He was told by him that "l was for. ,nerly one of his clerks-that had been un- fortunate; but that, by kind treatment might be restored and that he had deter mined to help me along in carrying out my good resolutions" and among other things, mentioned my name.

 rasaa .nff. the track when about ten miles from and overlook tho first train just at a curve on the road, the fog being at the same time so deRse that objects could not be seen any great distance, and before the train could be stopped. the engine and locomotive run completely into the sternmost car, of the first train, leaving the side standing. A number of passengers in the car were seri- ously hurt. burned and scalded - how na. ny were wounded was not correctly ascer. tained before the cars came away, as the confusion was very great; thoy were how ever. taken to Westbury, where they would receive proper medical attendance. One lady with her infant and servant, were con- sldered to be in very precarious state.- After the mail and passengers arrived at Norwich they were three hours in travelling miles in stages to Gales Ferry, in conse- quence of the state of the road, to meet the steamboat, then they were detained by the fog some hours, and did not arrive here un. til after five o'clock last evening.

Mr. A. did not know what his cir cumstances were ho hoped they were no. such as to make such present necessary but, if they were, altogether he would not grant it to the nSture of pension or of gratui,y for that service, still Mr. 4. would agree to bear his portion in making up a subscription among the members of this House and others. to make present to the
