Mr. H. MASON supported the motion. The President,
in his opening address, had said that the war in America
had been characterised by barbarities which were a disgrace
to a civilised community. Ile (Mr. Mason) was exceed-
ingly anxious that no statement should go forth from a
person in the president's position, tending in the slightest
degree to embitter the feeling existing amongst the people
of the United States towards the people of this country.
Of course, the president was very careful not to place
blame upon one hide more than another, but he was very
much afraid that an observation of that character might
produce evil if taken up in the way he was almost afraid it.
would. We all deplored that great conflict, and knew that
war was a barbarous thing, and the sooner it was put an
end to the better) but we who lived in glass houses should
not throw stones, and the very people who strapped men to
the muzzles of the gulls in India and blew them to a thou-
sand pieces were not ate men to utter remonstrances to tl
Americans as to the mode in which they should conduct the
war. The president also said he looked to the termination
of the strife in America as the termination of the distress in
Lancashire. He (Mr. Mason) ventured to think that the ter-
mination of American strife would not be the termination
of Lancashire distress.. They must look to those sources of
cotton supply which the war had caused to be developed
in other portions of the globe for relief, rather than to
an immediate and large supply of that staple formerly re-
ceived from America in such quantities. He feared the
termination of the ;war, did not mean the reproduction of
the cotton and the increase' of our supplies. The labour
of thit country would be so disorganised, and wouldl

a very small quantity. Her injuries were very severe, being

Mary Donoghue is still in a very dangerous condition, and
but little chance remains of her recovery. Lord C. Russell
visited the hospital yesterday, and had something kind to
say to each of the sufferers. The Dean of Westminster and
Lady August Stanley have also visited the hospital almost
daily, and gladdened the hearts of many by their sympathy
and consolation.-

THE WEATHER IN THE PARKs.—A large number
of persons visited the metropolitan parks yesterday
to ascertain if there was any chance of skating, but found
to their disappointment that the thaw had rendered it im-
possible for them to venture upon the ice, as in many places
there was open water. Notwithstanding this, however,
several would have risked their lives had they not been
kept back by the agents of the Royal Humane Society.

:The Accident in estminster.
Yesterday afternoon:lll.X. fit. Clare Bedford, t 10„ coront4 •
for Westntinst ~r.` commenced an- inquiry at-t4-Westrngt-

`i,Earfitt, —
Mr. New (of the firm of Tucker and New), 4, King-street ,
Cheapside, attended to watch the case for the clergy con-
nected with the church and schools.
It will be remembered that on the evening of the accident
a meeting was being held for the purpose of distributing a
series of prizes by lottery, on the plan of the Art Union, in
aid of the church of St. Mary's Chinch, liorseferry-road,
Westminster, when the flooring of the room in which the
drawing was taking place gave way, there being present at
the time nearly 500 men, women, and children, of whom
nearly 100 were injured.
The jury having been sworn, with Mr. Powell as the fore-
man, the Coroner proceeded with them to view the body,
and on their return to the. inquest-room,
Mr. Bedford said,—lt would, perhaps, be convenient to
all parties to say that at present he should only take the
evidence sufficient for the identification of the body, and
then adjourn to have an inspection of the building made by
a surveyor to ascertain the immediate cause of the accident,
although it was said the cause of it would be abundantly
apparent. There were several interests in the sad affair,
and it was desirable to have the inspection properly made.
He believed that the Metropolitan Board of Works had
interfered in the matter, and the report of their surveyor
would be important. The ruins would remain untouched
for the inspection of the jury, and the subsequent inspec-
tion by a surveyor.
The following evidence was then taken :
Robert Dale said he lived at Sheerness, and was a sergeant
in the Royal Artillery. He had seen the body of the de-
ceased. She was his sister-in-law. Her name was Elizabeth
Jane Pullen, and she was 27 years of age. She was one of
the assistant matrons at the Millbank Penitentiary. Witness
had not any knowieke of the accident but from the reports
in the newspapers.
Ellen Barry deposed that she lived at No. 4, Palmer's-
court ; about half-past 7 on Thursday evening she heard
a great crash at the Catholic Free Schoolrooms in Great
Peter-street, and went there with another person. The
flooring of the upper room had fallen, and deceased was
lying among others on the ground, partially covered with
ceiling rubbish. She was taken out and conveyed in a cab
to Westminster Hospital. She was sensible, and asked her
to go to the Penitentiary and tell the people there what had
happened.
Mr. Charles St. Aubyn Hawken stated that he was the
house surgeon at Westminster Hospital. There were 27
other sufferers by the accident under his care, and they were
all doing very well, with the exception of two, who must
certainly die. The deceased was brought in on Thursday
about eight o'clock, and was found to be suffering from
severe injuries to the spine. The whole of the lower and
part of the upper extremities were paralyzed. She lingered •
till half-past 11 on Friday, and then died. She was perfectly
conscious, but no questions were asked about the accident,
as perfect quiet was necessary. A post-mortem examination
had been made, and the injuries discovered were the cause
of death. The case was hopeless from the first. Witness
wished to say that the report that her arms had been a!,1311,
tated was quite unfounded. There were not any lIMP3
broken.
The Coroner wished to know whether anyone was pre-
sent interested in the case ?
Mr. New said he attended on behalf of the clergy attached
to the church and schools, and they were most anxiousthat
