RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Mr. BENTINCK asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether, in consequence of the repeated recurrence
of railway accidents, it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to introduce during the present session any
measure for the better prevention of railway accidents,
founded on the report of the Committee on Railway Acci-
dents which was laid upon the table of the house in the
year 1858.

Mr. GIBSON said the committee over which his hon.
friend presided in 1858 made a numberof recommendations,
the first of which was that the Board of Trade should have
the fullest powers to investigate and report to Parliament
upon any accidents which might occur on railways. Go-
vernment did not intend to ask Parliament to invest the
Board of Trade with these powers, for all accidents were
inquired into, and the railway companies had been willing
to supply the inspectors who conducted those inquiries with
all the information which was needed. The next recom-
mendation of that committee was, that Government should
compel the companies to make some communication between
the guard and the driver. This subject had been under the
consideration of the committee at the railway clearing-house.
They had not yet made their report, and therefore the Go-
vernment could not yet saywhat course the companies would
pursue, or what course would be taken by the Government.
At present it was not the intention of the Government to
introduce any measure on the subject. The next point was
that of telegraphic communication. This was already in
force on many of the principal lines, and the Government did
not think it necessary to legislate on the subject. Nor was
it desirable to relieve the railway companies from the re-
sponsibility which now devolved upon them of providing
for the safety of the public traffic. It would be seen from
an analysis of the returns that in 1864 there was an increase
in the number of accidents to passenger trains. In 1863
there were 52 accidents to passenger trains ; and in 1864
there were 77 separate accidents of that kind. But
there had been a considerable increase in the number of
trains altogether that run and an increase of mileage.
Therefore, in dealing with the increase in the number of
accidents that deduction must be made. As to the number
of passengers injured in 1864, he found that the railways
had conveyed 220,000,000 of passengers, exclusive of sea-
son ticketholders. There had been only 14 persons altoge-
ther killed, or one passenger out of every 15,714,285 pas-
sengers carried. There had been one passenger injured
out of every 315,638 passengers carried. This showed an
increase of the injured, and a decrease of the killed. In
1863 the railway companies had paid a severe penalty for
the injuries to passengers, amounting to no less a sum than
£170,000.

AMALGAMATION OF LONDON BOAT CLUBS.
A meeting of the representatives of the London Boat
Clubs, for the purpose of having a general opening day on
the Thames, and other important business, was held last
night at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars.
A number of gentlemen sat down to dinner, and Mr. H.
Playford, of the London Rowing Club, having taken tho
chair, opened the proceedings by stating that the meeting
had been called together solely for the purpose of consider-
ing whether it was not advisable, for the interests of boat-
ing generally upon the Thames, that they should have a
general opening day. If they came to a decision that such
should be the case, then they must fix time and place, and,
this matter settled, others might arise.
A long discussion then ensued, in which all the clubs
joined, and it was ultimately resolved that the whole of the
metropolitan clubs should open their season on the 25th of
March, at Putney; and a sub-committee was formed of the
following gentlemen, who should consider other minor
details connected with the subject.
Mr. Ebsworth, Twickenham Rowing Club,
Mr. T. Fox, North London Rowing Club,
Mr. C. Boyden, London Rowing Club,
Mr. F. Richardson, Nautilus Rowing Club,
Mr. C. W. Roney, Ariel Rowing Club,
Mr. H. Moore, Corsair Rowing Club,
Mr. T. Onwin, Thames Rowing Club,
Mr. Lister, West London Rowing Club,
Mr. G. T. Purdie, Ilex Rowing Club, and
Mr. J. E. Baines, Excelsior Rowing Club.
The subject of an amalgamated club was then taken into
consideration, for the purpose of forming one great club
from which the Henley crews should be chosen, and the
question was ultimately left to the select committee above
•
named.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON POLICE-CONSTABLES.—Edward
Lappage, a thief, and Elizabeth Watson, a woman
of the town, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged
with being concerned, with another, named William Tyler,
with assaulting and wounding two police-constables,
named Thomas Venables, No. 141 K, and Edward Jeffrey,
No. 529 K.

Tyler was remanded by Mr. Paget on Wednesday,
Lappage and Watson were arrested yesterday.
On Tuesday afternoon last Venables was called upon to
supress a disturbance in John's-place, Baker-street, Step-
ney. The population of John's-place consist almost solely
of the dangerous class, and robberies and outrages have
been frequent there. Venables took a man in custody, and
Lappage made a furious attack upon him, and kicked him.
He was also struck on the head with a poker, and a serious
wound inflicted, from which the blood flowed copiously.
The female prisoner also attacked him, threw mud at him,
and said you shall not assault my brother. Bricks and other
missiles were thrown at the constable, his face was bruised,
and his left eye blackened. He was overpowered, and drew
his staff, which he was compelled to use. He held on
to the prisoner Tyler, who kicked and beat him. The
constable received many blows and contusions from
bricks and stones. He has been on the sick list since
the affray, and will not be able to resume his duty for
some days. _ _ _

Jeffrey, whose head was bandaged, and who is also
on the sick list, said he found Tyler kicking his brother
constable, who was fearfully knocked about by the dis-
orderly mob. Bricks were flying about in all directions
from the windows of the houses, and the people were
flourishing broomsticks, tongs, and pokers. Lappage
struck him several times. He received a great many
severe kicks about the body, and was knocked quite
senseless. He recollected no more.

Inspector Griffin, of the K division, spoke of the dan-
gers of John's-place, the lawless character of the inha-
bitants, and the illness of the constables, who were not
likely to recover the injuries received by them for some
time.

Mr. Partridge said his colleague,-Mr. Paget, had alread
remanded one prisoner until Wednesday next, and he
should remand Lappage and Wilson until that day.

WESTMINSTER.

ROMANTIC ROBBERY.—Five boys, named Debretzen,
Salter, Sharman, Whitby, and Maskell, were placed at the
bar, charged with a robbery of a somewhat romantic
character.

Mr. Lambert, of 42, Upper Belgrave-place, said he had a
pigeon-house on St. George's-wharf, belonging to the
Grosvenor Canal. His pigeons were safe at seven o'clock
on Tuesday night, but on the following morning the whole
of them, 13 in number, were missed. The pigeon-house
could only be reached by a: ladder from the wharf, and the
latter was locked up and secured at dark on Tuesday night
Information was given to the police, and the birds were
found at two pigeon-fanciers' shops.
James Youngman, of Dorset-street, Vauxhall Bridge-
road, said that the first four named prisoners sold him a
number of the pigeons, stating they were their own. A
fair price was given for them.

Joseph Judd, of Strutton-ground, proved buying the re
minder.

Sergeant Hornblow, 24 B, said that being informed of
the robbery, he examined the prosecutor's premises to see
how the birds had been stolen. He found that some timber
floating on the canal had been collected, and a raft manu-
factured of it, by which access had been obtained to the
wharf from the opposite bank.

There were some other robberies of a similar description
in which most of the prisoners were implicated.
The first named prisoner was sentenced to two months,
the next three to one month, the other a day.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

:HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVaTING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat at the usual hour.
BANKRUPTCY LAWS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR called the attention of
their lordships to some returns relating to the bankruptcy
laws, and said that during the last year 7,124 adjudica-
tions in bankruptcy had been made. Of these only 604
were made on the application of the trader. The whole of
the property collected and realised under these bank-
ruptcies amounted to £677,536. Of that, £533,864
was divided amongst the creditors the difference
of £143,672 was absorbed in the costs of
collecting and disposing of the £677,536. But that was not
all. £242,872 must be added to the enormous sum of
£140,000 for the expenses of the tribunal itself ; the sala-
ries and ordinary expense of the court ; that made £383,872
expended for the purpose of providing for the distribution
of £533,664. Having mentioned the results of several
other returns, he said that when the report of the committee
of the House of Commons which was now considering the
question had been presented he should apply himself
to the task of remedying such a monstrous state of affairs.

SIIIMEY SESSIONS—Feb. 9,

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Adams and a Bench of Magistrates.)
Robert Philtrip, 19, labourer, was indicted for maliciously
and feloniously maiming a horse, the property of William
Smith, by tearing his tongue out.
Mr. Robinson, instructed by Mr. E. Knight, of the Clap-
ham and Brixton branch of the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, prosecuted ; and the pri-
soner was defended by Mr. Miley.
The case created considerable excitement in a crowded
court, owing to the horrible brutality of the prisoner, and
was specially prosecuted by the Royal Society.
William Smith, the prosecutor said he was a dust col-
lector, residing at No. 5, Thornhill-place, Camberwell, and
had several horses and carts. The prisoner had worked for
him some time up to the 2d of November, when they had
a few words about three shillings and sixpence, and the pri-
soner left. At that time he made use of threats towards
him by saying ho would have his revenge for the money
in a way witness did not know; he, however, took no notice
of that, and on the 22d December the prisoner came to
him and begged him to give him some work, at the same
time requesting to have• his favourite horse Blondin out in
the cart. Witness immediately took him on to work, but
refused to allow him to use Blondin, but agreed to let him
have another horse which he generally used himself ; and on
the 23d December the prisoner went out collecting dust.
When the horse went out it vas in good order; its tongue
was sound and nothing the natter with it, except a small
scar at the tip. When witness7eturned home the same night
he was balled to the stable, where he saw the same horse in
a frightful state. Its tonguewas hanging out of its mouth;

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report and statement of accounts (an abstract of
which has appeared in The Sun), said that upon
many previous occasions he had had the pleasure of
congratulating the shareholders on the increased
receipts of the line ; and although he was unable to
do so on the present occasion, still the line has been
very prosperous ; and when they considered that a
new branch had been opened out from east to west,
almost parallel with their own, and a great number
of furnaces were not in blast at the present time
which were previously, he thought they might say
their line had been successful. In order to keep it so,
the directors had thought it desirable to proceed with
the Derwent branch. Since the Bill for that branch
had passed some of the neighbouring lines had
passed into the hands of the larger companies. The
directors of this company would endeavour to act
with prudence and caution in those matters. (Hear,
hear.) During the past half-year the local coal
trade had been better than ever it was before.

Mr. THOMPSON seconded the motion, which was
unanimously agreed to.

A dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum
was declared, and the retiring directors and auditors
were re-elected.

The meeting was then made special, and resolu-
tions were passed authorising £60,000 to be raised
by the creation and issue of 4,800 new shares, at
£l2 10s. each, pursuant to the provisions of the
Derwent Branch Act.

The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to
the chairman, directors, and secretary.

-SOLWAY JUNCTION.

The report of the directors states that the con-
tractors were making preparations for a vigorous
prosecution of the works upon the whole line, and
had already brought upon the ground considerable
quantities of material. The directors expected that
the line would be completed in two years. The en-
gineer (Mr. Brunlees) reported that some delay had
occurred in screwing down experimental piles to
ascertain the depths to which it would be necessary
to put down permanent piles. This had now been
accomplished, and the castings were being made
according to the depths required. The machinery
for screwing down the piles would be ready in a
few days.

NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK.

The disease is still prevailing in Norfolk with
much severity. Outbreaks are reported at Burgh
St. Peter, Gorleston, Wraxham, Burgh near Acle,
Attlebridge, &c. On the estate of Sir F. Crossley,
M.P., at Somerleyton, upwards of 40 beasts have
died or been slaughtered. At Lynn the disease has
broken out among some stock belonging to Mrs.
Mace, at Mundesley. The farm of Mr. Larter has
been the scene of an outbreak, and Horsted, seven
miles from Norwich, has not escaped contamination.
The subscription made in Norfolk for compensation
purposes is attaining a respectable total.

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting M.
Elie De Beaumont produced a letter from Professor
Zantedeschi, in which the latter vindicated his claim to
priority in starting the idea of the application of the elec-
tric telegraph to meteorology. It appears, from official
letters quoted by him, that he had proposed the organisa-
tion of meteorological observations along all the tele-
graphic lines of the Austrian monarchy
as early as Oct.,
1849. M. De Paravey wrote to say that the execution
of certain works of public utility had exercised an
in-
jurious effect on the composition of the Eau bL Bonner
(Basses-Pyrenees), which now had lost all their areg ine,
supposed bythe writer to be the active principlep of these
springs. A letter was received from M. Emile uchmine,
describing what he calls an "electric buoy" applicable to
many marino purposes. This buoy contains a little cylin-
der of coal, a small plate of zinc, and a bit of .cork ; this

informed him that it would not take any notice whatever
of secret remedies, the Abbe now wrote to say that ho did
not consider his remedy a secret one, and that he would
divulge it, but only in case the Academy should judge it
worthy of a prize under the Breant will. After some dis-
cussion, the Academy resolved to maintain its rule.—A
paper by Dr. Kooberlo on ovariotomy was presented by Dr.
Bay

an immense about 601 b., M. Thenard
remarked that ho knew the lady of Strasburg who had un-

ration had assured him that it was at case in which death
appeared inevitable.--Gailitani.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

The cattle murrain has shown itself among the
herd of Mr. Breet, of Oxton-grange (Notts). Mr.
Pyatt, the official inspector appointed by the autho-
rities says, that from the description of the cases
they are precisely the same as the one at Notting-
ham, and the disease appeared to have run its course
in the same time-18 hours.

FURNESS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Old Burlington-street
—Mr. Rickards in the chair.

The Secretary read the report, which stated that
the great depression in the iron trade consequent on
the strike in Staffordshire had materially diminished
the mineral traffic over the line during the past half
year, but that, notwithstanding this drawback, the
directors were able to recommend a dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum, which would leave
a balance of £3,500. The report referred to the
working agreements made between the Whitehaven
and Furness and the Midland Railway Companies,
which were considered very satisfactory. The works
on the Barrow Docks and on the Furness and Mid-
land line were being actively carried on.
The report was adopted, and the meeting was
then made special, when resolutions were adopted
authorising the directors to raise by mortgage, or
otherwise, the sum of £40,000, and to allot among
the ordinary shareholders capital to the amount of
£75,000 and £lOO,OOO for the construction of the
works on the new lines authorised.

EAST SOMERSET.

A meeting was held at Frome on Wednesday, and
a resolution was passed pledging those present not
to send cattle to market or to purchase any during
the next six weeks. Mr. R. A. Kinglake, of Wes-
ton-Super-Mare, suggested that more attention
should be paid to the breed of poultry, as a means
of lessening the consumption of meat during the
prevalence of the cattle plague.

COUNTRY MARKETS

LIVERPOOL.-FRIDAY.

At to-day's market there was a very thin attendance,
and the weather being extremely fine, the excitement of
yesterday has quite subsided, and we have only to report
a limited trade in wheat, at about 2d. over the rates of
Tuesday. Flour was held for an advance of 6d. to is. per
sack, but there was very little done. Oats Id. dearer, and
oatmeal, being exceedingly scarce, brought ls. to 2s. per
load more money. Beans fully as dear. Peas unaltered.
American Indian corn, being in plentiful supply, was 6d.
per qr. lower, prime mixed being obtainable at 315., but
Galatz, being scarce, brought 335.

WESTMINSTER.

STRANGE CASE OF ASSAULT.—Elizabeth Sweetman, a
prostitute, living at 1, Pine Apple-court, Westminster, very
decently attired, was charged with assaulting Mary Anne
Smith, an unfortunate, living at 18, Old Pye-street.
From the evidence of the complainant, it appeared that
at half-past 1 this morning she was at the corner of Gros-
venor-place, when prisoner came up to her, and, without
the slightest provocation, struck her a fearful blow in the
eye, which caused it to bleed very much, and completely
closed it up this morning.

In reply to Mr. Arnold, she said she had never seen her
before, and the prisoner declared that they had not quar-
relled in the Trevor Music Hall that night.
Fanny Taylor, 18, Old Pye-street, corroborated tho
prosecutrix.

Prisoner declared that she was first assaulted by prose-
cutrix with an umbrella, and did not retaliate till she had
been much assaulted. They quarrelled about a gentle-
man's servant.

Taylor was re-called, and said that the prosecutrix had
not an umbrella, as she carried both their umbrellas from
the Trevor to Hyde-park Corner, but could not assign any
reason for doing so.
Prisoner said her witness was absent.

W. Franke, 237 B, proved that he saw a disturbance
and heard bad language. He saw two men and three
women together, but witnessed no assault. He took pri-
soner, who said nothing.
Remanded till Monday on one £5 bail.

LINCOLNSHIRE.

District meetings have been held at Spalding,
Long Sutton, Boston, Horncastle, &c. At a meet-
ing. at Boston, Mr. J. B. Stanhope, M.P., said he
had written to the Privy Council with regard to the
powers of the act of 1848 for the prevention of
smallpox among sheep being applied to cattle. He
had suggested that the powers of that act, in refer-
ence to turning diseased sheep on waste ground, and
the penalty of £2O for offences, should be extended
to cattle. He expected a reply in a few days,
when he should publish both his letter and the
answer obtained.

the plague, and the most difficult to deal with. It is now
punishable by law finder the order of the Privy Council
just issued. But the earlier symptoms of the disease may
be observed by the owner long before any one else ; and I
remain of opinion that this danger will continue to operate
and may still be productive of great evils unless adequate
moans can be found to assure those who are first attacked
that their own interest will be best protected by prompt
disclosure of every suspicious case.

The cowhouses which I visited in Edinburgh were hot
and ill-ventilated.

A wooden hospital is about to be erected in the neigh-
bourhood of Edinburgh to receive the diseased cattle and
insure their separation from others, and they are to be
taken to it in a close conveyance which is being prepared
for the purpose.

I have engaged Mr. Romains to keep us informed from
time to time of the results of his observation and treatment
of the disease, and indeed of all that is material for us to
know.
