Wer omitted mention of one incident in the visit of the Governor Genera! which is worthy of note. His Excellency was wait- el upon by a deputation headed by the Hon. Joseph Pope, who thus addressed him:

May it Please your Excellency:

The Henerable the Chief Justice, His W or- ship the Mayer of the City of Charlottetown, and myself, have been appointed by a nnmerons

and influential meeting of the inhabitants of Charlottetown and vicinity to wait upon your Excellency and respectfully to request that you weuld be pleased to honor them by ac- cepting an invitation te an excursion, by steamer on the Hillsberough, and a Picnic at the West River, thus affording the inhabitauts an oppertunit) during your Excellencies infor- mal and unexpected visit, of manifesting their loyalty to her most Gracious Majesty's Kepre- sentative, and the high respect which they entertain for ) our Excellency personally. We, however, have just learned with much regret, by a verbal message from your Excel- lency, through the Minister of Marine, that your previous arrangements will not admit of your remainin,s here after Mouday morning.

His Excelleacy having expressed his deep regret at the unavoidable disappointment, and having thanke:! the deputation, was pleased to add that he trusted on some future oceasion when accompanied by Her Royal Highness the Princess, they would have an eppertunity of accepting the kind hospitality of the loyal in- habitants of Charlottetown in any way best calculated to afford them the gratification de- sired, which would, he felt assured, be a source of much pleasire te themselves,

Referring to Sir John McDonald’s inter- view with the the St. John Sun says :

Manchester men,

“* We should suppose that the report of this interview is in the main correct, and certainly Sir John A. Macdonald’s attitude towards the Manchester men places him before the world, and especially before Canadians, iv a remarkably favorable light. When Mr. Mackenzie went to England, while his public addresses contained much that was interesting, there was about them a something which seemed to indicate that the free trade party had bagyed a Canadian Premier, boly and bones. He did not seem to represent Canadian opinion on commercial and fiscal matters as stoutly as he might have done. In _ faci, he committe himself to the keeping of Cebden Clubs and never afterwaras seemed to rid himself of his self- imposed chains. With Sir John A. Mac- donald the case is quite different. There is in his remarks tothe Manchester men a aturdy independence of feeling and thought altogether worthy of a Canadian Premier, the representative of several millions of Canadians. The views he enunciated in Opposition, and to which he gave practical effect when »2¢ came tothe Government, are the views which he maintained before

With the first seven months as a guide we have evidence that the increase on the re- ceipts ef the LC. R. for the Frrsr CLEAR year under the N. P. will be nearly a Quar- ter vf a Million!

This fact, taken in connection with the fact that the d:ficit of over a half million last year has been reduced to a fraction under $100,000, is something of which the Govern- ment should be proud.

At about 9 o'clock a special train with the Superintendent, the Roadmaster, and a body of workmen on board, went to the scene of the disaster; and the broken road- way was repaired in time for the trains to pass over it this morning.

THE INJURED PASSENGERS.

The writer visited Mr. Stewart at the Hospital this forenoon. He was in good spirits, hopeful of speedy recovery, thank- ful that the injury was no worse, and chiefly solicitous about Mr. McLeed, whose injuries, if not greater, are at least more apparent. Mr. Stewart suffers from hem- orrhage of the kidneys, caused by the blow he received on the back. The doctors think his injury serious, chiefly on account of his great age. Mr. Stewart is, we are informed, eighty-two; but, still, till yes- terday, vigorous and active. His benevo- lence is proverbial ; and though a compar- atively poor man, he never misses an op- portunity of doing all good he can. He was, when injured, on an errand of mercy —making a voluntary effort to get some poor debtor out ef Georgetown jail. One trait of his character was strikingly brought out by the dissster. Mr, Stewart is strictly a ‘‘totel abstainer.”” When the relief \train arrived at the scene of the accident, he was laid on the side of the road suffering great pain and apparently nearly dead. One of those who came to help the sufferers, offered him a flask of liquor or brandy. ““No—No,” he groaned,‘*I am ready to die; but not yet veady to drink liquor!” We give the incident as we obtained it.

Mr. McLeod’s injuries are chiefly in the face, which is dreadfully mangled. The cheek bone, and the bones of both the upper and lower jaws are broken in sey- eral places, and his front teeth, with the bones to which they are attached, are all gone. Last evening his face and head were vory much swollen, but under the careful treatment of Drs. Hobkirk and Beer, who attended him throughout the

night, the swelling is much reduced, and

with which he bears his injuries In con versation he expressed the opinion that the accident was due to a bad road-bed. Miss MeDonald, of Boston, has a number of serious bruises, and Miss O'Connor, also of Boston, is slightly injured. Both are wel cared for at the ‘Franklin being attended by Dr. McLeod. ‘They are reported ‘‘easier to-day.” THE

ACCIDENT. of the accident is not definitely known. It was at first re- ported that the flue was hound to both ears, and that it therefore prevented them from keeping the rail while going round the curve. Bui the fact that the flue was merely sheet iron and was not fastened tightly to the cars, explodes that theory. The opinion of some of the train hands and the passengers is that the “‘ rails spread.” If so, they must have spread after the loco- motive passed over the.n, for it never left One would imagine that

the rails at all. if the accident were due to the defective roadway, the engine, which is heaviest and shortest, would have suffered with the rest

of the train. Another view is that some of

the gear in the bottom of the car fell to the ground among the sleep- ers and tipped the car off. This view

seems to be strengthened by the jfact that the inside of oue of the wheels of the car which first left the track was found to have been worn bright by the action of a loose iron bar, which may, on becoming looser, have fallen to the ground. Sut whatever the cause of this particular accident, the belief exists, and is wilespread, that many of the sleepers on the railway are rotten, and that the roadway generally is defect- ive. We hbpe that means will immediate- ly be taken to disabuse the public mind of this opinion if itébe wrong, or to remedy the road, if it be correct.
