Speech. ACCIDENT IN HiGH LIFE.

The accident, on Saturday evening, so nearly disastrous to the Governor General, the Princess Louise, and their attendants, made quite a sensation in Ottawa. But the news, which promptly came, that Her Royal Highness was not much hurt, was reassuring. The intrepidity of Col. Bagot, who stopped the runaway horses. is warmly commended. On the other hand, Major DeWinton has again drawn upon himself the indignation of the Press, be- cause he interfered to stop the Press Dispatches containing accounts of the acci- dent. A meeting of the representatives of the Press in Ottawa was held in the Press Gallery, on Monday, and the following
