T 6,3 Coroner, before the jury left the court, desired to
theta the jury for the very peat patience they had dis-
played in gaming oat the *Wiry. He had not had an op-
portunity of thinking Captain Tyler before he left, but
although be was out present, he must be allowed
horn to say that he doubted very much
whether they would have been able to conduct
the inquiry an satisfactusily as they had done
had that geotleataa not been present and fa-
voured them with his practical suggestions, both with
regard to the working of the telegraph and many other
matter., . _ _

The proceedings then terminated, having occupied the at.
teation of the coroner and jury during nine whole days.
From enquirice mode at the Humes lloeMtal, we learn ,
that most of the injured persons who were conveyed there
after the accident have cufficiently recovered to be removed
to their own residences, and that those who still
remain uudrr treatment M that institution are
favourably progressing toward., convalescence. A great
many of the claims arising from the accident on account of
personal injuries have been already settled, and those in
which the demnools were too high to admit of immediate
aspen next are under assotiatios, with a f►ir prospect of ad-
justment, It beige evidently the policy .4 the railway com-
pany not to allow any one of these claims to coins into a
court of law, if it eta possibly be avoided. In several in.
&enacts the settlement hes been made en terms most favour-
able to the company. In one case mentioned to our re-
moter, where two persona, a man ■nd his wife, were
severely shaken, and in addition suffered considerable
injury to wearing apparel sad personal luggage, a mem
promise was effected by the payment of 51. in the ore
and V. in the other case. Of course acquittance in full of
all donated, was given ; but since then it appears that Ike
shock which the man sustained in his 'Krems system is
likely to bring. on permanent insanity, sad that the woman
may he physioally disabled for life. The friends of Kr.
