A snockingaccident occurred last eve

named Murray, incautiously applying a
light to a half keg'of powder, which ho
thought would not explode os it had be-
como moist. Ho was unfortunately
mistaken, and ho and .three other work
men named John Kennedy, Jas. Har

hurt. Others of a party of workmen
who wore employed, there, and who

He then considers the slavory ques

follows: .
Whatever his lordship did not intend
by the remark—arid. I am ready to be
lieve ho did not intend to wound—Iiq
certainly did intend to briiiglothe Min
ister’s notice that England madenodis
tinction between men on account of
their color. And herein his lordship
was lamentably unfortunate, for tho
whole scene showed that not only ho,
but all hi? applaudem, make a marked
distinction between color. Would not
his lordship havo had moro respect for
tho feelings of.any white man, than, to
havo made him the object of special no
tice, and such (i notico to men gathered
from all quartet's of the world ? Would
his lordship’s discourtesy to a white
man havo been applauded as it was, by
'entlemen of refinement and delicacy ?
True, it UitrDr. Delaney’s sensibilities

hnva enkindled his indignation. ‘^Yliftt
ho was likely to have Bald, ‘is it .a boast
of tho nobility of England that Lamad*
mitted to a seat among white mon.”—
His thanksgiving, too, was applauded, a
thing not exactly in keeping .with our
ordinary dealings with white men.—
And when he proclaimed tho indubita
ble fact “that ho was a man," again he
was applauded.
If any .other mon had arisen in' the
assembly, and said the selfsame thing,
hfuvould have been laughed.at, not ap-
pluudod. Again, his lordship pointed
him out as “a negro”—that was tho
word—not as somo of the gazettes • have
it, “a colored person” or “colored gen

if ho had felt a due regal'd for tho doc
