BRISTOL and EXETER RAILWAY.
On Tuesday, the ht pf June, the Directors and Propriet;:rai
to about the number of 400, upon the completion of the line
to Bridgwater, made an exeursi at to that town. They left
in the fire .ball engine with eight Cilrr4gea attached to it, and
compassed the distance of 3 miles in an hour and three
quarters. On their arrival at figs Bridgwater station, a hand-
some cold breakfast Wag laid out for them in the shell of the
large building intended to form a new hotel. T. Ricketts,
EN., the Chairman of the Directors, presided, supported on
his right by the Mayor of Bridgwater, R. Bagshot, Esq.
After the healths of" The. Queen, Prince Albert, and the
Royal Family" had been drank,
The CHAIRMAN, on rising, congratulated the Directors and
himself on their having reached by railway the loyal town of
Bridgwater—a city in ancient times besieged by the troops of

Fairfax, and to min they had now, by the railway, laid ,-4 age,
but not with a hostile view, for it was with the mt,ention of
bringing trade, commerce, and prosperity to its inhabitants. Ha
further stated that thirty-four miles of the line were now
formed, and the eleven miles otween that town and Taunton
would be finished in the summer of next year; and he al_

THE AGITATION.
The bread-taxers complain daily and nightly in Par-
• liament and the press of the dreadful agitation for a
cheap loaf. They do not, however, dislike agitation,
but they want to have it all on their own side. They
have formed agricultural protection societies; they.have
subscribed large sums ; they despatch hired and paid
agents, with sounding professional titles, throughout the
country ; they hold lectures; they bribe some of the
working classes to betray their fellows; and they put
forth, on purpose to agitate the labourers, the most false
and scandalous statements about the rewards of
labour in this and other countries. Their great
object is to . persuade the toil-worn, half-starved
people of England, that they are better fed and better
paid than any other people on the wide earth. Un-
doubtedly they ought to be, for they are more skilful
and more industrious than other labourers. But what
others get is not the question ; the real question is do
they get enough ? do they get what justice requires ?
are they free to buy and sell, and get as much as they
can ? are they, who produce such masses of wealth for
the squires and the parsons, themselves well fed and
clothed ? They are not ; and while they raise immense
yearly incomes for Archbishops and Bishops, for Dukes,
Lords, and Squires, they are themselves in a starving condi-
tion. This is not right, whatever may be the condition of
other labourers, and the worse that is, the more are our
landlords to blame for wishing our labourers to be con-
tented with something just a little better. If our la-
bourers are now true to themselves, and tell the bread-
taxers to preach patience to those who are well fed, they
may undoubtedly remedy the evils of which they complain.
The condition of the Polish slaves and the Russian serfs 1
is no criterion for them; they are free men. Why should
' the parson, and the squire, and the pensioner, be always
sure of his income, whatever may be the seasons and the
weather, and the labourer who produces the income
of others never be secure of his daily bread ? This is
an inversion of the order of nature, which decrees
wealth and security to industry, and poverty and danger
to idleness. It is the duty of the labourer, therefore, to
reply to the seductive agitation of the bread-taxers, "We
care nothing about the bread which sustains slaves; we
are determined to have plenty of good white bread, and
' plenty. of meat, and we insist_ on Government_ imme-
' dia.tely abolishing your corn and pro Vision laws, by which
plenty of good bread and plenty of meat, cheap and
good, are withheld from us." So may the labourer turn
the agitation now provoked by the bread-taxers to good
account. So may they retort the false and delusive
statements about the poverty of the Russian serfs, by
which the bread-taxers seek to persuade them to resign
themselves to hunger and slavery. ':

RAILWAY EXCURSION FROM
DARLINGTON TO YORK.
On Tuesday last, the Directots of the Great North off'
England Railway gave to an immense number' of the
inhabitants of Darlington and the intermediate places, a
cheap trip to York, the fare being only five shillings
from Darlington to York and back. At an early hour
in the morning the station at Darlington was besieged
by parties wishful to avail themselves of the Companx'4
offer ; and at half-past nine o'clock, the time tA.w.;imfed
for starting, the trains were filled by et wif.4eetable ce-.
pany, a great number of who Alt had eeme' fro'— Hartle-
pgB,l, Middlesbro', Stoekton, Shildowt-'";,, by special
Ws; krill4hed by the Stock
t 7.;n and Darlington and
4ittoehtun and Hartlepool railway companies, All the
,Itee.ond_elass cen-lages the CoMpany could muster were
put-in requisition, al; well, A number of second and
third class cealiase..N "-..-wtowed from the York and North
Midtal-14 eempany ' • and, in order to provide
qc..cfmArecetetion Ae all, a large number of spring-
i.lemltecl Merchandise waggons were fitted up with seats
tor the oecasion. The morning was beautiful, the sun
smiling pleasantly, and the party all appeared well
rk.a.sed with the prospect of their excursion. About ten
o'clock the engine 4 worn put in motion and went off sur-
rounded by a hot of spectators, who cast a long linger-
ing laoh id the lengthy trains as they began to leave
them in the distance. The trains were propelled at a
great speed, and the engines soon were " careering in
thunder alone—
On, on to the goal, over valley and mound,
flow tvond'rous and rapid his race !
Afar as he speeds, rock and river resound
'Neath the tread of his fire brightened pace.
At the stations at Croft, Cowtou, Northallerton, Thirsk,
Arne, and Shipton, the number of the party was consi-
derably augmented, especially at Northallerton and
Thirsh, where carriages were ready filled to be atteelted
to the trains. At all the stations there were immense
crowds drawn up to see " the folks," and the bridges
along the line also had their share of visitors. The
party arrived At car nifty soon after twelve o'clock, the
bar WI% Were occupied by numbers of our fellows
*Wens and when' the visitors had alighted from the
train the spacious and splendid station prerated an ap-
pearance not easy to be described, end therefore we will
not attempt it. The streets of Old Ebor were soon
thronged by the' party \wilding their way towards the
various "lions" of WI, our noble Minster being tho akia
Point attraetion, which seemed to strike may. with
taiepAse ; next was the Museum, with to delightful
grounds attached, which were thrmiu open gratuitously
to the public. Here we ohstpred many of the " canny
lasses" of the north winlenading the gardens, admiring
the ruins of St_ Mary's Abbey, the fountains in full 7011 y,
andinapecting the curiosities located within, our Mu-
aeam. The Castle, too, had a goodly 1-I.ruber of visitors.
many of whom viewed with raoktiishment the massy
walls which encircle that Wooptacle of malethotors. Some
few went as far m the Cemetery, but in short we may say
that altlAwiih the time allowed in Yolic was short, every
CA-14 ioemed to dispose of it to the beat advantage. At a
quarter past four the ttatie,n, i 4 Tanner-row again pre-
sented a scenetlke• rwrann was literally covered with
a illovinAWAa p,F, human beings ; when the 101 l rung,
limpl?.Pmg3/441 ho seen running in all direetiiais, climbing
(ecte,:tha waggons, and the.first left Old Ebor com-
pletely laden ; there was no,t, w believe, a spare inch.
anywhere. A second twin train soon afterwards fol-
lowed with the rmAinder of the party, and the station
again pre:seated its ordinary appearance, This is the
prea.sure excursion which the P,irectors have given,
but from the success which la,s, attended it, we need not
hesitate to prophesy that it will not be the last ; though,
by the by, we hop:. on the next occasion more time will
beAlloYM3/4 at York. The novel character of the excur-
g;rsn- the perfection of the arrangements—the good
spirit which animated the whole of the party—together
with the favourable nature of the weather, that marplot
to holiday loygi tended to bring about the de-
sired end---is the greatest happinesa of the greatest
number."
It would have given us, gereat pleasure if we eoWd have
concluded our few Wiwi' remarks by saying, "no acci-
dent occurred to mar the pleasures of the day ;" but we
regret to have to state that, on the homeward journey,
Mr. Hutchinson, of Darlington, one of the conductors of
the train, a very ttsipeotable young man, met with an ac-
cident, from 41v4 ettbcts of which we tbm he will not soon
reemer, We are not in possess on of the exact cireum-
atanees of the case ; but, from all that we can learn, it
appears he left York with the second train, and when
near to Thirsk he was standing on the top of the car-
riages, when the train was approaching a bridge ; his
hentZti came in contact with it, and he was knocked down
le,sensible. On arriving at Thirsk station, he was put
into one of the carriages and conveyed to Darlington.
The last account we heard was that he was still in a very
dangerous state, but had partly recovered from his insen-
sibility.
With the exception of this unfortunate accident, the
whole trip went off vcr well indeed. The trains reached
Darlington about eight o'clock, having gone at a slow
rate, and having malty stoppages to put down passen-
pra, !Nina Wert ready at Darlington, for Stockton,
rtlPpp 1, &c., which started immediately on the arri.
‘al of the trains from York,
Since the above wesi put in type, we have been re-
quested to state that the illness of Mr, Hutchinson, the
conductor, was not the result of aoeident. It appears
that Allen near Thirsk, he -Aaras suddenly attacked with
indisposition ;. and being near a bridge at the time, per-
sons naturally aupposed when he fell that his head had
come in cemtact with it. We may also add, that the
nurnler of persons who arrived in York by the trains
from Darlington, &c., on this occasion, amounted to
nearly two thousand.
