Railway Passengers' Signals.

There are few subjects which of late have excited
more interest or' attracted a larger share of public
attention than the completion of some one of the
various plans which have been invented for effecting
a safe and certain means of communication between
the passengers and guards and drivers of railway
trains. There is no doubt that the public were first
aroused to insist on some solution of this most diffi-
cult question by the murder of Mr. Briggs at Hack-
ney, though the- purely exceptional nature of that
crime, the detection and punishment which over-
took its perpetrator, and partly the gradual con-
saiousness which was evinced that scarcely any
amount of communication with the guard would
suffice to save a traveller from one really bent on
assassination, soon caused the feeling to die away.
It has lately; however, been revived on far more ra-
tional grounds than the first panic which gave rise
to it last summer. Since then tires have come off
wheels, axles, have broken, carriages caught fire or
run off the line, and it is rare now to find a week
passing without accounts in our columns of fearful
peril undergone by passengers who were bumped and
dragged along in a carriage off the line or with a
broken axle, powerless to avert the dreadful fate
which impended over them every second, and from
which nothing but what may be almost termed a
providential interference has saved them.. In but
too many cases of railway accidents that have ter-
minated with such fatal results it is well known that
all danger could have been easily avoided had the
passengers only possessed some means of communi-
cating with either guard or driver. It is only of
these latter disasters that the public are certain to
hear, for not one half of those which terminate with
dreadful frights and severe bruises to travellers are
made public. The demand for some means of con-
trolling the progress of the train on the part of the
passengers has, however, become so urgent and per-
sistent that the whole question has lately been re-
ferred to a Committee of the Railway Clearing-
house, where the various chief managers of the me-
tropolitan railways under the able presidency of Mr.
Forbes, of the London, Chatham, and Dover have
had to inquire into and report upon the enor.-
mous number of designs, inventions, and proposi-
tions for easily effecting this much-to-be-desired
means of communication. The very onerous duties
of the committee in this respect were fortunately
lightened by the fact that out of upwards of 200
plans proposed only two or three were really worth
considering at all. The report of this committee
has not yet been made public, thoughit is generally
known that it will in effect be against any of the
plans proposed—that it will request the Board of
Trade to take the onus of preparing any plan, and
also to assume the responsibility of the safe working
of the various lines when they have put it into the
power,of passengers to stop trains on the line at will.
This will, of course, be a very unsatisfactory conclu-
sion for the public, though the arguments by which
the railway managers can support this decision are
entitled to every weight and grave consideration.
First, they can point to the fact that in proportion
to the numbers carried and the high speed of tra-
velling—which latter is, of course, a most serious
element of danger—the number of passengers killed
on English railways are almost lower than the num-
bers killed on any other railway system in the world
while the loss of life among guards and railway offi-
cials is in England not more than half of what is
caused on continental lines, from the enforced rule
of the guards having to pass from carriage to car-
riage while the train is in motion to collect tickets,
&c. There is, however, no choice in this country as
to whether the passengers' signal is to stop thetrain
or to bring the guard to the carriage, for the latter
result is impossible on English lines, where the sides
of tunnels and the constantly occurring abutments
of bridges come so close to the carriages as to leave
no room for the guard to pass, and almost certain
death would result to any attempting it. Nothing
therefore remains but to give passengers the power
of stopping trains at once, and this is one which
the managers consider would be fraught with con-
stant and terrible danger to the public on the short
metropolitan lines, where the stoppages are constant
and the trains succeed each other at intervals of lit-
tle more than three minutes. Yet it was on a line of
this kind, and worked under these conditions, that
the murder of Mr. Briggs was committed, just as
the external facilities afforded on the French line to
enable the guard to enter any of the carriages while
in motion gave easy means of access to the mur-
derer of the French judge and equally easy and
certain means of escape. To speak plainly, how-
ever, perhaps too much excitement and too much
alarm have been caused by the murder of Mr. Briggs.
No one ever enters a railway carriage with the same
confident expectation that he will be as safe there
as in his bed, yet scores of people have been mur-
dered in their beds without causing a tithe of the
sensation that was awakened by the murder of Mr.
Briggs—a sensation due probably more to the novelty
of the crime and its mysterious discovery than to
the mere crime itself. Certain it is that there is no
signal yet devised by engineers or electricians which
would be quite enough to prevent those bent on
effecting murder from committing it before assist-
ance could come, even supposing the victim was so
little taken by surprise as to be able to sound the
signal before he was injured. It is not, however,
with a view to the prevention of the most rare crime
of murder or attempts at murder that it is soughtto
have communications established between passen-
gers, guard, and driver. The number of these crimes
is so small as to be scarcely worth considering. It
is to prevent danger from the constantly-recurring
accidents caused by broken tires and axles, car-
riages on fire or off the line, that the signals are
really designed. The value of such an invention
applied to carriages of main line trains on long and
rapid journeys is not likely to be ignored by the
report of the Clearing-house Committee, though it
is not improbable but that it will point to the diffi-
culties, the almost insuperable difficulties, of work-
ing extensive rolling stock between distant places,
and to the almost certainty of carriages. not fitted
with a continuation of the signalling apparatus
getting put into long trains, and so rendering the
signals from all the rest of the train worthless. To
fit all carriages is, as we have said, objected to ;
and it is asked, what would be likely to be the
result if the trains so fitted were used on the great
popular fete days at the Crystal Palace, where the
trains, full of " excited " holiday makers, are
running at two or three minutes' intervals up to
any 1 in
the morning, if it were left to any in passenger
carriage to stop the train in the middle of the line
when two or three were coming at full speed after it.
It must be admitted, therefore, that there are a good
many difficulties in the way of a practical solution
of this question ; and if it be solved at all, it will be
mainly due to the creditable energy and enterprise
with which the South-Western Company have come
forward in the matter, and to the skill and ingenuity
employed by their electrical superintendent, Mr. W.
H. Preece. The invention of Mr. Preece is that
which has been most favourably thought of by the
Clearing-house Committee, and it is also, we believe,
most strongly approved by the Government In-
spector, Captain Tyler. The whole apparatus is
simple in the extreme, and consists merely of a
strong clever adaptation of that power of the future,
electricity, to enable every passenger in every com-
partment to communicate with both guard and
driver. The machinery consists of a small six-cell
sulphate of mercury battery (a French discovery),
and a battery not liable to get out of order, and
which can work without change or supervision for
12 months at a time. This battery is connected by
common insulated wires passing under each side of

Master Archie moved towards the leaders, but was immedi-
ately after cannoned against by Cecrops, and was knocked
on to his nose and knees, and narrowly escaped coming to

beaten, which for a few strides left Osiris in front, when he
was headed by Macdonald, who came up on the right, and
won very easily by three quarters of a length. Janitor was

inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed te.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-

THE LATE MR, COBDEN,

"Ai. Gamier-Pages—Yes it is true. Tres bien.

We take the following particulars respecting the
early days of the deceased statesman from the Man.
chester Courier

EARTHQUAKE IN CORFU.—It is reported from
Malta that shocks of earthquake have been lately felt at
Corfu. It is said that a mountain near Arta has thrown out
smoke and flame. It is also reported that a village in the
neighbourhood has been destroyed, with two or three hun-
dred of its inhabitants.

N W SPAPER

i=t
each carriage like thin couplings and Nth eA3h
sia
of each compartment of every carriage, where they
meet in a circular little frame like a small timepiece.
The dial of *this timepiece, if we may so call it, is
covered by a thin glass, while on the dial itself are
directions to the passenger in case of danger to the
carriage to break the glass and pull a small ring in
the centre of the dial. The instant the dial is broken
and the handle pulled two semaphore arms fall down
on the outside to indicate the carriage froin which
the alarm is given, and the act of the falling arms
completes the electrical circuit, and rings a bell con-
tinuously and violently in the guard's van and
on the engine simultaneously. Nothing can
stop the ringing of this bell till the semaphore
arms are raised, and no one can raise them so
as to retain them upright but the guard. There
is, therefore, no possibility that any one could
raise an alarm undiscovered, nor that it could
ever be raised by accident, as it requires two
distinct and wilful acts to raise it—first that of
breaking the glass and next that of pulling the ring.
The glass is so thin that anyone, even a child, wish-
ing to do so, can easily break it, while the effort re-
quired to pull the ring is trifling. Of course, the
guard has the same means of communicating with
the driver, and the driver with the guard. In case
of any of the couplings breaking the electrical com-
munication is also broken with it, and in the act of
breaking liberates a detent, which, by completing
the circuit of the electricity, gives just the Emmet
alarm to guard and driver as if raised by apassenger.
The whole apparatus is one of the most simple and
certain and least expensive of any of the many plans
that have been put forward, and during the time it
has recently been worked on the South-Western it
har never failed once. It is intended to introduce
it as soon as possible into use in all the main-line
trains of the company, and from the high opinion
expressed of the invention, hot only by railway
officials, but by engineers and electricians, there
seems no doubt that if ever the difficult problem of
railway passenger communication is solved, it will
be by the apparatus of Mr. W. H. Preece.

PARIS, April 6.
The Emperor has decided that a bust of Mr.
Cobden shall be placed in the Museum at Ver-
sailles.

Almost at the same moment that Lord Palmer-
ston was paying a tribute of respect in the House of
Commons to the memory of the late Mr. Cobden
the Vice-President of the French Council of State,
M. de Forcade la Roquette, while speaking upon
the corn laws in France, concluded as follows. We
quote from the Moniteur

" Gentlemen,—ln this discussion upon the corn laws the
name of Sir Robert Peel has been mentioned ; but, to bo
just, it must not be forgotten that that great statesman was
inspired in his glorious undertaking by a man who has be-
come celebrated—Richard Cobden. This morning's mail
from England has brought the news of his death. (General
movement of regret.) Ido not think I am out of place in
a discussion upon the corn laws and the Treaty of Com-
merce in rendering a public homage to an illustrious
stranger. (Loud cheers.)
" M. Garnier-Pages—Tres bien ! Tres bier !
_ _

_ .
"M. Auguste Chevalier—We all join in the expression
of regret. (Yes, yes! from the other members.)
"Since Fox (continued M. de Forcade La Roquette) no
statesman in England has shown a more sincere and
cordial affection to France. (Applause.) He exerted all
his energies to set aside the dissensions and jealousies which
for so long a period separated the two countries ; he did all
he could to strengthen the alliance between France and
England, an alliance rich in its results, and so necessary
to the progress of the civilisation of the world. (Loud ap-
plause.)

" His death (continued M. do Forcade La Roquette) is
not a calamity for England alone, but also for France,
which deeply regrets his loss, and joins in the universal
regret which it has occasioned. (' Yes, yes!' from every
part of the:House).
_ _

" M. Glais Bizoin.—Yes, let England know that our re-
grets are unanimous. (Cheers and loud applause.)
The House then adjourned."

The folloWing notice appeared in the Cloak-room
of the House of Commons :

"The funeral of Mr. Cobden will take place at Laving-
ton Church, Midhurst, on Friday next, the 7th inst., at. 1
p.m. For the convenience of those who may bo desirous of
attending, a special train will leave the Waterloo station at
9.40 a.m., and return to London at 3.45 p.m. Tickets can
be obtained by application to the Secretary of the South-
Western Railway, Waterloo station."

Yesterday morning at a meeting of the city coun-
cil, at Manchester, the mayor (Mr. Bennett) asked
for a suspension of business in order that they might
pay a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Cobden.
He then moved That the council has heard with
deep and unfeigned grief of the sudden and unex-
pected death of Mr. Richard Cobden, M.P. While
fully sympathising in the regret universally felt by
the nation for the loss of one of its most distin-
guished statesmen, by whose exertions inestimable
and enduring benefits have been rendered to his
country, this council feel called upon in an especial
manner, to record their grateful recollection of the
many important advantages conferred upon the city
by the late Mr. Cobden, who it will ever be their
pride to remember as one to whom this city is largely
indebted for obtaining the grant, and subsequently
securing the establishment, of the charter of incor-
poration ; and as an active and influential member
of the first elected council. That this council desire
to offer to Mrs. Cobden and the members of her
family the respectful assurance of sincere condolence
and heartfelt sympathy in their deep affliction."
Sir E. ARMITAGE seconded the motion, and, after
observations from Mr. Romney, Mr. Heywood, and
Mr. Goadsby, in the course of which it was sug-
gested that, as far as convenient, business should be
suspended and shops and warehouses closed on the
day of Mr. Cobden2s funeral, the resolution passed
unanimously. It was subsequently arranged that.the
Mayor, the ex-Mayor, and Sir E. Armitage attend
the funeral on behalf of the corporation.
The,Salford Corporation have arranged that the
Mayor and ex-Mayor of that borough should repre-
sent it at the funeral. At a meeting of the Manches-
ter Chamber of Commerce yesterday a resolution of
similar purport to that agreed upon by the cor-
poration was adopted, and Mr. Malcolm Ross, presi-
dent, Mr. John Holliday, vice-president, and Mr.
Fleming, secretary, were requested to attend tho
funeral on behalf of the Chamber.

glad

he
was
sent
wa'r'eMhcrai. s
on matters of business to many of the houses with
which his firm was connected. Among those he so
visited was Mr. John Lewis, of 101, Oxford-street.
Mr. Lewis conceived a liking for the young man on
account of the smart and business-like manner in
which he used to come to his house and transact
whatever he had to do, and often gave him a few
kind words. One day young Cobden came to him,
and with some hesitation told him that he and two of
his comrades, young men like himself, had heard of
a business near Manchester, which a gentleman was
retiring from, and the plant of which was to be had
for £1,500 ; this sum the three had agreed to raise
amongthem, but Cobden had no friends to help him
. with his quota, and therefore he ventured to ask Mr.
Lewis if he would do so. Mr. Lewis, from his par-
tiality to him, at once assented ; and Cobdenleft him
in high spirit. But soon after he called again, with
a long face, to say his colleagues had not been able
to raise their £5OO each. After a while, however, he
came again to state that the owner of the business
in question, having heard favourably of the trio,
agreed to let them have it for Cobden's £5OO. Would
Mr. Lewis still let him have the money ? Mr. Lewis
very kindly complied, and the three shortly after
began the world together. The £5OO was speedily
repaid ; and, after a very few years, one and then
another of the partners drew out of the business with
a handsome fortune, and Richard Cobden came to
be what he was. The foregoing particulars were
related-to the writer by Mr. Lewis, who retired.fren,
business about 25 years ago, and subsequently died
in Madeira."
