She had been watching the Sampler, which still remained at Giber- alter unable to procure coal. In the House of Commons on the 17th Februaryâ€"the supplementary estimates for the naval and military eXpenditure on the Trent affair, amounting in all to £973,000, were. moved and ultimately agreed to.. In the debate on the subject, Mr. Bright sti-Ongly denounced the policy of the Government. He said the money had been worse than thrown away. The threatened menaces were quite uncalled fbr. Earl Russell 5 first despatch, be said had more the appearance of declaration of war than a' courteous demand for a just object which America could not fail to accede. He refuted the idea that the. American Government was influenced! by a mob‘, and argued that the interests of England was so bound: tip with America, that it was in every respect unadvisable to inflict a sting that it might take ccn ttiries to remove. Mr. Baxter endorsed the tone ofthe Government, but condemned the tone. of the press. Lord Palmerston defended the Mints- ters, and said that Mr. Bright’s Opinions were confined to himself. He contended that there was every reason to justify England in backing up her demands in the manner she did, as the course of the American Government clearly showed that they did not at an earlier stage ofthe affair regard the act as one ought to dis- a-rvow- There were doubts whether Eng l’antl‘s demands would be complied with, and certainly the people were not prepar- ed to submit to a refusal. He pointed to toe eulogies that werewhoweied upon Capt, \Vilkes, andsaid' that the British Government with thene'fhcts before them would have deserved condemhates if they had not taken the steps they did.

We trust, how- ever, that the good sense ofthc peo- ple will prevent the continuance of the practiCc here initiated. The reason assigned by Mr. Ty- rell for desiring an expression of opinion on one of the subjects above mentioned is quite untenable, and must have been uttered with- out due reflection. ‘As tO other matters, he is reported to have said, ‘ he did not see why they should not give an expression of opinion against granting further aid to the Grand Trunk.

(To the Editor of the York Herald.) SIR,â€"-Would you favor us by insert- ing the following resolution, adopted by the Officers and Members of the Rich- mmd Hill Temple, I. O. of G. T., on Wednesday, March 5, 1862: the Province ; and county business may be altogether too restricted for the proper exercise of their exalted talents. They may be veritable Solons, to whom nothing is want- ing but the opportunity, in order to render themselves famous. There may be a vast amount of unappre- ciated genius slumbering beneath the folds of their patriarchal gar- ments. But with alldue deference, we submit that they would better discharge their duties by excluding party politics from their delibera- tions, and by recollection, that they are not members Of Parliament.- Ne sutor supra crepidam. Under ordinary circumstances one would expect that the parliaâ€" mentary representatives of these Counties would be fully competent to attend to our interests in the Le- gislature. But it appears to be the Opinion of the majority of the Coun- . oil that this is not the case; and that it devolves upon them to in- struct these representatives in their duties. If the peonle have made an injudicious choice, they have themselves to blame. If they have elected incompetent men, who are incapable of dealing with the finâ€" ancial affairs of the country, it is certainly out of place for the Coun- cil to attempt to compensate for their deficiencies, by legislating for them.

W $ENGULAR ACCIDENT ONii'i‘t-iir GRAND TRUNKâ€"mTthEE CARS BURNED. Yesterday morning between five and six o‘clock,a very singular accident occurred on the Grand Trunk Railway near Port Union Station. It appears that a Con- ductor of one of the down trains left a short distance West of the station. He states that he put down the brokers and blocked the wheels. Be that as it may. the car was driven by the high wmd yes- tei day morning down the switch and part- ly on to the main track without being ob- served. On the previous evening about half-past seven o’clock, in special train left Kingston composed of the Directors’ car, a sleeping car, a first- class car, a Second class car and a baggage, and apost office car.’ Everything went well, and the train passed Port Union Station in safety, and was proceeding at a rapid rate on its way westward, about half past five o’clock when the engine came in enlision with the empty second class car, which was standing partly on the main tiack. A loud crash was heard, which suddenly wakened tip the passengers from their slumbers. The en- glue and tender were thrown. off the track and down a steep embankment, but fort- unately the couplingâ€"pin between the tend- er and baggage car snapped, and though the cars ran along a short distance until they were thrown off the track, they did not follow the engine and tender down the embankment. As might have been ex- pected, the passengers rushed out to ascer- tain the amount of damage done, with the expectation that they would hear that the engineer and hrematiwhad been killed or seriously Wodride'd. Their hstdnishment may be imagined when it was ascertained that although both-'ciigine-and tender had rolled completely Wear in gong down the embankment, the fireman had escaped witltout injury, while the engineer had only a few scra'clies on his nose. Their escape was InIraculous While the passengers were standing gazing on the scene, the engine and tender being a total wreck, an alarm was raised that the boiler might bu:st, and a stampede to get out of reach was the result. At this time the car which had been the cause of the accident caught rire from the engine furnace. The wind at the time was high, and the burning embers was carried to the Directors" car in rear of the train, and it was speedily in a blaze, The occupants, Hon. John Ross, President of the road, and Hon J. C. Morrison, Solicitor General, were suc- cessful in getting out their baggage. The flames communicated rapidly with the sleeping car and first-class car. and all were completely destroyed. Two women l l l H4W Vaughan Council.
