THE WEBSTER AND INGERsoLL CASE.
We have read attenuvely the reports
submitted to the House by the majority
and minority of the committee appointed
TO investigate the charges made fy Mr.. In
gersoIl against Mr.. Webster, but we are
unable to come TO the conclusion so conf
IDENTITY announced by some, that Mr.. Web
ster is triumphantIy acquitted. It is true
that a majority OF the committee express
the opinion that ''there is no proof In re-
Iation TO any Of the charges to impeach
Mr.. Webster's integrity or the purity of
his motives in the discharge of the duties
of his office,"-but at the same time the
partial statement of the evidence furnish
ed by the committee shows a degree Of
negligence and carelessDess on the part of
Mr.. Webster, in the use of public money
which are much to be regretted 1t is ma
nifest that the committee were DESTROYS to
save the reputation of both gentlemen
for whilst they acquit Mr.. Webster, they
say that there was evidence which might
very well lead Mr. Ingersoll to the conclu-
sion to which he came, but that this had
been explained away, By the proof taken
by the committee. We think the matter
stands Just about as it did before the COM
mitiee acted-Mr. Ingersoll makes certain
charges-Mr. Webster denies them-the
proof is brought forward but partially By
the Committee and therefore the public
mind will undergo no change. We in.
tend TO publish both reports at an early day

Appalling Calamity in Quebec +!
One hundred liUeS IOSt-DeStrWctiue fire

Ohe HaHdfe0 tlDeS Destructive ttrc-
Forty-sir bodies found
1t has again pleased the Almighty to
afflIct our already chastened city.
Last night, at 10 o'clock, a fire broke
out in the Theatre Royal, St. Lewis street,
Formerly the riding school, at the close of
Mr. Harrison's exhibition of his chemical
dioramas. From the Information we have
been able to CLEAN, camphne lamp was
oyerset from some cause or other, and the
stage at once became enveloped in flames.
The house had been densely crowded,
but some had fortunately LETT before the
accident.
A rush was at once made to the stair
case leading from the boxes, by those who,
in the excitement of the moment, forgot
the other passages of egress.
In an incredibly short space of time
the whole of the interior of The buildings
was enveIoped in one sheet of hame--the
newly erected platform covering the pit,
and communicating at each end with the
Stage and boxes, fayoured the progress of
the fumes.
The writer Of this article was one of
the earliest on the spot, and present at the
closing moments of the hapIess beings who
persisted from their over eXerions to
escape. The staircase communicating
with the boxes was a steep one, and we
are of the opinion it had fallen from the
weight of those who cr0wed upon 1t. At
least such was our opinion at the moment.
One foot was interposed between the
hapless crowd and eternity and on that
space we, with five or six others stood,
the fierce flames playing around US, and
dense smoke repeling all efforts 10 eXtrI-
cate. As far back as we could see there
was a sea OF heads, of wrilhing bodies, and
outstretched arms. Noise there was none,
bat few means escaped the doomed. At the
extreme end in view there were faces calm
and resigned; persons who, from the
funeral veil of smoke which gradually en-
shrouded them, appeared calmly to drop
into eternal sleep.
BY our side was one brother striving
TO eXuicate another, but abandonment
was unavoidable. One poor creature at
our feet offered his entire worldly wealth
for his rescue; the agoniZing expression
Of the faces before us can never be ettaced
from our memory.
The flames at the time we're above ana
around US; but human aid was OF 40 avaH-
in five minutes from the time of which we
mako mention, the mass of human beings
who had but a short interval previous
been in the enjoyment OF 4 full and active
lie, were exposed to our view mass OF
calcned bones.
Up TO this hour forty-siX bodies have
been recovered from the ruins. Most OF
them have been recognised;a greater loss
of life than in the two dread conhagrations
Of last summer. Sad wailing pervades
the city. Scarcely street can be trav-
ersed in which the closed shutter or the
hanging Grape do not betoken a sudden be-
reavement Fathers, sisters, children oil
both sexes, indulge the deepest Rmenta'
ton. Wo has fallen upon many for those
who were thus suddenly and awlulIy sum
moned to the presence Of their Creator.
