particulars in regard to the accident:
“We (thedetachment) wore delayed at one of tho

near loosing Sergl. Maj. Williamson. About 2
o'clock in the morning (very dark,) he got out of the
ear to smoke and walk about, but in gelling off the
car he stepped down a precipice abool 180 feet deep.
How he escaped with bis life is a wonder. He was
badly hart, but, strange to sny, no bones broken.—
His head and face were badly cut and disfigured.
Thank God it was no worse.”

WE DON’T UNDERSTAND.
“The irrelevant isues of a Tariff, a Bunk of the
United Stales, and ouch other questions, have been
from lime to time handed over to the tender mercies
of political excitement, and in every instance the re
suit was. and ever will be, inevitable defeat. Such
measures should bo submitted to the intelligence of
the people's representatives, and if wise, will always
ultimately triumph.*’— Extract from the recent Ad
dress of the Democratic State Central Committee.
We are somewhat staggered at the assertion in
the above extract, that the questions of a tariff, a
Bank of the United States, the like, aro "irrele
rant issues.” As it has always appeared to us, they J
have been the landmarks which have divided llio ,
two great parties from the very commencement of
the government, and the advocacy and opposition to
such measures have always shown the principles and
motives which have been entertained by those par
lies,and that they have been commended orcondemn.
cd by the people accordingly. These issues are not
‘irrelevant,’ and, as we have been taught, never have
bem, but issues which involve the dearest rights and
interests of the people. If such issues arc irrelevant,
then wo will no longer have any other guide to control
our political action than trusting to‘the intelligence
of the people's representatives,' when it might turn
out to be 100 late for their own good. Wo would have
very little faith indeed in the ‘intelligence’ of a Con
gross, n majority of whose members were
as such measures nl their hands would bo sure to bo
! considered‘wise,’and would bo sure to ‘ultimately
.riumpb.’ The only safety for the people is to moke
sac)i questions issues, because by no oilier meant can
the people know whether their representative will
not betray their liberties.
We think the citrapl above gtven most have found
its way inudvcilontly’ihlo the Address oflho Demo
cratic Stslc Central Committee, as wo have 100 much
confidence it its able chairman to believe that he en
tertains the opinions the extrocl would seem to im
ply.

Hannfaeinre of Wrought Iron*
Tlio papers at Cleveland, Sandusky and Detroit j
are much occupied with a discussion of the results
arrived at by the introduction of Renton’s now pro
cess of making wrought iron direct from the ore by
the use of mineral coni instead of charcoal. It was
lately tried at Cincioriali, with a quantity of Loko
Superior iron oro, and during Iho first six hours 1,
249 pounds of blooms were made out of 2,426 lbs. of
ore. A portion of the iron was rolled into bars, and
was found, by severe lest, to bo an article remarka
ble lor toughness.* Similar results wore attained with
Otiio and Virginia limestone iron ores. According
UUho Cleveland Herald. Iho now process economises
fuel, as, by measurement, it only lakes one and o half
tons of mineral coal to make a ton of blooms. By
this method the Ohio ores will yield about forty per
cent, of iron, and Clio Lake Superior ore from fifty to
sixty per cent, and iho cost of making a 100 of iron
is considerably reduced.
The value of the invention may be seen from the
' fact, which is slated by the Herald, that the patent.

AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
The late Elkahah Watson, for many years d
resident of Albany, was present as a spectator id
the House of Lords when the independence of th o
American colonies was formally acknowledged by
George the Third. Tho following extract from
Mr.’ Watson's journal affords a vivid picture of
that interesting event:
London, Thursday t December 4, 1793
The great glorious day has arrived when our
unconditional independence will be solemnly re*
cognized by George 111., in the presence of God
and man. Such, at last, are the well earned fruits
of a sanguinary and eventful contest of eight long
long years, in which period one hundred thousand
brave Americans have ccraeritdd on the alter of
their country, with their precious blood, a pn M
which will bless unborn millions,and in its event*
ful effects produce a new era over the entire sur*
face of this benighted world.
At an eaTly hour, in conformity (0 previous ar
rangements, 1 had the honor to be conducted by
the Carl of Ferres, to the very entrance of the
House of Lords. At the small door he whispered
softly Into my ear: »*Gel as near the foot of the
throne as possible; maintain your position; fear
not.* 1 1 did so with all the assurance of a travel
ed Yankee, and found myself exactly in front of
the throne, elbow to elbow with the celebrated
Admiral Lord Howe, who had just returned from
a successful relief of Gibraltar.
The ladies of the nobility occupied the lord 1 *
scat on the woolsack, so called, as an emblem of
the power and wealth of old Ertgland, because it
has been mainly derived from wool: The lords
were standing here and there prortfscttatfsly as |
entered.
ll was a dark and f* ggy day—a proper ftngliefr
hanging day. To add to Ms gloomy effects, Hie
old Saxon windows stand high up, with leaden
bars .to conlain (he diamond cut panes of glass;
the walls also hung with dark tapestry, represent*
ing the defeat of the great Spanish Armada in
15b8. I had the pleasure of recognizing the cele
brated American painters, West and Cob[ey, and
some American ladies in the group; all rebels at
heart; intermixed with many American royalists,
some of whom were my near relatives, with Tong
dejected faces, and rage and dispair depicted in
every lineament of ihetr features. After standing
for two hours in painful suspense, the approach of
Ilhe king was announced by a tremendous roar of
cannon. He entered the small door on the left of
the throne, and immediately seated himself In the
chair of Stale, decorated in his royal robes, in a
graceful, formal and mfjesiic posture; with hit
I right fool resting on a stool. He was evidently
I agitated, and drew slowly from hlspockela scroll
,' containing the humiliating speech. 1 was exactly
j in bis front, six or eight feel distant, with my left
foot braced upon the last step of the throne to sus-
tain my position Iroin ihe prt ssure tn my rear, and
critically watched, v ith the eye of a LavafeY, In
every motion ol his agitat'd cooni«s
nance. Ho began: “My Lords and gentle-
men,” and in direct reference to our independence,
said :
“1 |..sl no limo in giving il*e necessary orders
lo prohibit the further prosecution of offensive waf
upon the continent of North American,
“Adopting, as my inclination will always lead
me lo do, wifh decision and effect, whatever r col
led m bo the sense of my Parliament and my peo
ple, I have pointed all my views and measures in
Europe, as in North America, to an entire and
cordial reconciliation wilt ihe colonies. Finding
it indispensable to tbo attainment pf this object, I
did not hesitate lo go the full length of tho power
vested in me, and the efore In w declare thorn.—
[Here he paused and hesitated fora moment,and
wan in evident agitation. The pill he had lo
| swallow in the next breath was repugnant to his
' digestive organs. In 1775 he repelled onr frornWfl
petition with indignity, but in 1752h0 found him
self prostrate at our feet. Ho recovered himself
by a strong convulsive effort and proceeded than:]
I declare them free and independent Slates. In
Urns admitting their separation from the Cfotrnof
their kingdom, 1 have sacrificed efery Considera
tion of my own to the wishes and opinions of my
people. 1 make it my humble and ardent prayer
to Almighty God that Great Britafn may nof feel
tho evils which might result Horn so grtzff a dts
r membermeut of the empire, and that America may
r bo free from calamities which have formally prov.
ed in the mother Country how essentia! monarchy

gion, language, interests and affection roay,*amd I
( hope will, prota a bond pf permanent union be
tween the two countries.”
It is impossible to describe Ihe Sensations of roj
rebellious mind at the moment when the Ring
hesitated lo pronounce the words free and inde
pendent, and to notice whh what u bad grade ho
he had to swallow the dose; every artery fcas in
full play, and beat high In unison \Vlth my proud
American feelings.* it was impossible not lo re
vert my eyes across the Atlantic and review in ra.
pid succession the miseries nnd wretchedness i
had witnessed in the several stages of the war
prior to my leaving America; the wide spread des
olation resulting from the obstinacy of tins ver j
man turning a deaf ear to our humble appeals lo
his jiiblicc and mercy, as if a god, but now pros
trate in his turn. In his speech ho lolls oa (n ontf
I breath that ho has sacrificed every personal con*
| siduration; in other words, not yet satiated &itfr
innocent blood shed by hli Indian allies; and in
the next hypocritically invoking high Heaven 16'
guard us against calamities, &c.
'Plio great drama i:* now closed. The halt wa«
opened at Lexington, where the British red-coals
were taught lo dance down to Charlestown to the
tune of •• Yankee Doodle.” On this occasion it
fell also to my lot to march from Providence,
Rhode Island, with a company of twenty-five well
disciplined young men, all dressed in scarlet, oh
our way to Lexington, with packs on mr barks;
but they had fled before we could teach the scene
of action.
From the House of Lords I proceeded to Mr.
Copley’s dwelling in Leicester square lodine; and,
through my ardent solicitations, he mounted the
Americag stripes on a large painting In the gallery
the same day—-the first which ever waved in tri
umph In England.
f leaving the House of Lords I Jostled In, side
by side with Weal and Copley, enjoying the rich
political repast of tho day, and noticing with si
lent gratification the anguish and despair of the
.Tories. . ,
In the House of Commons tho ensuing day*
' there was not much bitter debate, but a good deaf
