most important change in the foreign postage tariff was
made a week or two ago, when the British packet rate-of

PREVENTION OP RAILWAY Comsfoxs.—Messrs. Doan
and Goddard, of Turnwheel Lane, Cannon-street, London,
have originated an invention with this laudable object in
view which is thus described :—The inventors undertake to
establish, by means of wires, a communication between the
different railway stations and intermediate distances. A
wire connected with a battery runs from the station to the
required distance, ono or two miles, or further according to
circumstances, where it joins to bars, placed on each side of
the line, which are charged with electricity ; while another
wire runs backward to the station, and thus makes the
communication complete. By means of the usual signs,
" All right," " Stop," Clear," and so on, the station-
master on the one side, and the engine-driver of each train
on the other, are apprised of the state of the line at any
moment, and enabled to pursue the proper course. Con-
nected with the bars is a treddle spring, which cannot fail to
be touched by any train which passes over the spot, and the
action of which is such as to set in motion bells at the station,
which continue ringing during the whole time occupied by
the passing of the train. The signalling appears to be ar
ranged that it is next impossible for two trains to enter at
the same time on the intermediate ground without wanton
disreargd of duty on the part of the railway servants in
charge of the station or the trains. Mention was also made
yesterday of an apparatus which has been in operation on
the South Eastern railway for several months ; the effect of
it being to enable the station-master to prevent any train
from starting until a signal has been received announcing
that the line is clear. Even this appears well adapted to
secure the public against a recurrence of many of the most
fatal accidents recorded : but if there are no practical diffi-
culties of an insurmountable nature to be urged against the
more recent and exact invention exhibited for the first time
yesterday, the public will have a right to expect to be saved
from having broken bones, and railway companies to be
relieved from expenses for compensations and repairs which
sometimes have a serious effect on dividends.
