LORD STANLEY AND MR.
HANDLEY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.

Sir—Since I requested your insertion of my correspon-
dence with Lord Stanley, I have discovered the original
letter which passed between Lord George 13entinck and
myself, in February, 1835, and which I have his Lordship's
permission to publish. I avail myself of it, firstly, be-
cause I have the satisfaction of finding that it corro-
borates my recollection in every particular ; and se-
condly, because • Lord Stanley's reply to my letter of the
6th June, while it admits " that my memery is much more
likely to be accurate than his as to whither the occasion of
my attendance at his Lordship's house was previous or subse-
quent to the vote which I gave in favour of Mr. Manners
Sutton," still implies that I sought that interview, and that
he never invited the attendance of any one at his house. I
leave Lord George Bentinck's letter to speak for itself as to
these points, only remarking that the election of Mr. Aber •
cromby took place on Thursday the 191 h, while the address
was not moved till Tuesday the 24th February, the day after
the date of Lord G. Bentinck's letter.

. .....
111 y reply, the draft of which I found with the above letter,
will best show how far the reason of my attendance at Lord
Stanley's was " not liking to give an absolute refusal to sup-
port Sir Robert Peel."

Begging the favour of you to insert this communication,
I am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant.
30, Pall-mall, June 12. HENRY H A NDLEY.
LORD GEORGE BENTINCE TO MR. HANDLEY.
(Private. )
My dear Sir,—Relieving you to be one of that chosen and
patriotic band which takes its stand between the two extremes
of party upon the ground of safe but searching Reform, giving
no confidence to the present Administration, but at the same
time honestly resolved to give a fair trial to the Ministers of
the King's choice—Lord Stanley has asked me to see you, or
to write to you, with the view to inquire whether you could
make it convenient to meet the moderate Whig party to-
morrow afternoon, at his house, No. 5, Carlton-gardens, im-
mediately after the delivery of the King's speech.
We reckon that we number about two or three and forty,
and Lord Stanley is anxious to have the assistance; advice,
and opinions of all moderate and temperate Reformers as to
the course they think it advisable to pursue generally at this
eventful moment, and, firstly, in respect to the address in an-
swer to the King's speech.
Stanley was hesitating whether to write to you himself or
not ; but fearing lest you might think it presuming in him to
do so, he requested me, as an old acquaintance, to call upon
you, and ask you whether you had any objection to meet
the juste milieu party at his house, to-morrow, at three
o'clock.

I did call first at your old quarters, No. 16, Suffolk-street
and afterwards at the University Club ; but failing to meet
with you, 1 write you this note.
Always very truly yours,
G. BEN TIN CK.
H. Handley, Esq., M.P., University Club, Suffolk-street.
Harcourt House, Feb. 23, 1835.
MR. HANDLEY TO LORD GEORGE BENTINCE.

Dear Lord George—l found yours on my return to town at
a late hour last night. You only do me justice in the belief
that I will not lend myself to any extreme party purposes, but
I think it right to acquaint you that my feelings of distrust
towards the present Administration are such, that, if called
upon for a vote on an amendment to the address, expressive
of my want of confidence in them, I have made np my
mind to give it. With this determination I cannot but
feel that my attendance at Lord Stanley's today would he
useless, if not unfair; but I may be permitted to add, that in
the present crisis, Lord Stanley is a perscn in whom 1 place
the greatest reliance, and that any Administration formed un-
der his auspices, or in which he should hold an influential
station, based as I am sure it would be, on real Reform prin-
ciples, would have my confidence and support as an indepen-
dent Member of Parliament, as far as would be consistent with
my declared opinions to my recorded votes.
Should I not have made myself sufficiently understood, or
should you think my objections to attend the meeting insuffi-
cient, I shall probably have the opportunity of communicating
with you at the House. I am, &c., very truly yours,
Feb. 24, Itt3s. HENRY HANDLEY.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT
QUEBEC.
(From the Quebec Mercury.)
It is oar painful task to report a most awful disaster which
took place yesterday, between eleven o'clock and noon, and oc-
casioned the destruction of no less than eight houses in Cham-
plain-street, opposite to the Custom-house, with a frightful loss
of human life, the extent of' which has not yet been fully ascer-
tained. A large portion of the cliff, from near the foot of the
Citadel at Cape Diamond, to an extent of about 250 feet, gave
way, and falling into Champlain-street, entirely overwhelmed the
houses beneath and their numerous inmates, under the ponder-
-0113 masses of rock and rubbish that suddenly fell, so silently
and without previous indication of danger, that none of the
unfortunate sufferers had time to escape. The sentry on duty
at the gate of the Queen's stores perceived the side of the pre-
cipice in motion, and ere he could utter a ery
of alarm, which would indeed have been unavailing,
the whole had descended into the street, prostrating
the buildings beneath, carrying with it their frag-
ments, and covering the road completely to the walls of the
Custom-house. So great is the quantity of rocks,: and so
large the masses which have thus been displaced, that the pro-
gress of clearing them away can be but slowly effected. The
stones composing the wall of the fortification, on the crest of
the rock, to the extent we have above stated, appeared thinly
scattered on the surface of the debris, in comparatively small
fragments, and in one direction only did they reach the base of
the rock. The military of the garrison were promptly on the
spot, and the Mayor and some others of the city authorities re-
paired thither without loss of time, and operations were imme-
diately commenced to rescue from beneath the avalanche, if so
it may be called, the victims of this awful catastrophe, and by
four o'clock, five living beings, all seriously injured, one in a
hopeless state, were rescued, and thirteen dead bodies were ex-
tricated from the ruins. The work proceeded till night put a
stop to any effectual attempt at labour, and was renewed again
at day-break this morning.
Several similar accidents, though to a comparatively
smaller extent, have occasionally occurred, hut, whilst they
created alarm at the time, they have not had the effect of de-
terring persons from continuing to build in so perilous a situa-
tion, but one so convenient for the dealers in marine stores,
and groceries, and the keepers of those lodging and boarding
receptacles which receive sailors, raftsmen, and the poorer
classes of emigrants during the season cf navigation. The
cause of these disasters, the present included, appears to arise
from the numerous springs filtering through the crevices of
the rock ; these falling into clefts expanded by frost during
the winter, increase the fissures, and loosen large masses of
rock, which subsequent natural operations entirely detach, till
whole bodies are removed from their positions, occasioning
such devastation and ruin as was yesterday unhappily wit-
nessed. It was apparent to the most superficial observer, that
the slight work which crowned the precipice could have had
no share in precipitating the rock at its base from the position
it had so long occupied.' It will, however, require much la-
bour, and no inconsiderable expense, to rebuild the curtain,
scarp the face of the rock, and to replace the part of the forti-
fications destroyed, in a safe and sufficient condition.
. .

T ladies religious of the Hotel Dieu, with their characte-
ristic benevolence, have received seven of the injured persons
into that establishment, although there were no vacant beds
in the regular wards at the time of the calamity. It is almost
unnecessary to say that every care, skill, and attention is
shown to the unfortunates on the part of the medical attend-
ants as well as the nuns, and that the whole of these cases pro-
mise to do well. Their names are Peter Considine, aged
ibout 12 years, injury of head, face, and ancle ; Alichael Con-
sidine, aged three years, much bruised and burnt about the
head and neck ; Madame Golin, injury of left thigh and ancle ;
Mary Ryall, injury of head and foot, aged 30 years, cousin to
the Considines ; Angelique Guilmet, injury of the hip; Ann
Sullivan, aged 15 years, injury of the spine ; Mary Considine,
aged 18 months, injury of the head and arms, and fractured
thigh. Mrs. Considine chanced to be absent from home when
the disaster occurred, and she is the only member of this family
uninjured.
This morning the bodies of Mr. Galin, and:Jones, a tailor, in
Mr. Birch's house, occupied by Mrs. Conners and family, were
removed from the ruins by a party under the directrort of Mr.
Wells, whose zeal in the cause of humanity is so well-known to
the inhabitants of this city, and by whom about one-half the
bodies found yesterday were disinterred and removed. They
are now following up their labours in search of the bodies of
Lionnais and Charter, who were in Golin's house, and have
arrived at traces of blood. One most extraordinary case of es-
cape is that of Vital Roy and family. His house was hurled
into the street, and partly buried beneath the ruins, together
with their beds, Ikc..; himself, his wife, a servant-maid, and an
apprentice boy, escaped entirely unhurt, and his infant was ex-
tracted from the ruins of the fallen chimney a short time after
the affair, almost unscathed.
The coroner held an inquest on the bodies of the following
perions previous to one o'clock this day, and four or five more
bodies have been since disinterred :

Robert M'Kibbon, Mary Connors, Margaret Connors, Do-
minique Grealy, Patrick Doherty, Mary Gallagher, Jane
Crawford, John Consioine, John Fisher, Patrick Hayes, Mary
Williams, Emmanuel Williams, Rose Ann Williams, Ellen
Hall, wife of Robert Reed, Margaret Young, Henri Cote,
Joseph Golin, Julie Golin, and Marie Golin.
Denis Fitzpatrick, George Jones, Madeline Jones, his wife,
Madeline Jones, an infant, Leon Leora'se, Lucie. St. Laurent,
Francois Chartier.

Half-past three o'clock p.m.
They are now removing the bodies of Chartier and Lion-
nais, which makes six to-day. Two young women from Point
Levy, who had gone to the scene of distress to visit some
friends immediately before the accident, are still missing.
It has beer. confidently stated to us on the report of several
persons, some of which were received by our informant before
the accident occurred, that the shock of an earthquake was
distinctly felt in various quarters from Diamond Harbour to
the Upper Town of Quebec, at between one and two o'clock
during the preceding night.

DOVEL—ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENTS.--,.
Contrary to our expectations, it seems the " peace of the
town," which the Tories professed to be so desirous of
maintaining, is to be "disturbed" by a "contest" at the
ensuing election, the Tories having broken through their
professions and brought forward a second man in the
shape of Mr. John Ilaleombe, of Dover electioneering
notoriety. Well,:be it so : we must, it appears, do our
best in the approaching stirnggle to " defiond the right."
—Dover Chronicle.

THE CENSUS.—We are glad to learn that the.
census, so far as regards the Manchester union, has been
taken in a very satisfactory manner. We understand
that, with few exceptions, the enumerators completed
their work on Monday. We have heard of but one or
two instances of any thing like wilful neglect ; and from
all we can learn, we doubt not that the return of the
population of this thickly-peopled district will prove to
be more fully and carefully made than on any former oc-
casion. 'I be schedules, &c., are now in the hands of the
several registrars of births, and deaths, for the purposes of
examination and verification, and by the Ist July they
must be placed in the hands of the superintendent re-
gistrar for the union, who will have ten days during which
to examine them further, before they are officially re-
turned to the registrar-general for England and Wales.—

HER MAJESTY'S TH EA TR E.—Semiramide
etas enacted on Saturday night, with Grisi, Viardot, and Tam-
burini to support its leading parts. M. Giubilei, seemed out
of his element in the high priest, which is better suited to
Lablache. Grisi's Semiramide was in her best style; graceful
in the gentler scenes with Arsaces—..grand at the tomb of
Ninus. Her beautiful aria " Bel raggto" was rapturously en-
cored. Madame Viardot was rather unequal to Arsaces ; her
energy throughout seemed relaxed. The Assur of Tamburini
was spirited and vigorous. The ballet. brought out by Madame
Cerito a second time in the Syiphide was graceful and
