smErrumm, ROTHERAM, BARNSLEY,
V.TA.RErZELD, BUDDERSPIED, AND
GOOLE.
This Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour, in
No. 5, Abingdon-street ; the Earl of Radnor in the chair.
The general evidence oil the part of the promoters, to
show the advantages of the line, was resumed, and Sir
John Kay, of Grange ' Mr. Wentworth, of Woolley Hall ;
near Barnsley ; Captain Lewes, superintendent of the Manchester
and Leeds Railway, and other witnesses were examined. The effect
of their evidence was to corroborate that given yesterday, as to the
irap.rtance of laying down the proposed line, and the great accom-
modation it would afford to the traffic of the district.
The engineering evidence was then gone into, and
Mr. Itawkshaw, civil engineer for the promoters of the line, was
examined at great length. He deposed- to the facility with which
the line could be constructed. There were no peculiar engineering
difficulties ; there were three tunnels on the line,—one of these was
2,231 yards long, one 680 yards, and the other 685. The
other works were of the ordinary character. The estimated cost
would, in his opinion. Complete the works.
Mr. Yignoles, civil engineer, corroborated the cridence of the last
witness.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow.

THE SUGAR DUTIES.
Lord G. BENTINCK said—Sir, I beg to give notice that,
on the motion for your leaving the chair on Friday next on
the question of the sugar duties, it is my intention to move,
as an amendment, that, "In the present depressed state of
the sugar cultivation in our British East and West India
possessions, the proposed reduction of duty upon foreign
slave grown sugar is alike unjust and impolitic, as it tends
to check the advance of production by British free labour,
and gives an additional stimulus to the slave trade."
Mr. C. BERKELEY said that he understood that the
Noble Lord the Member for the City of London had expe-
rienced a domestic calamity, which caused some doubt as to
whether he would be able to attend the House on Friday.
He wished to ask his Right Hon. Friend (Sir G. Grey), if in
case of the Noble Lord's absence, it was the intention of the
Government to proceed with the sugar question on that day?
Sir G. GREY said he had received an intimation from his
Noble Friend, that from the cause referred to by the Hon.
Member, he should be unable to attend the House as to-
day. He was not aware whether the Noble Lord
could attend on Friday, but if he did he would proceed
with the question of the sugar duties. To-morrow he (Sir G.
Grey) would be better able to inform the House whether the
Noble Lord would attend in his place on Friday.
Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY then gave notice that at
an early period he would renew his motion, " That an humble
address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to
withdraw her consent to the placing of the statue of the
Duke of Wellington upon the archway at the top of Con-
stitution-hill."

CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
Sir GEORGE GREY said, that as his Hon. Friend the
member for Montrose, had got to the first order of the day,
the Charitable Trusts Bill, he wished to say a few words
upon the subject. Last week the House had affirmed the prin-
ciple of the Bill, being the accountability of parties malutiging
these trusts to Parliament. He had received several coin-
munications since the second reading of the Bill from parties
interested in the subject, and those parties made no objection
to the principle of their accountability being acted upon;
but they made various suggestions of such weight and im-
portance that they would require ample time for considera-
tion. The Lord Chancellor would have under his con-
sideration a more general measure than the one
submitted to the House by his honourable Friend
the Member for Montrose. He hoped that as the House
had recognised the principle of the Bill introduced by his
Honourable Friend, he would be induced, at that late
period of the session, and the great importance of the mea-
sure, to postpone it for the present session, in order that the
whole subject might be fully considered and brought forward
early in the session ensuing.
Mr. HUME said that the object which the Government
bad in view would meet his views upon the subject. Since
last week he had received an abundance of communications
on the subject, all pointing to the absolute necessity of such
a Bill, but requiring much more to be done than was in-
tended by him, his object merely being to give to Parliament
the management of charities, and nothing more, leaving to
each individual connected with such charities to take what
measures he might wish, in due time. That appeared
to him to be the means of obtaining what the public ought
to have had many years since. It was not only to obtain
accounts from these charities he wished, but it was abso-
lutely necessary that there should be some means to regulate
thetainstitutions, because, a large proportion of them were
of so small an account that they would not bear the expense
of any litigation. Under the present circumstances
he bad no alternative. The Government pledged itself to
bring in a measure of a more comprehensive nature next
session, and feeling the opposition he had experienced (not
that he was at all afraid of that opposition, for he knew that
no Bill had ever been introduced into that House with
respect to charities which bad not been strongly opposed) he
thought that a reformed House of Commons should be
resolved and determined on this subject, and should
have some account from these charities. The time would
come when the discussion on this question would occupy the
attention of the House more than it had done, and he would
therefore, without hesitation, leave the Bill fur next %V ednes-
day, and by that time he hoped to see in the Government a
disposition which would induce him to give it up altogether.
He begged to move that the order of the day be read.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN said that the other day he
had had the honour of moving that the Bill be read a second
time that day six months, but he wished to inform the Hon.
Member for Montrose, that in doing so he did not wish to
dispute the principle of the Bill. He objected to the mea-
sure on the ground that its provisions might cause some
trouble. _ _ _ _

After a few words from Mr. B. Eseott, Mr. Brotherton,
(inaudible), and Mr: Newdegate,
The Bill was postponed until Wednesday next.

ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN
COUNTIES RAILWAY.
At the conclusion of the examination of the engine-driver
and stoker before the county magistrates at Ilford gaol en
Monday, Captain Coddington, one of the Government in-
spectors of railways, proceeded to Stratford, for the purpose
of examining into the efficiency of the signals and other
matters relating to the accident, preparatory to making his
report to the Board of Trade. He was attended by Mr.
Roney, the secretary, Mr. Scott, the locomotive superinten-
dent of the line, and Mr. Samuels, the resident engineer;
His first object was to inspect the locality of the signals and
the distance they could be seen ; and after a careful measure-
ment it was found that they could be discerned 220 yards
down the line—that extreme distance being 479 yards from
the station. That the signal was erected on the wrong side
of the line was the general opinion. Had it been on the side
of the down line, it could have been seen almost double the
distance. Captain Coddington was informed that the com-
pany hadcommenced to remove the signals on the Colchester
line, which were all of the same description, and to erect in,
their pli:ce some of a similar construction to those on the
Cambridge branch. They have only been recently corn"
pleted, and it was admitted that day and night they have
proved most efficient.
A doubt being entertained as to the possibility of Claft.
the engine-driver, being able to bring the train to a stoppage;
from where the signal can first be seen at the Stratford
station, at the speed it was said to be travelling, Captain
Coddington, we believe, suggested the propriety of making
experimental trips, with a view of ascertaining the fact. It
was accordingly arranged to make such trials yesterday, with
the same engine and trucks which caused the accident.
Captain Coddington accordingly visited Stratford yester-
day, and went on the Firefly engine (the front of which wee'
much knocked about), accompanied by Mr. Scott, the loco-
motive superintendent, and Mr. Samuels, the engineer
'
They then proceeded with the experiments proposed, t""
result of which clearly substantiated the statement made by
the company's officers, that the train could have been
brought to a standstill before it reached the station, had
attention been directed to the signal and the proper
appliances used. In the course of the experiments the
train was put on at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
On sighting the signal the steam was shut off, and, 131
applying the breaks and reversing the engine, the trail
was brought to a stoppage some yards from the Stratfora,
station. It will be recollected, that at the magistratet
inquiry, it was stated that the speed of the train, when fire''`
seen coming up, was about seven or eight miles an hour.
The mischief to thecarriages, however, tends to show that the
speed must have been greater. After the trials Captain Cod'
dington left for town. It is considered probable that his re-
port to the Board of Trade will not be issued until the result'
of the trial of the engine-driver and stoker.
The accounts received last evening at the Shoreditch ea" tion of the coudition of the sufferers lyin at the London.
Hospital were of a favourable character, asg regarded faun of
them; but in the cases of William Prentice
the companYe porter, and Mr. Morris, of Adam-street, R'oraford, and not
of the Hoop Inn, Deptford, as previously reported, their
condition was far from satisfactory. The unfortunate fellow,
Prentice, who is in his eighteenth year, was, it appears, 4n
the last compartment of the second-class carriage,
'wit°,
Shaffington, another porter, and Henry Olive, a goods' train
guard. Shaffington states he was lying his full length on
one of the seats, and Prentice and Olive were sitting on the
opposite seat. All he could recollect of the collision was sud-
denly falling through the bottom of the carriage on to the
rdad between the rails, and finding the engine of the truck
train over him. He has sustained little injury, and 15
expected to leave the hospital in a few days. In the other
compartments of this carriage were, Mr. Morris, William
Millwood, of 2, Luke-street, Turk-street, Bethnal-green;
Mr. Murphy, solicitor, of Hendon; John Smith, of „
Cooper's-gardens, Hackney-road. the constable ; John
Keeler, of West-hill, Essex; James Stone, and Mr. Atkins*
of Hale, near Hendon. The three laidies who were in the
carriages more in advance of the train, Mrs. Paine, of Ilford,
who had the small bones of her left leg fractured; Mrs. Wed'
dersley, of Chigwell, thigh fractured, and Mrs. Bromley, e`
Colchester, are, we are happy to say, in a fairway of recovery.
The husband of the last-mentioned lady had his shin frac'
tured. He is also going on favourably. Those in the hoe-
pital have been visited daily by Mr. Roney, the secretal.
who has directed that everything should be done which cin.l,
in any way be conducive to their comfort. The anxiety
evinced by that gentleman is spoken of in the most kin'
terms by the sufferers.

An accident of a precisely similar character as the unfortte
nate affair on Saturday, occurred at the same spot six yeah
ago, and, though many persons were hurt, it was not. of 0
fearful a description as the recent one.

PROVIDENT BOOKSELLERS'
RETREAT.
On Tuesday the inauguration of the Provident Bookseller)
Retreat, at King's Langley, the foundation stone of wbic._
was laid in September last, took place under most favourable
auspices. A special train was engaged to the place, and
about two hundred of the friends of letters went down by it r
assist at the ceremony. The Provident Booksellers' Retreat
is an offspring of the Booksellers' Provident Fund Society
and the manner in which its objects have been carried out
must be most gratifying to those who have taken an interest
in the cause. Some difficulty at first existed as to finding!:
eligible site for the building; but this was soon removed 1.
the munificence of J.-Dickenson, Esq., the well-known paper
maker, who gave a piece of ground, of. three- and-a-half acre',
for the purpose. The building already erected consists ?-
seven comfortable dwellings of four rooms each, well-vents'
lated, water laid on, and all that could conduce to tbecoLft:
nr
fort of the occupants being well provided for by Mr.
•• •
Cooper, the architect.
The ceremony of the inauguration took place under the
auspices of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, Bart., who presided at the
breakfast given on the occasion.
The CHAIRMAN, in eloquent terms, explained the merit's
and objects of the institution, and the subscriptions of the
showed that the cause was well taken up by those who ho`‘
adopted it. Upwards of 8001. was subscribed at the break-

" cutters," when a part of the machinery with which he Yrs' °ltii's
rounded caught hold of his smock frock and whirled him into ..ht
most dangerous part of the works. The poor fellow's cries brought
several of the workmen to his assistance, and the engine was prollEt.;
stopped, but not before his right arm was shattered in a sh°cn
manner. He was removed to the London Hospital, where funtll;l
ton of the limb was found necessary. The operation was perform
with much skill by Mr. Curling, surgeon to the hospital.
THE GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY v.
visa Ray. JAMES Foltbielf,—The dispute between the Re st
Formby and the Gravesend and Rochester Railway Company has 00
length been brought to a conclusion. It will be remembered ins'.l.o
the 6th of Novembbr, when some labourers of the Company t
brought before the mayor and magistrateS at the Guildhall, R°-
chester, fur cutting down trees, it was then agreed that all matt;
in dispute should be submitted to arbitration. The decision of
arbitrators has been given in favour of the Rev. Gentleman, and
the
consequence is that the company will have to rebuild the wall bound-
ing,,
his property, and to pay all the expenses incurred, which, it "
said, will not be less than 1,000/.
