EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9,

in Cuba; finallY, of betraying by her impotence and
weakness the sacred duties that Providince has laid
upon all Gavernments. Under simillr circumstances
what country has ever acted in a different way ?
"It is natural and easily understood that mankind
will shudder at the blood spilt on the scaffold for poli-
tical crimes during a civil etrife. And yet how many
more constant and numerous executions than that of
Havannah have recently taken place in the presence
of all Europe without one single newspaper raising
its voice to accuse of cruelty the countries in which
they wo re perpetrated ?
"But when the victims, whatever degree of pity
they may excite as unknown adventurers and merce-
nary foreigners, without a God, without a law,
without a flag'—who, as the Times so sensibly says,
are clearly as guilty of piracy as any felon who ever
swung in chains on coast or headland, sailing to at-
tack the possessions of a Government at peace with
their own, and to divide among themselves the plunder
of the expedition'—can then appear unnatural the ap-
plication of the law, and can it be considered as a
wanton act of cruelty ? Were they ignorant of the
law ? Were they not aware long ego of what sort of
punishment awaited them ? Did they not act with
perfect knowledge and most deliberately ? O, does
the cruelty consist in there being .500 invaders
instead of 20 or 30 pirates ? This would be just
a reason why it became more indisFensable and ne-
cessary to act with all severity; because the greater
the number the greater was the danger, the more
atrocious and deliberate the crime, the more impru-
dent.and pernicious the impunity of the pirates.
Lenity and generosity would have been in such a
case a proof of weakness and impotence which would
have brought swarms of fresh adventurers to plunder
and destroy the island of Cuba.
" And if historical precedents are consulted, where
is to be found a more lenient and clement Government
then that of Spain ? The English annals themselves
—do they not furnish us with many examples of more
numerous and harsher punishments? What has
England recently done with the pirates of the Chi-
nese seas ? Can the number of the adventurers that
were shot in Havannah be compared with that of
those so justly exterminated by the naval forces of
Great Britain ? And yet those Chinese pirates went
not in search of England within her own possessions;
they did not go deliberately to spill the blood of her
soldiers and her subjects; nor to rob them of their
property:

"Guided by these principles, Spain is determined
to follow the same course. At peace with the Go-
vernment of the United States, and respecting as she
does all the rights of American subjects, she will
treat and punish as pirates those adventurers who may
invade her territory, without inquiring whence they
come from or what country they belong to.
"If, in consequence of General Enna having di-
vided his forces, the expedition of Lopez has not been
totally annihilated within the 24 hours, its ruin was
nevertheless imminent and certain, according to the
last accounts. Pursued by the Spanish troops in
every direction, the 200 men that remained with him
were marching on the 16th towards Artemisa, the
only road that the well-concerted measures of the
Captain-General had left him open ; and in order to
meet Lopez there he had already sent a part of the
garrison of Havannah, while three columns that
were formerly in Las Posas harassed him in every
direction.

" Being now sure of the issu?, the Captain-General
had ordered the troops commanded by General Enna,
and those of Brigadier Rosales, to remain in observa-
tion from Marie' to the mouth of the Rio Blanco,
while those under the orders of Colonel Elijalor were
to return to Pinar del Rio with the purpose of oppos-
ing any new expeditions that might be sent from the
United States. The next steamer will most probably
bring the news of the total destruction of Lopez and
his band, against whom the spirit and the feelings of
the country have shown themselves mast decidedly
hostile. Nowhere have they found the slightest sup-
port nor sympathy ; on the contrary, wherever they
have arrived the inhabitants have abandoned their
homes and their occupations to join the troops and
fight them.
" The Spani4h Minister has deemed it his duty to
submit these observations, and to present en exact
narrative of the facts to the Editor of the Times, and
he sincerely trusts that in his impartiality and sense
of justice he will bear them in mind, or will have the
kindness to give them room in the columns of his
well credited and widely circulated journal.

previously been produced from coal, though iF had from
the distisjation of wool. If paraffine be heated, it is con-
verted iato olefiant gas, the illuminating principle of the
ordinary gas which lights our streets and houses. It
may, therefore, be appropriately termed " solid gas."
Tne oil produced is also paraffine in a different con-
dition, and thus Mr. Young, by distilling cosl at a
low heat, has succeeded in producing solid and liquid
gas. The importance of this discovery was pointed
out by Baron Liebig in a recent work, wherein he
describes the solidification of gas as one of the greatest
wants of the age. Mr. Young has produced the de-
sired result by a process preliminary in its stage to
that hinted at by the great chemist, and in weight
the results obtained by him tally exactly with what
they would be in the manufacture of common gas. In
practice nothing can be more simple than this disco-
very. Tne coal introduced at one end of a retort is
screwed out in the form of coke at the other, while
the liquid and solid products of distillation come away
from a separate opening. If successfully carried out
on a large scale, Mr. Young's process will yield very
important results, and among these may be specified
the economical production of coke for our railways, in
the manufacture of which vast quantities of gas are
now entirely wasted.

THE LATE DISASTER ON THE BUCK-
11VGHAMSH1RE RAILWAY.

This inquiry was commenced at the King's Head
Inn, on Monday morning, before W. Brunner, Esq.,
and a jury.
Inc bodies of the deceased Elizabeth Easley,
Thomas Noon, Sarah Sheldon, William Sheldon (her
child), Joseph Luckett, and William Carrier, having
been viewea by the jury, the following evidence was
taken :

William Colliss, cabinetmaker at Oxford, identified
the bodies of ElizAbeth Easley, aged 27, Sarah Shel-
don, and her child William.

George Garden deposed—l reside at 5, Thomas-
street, Oxford-street, London, and am a porter. I
was a passenger, and am fractured. I was on my
evey to Oxford, and was in a second-class carriage.
It was the last but one next the engine. We left
Euston station at 4.30. I counted 15 carriages, in-
chiding the engine and tender, when we started.
There were from 20 to 30 persons in the carriage I
was in. At Bletchley the carriages were reversed.
There was a soldier in the same carriage. We stopped
twice on our way down. The engine was in front of me.
At Winslow we stopped for water. We left for Bices-
ter. I found a rocking of the carriages, but I did
not know where I was. Two of my fellow-passen-
gers by the rocking, fell against me, and forced me
against the side, and hurt my shoulder. They clung
to me, and pulled me on my other side. I threw
myself on the bottom of the carriage, and found my
hat doubled up. The carriage turned over directly
on to its side, and the bottom flew off. 1 then crept out.
I do not know what became of the two persons who
were by my side. I only saw the soldier's back, and
should not know him. It was light enough to see the
rails. I have travelled by rail many times, and have
gone faster. We appeared to be going a moderate
pace. On coming to Bicester I did not hear any
whistle or cry of alarm. The rocking did not take
place till the accident, which was momentary. At
the time of the accident we were going at about the
pace we had before travelled.
William Bolton deposed—l live at 4, Olive-place,
Amwell-street, London, and am a cheesemonger. I
was a passenger by the train from London to Oxford
on Saturday. I was in a second-class carriage, next
to the engine. Joseph Luckett, who is my cousin, was
in the same carriage. We were on our way to Oxford.
A brother was with me. I did not perceive anything
wrong till the jar. I thought we came very fast from
Winslow to Bicester, but Ido not know the times.
I am not in the habit of travelling much by rail.
At the time of the accident there was a crash and
cracking, and I became insensible by a crushing on
me. There was a long signal whistle given, and I
remarked it to my brother. I have beard signal
whistles before. I did not hear any call to stop. The
carriage I was in seemed to go over like a crash of
thunder, and to come on me. lam told that I was
sawed out, and that I was under the carriage three
hours and a half. In the same carriage there was a
soldier and a person with mustachios reading the
paper. Yesterday I found that my brother was
hurt, and that my cousin was dead. After I had
lain a time under the carriage I came to myself. My
face was to the ground, and I was across another
person. We talked, and I managed to take his hand-
kerchief off. My face was to the ground, and the
dirt got up my nostrils. I felt a pressure across my
thighs and loins. We could not see each other.
lie was taken out after me. We could not extricate
ourselves. The lower part of my body appeared
dead. I heard the groans of the sufferers, and a man
laid hold of my foot from the outside, and talked to
me. It was me who cried out that they were pulling
my legs too close together. When I saw Joseph
Luckett, my cousin, yesterday, he was not dead, but
he was insensible. lie appeared to be dead. My
cousin is a cheesemonger, and resided in Carburton-
street, Fitzroy-square. Ile is about twenty-eight or
thirty years of age. Mr. Bolton, 4of Ferest.hill, is
uncle to me.

At this 3t;,ge of the inquiry a juryman remarked
that the chairman of tha company and directors were
present, and he put it to the coroner whether during
the examination of their servants it would be best for
them to witdraw ?

The coroner and the jury thought it should be so.
Sir Harry Verney acquiesced.
John Mason identified the body of Thomas Noon,
lance-corporal of the Royal Sappers and Miners.
William Carrier deposed—l am an engine-driver on
the Buckinghamshire branch of the London and
North-Western Railway. The deceased Wm. Carrier
is my son.

John Scott deposed—l am a butcher at Bicester.
When the train was coming in:l was near the station-
master's house, waiting to see the train come in. I
saw the train corning. The engine left the carriages,
and came on the Bicester side, and the carriages went
on the other rails. When the engine came towards
me, I ran into the porch of the house. Up to the
points the line is single. It is then double by the
Bicester station. From where I stood I could not see
the points ; but I think it was light enough for me to
see. Wilmott, the policeman, was at the points. I
did not see him doing anything to them. I saw him
waive the red flag before the engine came to him, and
Harris, the policeman, who was near me, waived his
red flag. I did not hear any whistle or alarm till the
engine came up. I was alarmed and ran into the
porch of the station master's house. The coke flew,
and the steam came towards me, and I got off as soon
as possible.
Thomas Shaw deposed—l am a saddler at Bices-
ter. At about seven o'clock on Saturday evening I
was by the side of the turnpike road, leaning on the
rails by the Launton side, when the train came up.
I had no reason to think it would stop at Bicester.
I heard the whistle of the engine before I saw the
train. It whistled up to the points. I saw Wilmott,
the policeman, at the points. Harris, another police-
man, who has charge of the gates, was near me.
Harris, when the train was near to the points, hallooed
to Wilmott, " Put them on the straight road." Wil-
mott turned round and called for the signal to be
put up at the station. He was at the place where
the handles were. I do not know how the points
were, nor do I know whether they were shifted. The
straight line for Oxford appeared to be clear. I saw
Wilmott waving the red flag before Harris called to
him. I could see the train for about 200 yards from
where I stood. There is a sharp curve on the Lxun-
ton side. The engine came on the straight line, and
knocked the rails down. It seemed to take a leap
towards where I stood, and went in the direction of
the station-master's house. The leap appeared to
commence about twenty yards from wher3 I stood.
It knocked down the posts in front of the
station-master's house, and went tear to it.
The tender was not attached to the engine
when it knocked down the posts. The
tender was on the line a little askew. The
engine was tearing the rails up. The carriages went
on the down line towards Oxford. I saw the car-
riages turned over from the down line. They fell
towards the road leading to Aylesbury. The car-
riages were detached from the tender. As soon as
Wilmott called to Harris a signal was put up at the
station. It was the red signal, and was put fully up.
I cannot say how many of the carriages were over.
turned. The engine had not come fully into sight at
the time Harris called to Wilmott to put them on the
straight road.
James Smith deposed—l reside at 14, Priory-
street,, Camden-town, London, and am an acountant.
I was a passenger in a second-class corriage by the
excursion trade from Euston-station to Oxford last
Saturday afternoon. When we left Bletchley-station
the carriage I was in was next to the parcel carriage,
which was next to the engine and tender. Before
the train reached the station at Bicester, I heard the
whistle of the engine blowing loudly. The whistles
were not quite continuous, but two or three of them
were very long and loud. I had no suspicion
that the engine was off the line. The first
intimation I had of anything being wrong
was the jerking of the carriage in which I was. I
was by the jerkiug thrown from my seat, and imme-
diately a mass of carriages came over me. It was
more than three home before I was extricated. I
spoke] to the poor soldier, but he did not answer me.
I was thrown on my back, with an immense pres-
sure on the lower part of my body. It was quite
dark around me. Before the accident occurred it was
just becoming dark. As I lay otethe ground amongst
the ruins, I had scarcely sufficient room to breathe. I
could not move my hands, and scarcely my head. I
never lost my recollection. I heard the soldier groan
directly after the crash took place. The deceased
mother and child (Sheldon) were in the same carriage
as I was. I have viewed all the dead persons, and
find they were all in the same carriage with me. The
crash was so instantaneous that I have not the sligbest
knowledge how I fell. There were two other persons
in the same compartment as myself who were not
killed, but were injured. I attributed my life to the
boy (King) creeping with a wet handkerchief to me
and kept me from fainting.
Thomas Dawson deposed—l ern a surgeon at Bi-
cester. In conjunction with other surgeons I have
seen the injured persons. I saw the bodies of Eliza-
beth Easley, Thomas Noon, Sarah Sheldon, William
Sheldon, Joseph Luckett, and William Carrier, soon
after they were extricated. and,
Easley, from
appearances, died from pressure, fractures, and suffo-
cation. She has a fractured jaw, and injuries to the
head. William Carrier's death Was probably from
dislocation of the neck, but he has other injuries.
His death was probably
,instantaneous. Thomas
Noon had pressure on the caest, end has injuries on
the head. From appearances I should say he died
from suffocation. Sarah Sheldon, I should--
from suffocation and injury to the skull.say,Y died
—he child's
death must have been instantaneous, from its skull
being fractured. Luckett, who survived some hours,
died from fracture of the skull and injury to the chest.
Mr. Wyatt and Mr. Acton saw all the persons with
me. Messrs. Wyatt and Acton were passengers by
the train.
Alfred Wyatt, of Oxford, medical student of Eines

College, London, deposed—l was a second-class pas-
seger by the excursion train on Saturday. Before
we reached Bicester I very distinctly heard a whistle.
It appeared louder than I ever heard on that line
before. The carriage I WAS in was partly off the
line, but was not upset. I think it was the fourth.
I felt a severe shock, which threw me back against
the carriage. It ras from some impedi-
ment in front as I suppose. It was repeated five or
six times, as if from shocks from carriages coming
from behind against us. I saw the engine whisk
to where it now is, and I did not know whether it
was not another engine overtaking us. We appeared
to be running parallel with it. One or two men ran
into the porch of the station-masters house. I got
out, and on so doing others jumped on me. I then
saw a man running away with his head cut open.
I went to him and told him to sit down, and I would
sew his head up. I had my instruments with me.
At the moment I found there was more serious
work. Two carriages were over in splinters, from
which there were piteous cries. Another carriage
was on its side. I then got a sledge hammer and
knocked the handles off a door, and let out persons.
A person was carried by me on a board. I asked
if he was dead. They said, "If you are a surgeon
come and see, for we do not know." I went and
found he was not dead, but in a hopeless state. It
was Luckett. His skull was fractured and he was
severely cut. I attended him afterwards, and took
charge of his property. He had a gold ring, 145., and
a pocket handkerchief. I then assisted others in the
best manner I could, and went to the public-houses
and ordered beds. I treated about 16, whom I have
not seen since. They went off. There are now nine
under medical treatment at Bicester. Some are not
out of danger. Late at night other surgeons came,
and Luckett was operated on. This house was used
for the reception of the bodies. The carriage in which
Mr. Acton was was a first-class one. It was turned
over, but he was not hurt much. lam of opinion
that the accident happened at the points, but how
would, on my part, be only supposition. When the
engine was running by the side it was off the line,
as if for the station-master's house. It occurred to
me that I would go and see if the men who ran to the
porch were smashed. I did go, and there found
that the engine had not reached the house. (Mr.
M'Connell at this stage of the proceedings placed
before the jury a map and plan of the locality.)
After the accident I looked to the rails. Se-
veral on the line near to the station-master's
house were with the chairs turned up. The near-
side guard of the engine is broken back near to the
wheel, and it ought to be four inches in advance.
All the rails torn up were on the Bicester side. One
of the rails was in the engine-wheel. This, I be-
lieve, prevented the engine from knocking the house
down. I heard Mr. Dawson's evidence as to the
cause of the death of the deceased parties, and quite
concur in his opinion.
It being now four o'clock, the Coroner said be
would call no More witnesses that day, but adjourn
the inquiry to ten o'clock the next morning. In obe-
dience to a suggestion of the Learned Gentleman, the
jury now accompanied himself and the railway officials
to the scene of the accident, where a very close in-
quiry took place as to the nature of the " points," and
the extent of damage done to the line, in order to As-
sist the jury in their investigation.
