about a feeling of insecurity, by making themselves objects

(as we understood), to eighty-three millions, nine hundred

and had the effect of making many suppose that our wade
was increasing, and was one of the causes which led to Ast
spirit of aggression against the commerce of Great Britanz
on the part of Russia, France, and America. To convince
the meeting iliat they could not do without instituting an in-
quiry into these sui)jrctg, such as he had proposed, he would_
mention one or two fact:. In Poland we obtained and.
guaranteed the rights of unnalited commerce throughout
the whole of that country, as conotituted in 1772, giving
it a connexion which would have done more to strengthen
it, if properly looked to, than any other ; but scarcely was
the treaty of Vienna settled when an order came out for
regulating the trade of Poland, and this order, like that;
made at Java, was acceded to ; and to follow up this
blow, there came, in 1819, a second ukase of such a restric-
tive nature that it rendered the exportation of cotton ',Dods
almost a nullity, yet no resistance was made to it. Poland,
fell ! Had our commercial rights with that country been,
maintained it would not have fallen, its material strength!
would have been greater, and its ties with England would.
have given it consistency, unity, and moderation ; and yet
when Poland fell the politician declaimed and the phifssa-
thrt;nist mourned, but where was the mercantile community'
of Great Britain, the real and now the only guardians of
the rights of ,;:iankind by the maintenance of their own.
word would have been decisive.
From that body 0;:c
What was the object which led Russia to turn her atten-
tion to the East'? counteract the control which It was tt;
we had over her commerce, and tlle more certainly to im-

which must ultimately lead to a collision with this country,
her grand object was to become independent

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE
LIVERPOOL and MANCHESTER RAILWAY.

We regret to state that a dreadful collision took place•
this morning on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway..
It appears, as far as we have been able to ascertain the
particulars of the accident, that the seven o'clock train
from Manchester had, in consequence of something being
wrong in the macbinery of the engine, stopped at Huytoa
Quarry to repair the damage. As the Birmingham mail
train was about due, and as it would come down on the
same incline, precautions were taken, we have been in-
formed, to warn the engineers of the stoppage of the Man-
chester train on the road. These precautions seem not to
have been effectual, or they escaped the notice of the Grand
Junction people, for the engine of this train dashed into the
carriages of the Manchester train. The crash was dread-
ful. The carriages, particularly those next to the downs
engine, were broken in pieces, the seats being broken into
fragments. Fortunately, many of the passengers, owing to
the stoppage of the train, had got out on the road, and
escaped the effects of the collision. Of those who remained
in their seats, several were slightly hurt by the shock, while
three were, we have heard, dreadfully maimed. One
gentleman was so much injured that apprehensions are en-
tertained for his life : he was conveyed back to Manchester.
