AMONG the most formidable of all railway accidents, because apparently the least preventible, is what our neighbours call deraitlement—that is, the train moving off the rails. When this happens on the top of • steep embankment, the result is one of those catastrophes which are so vividly represented by nightmare—the engine springing into the air like some monstrous creature struck to the heart, and hurrying headlong an enormous weight of carriages filled with a multitude of human beings down • precipice. Few travellers have passed over one of those viaducts, which are the masterpieces of engineering skill, without imagining the terror and confusion of such a fall. If the accident takes place in • cutting, the con sequences are less frightful to contemplate, and the bulk of the passengers are perhaps let off with a severe shaking, some serious bruises, and some broken limbs. But no bare enumeration of wounds or bruises can furnish a fair estimate of the in juries which weak or timid persons suffer by these shocks to the nervous system. It is only when • jury of men of business see before them what was the other day an active professional man or a prosperous tradesman incapacitated for all re sponsibility or employment, struck with a lingering paralysis, or labouring under a low and wasting malady, that a tolerably just impression of the wide-spread or lasting damage done by • " shaking "of this kind is obtained. But are acci dents of this class leas preventible, leas sub ject to control, than those which are caused by hazardous arrangements in the locomotive and traffic departments (due to the reckless demands of the public quite as much as to unscrupulous avidity on the part of companies), or by the carelessness or inefficiency of the servants employed along the line and at the stations ? When a train runs off the rails the fault is to be found either in the condition of the permanent way, or in the neglect by the engine driver of the most obvious precautions in approaching and turning sharp curves. A faulty condition of the permanent way is not always easy of detection by ordinary observers, if it is confined to a single small section of a loosened rail. But it can hardly escape the most ordinary attention from • practised eye ; and if there is one part of railway administration more than another over which the Board of Trade is supposed to exercise constantly and systematically a more than nominal supervision, it is the con dition of the permanent way. Indeed, though a rail may become loosened by the passage of a single heavy train (and that is one of the rail way accidents which are as clearly beyond con trol as the snapping of • leather rein), the general condition of the permanent way is sup posed to be, and ought to be, as well and accu rately known to every responsible authority on the line, from the Board-room to the plate layers, as the state of the old Northern road should have been to the drivers of the old York and Edin burgh mails. Excepting the contingency of a sudden loosening of some small portion of a rail, there is really no excuse for accidents which may be ascribed to the faulty condition of the permanent way. The other cause of accidents of this class, the carelessness of drivers in approaching curves, is of course as pre ventible as strict discipline and severe penal ties can make it. Accidents caused by wilful mischief are happily too exceptional to be classed among the dangers of railway travelling. The recent accident on the Great Eastern line near Bradfield must be attributed to some defect in the condition of the permanent way, or to neglect of re gulations on the part of the engine driver ; it CM hardly be ►ttributable to any cause beyond con trol. On the other hand, the accident to the ex press train on Saturday last near Newcastle, on the North Eastern line, appears to be one of those which may be compared to the snapping of a coachman's reins when his team is at full speed " springing " a hill ; the crank shaft of the engine broke, a coupling chain snapped, and three' carriages ran off the rails. The train, however, was a very heavy one, and was behind time, and it was goir.g down a considerable incline at the rate of about forty miles an hour when this acci dent occurred. Whether this rate of speed was excessive may be questionable ; but it is certain that twice as many accidents occur from making up for lost time as from want of punc tuality in arrivals and departures, or from a too frequent and rapid succession of trains. On the whole, it is curious to note that there is scarcely an accident within the experience of railway pas sengers which has not its analogue in the casualties familiar to travellers by coach. Even the heartrending accident to the emigrant train on the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, on the 29th of Jone, in which some hundred and fifty lives were sacrificed, is no exception to this remark. A stage coachman who had deliberately driven at a turnpike gate or over the parapet of a bridge would certainly have been held responsible for the lives of his passengers. Recklessness such as that of an engine-driver who wilfully and ad visedly drives a long and crowded train over an open swing•bridge into a river, regardless of danger signals, and of all standing orders and precautions, is, we believe, unexampled, and takes the cata strophe out of all categories of calculable &Agents. Nothing but a sudden fit of desperale madness ail. account for the conduct of the man who himself, by some malignant irony of fate, miraculously °soaped unhurt from the yawning ruin in which a multitude of his fellow-creatures were swallowed up. All the circumstances of this vast calamity surround it with grief and misery unparalleled. It was a train of emi grants from many nations, speaking many tongues; Poles, Bohemians, Swedes, Germans, who had but just landed in that new world of hope and promise after enduring all the dangers and discom forts of the weary ocean voyage. Of 565 passengers on board the Necker, about 538 came on by the Grand Trunk line, and of these 538 not less than 154, men, women, and children, were doomed to drowning in the Richelieu River, or to be cast in hideous confusion, bruised and crushed, amidst a heap of broken railway waggons and piled lumber, on the river's bank. The cries of the orphan children for their lost parents (one infant was found cling ing to its dead mother's breast), the speechless agony of the widowed, the forlorn bewilderment of sundered families, standing by the wreck of all the peat and of all the future; who shall picture this scene of desolation 9 Our railway accidents on this side of the Atlantic sink into insignificance when we think of this little future world of Euro pean industry and civilization—a new community, a population in itself—crossing the ocean in safety, to be drowned in a river by the reckless driver of a railway train.

I'he royal cottage has the advantage of having attached specious pleasure garages laid out in the Italian s tyle with consummate tute. Owing to the flumes of the weather, and the care with which the pounds are kept, Dubin could have been more desired for an al fresco party.

EXPRESS FROM PABEi. (nom ova owir mrr.) PARIS, TUESDAY EMING. The France says it is a mistake to attribute to the King of the Belgians' visit to Vichy any "direct" connexion with the political questions of the day. It would have it believed that the state of King Leopold's health is the " principal " reason for his drinking the same mineral waters as the Emperor at the same time. Bat then it says, very sententiously, that it is impossible for two such wise monarchs as Napoleon and Leopold to live in common for several days together without ex changing ideas; and as they are both devoted to a "pacific policy," it is probable that they will seek means to consolidate the peace of the world, both for the present and the future. There is not much to be made of this revelation. A paper states that the King of Wurtemburg is shortly expected at Vichy. King Leopold was to pass through Paris by a special train at a quarter past 6 this evening. "Some journals," says the Constitutionnei, "have endeavoured to make it be believed that the title of Duke de Montmorency had been granted to Count Adalbert de Talley rand Perigord with a view to a projected marriage between him and the Prin cess Anna Murat. Those journals have been ill informed. No such marriage has ever been in con templation ; and the Emperor, in making use of his prerogative to grant a title which had been re quested from him, had not to take into considera tion a project which never existed." The latest matrimonial project regarding the Princess in question is said to be that of uniting her to the King of the Belgians' son, the Duke of Flanders. The Bourse was again weak, and political move ments in Italy, though very categorically denied by the Italian journals, continue to be spoken of. A fall of in Consols, and unsatisfactory rumours touching the monetary situation, checked operations for the rise. After some fluctuations the Rente closed at the lowest prices of the day 66fr. lbc., and 643 fr. 20c., with a fall of 10c. and loc. 3lobilier fell 12fr. 50c. The evening papers say that a heavy cannonade, which lasted for three hours, was heard yesterday in the neighbourhood of Fibcainp, and the surmise is that the promised naval fight between Federal and Confederates must have come otf. Madame Emile de Girardin has just lost her mother, the Countess de Tiefenbach, who was the widow of Prince Frederick of Nassau, and the sister of Field Marshal Ritter Vallemary, master of the horse at the court of Vienna. M. Betimes "Life of Jesus," which had been seized at Munich, has been restored to circulation by a decree of the Appeal Court of the province of Upper Bavaria. The Jesuits' chapel, in the Rue de &vies, was the day before yesterday the scene of a fatal acci dent. Some workmen were engaged in removing a ladder which they bad been using in the repair of the building, but finding it heavier than they ez. expected, they let it slip from their bold. and iu falling it struck the head of the Countess de Polig nac, who was attending mass. The bluw was so violent that the lady died shortly after in the recep tion room of the establishment, to which she was conveyed. The deceased was 77 years of age. An unmarried daughter of Sedaine, the ,author of "Le Philosophe sans le Savoir," " Richard Coeur de Lion," "La Gageure Im- Pnivne " and a number of other well-know n pieces, has just died at Tours, aged 97. She retained her faculties to the last. Sedaine was originally a working mason, but by his taleut and exertions obtained the position of secretary of the Academy of Architecture. He then applied himself to literature, and was ultimately elected a member of the Preach Academy. He died in 1797. A. melancholy accident occurred the day before yesterday in the Rue Chatillon, near the Barrime du Combat. During the thunderstorm which burst over Paris some childrem took shelter from the hail and rain against a wall which enclosed a piece of vacant ground. The wall, behind which a quantity of stones and materials bad been piled up, suddenly gave way and buried five of the children beneath the ruins. Three were dead when got out, and the two others, though still alive, were dangerously injured. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WIDIIIIIII4T, inT 20. $ A.X 11. 2.1 W. 6ma 1.1.

TUE ciATELBB.INGB IN CAMP. trilbies OVIICIAL 0011122IPO3DINT. At one time last night there were three distinct assemblages, each of which seemed as large as those of any preceding evening. There was the camp-fire proper ; there was a large meeting of the London Scottish and their friends, who sang national songs, performed national dances, played national tune', and dispensed punch round a tent temporarily occupied by Lord and Lady Nacho ; and there was the large convivial party improvised by the City of London Brigade to celebrate the Queen's prize having bean won by a member of their corps. The novelty of the two last-named meetings, the pro minence of the coloured Chinese and plain ships' lanthorns, which were festooned from flag-staffs to denote their wheceabouts • and the animated strains of their two militar y bands soon proved superior to the attractions of the fire. The hollow containing it continued, however, to be moderately well filled, until an announcement was made that the meeting would be transferred to the other part of the camp for that evening, and that the fire would be relit with the usual honours on Thursday (to-morrow) evening. The visitors then divided themselves between the Scottish and City tents, the Highland fling dancing at the former giving no small amusement to the crowd, which included, as heretofore, clergymen, peers, and fashionable ladies in its ranks. We regretted to hear that the wild cries and shrieks of the performers, the wield energy wherewith they tossed their heads and clapped their hands, as kilts and plaids fluttered in the dizoly. li ghtea spa, suggested to an ill-informed and uninitiated Southron in our rear, "the savage war dances of the ancient Britons before even C 8311825 camp had been pitched upon Wimbledon-common." It should be mentioned that one Highland gentleman favoured us with a solo dance of marked excellence, wherein, like Mr. Fezziwig in the "Christmas Carol," "he cut! actually cut, so deftly that he seemed to wink with his legs," and that Lord Elcho and his friends entered into and participated both in the dancing and the shrieks, with as much zest as if "owl-shooting " were not going on within ear-shot, awl as if the cares of coun cil were unknown. To-night the Moray Minstrels give their second amateur concert in the circular tent, to which it has been determined, wisely or unwisely, to exact an admission fee of half a crown. POOR RELIEF IN LONDON. The following is a copy of a bill to make pro vision for distributing the charge of relief of certain dames of poor pennons over the whole of the metropolis, brought in the House of Commons by 11r. Valiers and Ma. Gilpin on ►he part of the government : " Whereas it is expedient that provision should be made for distributing the charge of the relief of certain poor persons in the metropolis in a more equitable manner than is now lawful ; be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majelty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, end Commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same : " 1.

' DISCOVERY OF THE MURDERER. • A peat feeling of relief will be experienced this musing when it is announced that a clue has at last been found to the murderer of the late Mr. Brigp. The polies yesterday went to the hones of a cabman at Bow, where for some months past a German tailor, named Francis Muller, ham lodged. This mac, it now trasepinis, left Leedom • few days ago for the potpies of ptomain to New York. The discovery was first made by • little girl, the d►ughter of the cabman referred to. After he left four days ago she found in the room he had occupied a small ard•baard box, arch as is used by jewellers, and upon her showing it to her father, he remembered the name of the jeweller with whom the chain of the late Mr. Brine had been exchanged. The cabman at ones communicated with the police authorities, and the box was by them taken to Mr. Death's shop, that person's name and address being on the inside. Mr. Death at once identified it as one of his boxes, and such • one u he should have used wherein to places chain similar to that exchanged for the one supposed to have been taken from the late Mr. Briggs, and which had been identified as his property. That slight clue having been obtained, of course the next step was to connect Muller with the man who exchanged the chain, and Mr. Death, in company with the cabman and the police, went to the house at Bow, and upon geeing a photograph Muller had given to the child, at once recognised the features as those of the person who changed the chain on Monday. The next step was, of course, to ascertain whether the bat which had been left in the carriage oo the railway on the night of the murder could in any way be connected with Muller. The cabman was therefore taken up to Scotland-yard, and upon the hat being shown to him, he at once knew it as one he had purchased for Muller about four mouths ago. Inspector Tanner thereupon obtained a warrant for the spore lierudon of Francis Muller. The next step was to inquire u to his whereabouts ; and u he had on leaving his lodgings stated his intention of going abroad, close inquiry was set on foot as to any person bemire a similar resemblance having left England. Success attended the inquiries, and • person fully identified as Muller was ascertained to have left Lon don four days ago in a ship bound direct for New York, which usually avenges 19 days in the journey, and which, having left the Downs many hours before the inquiries were set afoot, must be clear away ere this reaches the public eye. Government remoras were at once asked for and granted. Sir George Grey gave every facility, and an Admiralty 'roves' steamer from Liverpool has some hours linos taken Inspector Tenser and fiergeantClarke after the murderer, or probably to await his arrival, as the steamer will reach America at least four days before the sailing vessel ia which Muller has gone. Mr. Death (the jeweller) and the cabman, whose name our reporter did not ascertain, accompany the police officers in the steamer for the purpose of identifying Muller. The history of Muller, as far as e•a at prowled be gleaned, shows that he came to this country about eighteen months ago, and followed his occupation as a tailor, and it was not anfrequently noticed that he had in his possemice a very handsome gold watch and massive chain, by no mean/ according with his position or the money at his command. Whether he was in the habit of drinking, or how the ch. cwstance arose, Muller would never divulge. but some months age he got into a fracas with some weenie, or woman, and lost hie watch and chain. He refused to give any description of it, to offer any reward, or maks any in (purism, but has continuously complained, and most bit terry, of the loss he had sustained. Siuoe the murder he has, as has bees sow ascertained, shown on several occa sions • very handsome watch, and said he had saved up money enough to bay it, and was quite contented at having been able to get one. The chain which Muller obtained from Mr. Death he pledged on Tuesday at ► pawnbroker's in the City, and sold the ticket no the day following to another tailor, a friend of his, a German. This man, upon being questioned by Inspector Thomson, admitted that he had read about the murder, but had not said anything to any one about the chain. It hen riot, however, been comidered that.there was sufficient evidence to justify the police in detaining him for ally complicity in the murder. He will, however, remain tinder surveillance sou to be forthcoming at the trial upon being brought back to this country. The servants of the railway speak coutidently u to their being able to identify the mu supposed to have got into the carriage with Mr. Briggs, and it is understood that the photograph of Muller will be shown to them is the course of • day or so, to add that other link to the chain of cir cumstantial evidence already obtained. A second account stales that the vessel in which Mallet sailed for New York was the Victoria—the point of depar ture being the London Docks. ►JOTBIR ACCOUNT. On Monday morning • cabman, Ensued Jonathan Matthews, was taken to the Harrow-raid station, where he made the following communication : Matthews mid—l live at No. 68, Earl•street, Lissom. grove, mid am • cabman.

Seven or eight months ago be coin. maned to keep company with my sister, and as Der suitor he was in the habit of coming to my house. I remember one Seaday in October or November lad be came to my house and mid to me, "You hare got a nice hat ; where did yea get it from!" I told him I had bought it from • man named Walker, a hatter in Crawford.street Muller said, " Well, I should like v. have use like it." I mid, " Well, try this on." And he did so, but found it too tight for hie head. I then mid, " I know your size now, and I will get me for you." I did so, end ea the following Sunday he came and took it away. Sometime afterwards he came to my hones egad, when I said, " How well that bat wears. I have bed three hate since thee." I laid bold of the hat, and adiced en the inside brim • peculiar thumb mark, ceased by the hat being put on and taken off by the band at one perticts ler epee. The bat produced (the one toned in the railway carriage) is the same, mill could swear to it Lad lion- 1 day week Muller visited my house, and saw my wife. After paying her the mod compliments, he took a bet out of his pocket, cod pulled out of it a gold chain, which he mid he bad paid 31. 10s. for that morning ; he theft fixed the chain on a watch, end pve the box to my child to play with. (The box was produced and identified by Mr. Death, who was premed, as the one which he had placed the chain in.) Moller then exhibited • ring which he had on his finger, &ad which was simile, to the one described by Mr. Dedd Muller then berm to complaiii, saying he had been very notational*: he had been down to the City, and • au t beta% named near his foot, he had sprained his mole. He then said "I am going to Canada ; bemire you me Jonathan," meaning me, "and tell him not to go out to-monow morning until I came, for I particularly want to me him." For two or Wee mornings I waited for him, but he never came, and I have Yesterday I communicated the above facts to Inspector Steer, of the 1) division, and I banded over to hint the box prtrided. The other evidence adduced went to !how that Inspector Steer gave information of the above at Scotlaniliard, and the Commissioners of Police immediately gave instructions to Superintendent Tidily and Inspector Steer to thoroughly iavestigate the matter. These two officials at ones west to No. 16, Perk•terraos, Old Ford, Bow, a home kept by a man named Blytb, who said he wee in bed on the night of the day the murder was committed when Muller came home. The office. next interrogated a ledger in the house named Goodwin, a German, who said that on the night mentioned Muller came home about 11 o'clock, and appeared very much emehmed, which ha (Muller) accounted for by saying he had met with a severe injury in lie City, and bad sprained his aside. The lodger produced a pawn ticket which be said be had bought of I( viler. The ticket related to the gold chain Muller had remised from Mr. Death, and which he had pledged at a pawashop in Bow.
