and wishing to enjoy his performance more frequently'

is but oce method by which geniuses so fervid
and tempers at once so active and so acrid can
find a vent for their utmost energy, without the
necessity of distorting facts, or the risk of compromising
the national peace. That method is so select for vilifi-
cation only such subjects as admit of no second opinion
when once their concealed er usobaerved enormities
have been dragged to public view. Now, on the
matter of sinecures we perceive that our ountem-
porary has said some very just things the other day in
a style of indignant eloquence, and Mr. Moore was
very severely handled. Let our contemporary not
abandon this fertile theme. Let us have some more
sinecurists withered; and since the clerical holders
of sinecures have had the first blow, let the lay
holders, in all fairness, feel the next; and so by
turns, the whole world of corrupt indolence shall be
shaken to its centre. To mention an instance at ran-
dom, bat still a gigantic instance—there is Mr. Gre-
ville. What does that amiable gentleman do, or what
has he ever done, that he should yearly receive 2,0001.
of the public money, under the mere style (for it is no
more) of enacting clerk to the Privy Council? We be-
lieve we state the exact truth when we say, that the
only service imposed upon that gentleman in return for
this rather considerable yearly salary is the service of
buttoning it up in his breeches pocket. Then there is
the further annual payment to him of 3,000/. of public
money, :or
no service at all. Whoever be the indi-
vidual, common sense tells us that it were 3.0001. a
year too much ; but what shall be said when it is
the same person, the very same Mr. Greville already
mentioned as holder of another sinecure of 2,0001. per
annum, who is also holder of this 3,0001.? What, more-
over, when the latter 3,000/ a year are derived from
an impoverished and ruined island, which is forced in
its adversity to bear this preposterous burden still?
Mr. Greville receives that sum yearly from Jamaica;
and has received it, for doing nothing, these twenty-
five years. To him, at least, Jamaica has furnished
sugar, and has furnished it gratuitously, to the
amount of 75,000/. sterling. Of pounds of sugar
you have here some 5,000,000 ; a treasure with
which the nation parts to an individual, for no
assignable reason at all, and at the peculiar cost of
a ruined and miserable dependency. We do not know
with what feelings the holder of these 5,0001. sterling of
gratuitous public money may regard Mr. Moore, or any
other sinecurist. Mr. Moore
at least pays his
subordi-
nates for performing certain 11
we -known duties. But,
while we are convinced that Mr. Greville would not have
written the articles which
a
nay against Mr. Moore (poPreairted in our ccntempo-
onild have been a
mockery), we feel impelled to commend h r. Greville him-
self arid his life-long sinecures to the attention
tendtion of the
writer (whoever he be), who every other
'starts facts
in the columns of our contemporary for the
pose
should seem, of rendering a good understanding, asit
9n the
part of France towards England, hopeless and impos-
sible. We my " distorts facts." For example, our con-
temporary stated the other day that the monument of
the Duke d'Eng'nien had, at midnight, by the hands of
soldiers, been removed from the chapel where
it was erected, for the purpose of effacing an
object which continually reminded men of a passage
in the life of the Emperor, better forgotten. Arid
in order to make the meaning of this charge quite
unequivocal, we would ask our readers, if they be in
doubt, to look again at our contemporary's article,
where they will find a menacing peroration to the effect
that there is no blotting out the remembrance of events
like this, and that the hearts of men were its monuments.
Now, what says our contemporary? It acknowledges
that the monument is still in the chapel, but in another
part of the chapel. The fact is that the simple change
effected was purely and entirely an architectural arrange-
ment. And in this consisted the felon act, the base and
heartless vindictiveness towards the very ashes of the
dead, respecting which our contemporary can afford to
be so elcquent ! We may spare our commentary. 'Mis-
representations so wilful, so perverse, and so malignant,
defeat themselves.—fierald.

ALARMING EXPLOSION AND LOSS
OF LIFE.

Yesterday an inquest was held at Guy's Hospital, on
the bcdy of Charles Noble Farebrother, aged thirty,
rnathemt.tical instrument maker, who lost his life by
an explosion on the premises of Mr. Darker, of No. 9,
Paradise-street Lambeth-walk. Henry Sexton, of No.
10, John-street, Lambeth, a brass-finisher, stated that
he had known the deceased about three years, and had
worked with him in the service of Mr. Darker.
On Thursday afternoon last, deceased had charge of
a wrought-iron boiler, which was intended for an
hydro-electric machine, ordered for the University
College, Cambridge, which they were fitting up ac-
cording to the original plan. The deceased was at the
forge about three o'clock in the afternoon, and had
charged the boiler (which was only nine inches in dia-
meter) with the usual quantity of water, for the pur-
pose of testing it, when witness said, " Charley, how is
the steam ?" when the deceased replied, " Oh, just up."
Witness left the forge to go to the vice, when Mr. Darker
entered the shop, and in about a minute afterwards a
loud explosion took place. Witness ran towards the
forge, but the smoke and dust wore so thick he could not
see them for a few minutes. The forgo was blown down,
and a portion of the roof had been carried away. Witness
heard the deceased calling for help, and exclaim " Drag
me out." Witness then discovered the deceased nearly
covered with bricks and rubbish, and with diffi-
culty got him out into the yard. He groaned, and
seemed much injured by the weight which had fallen

SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIDENT. -The Thursday
evening express train, from Euston- square to Manchester, ,
ran off the line at about nine o'clock at night, when it had

reached a point about three miles north of Crewe, and was
travelling at a rate of 40 miles an hour. It seems that a
buffer with a long iron rod attached to it, left probably by a
train that had preceded the express, was laid on one portion
of the line. The iron guard in front of the engine struck it,
and the engine-driver becoming aware of the circumstance,
kept a sharp 100k-out. After running 200 yards further, he
found so much cause for alarm that he at once put on his
break and reversed his engine, bringing up the train in about
100 yards further. The moment of stoppage was a critical
one, for on getting to the front of the engine he discove

FIRE ON BOARD THE CANADA STEAMER.—OH the
last outward voyage of the Canada between Liverpool and
New York, the vessel narrowly escaped destruction by fire.
Atter leaving Liverpool it was found that one of the passeu-
gers was insane, and had to be put under restraint. The
person appointed to watch him having left the cabin of the
madman fora short time, it was immediately discovered to
be in flames, and it was only by means (if the most strenuous
exertions that the fire Was extinguished, Tie intelligence
was brought in a lecer sent home by the last American mail
steamer, which passed the Canada before she arrived at Hali-
fax. This accounts for the news not having reached England
through the medium of the American papers.
