast-sake to the revenits statement
issued in October last, we find there a decrease on
the year of 437,3971., induced mainly by the aboli-
tion of the window tax and the relief given on tim-
ber, stamps, and bricks. Only three months later
we hive the present total increase of no less than
978,9261. In other words, the loss from diminished
taxes of a sum approaching half a million shown in
October is converted to a yon of nearly a million, as
shown in January. Such is the elasticity of our
resources under the system of Free Trade !
The present highly prosperous condition of
the people is shown by that unfailing test—an
increase on the consumption of exciseable articles suffi-
cient to give—under that headingalone —an expanded
revenue upon the year of 263,810. The Stamps
exhibit a still further improvement under the new
law, affording an increase of 353,712/. Notwith-
standing the repeal of the obnoxious Window Tax,
which at one comp relieved the population of the
country of that heavy burthen, we find the gap tilled
up by the expansive powers of the present system—
only 180,1191. now appearing as the decrease under
the heading of Taxes for the year, whilst in the
same column for the quarter the decrease is most
agreeably supplied by an increase of 233,9511. The
Post Office shows a diminution on last year
as compared with the Great Exhibition
year which preceded it—but the exceptional
diminution is seen to progress of repair, for the Post-
office return for the quarter shows an increase of
26,0001. Crown lands, miscellaneous, and repay-
ments of advances, all likewise contribute figures to
the columns of increase. Numbering all the entries
together, we see on the year and quarter fourteen
entries of increase to six of decrease • —the figures of
decrease on the year being 303,1531., whilst en the
quarter they are but 31,452/.; showing thus a
most satisfactory tendency towards the vanishing point
—the totals (as we have already stated) being an in-
crease of nearly a million sterling on the year, and
of more than seven hundred thousand pounds on the
quarter.
We may tabulate the condition of the quarter's
revenue as follows :
Increase on the Quarter.
Stamps
Taxes 233,951

Property Tax
Post-office

100,282
26,000
Crown Lands
Miscellaneous

Imprest and other monies
Repayments of advances..
The decrease on the quarter is only 18,1281.
in Customs (notwithstanding the reductions in
duties); and 13,3241. in the Excise .—the latter,
on the ear showing, as we have said, an increase
of 263,8111. The last trade return affords in-
formation only up to November 3, and there-
fore is not ready to afford exact information as
to any items of falling-off that may go towards
making up these lessened Customs figures of 18,1281.
But this amount is trifling, and that return does show
that a positive and considerable increase had taken
place in the imports and consumption of thosearticles
in which the comforts of the bulk of the people are
most concerned—in tea,coffee, sugar, wheat, nce, rum,
brandy and tobacco; the diminution to November
being in cocoa, glass, foreign timber, and some few
other trifling articles, such as gloves.
Again the false cry. of ruia to the landlords by the
loss of their Protection, is replied to by the revenue
returns. If the landlords need a tax on our bread,
or relief from a tax on malt, how does it happen
that, under the heading of Property Tax, we find an
increase of more than a hundred thousand pounds paid
in the last three months? No doubt much of this sum
comes from the pockets of prosperous traders and
Industrious professional people; but if rents had
fallen, as the landlords pretend when they ask for
relief, any increased taxes from trade-profits must
have been swamped in making up landlord deficien-
cies, instead of figuring as they'd* now, to make
up this new increase of Property Tax.
The continued improvement in the Stamps return
preaches an important lesson to our new CHANCEL-
Loa of the &nirvana& The Stamp Act was reformed,
and the rates of that mode of taxation were made
more equitable, and more in accordance with the
rational demands of the people. Sir Cusaus WOOD
was hard to teach, but was at last drilled into a plan
at once practical and wise, and the result was a new
law upon the subject, by which the industrious
and saving portion of the people were bene-
fited—the transfer of moderate parcels of land
was rendered more easy and cheap—and other
public advantages were gained, and public reliefs
granted. At first there was, of course, a falling off
in the produce of this class of taxes, but that loss was
only temporary. Each successive month and each
succeeding return showed an increase of revenue
under the new and more rational law, until now we
see the Stamps giving an increase on the last quarter
of no less than 187,6441.
What a suggestive fact is this for Mr. GLADSTONE.
How it points out to him the true direction in which
alone he can wisely move. How it must tend to
teach him the only ratioral and practical and safe
mode of dealing with tho Income-Tax difficulty—the
first great stumbling-blcck the Ministry ma expect.
Public opinion urged tho reforms made in the Stamp
Laws, and the Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer
who made the changes may now be honestly proud
of the result. The Stamp Tax was revised, graduated,
and made to sit more lightly, equably, and easily
upon the shoulders of the tax-payers. The nation
were relieved and grateful, and the revenue
erases to suffer. The public now ask that a
sound and rational consideration shall be given to
Income Tax reform, that it—like the Stamp Tax—
may be made more light, equable, and easy to
boar. If Mr. GLADSTONE will condescend to follow

bir Camas WOOD'd example, and permit the fair
hailaiaa at proper pressure from without,—will ease
Oa oda we the over-loaded shoulders of that good-
will's& ming Rum Bum, all parties may hereafter
valako oar lamas Tax reform, as they now find
OM tar 0011111dIdation in the results of their former
aaeaHoratioa d the Stamp Tax.
The surplus revenue on the 10th of October last,
attar providing kr the charge for that quarter, was
18,4324 ; whilst the surplus, after providing for the
charge on the Osalolidated Fund and for the pay-
ment of supply swim for the quarter ending yes-
terday, Jan. 5,1863, was 474,9181.

grace, and opprobrium. Let us not tolerate for a
"moment that the acts of the worst electioneerers,
" which would be scouted with indignation from the
" humblest town, should here find a refuge, amongst
"gentlemen—amongst members of a University—
"amongst clergymen. This is no question of party—
" the honour, the credit, the character of the whole
" University is at stake." We leave the Masters of
Arts to digest this appeal at their leisure.
We have never been the indiscriminate advocate
of Mr. GLADSTONE. We opposed him when a ques-
tion arose as to the propriety of choosing between
him and the Duke of Newchartr., and tor this rea-
son, that the latter was the more decidedly and intelli-
gibly liberal of the two. We have always taken
pains to point out the errors into which the hon.
gentleman is apt to fall from his tendency to shade
away all bold distinctions between opposite principles
by the aid of a subtle logic. But making
allowance for some faults, there is no denying that
Mr. GLADSTONE pommies in an eminent degree
many of the qualities of s statesman. He has exten-
sive -knowledge, much industry, administrative qua-
lities, and an acquaintance with all forms of public
business. When we add to this that he is conscien-
tious and eloquent, and we believe sincerely honest,
we have said quite enough to show that he is toe
good for Oxford. If the University reject him she
will be the loser, while the public will be the gainer
in seeing him in a position where he will not be
influenced by the sneers of ignorance or the hootings
of bigotry.

THE EXPLOSION OFF THE ISLE OF MAN.—The
Moots Sun gives the following account of the statement
made by James Kelly, of Port St. Mary, the only survivor
of the 30 persons who were employed shout the wreck of
the Lily, when the explosion took place on Monday, the
27th ult. When they first approached the wreck they
imagined they smelled smoke (it wu about half-past six
o'clock at this time); this soon proved to be a fact ; but
as they knew the powder was in the fore and aftennost
parte of the vestal, and the smoke about midships, they did
not apprehend danger, although several spoke of leaving
the wreck. However, some began to clear the cabin and
sail-ease, and others to try to discover the cause of the
smoke by cutting a hole in the deck ; and he thinks
that as soon as they cut the bole in the deck a current of
air was created, which led to the exploding of the powder.
The on of the Are is a mystery." The Mans Sun also
states that the miners who were working in Ballaeor-
kill mine at the time, a distance of three miles from K it-
terland, felt the shock se much that they hastened to the
surface. Their candles were extinguished, and one /11111
was knocked down. An inquest has been held on the
bodies found, and the verdict returned was to the effect
that the men lost their lives by the exploding of gunpowder
on board the brig Lily, of Liverpool. Of those who perished,
25 belonged to Port St. Mary, two to the Howe, anti two
to Castletown, leaving to lament their loss 22 widows sad
72 fatherless cluldroa.

OLD JODN BUNYAN must surely have had Oxford
in his prophetic eye when he penned the wonderful
allegory of the ' Valley of the Shadow of Death."
The passengers through this fearful pass had to con-
tend with all monstrous forms of evil, and even with
the arch-destroyer himself; but, when victorious, they
emerged into the path which led them to glory, and
honour, and content. Oxford prepares the hie re-
'option for the sincere and the valiant who pass
through the portals which it opens to legislative die-
*dim. It grants a passage, it is true, but

FRANCE.

PARIS. THURSDAY, RAMPART 8 A.M.
The Ministers of the United States, Wurtemberg,
Bavaria, TuscanT, Hanover, Baden, and Saxony
have received their credentials.

PARIS, WiDIIIIIIDAT EVIININO.
A special supplement in the Xonitewr announces
that the Russian minister delivered to-day his cre-
dentials to the Emperor.
It was confidently stated at the Bourse to-day, that
the Prussian and Austrian ministers would have
presented their credentials at the Tuileries this morn-
ing, but that the Emperor was prevented by indis-
position from receiving them. The Russian creden-
tials have not, it is said, yet arrived in Paris.
The Moniteur says :
The ratifications of the commercial convention between
France and Belgium of the 9th ult. were exchanged on the
31st at Brussels. It is known that this conventian which
again places in vigour the treaty of the 12th De:ember.
1845, until the conclusion of a new t, mutt
respectively receive its application from the 1 inst.
According to accounts from Rome of the 24th ult.,
the relief of such corps of the army of 000uption es
had not been changed since the arrival of the expe-
dition in 1849 was expected. These corps ars—the
regiment of dragoons, the ariillery, the waggon train,
and the engineers. This relief will not, however,
take place until after winter. It results from this
that the oft repeated reports of the evacuation of
Rome by the Frenth troops must be considered as
unfounded.

THE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION ON THE
LONDON AND NORTE WESTERN RAILWAY.

The Archbishop of Paris's sermon on the opening
of St. Genevieve has broken the last link that bond
him to the republican party, and has given gmt
offence to liberals of all shades. He asserted em-
phatically that amidst the revolutions of empires the
constitution of the church had ever remained un-
changed. This, in a country which shook off the
yoke of ultramontanism in the time of Bossuet, and
has never submitted to it since, was a hardy Amer-
tion. In fact, nothing can be more unlike than the
constitution of the catholic church, as laid down by
the Council of Trent, and that of the independent,
and, to a certain extent, reformed, though
still professedly the Roman Catholic Church
of France. The Pope, instead of being the
absolute king of catholicity, as the ultramontanista
hold, is in France merely the constitutional executive
power of the church, and can only exercise his power
according to rules concerted with the civil govern-
ment. It is too much to say, after these highly
prized Gallican liberties have been wrenched from
Rome, sorely against her will, that the constitution
of the church is not as subject to oe modified ly re-
volution as those of empires. The archbishop made
a violent attack upon Louis Philippe for having res-
tored the Pantheon to the profane uses to which it
was devoted in the first revolution, and plainly inti-
mated that his fall was imputable to the withdrawal
of the protection of St. Genevieve. He thca pro-
nounced a much more enthusiastic eulogium than
he has ever before done upon Louis Napoleon,
and prophecied long prosperity to hint and las
_go-
vernment as a reward for his catholic zeal. His
grace however forgot to explain how it happened
that the Empire and the Restoration, which both
put themselves under the protection of St. Genevieve
by successively restoring her church, were in their
turns swept away by the tide of change, after endu-
ring for even less time than the government of the
King of the Barricades. The restored church's now
daily crowded with pilgrims, who come from many
leagues round to place lighted candles round the
gold shrine supposed to oontain the heart of the
Saint-Grand.

THE INQUEST.

Yesterday morning an inquest on the bodies of the
sufferers by this collision wee held at the Star hotel, Ox-
ford. Captain Brueyeres, the superintendent of the Loudon
and North Western Company, and Mr. M'Connell, were
fa attendance. Mr. Hester, the Town Clerk of Oxford, ap-
peared to watch the case for the London and North Wcs-
tern Company ; Mr. Small, of the firm of Smith and
Small, of Buckingham, on behalf of the family of John
Tarry, the driver of the train; Mr. Menem, for Mr. Blott,
the station-master; Mr. Hayes, of the lirza of Parker,

Hayes and Co., tie solicitor; to the company, wee also in
attendanse ; as was Captain Wynne, the government
inspector.
The jury then went to view the bodies.
On their return the following witnesses were called :
James Smith, foreman over the engines and engine-men
at the Orford statioo,stated that he had accompanied the jury
to view the bodies. He could identify the body at the in-
firmary as Samuel Wilcox, a fireman in the employ of the
company, attached to No. 220 engine. That engine was on
Monday lest bringing a coal train from Rugby to Oxford.
The driver was John Lee, who escaped. He also identified
the body of John Tarry, engine-driver of engine 148,
attached to the passenger train from Oxford at 5.30. Robt.
Bugden was the fireman, whose body he also identified.
Jose h Kind% wee the guard. He also knew the body
of Thomas Landon, fireman to engine 124, the first
attached to the mai train. The driver of that was Robert
Law, whose body was at the Victoria Inn. It was his
duty to see the engines were in working order and the
, men fit to go with them. In his absence it was the duty of
the station-muter and the policemen to see that the men
were in a fit state to do their work. He went to Beater
at four o'clock, and saw the engine 148 at Islip. He in-
tended to return by the oosl train, but stopped till the six
o'clock train. There were spatial directions in the time-
line about the coal trains. He had no communication with
the driver of 148 engine, but he saw enough of him to see
that he was fit for his duty. He was bringing in the five
minutes put four train from Bletchley to Oxford, and was
waiting at luip. He did not speak to Tarry,
but he saw him en his engine. After taking
in that train he would have to return soon.
He might have had • few minutes liberty, but
very little. Tarry was • sober, steady man. Witness
knew him four or five years as a driver. When Tarry got
to Oxford, be would have to turn his engine, and take
water and coke, and then shunt the train from one side of
the station to the other, which would take above half aa
hour ; and he had to lesve again at half-put 6. Them
bad been only one line of rails at work between Islip and
Oxford since the 15th or 16th of December. It was the
up line. The contractor had the other for the repairs of the
tunnel at Wolvercote. Under the tunnel there was at this
time only one line of mill. There was no one at Oxford in
witness's absence who was reseinsible for seeing whether a
driver was in • fit state; but if any one on the platform
saw him the worse for drink, they would take notice of it.
If witness had been at Oxford, he should have examined
the engine; and if anything had been the matter
with it, and he had not substituted another, he
would have been responsible. Since the 16th December, it
had been the practice for the half-past five train to remain
in Oxford till the csal-train arrived. When he saw Tarry
at Islip he was satisfied he was fit to proceed with the
engine. A coal-train was due every sight at twenty
minutes after five.
John Lee, d • f engine 220, stated that that engine
was on Monday at work from Bletchley to Rugby, aed
from Rugby to Oxford, with • coal-train. There was one
engine (his) from Bletchely to Rugby; and two from
Bletchely to Oxford, number 124, of which Landon was
fireman. He left Bletchley at 10 minutes after three, and
war about 20 minutes behind time. There were two en-
gine. on ...meet of the lanavy load, there being 54 waggons
or coal and a break-waggon. The coal-trains stopped at
Winslow, Islip, Bluster, and Banbury-road. When he
arrived at Islip station he asked the policeman if it was all
right to go on, and he said " yes." He stopped at blip
from 7 to 10 minutes, while changing lines, erasing from
the down to the up line, in consequence of the works going
on at Wolvercote Tunnel. He had driven along the line
since the change almost every day. He never left Islip
station without instructions from the policeman that the
line was clear. It was on the printed bill that the coal
train should stop at Banbury-road if required. He knew
there was a telegraph between Islip andeOsford, and also
between Oxford and Banbury-road. He did not enquire at
Banbury-road if the road was clear, as h- bad • caution
signal (green) that it was all right, but to go slowly. He
went at about five to six miles an hour to the tunnel, and
about four miles an hour in the tunnel. After be got
through the tunnel the speed was increased to about seven
or eight miles an hour. It is an incline from the tunnel to
Oxford. There is a board u you come out of the tunnel
oa the Oxford side on which were the words, " slacken
speed." They were coming down the line, witness being
on the second engine, and he saw the lights of a train coming
up, about 60 yards from the wooden bridge going into Part
Meadow. At first he was not sure it was a train,bat MI •
emend look he saw it was, and jumped eg liMi sr
gine. He was going about six miles an hour, tisekadas
speed,—before he saw the train coming. He called to the
fireman that a train was coming, and he had better come
off; he appeared to misunderstand him, and he (witness)
set the whistle open. The fireman was Samuel Wilcox.
Witness fell as he jumped off, and did not recover before
the widest, although be got up se quickly as he could„
and he was not stunned. There war a collision between
the two trains. All three engines and tenders were thrown
off the line, and both trains brought to • stand-still. Wham
he trot up, the steam was blowing off, which p ted his
seeing at flirt. He was on the Oxford aide of the bridge
when he jumped off. When the steam blew off, he
found Wilco: oa the foot-plate of his engine, wheh was
not overturned. Wilcox was alive then, but was injured in
the legs and thighs. Witness got him off, but he was not
able to tell him what it was that injured him. Witness
asked him if he was very much hurt, and he said he was.
He asked witness to take care of him, which he did, and
that was all he said. Witness then went to the passenger
train, and found two carriages, one • third and the other a
second-class, upset. They were not in the water. He
found two persons, a female and a man, among the ruins,
neither of whom were dead. They were both near wit-
ness's engine. He helped to get them out of the broken
pieces of carriages. He saw the fireman of the passenger
train an hoer after. He was dead. The passenger engine was
lying in the water; and so was the Ant engine of the
coal train. He heard no signal at all from the passenger
train—no whistle or anything. If threshed been a whistle,
very likely he should not have heard it. He saw no signal
of danger or caution. The down line was used only by the
contractor, he believed. When be brought in a coal train
he did not go Late the station, but went to the left, into the
coal sidings. He did report to the station-master that the
train was in, but he could not say whether the brakesman
had instructions to do so or not. He then took the engine
to the shed, and then to get coke and water ; but he would
be off the main line. He had no knowledge that there
was a report of the arrival of the train to the station-
master. He weld not say at what rate the
passenger train was going. There was a green light on the
front engine of the oul-train, and also on the second, as
well as a white side tender-light, which were to instruct
the policeman as to the difference between goods and pas-
senger trains. There was a red light behind, and coloured
blue lights at the sides of the brake at the end of the coal-
train. There were two white lights in the passenger-train.
He did not hear the whistle of the leading engine of the coal-
train. It was about three quarters of a mile from the
Oxford station where the accident happened. At times he
had met the half-past five train at Islip. He had known
that train gone after he bad arrived at Oxford. He bad
passed it at different places on the line. Once he waited
at blip till it parsed ; and once he passed it at Bice.-
ter. Both lines are at work between Islip and
Beater. He was stopped at Islip on that OCCSSISE by the
Policeman on duty, who told him the r train had
left Oxford, which he had learnt by telegrap . He could
not account for the passenger train advancing on his train
in the face of his lights. He thought it strange. The pas-
senger trains have white lights ; the goods or coal trains
have green lights. There was no time to do anything to
stop the train. The steam was shut off, which was all that
could be done. There is • signal at the iron river
bridge, and an auxiliary signal about two hundred
yards further up the line beyond the ticket plat-
form. The signal at the iron bridge would inform
the driver of the passenger train whether be was to go on
or not. If the danger signal had been turned on at the
bridge ke did not think he could have seen it before the
accident occurred ; but he could have seen the auxiliary
signal if the up-train bad not hid it. He could see the
auxiliary before be came to the wooden bridge. He was
looking for it on Monday night. He saw it, but could
not tell what signal it was, as he saw the other lights
coming, and they attracted attention. The policeman at
Islip always gave instructions what to do, whether to stop
or go on, since there had been only one line of rails.
William Hayes, foreman porter and ticket collector at
the Oxford station, said his duty was to see the carriages
all marshalled for travelling, and that the porters do their
duty. It was hie duty to be on the platform at the starting

Some heavy sentences were pronounced yesterday
by the tribunal of correctional police against five in-
dividuals convicted of the offence of speaking ill of
the Emperor. Ido not know the exact terms of the
language imputed to them, but the numerous prose-
cutions for words lightly spoken, and reported by
officious by-standee, is a remarkable feature of the
present times. I believe no former sovereign of France
ever made such frequent appeals to the law courts to
punish expressions disrespectful towards his person,
and it is curious that a government professing to
have for its basis an unexampled amount of popu-
larity should find it necessary to resort to measures
which a monarch, "by divine right," could afford to
die nse with. The men convicted yesterday are
tradesmen of the better class. They were sentenced
to imprisonment varying from three to six pontes,
with fines of from 100 fr. to 500 fr.
AU the clerks and employes in the ministry of
the interior received a New Year's gratification,
amounting to a twelfth part of their salaries. This
makes the third bonus given to these fortunate gen-
tlemen within six months. The first was on the oc-
casion of the Emperor's Efts on August 15th, and the
second on the day of the proclamation of the Em-
pire. It will be remembered that in all the public
offices there was a general augmentation of salary
at the beginning of last year. The popularity of
the Empire in certain quarters is, therefore, not to
be wondered at.

of every train. He, and all the other servants, wire !In-
itialled with a printed book of instructions. He had such
a book, and had reed it. By those rules it is the guard's
duty to give the signal to the driver to start by whistliag.
The drivers were subject to the direction and control of the
guards. (The rule providing for this was then put la.)
The guard's duty was to go to the statioa-master or witness
to ascertain if all was clear to start. He was on the plat-
form on Monday evening, when the half-past five
train should have started. He was on duty. He
knew a coal train was due at twenty minutes after five,
and that the coal train so due bad not arrived at Oxford.
' He could not ascertain from the platform if the coal train
was clear of the line, and he had orders from the station-
master to ascertain st the coal train was clear of the line
before the half-past five train started. It was a general
order since there had been one line of rails, to ascertain
that it was necessary for him to go near the swing-bridge.
He left the platform on Monday night to ascertain that.
He went near the swing-bridge, and while there the
ballast train came in and ran into the sidings. It came
over the swing-bridge and went into the coal wharf line.
He knew from the telegraph that the coal train had left
Islip, but he ascertained that it had not got to the ticket
platform. He returned towards the platform having his
proper signal lamp with him. Before he got to the plat-
form the train was started. He did net hear the guard's
whistle, but he heard the driver's whistle. He called after
the driver to stop; but he was blowing off his steam from
the waste pips so loud it was impossible for him to hear.
The lamp witness had had no red glass, it was not a signal
lamp. He had no other means of apprising him but calling
him. He went to the guard (Kinch) as the train passed,
and told him that it was the ballast train
and not the coal-train that had come in, and he instantly
put on his brake. The guard was in the last carriage.
The train went out of the station very fait—faster than
ever witness knew it. It was about seven minutes after its
proper time of starting. lie saw the driver (Tarry) about
28 minutes after 6on his engine, and spoke to him. Tarry
appeared sober. Witness told him the coal-train had left
Islip nearly half an hour, and that he could not leave until
it arrived. Me said, " Can't we leave till it comes in 1"
and witness said, "Certainly not." Witness left the train
stationary when he went to examine. He had ex&
mined the passengers' tickets, and then told lunch,
the guard, the train had left Islip half an
hour, and that he must not go on. He under-
stood' witness, for he said, " Would it not be bet-
ter for the driver to open his whistle ?" Witness said,
" No," for the line would not be clear whilst the red signal
was on the bridge. The red signal was on at the bridge
facing Oxford. The opening of the whistle was used to
call the attention of the policeman. Witness than left the
platform and went up the line, as he had stated. The red
signal was on when the half-past five train started, and it
certainly ought not to have started. The guard is usually
on the platform when he gives the signal to go on, wheu
the driver opens his whistle, and the train moves on. The
red signal was plainly to be seen from the platform. When
witness found the train leaving the platform be ran to the
policeman, who was about 40 yards off, and told him to
show the red signal in his hand-lamp, to show that the
train had passed, which he did by waving it violently. The
red signal was up till the train got near the bridge when
the driver whistled twice, when it was turned off. That
was before the train passed the bridge. It was usual, if
the driver saw a red signal, to blow his whistle, to call the
attention of the guard or policeman. He did not know
why the signal was turned off. If it had been kept on,
according to orders, the train should be stopped. A man
named Bonner had the charge of the signal on the bridge.
When the red signal was turned off the green signal was
turned on, which means "go on with caution. The
red signal signifies " danger, and to stop." It would be
the duty of a driver not to go on after seeing a
red signal. Witness did not notice any change in the
auxiliary signal. It did not show towards Oxford, and was
intended for trains coming in. When the green signal was
on the driver should have gone on, but with caution. Wit-
ness had no other means of giving signals than those he
had used. He did all in his power to stop the train. lie
was apprehensive of danger. Mr. Slott, the station-
master, was there. Witness saw him on the platform at
half-past five. Mr. Blott was at the station from three
o'clock till seven. Witness was certain there would be a
collision. He had communicated to Mr. Slott that the coal-
train was coming from Islip at five o'clock, which he had
ascertained by telegraph, and asked him if the line
would be clear for that train to come on. Mr.
Blott said, " Yes, it can corns on immediately ;" which
answer was sent to Islip. Witness directed the delay of
the passenger-train, therefore, till the coal-train had ar-
rived. Witness left the porters on the platform whin he
went up the line. No one would act in his place, unless
they got instructions from Mr. Blott ; who was on the plat-
form a few minutes before. Witness was away from the
platform four or five minutes. He knew by the light that
the train which came in was the ballast, and not the coal-
train. The ballast-train had white lights, and came down
the contractor's line and net the working line. The double
line was worked between the ticket-station and the
platform. There was no time for the guard to
say anything after the train started ; but he &hewed
he understood witness by putting on the break. Witness'
was the person to ascertain whether the coal train was in
or not, and whose duty it was to state that it was in, and give
directions 'to the passenger train te start. The engine-
driver ought to be aware when the break was put on. The
guard had no whistle to communicate with the driver, but
he had his signal lamp. It was the duty of the cngineman
to look back and see if his carriages were all right; and if
he had he must haveseen my signal. The passenger train con-
sisted of one third-class carriage next the tender, one second-
class adjoining the third-class, one first-class and the guard's
break van. There was no luggage van. There were 2l pas-
sengers booked at the station. There were no first-class pas-
sengers booked. He thought the majority were third-class.
There was no one on the engine but 1 arry and Bugden.
Witness followed the train with Mr. Slott as soon as it
started They both ran as fast as they could. Mr. Blott
was on the platform, and was running towards the line,
when he met witness, and asked him who started the train.
Witness said " he did not know : he did not, but had tried
to stop it." Witness and Mr. Blott went after the train,
and called to the policeman to put on his red signal, which
he did. Witness and Mr. Blott went up to the scene of the
accident. He did not hear the concussion. Witness had
been in the company's service nine years. Ho was not
aware of any audible signals by which the guard could COM.
'simian) with the driver. It was not right, and in defiance
of orders, to start from the platform while the red signal is
en. By the 42nd rule of the company the driver was
entirely under the control of the guard. There was one
, policeman (Sergeant Owyme), who was on the platform
' when the train started. It is a rule for the driver to sound
ri his whistle when he leaves the platform. If the engine-
, man had observed the 21st rule, to look back at his car-
, hones, he must have seen the guard's red signal.
At this stage of the proceedings an adjournment took
place till this day.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH MOROCCO.—The
following is a copy of a memorial transmitted yesterday by
the Manchester Commercial Association to Lord John Rus-
sell, as Foreign Secretary: "To the Right Honourable
Lord John Russell, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs.—The Memorial of the Directors
of the Manchester Commercial Association, by their Chair-
man, humbly showeth,—That your memorialists would re-
spectfully call your lordship's attention to the present con-
dition of the trade between Great Britain and Morocco,
which, although formerly considerable, and still capable of
being largely extended, has of late been subjected to re-
peated discouragement. by the injudicious, and (as your
memorialists are led to believe) unwarrantable course pur-
sued by his Majesty the Emperor of that country. That
the sudden, frequent, and arbitrary changes made by his
Majesty in the nature and amounts of import duties, and
the continued extension of a system of monopoly affecting
almost every article of large consumption, threaten the an-
nihilation of our commerce with Morocco at no distant
period. That your memorialists have reason to believe that
the acts complained of are contraventions of the spirit at
least, if not the letter, of the commercial treaty existing
between the Emperor of Morocco and the British crown.
That your memorialists are convinced, from the good feel-
ing at ell times displayed towards the English nation by
the Emperor of Morocco, that a friendly remonstrance, ad-
dressed to his Majesty by the mouth of an accredited agent
from this country, would be attended with the most satis-
factory results. That your memorialists would respectfully
beg leave to mer,tion .to your lordship the name of J. D.
Hey, Esq., her Majesty's Consul-General at Tangier, who
has been represented to them as a gentleman eminently
qualified to conduct so important and delicate a mission.
May it, therefore, please your lordship to take the subject
into your early and favourable consideration, and adopt
such steps as in your wisdom may seem best calculated to
restore the trade between Great Britain and Morocco to a
footing more consistent with the intereets of both countries.
And your memorialists will ever pray."
LONDON AND COUNTY FIRE AND LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANT.—Yesterday the first annual general meeting of
the policy and shareholders of this company was held, at
their offices, 484, Oxford-street; Mr. S. Bettelley in the
chair. The report of the directors stated, that four calls of
ss. each had been made, and that the consideration of 2501.,
to be paid to the originators of the company, was postponed
to the second annual meeting. In the life department 494
policies, insuring the sum of 47,8291.55. 3d., were com-
pleted, on which the annual premiums are 1,7991. Bs. sd:
In the fire department there were effected 515 assurances,
covering 62,2911., on which the annual income is

of the company since its formation in October, 1851, has
been 6,2031. 111. 71d., and the outlay, including all pre-
liminary expenses, 6,7541. 19r. 101 d., leaving a general
balance of 4481. 111. 9d. The directors have as yet received
no compensation. The chairman, in moving the adoption
of the report, said that considering that during the past
year no fewer than 64 other offices had been started, with
which, as well as with the old offices, their office had to
compete, they Lad every reason to be satisfied with the por-
tion of business which they had obtained, and he assured
them that he looked forward to a much larger increase of
business before the close of the year. The motion having
been seconded, was unanimously carried. Some routine
business was transacted, when the proceedings terminated
with a vote of thanks to those engaged in the management
of the company.
