LOIVDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2, 1868.

Nothing very new has transpired about the acci-
dent at Abergele. It is said that the inquiry will
terminate before Monday, and that Lord HAMIL-
TON'S evidence cannot be taken, as he will not be
able to attend before that day. This is unfortunate,
as he was one of the first to jump out of the car-
riages when the train came to a stand by the colli-
sion. After a caution conveyed to them by the
Asassor, the station-master at Llandullas and the
two breaksmen of the goods train said that they did
not wish to give evidence, but they will be able to
do so to-day if they deem it advisable. It would
certainly be more in accordance with the wishes of
the public that all those immediately connected
with the occurrence of that day should present
themselves, and throw what light they can upon
the tragic affair. One of the most important pieces
of intelligence was given by EATON, the station-
master's son, a lad of thirteen. Ile has been in the
company's service for three months, and he said
that once before he was thus employed he saw
trucks runuing Sown the incline till they were near
to the place of the accident, and they were brought
baek by an engine. This looks as if the carelessness

which occasioned the catastrophe was no unusual
tb;ng, and indeed the evidence of "SARA," the
driver of the goods train, shows that the system
employed was faulty in shunting the waggons so
near the time when the mail train was expected.
In the first place, a rule of the company states that
goods trains must be shunted ten minutes before a
passenger train is due. To add to the confusion
wcrse confounded of the whole affair, it seems that
there was not sufficient space on the Llanddulas
siding to shunt a train like that which occasioned
the disaster. It was thus necessary to divide the
train, the fatal consequences of which we have now
to deplore. Some time was lost in making prepa-
rations for the change necessary, and the driver

Mr. Provost Paradol in the Debats exposes the
disadvantages of personal government. lle writes :
—44 If the interests of France were not at stake
one could afford to laugh at the squabbling be-
tween the semi-official journals, but what is really
ridiculous is that any journal should presume to
inform us of what is about to happen. We have
often had occasion to remark that few Frenchmen
as yet understand the principle of the Constitution
under which we have lived for the last sixteen
years. One reason is that several terms used under
the parliamentary regime have survived the ruin
of that regime, and lead citizens astray. The word
minister, for example, has a far different significa-
tion now from what it meant formerly, and pro-
duces constant confusion. Even well-informed
journals are deceived by the appellation. The
France spoke a short while ago of an interview be-
tween Lord Stanley and M. de Moustier, and an-
ticipated the gravest consequences from this meet-
ing between the real an-I effective master of the
foreign policy of England and the distinguished
functionary who, under our Constitution, is simply
charged to carry out the orders of the Sovereign."
M. Paradol then points out that if, when the
Mexican expedition had been determined on, M.
Billault made certain promises which were not ob-
served, people were wrong to blame him for break.
ing his word, as he was only the mouthpiece of the
Government, and not a real Minister. M. Paradol
does not go so far as to say that under the present
system a Minister's word has no authority ; he
knows what has taken place, but not what will
take place. It is for this reason that the semi-
official journals who seek their inspiration from
different Ministers take opposite views of the posi-
tion of affairs. Ministers are as much divided in
opinion as the public as to what is going to hap-
pen.

THE INQUEST.

The inquest was resumed at half past 10 o'clock
by Dr. Evan Pierce, coroner, assisted by Mr. E.
Eyton, of Flint, as assessor.

_ .
Mr. Littler, of the Northern Circuit, instructed
by Mr. Preston, appeared for the London and
North Western Railway Company ; Mr. W. Gran-
tham, of the Home Circuit, instructed by Messrs.
Houston and Wragg, for the manufacturers of the
petroleum ; Mr. Goddard, solicitor, of Dublin, for
the relatives of the late Lord Farnham and the late
Sir N. Chinnery.
Alfred Sara, the driver of the goods train, was
examined in continuance of his evidenie on Fri-
day. In reply to the Coroner he gave the follow-
ing answers : —I do not think the tail of the train,
when disconnected, would hare stood on the main
line for a moment if a break had not been put on.
I did not see the three waggons which had been
kicked off reach the tail end of the train. To the
best of my judgment the shunting of the three
loaded waggons against the tail of the train would
have been sufficient to start the latter. I think the
striking of those waggons must have disturbed the
break-van so as to cause the wheel of the break to fly.
The three loaded waggons started down the incline
at about 12.35. The Irish mail was due at that
station at about 12.38. On that occasion we could

THE IRISH NATIONALISTS.

A difference of opinion exists between John
Mitchel and John Martin as to the propriety of the
latter accepting a seat in Parliament, and some con-
troversy on the subject has occurred between them.
Mr. Mitchel utterly repudiates the idea that the
national cause can be served by parliamentary
action, and declares that the sole aim of the Irish
patriot should be separation from England by
the instrumentality of the sword. The presence of
an Irish patriot like John Martin in the British
House of Commons could only, according to Mr.
Mitchel's view, compromise the personal character
and influence of the man, and injure the cause he
represents by its seeming acquiescence in the ex-
isting state of things. Mr. Martin takes quite a
different view of the matter, and states his
opinions in a letter to the Nation. He
urges that, as a member of the House of Com-
mons, he could still speak and act as an Irishman,
advocating legislative independence, and that "ap-
pearing in the London Parliament purely as a
representative of his country's desire and deter-
mination" to get rid of that Parliament's usurped
authority, he could make his position, with
the additional influence it gave him, sub-
servient to the attainment of the national will.
Remarking that a fundamental difference of opi-
nion exists between himself and Mr. Mitchel
as to the means by which the independence of
Ireland is to be achieved, Mr. Martin observes :
"It is my opinion that the Irish at home and
abroad, if they will consent to co-operate for such
an object, have means within their reach for co-
ercing England into a peaceful restitution of our
❑ational rights. And it is also my opinion that, to
some extent, I could aid my countrymen in labour-
ing for that great end if an Irish constituency were
to give me the position of its parliamentary repre-
sentative."— Cork Examiner.

FIE QUEEN IN SWITZERLAND.

A despatch from Lucerne states that her Majesty re-
turned from her excursion to the Furka last Tuesday, "at
half-past seven, by the steamer Wrunkelreid. A large
number of people, chiefly English, assembled on the bank
of the lake to receive her Majesty, whose return had been
previously announced. The Queen left again on Thurs.
day morning to spend a few days on the Itighi. InLucerne,
as everywhere else, her Majesty has made a most favour.
able impression by her simple appearance and pleasant
manners. Not long ago the Queen visited the cattle-sheds
on the Gutsch, when a servant was just at that time
engaged in feeding the beasts. At first, when he per-
ceived who was his visitor, he was greatly confused, but
quickly recovering himself, he saluted her Majesty with
" Good day, Madame Queen." The Queen laughed, and
asked various questions as to the manner in which the
cattle were managed. On another occasion, a few days
back, the Queen went to Goldan, and took a scat upon a
rock to draw, while her suite went on the Schritt. After
a time she called a poor woman who was standing in the
road, and sent her to summon the Royal suite to return,
for which service her Majesty amply rewarded her. When
the company had all taken their seats in the carriages,
the Queen said to the poor woman, " You can go home
now." " No," replied the poor woman, " you go ; lam
at home."

THE INQUEST.

The inquest was resumed at half past 10 o'clock
by Dr. Evan Pierce, coroner, assisted by Mr. E.
Eyton; of Flint, as assessor.
Mr. Littler, of the Northern Circuit, instructed
by Mr. Preston, appeared for the London and
North Western Railway Company ; Mr. W. Gran-
tham, of the Home Circuit, instructed by Messrs.
Houston and Wragg, for the manufacturer 3 of the
petroleum ; Mr. Goddard, solicitor, of Dublin, for
the relatives of the late Lord Farnham and the late
Sir N. Chinnery.
Alfred Sara, the driver of the goods train, was
examined in continuance of hi 3 ou Fri
day. In reply to the Coroner he gave the follow-
ing answers : —I do not think the tail of the train,
when disconnected, would hare stood on the main
line for a moment if a break had not been put on.
I did not see the three waggons which had been
kicked off reach the tail end of the train. To the
best of my judgment the shunting of the three
loaded waggons against the tail of the train would
have been sufficient to start the latter. I think the
striking of those waggons must have disturbed the
break-van soas tocause the wheelof the break to fly.
The three loaded waggons started down the incline
at about 12.35. The Irish mail wa3 due at that
station at about 12,38. On that occasion we could

LONDON, -WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2, 1868.

Nothing very new has transpired about the acci-
dent at Abergele. It is said that the ir.quiry will
terminate before Monday, and that Lord llAmin-
ToN's evidence cannot be taken, as be will not be
able to attend before that day. This, is unfortunate,
w.-; he was one of the first to jump out of the car-
riages when the train came to 3 stand by the colli-
After a caution conveyed to them by the
Assessor, the station-master at Llandullas and the
two breakstnen of the goods train said that they did
)iot wish to give evidence, but they will be able to
do so to-day if they deem it advisable. It would
certainly be more in accordance with the wishes of
the public that all those immediately connected
with the occurrence of that day should present
t'iemselves, and throw what light they can upon
the tragic affair. One of the most important pieces
of intelligence was given by EATON, the station-
master's son, a lad of thirteen. Ile has been in the
company's service for three months, and he said
that once before he was thus employed he saw
trucks running iown the incline till they were near
to the place of the accident, and they were brought
lack by an engine. This looks as if the carelessness

Eion.

whi,;ll occasioned the catastrophe was no unusual
ti,ing, and indeed the evidence of " SAnA," the
(1,-iver of the goods train, shows that the system
unployed was faulty in shunting the waggons so
mar the time when the mail train was expected.
In the first place, a rule of the company states that
woods trains must be shunted ten minutes before a
passenger train is due. To add to the confusion
worse confounded of the whole affair, it seems that
there was not sufficient space on the Llanddulas
siding to shunt a train like that which oecasioned
the disaster. it was thus necessary to divide the
t: ain, the fatal consequences of which we have now
to deplore. Some time was lost in making prepa-
rations for the change necessary, and the driver

MR. CARDWELL ON THE IRISH CHURCH.

The Liberal candidates for the representation of the
city of Oxford, Mr. Cardwell and Mr. Vernon Harcourt,
addressed a large meeting on Monday evening.
Mr. CARDWELL was received with loud cheers. He
did not profess to be a prophet, but it appeared
to him that what was going on at Oxford was
going on pretty generally amongst the constituencies of
the country, too, and he entertained no doubt whatever
as to the result of the elections generally. And when he
saw some of the most active-minded members of the
present Administration seeking for themselves agreeable
residences in her Majesty's distant colonial possessions, it
appeared to him that he might draw a somewhat sanguine
augury with regard to their estimate of the probable
result of the elections. One thing of great interest to him
and to the country generally had happened since he last
addressed the electors. When the resolutions respecting
the Irish Church were pending in the House of Commons
there was one circumstance which he observed with great
regret, and that was that cne of the ablest and best
of public men in the country did not vote for them,
but was conspicuous by his absence from the
division list. But during the last few weeks Sir Roundell
Palmer had vindicated Mr. Gladstone from the charge
brought against him of having taken up that question not
from sincere conviction and a true sense of public duty,
but from party motives and personal ambition. All the
cobwebs about the Coronation Oath and other similar
matters had been swept away by that powerful hand, and
that to him (Mr. Cardwell) had been a source of the
most sincere gratification. The question of the Irish
Church had not been brought forward as a religious ques-
tion, but as a question of justice and policy ; and it was so
regarded by the Roman Catholic laity. He was convinced
that in these days the union of this United Kingdom
could only be preserved by a policy of justice. It was an
an old, and unfortunately a true saying, that England's
difficulty was Ireland's opportunity ; but he asked
the electors of the United Kingdom to return to
the next Parliament men who would establish such
a mode of governing Ireland that there should be a real
and not a paper union between the two islands—
that there should be no difference of sentiment
and of interest, and that when next the Crown and
the Government of the country shall be exposed to any
difficulty, there shall be no distinction between the three
parts of the kingdom in the cordiality with which they
will rally round our institutions.

FRACAS IN A CHURCH.

The South-Eastern Gazette, in its Rochester and Chatham
column, tells the following story :—" Just before the
commencement of divine service at St. Margaret's church
on Sunday morning, some surprise was caused among the
congregation who witnessed the occurrence at a fracas
between the clerk and sexton of the parish and the
pew-opener at the church. It would appear that a
lengthened course of legal proceedings have been for some
time past in progress between Kingsford, who now holds
the offices of clerk and sexton of the parish, against P.
Weller, the former clerk and sexton, to deprive him of
those offices, which he had held for a great number of
years. The result of the proceedings has terminated in
Kingsford taking the clerkship and sextonship of the
parish, while Weller, the former holder, has been deprived
not only of his means of livelihood, but has been actually
driven to bankruptcy. A considerable amount of sympathy
and indignation against Kingsford is accordingly felt in
the parish, the church committee still employing the late
clerk and sexton as pew-opener and for other purposes
connected with the church, and refusing to recognise his
successor. On Sunday Weller was in the act of escorting
the officiating clergyman to the reading desk, when Kings-
ford attempted to prevent his doing so, on which Weller
either struck or pushed him down the steps leading to the
reading-desk. The occurrence, just before the commence-
ment of divine service, has given much pain to those who
witnessed it. One of the congregation has, we are informed,
since laid the circumstance before the bishop of the diocese,
in order that he might interfere to prevent such an
unseemly occurrence again."
