LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 12. WREN the P•ssrnENT of the BOARD of TRADR was asked in the House of Commons what means he possessed of preventing railway disasters, his answer was not particularly satisfactory. The railway department, it was intimated, could advise and prescribe, but not regulate or administer. In France, of course, where everybody and every thing is administered "up to the throat," the whole railway system is most searchingly and ela borately organized under direct Government con trol. And as the preservation of life and property is really among the most natural and proper tune tiona of any government, even the bitterest oppo nents of " over-legislation " need not complain of the results of this interference. A writer in the Bente des Deux Mantles classifies the dangers of rail way travelling as follows :—Deraill. mats ; that is, trains getting off the rails ; collisions between two trains ; sod assaults ou passengers it the journey. With respect to the two first, or locomo tive, accidents, be ia able to show that, thanks to the efficiency of the system of supervision and control, and to the just severity with which any prevent ible casualty is punished, they are of so rare oc currence that the public are entitled to travel with confidence. But with regard to the third (amanita upon passengers during the journey), rare as they happily are, and guarded against by all the preventive measures the Administration has been able to devise, there is still great difficulty in rendering them, as they ought to be, impossible. The polioe of the stations is so regulated that it is far from easy for any known malefactor to take his seat in • train. There are separate carriages for women, and even for men who have articles of value in their charge. All the carriages are lighted at night, and through the tunnels by day. The guards are continually passing along the steps from one carriage to another throughout the journey —a precaution as dangerous to the guards as it is annoying to the passengers. There are imperfect, but not wholly ineffectual means of com munication between the guards. The canton r, along the line are stationed for the purpose of seeing and transmitting signals of distress or alarm. All these precautions are avowedly insufficient, and it has been proposed to furnish each carriage with an apparatus for giving instant alarm to the guards. To this there are several objections. The malefactor would certainly be aware of the apparatus, and would prevent his victim from using it, and it is questionable how far the general safety might be compromised by a nervous or silly passenger being allowed to stop the train at any moment. The problem then remains unsolved. How serious and urgent is the application of some means or other to the object of preserving the lives of pae wagers, let the appalling and almost incredi ble murder committed on the North London Rail way, which has horrified the town, bear witness. We say 'linos; incredible, for how is it possible to realise the fact that this unfortunate gentleman took a first class ticket at Fenchnrch-street Station, to return to his home at Hackney, last Saturday evening, and during the six minutes' run from Bow to Victoria-park Station was beaten to death and thrown out of the carriage by a fellow passenger ? At Hackney a gentleman is stepping into a first class carriage, and he finds the cushions, the floor, sides, and windows covered with blood ; and a hat, a walking•stick, and • leathern bag lying about. Some ladies in the next compart ment of the carriage complain to the guard that blood has been spurted through the window on to their dresses on the way from Bow Station. The driver and fireman of ani engine passing near Hackney-wick Station see something lying on the line, which is in fact the body of the murdered passenger. It is not improbable that the victim was known to the murderer as the chief clerk of • bank, and there fore supposed to carry with him large sums of money. The poor gentleman bad on this occasion been dining with a niece at Peckham, and from Peck ham had gone by omnibus into the City and thence by the North London Railway. Whether the mur derer had actually accompanied Mr. Ilit:ccs from the omnibus to the railway carriage is matter for conjecture ; but it is clear that he had marked his victim, and it is certain that he assaulted, mur dered, and threw him out of the carriage in the space of five minutes between one station and another, and then got out at or near the nest station, and made off. Will our readers believe that it is possible, in July, 1864, for a quiet gentleman to return home front Peckham to Bow by omnibus and railway, and to be murdered in • first class carriage between one station and another ? If a passenger were murdered between London and Peterborough, on his way to Scotland by the night mail, the thing would be hardly leis horrible, but it would be less monstrously incredible. Railway travelling through London on a summer THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1864. - evening is, it seems, to be attends& with all t „ e , excitement of a journey by coach woes wish) or Bertha-heath, or through M Fo eighty years ago. Only on the ' 'hw was usual to escape with your life ,:subu railway where the stations are freiffitt; and t journey is so short, there is not time for so much courtesy all " Your money or your life." Railway assaults are like railway accidents of the minor sort, swift, sudden, laid complete, and don't stop short of instant murder. Brit murder is only one of the felicities of our advanced railway civiliza tion. Rape is another. On Wednesday last a young wommi took her seat in • second-class carriage on_the South Western Railway between ' Surbiton and Woking, and found herself in com pany with two other passengers. One of these began to talk to her rudely and offensively, and , when the third passenger got out at the next &teflon the scoundrel actually laid hands on the poor girl. She only saved herself from • criminal assault by throwing open the door and taking I refuge on the step, where she was seen by a boy in the next carriage, and there held, fainting, for five miles by a passenger. Luckily some labourers in the fields caught sight of the poor clinging creature ; the train was stopped, and she wudrawn swooning into the carriage. The scoundrel who assaulted her was, of course, taken into custody, but he has slipped through the hands of the magistrates of one county from having oom mitted the assault in another. Here, then, are two instances in one week of railway "accidents" far more terrible and, it would seem, far less pre ventible than that simple catastrophe at Egham. Is there no way of insuring a constant patrol of railway guards along a gangway from one end of the train to the other, and a continual supervision of all the carriages, so as at least to prevent the necessity of travelling from Bow to Hackney armed to the teeth and sleepless as a sentinel Cbe WINDSOR CASTLE, JULY 11.

His royal highness was oded by Captain Grey, and was received on his arrival by Earl Grosvenor, Lord Elcho, and Captain St. John Mildmay, the secretary to the associa tion. On alighting from his horse the Prince proceeded at once to the running-deer target, where his royal highness took a few shots, and made the only • bull's-eye" that was signalled on that occasion. Lord Echo Earl Grosvenor, and the Master of Lovat also made very good shots ; but it was remarked of the last-named, that iu the last stalkiegseason he bad not let the living deer off quite so easily as he did their irou representative iu the presence of royalty. After the shooting his royal highness inspected the tents and visited the refreshment pavilion, the front portion of which was crowded with guardsmen, all of whom, with instinctive discipline, remained motionless whilst his royal highness passed through. The volunteers and the public crowded round the entrance but certain individuals in bine tunics and having indescribable helmets, with each a letter and a number on his collar, politely prevented any in convenient pressure. His royal highness had next a ride on the tramway, where an amusing incident took place. When the Prince had taken his seat, Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and the other members of the council, hesitated to take places until they had received the royal invitation • but not so an exceedingly innocent and florid4ooing countryman, accompanied by a young girl as florid as himself, who without the slightest ceremony jumped into the carriage, dragging his fair charge after him, and riding down the line with the greatest coolness and nonchalance, and what was worse, with his back to royalty all the time. We did not observe this adventurous couple on the re turn journey, and we drew our own conclusions. I The may lady present was Lady Elcbo, who, by invitation, took her seat beside the Prince of Wales. The other passengers, exclusive of the heir apparent and the country couple, were Lords Grosvenor and Elebo Colonel Kennedy, and the veteran ri fl eman, Mr. iota. Having alighted from the carriage his royal highness mounted his horse and graciously saluted the crowd of officers, military and volunteer, as he rode away. The programme, which commences to-day, ex tends to Monday, the 25th, when the principal prizes will be distributed on Wimbledon Common, and when athletic sports and games will wind up the annual meeting. To-day the shooting will commence at 1 o'clock with All Comers' County Matches ; but on each succeeding day it will begin at a quarter past 9a, m. On Sunday next the Arch bishop of York is expected to preach in the camp, and on the following Saturday the metropolitan and other corps will be reviewed by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. A day will also be fixed for the visit of the Lords and Commons, as was the case last year, but it is not yet known whether the Lord Chancellor will take any part in the shooting for his own prize. As far as we could observe yesterday the arrangements are excellent, and do great credit to Captain St. John Mild:nay, the secretary to the association. As we have before said, the commissariat is perfect, the volunteers are made as comfortable as soldiers ought to expect in a camp, and a railway has been provided to move them on easy terms from one part of the ground to another. We wish, however, for the sake of the public, that Captain Mildmay would use his influence amongst the fly and omnibus drivers who ply between the railway station and the ground, and who yesterday showed strong symptoms of an intention to reap an extortionate harvest from the shooting match. We are authorised to state that no applications from volunteer corps for nermisaion to attend the review at Wimbledon on eaturday, the 23rd inst, will be entertained unless received at the War-office on oe before Wednesday, the 20th inst. . 1.41681\ INTELLI GENT.

DROUYN DE LHUYS. -..-- The following has been published at Frankfort as a summary of the circular despatch upon the Danish question addressed by 111, Drouyn de Lhnys ' on the 28th ult., to the diplomatic agents of the French Emperor : , After the statement that "the plenipotentiaries who met at London to re-establish peace between Germany and Denmark separated after having confirmed the inutility of their efforts, and the belligerent parties immediately re sumed arms." M. Drouyn de Lhuys 'sensibly regrets that the labium of the erinfereere have not had a more satis factory result," sad he avails himself of this very opportune occasion to recall "that it has not been the fault of France that the conclustoo was not different." The despatch thee continues : "We have not shut our eyes to the difficulties which this negotiation pre sented. Thus, before its commenoement, we bad used every effort to obtain the meeting of the conference upon the fittest conditions to facilitate its task. We had especially desired that a real armistice should be previously vincluded for the entire duration of the deliberations, and teat the basis of discussion should be determined in advance. The Parties have been unable to agree upon them two points, ad although this first difficulty inspired us at the outset with doubts as to the issue of the conference, we have moue the leas sincerely wooded this effort at conciliation. The plenipotentiary of the Emperor was, consequently, desired to PlPPift or to suggest every proposition which appeared likely to bring about an agresinrot The point of departure of the discussion wen eatura_lly first of all to be sought in the arrangements of 1852. We asked ourselves, therefore—first. whether, if remodelled so as to attain their object better, they might not be made the banns of an equitable arras mint ; and it was in this genes that the representative of France expressed himself at the opening of the negotiations. When, after recognition of the impossibility of keeping the discussion upon this ground, the English government proposed an arrangement giving the southern portion of Sleswig to Holstein as well as 'anaphors, we did not hesitate to agree to this combi nation. It had in our eyes the advantage of taking into account the national sentiment of the German population of Sleswig, and of leaving to Holstein, increased by this annexation, the right of deciding upon its owe fate. While lendiog our support to the English plenipotentiaries we acted in perfect coutormity with the principles of our pub. lie law, and we should have been rejoiced at an arrangement which appeared to us acceptable to both par ties. The German powers did not consider themselves able to adhere to it. They claimed for the frontier a line of demar cation which would bays assured to Germany the possession of the mixed district., while Denmark persisted is not adding this fresh sacrifioe to three she bad consented to make le abandoning Southern Slessi; as well as Holstein teed Diumberg. When all the other combinations pot forward were thrown aside, we suggested a last plan. We recommended that the populations forming the subject of dispute should be called upon to express their sentiments, sad thus famish the conference with the necessary data for Marie. the line of demarcation is the most equiteble man ner. W. have not bees able to prevent the rupture of negotiations, sod the difference is again left to be decided by arms." The despatch concludes as follows : " Opinion has shown itself sensibly moved by the resump tion of hostilities, and looks with disquiet to the conse quences so unequal a contest may seta. For our parts we shall be unable to disregard the henries of events so directly affecting the interests of all the maritime powers in the north, sad even those of the equihbriam of this portion of Europe. We entertain the sincerest wishes that the dangers may be avoided which these events might bring about ; and, guided by the memo seotimente which have hitherto proved Mende of our conduct, and "desiring to maintain the im partial attitude we have taken up, we are willing to bops that so complication will arise of so grave • nature as to neceseitate our embracing a different policy."

Qusade, 0110 of the members of the new Danish ministry which is un derstood to accede to office as • peace ministry, i said, in the last sitting of the London conference, that Denmark had shrunk from "no sacrifice con sisteut with her existence" to bring about peace. It takes that phrase to be the programme of the new cabinet, and believes that Denmark is at this moment resigned to save her existence at the price of a "cruel sacrifice." The views of the Scandi navian party, which would have annexed Denmark to Sweden and Norway are to be repudiated. The new ministry prefers a loss of territory and the maintenance of the political and national exis tence of the Danish kingdom. The Bourse was better, on the strength of the peace rumour,. Rente rose sc. for cash and 15c. for account, closing at 66fr. sc. and 66fr. 30c., and Mobilier rose 11fr. 25c. Railways were firmer than they have been for some time.

Maus, Russ Smolt, Deputies to the Corps bogie lain; E. Camrros, ex-Repressatative ; flimsy MARTIN. The Vigit of Cherbourg says that the Confede rate vessel General Lee is under orders from Mr. Jefferson Davis's government to be in the Channel by July 15 at latest. Yesterday afternoon a respectable-looking man, about 50 ' years of age, committed suicide by throwing himself from the summit of the column of the Place Vendome. In his descent be fell upon one of the four eagles surrounding the monument, and from thence rebounded upon the railings,where he became impaled. No papers being found upon the unfortunate deceased to prove his identity, his body was conveyed to the Morgue. Five minutes after the above tragical event the military band, which during the summer months plays at the foot of the column, marched up and went through their usual entertainment before an audience igno- rant for the most part of what had occurred. Another account says that the person who com mitted suicide was a rich shopkeeper in the neigh bourhood of the Chaussde d'Autin,who after having been one of a party to ascend the column, sod denly turned round, on coming out, and said be wanted to go up again. The keeper would not allow him to do so, but a few minutes afterwards be slipped in with a new party and passed unob served. On reaching the balcony which surrounds the statue, he surveyed for a few seconds the vast panorama before him, and then suddenly exclaimed, " Shall I do it 1 yes"-end before any body could stop him he was over the rails, and fell down from the giddy height, breaking one of the eagles in his fall. By way of relief from diplomatic questions Paris is just now occupied with "La question Blondin." Nobody knows exactly who is the person now dancing on the tight rope at the Hippodrome under that name. He was success fully introduced here as the real original Blondin who crossed the falls of Niagara, but it is certain that he is not that man. A telegram has come to Paris, affirming that the real Blondin is at this moment at Vienna, but M. Aruault, the director of the Hippodrome, denies that he is the true one, without, however, venturing to repeat the assertion of his bills that Blondin is at the Hippodrome. Ad vices from Odessa mention that the Russian government is disposed to accord additional facilities for the exportation of grain in coosequence of the peat rpm. titles in store in that place, and also by reason of the fine appearaoce of the worm The immolate from Italy continue to be highly satisfactory, and the same may be mid of the Dumbian Principalities.
