THE LATE COLLISION ON THE BRIGHTON RAIL-
WAIL—From further inquiries on Tuesday,it appears that
a " pick up train " arrived at the New cross station at
34 minutes past nine o'clock, and a Croydon train was
then due. The " pick up train" was not able to get away
in time, and a signal was given to stop the Croydonion
train; that having been done the Brighton

FIiGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--BOLTON, JULY
12.—A very dreadful accident occurred on the Manches-
ter and Bolton line, on Saturday evening. The en•
gineer of a luggage train, consisting of 36 waggons,
which left Bolton for Manchester at qs minutes past
eleven, saw something lying across the rails, when about
six miles from the Salford station, but not till the engine
was close upon it On reachinr, the Salford station it
was found that the wheels of threeb of the waggons were
nearly covered with blood. On returning to the spot
where the shock took place, with an engine, the head
and chest of a human body were found without the rails;
and about three yards further. and on the other side
the rails, the legs and the lower part of the body. It
proved to be that of a watchman, employed at the

CITY OF LONDON.
On Tuesday evening a very crowded meeting of elec•
gatetors invvtihtheinwa4adss of
lCdraiptplpegixatoen,Ws ißtheopuotsaitnodryCr
inippailses
Barbican.
On the motion of Mr. S. G. HALE, seconded by Mf.
J. STEVENSON,
Mr. PATTISON came forward, and made a declaration
of his political sentiments. As these are already well
known, it is unnecessary here to repeat them. His ob.,
servations were cordially received by the meeting.
Sir G. LARPENT followed. After stating his view'
upon the different questions at present engaging
attention, he said that be would conclude his observations
in the words of the Noble Lord at the head of her
Majesty's Government, whose sentiments, in his absonce,
he (Sir G. Larpent) thereby conveyed to them.—(Con-
fusion, and cries of " We don't want his sentiments.")
The Noble Lord had said that he would adopt no prin-
ciples that was injurious to the commerce or the industry
of the country, and that he would do all in his power tis
promote a union, not in name but in heart and spirit,
with Ireland, and that he would firmly support the
principles of civil and religious liberty.—(Cheers and
hisses.) These were the sentiments of Lord J. Russell,
with whom he (Sir G. Larpent) hoped to act if they
placed him in the honourable p 'salon of their repre•
is-etative in Parliament.—(Much confusion.) He cone
cluled his speech by stating that he had no objection to
support the vote by ballot if it was found impossible by
any other means to protect the voter in the independent
exei cise of his french ise.—(Cheers.)
Baron ROTHSCHILD. who was received with loud
cheering. at the end of which a voice was heard
saying, " Give him another just to freshen him up,"
then came forward, and thanked the meeting very
sincerely for the very kind reception they had given
him. It was not his intention on that occa-
sion to enter into details as to his political sentiments,
and he trusted that they would excuse him if he stated
only briefly to them the principles that would guide him,
should he be honoured by their choice as a representative
for their great city in Parliament.—(Cheers.) He then
referred to the great advantages which had arisen front
the operation of free trade principles, in the introduc-
tion of foreign corn during a period of unexampled
scarcity. The sound condition of the country was
proved by the manner in which they had paid for that
large importation of food from abroad, for had the
country not been in a healthy state the importation could
not have taken place.—(Cheers) The very favourable
statement of the revenue which had appeared in the
newspapers was also an indication of the sound state in
which the country was ; and when he mentioned this
circumstance be was sure they would concur with him itt
his approbation of free trade principles, which it was
almost unnecessary for him to say be bad always sup-
ported.—(Chews The only other point in regard to
which questionitattbein-put Ito him was the religious
question. Indeed, that appeared to him the great ques-
tion which now agitated the public mine, and with re-
spect to which general interest was felt.—(Cheers.) It
was one with regard to which he was unfortunately
situated, alth nigh his views upon it corresponded with
those of his brother candidates beside him.—(Cheers.)
Some knew that his opinion would even go further, and
that his candid opinion on the subject was against en-
dowments.—(Cheers.) He did not think that money
should be taken out of the pockets of one pro-
fessing set to the advantage of any other, and he should
therefore be prepared to vote against any grant of money
for the endowment of churches or for any religious pur-
pose.—(A voice. " That is a distinct, honest, and candid
opinion, Baron.") He did not think it was necessary for
him to say more; but he was ready to answer any ques-
tions that might be put to him. He would be happy to
d vote a great part of his time to the electors, for all his
interests lay in this great city, and he had none that
were not intimately connected with theirs.—(Cheers.)
He would with pleasure give his best energies to the
establishment of a Hall or Chamber of Commerce its
London, which was almost the only large city in which
there was none ; and he recommended the electors to
ask his opponents to contribute to that object.—(A voice,
"Ts it the Corporation?") He was not speaking of the
Corporation—(Laughter)—but he wished them to ask
their friend Alderman Johnson to make himself Presi-
dent for that purpose, and he had no doubt that he would
Manage it well.—(Laughter.) If they elected him their
representative, he pledged himself to support such an
object as much as lay in his power. As to the extension
of the suffrage, there was at present before Parliament
a Bill which would give to the electors great facilities,
for it was very obnoxious to them to be obliged to go to
the churchwardens and attend to their church-rates. It
was also very disagreeable for the occupier of a house
sot to have a vote.—(Cheers.) With regard to the
ballot, he was decidedly against it, because he was satis-
fied of its uselessness.—(Cries of " Oh, oh !") For
instance, in France, where it was adopted, he did not
think that a voter was, more independent than in this
country.—(Hear, bear.) If they could give him a reason
superior to that practical case for adopting the ballot, het
would be most happy to do so.—(A Voice-L." How do
you vote by ballot at the Reform Club ?") That was in
the case of personal friendship, whereas political votes
ought only to be given for the good of the country. If
they did him the honour to elect him as the* represents.
tive, he would attend to their interests, and from the
experience he had collected by a close attendance to
commercial affairs he hoped to be useful.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN having here invited any member of
the ward present to put questions,
A working man asked whether the Liberal candidates
would support the Corporation in giving employment to
labourers as a matter of privilege at avanced wages,
icilf,eadji.k)ming into the labour market ?
Mr. PATTISON said, that if the Corporation had such
a power, it was extremely improper, and he would vote
against the practice if he had a voice in the Corporation.
Baron Rothschild and Sir G. Larpent having cone
curred with Mr. Pattison,
Another Inhabitant of the Ward asked if the Baron
would support a Bill for the reform of the City Corpo-
ration ?

The BARON said he would support a Bill for that pur•
pose.

A Member of the Ward then put the question, who.
they the candidates present would support the Govern-
ment in opposing the clause for allowing old married
pauper couples to live together in the workhouse?
Sir G. LARPENT said, his opinion was, that the poor
should be treated without harshness. He had not., how-
ever, attended to the clause in question; and would not
pledge himself with respect to it.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.")
Mr. PATTISON said, that had he been in tNe House of
Commons on the night that Ministers were beaten on
Mr. P. Borthwick's clause, he would have voted v'ith the
majority.—(cheers.)
Mr. S. BEETON then moved and Mr. S. READ seeonded
the following resolution : _ . . .

" That this meeting is very strongly of opinion that
Lord John Russell, the consistent and long-tried friend
of liberal and enlightened Government, and the able ad-
vocate of the rights and liberties of the people, is well
entitled to the corriiid qtipport of the electors of these
ds; and this meeting having heard the opinions of
Mr. James Mattison, who has hitherto so faithfully served
the cons,ituency of this city, also of Sir G. Larpent, Bart.,
and Baron Lionei de ItothAe,;ld, reby declare their
approval of th sentin ents they have expressed, sad
their determination to use passible exertion to
secure the return of the four Liberal candidates as the
representatives of the City of London in the Commons
House of Parliament."

The reading of this resolution was attended with great
confusion from the objection raised by many of those
present to the introduction of Lord John Russell's name.
The cry was " Not Lord John ; we won't have him "---.
" The other three, but not Lord John." These cries
were continued during Mr. Beeton's address, the greater
part of which was occupied by a panegyric on the Noble
Lord. The resolutien having been seconded,
Mr. MORLEY, of Wood•street, rose, and proceeded
amidst considerable uproar to attack the Government
education measure, and Lord John Russell for his pars
therein. He concluded by rut m nending
thought with him to oppose the i eso ution.
The CHAIRMAN then called for a show of hands for and
against the resolution, and declared it carried.",asconsiderable.
