years ago, at precisely the same month and day, France rose
with an admirable impulse to defend her invaded rights
and honour.—(Loud applause). In those days the rights
and honour of France were saved. But soon a great
national danger appeared. On all sides arose passions, pre-
tensions, ideas, attempts; some patriotic, some selfish, some
generous, others perverse and wicked. The country began
to fear for her safety and honour—the present and the
future seemed compromised. Once more there was an ap-
prehension of seeing her plunged into a revolutionary chaos.
Happily at the same moment, by the side of this chaos
threatening to return, the policy of order, of Conservatism,
of legal liberty appeared. The Conservative party began.
During sixteen years, through many obstacles, oscillations,
experiments, it developed itself, took form and consistency,
struggled and conquered.—(Bravos.) How—with what—
and by what means? By our institutions, by publicity, by
discussion, by the elections, by the liberty of the tribune,
of the press, of votes; by a continual appeal to the intelli-
gence, to the reason, to the real wishes, to the well-
understood interest of the country. Always in the bosom
of the country, in its serious thought, in its reflection, will
that Conservatism come to renew its strength and vigour. I
The Crown, the Chambers, the electoral colleges the
National Guards, the tribunals, the citizens, all the
great public powers, all the constitutional forces of our
regime have maintained their place in this struggle—
have shared in this victory. I do not hesitate to
say that, without our free institutions, under any
other form of government, undet forms of govern-
ment more tranquil, more easy, more sure in appearance, but
in reality less powerful and less efficacious, we would not
have obtained this great and difficult result.—(Bravos.) if
power had stood alone, left to itself—if it had not been con-
stantly sustained, warmed, revived by the energetic concur-
rence of the public liberties, surely the revolutionary move-
ment excited in 1830 would have prevailed—the torrent
would have burst its dykes, the country would have been
led astray. Yes, we can confide in our institutions, for we
owe them gratitude—they have been the strength of Conser-
vative policy, they have given it the victory.—(Bravos.)
Thus we ought to be, and we are a government of liberty—a
liberal government. I insist upon these two words. France
feels the necessity.of being governed—she does not demand
new revolutions nor considerable changes. No; she desires
a government worthy of the name—a regular, firm so-
,z9pinie,A4 feeling its rights, its Onion, Ling
itself," raakiiig itself respected, detertiliiied -ttv'sitiloitt-
plish truly all its duties. France wants also a liberal
government—that is, one which accepts frankly and fully
the institutions and the liberties that are the guarantee of our
actual society and of its conquests. And such a government
is ours. To accept fully the national liberties is not to be
always talking of them, it is to practise them. Let us look
at our liberties generally, as they are practised in the centre
of the state. You read the debates of the Chambers; vou
receive every morning the journals arriving from Paris. Will
any one say that public liberties are not there practised with
vivacity by the opposition and respected by power? The same
may be said of your municipal affairs. Are not your liberties
in this respect real? Has not opposition here full scope? We
are far from complaining of the opposition ; we combat their
ideas ; webelieve that their triumph would be fatal to the very
liberties of which they avail themselves. But an opposition
is, nevertheless, a constitutional utility. It is indispensable
for the sake of warning and control, for the checking of power,
and even to take its place, should it, in the opinion
of the country, depart from the right course. The French
Revolution in its early days fought violently for the conquest
of equality, for equality at first badly comprehended, but now
reduced to all that is just and social. Afterwards the empire
fought for the conquest of national independence and national
glory. Under the Restoration we struggled for the conquest
of consitutional liberties, with their maxims and guarantees.
And now, since 1830, all these blessings—equality, constitu-
tional liberty, national independence—are our own ;we enjoy
them, we practise them. We are no longer engaged in the
pursuit of a doubtful conquest. France is decidedly a free
country, and her government is a liberal government, and
that implies that we are a country of progress. Some talk of
immobility and of a stationary spirit. They who do so talk with -
ont reflection. When liberty exists in a country by the side of
order, progress is inevitable, and it is accomplished naturally,
spontaneously, by the free development of individual liber-
ties, under the protection of public order. It is not, I admit,
that fantastic sort of progress dreamed of here and there by
some honest minds. No; it is such progress as the country
desires ; it is such progress as responds to its real wants—to
its natural tendencies. Is it a question of national interests?
At what period has progress been so rapid, not only through
the efforts of citizens, and by individual industry, but with
the permanent and energetic aid of the Government, and of
all the great powers of the state? How, then, shall we
speak of political progress? I will resume it all in one word
—the most essential, the most pressing for us; it is the
creation of a great constitutional government party. It
is the presence of two great parties, one a government
party, the other the party of the opposition—an opposition
party having their principles, their drapeaux, their
leaders discussing every day one against the other
the interests and the affairs of the country; opposing
idea to idea, judgment to judgment. This is what all
friends of our institutions demand with all their hearts. It is,
in fact, the regular state of representative government ; it is
the actual want and future security of country. This pro-
gress is beginning to take effect amongst us. Important is it
tor the present—for the future more important still. We
shall one day require all the strength, all the consistency,
and all the authority of the Conservative party. We shall then
congratulate ourselves that it has been formed, exercised,
and trained beforehand, in times more composed than those
when its wisdom and its energy will perhaps be put to the
proof.—(Applause.) This is doubtless not the only political
progress we have to make. We shall commence, and shall
accomplish many others. We begin with the most essential
and the most urgent. But far from rejecting any, the policy
of Conservatism desires and accepts all. It will examine
them—it will discuss them, with a sincere desire to adopt
them. It wishes only, and it is its duty so to do, that a true
and real progress should be attained, a progress in harmony
with the essential principles and the general wants of society.
Do not think, gentlemen, that material, and even political
progress, will be the only one with which Conservative
policy will occupy itself: It has the highest regard
for the moral interests and the moral prosperity of society.
It wishes to promote the moral progress of the value of man
at least as much as that of their welfare and of their liberty.
How could it be otherwise? How could it be possible that
the policy of Conservatism could have any other object?
What are the principles, the sentiments on which it is
founded, and to which it labours to do honour? Respect far
order, respect for the laws, for rights, for duties, and for reli-
gious belief. What greater moral influence can exist than
such principles and such sentiments? And how is it pos-
sible that a policy which has impressed them on its standard,
and has taken them as its rule of action, could be un-
mindful of the moral improvement of society? Such,
gentlemen, under whatever view you may consider them,
whether with regard to order or liberty, material or mo-
ral interests, in all which tends to the life and preserva-
tion of society—such are the effects of the policy of conser-
vatism, judged, not from its promises, but from its works.
Do not, moreover, think that with regard to our foreign
relations it will be less efficacious or less salutary. I
once said, and I have been reproached with having done
so, that I concerned myself more with the internal than
with the foreign interests of the country. Gentlemen, it is
now for six years that I have had the honour of directing
the foreign affairs of the country, and I now repeat, with
stronger conviction than I did six years ago, that I occupy
myself more with interests at home than abroad. Is not this
rendering a striking homage to the country? What can be
more honourable to a man than to say that his good internal
organisation, his internal prosperity, his well 'directed
liberty, ;his regular government—yes, gentlemen, when
a country is thus at peace within itself—when it freely and
regularly displays its force and its activity at home—be cer-
tain that it infallibly increases in grandeur abroad, in the
esteem of its neighbours, and in the balance of the world.—
(Loud cheers.) Do you know what was the feeling through-
out Europe for many years after the revolution of July?
They doubted the success of our efforts to establish a free
and regular government. They believed that we should
again be launched into revolutionary oscillations; and along
with this, they feared the return of warlike ambition—of
the spirit of adventure and conquest. The people and Go-
vernments of Europe were distrustful, and put themselves
on their guard against us. To these two prognostics we
have given a flat denial. At the same time that we founded
a free government, we restored order and maintained peace.
Be assured in this we have done what is most important
for the greatness, the influence, and the consideration of
France throughout the world. The spectacle we now present
to the world—the spectacle of a free people under a regular
Government—of a constitutional Government founding and
fertilising the prosperity and the security of a great people,—
this spectacle is for our influence, our consideration, and
our force in the world, the surest basis, and the most fertile
source. Gentlemen, are you aware of what passed a
few days ago at the environs of Paris ? The King
visited the fortifications which have just been completed.
He was surrounded during the visit by the whole popula-
tion of the neighbourhood, though not expecting him.
Workmen, country people, all showed their kindly
sympathies, and accompanied him with their acclamations.
The King of peace, the King who has maintained peace in
France and Europe, coming to visit the fortifications of
Paris ; this same King, who desired and founded peace,
coming to see the accomplishment of this other great work,
which he likewise desired, and which will be the infallible
security of France in Europe.—(Bravos.) It was this which
spoke to the hearts of these poor workmen, of this simple
population, who congratulated and applauded the King for
what he had done for the safety of France and for the inte-
rest of peace. The King, on those ramparts, surrounded by
his people, appeared to say to Europe, as Leonidas said to
Xerxes, "Come and take them ;" but this just pride would,
from his mouth, convey nothing hostile or threatening, for
even that is a work of peace which Conservative policy has
accomplished under the sceptre of the King, and in accord-
ance with his wishes. Gentlemen, in presence of such re-
sults, founded on such principles and obtained by such
means, the Conservative policy may present itself with head
erect before its friends as well as before its enemies. I
will not, however, say enemies, for we have no enemies in
France.—(Loud applause.) Of the adversaries of this
policy it is not for me to speak. As to its friends, I have
at this time but one advice to give therm, a solitary wish
to submit to their consideration. They have all, I
repeat, taken their place in the struggle which we have
sustained. They have all had their part in the suc-
cess. In a free country no one is indifferent, no one is use-
less; every citizen carries his stone to the edifice which
is being constructed, and all who have assisted in the
work will still continue to watch and labour for

WAR ITS KAFFIRLAND.
(From the Ilerald.)
We have received intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope
to the 19th of May, inclusive. The latest accounts from the
frontier are much of the same character as those which we
have published for some time past. The Kaffirs still pur-
sued their daily depredations, with no little success. Further
skirmishes had taken place, the result of which was the loss
of several lives, attended with vast destruction of' property.
Volunteers were enrolling themselves, and a detachment of
the 45th Regiment, and a company of 50 mounted burghers,
had been dispatched toFort Beaufort; but, let the colonists
do what they will, they must still be unable to overcome and
keep in check these remorseless hordes of Kaffirs. One or
the Cape Town journalists says, and we believe truly—
" Certainly not less than seven thousand men are required in
action to clear the colony, and to put down the Kaffirs, and
to keep them down till they are wholly submissive and dis-
armed. The work will not be complete till the last horse
and the last gun have been wrested from them."
(From the Cape Frontier Times of May 19.)
No movement of importance has been made by the Kaffirs
or by the troops or burghers during the past week. The
camp at Block Drift has been attacked by the enemy with
success, that is they have captured all the cattle. Post
Victoria has been abandoned and burnt, it is said, by the
troops in garrison there, who have fallen back upon Botha's
post. Colonel Richardson, with a squadron of dragoons and
two guns, left Graham's Town on Thursday, to proceed to
Oliphant's Hoek, whither Colonel Somerset, with the force
under his command, has also gone. Captain Alcock, with a
burgher force, it is believed, is now also in that neighbour-
hood. Sir A. Stockenstrom arrived at the Mancazana post
a few days ago, having scoured the Kroome bush at the head
of 200 burghers, without falling in with any Kaffirs.
Burghers from the district of George are continually passing
through Uitenhage on their way to the front, and the farriers
of that village are said to be shoeing horses night and day.
Several engagements have taken place between parties of
colonists and Kaffirs, not, we are sorry to add, without loss
of life to the former. In one of these engagements which
took place on Friday afteppnoll. :411. neighbourhood of
Farmer/laid,- Mr. 11- "To-P4ifk-Gifilliftifirttre—
civil commissioner of Cradock, was unfortunately killed. The
particulars, as reported by Mr. M'Cabe, who arrived in town
from Farmerfield on Saturday, are as follow :—About two
o'clock the Fingoes that were herding the cattle of the sta-
tion, were attacked by Kaffirs, who took 500 head of cattle
from them and wounded three—one dangerously. The Fin-
goes were deceived by the appearance of the Kaffirs, many of
whom were dressed in red jackets, and it was not until the
Kaffirs had nearly come up to them that they became aware
of their danger. As soon as information of this attack
reached Farmerfield, Mr. M'Cabe, accompanied by fifteen of
the Cradock burghers and about thirty people belonging to
the station, immediately galloped to the spot where the
cattle had been captured, about a mile and a half from Far-
merfield. Here they dismounted, and descending into the
bush, succeeded in recapturing all the cattle. The Kaffirs
fired at their pursuers, and one of their balls struck Mr. Mur-
ray on the left temple. He and Mr. M'Cabe were amongst
the foremost. The Kaffir who shot Mr. Murray was only
three yards off when he fired. The body was brought home
by his companions, and a Fingoe who first attempted to
carry it away was fired at. Only 14 Kaffirs were seen by
the herds before the party from Farmerfield came to their as-
sistance.
The enemy have been committing great devastation in
Oliphant's Hoek, into which fertile district one main body of
their force seems now to have penetrated, but in conse-
quence of all communication having been cut off from the
different legers and villages of that district we are only now
receiving news of what occurred two or three weeks
ago. From Buchner's leger near the church Oli-
phant's Hoek, we learn, that on the 2dinstant
a large body of Kaffirs attacked and carried off some
of the cattle from the camp. A Sinai! mounted party
immediately followed and overtook them on the next farm,
Kuis Fontein, where, after a sharp conflict, in which one of
Buchner's party was shot through the arm, they succeeded
in recapturing the cattle. The houses at Kruis Fontein had
all been burnt the night preceding. A second attack on
the cattle was made by a party of about 100 Kaffirs at three
o'clock the same day, whilst the cattle were grazing close
to the camp, but they were again defeated. A party
from the leger, chiefly coloured people, went out
to meet them, and after some sharp work on
both sides, the enemy retreated, leaving nine of their
number, it is said, dead on the field. Four horses and four
guns, with several assegais, were also captured. As the
Kaffirs fled they threatened they would " pay them off
at night," and they kept their word ; for on the following
night they made a most determined attack on the
leger, firing a volley into the house. The men were fortu-
nately all at their posts ready to receive them, being con-
cealed behind an embankment outside the house, and re-
turned the fire immediately. After keeping up a heavy
fire for a considerable time the Kaffirs were eventually
repulsed without any casualties on the side of the besieged,
and without the loss of any of their cattle.
Mr. J. Scheeper's encampment (Oliphant's Hoek) has also
been attacked, and 800 head of cattle and about 50 horses
captured. A good many Kaffirs are said to have been killed
in this attack.
We have also intelligence through Mr. Wilmot, of New
Year's River, that a body of farmers from his encampment
had a skirmish with the enemy near Mr. Bezuidenhout's
place on Thursday morning. There was a good deal of firing,
and it is said a good deal of prowess exhibited on both sides,
but the result was that the Kaffirs succeeded in driving off
the whole of their booty. We regret to add that one of the
C. M. R. was shot, it is supposed, not mortally, but he im-
mediately fell into the hands of the Kaffirs, by whom he was
stabbed to death. One of Mr. Wilmot's sons had his horse
shot, and several other horses were either killed or disabled.
Mr. T. Watson was also slightly wounded.
From Sidbury Camp, 14th May, we learn that "the Kaffirs
are becoming daily stronger and more daring in this neigh
bourhood."

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS,
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I disc. nrs e,
Those taught by nature, and by : trt -acquirkl.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappoi utn tents keen,
Which young and gentle, the matur ed and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all su:sta in.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv 'n,
How health, how hope, how hap& iess to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and I.VOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Conripls Lints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfeet digestion , tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contain. t( the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered c;ons ititution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" flow we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore Yeek2S and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although he aring upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, vein be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of r na.tters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, Nil which information in
these enlightened times, except that quail ty promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible I tie count.
In the exposition hereby offered of the thu now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it ix Ansisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owei organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expect a of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the term son which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is h erein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own. keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the avadlrnent hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

Another letter from Sidmouth Park, dated 14th May, 1846,
states that " the Kaffirs were successful last night about ten
o'clock, in an attack upon the Fingoes of Mr. Daniel, and
carried off 350 head of cattle and 200 bucks, the whole of
their property. The Kaffirs were in great numbers. There
was firing on both sides, and every possible resistance made,
but to no purpose. About 100 Fingoe women and children
are left destitute, as they were entirely dependent upon the
milk of their cows for subsistence.
There is no doubt of the Bushman's River bush being
swarming with Kaffirs, and nothing but a large force will
expel them."
A good deal of firing was heard on the afternoon of the
16th towards Swatze's camp. Colonel Somerset had passed.
Jager's drift, and was at the mouth of the Bushman's River
on the 16th, and intended, it is understood, pitching his
camp at a farm about a couple of miles from Quagga-nuts,
called Depoort.
Extract of a letter from the neighbourhood of Fort Beau-
fort, dated May 14, 1846.
" Confidence is greatly restored in this part, from the ap-
pointment of Sir Andries Stockenstrom as the head of the
Burgher forces. His measures are most energetic. He re-
ceived his appointment on Sunday week and immediately
re-took Mr. Ainslie's house on the Kowie, from the Kaffirs,
and placed a strong party there. On the following Wednes •
day he appoinied Mr. Mitford Bowker second in command,
and on Thursday rode to the Tarka, accompanied by only
two Hottentots. The Boers in that quarter immediately
rallied around him. He dispatched Commandant Van Wyk
with a very feeling address to the Boers beyond the colony,
and after making various arrangements for the defence of
that part of the country, returned with a considerable
Burgher force and took the bush on the following Monday.
He has already traversed a considerable part of the Kowie
and Kromme forests, sleeping by day and working at night."
In the course of a few days, additions to the force al-
ready here (Cape Town), are expected from Monte Video
and Ceylon.
COLESBERO, APRIL 29.—An express reached this on Sun-
day night from his Excellency the Governor, ordering the
detachment of the 45th Regiment to proceed forthwith to
Fort Beaufort, and to take every military precaution when
approaching to the frontiers. A letter was also received by
the civil commissioner, desiring that fifty mounted burghers
should accompany this force.
PORT ELIZABETH.—.By private letters we learn that great
excitement prevailed in Cape Town, on the arrival of the
post (Sunday). A crowd remained round the Post-office the
whole day; and. in order to allay the anxiety of the people,
an Extra was published at seven o'clock that evening. On
Monday morning about a thousand persons surroundd the
Government offices to learn what was to be done. A crowd
of Malays collected in Church-square, and about 600 enrolled
themselves for the frontier. A volunteer corps has likewise
been raised, and the muster is already very considerable.
About five vessels have been chartered by Government for
the conveyance of these troops; amongst the number is the
Phcenix steamer.--Eastern .Province Herald.

BANQUET TO M. GUIZOT.
Lisritux, MONDAY—The banquet took place upon the
terrace of the public garden of this town. Nearly 600 guests
were assembled, and many refused on account of the want of
space. Upwards of 4,000 or 5,000 persons promenaded in
the public garden, endeavouring to catch, as well as they
could, the voices of the speakers.
Beneath the tent where the banquet took place the spec-
tacle was really grand.
At the dessert, M. Bourdon, President of the Council of
the Arrondissement, proposed the following toast to the
King:—
" To the King—May Providence long preserve for the
happiness of France and the repose of all Europe, a life so
often menaced and each time so miraculously preserved. You
know, as well as I do, gentlemen, that it is to the wisdom and
profound gratitude— Vire
calm firmness of that Monarch, chosen by the free will of the

so let

M. de Tormeville, Maire of Lisieux, then proposed the fol-
lowing toast to M. Guizot :—" I propose a tast to M. Guizot,

perform. I speak now, gentlemen, as one of you, as a
faithful servant of that policy which you all wish to support.
We owe an homage of respect and of gratitude to those three
great public powers, the Crown and the two Chambers,
which, since 1830, have all been so faithful to their
mission, to the King above all, who, in the exercise
and in the limits of his constitutional rights, without
ever hesitating to use them, without ever attempting to
depart from them, has sustained with such constant and
firm devotedness that salutary policy—to the Chamber of
Peers, to that chamber which never changes, which never
ends, and which, from the permanent character of its posi-
tion, has so well comprehended how the policy of Cnserva-
tism can and does accord with the changing wants and wishes
of the country—to the Chamber. of Deputies, which has just
finished its career, and which having endured since 1830,
longer than any other assembly, having accomplished so
many important and useful things, has, during its last ses-
sion, at the moment of appearing before the country, pro-
claimed and supported, more loudly and more firmly than
ever, the Conservative policy; all its conviction was strong
and sincere. To those three great powers, gentlemen, let
us address all our homage and all our Gratitude. And

THE LATE F 4.41 A
_DENT
ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR. HIND.
The Coroner's inquest on the body of Mr. Hind was re-
sumed this morning, before the Deputy-Coroner for East
Middlesex, _and the same jury, et the Duke of Richmond
Tavern, Queen'n-road, Dalston.
Mr. G. Burford, a draper, of Stratford, was the first witness
called, and corroborated the statement he made before the
magistrates at Ilford. He was on the Angel-lane Bridge,
near the Stratford station, and saw the signal lowered on the
passenger-train passing it.
Edward Unwin, the youth employed at the station, and
who lowered the signal, also confirmed the testimony he gave
at the previous investigation.
George Blatchford, the chief guard of the passenger train,
was next called. His evidence was also the same as that
given before the magistrates.
Mr. George William Brown said, he was formerly con-
nected with Mr. Jackson, a contractor to the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company. Clare was an engine-driver in his
employ, and, speaking from recollection, was in the habit of
driving their goods train engine for five or six months from
Shoreditch to Stortford ; in fact, up to the time of Mr. Jack-
son disposing of his contract with the company. He con-
sidered Clare to be a competent driver, and capable of repair..
ing his engine. At that period the signals employed at
Shoreditch, Mile-end, and the Cambridge Junction, were the
same as the present one at Stratford, and Clare appeared to
understand them perfectly well. He never knew him to
pass one.
Joshua Wm. Coddington, the Deputy Government Inspector
of railways, was then examined—l am a captain of the
Royal Engineers, and in compliance with directions from
the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, inspected
the scene of the recent accident on the Eastern Counties
Railway, on the 20th and 21st instant. My first particular
object was directed to the signal at Stratford, so as to as.
certain its efficiency for the protection of the public, and
to try by experiments whether it was possible for an engine-
driver on perceiving it, to stop a rain betwen tat point
and the station. For this purpose I obtained e h
the identical
engine and trucks, with the same load that comprised the
train driven into the passenger one. There were five empty
trucks, and two loaded with iron. I then made three ex-
periments with the train, and first proceeded as far as 11-
fOrd, when it was shifted on to the up rails, and I directed
the engine-driver to go on to Stratford. After going
about a mile and a half, and obtaining a speed of about
twenty-five miles an hour, I directed the driver, without
previous warning, to stop the train, and noticed the
point on which I gave the order. After the engine and
train had stopped I measured the distance to the point I
gave the order, and found it to be 445 yards. It was done
by the action f the break, and without the reversing of the
engine. I then got on it and again proceeded towards Strat-
ford, and on arriving opposite to a man who had been placed
there with a red flag in his hand, I desired the engine-
driver again to stop. We were then going about thirty
miles en hour, and the engine was stopped in 468 yards by
break alone. I then turned the train to Ilford, and start.," for Stratford again. I allowed the train to proceed at art -Tapid.cate,...exceediog,thirty miles au hour. ::331* mile was performed nr./ifty-eight seconds, and continued at
that speed until I observed the Stratford signal. I then' told
the driver to shut off the steam, and the break was imme-
diately applied. Fifty yards further the engine was reversed,
and the train, with the engine, came to a stand-still under
the bridge nearest the station.
Juror—Did you measure the distance from the station?
Captain Codrington—l did not, but it was about 10 or 12
yards. I should observe that the rails were very wet, a heavy
shower of rain had just fallen, and we were going at a very
rapid rate.
CORONER—And what did the result of those experiments
show ?
Captain Coddington—The result of the experiments showed
that it was quite possible for the engine and train to have been
stopped, on the signal being seen, before it could reach the
station.
CORONER—Have you any observation to offer to the jury
respecting the construction of the signal?
Captain Coddington—l have examined the records for
the last five years at the Board of Trade, and cannot find
any accident having occurred from a defect of the signal,
or not being understood. The Colchester line is the only
one, I believe, that has adopted such a description of
signal.
ConosEe.—lt has been stated that the carve at this parti-
cular part of the line prevents the signal and station being
seen so distant as might be desired.
Captain Coddington—lt certainly is an unfavourable
place; but, notwithstanding the disadvantages of the curve
of the portion of the line alluded to, I am of opinion that the
signal properly worked and attended to is sufficient for the
public security. The line is a moderate inclination from
Brentwood ; but on approaching within 181/2 chains of
Stratford it rises at the ratio of 1 foot in 330. That rise
would tend to facilitate the stopping of a train.
By Mr. Duncan—lf the rails were dry, it is probable that
the train could have been sooner stopped. I could not pos-
sibly say in what distance a train travelling at fifteen miles
an hour could ; the slower they are going the sooner they
are to be stopped. The break was a powerful one, and in
good order; and I think that an ordinary party could hare
stopped the train on seeing the signal as well as I could. I
inspected the signal. It was pulled up and down before. me,
and appeared to work well.
Cross examined by Mr. Rawtrarcs--A.n engine-driver, on
perceiving the signal, would have the same facilities in
stopping as I had. I made the experiment for the express
purpose of seeing the signal. I was on the look out for it.
It would certainly make a difference to an engine-driver un-
acquainted with the line, but they are particularly bound to
attend to signals. It would be desirable for a driver on first
going on the line to be accompanied by a person having a.
knowledge of it. It is usual to have breaks with goods
trains, but I cannot say that it was imperative to have one
on such a train as led to the occurrence—at least on such a
train as I made the experiment. I noticed a station between
Ilford and Stratford, and think it very necessary that there
should be signals at stations where passenger trains stop. It
depends upon the amount of work whether one man should
act as signal-man and point-man. I have seen horse-boxes
in all parts of a train—in the front, middle, and rear. If a
break had been applied at the last carriage, it would have
much assisted in stopping the train.
In answer to Mr. Hare, a gentleman who appeared to
watch the proceedings on behalf of the relatives of the de-
ceased, Captain Coddington thought it very desirable that:
persons should undergo a rigid examination to qualify them
for engine-drivers.
By the CORONER—I do not think a person blind with eme
eye is necessarily incapacitated from working as an eng:ine-
d river.
This closed Captain Coddington's examination, the rAroner
and jury thanking him for his prompt attention to %heir ap-
plication to the Board of Trade.

pas-

ford he did n'ot see the signal until the engine was under
it, and on )!'oolting forward saw the passenger train stopping at the station. Clare instantly blew his whistle, and re-
verse& the engine. The breaks were applied at the same
mOroent.
By the CORONER—CouId not account for not seeing th*
' signal before they got under it. There was no larking us
the engine.
John Tomlinson, the smith, who rode on the engine from
the Romford works, next deposed to the same facts as he gave
at the inquiry at Ilford. He saw the signal down at Strat-
ford when the engine came up to it. The whistle was sounded
at the same time.
Other evidence was then adduced., but the principal facts
elicited have been already before coar readers.
It being now half-past ten o'clock, the jury determined on
adjourning the inquiry until 'this morning at ten o'clock,
when the Coroner would immediately proceed to sum up the
evidence, and the jury determine on their verdict.

may Heaven grant—whose superior support is always
necessary to our imperfect wisdom—may Heaven grant
that, in the solemn trial which is to be accomplished,
those three great powers, who have so well and so salu-
tarily acted for the honour and the happiness of our
dear country, may receive from it the
,justice which is their
due! This wish, lam convinced, is that which animates
your breasts. You have done me the honour to call on me
to act as your representative. I have never at any time at-
tached more value to it, I have never felt more gratified at it
than at this moment, when I constitute myself, in your
name, towards those great powers of the state, as the inter-
preter of your respect and of your gratitude. (At the con-
clusion of the Hon. Minister's speech the air resounded with
loud and continued bursts of applause.)
