Mr. FERRAND IN NOREOLK.—Mr. Ferrand at-
tended a Protectionist. meeting at Aylsham, in Norfolk, on
Tuesday, over which the Earl of Oxford presided. He de-
livered a long speech, mainly consisting of a coarse review
of Sir James Graham's observations in the late debate on
Mr. Disraeli's motion in the House of Commons relative to
agricultural distress. He contended that free trade was
gradually ruining all classes, and stated that owing to the
low prices of agricultural produce he had been obliged to
reduce the rental of his estate in Yorkshire five per cent.
" Believe me," he exclaimed, " I speak not my own senti-
ments only, but the matured wisdom of our forefathers,
whether engaged in agriculture, manufacture, or commerce,
when I state that if England is to exist as a nation, then
agriculture, manufacture, and commerce must all be pro-
tected, must all stand together, or together they will all fall.
—(Applause.) I tell you that a rapid change is coming
over the public mind—that men are beginning to think that
the time for protection to native industry is rapidly approach-
ing. The day is not far distant when the people of this
country, whether engaged in agriculture, manufacture, or
commerce, or whether they earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow, will acknowledge the truth and policy of the ex-
pression used by Mr. Van Buren when President of the
United States, that nothing can compensate a country for
being dependent upon foreigners for the food they eat '
STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—
There is no change since Tuesday; business continues
steady and prices firm.

PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSES.—A meeting of the com-
mittee was held at the Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell-green,
on Wednesday evening ; V. Figgins,Esq , trustee, in the chair.
The architect, W. Webbe, Esq., made a report as to the state of
the building, from which it appeared that the building was pro-
gressing rapidly and satisfactorily, and would be completed
by the 15th of the ensuing month. The other business
being disposed of, the thanks of the meeting were presented
to the chairman, in acknowledging which he begged that the
committee and their friends would use every effort to raise
the funds required to carry out the contract, and that all
would realise the promises made in behalf of the institution.
RAILWAY COLLISION.—On Tuesday morning last a
serious collision occurred on the York, Newcastle, and Ber-
wick line, near Darlington. The Government train, leaving
Newcastle at 5.30 Am., and due at Darlington at 7.20 A.M.,
had just passed the point of junction between that line and
the Stockton and Darlington Railway, about a mile from
the Darlington station of the former, when a coal engine,
which had been " shunting" some waggons into a sliding,
and was returning on to the main line, passed through the
arch of a viaduct which crosses at a point where the line is
slightly curved, and was within a few yards of the pas-
senger train before the driver of either engine was aware.
The steam was immediately turned off, and the motion re-
versed in etch engine, but not in time to avert a frightful
collision, by the force of which both were thrown off the line
—the coal engine being driven by the heavy passenger train
a considerable distance, and its tender literally smashed to
pieces. The shock sustained by the passengers was terrible,
and the injuries numerous and varied, although greater,
fortunately, in number than in severity or dangerous conse-
quences—contusions, bleeding noses, and broken heads
chiefly prevailing. Several are now lying under the care
of the surgeon, but none, it is anticipated, are fatally injured.
Both the engines were considerably shattered, and the Go-
vernment train was delayed two hours.
THE CASE OF STARVATION AT BATIT.-7The COTO-
nor's inquest upon the unfortunate woman, Harriet Sparing,
who died from starvation and exhaustion at Cottage-row,
Bath, on the 25th ult., was brought to a close on Wednesday
evening. The husband, whose brutal conduct was the
cause c f the unfortunate woman's death, and who ab-
sconded, has hitherto evaded the vigilance of the police.
The coroner carefully summed up the evidence, and pointed
out the legal distinctions between wilful murder and man-
slaughter, when the jury, after a short consultation, returned
a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the husband of the
deceased.

CLASSIFICATION OF PRIVATE BILLS.—The Com..
roittee of elassification of the House of Commons have

vate Bilis. The first group includes only turnpike Bills, of
which there are 16, and the second is confiaed t 0 two 131110
