A TRAIN ON FIRE.

The following letter appear.; iu the TittwA :

" I In public grounds I am induced to submit the follow-
I lag statement to your notice, which will strengthen the
arguments alreely adduced by yourself and others in favour
of some couvitunkaitiou between the railway passengers and
this. in charge of a train. -tt I 1..t0 yesterday inuroing I
started from Endome mare, accompanied by my wife mid sees-
ial pamengem in theotber comp. rtmenta of the woe first-elaas
carriage. ,is we *preached Illisworth, at which station the
Irate was filet advertised to atop, it was discovered that the
moral the earriige was oil tire. The flames had attained coo-
vidurable power at this time, as they were noticed by the
Illiswortk emeiale whet' the train first appeared in sight.
on arriving at the station it was found that a large propor-
tion of the luggage on the reef was entirely destroyed and
the carriage charred. Had this fire occurred at some other
moment we might have met with a fate which it is
horrilil, to contemplate. Every moment added to the
rapidity of the flame, and bad it been discovered sooner what
lower would the passeugere have had of averting their fate:
It appears to me to be the boutailen duty, as I believe it
1.. NI the interest, of railway director. to place some power
of comnionbation between the passengers and guard, in the
hand. of the former. If directors are really in earnest, and
otter a premium in proportion to the importance of the ohs
)set aimed at, they will not have keg to wait. lam no
advocate of any system which would leave the program of
the train in the hands of any nervous pammager ; but I do
.trom,ly urge the necessity of some schema which will pre-
vent the possibility of any such casualty as that from which
I feel I have been most mercifully spared. —I arm your
obedient servant, " A. H. Vassar.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OP THE HARBOUR
MAsTER OF sr. HEUER, AND THREE OTHER
PERSONS.

Much painful excitement was occaßionell on Fri-
day sight in the town of St. Helier, Jersey, by the
aunannossest of the death of Captain John Chevalier, bar.
bour-waster of that port, Mr. Le Fauvre, his foreman of
works, sail two of the hauteur labourers., by the upsetting
of a boat in the lay the same *weenie. It appears that
Capt. Chevalier had gone with his boat's crew, and accom.
paaied by a neighbour, Mr. Winter Le Quesnc, to the bay of
St. &elide. for the purpose of erecting a beacon near where
the steeper Express west ashore about • twelvemonth ago.
This leak completed, they returned honseward with all sail
set. After passing Norimoot Point, which bounds the bay
of St. Helier on the west, the wind suddenly freshened.
They attempted to take in sail, but before that operation
could be completed • violent squall struck the boat, which
capsized, sod the whole boat's crew were instantly
precipitated into the sea, which was rather neigh
at the time, with • strong tido running.
Two at three of the unfortunate men managed to get hold
of the gunwale, but they speedily dropped off and sank.
lb. Le Quewne, who is a gosh swimmer, and got hold of an
empty water cask that had drifted out of the boat, managed
to support himself until picked up by the cutter Peri, the
crew of which witnessed the accident, and did everything
that could possibly be done, and at considerable personal
risk, to rescue any other possible survivor. Captain
Chevalier was also an expert swimmer, but be
is believed to have been partially disabled through
the effects of • fall in the early part of the day.
He VAS much respected in the town, and leaves • widow
and several children, one of whom is Limit. Chevalier, well.
known as the inventor of the electric target. Mr. Le
Ewers was ale. married and had two children. One of the
labourers leaves • widow with six children. As • nark of
respect for the deceased harbour-master, on Saturday all
the vessels in the harbour and the flagstaffs in the neigh-
bourhood drooped their colours to halt mast high.

PARLIAMENTARY AND RAILWAY COW-
mrnws.

RAILWAY BILLS. —The following railway bills
have received the royal assent :—Bristol and South Wales
Union Railway ; South Eastern Railway (capital) ; Dublin,
Wicklow, rod Wexford Railway ; Blackpool and Lytham
Railway ; Inverness and Aberdeen and Nairn Amalgama-
tion; Brecon and Merthyr Railway (additional money);
lovernees and Aberdeen Railway ; Oswestry and Newtown
Railway ; Strathspey Railway; Shrewsbury and Welchpool
Railway ; Exeter and Exmouth Railway ; Witney Railway;
Canton and Liverpool Railway ; Great Western Railway
(capital) ; Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway; Kilruah
and Kilkee Railway ; Morayshire Railway ; fitmtford-on-
Avou Railway ; Wrexham and Miners Itailway ; Lanca-
shire sad Yorkshire (Bootle branch and extension to Settle).
The following have been withdrawn :—Andover and Red-
bridge Railway ; Aleester Railway ; Dublin and Meath
Railway ; London and North Western, Great Northern,
and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway ; Me.
rimiethshire Railway; Scottish North Eastern Railway;
Street Rail Company.
C'HARINCI•CRO/43 RAILWAY (CITY TEIIMIIIIII).—The return
just made by this company to the House of Lords shows
that the number of houses to be taken in the parish of
St. Saviour, Southwark, in estimated at 82, situated princi-
pally in narrow and ill-ventilated streets, courts, andispp=
and that the number of persons to be
amounts to about 557 ; and the return further states that
no provision in made in the bill for remedying any inconve-
nience, since the removal of those that will be actually dis-
turbed, estimated at one-fifth of the return, would mate-
rially benefit the at present too crowded neighbourhood,
there being ample and improved accommodation in the
vicinity for those disturbed, in consequence of the gradual
migration el the middle classes to more suburban resideoces.

THE PROPOSED Lameare Antrior.—This bridge, the bill
for which has been passed by the committee of the House
of Lonlsos to be constructed on the suspension principle,
with two piers in the bud of the river, and three arches of
280 feet span each, and with a headway of 21 feet between
the crown of the centre arch and Trinity high water mark.
It will be carried across the river from Church•street,
Lambeth, to Market-street, Weetniinater, with approaches.
ESIBANXIIErr OF TUE RIVES MEDWAY.—It is proposed
by a bill now before the house to embank portions of the
River Medway.

CANADA.—The Canadian census is nearly com-
plete. The returns for forty-one of the forty-two counties
into which Upper Cluiada is divided show an increase of
400.534, or a littlo over 47 per cent. Only one county,
Welland, remains to be beard from. The population of the
five cities in Upper Canada, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa,
Kingston, and London, is 103,589, against 71,267 in 1852.
It thus appears that the population of fortrons counties
and five cities in Upper Canada has grown from 921,217 in
1852, to 1,154,073 in 1861—au increase of 432,836, or 47 per
par cent. In his statement just addressed to the Governor-
General the Minister of Finance says:—" Canada has
during the past year been blessed with a most abundant
harvest, the effect of which is seen on every side. It has
already, for the first time in her history, caused the exports
to appear in excess of the imports ; and with the industry
and intelligence of the people, combined with the rapid
development of the resources of the country, the province
may reasonably look forward at the commencement of a
new decade, with the hope that its close will afford still
greater evidence of progress acid prosperity."
Sr. Perea's PENCIL —The No:tune throws some
light on a feature of this tribute, which most have been
generally noticed, viz., the comparatively large sins that
i come to the Pontiff from Abyssinia. Australia, and other
distant and unlikely quarters. The religions houses, it is
stated, are empowered to sell their property with the
reserved right of redeeming it in better times, The money
thus arising is divided into three parts. Two are kept as a
deposit, in case of the dissolution of the religious houses -
the third is consolidated in the hands of the minister of
finance at Ramie, who gives to the depositors debentures
for the amount. These are seat to some oonfidential
person abroad, who negotiates them for what he can pet,
and the amount is forwarded to Rome under colour of being
an offering from distant regions. The sum raised by this
device amounts, says the Nszione, to more than 800,000
wadi.

MONEY MARKET.-(7711S DAL)

Two o'Cwcw.

The funds to-day are very inactive, and rather
tlat. Consols are quoted about I.ltl per cent.
lower than they closed yesterday. The other de-
partments of the Stock Exchange are extremely
quiet, but prices are steady. English railway
stocks, in two or three instances, are rather better,
owing partly to the Sue weather.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Reutee
opened at 69fr. 37c., being 3c. lower than
yesterday.

Consols are officially marked 914 and 2 for mo-
ney, and 914 for the account. The pre-
sent quotations are 914 to 3 for money,
and 914 to 4 for the Gth of June.
The official business report is an follows :—Bank

There have been more inquiries to-day for the
Turkish Bonds of 1858, which are marked 561
and 561. The Loan of 1854 is steady, at 704
to 714. Other foreign stocks exhibit no movement.

At the Bank of England the demand for money,
which on Saturday was considerable, was yesterday
upon a quiet scale. In Lombard-street the rates
for the best bills were 6 to Si per cent.
In the Stock Exchange the supply of money was
more liberal.

On Saturday there wa.s a decided reiapse on the
Vienna Bourse. The Five per Cent. Metalliquee
fell 2 per cent., whil3t the exchange roes fruui
139.1'5 to 141.50.

About 3,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank yes-
terday. No sovereigns were withdrawn for America,
but a considerable amount will probably be sent
to-morrow by the City of Washington and
Borussia; which leave Liverpool and Southampton
respectively.
The arrival was announced ye.teiday of the Copen-
hagen, from Melbourne, after a lengthened passage
of 111 days, with 206,0001. in gold. 40,0001. has
also arrived from Constantinople. Nearly the
whole of the supply from Australia is expected to
be sent into the Bank, as there is no inquiry for
the continent.

The steamer Peninsula took 23,000/. in gold fur
Cadiz yesterday.
The bar silver by the last West India packet was
sold yesterday for the East at ss. O'd. per ounce,
showing a rise of id., owing to the smallue.ss of the
amount.

The wheat market yesterday was dull, awl former
prices were barely supported. The for.ign arrivals
are rather large, principally American, Russian, and
Spanish.
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm,
and the sales increased to 10.000 bales.

Yesterday was the day fixed for the adjudication
of the New Zealand Six per Cent.4Loan for 150,0001.
The number of tenders sent in to the Union Bank
of Australia, up to two o'clock, the hour fixed fur
them to be opened, was 48, represseuting 84,00 W.
Of this amount only 18,4001. was tendered for at
and above the sealed minimum, which proved
to be 1011. 15e. This amount was accordingly ac-
cepted, and the balance of the loan-131,0001.
remained open for subscription at the above-men-
tioned minimum, but for yesterday (Monday)
only. In the tenders lodged at two o'clock
there was a very wide variation in the prices
offered. Some of the accepted bids were at 1021.
10s. and 1031., and one at 1041., whil-t of those
which were rejected there were many at par (in-
cluding two of 10,0001. each), others ranging down
as low as 871. 10a. How it could be imagined that
a colonial six per cent. bond could be obtained at
such a price is difficult to understand. There
seems to have been a great want of precision in the
biddings, as if the persons who made them had
no very clear notion of the value of the article under
negotiation.

The agents general for the Crown Colonies invite
tenders until the 27th instant, for a further utaouut
of 25,0001. of Cape of Good Hope Government
Six per Cent. Debentures. These bonds are for
sums of 1001. each, and will be redeemed in Lon-
don in 20 years hence.

We have received a copy of the official notifica-
tion issued by the Bank of France with regard to
the subscriptiou opened by that establishment for
Bonds of the Eastern, Aruenues, Paris, Lyons, and
Mediterranean, Southern, Orleans and Western
Railway Companies. The total number of Bonds
of 500 f., or W., now offered, is 7811,000, represent-
ing a nominal capital of 15,720.00 a The price of
issue varies f etea 291 f. 25c. to 293 f. 75c., so that the
sum payable in cash will be about 9,40,009/. The

June, is to be of such amount as to
leave 2001., or BL, be paid in two
moieties ou the 10th October and 10th December

torsof Mr. James Crichton, Baltic merchant, of Dun-
dee, it Wall resolved to accept a composition of :is.
in the pound. The creditors of Messrs. Staig and
Steuart, a firm connected with Mr. Crichton in a
joint adventure, have agreed to accept Bs. tid., on
the understanding that the estate shall be liqui-
dated under the superinteudeuce of Mr. Kamp, the
accountant. In neither case is the composition
secured.
