behalf of the emigrants, High Constable Bissonnette made all the necessary arrangements and Obief McLough- lin, with Sergeant Hunter and two Constables of the Government Police were in attendance, The prisoner Wm.Burney, Engine Driver on the train, was present during the inquiry.Mr, Coroner Jones said that the inquiry would be continued by the examination of such witnesses as would be produced.Thomas Valiquette, station-master at St, Hilaire sworn\u20141 bave been station-master at 8t.Hilaire for 16 years.Iam also telegraph operator, acd I am constantly on band, night and day.Trains passing in and out from Montreal generally stop; very few traine do not stop, perhaps only onejn a month.Itis a rule of the company that the teains should stop there for the time.Sometimes specials do not stop, It ia about a mile from where I live at the station to the centre of the bridge.From the platform I can pee the centre of the bridge, but I could not see either end; butl could see the semaphore signal on the top of the mast at the end of the bridge.From my position at the St.Hilaire Station I cau see the red or the green light at the signal mast, On thé morning of the 29th of June last, at fire minutes past one, a train arrived at St, Hilaire Station.There were several cars.I did not see those on board, but I was aware that it was laden wiih emigrants.As I stood beaide the train ao it passed, I heard » woman speaking a foreign language.The train remained ten minutes at my station to take in wood and water, after which, at 1,15 am, it continued its progress to the city of Montreal, I did not see the conductor that night, nor the brakesman, I saw the fireman, fre reason why I wouid pot sep the conductor or brakes- man, was, that they would be on the other side of Lhe cars throwing tbe wood on the train, This \u2018wad a special emigrant train and was not numbered.I saw both the fireman and engineer in their locomotive.I know neither personally, but they were on board at their duty, I cannot say if the fireman was sober or not.He might have been sober or not without my knowledge.I could not say if the engineer waa gober or not either, on account of it being night.I saw the eer and fireman standing on the left hand side of the engine.I cannot say if the prisoner, Burney, was the engineer or not.I was about three feet from the fireman and engineer when | saw them.Iiwas n bright morning, although the moon was not shiniag.The men were in their locomotive, about three feet higher than I was.I distinguished well that they were the men belonging to the engine.My attention was not particularly called to them; but they appeared to be standing steady at their posts, and attending to their work.I spoke to them, and warned them that a teain had passed 35 minutes ahead of them, for Montreal.They merely made a sort of exclamation, as thuugh they understood what I meant.The cars moved on then, towards the sted for wood.I did not see the men go tu their places to work when the train started.The traïn left in the usual manner, the engin tarting bis engine slowiy.In all, the train was stopped at my station for ten minutes.As the traln started, I returned to the office to report it, that is, to enter ths departure In the books, as I generally do.I came oat on the gallery again, and heard one whistle from the train in\u2019 question.1 Immediately up derstood that there was something wrong.The whistle meant \u201capply breaks.\u201d train was then on the bridge.Between three and four minutes had elapsed from the time the train left the station, until 1 beard the \u2018whistle, \u2018apply breaks.\u201d At this stage of tbe proceedings Mr, Devlin entered and informed Mr.Coroner Jones that be \u2018was therein his professional capacity ou behalf of the prisoser Burney.He thought it right to inform the Coroner of this.The Coroner\u2014Mr.Devlin, the prisoner is now in charge of this Court, He claims from this court justice and protection.My jury and myself will undertake this Ingeiry, and I cannot Jormit so gentleman of the Bar to appear -be tbis Court In his professional capacity, elth- er on behalf of the prisoner Burney, the Grand Trunk, the friends of the deceased.Mr, Devlin said this was the first time in the course of bis practice that he bad known a pris oner before a court of this kind to be refused the assistance of counsel.In the interest of justice he waa desirous of putting certain questions to the Grand Trunk employes, on pohaif of the Prisoner, who was to some extent an ignorant man.There were facts whioh could not be made known to the jury unless certain questions were Pat which he would write.He would repeat to tbe Coroner and the jury, \u2018bat it was In the in.forest of justice that these questions should be put.He was willing to pat the questions through Ooroner.However, if the Coroner thought he bad the right to exclude bim, of course be The whole to-day.MONTREAL WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1864.denied that he hed that right, The Ooroner\u2014I see no reason to alter the de cision at which I bave arrived.The mao is uo der my protection.Mr.Devlin again said he would state before the Jury that it was absolutely necessary that the prisoner should bave the questions put, The Ooroner\u2014The prisoner will have every assistance and protection, The exumination was then resumed, \u2018Witness continued\u2014 After I beard the whistle \u201capply brakes,\u201d scarcely half a minute elappod before I raw the cara go over the bridge.As soon as I heard the whistle I looked towards the lights on the Belœil end of the bridge.saw a red light on the top of the post.The red light indicated danger.I head the crash ot the train falling'down, As soon as l heard the crash 1 returned to my office and telegraphed to Point Bt.Charles.then went down to tbe bridge.Before I went down however, Giroux, the the brakesman (present) came up from the train which bad gone through.He told me that the draw bridge was open and the trian had fallen into the river, I reported this to Point St, Charles as was my duty.Gironx was very much frightened and gave me very little information, Me told me that he was on the Iast car and jumped off in time to save bis He.I did not see this train enter on the bridge.Trains may stop atthe St.Hilaire end without being seen from my station.The trees obstruct the view, even in the winter.Tralng aro required by the rules of the Company to come ton dead stop before they enter on the bridge.Immediately after telegraphing I went to the bridge and proceeded to the swing bridge.I looked down aud saw the cars then broken up, and buman beings moving and struggling among them.remarked that a great many appeared to be alive, moving from the weeek.1 remained there about balf an hour, and returned to St, Hilaire to make a second report.About three o'clock in the morniog the first locomotive arrived from Point St.Charles with assistance.Other trains came out with Mr.Brydges, Mr Bailey, and other authorities of the Grand Trunk, with medical men.I sent also for the medical men and priests of St, Hilaire and Be- loeil, and they arrived shortly afterwards.To the Foreman of the Jury := My first report was to Point St.Charles, addressed to Me.Dean, the train despatcher at that Station.The first message I sent was something like this : \u2014\u201c* Kmi- grant train met with an accident at the bridge ; 1 suppose the whole of the train is in the river.\u201d I got no reply to this.I knew before the arrival of the emigrant train that it was coming, and warned the tralo which preceded it that it was coming after.To Mr, Isaacson :\u2014The conductor did not report bimeelf to me when he arrived at my station.I think he should have done so but I am not sure.I did not see any persons on the bridge when I passed over immediately after the accident.I met no persons on the road between the bridge and the station.To Mr.Wagner :\u2014There is no telegraph office at Belœil, 90 that I could not send word there that the traic was coming.I do not know the rules about opening the swing bridge.To Mr.Becket:\u2014I am of opinion that the brakesman was at bis duty.The brakesman generally assists the woodmen to throw wood on the tender.Not seeing bim, I took It for granted be was on the other side of tie train, doing ao.If the brakeeman is not there to help, the engineer blows Lia whistle for assistance.The whisile did not blow, #0 that be must bave been there.The conductor very often assiats io tbrowing on the woud.The engiocer and fireman do not assist, They must remain in tbeir places.1did not see the conductor that night at all.The station is on the south side, and the wood-shed oa the north side of the train.The conductor might have got off on the no: th side to walk down to the wood-shed without my seeing bim.The eigoals are always the same=the red one is fur danger, and the green for caution.Tle same signals Lave been in us9 since tte Company was started.The red signal is not only for danger, but to stop.from tbe last car, which was the one which bad the powerful brakes, A brakesman on that car would bave more power in checking the train than any where else.There iz no such rule as that I should supply the emigrants with water at my station.Mr.Ogilvie\u2014If the brakesman had not jumped do jeu think he could have saved some of the cars by going on putting on the brakes ?Witness\u2014I cannot answer that question.Mz.Valiquelts was then permitted to with drawn for the present.Stephen Dillon aworn\u2014I am station master end guard at the Belæil bridge on the Grand Truck Railway.I was sixteen years in the Company's employ on the 32nd of April ast, ail that time at the Belœil bridge.I Lave an assistant named Nicholas Griffin, There is a semaphore at the station, On this there are two arms white and red, which may be moved by a lever from below.At times the arms are barging down, sloped, That eignsl is for engices to run slow over the bridge, The arms can be seen on the train as it comes along.When the arms are both raised itisa danger signal, for the train to stop, We also always use a red flag by day and a red light by night besides thege arma.The red lamp is put on top of the post and is always lighted when the bridge is open.The swing bridge moy:s ou apivot.I remain in charge of the bridge until 11.40 at right, when my assistant relieves me.The bridge is always in charge of ons of us, either myselfor my assistant.On a clear night I could see to the south end of the bridge.There is a down grade from St.Hilaire Station to about 450 feet before you come to the bridge.I cannot see from my station if the train stops or not on entering the bridge.It might stop without my knowledge.At % quarter past twelve on the morning of tbe 29:b June my assistant took charge of the bridge.When I left the caution sigoal-green, was out (rom the semaphore, and the arms hanging as just described.1 was uot present when the accident occurred.I arrived at the scene of the disaster at 1.25 on the morning of the 29th, aud was immediately met by my assistant.I have been over the bridge several times, and at a distance of 450 or 500 feet from tbe south aide I can see the signals on the semaphore, They can be seen any night except when there is à fog, when it is dif- cult to see them: at that distance.The green light waa up when I left the bridge ; the red one is put up when the bridge is open, When Iar- rived at the bridge the red light was burning, and the arms were extended.The bridge wes open.It wasa star light morning.1 could see acroas the briage.I eaw the whole train under the draw, and boats both above and below, which were ia the act of passing at the time of the accident.I beard the cries of bu.It being then six o'clock the Jury adjourned until balf-past eight this morning, when they will meet at the Bonaventure Station to view the body of the conductor \u2018Finn, and then adjonra until two p.m., when the investigation will be resumed, THIKD LAY\u2014BECOND OF JOLT.At two o'clock this afternoon, the jury having reassembled ia the Inquest Room in the Court House, the adjourned inquest was resumed.C.J.Brydges, the actiag manager of the Grar d Trurk Company, was present, as was also Mr.Bailey, deputy manager, and Mr.Teylor, Mr.Bigdges\u2019 private secretary, Hon.James Ferrier, likewise Mr.Pominville as legal advicer.Burney, the engine driver, was also present, and a greater number of spectators than on the previous day.The names of the jury having been called, Mr.Daviis sald he appeared agaia to ask the Coroner whether he was willing to let him render professions! assistance to Barney.He would write the questions, or be would put them verbally through the Coroner.This was meant to be in ths interest of public justice.He (Mer.Devlin) was setiefied from conversation with the prisoner that the latter was not capable of conducting bis own defence, and Mr.Devlin could not resign the prisoner's case unless he was particularly excluded.The Conowse said he had carefully weighed and considered the question as to the right and expediency of admitting Counsel learned in tbe law before this inquiry, and had come to the conclusion to maintain his decision of yesterday.Mr.DavLIN then withdrew.TEoM+8 VALLIQUET Was again Sworn.To the Prisonem\u2014I heard the whistle to ap- ly brakes sound twice.The train was then about the middle of the bridge.When I am in my office, I seldom hear the whistles from the bridge ; conscqueatly, more than two whistles migbt be sounded without my baviog heard them all.There was three or four seconds between cach of the two whistles.To Mr.Cusxpiswing,\u2014I said to thé engine- driver that a train hud gone over the bridge twenty-five minutes before.They secmed to nary way.the whole train was over into the water.tor, them to the driver.in a boat about three o'clock, to him.man beings below the bridge, but I could see none.The people were si in the cars, some being in the act of getting out, saw a man standing on the wharf close by the abutment on the North (Belæil) side.I addressed him, and asked Lim who be was.He told me he was \u201cthe driver of tbat train,\u201d pointing to the one in the river.I asked him how he escaped, and he replied he could not tell.He mada some further remark, but it has eseaped my memory I think he expressed thankfulpess at escaping.I was about six or eiglt feet from the driver when 1 gpoke to him.I could not say if he had his bat on, or if he had fallen into the water, Ie was looking on the spot where the cars fell, I at ouce sent for assistance.The first train that came from Point Bt.Obarles brought mechanics and others who were near at band, and the next one, Mr.Brydges, Mr, Bailey, the medical gentlemen and others, Mr.Brydges asked Buraey if he was the driver of the train which bad gone down.Burney replied that be wag, Mr.Brydges asked him how long he was employed on the road, I cannot give you the prisoner's answer.I remember notbing mors of the conversation.It took place about 4 o'clock in the morning in wy kitchen, Burney was sitting near the atove, but I do not know if that was to dry his clothes.The prisoner appeared to be sober when I met him immediately after the accident, A train passed about tbr:> The Coroner bere stated that the following telegram had just been received by Mr.Brydges : St.Hilaire The body of Finn, the Conductor, just found.Send largest sized ooffin you can find.His brothers are bere, and wish the body removed (Signed) Examination resumed.To Mr.Beaudry,\u2014On a train of twelve cars I have often seen one conductor, oue brakesman, one engineer and one fireman.To Mr.McOready,\u2014It la the duty of the eon.ductor to act as brakesman when the cars require to be checked, The fireman also puts the brakes on the engine aud tender, and reverses the engine.There would therefore three brakes men on the train in question.To Mr.Phelan\u2014I do uot keow bow long Bur- Dey waa ia the employ of the Company, To Aldermau Bulmer\u2014The danger si is frequently seen at Beloeil Station.I do not make a practice of looking at the Sempabore every time & train starts.When I heard the whistle, I looked at the semaphore and saw the light.I eannot see the no: and osonot say if ebe train stopped at tbe en- tance, or if they generally do so.Ialwayago into the station after a train passes to make my report.To Mr.Stevenson\u2014I remarked the two last cars of the train when at my Station, Ors was à second class oar, and the others van car.The van oar is ope used for the accommodation of the employes of the Company.We sometimes call it the brake van, on account of there being two powerful brakes on it.I cannot say what the other cars were like.roux told me that he saved himself by jumping À.Roumarsos.quarters of an hour before the accident on its way to Montreal, To Mr.Olendinning\u20141I was at the scene of the accident, about 5 minutes after 1 received notice of it.From the position in which the ruins were, à person could step from them to the wharf, When I got there none of the emigrants were on shore.Some were getting through the windows.You could not etep from ibe tube or abutment to the wreck.It was about a distance uf 15 feet tothe top of the highest car.To Mr.Isaacson\u2014Burney was not doing anything to aid the passengers when ! saw bim atandlog on the wharf.I thought he was bewildered \u2014be

train shall stop at the other of of tbe bridge, If 1 saw a train coming in at cull speed | would know tbat It could not stop on tbe bridgo, and as guardian I would report be driver, There Is no guardian at tbe South side 10 see that the rules are ead of the bridge, obsarved To Mr.MoOready :\u2014When drivers go too fast I report them.This bas occurred but seldom, When they are running slow and all ie right, 1 give them the signal to go abead.To Mr.Btevenson :\u2014The swing bridge is 147 foot wide, but it is about 38 feet betsreen the first pler and the abutment, on which it swings oa the pivot.A person could not get down from the top of the tube of the bridge to the wreck of the cars without risking bis 1ife by jumping.To the Uoroner :\u2014One year over three tbou- The brakesman

the effect that a large part of this jury Were under Grand Trunk influence.And he, Mr, Isaacson, wished to know whether this was to be passed over in silence.Mr, Bzauory said be hoped they would allow any one to write whatever they thought fit, and that the jury would do its duty snd take no notice.The Corowzn said he never took any notice of newspaper remarks whilst he way conducting these

round the curve on the Bt.Hilaire side, before it reached the bridge at about balf « mile dis tant.Iwas then standing on the mason work beside the draw-bridge.I did not hear the train whistle before it reached the bridge.If the train whistled before it had reached the bridge I must have heard it.Idid not see the train on tbe bridge, but I heard it there.I went upoz my ladder for the purpose of exposing the red lantern, and it was then tbat I saw the traln: When I got up I think the train was nearly ox the centre of the bridge.Although I fing the red light the train still came on, aod E tht

forty fest from the engine when it went down over the bridge.I did not se either the driver or the firemsn before the engine fell into the water.These men would have been there without my being \u2018usbled te see them.I saw no person whosoever ia or out of that train.I eaw no lighi upon the engine as it came along before it fell into the gulf below.Had there been a person standing on the last car I could not have seen him, As soon ss the cars had gove down I rum to the station abd apprised Mr.Dillon.I then saw no one either op, ur near, or below the bridge I and Dillon reacted the bridge shortly after wards, When I returned I looked dowa oc the bridge; but L did not go down, I was frightened, and went home; I assisted them all I possibly could afterwards; I heard two whistles from the train on the bridge, and they meant, appls brakes, I think the train fell in in about a half a minute afterwards.I saw Burney in about ten or twelve minutes after the cars bad gone into the

of only 163, upon which the right hon.gentleman might, perhaps, found a speech to-day.Ip the face of thess Ogures surely the hon.and gallant member who had given notice «f so amendment (Captain

\u201cThe grievance of which complaint was sow made was that places for the sale of intoxicatin Jlquors were set up, snd thet the exceptions privilege of keeping those places was granted persons with the most complete disregard of the wania and wishes of the jobabitants of the districts ju which they were set up, It was professed that they were set up for the good of the public and therefore the public had s right to have a voice in the matter.This was not à visionary grievance, nor was {bis movement got up, aa some people supposed, by fools and fannties \u2014 (bear, besr)\u2014and Supday

in 1863 to 4,92,0i 0 tons.In 1849 wo owned of steam shippiog 167,000 tons; in 1863 600,000 tons.In 1849 9,700,000 tons of Britieh shipping with cargoes were entered aud cleared; in 1:63 the awount waa bo less than 15,800,000 toge.But these r.sults, though great, hardly give an ides of the enormous iccresse which bas taken place ia the export of British madufactures sod produce.Ia :849 the declared value of our expoits amounted to £69,000,000; last year it amounted to £146,000,000.Tho intervening period bas been Lhe shipowners\u2019 milleonium, and they have thrived in this extraordinary degree ever since the British Legislature determined that the ships of all nations should enter our ports on the same terms as British ships.But some of our neighbours have adhered to the old doctrine of protection, and have suffered accordingly.France stands painfully stationary.Ia 1849 she owned 680,000 tons of shipping ; in 1862 only 980,000 tons.Last yesr France imported from Englend 4,700,000 pounde of silk, the whole of which Lad been brought from India orChina, Well might Mr.Lindsay, commenting on this anomalous system, say, * The Penineolar and Oriental steamers, which reach Sontbampton every week laden with silk and other produce, of which the people of France are very much in need, sre, under the restrictive system which prevails in that country, compelled to pass Marseilles and bring theïr cargoes to Southampton, where they are conveyed to London by railway, and afterwards transbipped to Havre or Bordeaux, and dfterwards conveyed across the country to where they were needed.\u201d And yeu tig is vin: ruinous policy of which a states- tnan of Thiers\u2019 pret-nsiou is the advocate, and to which the Emperor, from a fear of offending the prejudices of 8 tection of bis people, Is com- pélled to eubmit.With regard to Speio and Portugal, which still cling to old habits, the wonder is not 80 great, and even in the case of the Federal Government, some excuse may be found in tbe fact that tho Federal Executive has ed complainent's uvidence ;
