We need scarcely offer an apo- logy'to our readers, for laying be- fore them the finding of the jury in this fearful case, with other im- portant details as published else- where. Upon carefully looking over all the evidence, which was given before the coroner, we have a sorrowful impression on our minds that want of ordinary engin- eering superintendencc (notwith- standing the attempt to smooth it over) has been the prime cause of such a- fearful sacrifice of human life. When-we recollect that this is the third accident of the kind, one of Which the Desjardincs bridge catastrophe is more or less' charge- able to the .Iegligeii‘Ce of the com? pany also, we Shudder indeed. We do not. think such a loss of Nb 'consequent on thcibreaking down“ .of the bridge could-be parralellcd in the annals of Railway casual- ties. . We have scarcely had time- to recover from the dismay result- ing from our recollection ofthe hor- rid details of that lamentable af- fair, c‘re our feelings are enlisted on behalf ofthe. unhappy sufferers in tho_latc calamity. .VVc should scarcely deem ourselves justified in raking up such unpleasant ro- minis‘cences of' railway reckless- iicss (as we perceive the press ge- nerally speaking have dealt very severely with the company al- ready) were‘it not that. our attention has been attracted by statements published, with the signatures at- tached (as a guarantee. of their authenticity,) which, if only true by one half, we can arrive at no other conclusion ; than that the charges laid at the door of the Custom’s authorities, and "the Company’s employees will place their conduct in ,a most atrocious light. We have travelled on the Great \Vcstcrn Line ourselves frequently, and on one occasion were Witnesses to a scene unpleasant, and really dan- gerous, for which there appeared to be no redresséa scene rather exciting mcrriment in the servants of the company than otherwise, but which might have cventuated seriously. “We mention things not fi‘Oinany bad feeling to the Western, but hoping that by enquiry they may probe out all the price, that he refused toiliuy, and accord~ ng came on as far its finspcnsion Bridge those ‘ for rcturnin‘gia dead; letter- to the writer from one penny to thrceceuts. and that in all cases'where a one half-penny or penny rate is chargeable, and those rates be facts, and apply a. remedy. \Ve have heard some discussion about the Northern Railroad, and the changed from one cent and two cents reâ€" danger Of.tralfelhrlg--by that line’ specuvely. ‘ _ but we think It Will contrast very 6.

STATEMENT OF PA SSENGER. Mr. \Villiam Cox, of Philadelphia, who was a passenger on the train, says :¢-- “ \Ve stayed on the spot, exposed to the storm till 6 o’clock, when Ma train arrived from Hamilton, and took us to that place. Such baggage as could be found was also carried to Hamilton. but the railroad authorities would not allow any of the pas- _sehg€i‘s to touch it,and cvcrybcdyâ€"â€"ladics and children, as well as the momâ€"was ob- liged to await the arrival of a government oilicer to inspect the various articles.»- Somc of the gentlemen procured articles indispensable to the comfort of the ladies, by purchasing them at the stores. 1 pro- cured somc shoes in this way for Mrs. Gear; others got some stockings. The Hamilton people appeared very indiffer- "cnt about the matter, and we got no help from them or the railroad men. At last the government officer arrived, but only in time to give us our baggage.” STATEMENT OF MR. \VILLIANI SANBORN. Mr. \‘Villinm Sanborn, of Darien. (lencsee county, says:â€"“ W'itli regard to the. conduct of the railroad. officials, and the people at Hamilton, Mr. .5. agrees perfectly with Mr. C. Mr. M. J. lingâ€" llSll a tll‘OVEl‘ from Albion, picked out his carpet bag from the pile of baggage at llainilloii, but was not allowed to take it, and had to go home without a change of clothes. in the same predicament.” ANOTHER. Mr. I-lomcr Sackctt, of Avor â€"â€"‘- He too complains bitterly of the conduct of the people at. Hamilton. Having lost his hat in the confusion of the accident, he reached Hamilton bavclieadcd, and there tried to buy a cup. Nobody would Fell him one. except at such an exhorbitant bareliczlded.” EXTRACTS FROM THE ROCHESTER DE- MOCRAT AND AMERICAN. The officers and employees of the road are much censured. They refused to al- low any of the uninjured passengers to aid the. wounded, or even see them. They refused to (leliver up the clothing and such articles absolutely necessary to pro- tect the women and children from the cold, until the custom house officers had passed upon them, and finally charged for telegraphic dispatches which they did not send, the line being down. They We’re also insolcnt and abusive, and apâ€" peared to care very little for the result. Our informants say that complaints, were universal at the heartlessncss which was every where displayed by the railroad othcials.--â€"Buflh/o Express. The following is the Verdict of the Jury. “ They further find that the point at which the breach has occurred seems to be one of convergance for a large p0:- tiou ofthe surface water, which is disâ€" charged from about sixty acres of the high table lands to the northward of the Railway. They also find that the means which have been employed for conducting this converging flow of water fiom the natural basin which it seems to have form ed for itself at the base of the Railway embankment have not been sufficient to prevent the water fi‘om penetrating it. and thus no doubt directly causing the breach which has occurrel. They find that at the point of the breach there is no culvert or drain of any kind through the embankment. and while there is a culvert at a distance of four hundred and fifty-feet to the Eastward of quite sullicieiit capa- city and strength to convey all the water which might under any circumstanch drain towards it, and a very sulficient dc- cline. for web drainage, yetthe only chan- nel for the intervening distance is formed simply by the angle of depression of the mountain on the one side, and the Rail- way embankment on the other. That the. natural drainage for about one thou- sand feet westward is towards the said culvert, but the water instead of running along the said channel has usually perco- lated through the embankment, except on the occasion of heavy rains, when a con- siderable portion of it no doubt, has found its way to the culvert. They also find that the decline towards the culvert very irregular, for, according to levels taken by the Government lnspector. beâ€" tween the breach and the culvert, the greater portion of the descent is within fifty feet ofthe culvert. and the highest point is at the distance of three hundred and fifty feet, where the rise is 12.77 feet, while immediately opppsile the breach the rise is only 10.46, showing a basin of ‘2 feet 4 inches opposite the breach, which. of course, in cases of heavy rains, would cause a body of water of upwards of 2 feet in depth to lie at this point or findvits way through the loose stones at the base, through, or under the embankment itself. said jurors. that had there been either a culvert at the point of the breach, or an efficient drain constructed communicating with the existing culvort, the disaster would not. have occurred.” was , ObStinale “spoiety was he‘d at Mnflicliard .

The Council adjourned to the 131h inst, at 10 o’clock. ' In the proceedings before the Council on Monday last, we were much struck with a. strange and unaccountable :Inamoly, connected with the petitions presented by Messrs. Arksey & Bennett. The prayer of 1he petition. presented by Arksey, solicited «the action of the. Council to establish crowd as a public highway, by sanctioning statute labor thereon. Bennett’s petition was diametrically OppOscu to the other in word and spirit. and called upon the Council not to grant the road, alletlging that it was his private propertyâ€"(We should state that the ground has been used as a public highway up- wards of 40 years.) b‘trangc to say, (and we are at. a loss how to explain the absurdity,) both peti- tions were. signed in i‘riuriy in- stances by. the sonic individuals.â€" To be sure, a third petition was presented by Mr. Ai'ksey, signed by those parties, explaining the reason they signed Mr. Bennett’s memorial This third (locuiricnt seems to have been altogether overâ€" looked by the. Council, otherwise there would, we, ttppl’t‘llt‘lltl, have been no necessity for the instruc- tions given to the Clerk to C(llnll’lll- nicute with the inconsistent potiâ€" tioncrs. The whole affair excited a very pointed and warm discusâ€" sion airiougst the (lisputants, which ended by the Council postponing the. case until the next special meeting, when a full board is exâ€" pooled to attend. We decidedly object to these postponements. we” observe that several iii‘iportont moâ€" tions had to be slaved oll‘in Couscâ€" qucncc of the absence ofthe Reeve. \Vc have heard it mooted more than once that Mr. llowland ab- scnts himself when any trouble- some or cori‘iprouiising motion is likely to be broughtou tho tupz's.

' ‘i I lllCRldAS, by a judgment obtained in \‘ ‘ the Court of Queen’s Bench, Hilary 'I‘erni. 18.30. in the case Ofl'lAACKE vs. Tm: h‘lusicirALiTv 0F MARKHAM, the By-lawofthe suit) Township numbered 77, and intitulotl, “ A By~law to re-esiablisli and form new School Sections.” has been quashed. and wliernas the said judgment set forth “ that tho By-law having been generally considered as illegal. 5has not been enforced or acted upon. that it did not tl'ojlel'lV define the limits of the, school sections; that the inhabitants of the old section, .16. have always since gone ori acting under the old law, and raising rates accordingly, without regarding the now di- visions, which amignod various portions of it to other sections.” And whereas many of the reasons set forth in said judgment for quasliiug said By-law are unfounded in factâ€"Isl. The statement that the lly-law was generally considered as ' llog‘lil, and that it has not been enforced or acted upon, is uitlioui foundation: But, on the other hand. it was generally considered as legal, and has been acted upon in good faith. in crery School Section in t 0 Town- ship. during a period of three years and up- wards. 2nd. The statement " that it did not pro- tii'ly define the limits of the School Soc- ; ions.” although this may be true in a strictly; eclinical sense. iot. practically, it had oc- .c:-Isioned no inconvenience, as not a single instance is known since the passage of the iy-law of any inhnlvitant of the Township complaining to any officer or member of the l‘rlunicipnl Council of' its uncertainty, or that the intention of the By-law was doubtful,“ that the limits of any .Scliool Section was not fully understood. And. furthermore, tho' Chief Superintendent of Education, who ex- aminodrilie Byâ€"law a few days after it was passed. gave it as his opinion that it was quite sufficient in all respects. 3rd. The statement, “ that the inhabitants ofthe old Section. 16, have always since gone on acting under the old lnw, and raising rates accordingly. withoul regarding the new divisions, which assigned various por- tions of it to other sections,” is totally at variance with the truth, as the inhabitants 16. have in no instance rates; .not one shilling liavmg been levied: on said inhabitants, excepting under the new. .Bv-law. and in connection with the several school Sections, to which various portions of the old section had been assigned. And whereas the judgment in this case. of Markham, held on the 28th day of March. instant, be it therefore known and Iiiiderstood., bv all whom it may concern, that by the order and authority of the said Council, notice is hereby given. that it is the intention of the said Council. on the 23rd dav of April next. to p ss 3.
