AN AMERICAN " GALIGNANL"

One of the delusions of Americans in Europe is
that a newspaper, similar to Galignani, for Ame-
rican intelligence, could be here maintained. There
are many reasons why such a publication neither has
been, nor can be, successful. Galignani was formed
in the days of dear postage and difficult travel to
circulate English news over the Continent from 3
central point, and meeting a requirement, it became
a great success. Then, even more than now, Lon-
don was the focus of English thought and
An article from the\Tinies represented the national
sentiment ; one from the Daily News the Liberal,
and from the Standard, the Conservative view ;
from .the Post came the fashionable intelligence ;
from the Athenxienz the literary; from the Economist
the financial ; and from the Spectator and Examiner
the more deeply considered weekly exposition of
important questions. Oat of a score of party and
class organs the editor of G'.ilignani had but to select,
and he epitomized in his journal the whole opinion
and general intelligence of England, and, stringing
these together, his columns gave English travellers
of all parti,!s and creeds something suited to their
ideas and a digest of those of their political oppo-
nents. America has no metropolis which assumes to
be the centre of American thought, nor has the Re-
public any journals which do, even if they aspire to
speak the national sentiment. The waves of the
Pacific lave the shore of San Francisco, and those of
the Atlantic that of New York ; while New Orleans
ships sugar, and Boston Wenham Lake ice. The alli-
gator basking in the swamps near Savannah, and the
bear making tracks overthe snows of 'Wisconsin, have•
no more similarity than the productions of these
districts, which differ even in a greater degree than
the sentiments of the inhabitants. The country
extends over regions so diversified, and climates so
dissimilar, connected in many instances so imper-
fectly, that each portion has a centre of its own
politically, commercially, and socially, with its
State Government and Legislature, its local men of
mark, its intelligence, and subjects of interest.
Thus then there is neither the concentration of
political and social news in one central city, nor
those organs of opinion which from such a centre
speak national, party, or class views, and a Galig-
nani editor, who with his scissors attempted to re-
produce in Europe every passing sunshine and
shade of opinion, as it lightened or darkened the
United States, would find he had undertaken a
task twenty Galignanis could not satisfactorily ac-
complish. The gist of the subject is concentration,
and it is possible with such nations as England
and France, for there the centralization is com-
plete. England possesses one SOVEREIGN, one
Imperial Parliament, one governing city, where
are established the offices of State, where the fashion
-is set, expression given to national thought, and
which itself supplies three-fourths of the subject
matter., IVhere is such a city in the United States ?
New York more nearly approaches- it from its great
population, trade, and wealth ; yet in that city even
the State Legislature does not assemble, and
though it is the focus of trade, and may become
to America what London is to the British Empire,
now it is only a commercial city. On the other
hand, Washington is the city of Congress and
Governmental offices, but nothing more ; Boston
claims to be the seat of literature ; San Francisco,
the Queen of the Pacific; Chicago the City of the,
Lakes and of the Prairies; New Orleans is the
outlet of the Mississippi, each asserting its individu-
ality, and aspiring to be a centre, at least commer-
cially and socially, for districts exceeding in extent
the United Kingdom. Yet in but few of these
towns does even a State Legislature sit, and
all have interests wholly distinct, with DOl
very many' objects in common. If, then, a
paper undertook to compile for Americans as,
Galignani does for Englishmen it would require at
least one for each centre we have named, and then
but scant justice would be done to the country.
Yet insurmountable as is this, difficulty, there 10
amther almost as great. The news of America
comes in fitful flashes through the Cable, less than 16
ought, but still sufficient to neutralize the scissoring
efforts of an editor. Bare facts are announced
which it is incumbent on him, from the fuller infer'
'nation he has at hand, to dilate on in explanation,
completing the story as best he can by filling 10
details and -probabilities. A paper of paste and
scissors would not only fail to represent Arne-
rica in Europe, because the editor could not pat
his hands on the recognized and concentrated ex-
pression of national, party, and social thought, but
because it would give mere sectional expression after
i
many of the subjects had been fully discussed and
passed into oblivion in Europe. The continents are
separated by three thousand miles of ocean, and'
at the same time, connected for brief, instanta-
Leous intelligence —au intelligence often snig"
ciently puzzling even to those who have the cluees
in their hands. Not only does a mail bring an ed,
tor papers from New York and New Orleans, froni.
San Francisco and Philadelphia, from Savanna,n,
and Boston, from Chicago and Washington,
claiming notice, which, if not given in a general and
condensed way, would swamp a dozen Galignanihi
but he finds in all articles on the texts flashed
to the world by the telegraph, of which the European
reader, if reproduced, would have a dim recollection
—resembled something he had read weeks before.
Would the Californian be satisfied with the opinion
of the New York Tribune? Would the Tennesseeoo
be. gratified with the sentiments of the Sprin[el
Republican. How would the light that fired the
soul of the Texan burn in Maine ? or would the
self-glorification of Chicago be congenial to the
ruined planter of the haughty Carolinas ? To catch
and record a passing shade of opinion through snob
a mass of diversified countries and interests is n°,
easy task—to give it all is simply impossible; Out
it is therefore incumbent on an editor to write, nn
to compile, his paper.—Anglo-American limes.

The Newport correspondent of the Spring 146111,1
Republican says of Mr. Belmont that when he first arrive"
from New York, fooling sore after the Democratic o°ll,v
vention, and being in an unhappy state of mind, he flat
refused to subscribe to the water carts that laid tli°
dust on the road. In consequence the carts left the
front of his premises unwatered, not only to 1115,.
own disadvantage but that et the passers, who brougb"t
such a pressure to bear that after standing out foe
ten days the wealthy New Yorker was compelled to Wc:
up. General Sherman, not the hero, but the gallant officeci
who left a leg at Vicksburgh, is at Newport in comtaant
of the fortress, and if that correspondent does not slaucl),,
him, he made a fortune by lending money to his suborciii,
nates at high rates of interest. The Boston Yacht Cluti
had arrived at Newport, and after a short stay left, 311 j
on the sth inst., the New York squadron, under lar;0.
Gordon Bennett arrived, when a ball was given at "*.
Ocean House, which proved a very brilliant affair. ,4
Mr. George Francis Train informs us that .131,
case will be brought up again next Tuesday, and, as it la
under the care of Mr. Butt, Q. 0., he expects to bid "°
bye" to the Marshalsea.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua-

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the promises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite fonds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co-, ;
Ilerries and Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and

No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at
least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two
first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number,
either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering.
The last four subjects, although counting in the compe-
tition, will not be considered obligatory.
The candidates who may be selected will be treated,
while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi-
ralty pupils ; they will receive wages the same as dock-
yard apprentices, commencing at ls. 6d. per day for six
days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per
day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist-
ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per weak
while away from their homes, either at the Szhool or in
the dockyards.
Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May
—will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining
five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi-
cal knowledge in the dockyards.
It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en-
gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of
their course of study; and they must rely on their own
worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ-
ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils
to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer.
Persons desirous of competing must forward their names,
with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which
they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing
proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, not later than the Ist September.
The candidates should also state whether they wish to
be examined as engineers or shipwrights.
The examination will take place on the 28th September
and three following days.
By command of their Lordships,
HENRY GORDON LENNOX.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably, allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

THE ACCIDENT 70 THE IRISH MAIL.

ABERGELE, Saturday.

The fact that a witness has come forward to cor-
roborate in some of its main particulars the extra-
ordinary narrative of Mrs. Dicken has very con-
siderably increased the interest in this inquiry. A
respectable and intelligent-looking young girl,
named Sarah Haughton, states positively that she
saw Mrs. Dicken " pleading" to persons to come out
of carriages in the fore part of the train, after the
explosion had happened and while the flames were
raging. Sarah Ilaughton says she was on the top
of the embankment on the left side of the line,
while Mrs. Dicken was on the sea-side, to the right
of the down train. It is admitted that the wind
was blowing from the sea and towards the embank-
ment, so that it carried the flames that way ; but
the girl says she could see across the train, as she
was standing towards the centre of the train, and
at a point beyond that to which the fire then ex-
tended. Mr. Eyton, the Coroner's Assessor, with
perhaps too much precipitancy, gave it as his opi-
nion that Sarah Haughton's evidence was " worth-
less." She may be, and probably is, mistaken ; but
there has been other evidence, still stronger, in the
same direction, and it will be more satisfactory to
the relatives of the victims of the accident and to
the public to have it shown by evidence that Mrs.
Dicken and Sarah Haughton are in error than to
have their evidence disposed of by an opinion of its
value formed by the Coroner's Assessor before the
close of the inquiry. It is desirable that any pas-
senger who may have sat on the side of the mail
train next the sea, and who may have seen the pro-
gress of the flames on that side immediately after
the collision, should be here on Tuesday. The
e-videnc! of Sara, th 3 guard of the goods train, was
listened to with the most anxious attention. As
will be seen by the report of the proceedings; his
examination by the Assessor had not concluded
when the Court adjourned. His testimony, so far,
has been given in a clear and apparently straight-
forward manner. He seemed to remember very
closely all the material circumstances connected
with the shunting operations on the day in question.
Several other servants of the company are also to
be produced for examination.

the embankment. She was nearer to Abergele than
the engine. She never lost sight of the engine. She
was about an hour on the spot. The engine never
was enveloped in the flames. The wheels were in the
fire, but the body never was in the flames. She
was not more than five yards from the edge of the
fire. All the fire was nearer to Holyhead than
was. The fIIIIIC3 were perhaps morn than half the
Height of the room. They were a little higher
than the railway hank. She had to remove, the
heat was so great. The wind came straight across
the line from the sea.

The Assessor remarked that he thought the evi-
dence of this witness worthless, though Mr. Wood
did not seem to think so.

Mr. Edwards-Wood—l certainly do not, nor do
others whd are no mean judges of evidence. When
I heard what evidence she could give, I thought it
right to produce her in order to corroborate the
testimony of Mrs. Dicken.
The Assessor had no doubt that Miss Ilaughton
was stating what she believed to be the truth.
By the, Assessor—Mrs. Dicken was pleading to
the people to come out of the burning carriage.
The wind blew towards me, and yet I could see
Mrs. Dicken at the other side of the train.

By Mr. Littler—Mrs. Dicken was standing
nearer to the engine than the Post-office van—a
little nearer, not much in advance of the van. I
was nearer the carriages th tt were not burnt. I
could not tell whether it was a first or a second-class
carriage Mrs. Dicken was pleading. She was
standing, I think, four or five yards distance from
the carriages. She was standing between the rails
on the sea side.

Mr. Edwards Wood inquired whether the Asses-
sor was a shareholder in the London and North-
Western Company.
The Assessor said he was not, and he was asto-
nished at the nut stion.

Mr. Goddard protested against the question, as
did Mr. Littler and Mr. Galbraith.
Mr. Edwards Wood had been desired to ask the
question.

The Assessor thought Mr. Edwards Wood ought
to have exercised a discretion before putting such a
question,
Evidence was here given in identification of some
property belonging to the late Mr. Lovatt Ferrell,
of Ellesmere. Evidence was also given tracing Mr.
Ferrall to the train at Chester. A licensed porter
stated that he had assisted into that train a gentle-
man whose photograph was produced in court, and
which was one of the late Mr. Ferrall.

on the main line. The place was on an incline. I
should have thought that the waggons would have
gone down the line by their own weight without
any backing of the train. I brought the train to a
stand on receiving the signal. I was again sent
ahead by the signal of Robert Jones; I again got a
signal from Jones to stop, and did so. I got.a
third signal from Jones to come back into the
siding. I don't Lnow prsitiTely, but, to the best
of my belief, the person at the siding now was the
station-master's s.)n. I was backing then to put
some nnre waggons into the siding, and also for
the purpose of pushing all the aggons as far they
could go iuto the siding, in order to tunke, room to
get the rest of the train into the siding, and so h ave
the main line clear for the Irish mail. While doing
this I saw the waggons I had backed running down,
but they had not yet reached the tail of the train,
which had been left on the main line. I had not
seen any one put a break on. I saw one person
running after th m first, Richard Williams, and I
afterwards saw Jones run after them. Neither of
those men caught the trucks before the latter reached
the tail end of the train. I did not see the trucks
strike the tail-end of the train. The last time I saw
them I should suppose they must have been 30 or
40 yards apart from the tail-end. The three trucks
passed round the curve. I could see the tail-end
of the train froth the points, and 1 could also see
the three truekS which had been " kicked off" the
train. I did not see the tail start off, but I saw the
two lots of trucks moving—one lot being apart from
the other. The lots were, I should say, 30 or 40
yards apart when I last saw them. • I do not know
what started the tail first. The descending trucks
remained within my sight only a few seconds. The
curve took them out of sight. I started to run after
the trucks, but was stopped by Richard Williams.
I think it was-20 or 25 minutes past 12 when I ar-
rived at Llanddulas station, but I did not look at
my watch. When I saw the trucks running down
it was 12.35 or thereabouts. I believe the Irish
Mail is due at Llanddulas station at 12.38. There
is no appointed time in the book for it to pass
Llanddulas, but it is timed to pass Abergele at
12.34. It is about three and a half miles from
Abergele to Llanddulas.
-At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Littler ap-
plied for an adjournment.
The Court acceded to the application, and the
inquiry was adjourned to an early hour on Tuesday
morning, when the evidence of the guard will be
resumed.

Alfred Sara, driver of the goods train, was then
examined by the Assessor—l drove the goods train
in question on the 20th inst. I had been in the
habit of driving that train for two years. I started
from Crewe. I came on to Chester, the first stop-
ping-place. The time for leaving Chester was
7 a.m. The end of my journey with that train is
Bangor. I believe I left Chester at the proper time.
I keep no book showing the time I actually start.
The breaksman has a book showing the time we
actually do keep. The time-table shows the time
we actually do keep. There were with me that
day Thomas Davis, the fireman, and two breaksmen.
I believe Joseph White, senior, and Robert Jones,
junior, were the breaksmen who came with me as
far as Rhyl. Richard Williams and the said
Robert Jones were the breaksmen from Rhyl. I
cannot tell the number of waggons I had when we
started from Chester ; we picked up some on the
road. We had no paraffin that I know of when we
started. At St. David's works, Saltley, near Ches-
ter, we took up two waggons with barrels which I
believed to contain oil. Ido not know what kind
of oil is manufactured at those works. Those two
waggons were placed in the rear of the train, next
to the break-van—in front of the break-van. I
have charge of the train as to working it ; the
breaksmen have to instruct me what to do. At
lily' station the train was a long one. It had 47
waggons, some loaded and some empty, when we
left Rhyl. We stopped at the Abergele station at
from five to six minutes past 12. I cannot say how
long we stopped. On the land side of the Abergele
station—a little beyond the station—l had to drop
some waggons. I had none to take up. I did
some shunting there, which occepied from two to
three minutes. To the best of my knowledge I left
Abergele at eight or ten minutes past twelve. lam
not positive, but, to the best of my judgment, we
left five or six minutes before our time. The par-
ticular train I drive is called " the pick-up train."
It has to pick up waggons at different stations. We
are timed to shunt for the Irish mail at Rayns and
Luptons siding. When we have doubts of being
able to do it in time there we do it at Abergele sta-
tion—semetimes even at Rhyl. On Thursday, the
20th, we intended to shunt at Llanddulas, the ordi-
nary place. We had some waggons to leave there
and some to take up. The siding is under the con-
trol of the station-master at Llanddulas. lie him-
self is the proper person to work the signals at that
station. lie was on duty himself on that day.
Sometimes the station-master orders his son to work
the signals. To the best of my knowledge it was
the station-master himself who worked the signals
ou that day. I saw him near the signals. As soon
as ever I arrived the signal was put up to " danger"
to prevent anything else from coming up. That is
the usual course. A portion only of the train was
on this occasion shunted into the siding, because
there was not room for the whole of it. Had
there been room the whole of it would have been
shunted into the siding. I could not of my own ac-
cord have shunted the train into the siding. I take
my orders from the breaksman. On that occasion
both the breaksmen gave me orders respecting the
shunting. The instructions were given to me first
of all by signal as I was drawing up. I drew up
the engine just at the end of the platform, where
the signal is placed. The break van and the two
waggons next to it would be further from me than
the points of the siding. A breaksman hooked off
a portion of the waggons. Richard Williams then
gave me the signal. I don't know whether two of
the breaksmen or one of them unhooked the wag li
-
gons. The tail end of the train was taken off. I
know they were unhooked, because when I started
again I left part of the train behind. I saw nothing
about the uncoupling till I got the signal and moved
on. I got a signal to go ahead." It was given by
the breaksman holding his arm up. I saw the tail
of the train which I had left behind at different
times within a space of, perhaps, from five to ten
minutes. They were on the main line. I cannot
swear as to the number of waggons left behind.
There were the break-van, the two waggons with
the oil, and one or two other loaded waggons. What
these 1 waggons were loaded with I do not
know. When I had advanced far enough I got a
f.-igual to stop—one given with both arms. It was
given by Williams. I obeyed it. I then got a signal
from Jones to come back. The station-master was
holding the points. I stopped clear of the crossing
and " fly shunted" 10 or 12 waggons to send them
into the siding. To " fly shunt" is to give the
waggons to be shunted sufficient impetus to send
them into the siding without the engine going after
them. lam not sure, but I believe it was Robert
Jones detached the waggons. Those 10 or 12 wag-

Richard Williams was standing and watching the

waggons parted from the train, and went towards

The correspondent of the Standard says—" A

Railway, in New York, in May. One of them is an actor,
another proprietor of an hotel, a third a schoolmaster.
The Adams's Express Company has been robbed in Chi-

put up a card. After occupying the room two days they
received by express a package, purporting to contain a

act of delivering this package he was seized by the
throat; chloroform was placed under his nose; he was
beaten with an iron bar, and was finally robbed of all the
money in his possession."

David Deaugardis and B. B. Bell, and mortally wounding

Mr. A. A. Bell, living on Mulberry Creek. They also
killed a German and wounded a boy ou Brown Creek.

The changes in a country's climate by settlemeht
and cultivation of the soil often seem strange and incon-
sistent. A letter from a late traveller in Nebraska notes
some curious contrasts: "It is a frequent subject of re-
mark iu the Ohio Valley, that settling the country, clear-
ing and ditching the land constantly makes it dryer ;
that old wells and springs am drying up, and each suc-
ceeding summer branches run dry which never did be-
I fore. The "French Agricultural Report" makes the
same complaint, and calls upon the Government to
stop the destruction of the forests, as the means
of preserving the rivers. But here, with settle-
ment, exactly the reverse phenomena are presented, and
the quantity of rain in Western Nebraska and Kansas has
I doubled within the memory of man. Perhaps this is due
I somewhat to the trees planted on new farms, but I think,
I also, that breaking up the sod allows it to absorb more
moisture than it could in the prairie state, and in
many last tnces turning a hundred acres of sod
will renew an ed spring. French branches are
starting in gullies which have been dry for
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years. Thus, springs
break out in the thirsty wilderness, and streams of water
iu the dry ground!' Here is an important principle at
work, which will enable agriculture to mak ) great ad-
vances on what is now the American desert." Akin to
these are the facts of heavy rains this summer in Colorado
and California States where the rule of dry summers seems
to have been invariable heretofore.

Pugilism, under the smiles of the fair sex, is fast
attaining to the dignity of a "profession." When poor
Adah Menkon claimed to be the wite of John C. Heenan,

humiliation the more bitterly from the world's estimate of
the man's status. The. Spirit, in discussing tho subject,
sAys that Heenan is now married "to ono of the most re-
fined, intelligent, and beautiful ladies who ever graced the
American stage." Mike M'Coole seems to have drawn as
good a prize in the matrimonial lottery. Mike paraded
himself before the windows of a convent, and by his
"elegant" appearance captivated Miss Mary Norton, the
daughter of a wealthy contractor, to whom he has just
been married in St: Louis. The event gives scope to the
correspondents, and occupies much space in the local
papers. We believe Mikis is under an engagement to
fight, and the young lady's advice about fulfilling it
was, "If there is honour to gain, then fight ; if for money,
then decline."

SPIRIT OF TUB PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Times says that Mr. Hunt's reply to Mr. Gladstone
consists mainly of what lawyers call " confession and
avoidance." The charge that the present Ministry have
increased the optional expenditure of the country by about
three millions in two years is acknowledged, but it is
said in defence that the additional outlay has been com-
pelled by reasons of policy, every one of which must be
admitted to be sound on examination. Mr. Hunt accord-
ingly gives in detail the items which make up the
greater part of the three millions to he accounted for.
The apology of the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not
meet the whole of the charges. The late Ministry left
the present Ministry a legacy of decreasing expenditure.
We say this although perfectly conscious that engage-
ments had been entered into by Lord Russell's Govern-
ment which would create fresh demands on the
Exchequer. -This plea, which has been pushed to an
excess, can always be brought forwar3. No Government
ever existed which had not made some preparations in
advance requiring new expenditure, but an economical
Government provides the money for new expenses
by cutting off or reducing expenditure elsewhere.
This is what was done in the conduct of affairs
by the late Ministry. The policy inaugurated
by the late. Government has not been continued by the
present. It has launched out in all directions, and
retrenched in none. Half-a-million spent in the dock-
yards may have some influence on that wavering body of
electors, very limited in number, who determine by
the way they give their votes whether Devonport shall
be represented by two Liberals or two Conservatives.
It may change the politics of the member for
Chatham, and have some influence at Ports-
mouth ; but proof is altogether wanting that it has
in any way increased the efficiency of the navy.
Protests have been constantly recorded against the inflated
expenditure proposed- by the Government, and when the
nation is called upon to decide to what Administration it
will give its confidence, the question of the relative esti-
mates of the two great parties properly becomes an element
in the decision. And as such and such alone we commend
it to the consideration of the constituencies.

The Post compares the apology of Mr. Ward Hunt to
the hero of one of M. Edmond AbQut's novels, who was
accustomed, in the accounts he rendered to his highly
virtuous father, to put down all the more doubtful items Of
his rackety expenditure as perks ate whist. So the Con-
servatives, when asked how it is that they exceed their
allowance, always reply, "National defences." But this
fact stands out, that in a time of peace and in full swing
of a policy of non-intervention, the Ministry has increased
our fighting expenditure (even as estimated, and if expe-
rience is a guide will increase it still more when actually
incurred) by £1,944,914, which amounts to upwards of
eight per cent. Can anybody shew that the " national
defences" are eight per cent, better for it? The Post
doubts it ; but perhaps the Government will be able to give
some startling, and, as yet, unexpected information in the
matter.

The Herald declares that the masterly letter of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer not merely repels the attack
upon the financial policy of the Government, but fastens
the imputation of waste and extravagance upon Mr. Glad•
stone himself. The right honourable gentleman no doubt
thought it rather shrewd tactics to supplement his anti-
Church programme with a cryagainst Tory extravagance;
and the avidity with which Mr. Hugh Childers took up
his leader's cue indicated that the charge was to be
utilised upon the hustings. The one indispensable
condition of a successful move of this kind is that
the Government maligned shall be content to
remain silent under the imputation. This condition
has not been fulfilled in the present instance, and all the
calculations are necessarily overthrown. Mr. Ward Hunt
has accepted the challenge of his predecessor, has refuted
his charges, and made some excessively damaging reflec-
tions upon his financial policy in 1866. Mr.
Gladstone is hoist with his own petard, and the
new Liberal cry is exploded ere it is a fortnight
old. We shall hear no more of Tory extrava-
gance. The most inveterate and unscrupulous
opponents of the Government will learn from the result
of this tourney between the late and the present Chair
iellor of the Exchequer that the less said about finance
the better. It is a question which the Liberal party are
chiefly concerned to keep in the background as much as
possible. Mr. Gladstone has burnt his fingers at it, and
his friends will certainly be careful not to touch that end
of the poker for the future.
Says the Daily News, Mr. Ward Hunt's letter altogether
fails to justify, or even to excuse, the large increase in the
uublic expenditure under Tory rule. It is little more,
indeed, than a confession of the exigencies to which a weak
overnment is almost necessarily reduced. And from
that letter, with the unwelcome facts which produced it,
the country will be able to estimate the cost of keeping a
weak Tory Ministry in office. During the last three
years of his administration Mr. Gladstone reduced
the expenditure by three millions, and with,
the command he had acquired over the depart-
ments, bad he remained in power, we may be
sure the policy of retrenchment would have been
carried still further. By this time the reduction would
not improbably have reached five millions, thus bringing
the current expenditure down to the sum which, according
to Tory critics, is its natural and proper level. The Tory
Government, however,, nstead of offe,cting this reduction,
which, according to its own advocates, would have been so
easy, have increased the public expenditure by three
millions. According to the data supplied by themselves,
the continuance in office of a weak Tory Government
thus costs the country from six to eight millions annually.
The sum of the whole account (the Standard remarks; c
is, that so far as the civil service expenditure is con-
cerned, the present Government has not increased it,
except in the fulfilment of engagements entered into by
the late Government, by more than the augmentation
of the votes for the educational department and a grant
towards the building of Glasgow University ; that of the
other two millions of increase, absorbed by the army
and navy, nearly half has gone to give increased pay
and greater comforts to our soldiers and sailors,
-and the remainder has been spent in ships and
guns which were absolutely needed ; whilst the results of
the expenditure in these two services are, that the conver-
sion of small arms is nearly.completed, that our forts aro
armed, that the navy has been brought into a much
greater condition of efficiency, and that service in the
army has been rendered so much more attractive, that
twenty-six thousand veteran troops have re-engaged them-
selves. Not only has the country got good money's worth
for its increased outlay, but any postponement of the ad.
ditional expenditure would have made the burden far
score onerous when at last undertaken.

No one, the Telegraph observes, blames the Government
Col- converting our Enfield rifles, or for improving the pay
of the private soldier ; the accusation is that it did not do
these things without adding to the total expenditure of
the country. Mr. Hunt must be reminded that changes
‘ll. our national armaments, involving heavy cost, have
not been peculiar to' the time during which he has held
,office. Such causes of excessive eutlay have been con-
tinuous for the last dozen years ; they were of con-
stant occurrence between 1862 and 1866. Yet
they were met by a Liberal Ministry which did
not halt in the work of retrenchment. Here,
then, is the whole difference between the two
systems of adminstration. If Mr. Gladstone had held
office as Chancellor of the Exchequer during the last two
years, our rifles would have been converted and the pay of
the army would have been increased ; but the work would
have been accomplished step by step, simultaneously with
the enforcement of judicious economies, which would have
left the gross national expenditure no heavier than before.
The Government or the Minister, no matter of what
party, that does not make fresh expenditure conditional on
a previous retrenchment will forfeit the splendid oppor-
tunities of the time, and will fail to gain the confidence of
the people.
The Standard, commenting on the evidence being given
at the Abergele accident, draws attention to its unsatis-
factory nature with regard to the points whether the doors
of the railway carriages were locked, and how quickly the
fire spread. What can be said to the evidence of William
Roberts, a mason, who states that he ran a quarter of a
mile before he reached the train, and when he reached the
spot " the carriage next to the Post-office van was just
catching fire ?" There is also the statement of the driver
who leaped from the engine of the mail train. This state.
ment is not yet a piece of sworn evidence, but it is righ4
to refer to it for what it is worth. One version of
this statement makes the driver say that, on recovering
his footing after leaping from the engine, he gave a car-
riage key to a tall gentleman whom he never saw again.
That gentleman, he says, was standing on the steps of a
carriage, which almost immediately afterwards was seized
by the flames. There is also the extraordinary evidence
of the platelayer's wife, Mrs. Dicken, supported as it is
by the evidence of a young lady, Miss Houghton. Incredible
as the statements of these two witnesses may appear, they
are not to be dismissed without consideration. If mar-
vellous, the allegations are at least coherent ; nor can
we finally decide that Miss Houghton's evidence is
worthless, merely because, in the opinion of the Assessor,
she was standing where she could not have seen Mrs.
Dicken, as she says she did. Mere fiat contradiction from
the company's solicitor is of little avail until testimony is
produced to refute what is thus alleged. On the question
of locked doors Lord Castlerosse has publicly declared, "I
have sufficient ground for knowing that some of the London
carriages were locked on both sides." As for the Chester
carriages, the statement of the engine-driver—though not
yet given in legal form—indicates that some of these
carriages were locked on the platform side, and theref9r9
