in London, in conjunction with that of Paris, for the
purpose of aiding in a more extmcled expl,ration of
a subject so interesting to s_ieLce, and so full of curious
speculation.
M. St. Priest has (I( dicated to this of ject the proceeds
of the sale of his work, in two large ;olio volumes, ac-
companied by an Atlas, comprising 300 magnificent

designs.
We quote the following from the Journal des
Debuts :—" A year ago we mentioned a scientific
mission formed here with the object of preparing for the
provinces of Mexico and of Central America, an explor-
ing expedition which shauld extend and complete the
discoveries, so wonderful already, of the first expedi-
tion. This transatlantic exploring scheme, which at
first was but the yearning of some spirits devoted to sci-
ence, is now a matter of certain succzss, after the efforts
made during the past year.
" Never, it must be acknowledged, has there existed
so great a disposition to form such societies for enter-
prises of this kind. At the present day archaeological
expeditious are treated and undertaken in a manner
very different from the time when Champollion deci-
phered the hieroglyphics of Longsor and of Medinet-
Abon, and when Vo!ney sat in the Temple of the Sun,
in the shade of the columns of Palmyra.
" Persepolis and 13abylona have exhausted neither the
ardour nor the enthusiasm of savans and poets. Egypt
has been searched in every corner, but much more still
remains to be examined in the archeological world. Be-
tween Egypt and Persia, on the one side, and Central
America on the other, there are regions at present al-
most deserted, formerly peopled and flourishing, where
must be found sumptuous palaces, majestic sculptures,
everything, in s word, that constitutes the necessary mag-
nificence of an advanced civilisation.
" What has already been discovered at Palenque,
which has been called the Thebes of America, will give
an idea of the vacuum that is still to be filled in the his-
tory of art. It is this vacuum which it is the object of
the exploring commission to fill. It has no other object.
It will be carried out by the simultaneous efforts of the
French and English savans, according to the plan ex-
pressed by M. de Chateaubriand in that importart work
the Mexican Antiquities.' This transatlantic explora-
tion, whi.:ll will excite a lively interest in all enlightened
minds, deserves the support necessary for realising all
the hopes that are attached to it by spreading some rays
of light over the ancient destinies of the American
continent."

said that if John Bull could make the boast that Ireland can,
and give proof of that boasting, we would never hear an end of
his vapouring. I make the boast not on my own authority ;
a Scotch philosopher, the successor of Dr. Chalmers, took
twelve years in experiments to discover number 1 of the human
race, and his testimony is that the first in stature, in weight,
and in physical strength was the Irishman—be was forced
to admit that.—(Cheers.) I am not deluding yo 7—
lam not telling a fancy tale—l am talking of what philo-
sophers have been forced to admit after having discovered
them by philosophic experiments ; and if John Bull
could boast of being number 1, we would never bear an end
of his vapouring and boasting.—( Hear.) We don't vapour
or boast—we feel our superiority, and declare ourselves too
good to be slaves.—( Cheers. ) As you go home to-night let
my words sink deep in your hearts. lam the apostle of that
sect which hol.i that the greatest advantage to political institu-
tions, and for the prosperity of the people, can be obtained by
peaceable, legal, and sinless means. Be you the propagators of
my advice. Tell the people that I waut every man to rally
with me—l want every man's shilling, and I will tell you why
—because there is a heart and hand behind every shilling—l
want the hearts and hands of every man. All we have to do.
is to bide our time. The history of England is not yet over—
England will want us sooner or later; she will want the ready
hand and willing hearts of Irishmen, and when she wants them
Ireland is free—she must boy our hearts by giving us liberty,
and that moment the Parliament is in College-green, and Ire-
land is herself again.—( Great cheering. )

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.

Euston station, July 29, 1815.
" Sir,-.-The Lancashire mail, which is timed to arrive at the
Euston station at 32 minutes past 5 a.m., entered the Camden
station at 5 a.m., as the first goods' train from London was
crossing the down line to proceed on its journey. The conse-
quence was a collision, which forced the engine, tender, and
parcels' van, in front of the mail train, off the rails, injuring
some of the waggons and carriages, and causing a fracture in
the leg of one of the passengers in a second-class carriage, and
several severe cuts on the face and head to another passenger,
by the breaking of the glass of the coupe of a first-class carriage
in which he was riding, with his face to the engine. It does
not appear that any inure passengers were injured.
" In reporting these occurrences for the information of the
Lords of the Privy Council for Trade, I would invite their
attention to the following facts :
" 1. That the mail train arrived at the Camden station
fifteen minutes before its time.

The following official report fv.rn Mr. Creed, the secretary
of the London and Birmingham Railway, has been forwarded
to Mr. Laing, the secretary of the Railway Department of the
Board of Trade :

Hocedez has arrived to.day at Brussels from Courtray, with the

"a. That the goods' train, on the other hand, was fifty
minutes later than its regular time of departure (owing to the
unusual number of trains which were to be conveyed).

‘• 3. That although the policeman at Chalk.farin-bridge had
turned on the red signal, when the goods' train began to move,
there was so much fog that the driver of a train coming out of
the tunnel could not well have seen the signal, and consequently
that in not going forward to communicate with the policeman
at the south cud of the tunnel, according to orders provided
for there cases, the policeman at the bridge failed in the per-
formance of his duty."
General Pasley was expected down in the course of yester-
day, to inspect the spot where the catastrophe occurred. The
engine, lugagge van, and first carriages, were completely shat-
tered to fragments. The blame is conceived to be chiefly at-
tributable to the trains being " ill-timed. '"1. he signal-man at
Chalk-farm-bridge has occupied that port, it appears, for the
last seven years.

Tim LATE COLLISION ON THE
SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.
EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE DRIVER.
Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, Captain Charlewood, R.N.,
of the South-Eastern Railway Company, attended the Court-house,
Tunbridge, before Mr. Hare, one of the county magistrates, to
prosecute Joseph Walker, an engine driver in the employ of the
Company, for negligently causing the collision on that line, at the
Penshurst station, on Monday night, whereby the lives of nearly
300 persons were endangered.
The defendant, who appears to be about 30 years of age, was
brought up in custody of the railway police, under whose surveil-
lance he had been since the night of the accident.
The first witness, William Merchant, was then examined.—He
said he was a porter at the railway station at Tunbridge. On Monday
evening last, on the arrival at that station of the half-past six o'clock
up train from Dover, he was asked by the guard whether the
back carriage or truck, on which a gentleman's carriage for
that station, was unoccupied. He replied that he did not
know, and went to ascertain, when he found it was not, and then
detached it. Scarcely had he done so, before a gentleman called
him to take his portmanteau Into the waiting-room, which he did,
and returned to the platform. He then heard some one call out to
guard Shelley, " Was it all right behind ?" The reply given
was, " Yes," and the whistle was immediately sounded and the
train :proceeded. Witness, knowing that the signal lights were
on the carriage which he detached, ran to the last car-
riage of the train to see if they had been shifted to their
proper places, but found that they had not, and that the train was
going on without them. It was a very long train, comprising
more than thirty carriages, and was drawn by two engines in ad-
vance. The moment he saw that the train was without the signal
lights he gave the alarm to the watchman, who held up his red
lamp to the engine drivers to stop, but the train being considerably
in advance, it was not noticed.
Mr. Hare wished to know whether there was an engine at the
rear of the train propelling it, as he had heard that such was the
case ?
The witness replied that most decidedly there was not. The
only engines that conveyed the train were in front.
In continuation, he said that the head porter of the station,
named Goodman, ordered immediately a pilot engine then stand-
ing below the station, of which the defendant was the driver, to
take the signal-lights and overtake the train. Witness took the
message as direeted to the defendant, who made answer that he
had no coke. Some was directly obtained, and, being placed in
the tender, the engine started.
By Captain Charlewood—The defendant was perfectly sober,
and he observed no recklessness when he left the station. He did
not think that more than five minutes elapsed from the period of
the departure of the train to that of the pilot engine.
The defendant here asked the witness what lights he bid him
take with the engine that the train had gone without ?—The wit-
ness ri plied that he most distinctly informed him that they were the
tail lights. .
The defendant denied it. He was told by the witness that it was
the engine light he had to take.
The witness, however, persisted in his former statement, and ob-
served that other witnesses were in attendance, who told the de-
fendant that they were tail signal lights.
Richard Goodman, the head porter, proved ordering the pilot
engine to overtake the train, which had left without the tail lights.
It was not dark, about dusk, the time being forty-nine minutes
past eight o'clock. The order was to go as far as Penshurst station
to overtake the train.
George Smithers, another porter at the Tunbridge station, said
directly the train was gone he was directed by the last wit-
ness to desire the defendant to proceed after it with the pilot
engine, as it had gone without the lights. He was positive he
told him they were the tail light.. While the coke was being
placed in the tender, he took one of the lamps of the private
carriage truck that had been left behind, and placed it on the ten-
der. He then got up, and while placing it on one side, in order
that it should not be knocked over, another man brought the other
lamp, and on taking it from him the engine started.
Captain Charlewood asked the witness if the defendant could
not have seen by their appearance that they were the tail lights ?
The witness considered that he must have seen them, as they were
the very large ones, having red glass, very bright, and stood
in a conspicuous spot in the tender. The speed the engine
was driven at he thought was about thirty miles an hour. It might
have been faster. They left five minutes after the train, and
gained the Penshurst station almost at the same moment as the
train did. Before, however, and on arriving at the Whitepost
tunnel, the defendant sounded the whistle and shut off the steam,
and after a short pause, remarked to witness, " The train is not
here. I don't see it; we must go on to the station," and then turned
the steam on. The station at Penshurst adjoins the Whitepost tunnel,
and from the spot at the entrance of it, where the defendant said he
could not see the train, to the station, is about 300 yards. A few
moments had scarcely transpired before the train was seen, when
the defendant shut off the steam and reversed the engine, as well
as put on the break; the engine, however, never stopped, and
dashed into the train.
Mr. Benjamin Cubitt, the locomotive engineer of the South-Eas-
tern Railway, was next examined at much length. He said that
he was in the train in question, and on his stopping at Penshurst,
which was about nine o'clock, he was alarmed by receiving a se-
vere shock, as if the train had been ran into behind. The train,
he should say, had scarcely come to a stand-still, and
the concession was very great. He immediately got out,
and went to the after part of the train to ascer-
tain the cause, and was surprised at finding an engine close in
amongst the carriages. His first object was to seek out the driver,
whom he found to be the defendant, and asked him how it oc-
curred that he had run into the train ? Ills reply was, that he,
the defendant, had been sent on to overtake the train, it having
gone without the lights. He, Mr. Cubitt, then examined the
hind carriage, to see if it had got the signal lights, and perceived
that it had none.
Mr. Hare, the Chairman—Do you consider it a judicious step
on the part of the officers at the Tunbridge station to send a pilot
engine to overtake the train in the manner which has been de-
scribed ?
Mr. Cubitt, after a pause—l do not think it was an improper
step, but it was quite a new order to our regulations.
Mr. Hare—Was it not likely, in dispatching the pilot engine so
soon after the train, to incur injury ?
Mr. Cubitt—The case is one of that character that I do not
recollect of a similar one occurring before. Of course, if caution
was not used, there was danger.
Mr. Hare—Then what was the risk, supposing the officers had
not sent off the pilot engine?
Mr. Cubitt—No risk at all on the Dover line; but on reaching
thejunction of the Brighton line at Reigate, where so many trains
meet, there was considerable danger.
Mr. Hare—Then was it wrong for the officers at Tunbridge to
dispatch the pilot engine ?
Mr. Cubitt—No, not exactly; but certainly the lights would
have been missed at the Penshurst station, and they would have
been replaced. If the guard had done his duty before the train left
Tunbridge he would have seen that the lights were properly fixed,
for he is expected to examine them and the carriages at all the
stations the trains stop at.
Mr. Hare said he was glad to hear that the officer at Tun-
bridge had not acted wrongly in dispatching the engine, for be
had done so to prevent mischief.
Mr. Cubitt, in continuation of his evidence, stated that the engine
driver was bound to obey the order of the officer of the station.
Taking all the circumstances that had been adduced Into con-
sideration, he was decidedly of opinion that had a proper
look-out been kept by the engine driver, the train in advance must
been seen a much greater distance than had been stated. As re.
garded the speed the engine was propelled at, ire could not state,
but it must have been considerable, as the collision happened within
ten minutes after leaving Tunbridge, a distance of about five miles.
Certainly the engine-driver cue-.t to have exercised greater judg-
ment on arriving so near the Penshurst station, so that he could
have more promptly stopped the engine. It was but justice tostate
that the defendant had been about twelve months In the service
of the company, during which period he had driven both pilot and
passenger trains, and they had always found him a sober, steady

lions on the subject. Bavaria will propose a great reduction, if
not the entire abolition of tolls on the Rhine and the Maine.

MR. WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENTS.—This very po
pular vocalist has commenced his progresses in the provinces, in
which he proposes to include Guernsey and Jersey, in the south,
and the principality of Wales in another direction. His opening
entertainment in Chichester, on Monday, wmost Aas auspicious.
very crowded audience on the eve of " Goodwood" was scarcely to
be expected of the Chichester folk ; some were engaged in pre-
paring to viclimise their lodgers ; and others, let us hope, the
greater number, to entertain their friends from a distance. Nu-
merous, however, the audience was, and of the highest class in
rank and intellect. There was a wealth of good looks too, which
all England, no, nor all the world, could excel. The fair dames
of Sussex mustered in some force, and the heights of Torres
redras were not more impregnable than the battery of bright
eyes, nor the troops that manned the said heights more potent than
were the soul sweet and heart-subduing smiles that greeted the
melodious interpreter of Burns and his brother bards of Scotland.
We know, for isn't it in Lempriere ? that an accomplished son of
Jupiter built the'walls of Thebes by the music of his lyre, merit
Anzphion lapides canendo, as jolly old Horace sings ; but Wilson
has effected an exploit quite as great; for, in the south of Eng-
land, he has moved, " by concord of sweet sounds," crowds of
people, rocks of sense (to make the case a parallel one), who
cannot be supposed to have very strong sympathies in common
with Scotland, and not one of whom, a stray Pheesie student,"
and the Scotch banker excepted, know anything of the vernacular
charm of
of the north (jh I, potent song." Yet it is not song
merely that works the wonder. " Wilson is so true to nature,"
say people of keen discernment and profound sense, who, though
they have never seen the peak of Ben-Lomond, or sniffed a salt
herring in the Broomielaw, can still recognise nature even when
she meets them far away from her native hills. What Moore did
for the dear, and now deathless, melodies of Ireland, when he
wedded them to Immortal verse, Wilson has done for what were,
before his day, the comparatively little known lyrics of his native
land, And, apropos of that, it were ill done to omit making some
reference to the manner in which " Tam Glen," ,r my spouse
Nancy," " Mary Morrison," and other such like gems of song,
are illustrated by the graceful instrumentation of Mr. Land.
MAYMMTII GP.ANT.—Stich is the bad feeling that
the discussion of this question has engendered, that two gentlemen
of Omagh lately were nearly having a hostile encounter on the
0 . mss ages passed between them, which affair was
lysettittlby the interference offriends.—Armag Gazette.
'We understand that Lord Mahon will succeed Mr.
Emerson Tennent as one of the Secretaries to the Board of Control.
Mr. Emerson Tennent will visit Egypt on his way to Ceylon,
in the hope of being able to conclude with the P.-xlia the
postal treaty, in respect to which Mr. Bourne has so lamentably
failed.
DOVER, JULY 30.—IIer Royal highness the
Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by Prince George and the
Princess Mary, arrived by special train about three o'clock this
afternoon. They were received at the station by Colonel Jones,
commandant of the garrison, a guard of honour from the 43d
Regiment, and a royal salute from the 'Western heights, and im-
mediately proceeded to the Ship Hotel. At six o'clock her Royal
Highness and the Princess Mary embarked on board the Princess
Alice, Commander Smithett, accompanied by Sir John Hamilton,
and proceeded for Calais. It is a squally evening, with rain, and
they will have a disagreeable passage. His Royal Highness Prince
George returned by train to London Immediately after the depar.
ture of the Princess Alice for Calais. A guard of honour attended
at the embarkation, and a second salute from the heights an-
nounced the departure of their Royal Highnesses.

Haines, 131, Cheapside, compound fracture of the leg near the
ancle, the mother of a guard, recently killed on the line,
dislocation of the right jaw ; and a talented painter (a baronet),
slight injury to the spine. There were a number of persons of
both sexes bruised and otherwise injured, but he had been unable
to learn their names, as they had gone to their homes on the night
of the accident.
Mr. Hare then Inquired if there was any further evidence on
the part of the prosecution ?
Mr. Cubitt replied that there was not.
The defendant being called upon for his defence, remarked that
none of the witnesses ever spoke to him about the train being
deficient of the tail lights. Ile clearly understood them to say, on
starting with the pivot engine, that the lights in question were those
of the engines, otherwise he should have proceeded with greater
caution. He never supposed but what the train had the tail signal.
lights, and consequently was on the look out for them. In proof
of his statement, he begged to call the fireman who was with him.
George Smith, the fireman alluded to, stated that when he
started to overtake the train, the conviction on his mind was that
they were taking the engine lights, and not the tail lamps, for
which they were on a strict look out.
The magistrate then retired with Captain Charlewood and the
chief clerk of the court, and, after a short consultation, returned,
when Mr. Bare observed that, after the whole affair had had his
best consideration, he was led to believe that the accident had arisen
from mistake respecting the order given to the defendant relative
to the lights. He therefore dismissed the case.
The defendant was accordingly discharged.
At the close of the inquiry Mr. Cubitt complained of the con-
duct of several of the passengers, and the manner in which he had
been attacked in the public prints, asserting almost to the extent
that lie was the party that hart caused the calamity, and even
while using every means to alleviate the sufferers, many of the
othurs were collared and roughly used, while he was similarly
treated, and designated a murderer.

FTATE or TxApn.—The demand for yarn both for
export and for home consumption continues exceedingly good,
with very firm prices; and the shippers appear generally desirous
to extend their contracts. In goods there is a fair steady business,
but without animation, except in domestics, which are rather
higher, in consequence of the advance in the description of yarn
used in their manufacture.--ROCIIDALR FLANNEL MARKET,
