GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.

INSTALLATION OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE
EARL OF EGLINTON.
GLASGOW, Nov. 30.
This afternoon his Excellency the Earl of Eglinton,
who was recently elected Lord Rector of the University,
was duly installed into office in the Common-hall of the
college. The building was crowded in every part, the
galleries being appropriated to ladies, among whom was
the Countess of Eglinton, who was received with several
rounds of the heartiest applause. His Excellency was
accompanied to the Common-hall by the Principal and
the Professors of the University, and by Sir Archibald
Alison (the late Lord Rector), Sir Michael Shaw
Stewart, and other distinguished persons.
After the formal proceedings had been disposed of,
His Excellency the LORD RECTOR rose, and was re-
ceived with the most enthusiastic applause. He said—
Very Rev. Principal, Professors, Students, and Gentle-
men,—There are occasions when it is no easy matter
to express the feelings with which we are animated,
and the present is one of those when it is most
peculiarly difficult for me adequately to express my
sense of the kindness which you have shown me. (Loud
cheers.) It is, indeed, most gratifying to me, or to
any man, to be singled out by any large body of my
fellow-countrymen as an object of esteem and approba-
tion ; but there is something which comes more especially
home to the heart, and which warms the feelings—to be
singled out and welcomed by the youth of one's country
—to be singled out by those whose happy countenances
and joyous looks bring one back to years long gone by,
and which also point to future energy and usefulness.
(Continued cheers.) It is, indeed, most gratifying to me
to be singled out by the members of this University, by
the educated youth of the west of Scotland, and by those
learned and pious men who direct their studies, to fill
a chair hallowed by the recollections of antiquity and
by the memories of those great men who have occupied
it—that wonderful list of men who have occupied this
chair, from the bold and patriotic Andrew Melville, of
the 16th century, to your own Sheriff Alison, of the
19th. (Loud cheers.) The mighty orator who has en-
chained millions by the intense power of his eloquence,
the statesman who has swayed the destinies of empires,
the poet who has enthralled the pasasinna, file philo-
sopher who has roamed into endless space or pointed
out the hidden treasures of the earth—the skilful
lawyer, the eminent divine, the truthful historian,
have all filled this chair ; and each, in his turn,
has addressed the students in words of power, and
in the fulness of his intellect. (Renewed cheer-
ing.) • I cannot claim to myself the eloquence of
a Stanley or a Macaulay—(cheers)--the ripe states-
manship of a Peel or a Lansdowne, the varied genius
of Brougham, the brilliant acquirements of a Jeffrey or
a Cockburn, the learning of a Mure, or the pen of an
Alison ; but I will yield to none of my predecessors in
my appreciation of the kindness which has been shown
me in my earnest determination to uphold the sacred
cause of education, or in my desire to promote the in-
terests of those who have thus conferred on me the
greatest honour in their power to bestow. (Cheers.)
Believe me, that honour, though unsolicited, has been
earnestly desired, and I have long looked to it sins a
worthy, but perhaps unattainable, object of my ambi-
tion. I trust I have no more vanity than other men,
tno,
but if anything could at such a time be adrawback
the gratification which I feel, it is that I shouldhave
y part, as well
been opposed, however unwillingly
dmire so
as on his, to a nobleman whom I esotenerrn-and a.
cheering)—one
much as the Duke of Argyll—( gre
whO; though young in years, is already rich in elo-
quence, in learning, and in
in
wisdom—one who has al-
ready earned for himself a nichethe temple of fame,
and a high place in the estimation of his
fellow-coun-
trymen—who who has never prostituted In.s great ta-
lents to factious purposes or selfish ends—unblemished
in character as he is unsullied in hereditary descent—a
worthy representative of perhaps the greatest family
among the nobles of Scotland. He is worthy of the
encomium which Thomson bestowed on his greatest
ancestor—

" From thy rich tongue
Persuasion flows, and wins the high debate ;
While mixed in thee combine the charms of youth,
The force of manhood, and the depth of age ! "
(Cheers.) I should have cheerfully submitted to defeat
in such a contest, and hailed him 'with pleasure as your
Lord Rector, in the well-known words of Cicero. I
trust I shall be pardoned for alluding to one circum-
stance connected with my election, which has, among
the rest, given me the most sincere pleasure. It is that
I have received the almost unanimous support of the
Irish students of this university. (Cheers.) May I not
claim it as a proof that I have not forfeited the good
opinion of those whose interests are for a time committed
to my charge-wthat I have not sullied the dignity of the

public office (Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland) with which
have been entrusted ! May I not use it as an argu, went
to my own fellow-countrymen that they have not

Rector ? (Cheers). The time that has elapsed since
these duties" were conferred on me has been compare,-
tiveiy short,‘- but , it has served to show me very much
that
is great and good and interesting in that people,
and to
determine me to devote all the energies I possess

(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Feeling as Ido that ilch

existed and flourished for the last 400 years, I see around
me the proofs of the carrying out of the social instruc-
tion of the people. What is in Scotland a matter of
realisation and history, is in Ireland a matter of hope
and futurity. The prosperity of Scotland is the best
augury for Ireland's future. (Cheers.) 300 years ago,.
Scotland was more convulsed with civil and religious dis-
sensions than Ireland is at this day—(a voice, " True.")
but our monarchs gave us universities, our Parliaments
parochial schools, England gave us our Union, and we
see the gratifying proofs around us. I believe I may say
that one half of the population of this great city by birth or
by origin are Celtic; and the glorious results of the blending
the Celtic with the Anglo-Saxon blood form the best
answer to that mischievous controversy which has lately
been got up as.regards the respective merits of theltwo
races. (A laugh and cheers.) I should little envy any
man who could find himself suddenly and unexpectedly,
but intimately, connected with such a city as Glasgow,
and such an institution as her university—who could find
himself so connected—without feelings of the most lively
gratification. Glasgow—which is the emblem of Scottish.

great names that rises to my recollection ; but she can
always point with pride to the works of a Hutcheson, a.
Spottiswoode, a Reid, a Clelland, an Adam Smith, and
an Alison. (Loud cheers.) She can point to the ingenuity
and enterprise of her Watts and her Napiers ; but she
can also boast of the genius of a Jeffrey, a Thomas Camp-
bell, and a Lockhart. (Loud cheers.) She can boast, too,
of the piety and learning of a Melville, a Smeaton, a.
Chalmers, or a Macfarlane—(loud cheering)—and she
can also glory in the military renown of a Moore and a.
Munro. (Renewed cheers.) The comparison between the
state of the city at the date of the foundation of this univer-
sity and the present time was so well and so beautifully
drawn by Sir Archibald Alison in a speech which I had
the pleasure of hearing along with many of you now
present, that I cannot venture to dilate upon it, but I
will only call, in a few words, your attention to the state
of this city now with what it was then. Then there
were religious persecutions and civil wars—raids were
made on the city by the Highlanders, and extortions
were made by Cromwell—your river overflowed its
banks, famine and pestilence raged in the city. What
is it now ? There is peace and plenty : there is entire
religious freedom ; you have a harbour within the very
heart of the city ; a river bound up within safe boun-
daries ; and science to preserve the safety of its inha-
bitants. In those times ministers of religion were
obliged to wear coats of mail and carried " whangers"
--(a laugh) for the protection of their persons.
The Bibles were so scarce that they were chained
to the desk, and read to crowds of persons at the same
time. Now the ministerial brethren are secure and
respected ; the Bible is within the reach of the hum-
blest member of the community. (Cheers.) And
let me for a moment call your attention to the differ-
ence between the state of this city at this pre-
sent moment and the Glasgow of a much later period
than what I have alluded to—the Glasgow at the Union,
About that time the population did not exceed 14,000.,
and even in the middle of the century it did not amount
to 20,000, and depended on Port Glasgow for its har-
bour. • There were scarcely any manufactures, there
were no tonnage dues levied till 1770, and these only-
amminted to 1,0001. There were no banks—that is
to say, the Bank of Scotland, in the beginning of
the last century, could not employ a circulation of
30,0001., and it was not till the middle of the century-
that any banks were established in this city. About
the same period it was that a caravan was set going
to ply twice a-week with Edinburgh, but the speculation
was too daring for the spirit of the age—(loud laughter)
and it was shortly afterwards abandoned as utterly hope-
less ; and I believe men now living have been obliged to
sleep on the journey between this and Edinburgh. Now
let us look at the other side of the picture. The village
of the 15th and the small town of the 18th century have
swelled into the enormous proportions of some 370,000
inhabitants, and its harbour swarms with ships. The
revenue of the Clyde amounts to 75,0001. a-year. Your
ettakozw.se -.}.;eh so late as 1812 did not exceed
3,0001., now amount to 650,0001. a-year. (Loud cheers.)
The circulation of the banks, I believe, may be calculated
at 3,500,0001., and the deposits are not less than
11,000,0001. It is not now that a caravan is plying
twice a-week with Edinburgh, but the city is surrounded
by a positive network of railways, three of which alone
conveyed along the rails last year, nearly 5,000,000
passengers. It is energy, combined with education, and
aided, too, by science, which has achieved these wonders,
and which is every day raising this great city, and dis-
playing the invincible industry and indomitable perseve-
rance of her inhabitants. (Cheers.) And now, gentlemen,
allow me to address a few words of advice and exhorta-
tion to you—(hear)—to you, my young friends, who.
by your kindness have not only given me the right, but.
have made it a duty, that I should speak to you with-
some authority, and without reserve. The few years
which you spend in this place are the most important in
the whole history of your lives. The choice which you
make here will probably rule your future destiny ; on the
principles which you here imbibe will probably depend
your fate in eternity. There may be some individual ex-
ceptions, which prove the rule, but in the great majority
of cases the character of the after man springs from the
character of the youth ; his career in, after life is fore-
shadowed by his career at school and college. (Cheeis.)
Every one of you is as much engaged in the formation of
your character as the sculptor is with the shapeless clay ;
every one of you has an immortal soul committed to your
keeping. There is not one of you who cannot make for
himself respectability, at least, if not fame. It is for you
to decide whether you will be hereafter respected and
honoured, or whether you will be a pest to society and a
burden to yourselves. I trust you will all accept the
first offer that is held out to you by the advantages you
now enjoy, and that few indeed will take the latter course.
There are, no doubt, some among you with better intel-
lects and keener perceptions than the rest, and every one
cannot hope to attain to excellence or to climb the high-
est pinnacle of human ambition ; but there is not one of
you

the esteem, of your fellow-creatures. Never allow
yourself to despair of anything beyond your reach ;
never think that any branch of knowledge is beneath
you, for there is no intellect which cannot be sharpened,
there is no memory which cannot be improved, there
are no bad habits that cannot be rectified in the plastic
season of youth. (Loud cheers.) There may be some
of you whom I am addressing who are not destined to
cross the threshold of that busy life on which you are
now standing, and to realise those expectations they and
their friends have formed of the youthful promise of
them. I will say especially to them, " Remember your
Creator in the days of your youth ;" and, if you do,
there is no happiness which any imagination can conjure
up, no brilliant destiny which talent and application
can give to you, or no honour which any
earthly power
can bestow upon you which will equal those blessings
which this will bring to you. For some of you there IS
probably in store long life and chequered. circfl.

The flippant decision of Mr. ATECKETT on
the Railway Cab question—a subject of consi-
derable importance, not only to the Boards of
Directors of the several lines having metropolitan
termini, but also to the community in general—is
likely to be subjected to speedy revision. Not-
withstanding the magnitude of the interests in-
volved in the result notwithstanding the
doubtful and difficult nature of the issue submtited
for his decision, the learned gentleman not only
refused to suspend his judgment until his brother
magistrates had an opportunity of considering
and forming an opinion on the question—but
even to frame it, so that an appeal might be made
to a higher tribunal. Whatever may be the
ultimate result, the parties concerned have much
reason to complain of the self-sufficiency—we
might almost say obstinacy—that induced Mr.
A'BzoicErr to refuse the reasonable request of the
gentlemen who appeared on behalf of the de-
fendant. All that was required at his hands
was, that he would put the matter in train for
further investigation, so that the opinion of
the Judges of one of the Superior Courts
might be taken thereon. That application he re-
jected, but we are happy to say that none of his
magisterial brethren have acted in an equally ar-
bitrary manner. The topic has been brought for-
ward in other Police Courts. The Directors of
the South-Western, and, more recently, the North-
Western Railway, have been virtually made de-
fendants, but in no instance has the example set
by Mr. A'BEC&ETT been followed. The other
Justices have exhibited a degree of modesty and
discretion of which the Southwark magistrate was
totally deficient.
The admirable decision of Mr. LONG, at the Mary-
lebone Police Court, put the matter in so clear
a light, that we have no doubt it will ultimately
prevail. That learned gentleman justly and pro-
perly entered into the consideration of all the
Statutes bearing on the point, and of the inten-
tion of the Legislature, deducible from the various
enactments. He also made full allowance for the
rights appertaining to private property, holding
that " if a railway company could not select cabs,
and have them under their own control, other per-
sons could not select them and have them waiting
upon their private property. The Duke of Devon-
shire, if he had a party, could not do so."
It would indeed be monstrous to suppose that
any company should be bound to have their pre-
mises open at all hours, so that any person who
thought proper might come in—whether for pur-
poses of plunder or otherwise. It is already suf-
ficiently difficult to preserve order on the arrival
or departure of crowded trains; but, if Mr.
A'BECKETT'S decisions were sustained, the scenes
of confusion on every such occurrence would be
indescribable, and there would be no security
for travellers, either with respect to the
valuable property in their possession or from
the abuse to which cab-drivers are too much
inclined to resort whenever their extortionate
demands are resisted. We venture to assert that
such a state of things was never contemplated
by the Legislature, as would arise from the in-
discriminate admission of all cabs, without any
controlling power being vested in the railway
authorities. If the matter were left in the hands
of the Commissioners of Police, the boundaries
might be so defined as to render it impossible foT
the Railway Company to carry on their other
business. And, as we have stated, their could
be no exclusion, no preference shown to
the well-behaved and trustworthy man, the
necessary result would be that the companies
should exclude all cabs, or public vehicles of any
description, to the very serious detriment of pas-
sengers of every class and grade in society.
There would, in fact, be no limit to the amount
of inconvenience.

" The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce markets during the past month have not been on
so extensive a scale as those of the previous one, but im-
porters have been firm, and the quotations are mostly
unaltered. The deliveries for home consumption
continue very satisfactory, and the want of acti-
vity is chiefly attributed to the season of the year,
there being generally a disinclination on the part of
dealers to purchase freely at the close of the year ; and
there is also the usual falling off in the export demand,
consequent upon the closing of the rivers in the North
of Europe. The demand for Dyes and Dying Materials
has been steady, with a moderate business doing ; pre-
vious rates are well supported for the leading articles,
except for Cochineal and Safflower, which are easier ;
the deliveries of the former have improved, but the
large proportion: of the stock in the hands of Specu-
lators, whose movements are uncertain, causes a want
of confidence in the article, and as the market is freely
supplied there is no inducement to go into stock ; con-
sequently, dealers and others purchase only for imme-
diate requirement. The late accounts from the Conti-
nental Produce markets report Sugar as steady. Rice
and Indigo were in partial demand at previous rates."
Of the London Silk market, Mr. Henry W.
Eaton states, that there is—
" A surplus on the total stock of India and China Silk,
as compared with the same period last year, of only 578
bales, with an increased delivery of 679 bales over that
of November, 1851, while the total consumption to date
of 1852, shows an increase of 467 bales per month. The
Silk market during last month has, on the whole, expe-
rienced a fair current demand."
111ie state of the railway share market during the
month of October is summed up by Messrs.
Lamond and Co. in the following terms
" Not much activity is evinced among the promoters
of home undertakings. The Chatham and Canterbury
Local Railway is designed to accommodate the traffic
between those places, and is supported by the most
respectable parties in the locality. The capital stated is
300,0001., in 15,000 shares of 201. each, deposit 21. per
share ; and if the act for the line be not passed, no
greater amount than ss. per share will be retained for
Parliamentary and other expenses. The Great Western
and City Junction Railway requires a capital of 275,000/.,
in 13,750 shares of 201. each, deposit 2/. ; and the pro-
moters propose that accommodation shall through this
line be given to Kilburn, Finchley, and Haverstock-hill,
finally effecting a junction with the East and West India
Dock Railway, at or near the Grange-road, Kentish-
town. The shareholders of the East India Railway
Company have confirmed the contract for the additional
million of capital to carry out the extension line to
Rajmahal, the guarantee of interest by the authorities in.
Leadenhall-street being 41 per cent. The new shares
issued under this arrangement will be offered rateably to
the proprietors of the old.

"An increased business has been transacted in the
shares of the several Australian Banks. Those of the
old establishments, the Bank of Australasia and the
Union Bank of Australia, have considerably improved.
The dividends shortly to be declared will, it is stated,
show the prosperous condition of their affairs, and, under
these circumstances, purchases have been made on the
behalf of influential capitalists. The Bank of Austra-
lasia shares have advanced from 60 to 71, and the Union
of Australia from 57 to 61. The shares of the newly
constituted companies have also been largely operated
in, and the demand has been principally for those of the
London Chartered Bank of Australia, and the Bank of
India, China and Australia. Not much has been done
in English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank
shares, but their price is firm."

The imports into Belgium during the first six
months of 1852, included 78,765,179 kilogrammes
of wheat, and the exports 382,381 kilogrammes of
wheat, and 11,222,577 kilogrammes of rye.
The price of silver has declined, sales having
been made at 61id. per ounce.
The correspondence between the Committee of
Turkish Bondholders and Earl Malmesbury, has
been published, and fully bears out what was
stated under this head a few days back. His
Lordship declines interference, but hopes the
Turkish Government will, as he is assured they
iniond, pay ha olr the principal, with some allnumuce
of interest. The Loan being contracted, however,
with an immediate deduction of 2 per cent., for
commission, the Turkish Government has ob-
viously not received the full amount paid by
the subscribers, and therefore a return of the
capital would not be at all satisfactory.
Together with the correspondence, we have a copy
of the terms upon which the contract was entered
into, and consequently every one may judge for
himself.

Now, in order to accomplish this object we must neces-
sarily take into consideration means as well as ends, and
there must be an impartial dealing with every class of the
great community composing the British empire.
First, then, with regard to the claims which an impartial
system of free trade necessarily makes upon an honest Ad-
ministration, we have the acknowledged burdens under
which agriculture and the landed interests suffer ; and we
have the interests both of the owner and the occupier to
deal with. With regard to those interests combined, a re-
construction of our poor laws would afford a great relief
from the huge load with which landlords and tenants have
had to struggle, and an equalization of taxation in this
respect is one obvious way in which this relief could be af-
forded. To make the poor-law fund a charge upon the
national revenue would be one mode in which this could
be accomplished, and this would at once put an end to all
difficulties as to the law of settlement, &c. We, of course,
cannot say whether such an arrangement of the difficulty
will be proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; but
such an arrangement would not create an increased de-
mand upon the national purse. Yet it is very likely that
the consideration of this question may be for the present
postponed. If postponed, we have no doubt that ere the
great fact shall be accomplished, Mr. Disraeli will propose
other means, developed in his speeches delivered to his
constituents and the country, for the relief of the agricul-
tural classes.
It is almost impossible that, in deference to public
opinion, some reconstruction of the income and property
tax will not be proposed in the budget of to-night ; and
any re-construction of it which would be popular or tend
to the carrying out of the principles of free trade must
involve a considerable loss of revenue. A tax upon
property realised or existing we cannot hold to be
an unjust impost ; but an equal tax upon incomes
which, uncertain in their character, cease with the
lives of those who earn them, is not a fair allotment
of burdens, which should be borne relatively to their means
by all who partake of the benefits afforded by our laws and
our constitution. However the Government may decide
on this, we have no doubt that the result will be satisfac-
tory to the public, although it may compel a reduction of
the national income from the sources whence it is at pre-
sent derived.
The general desire for the reduction of the tax upon tea
may be possibly recognised in the budget ; and if so, any
considerable reduction of the duty would leavo a large de-
ficiency in our national income.
If the demands of our Irish spirit-dealers be acceded to
another defficiency will be created ; and should the malt
tax be at all dealt with, that deficiency must be consider-
ably augmented.
With reference. a. Gut) auty on hops Laz.,.. .....11 a;c_
ierence of opinion. That a reduction or abolition of a tax,
conceived and carried out in the spirit of a gambler, is de-
sirable, we have no doubt ; the question is whether the
financial scheme of the Government may leave them the
means for dealing with that portion of our income. We
can only hope that it may.
Now with regard to the " taxes upon knowledge," we
shall be content if the duty on advertisements be dealt with.
For ourselves we cannot help stating that we are desirous
the penny stamp upon the newspaper should be continued.
The whole question, however—occupying, as it has done,
the attention of the public for a long period—is likely, we
think, to demand the notice of the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer.

A vote of thanks to Miss Eliza Cook, and the two
other trustees, for the great exertions they have made to
increase the amount of the fund, and also to the Com-
mittee, was carried unanimously.

A resolution was then moved, That a general Corn.
mittee be appointed to manage the raising and appro.
priation of the subscriptions, selected from the general
body of the subscribers.
_ _

Mr. LONG placed this matter in so clear a point
of view, that we cannot refrain from quoting his
very words. He said :

Mr. BALFOUR opposed the resolution. He would ask
the mover whether any of the long list of subscribers, 1
from the Duke of Devonshire downward, had expressed
their dissatisfaction at the present composition of the
Committee ? For his own part, as one of the Com-
mittee, if there could be found any body of gentlemen,
literary or otherwise, who could do better than the pre-
sent Committee had done, he was quite willing to retire.
He thought they had all done their duty, from Miss
Eliza Cook, who had gone to Kensal-green and stood in
the damp--(laughter)—to write a poem on Hood's grave,
down to the humblest Committee-man. There would be
one inconvenience attending this proposition, and that
would be, that they would have to introduce into the
Committee not only the Duke of Devonshire, who headed
the list, but also the "poor needle-women," who
came at the bottom ; and he left it to gentlemen who
were acquainted with public business to say how a
Committee of that sort would act. (Hear.)
Mr. MAGUIRE opposed the motion in an eloquen
speech.

The SECRETARY said, that he had within the last few
days received a letter from Hood's daughter, expressing
her extreme gratification that the intention to place a
monument over her father's grave should have origi-
nated where it did, and assuring him that both herself
and her brother felt as much pleasure in that simple fact
as in the design itself. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. ESPINASSE defended the Committee. Looking at
what had been done for Moore, who, socially speaking,
stood much higher than Hood, he thought the present
Committee had done much more than any other which
had ever been formed for a similar purpose. (Hear,
hear.)

After some further discussion the motion was nega-
tived almost unanimously, only the proposer and se-
conder, and two other gentlemen, voting for it.
The meeting then separated after a vote of thanks to
the Chairman.

[Want of space prevents our giving a fuller report at
present, and doing ample justice to the manly eloquence
of the several speakers—Mr. Hart in particular.]

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR 25
LIVERPOOL, ON THE LONDON AND NORTH- 25
WESTERN RAIL WA Y.-AN ENGINE-DRIVER -
AND STOKER KILLED.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY NIGHT, 12 O'CLOCK.
This afternoon, a shocking accident occurred on the
London and North-Western Railway. a,t Huyton, near
this town, by which the engine-driver and fireman of the
express train from Liverpool to London were killed.
The express train for London left Liverpool, as usual'

8 I 'all

at a quarter past five o'clock this afternoon, and pro-
ceeded at its usual rapid rate of speed. On arriving at
Huyton, a distance of about six miles from Liverpool,
and whilst going at the rate of about 40 miles an hour,
the engine suddenly ran off the line on the near side of
the railway, and rolled down on to the side of an em-
bankment. The engine ran across the rails with tre-
mendous force, tearing up the train-way and sleepers to
the extent of nearly 100 yards, leaving, in its course, the
broken fragments of the iron railing scattered in every
direction up and down the line. The train consisted of
four first-class carriages, and a luggage van and
break waggon. The coupling chains by which
the carriages were attached to the engine were
broken, and whilst the engine was driven off the
up line of rails, and embedded in the earth on the
left embankment, the carriages were forced from the
up line, and thrown in an oblique direction, partly upon
the down line, the effect of which was that both the up
and down line were blocked up and the trains were
stopped. On an inspection, immediately after the
accident, it was discovered that both the engine-
driver and the fireman had been pitched off
the engine, and no doubt killed on the spot. When the
mangled remains of the poor fellows were discovered, a
frightful sight presented itself. The engine-driver was
lying on the side of the embankment with his head com-
pletely severed from his body, and the fireman was lying
some yards from him, the body being cut into two
pieces, just below the stomach, and otherwise shockingly,
mutilated. The guard fortunately, but almost miracu-
lously, escaped injury, and on looking into the carriages
it was also found that none of the passengers had suf-
fered. Their escape is attributed to the coupling chain
of the engine having broken at the moment when the
engine flew off the line. This was a providential circum-
stance, for had the engine dragged the carriages
after it down the embankment, it may easily be imagined
that the destruction of human life would have been still
more fearful than it was under the circumstances of
the catastrophe.

' "It had been said that cab proprietors paid a large
sum of money for their licences to work their vehicles,
and that they ought all to have an equal chance of suc-
cess. Yes ;if they all possessed good cabs and good
horses, then let them all be treated alike ; but could any-
thing be more notorious than that there was the widest
possible difference in the appearance and cleanliness of
cabs, and in the behaviour and character of the drivers.
The railway companies selected the best of cabs and the
most respectable drivers, and as far as his own experience
went, he seldom had anything to find fault with, either as
to the cabs or the men driving them. On the whole, he had
no doubt it was a very great good that railway companies
selected cabs of the best sort, and drivers civil in beha-
viour, and honest in their conduct. He was of opinion
that the words in the act meant plying for hire in public
places only, andj that the Legislature did not intend in
any degree that the act should apply to or interfere with
private property, which railway stations were. The,
summons must be dismissed, as the plying for hire in
this case was not plying for hire within the meaning of
the act of Parliament.'

We hope and believe that this sound and able
decision will be finally 'adopted, and that the
public will be spared the injury and annoyance
which a rigid adherence to Mr. A'BECKETT'S orders
would necessarily occasion. If his judgment
should by any possibility be sustained, a
legislative remedy would be required, and
would doubtiesa be speedily granted ; but in
the interim an amount of damage would ensue
of which it is impossible to form an adequate
estimate. We can scarcely suppose that Mr.
A'BEcKErr will be so wedded to his own opinion
as to refuse an opportunity of appeal, should the
matter again come within his jurisdiction.

THE 111.ADIAI—The Berlin Spenera Gazette of the 29th
ult., stated that the 31adiai would be liberated by the
Duke of Tuscany on the Ist of December. This measure,
it wr-a said, was due to the direct intercession of the Ring
of Prussia, through Count Arnim Blumberg.
INCREASE OF THE NAVY.—The increase to the naval
forces will be asked for in a supplementary estimate, and
that when granted, as we are assured they will be, the en-
try of seamen and enlistment of marines will commence
forthwith.

The English Funds have been weak this morn-
ing, and there is very little doing in them, most
parties being anxious to await the Budget. The idea
of a reduction in the rate of interest upon Consols
could not, it is thought, be carried out, unless a bo-

the market would speedily fall under par. Bank

The increase of the navy and army, which has been re-
solved on, will of course add to the estimates which must
be made for the ensuing year.
Then, with reference to our Excise duties, they are bur-
densome, inquisitorial, and expensive with reference to col-
lection. The more extensively they are dealt with by Mr.
Disraeli, the more popular will be his financial statement.
The report upon the wine trade is suggestive ; a reduc-
tion of the import duties on wine would be popular, if it
can be afforded.
Now, with reference to our colonies : we scarcely think
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer can.,reduce the duty
on sugar, or modify the differential tax upon that article,
but our dependencies in the West Indies would be largely
relieved were an extensive system of labour importation
of the healthy, hard-working Chinese coolies undertaken at
the national expense. This, again, would cost money.
Should any—some or all of the items we have enume-
rated, be embraced in the Budget of Mr. Disraeli, there
mist be a very extensive alteration, as well as re-construc-
tion, in our system of taxation.
How, then, are the means to be found to meet the ends
which we have suggested. Some persons speak of a duty
on coal. This would, however, involve the objections
which we have offered to any increase of our Excise system.
Prospectively the decrease of the interest on the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. will afford a considerable
increase of the revenue, but an augmentation which is in-
considerable in reference to the reductions which must be
contemplated in a comprehensive financial scheme. The
extension of the income tax to Ireland—an act of justice
to England, and one of which the Irish could not complain
if their burdens in reference to the poor laws, &c. were
lightened—this would add considerably to the national
purse, but not sufficiently to meet the losses from the re-
duction of taxation, felt generally, which we have a right
to expect from Mr. Disraeli.
What reason, then, we ask, is there, in the present state
of the Money Market, why; the interest on Consols should
not be reduced ? Here is a fund whereon to found's com-
prehensive budget—to enable a Chancellor of the Exche-
quer to deal with our whole fiscal and financial system sa-
tisfactorily, thoroughly, and equitably. The fundholder
has benefited more than any member of the community
from free trade ; and if the principle is to be caned out
honestly and faithfully, the fundholder has a right to pay
his portion of the tribute towards a national pledge to a
national policy. We know not whether this will form a
portion of the financial scheme of Mr. Disraeli ; but, unau-
thorised by an intimation, uninformed by a word from any
official quarter, we suggest that to obtain the due means
for a great object, the Chancellor of the Exchequer should
not object to deal with a fund which has been made by
free trade a debtor to the nation. Reduce the interest on
Consols, and—we stake our credit on. it—not 500,000/,
would be required to pay off the recusants. What could
they do with their money if they had it in hard cash ?

COURT CIRCULAR.

OSBORNE, DEC. 2.

The Queen and Prince, with the Prince of Leiningen,
took their usual walks yesterday.
The Royal children also rode and walked in the
grounds.
Colonel Bouverie has arrived as Equerry in Waiting to
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Hon. Colonel
Grey has succeeded Major-General Buckley as Equerry
to her Majesty.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon, at
the Foreign-office, Downing-street. It was attended by
the Earl of Derby, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of
Lonsdale, the Marquis of Salisbury, Mr. Secretary Wal-
pole, the Earl of lVfalmesbury, Sir John Pakington, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Northumber-
land, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, the Earl of Hard-
wicke, the Right Hon. J. C. Herries, and Lord John
Manners. The Council sat one hour.
A deputation from the Crystal Palace Company, con.
sisting of Mr. Laing, M.P., chairman; Mr. Geach, M.P.,
Mr. Andersoa. Mr. Farquhar, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Leech
(solicitor), and Grove (secretary), had an interview
with the Earl of Derby yesterday, at his official residence
iri Downing-street.
from the leading firms
American SteamMS.Pcr.ewpreCosmenptaednya, memorial against the
graMntrinTug arncehra'rter to the London, Liverpool, and North
of Liverpool engaged in the trade to North America, to
the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, on Tuesday last, at the
Board of Trade, at the same time as the deputation from
Glasgow,_ &c., with the same object.
Mr. Wilson Patten had an interview yesterday with
g 6,21. of Derby.
plopai.ches were received at the Colonial-office yester-
day, from the Governor of Ceylon, Hong-Kong, &c.,
Malta, and the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian
Wands.

The news.of the disaster was almost immediately tele-
graphed to Liverpool, and in a few minutes an engine
and a number of waggons, containing about 100 work-
men, were despatched to the scene of the accident, to
assist in clearing the line, which was now impassable
either way. Meanwhile several trains to and from
Liverpool had arrived at Huyton, and could proceed no
further—the line was thus blocked up both on the Liver-
pool and Manchester side. The first object was to
dispatch the express train to London. It was not deemed
safe to send on any of the carriages which had been de-
tached from the ill-fated engine, and therefore, on the
arrival near Iruyton of the half-past five o'clock first-
class train from Manchester, the passengers of the last
named train were transferred to the train from Liver-
pool which had followed the express, and so sent on
to Liverpool, while those of the passengers by
the express who chose to go forward, were placed
in the Manchester carriages, and these went for-
ward to London after about two hours' delay. In the
meantime, the trains from Manchester, London, and the •
North, continued to arrive in quick succession at the •
scene of the disaster, but were unable to proceed on their
journey in consequence of the line being still blocked up.
Several of the trains from Liverpool were detained at 1.
that station for several hours, until it was ascertained
that the line was clear. Eventually, the line was cleared
about ten o'clock, and the trains which had thus been
detained proceeded after a delay of upwards of five hours. 3
The London train, which is due at Liverpool at a quarter •
before eight o'clock, was the first train which passed over
that part of the line after the accident, and it arrived in
Liverpool at eleven o'clock. At the time I write (12 3
o'clock) the over-due trains are still being dispatched to
Manchester, London, and the North.

In the hurry and confusion of the moment, it is diffi-
cult to ascertain how the accident occurred, but it is
supposed by many that it was owing to the slippery
state of the rails. There was a heavy fall of hail just
before the express left Liverpool, and it is conjectured
that this may have had a prejudicial effect on the rails.
No doubt the matter will be fully investigated at the in-
quest.—Correspondent.

COURT OF COMMON COUNClL.—Yesterday a Court
was held for the dispatch of business, when the new Lord
Mayor took the chair for the first time. A vote of thanks
to the late Lord Mayor, for his conduct while in office, was
unanimously passed. Mr. Deputy Conley requested to be
informed whether a day had been fixed for the entertain-
ment at Guildhall in lieu of the feast of the 9th of Novem-
ber, postponed on account of the death of his Grace the
Duke of Wellington? The Lord Mayor said he felt plea-
sure in stating that invitations had gone out for the Bth
instant, and that he had every reason to believe that the
City would be honoured upon the occasion by the presence
of a number of distinguished guests. In answer to a ques-
tion from Mr. Deputy Harrison, who doubted the right of
a committee of the court.tq appoint a deputation without
the consent of the court itself, to represent the corporation
at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, Mr. John Wood
stated that the committee had, as it would be found when
the report should be brought up, acted upon the precedent
of the proceedings on the funeral of Lord Nelson,ed com-
pletely protected the civil privileges.—Adjourned.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY•)

CORN EXCHANGE,
The present week's arrival of English wheat uPi:ll
market, coastwise, has amounted to 2 190 quarterb fro, „4
in middling condition. By land carriage the receipt
up to-day were very moderate, and the show of no

was comparatively small. As millers in gena'illopni
limited stock, the demand for all kinds of wheat ahose
produce ruled steady, at prices fully equal to v.' tis!ri
Monday last ; indeeu, in some few instances, that
quotations were somewhat exceeded. ums
From abroad, 14,370 quarters of wheat have v-nciel)

ported, chiefly from the altic. .Most kinds comni
firm inquiry, at fully the late advance in prices. 001.
Floating cargoes of wheat were mostly held for
money; but the business doing was not extensive..., oil
Fine malting barley moved off steadily, at previef,:jetl
but grinding and distilling sorts met a very
market.
In the value of malt no change took place. The q
on offer was but moderate. °,r
We had rather an improved sale for oats; in prime'
