THE PENSION OF THE COUNTESS OF ELGIN.

The house went into committee.
Lord PALMERSTON said there was no occasion on
which the house had a more grateful duty to perform than
to acknowledge the services of those who had sacrificed
their time and probably their lives to the service of their
country. Having narrated the services of Lord Elgin, the
noble lord proposed that a pension of £l,OOO a year should
be granted to the Countess of Elgin, adding that the
East Indian Department have granted her a sum of equal
amount.
Lord STANLEY, in seconding the motion, expressed
the entire and cordial concurrence of the Conservative side
of the house is the estimate which Lord Palmerston had
made of Lord Elgin's services.
In answer to Sir W. WILLOUGHY,

Sir C. WOOD said the £l,OOO a-year to be granted by
the Indian Department would not require confirmation from
the House of Commons.

The vote was then agreed to.
COLLECTION OF TAXES BILL.
The house then went into committee on this bill.

The Railway Accident at Egham.

This afternoon the Coroner for Surrey commenced
his inquiry into the circumstances attending the
deaths of John Cuppard, Edwin Hill, Mr. Wilkie,
Joseph Clegg, and William Winfield, at the Rail-
way Inn, Egham. The authorities of the South.
Western Railway were in attendance, and
waiting for
every person in their employ who could
give information relative to the circumstances
attending the terrible calamity were in
examination, the directors being anxious that the
most searching investigation should take place.
Owing to the lateness of the time for the: commence:
ment of the proceedings, and the interruption of the
ordinary trains to Egham by the specials to the
Ascot race meeting, the only evidence taken up to
the time of despatching our parcel was that of iden-
tification, of the bodies.

The inquiry will, of course, be adjourned.
