MB following suggestions for the public safety on rail.
ways have been submitted for the consideration of the
Board of trade:-1. When any part of the line is under
repair, the drivers and guards to be informed of the pre-
cise spot, with order to reduce speed when within • mile
of it, and to go over at • rate not exceeding five miles
an hour. 2. The spots under repair to be conspicuously
indicated by special signals. 3. The signals to be of an
entirely different description from those used for other
purposes, and to be observed in all oases where the
repairs cannot be completed in the intervals of the
trains.

1.-THi steamer ordered round for her
Majesty's baggage presents us with the first
indication of the Queen't approaching de-
parture for the COntinent. The extreme
illness of her venerable relative, the King of
the Belgians, renders it important that the
first stage of her continental progress, which
will only extend as far as Laeken, should at
once be undertaken. The interview will be
affecting, as one which on both sidett may be
felt to admit of little hope of repetition in
this passing world. From Laeken we
learn that Her \ Majesty will travel via
Brussels to Cologne, and thence to the
Chateau de Kratuchstein, near Darmstadt,
on a visit to the Princess Alice and her
husband, Prince Louis of Hesse. In the
latter end of the present month of August
Her Majesty will quit Darmstadt roi Oehlirg
for the prime object of her journey, namely,
the inauguration yt the monunierit to "the
Father of our Kings to be" upon his natal
spot in Saxe•Coburg. We are told that the
Queen's German journey will occilpy a space
of four weeks, when the queen and Royal
Family will return for a few days only, to
Windsor Castle preparatory to revisiting
Scotland in the middle of September.
,COLPANSO, the Titular Bishop
of Natal, returns to his Diocese armed with
a subsidy of £3,600 levied on his friends and
admirers, to work further wonders on the
Zus or the Zulus on him ; whilst the Bishop
of Capetown, the Metropolitan of his district,
is reinsed by the British Government the
reimbursement of the experista incurred by
him as a real defender of the faith. It is to
be hoped that Dr. Gray will not in the end
be a Sufferer for his zeal; yet we have
always remarked, though not with surprise,
with what comparative facility funds may be
raised for purposes amide from the truth, as
contrasted with those intended for the
advancement of the great good cause. In
this it seems ordained that truth when it
triumphs should triumph in its own right.
Still we are told and believe that we must
use the means. And no appeal to our owa
district could come more opportunely be.fort
us *millet the overspreading gIOOSI that
shadows, damps, and discourages our Foreign
and ' Colonial Missions than the great
approaching anniversaries of the venerable
Society for Propagation of the Gospel in
Foreign parts, and the Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge in the week after next
at Salisbury. These are the t*o most ancient
propagandaa of our Iteformed Faith; they
come before us supported by a greater weight
of episcopal authority that any other Church
Associations; and in these bodies our Dorset
friends more especially have always shOwn
such a devoted interest that it is to them we
now most pointedly appeal to attend,
numerously, the Salisbury gathering. From
what is stated elsewhere it will be found
that the railway facilities are very complete;
and in this, the hour of our Church's need,
we look for a demonstration worthy 0r the
spirit and liberality of the district.
