ALARMING AggININT AN THE RARTBRN

couriZLlB izATiligi.

An alarming accident occurred on Tuesday evening
oa the Norfolk section of the Eastern Counties Railway,
between Great Yarmouth and Norwich. In consequence of
the line between Norwich and London being to some extent
impried with snow, the trains have been more or lees de-
layed, and the down train, which ought to leave Norwich at
4.46 p.m. for Yarmouth and Lowestoft, did not depart till
about six p.m. Between Yarmouth and Norwich the line
runs for the most pert through a desolate, bleak, marshy
country, and the snow with which the district was visited
oa Monday was drifted by a strong wind to a greet depth in
many places. By great exertions the rafts were cleated
when they were blocked; but no sooner was this done than
they were again drifted up by the north-eater, which conti-
nued blowing hard throughout Tuesday. The 8 p.m.
train left the Norwich station, drawn by two en-
gines, and accomplished the first seven miles of its
journey in safety. When, however, it was about a
mile from the Buckenham station, one of the engines left the
rails in conaequence of the depth of the snow which had again
covered them. It happened that a number of trucks were
puede; on the other line at the moment, and the engine
whichled run off came into collision with some of them. A
great crash, of course, took place, and four or five trucks
were smashed. An inspector of permanent way, named
Chandler also had one of Ins arm, broken, and an engine-
driver, aimed Holroyd, was seriously scalded. No passenger
sustained any injury, but the trains were, as a matter of
course, brought to a stand-still, and the occupant. of the car-
riage' were conveyed back to Norwich. After a delay of
about fear hour/141e communication was again restored by
mesas of trains run on reek side to from the &brio which
obstructed the line. This amine was also adopted yester-
day morning and great nations were made to overcome the
difficulties which existed. Four trucks were forced off the

Ma. RAWLY'S HORSE-TAMING SYSTEM.—The
eenualasion nominated by the Emperor, consisting of General
Fleury, Mr. Mackenzie Grieves, and other gentlemen im-
planted with the nature of the hone, to examine into Mr.
Rarey's mode of proceeding has terminated lie investigations.
In order to put the system to a vigorous test, it caused to be
purchased at Caen a four year old hone by Tipple cifir,
noted for its violence, and for kicking furiously whenever an
attempt was made to put a cropper on it. In the apace of
four days this horse wee m docile with the saddle and in har-
ness as oonld be desired, and be allowed a whip to be cricked
about his head and a drum to be beaten on himbeck withont
any manifestation of fear. We are informed that the re-
, suite of the various experiments, and especially of the one in
question, are coloidered by the commission perfectly astir
faotory, and that, in coamquemns their report to the Rm.
qeror will be very favotusble to Mr. Rarey. A new expert-
meet was made yeeterday (Tuesday) at Tattersall's on a
stallion &desiring to the Harm du

muzzled, and led by two men, Mr. Rarey fastened himself up
in a stall, and in an hour after he came out mounted on 101

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 4.

Faou what ham been allowed to transpire respect.
ing the reuletions pared by the Committee of the
Commons on Mr. Erre?' case, it may be inferred
that the Hon. Member bas been acquitted of the
charge of " breach of privilege.' The meaning of
this verdict will be that Mr. Lrrr ban, in his cam-
suion with the Anseer Au Mochas, sated in COO-
fortuity with the privileges of the House of Com-
mons. Let as see, then, in se tar as the light thrown
span the question by the evidence submitted to the
Committee enable* us, what these privileges are.
Au MOOIAD, one of the four Ameers of Upper
&lade, was accused of having acquired tie lobe-
Titan°. of one of his colleague by the production of
a forged document. The Indian Government ap-
pointed a Commission of three of their ablest ser-
vants to investigate the charge judicially. The
Commission came to the conclusion that the charge
was proved. The Court of Directors thereupon pro-
posed that ALI Moos to should be deprived of the
lands which he held under the forged document.
The PRIRIDVIT of the BOARD or CORTROL, for
the time being, was of opinion that his sentence
wee too lenient, and at his suggestion Au MOORAD
wu deprived of the lands thus fraudulently
obtained, and also of what are called hie " hub= "
lands, leaving him in possession of all hie remaining
and very valuable hereditary property.
To obtain a reversal of his judgment, the Ameer
came to England. We peas over the minor per-
sonage. u the disinterested and sympathising
agency by which he was surrounded—the Conveys,
and the amiable lady who travelled from London to
Paris, and from Paris to Vienna, for the Platonic
purpose of amusing the deposed Prince by play-
ing chess with him. Our business is with the
servant of the English public, the hon. Member for
Yoaghal.

Thus much is established by Mr. Burr's own
statements. His services were engaged for the
Ameer soon after that Prince's arrival in England.
Mr. Burr admits that he could at any time have
assumed the management of the application to Par-
liament in the Ameer's behalf. He states that
he always urged upou the Ameer, and his
friends and advisers, the bringing of his
case before Parliament, as the most expedient
coarse to pursue. He actually moved for
papers, this production of which he deemed calm-
toted to promote the Ameer's views. He
waited upon Directors of the East India Company,
and upon Mr. Vratros Sam, the ex-President of
the Board of Control, to solicit their good offices on
behalf of his client. The result of these applica-
tions was a letter from the Board of Directors in
answer to the Ameer's application, which on being
submitted, as is necessary, for the approbation of
the Board of Control, was materially altered by Mr.
Valise's SMITH. The reply, as originally framed
by the Court of Directors, was in effect, that the
Ameer's case had been judicially decided, and that
they saw no reason to reverse the decision. The
reply, as modified by Mr. VILINON SMITH, was in
effect, that if the Ameer would return to his native
country, and exert himself in behalf of the English
Government, his request might be favourably enter-
tained. These services, Mr. Burr declares, were per
gratuitously, and simply from his conviction
of the justice of the Arneer's claims. But in addi-
tion to these services Mr. Burr agreed to proceed to
India to urge the Ameer's suit there. For this ad-
ditional service Mr. Burr admits that he was to
receive in all 10,00 W., and that of this sum he
has actually received something more than 2,0001.
Mr. Burr declares that be still holds himself bound
to proceed to India if the Ameer insists upon it;
that in the event of Mr. Burr's declining ultimately
to proceed to India, he will refund the money no-
mired ; but that if he is only prevented from pro-
ceeding to India by the Ameer and his advisers
arriving at the conclusion that his services are not
requited there, he will retain the money received.
This is, to the best of our ability, a fair and correct
statement of the substantial facts proved before the
Committee of the House of Commons.

Now, to what do them facts amount ? Mr. Burr
is a Member of tho House of Commons ; of a tri-
bunal which might have been called upon to
pronounce a verdict as to the justice or
injustice of the treatment of ALt MOOLD by
the Government of India; • tribunal which
Mr. Bert. again and again urged AL: MOOILAD to
appeal to. Mr. Burr, too, it would appear, actually
took some initiatory steps, which might hays been
serviceable to the Anteer had the case been brought
before the tribunal of which he was a member. A
