LORD GODERICH ON THE CURRENCY.

The following has been transmitted to us for
publication
:
• .1, Carlton-gardens, Pali-mall, London, March 23.

Dear Sir,—l have much pleasure in replying at once
to questions contained in your letter of the 20th
instant. • 1

You first ask me whether I will oppose all restrictions
on the circulatingimedium for carrying on trade imposed
by the Bank Charter Act of 1844, which shall not be
proved to my satisfaction before the committee of in-
quiry to be necessary and beneficial.
To this I reply, that I shall
.certainly oppose all re-
strictions of that kind, ot• the necessity and benefit of
which I am not clearly convinced ; but I am not willing
to bind myself to form my. judgment exclusively on the
evidence which may be given before the committee of
inquiry which will•probably sit during the next session,
as I cannot tell in what manner that inquiry will be
conducted. •

Your second question is, whether I am favourable to
monopoly and restriction, or to free trade in a perfectly
gonna currency.
My answer is that I' am not in favour of monopoly
.and restriction, but have always advocated tree trade.
•The whols .question, however, with regard to the cur-
rency is, I take it, involved in the last words of this
-question, " a perfectly sound currency ;" and as I wish
'to give you-my views frankly and without concealment,
I must say that it is not my opinion that a perfeetly
sound currency would be secured by the removal of all
restrictions upon the issue of notes.

The scientific study of the subject of currency is com-
paratively new—it is a delicate and complicated one ;
and ram quite open to conviction upon that branch of
it to which yoar questions refer. The evidence taken
before the committee which is about to sit, will receive
my best, and I hope most impartial, consideration ; but
at present I am unable to convince myself that so com-
plete a removal of the existing restrictions upon the issue
of notes as you, as I am well aware, so ably advocate,
could`be adopted. with safety, although, as I have Said,
I shall always be anxious to remove every restriction of
this kind !larch may be shown to my satisfaction to be
.unnecessary.

Yon are quite at liberty to make this letter public, if
you wish it.--I aro, etc., GODERICEL
• Himer StanefelJ, Esq.

cated by him ig, "Take care of the quAlity, maintafoing
the Convertibility.of thernCto by adequate security ; let
the quantity take care of itself."

DISMISSAL OF THt CAPTAIN OF TDB

MADRID.

Captain Bradshaw, the commander of the Mad-
rid,' which was lost on the coast of Spain, has been
dismissed from the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany' service. The following is the report to the
Board' of Trade. of the magistrates who inquired
into the loss of the Madrid :

"Town-ball, 'Southampton, March 20.

" My Lor,ls,—We have the honour to report to your
Lordships that, in pursuance of your lordships' directions,
we have, under the picivisioN3 of the Merchant Shipping
Act, 1854, and with the able assistance of Capt. Robert-
son, R.IsT.,• your lordship? assessor, proceeded to inquire
into the circumstances attending the loss of the steam-
ship Madrid, commanded by Captain George Jones
Bradshaw, which took place on the 20th of February
last. • •

"The Madrid was an iron steam-ship of 315 tons re-
gister, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany. She left Southampton on the 17th of February,
and proeeeded on a 'voyage to Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon,
Cadiz, and Gibraltar, with the usual mails, 11 first-class
passengers, eight second-class passengers, and a general
cargo. sl3e made Point Hombre at the entrance of the
inlet of Vigo at 2.15 p.m. on the 20th of Feb., and be-
ing about 150 yards from the mainland, the vessel struck
upon a surken and invisible rock not laid down on the
Admiralty chait. The weather, was fine at the time,
the sea perfectly calm, and the vessel going at full speed,
or about• 10 knots. • She immediately began to fill fast,
whereupoh the captain ordered the boats to be lowered,
and, after getting out the mails and passengers, the ve--
eel was beached in a sandy bay, nearly half a mile
distant, and sank the same night on the the bulk heada
giving way.

" Prom-the depositions annexed to this report, it ap•
pears that Captain Bradshaw had been in the constant
habit of.passing over. the argue ground, not being aware
of any danger, a minimum depth of nine fathoms being
marked on the Admiralty chart, and no rock or shoal
being indicated thereon off Cape Ellmbre. It appears
also that •the numerous captains of ships who were ex-
amined before us 'have invariably passed equally close to
the, same headland, relying upon the correctness of the
Admiralty charts. • '
" Under these circumstances' we are of opinion that
the loss of the Madrid cannot he attributed to the wrong-
ful act or default of Captain Bradshaw. We, therefore,
returned. him:- his certificate in open court ; but, at the
same time, we must express our opinion that, as a gene-
ral rule, • 150 yards .is not a sufficiently wide berth to
allow on passing any headlands, which opinion we made
known in Court.

" We cannot conclude our report without calling the
attention. of your lordships to the incorrectness of the
chart published by the Admiralty, in which the rocks
whereon which the Madrid struck are omitted, and to
the fact that the seine rocks are laid down in the accom-
panying Spanish cline or the Inlet of Vign, published
in 1787, arid re-published by the Admiralty in 1812,
which chart the Company's Nautical Inspector, Mr.
Guthrie, has not been able .to obtain from the authorised
agents of the Admiralty, . though he has applied for it
within a week.

" We have the honour to be, my lords,
" Your 'lordships' obedient servants,
(Signed)
Justices of the Peace for the

THE ORLEANISTS AND LEGITIMISTS.

The 'lndependence Beige publish?s the following
letter from its Paris correspondent :--- _

Paris, March 27.

"I endeavoured in vain to procure the letter of the
Duke of Nemours.which. gave rise to the reply of the
Count de Chambord, published a few days since by some
foreignjournalq. convinced .myself that it had not
been communicated to any one. I was told that the
Duke of Nemours thought it too delicate a matter to
communicate to any person whatsoever a letter written
to his atigust cousiii. But on the same day upon which
that letter was forikarded to Venice he wrote another to
one of his friends, infdrtning him of the serious step he
had taken. This letter letter was communicated to a
few persons, and I have, succeeded, not without some
difficulty, in procuring a copy of it, which I now enclose.,
I thought it might have some interest for your readers,
although, to say the truth, I see that every cue appears
heartily tired of everything connected with this history
of the 'fusion."'

• •• • • " Claremont, Jan. 25.
"My dear Sir,—ln a letter from M. le Comte de
Chambord, written upon the occasion of the death of M.
de Salvandy; and published in the papers, there occurs
a sentence which repreients the reconciliation accom-
plished in 1853 as one of the firmest guarantees for the
future condition of France.

"This sentence,.as we have since ascertained, has a
meeting with respect to which it is now no longer pos-
sible to entertain any doubt, and its effects must be to
lead the public to-believe• in engageolents on our part
which csy brothers and I have never contracted. We
are theiefore most unwillingly-cothpelled to depart from
the sance tibich'ive had' determined upon preserving in
regard to our relations with M. le Comte de Chambord.
"The fact is that when, in a spirit of conciliation, I
Went to M. le Comte de Chambord, I only did so upon
the formal a.murance that this step did not involve any
engagement on our part. In expressing to him then our
sincere desire to.see France call him one day to the
throne; and our wish to devote all our efforts to obtain
such a result at a fitting opportunity, I was far from
offering him our blind and undefined co-operation. Its
conditions were, of course, to be determined by a previ-
ous understanding. These conditions, on our side, would
have
,been resumed in three principal points, which our
convictions, as 'Wel as' the respect due to,the past his-
tory of our family, forbid us ever to abandon
" 1. The maintenance, of the tricoloured flag, which is
Itowyin the eyes. of France, the symbol of the new state
of society, and the expre4sion of the principles conse-
crated since 1789.

" The re establishment of a constitutional govern-
ment.

" 3: The concurrence of the national will in the re-
establishment of this furor of government, and in the re-
call the dynaity. '
".01 these three points one only was entered upon by
me with M. le Comte do Chambord during his visit to
Nervi, and the result of 'the conversation was such that
I felt•myself called upon to . inform him that so long as
this matter remained undecided all community of views
between him and ourselves was impoßsible. Since then,
this state of things having to our great regret remained
unaltered, and the bare notion of a previous understand-
ing being rejected by M. le Cumte de Cnambord, it has
become incumiSeht upon us to put a stop to attempts, at
present useless; in favour of an agreement.
" We sincerely regret not baying been more successful
in .our endeavours to , reunite under the same flag all
shades of the Constitutional party, for we should be
thereby still serving France. Our resolution is hence-
forth to await events, and to tale counsel on each occa-
sion from reason and•our duties towards our country.

DiLEARYCL RAILROAD AOOIDEYT IN

CANADA.

(From the Rochester Union, March 13.)

We are called upon to record the particulars of
the most horrible railroad accident that has ever
occurred in this country, attended with the greatest
loss of life. •

The accident took place at 7 o'clock last evening,
a little more than a mile from the city of Hamilton,
Canada We:it, and to a train from Toronto, which
left that city about 5 p.m. The particulars have
been gathered from gentlemen who left the scene of
the accident early this morning. The Toronto and
Hamilton Railroad intersects the Great Western'
about a mile and a half west of Hamilton, and the
Toronto trains come down to the city on the track
of the Great Western Company. The train from
Toronto last evening consisted of a locomotive,
tender, baggage car, and two passenger coaches—the
latter containing about 93 persons. When this train
reached the junction just above Hamilton, it was
ascertained that the train from Detroit had not
gone down to Hamilton, as it was entitled to do
before the Toronto train. After waiting 20 minutes
the Toronto train came on.

• Just before reaching the bridge over the Deajar-
dins Canal the train left the track, by a misplace-
ment of a switch or some other cause, and ran upon
the bridge. The force of the train kno-eked the
bridge down, and engine and cars and all plunged
into the canal, 30 or 40 feet below.
The catastrophe was sadden and awful, and the
work of death was instantaneous and complete.
The locomotive and tender were entirely sub-
merged, the baggage car partially so. The forward
passenger car turned bottom upwards, and sunk so
deep that the floor was but a few inches above the
water. Every soul on board this car perished—all
by drowninz of course. The rear passenger car
rested upon an end, and was about half submerged.
Most of the passengers in the rear of this car es-
caped, the remainder were drowned.
Of the 93 passengers only 15 or 16 are amounted
for. Ais nearly certain that 80 persons have pe-
ished by this calamity.
When the train ran off the track some person,
supposed to be the conductor, cried out " Jump,"
and he, the baggageman and brakeman did jump,
and were saved. We are also told that a female
with a child jumped from the train just as it plunged
into the chasm, struck upon the ice beloW, and was
soon after seen climbing up the bank. There were
but few ladies in the train, and this is said to be
the only one saved.
Amon; those on board was S. Zimmerman, the
great railway king of Canada, and he perished. His
death will he a disastrous blow to the business in-
terests of the province.
G. B. Redfield, of this city, superintendent of
the Erie and Ontario Railway, R G. Benedict, for-
merly of this city, Mr. Pierson, a contractor, were
on board, and are among the saved. Our informant
states that among the passengers were many promi-
nent citizens of Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara, and
other places.
A despatch this morning states that 72 bodies had
been taken from the water during the night.
The train from Detroit, which should have
crossedithe bridge before the Toronto train, was
nearly two hours behind time. When it arrived
the passengers were compelled to wait some hours
to get across the gap of the canal. Of course
trains cannot pass until a new bridge has been con-
structed.

The disaster created great consternation at Ha-
milton, and the citizens of that place flocked to the
scene of the accident to aid in removing the bodies
and assisting the injured. The latter are indeed
few, while the former can be counted by scores.
There was a draw in the bridge to enable vessels
to go up the Desjardins Canal to Dundas. The
bridge appears to have been a frail structure, to be
thus easily destroyed.
We have just been told that Mr. Muir, superin-
tendent of the road, and the conductor, were stand-
ing on the rear platform of the train when the cars
left the track. The engineer gave the signal to brake
when the conductor cried out "Jump." Both he
and the superintendent jumped off and saved their
lives. The engineer was lost.
(From the Toronto Colonist, March 14.)
The contusion and excit went at the scene of the
lamentable accident on the Great Western Railway
eontinued to be so intense throughout ye,terday
that it was extremely difficult to obtain any infor-
mation in a connected or reliable shape beyond that
supplied by our telegraphic reports, which will be
found below.

The tetgraphic offices here were thronged with
anxious inquirers, and busied with receiving and
sending diessages from all parts of the provinces by
parties seeking inf.rmAtion of friends who have
been travelling in the West. Some of those inqui-
ries were of the most heartrending character.
Up to a late hour last evening numbers of men
were employed in breaking up the cars, and work-
ing with hooks and grapples to recover the bodies of
the deceased from the water. Seven men and two
women still remained unidentified, and it was in-
tended to bury,them. Thousands of people were
congregated around the scene of the catastrophe,
and it was found necessary to employ the militia to
keep the immediate locality clear to permit the
workmen to proceed with their labours. It is ex-
pected that the brigade will be repaired by Monday
night next. At present passengers are crossing on a
raft.

Every person in the first passenger car, except
Owen Doyle, James Baron, of Stratford, and two
children between 8 and 9 years of age, perished.
The escape of these seems perfectly miraculous. One
of the children was thrown out of a window on to
the ice it knows not how. The other was dragged
out of a window, having been up to its neck in water
for some 15 minutes, in almost a senseless state.
They were a little boy and a little girl, brother and
sister. They can recollect nothing after the fearful
crash, and being thrown upon their heads. Their
mother, father, and uncle perished, and Owen
15oyle, who saved himself, is their uncle. He saved
himself by forcing his way out of a window as the
water was rushing in. He remembers swimming on
to the ice, and then lost consciousness. James
Barton cannot tell how he got out of the window.
He recollects but a wild scream, being dashed
aga mist the ceiling of the car. Half senseless and.
11:31f drowned, he made a last spring for a window.
He was picked off a cake of ice a few minutes after-
wards senseless. The two children, marvellous to
say, are but slightly injured, and Doyle and Bar-
ton are but comparatively little hurt. Doyle had
his brother and sister-in-law, two cousins, and a
cousin's wife, and.two nieces, all killed or drowned.
And what with his own injuries, the fearful excite-
ment of the scene he had passed through, and the
loss of so many near and dear to him, the poor fel-
low wandered about almost bereft of his memory
and his senses. Barton's father was also lost ;
they were sitting together when the car was turned
upside down, and they were dashed against the top
of it. _ _

The escape of Richardson, Mr. Urquhart of the
express, the mail conductor, and the baggage mas-
ter, was equally marvellous. When the locomotive
and tender went into the abyss literally, the bag,
gage car swung round apparently as it was going
over', and broke loose from the tender. The conse-
quence was it struck on the ice to the left of where
the locomotive disappeared, and slid, so strong was
the ice, a short distance. It never overturned, and
its three inmates, though thrown among trunks
and all sorts of things, strange and happy to say,
escaped with but barely trifling bruises. The con-
ductor, hearing the smash of the bridge, and stand-
ing_at the open door of the car, leaped out just at
the brink of the abyss. He escaped unhurt.
In the second car, the persons saved were the
conductor, Mr. Barrett, the deputy superintendent,
Mr. Muir, and Mr. Je-sop, an auditor. They were
on the platform of the last car, and jumped off when
they heard the concussion. Of those hurt in this
car, are Dr. Macklem and Mr. T. C. Street, of the
Falls. The former is very much injured in the head,
and has a contusion in the side, but it is hoped not
seriously. Mr. Streets collar bone is broken, his
arm very badly hurt, and he is otherwise much
bruised. They are in the hands of the best surgeons
in the province, and strong hopes are entertained of
their recovery. M. Curtis, of Ingersoll, is dread-
fully injured in the spine, and is expected to die
every moment. Mr. Barton, jun., of Woodstock,
had his back broken, and is otherwise fearfully
hurt. He is sinking rapidly.
We regret to say, from intelligence received from
Dr. Widmer, who, notwithstanding his great age,
cheerfully went to the scene of the disaster, that
Dr. Macklem is not rallying as was expected. He
is perfectly conscious, however, but very weak, and
apprehensions are felt of some internal injury.
Mr. Street is rallying fast, and is considered out
of danger. Both he and Dr. Macklem were uncon-
scious for many hours after they were extricated
from the ruined' cars. Edward M'Feeley, passen-
ger from Toronto to Buffalo, was slightly injured.
Q. Foster, passenger from Toronto to Suspension
Bridge, was also but slightly injured. John Hen-
derson, passenger from Toronto to New York, was
slightly injured. Joseph Burns, passenger from
Waterton to Hamilton, had his collar bone broken.
Ferdinand Bergner, passenger from Toronto to
Buffalo, very slightly hurt.
Henry August, passenger from Toronto, escaped
from the first car. The escape of this person was
most wonderful. Re is a German ; and he and the
last named passenger were sitting together on the
rear seat of the first passenger car. The moment
they heard the first concussion they got up and
rushed together to the door ; the latter only reached
the platform. He jumped off just three feet from
the chasm. The other car rushed by him and was

gong. Re stood for a moment paralysed. Re
-then ran doviU the hill, and was the means of
saving from drowning his companion, who Was
not in time to real the platform. He dragged him
out of a 'Window, comparatively unhurt,

The room was well attended, but speculation made
little progress. Vaulter received good support for the
City and Suburban Handicap at 5 to 1 ; the odds quoted
against the other animals were merely nominal. At one
time as little as 9 to 2 was taken about St. Giles foi the
Great Metropolitan Stake., but at the close 5 to 1 was
currently offered on the field. Fisherman was the fa-
vourite ; 6 to 1 would have been taken about each of
four.

The transactions on the Two Thousand and Derby did
not present any "feature" for comment.
