All the sirens leading to the only intim of the railways are continually ground up by vehicles, sad are in dirty state such as Rome alone could and an example of.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 111011 001 OWN 001111PONDENT.) PARIS. WIDNISDAY Emma. The Patrie gives a piece of news of the highest importance, and one upon which, should it be con firmed, the government must be frankly coogra trusted. The odious law of "public safety," passed for seven years, expires on March 31, 1865. The Petrie is informed that it will not be renewed. No consolidation of the better evidence of the Empire could be given than the practical admission that it does not now require " exceptional powers," Fur ther steps towards the " crowning of the edifice " may now fairly be expected. The telegraphic congress was opened to-day at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The heads of foreign legations will, we are told, settle in the first place "the general bags of the application of the principle" of a uniform tariff for telegraphic com munication ; and afterwards special delegates will discuss questions of detail. I cannot but defer to the expressed wish of the France that all foreign" as well as French jour nals shouli correct the mistaken assertion that the patronising expression, " the utmost latituk will .be allowed to the press in reviewing the ' History of Cresar "—the bad taste of which has been universally reprobated in Paris, appeared in M. de la Oneronniere's paper. The Figaro wrongly attributed the phrase to the France, and the whole Paris press adopted the error. It is perfectly certain, notwithstanding the re iterated denials of the Moniker, that bad news has arrived from Mexico which the government is keeping back. It is not necessary to believe all the exaggerated accounts via New York, but private letters abundantly confirm the fact that provoking reverse. have been sustained, and that the French army, which the speech said was "coming home," has yet plenty of work cut out for it. The Temps observes that the worst feature in the news is the defection of the auxiliaries, showing that Maxi milian is not likely to be able to do without the French for some time. A journal of the south of France, the Gazette du Midi, states positively that Marshal Bazaine, so far from thinking of with drawing the army, has written urgent despatches calling for the completion of the regiments under his command. The Bourse was a good deal firmer, but the amount of businees done was not large. Rents rose 50. for cash and 25c. for account, closing at 67fr. 55c. and 67fr. 760. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. Mexican was rather better. COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN IL4ILWAY. DONCASTER, FIDNISDAY. This morning, shortly before 2 O'clock, a most , alarming collision occurred upon the Great Northern Rail- , way, about midway between this town and Remington, the drat station to the south. An ene-driver in the employ of the company has been killed and 16 persona more or less injured, bet no limbs are broken. It appears that an engine had been with several goods trucks to • point be- I yard Retford, and shortly after midnight it Left Raiford to return to Doncaster, to run into the locomotive sidings there until main wanted. The driver, a man named Robert • Seddon. re r at Donesetee, proceeded in safety as far as , that portion of the has where the Osurebortnigh Extension • will leave the main line, when he ascerlaioed that something ' was out of gear is his engine and pulled up. Knowing . that the Scotch express down train starting from London at 9 p.m., and timed to pass Doncaster without stopping at L 27, was dna, it then being beyond that time, he directed his fireman to go up the hoe and warn the driver of the ex press that he must pull up. Sadie* then wee; under neath his engine, and from the fact that he was afterwards found with a screw-key, hammer, and lamp close to him ' it is 'opposed that he had ascertained something was wrong, and bad cone under to repair it, in the hope that his fireman would be able to stop the approaching train. If this was his calculation be was in error, for before the stoker had proceeded 40 yards on his way the mail trein came in sight, and in another minute, at a speed of 20 miles • par hoer, dashed into the stationary engine and knocked it all to pieces, killing the driver on the spot. The collision threw both engines sad two carriages off the litre, and the engines were in such a position that both lines were blocked. A messenger was despatched to Doncaster, and as men as the intelligence of the sad accident was received Mr. Robert Stone and Mr. Rages Sykes, the company's surgeons there, were summoned, and a train was prepared aiiapatched to bring down the wounded passengers to Domeier, where it was thought the best attention could be gives to them. After a delay of shout an hour all the were got out of the carriages, and it was then cad that 16 passengers had been very seriously injured, and many others were suffering from the effects of the violent shook they had received. At Doncaster the wounded pamengen were attended to, and the rooms on both aides of the platform were converted into temporary hospitals, where the surgeons as well es the officers of the company paid the sufferers every presible attention. The driver and fireman of the mail Min had an extraordi nary escape of their lives, but beyond the shook they experienced no injury, and no doubt many of the passengers owe the preservation of their lives to the promptitude of the men in charge of the telegraph departments. The engine left Retford only eleven minutes before the mail train, and its non-arrival at Doecester canoed the man in charge of the signals at the corner of the car about a mile from the station to announce to the night signalman at Ramingtoa that the engine had the arrived. m e wed ° t ea l s r ft e r 'R:stigol station f reached is ti ew me nlinute a e ' behind itli It• pointed time the danger sign al was shown, and the dri ves shut off steam and proceeded from that point to the scene of the Milks at about 20 miles per hour. Rad the train, which was unusually heavy, both as regards passengers and luggage, been running at the usual speed of 45 miles per hour the oomequenose would have been much more fatal. The piessegere proceeded from Doncaster at 5 o'clock, with the exception of six, who were considered by the sur. pone to be too much hurt to proceed with safety. Subse quently two of these—Mr. Brown, of Rrentford, and Mr Henry Roe, of Newcastle, were removed ; the former to the Angel Rotel, and the latter to the Elephant Inn. The other passenger were enabled to resume their journey in the course of the day. ROYAL GIINER/1.

THE SHOCKING BOAT ACCIDENT AT EMIL • -4,-- Further partieulars of the shocking accident, berefly described in yesterday's Express, are new published. It seems that on Tuesday daemon, a little before 5 o'clock, two long boata belonging to the training ship Woreseter, which lies off &nth, went sailing up the river manned by twenty-two sedate each, Cashman, the boatswain, sad a man earned Locke having charge of the cos, and Cooke, boatswain's mats, of the other. It appears that when about to reach the southern outfall, the works of which they were going ashore to examine, one of the boys in Cushraaa's boat lost a cap overboard, s ad Cushman called out to slack the fore-shut to bring the boat round, and the boy socideat ally let the sheet "fly loose," but just aa several hands reached over to get the cap, a puff of wind caught the sails, and she capsized, instantly plunging all haulm in the river to struggle for life at a distance of about two-thirds of the way from the Essex oosst. Cushman struck out directly, and called upon the boys to do so too, and reach the boat, which they Dearly alt did, and hang on to her, as she floated lightly, having very little ballad, but unhappily the weight was ono-sided, and she heeled over on to the poor lads, who by this time were both cold and exhausted. Several of them were drifting down the tido, and calling upon Cush man for aid and asking what to do, and he, bidding them keep up their spirt* struck out and saved two who could not eaan, whom he swam ashore with. By this time Oook's boat came dug under sail and rescued five by throstiag out therein. Cullman spin plunged in to save the third, but in endeavouring to pt his out off, he nearly lost his life, and would have done so had not a boy seized his sleeve cuff, and by pulling at it, dragged one arm out. By this time nine poor fellows had rank to rise no more, chiefly clinging to each other, and Cushman bad no fewer than five lads clinging to him by the neck and loth Getting free with difficulty he caught one little fellow by the hair, as he was shaking for the last time, and herd him breast high out of the water till a waterman's boat took the lifeline body chore. A lad, Denton, was seen upholding two of his comrades, and was swimming ashore with theft s but a third, catching hold of the brave boy's feet, they all sank together almost within reach of acne, Another lad, named Beckwith, stimulated by Cathasn's gallantry, dived in again after having recovered a little ed his exhaustion, and brought one boy ashore who was sink ing for the last time. AA soon es possible those rescued were taken ashore, where there happened to be two medical MOD who app li ed! every restorative, with t'.• aid of Dr. Tipple, from Erith, who had driven off to the spot on bearing of the disaster, the result of which was that the poor boy last brought ashore was the only one pronounced beyond the power of man to read to life. Cushman himself was so exhausted that on regaining the shore for the last time he fell forward into the mud. Mr. Webster and Mr. Houghton, of the sewer works, sad the other officials, vied with the workman and navvies in doing their utmost to re lieve the sufferers. Indeed, the DAVTiOII pulled off their clothing without hesitation, and wrapping them round the bodies of the halt-drowned poor boys, carried them as tenderly aa if they were their own ; and it wee mainly owing to the untiring friction of their honest rough hands that the live. of those fast ebbing away wen saved. Cush. man, in speaking of their attentions, said that "Messrs. Weimar and Houghton, with the other officials, and the labourers, were se kind and attentive that the recollection of it unmanned him," which it certainly did. This calamity has out • heavy gloom over the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, equal almost in intensity of feeling to that of the late explosion, and Captain Whitbey, of the Worcester, is in a very distrawedetate of mind. Ia fact, he and the whole of those connected with the Wor cester are seriously indisposed by the shock. Some of the cadets were brought to Erith in Dr. Tipple's carriage, and he is attending them at i private house, where they will remain for • time ; others are at his house, and some have gone on board again. The boat was a very large OWN and powerful u a man-of-war's pinnace, pulling twelve oars. being 6tt. Tin. in the beam, and 28ft. is length, with • double back. Exertions Ant at once made with • view of reouseing the bodice of the nine boys, and that part of the neck where the catastrophe occurred was dragged, but with no satisfactory result. The ebb tide was running strong at the time, but it is hoped that they will be east up in • day or so. Mr. Bullivant, the hon. secretary of the school, visited the ship in the course of yesterday, and having conferred with Captain Whitby, arrangements were made for the reception of the bodice as they ware found at the Pier Hotel, Frith; and as an inducement to the fishermen, dredgermen, and others employed on the water to recover the rem ain. at as euly • period se poor able, it was intimated that the committee for managing the school would give • reward of It. for the finding of any one of the bodies of the missing boys.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. —The thirty-seoond annual meeting of this society took pla.ie at Exeter-hall, on Tuesday ; Nr. J. N. Harrison. president, in the chair.

The committee, in their report, yam briefly in review the more prominent operations of the society in connexion with choral music, and remark that those who I have taken an active part in their proceedings for a series of years may reasonably derive considerable gratifieatioo from the reflection that their labours have not only ; yielded plainer* to themselves, but have *stowed like I enjoyment upon an immense number of other parsecs, lof whom the audiences have been emposed ; while . everyone will feel it to be a pleasurable airennastaeos : that the interests of the musical protonic. have also bees ' largely promoted by the operations of the society, which, I amoupt other advantages conferred, has been the medium of disbursing, for professional engagements and for the pur -1 chaos of music, nearly 100,0001. It is well to bear is , mind that, in these lengthened and important labours of the society, neither personal private advantage, nor large accumulation of funds by the society, has been the object of its members ; as amateurs, they all render musical maim is a purely honorary spirit, and the heeds of the misty are such merely as are considered neemnary .to its stability.
