dual stockholders. On the other hand, railroad corpora-
tions, by means of the great powers granted to them, are
building up a system of intercommunication so superior to
1 all others as to compel its exclusive use by the community.
There were 2,500,000 tons of freight and 10,000,000 pas-
sengers carried upon our railroads in the past year, and
there is already invested in them the enormous sum of
100,000,000 dollars. This amount must be greatly augmen-
ted for some years to come, in laying down double tracks
...0
in completing roads already commenced, and in construct-
ing others that uow are, or may be hereafter, projected.
They will soon monopolise the entire passenger and a portion
fthelreight transportation of the State. They must move
our troops and munitions in time of war, and perform the
mail service. ' Their management, therefore, involves
public and social interests of vast magnitude;' and although
much praise is due to the individual enterprise that has so
rapitly developed this great element of social progress, it
must be borne in mind that these associations owe their
origin to the Legislative will, and the great public interests
affected by their operations make it the duty of the State
to exercise a careful supervision over them ; and, if re-
quired, to modify their powers from time to time.
"If these views show the necessity of supervision, we
are next to inquire in what manner it should be exercised.
Should authority be given to interfere with the details of
railroad management, to regulate the running of trains, to
arrange time-tables, to appoint and remove, or otherwise
punish employes, for neglect or violation of duty, &e., it is
possible that instances may incur where interference of this
kind might be necessary ; but the committee can see many
reasons why recourse should not be had to it, at least until
it shall become apparent that the object in view cannot be
attained by other means. The working of a railroad re-
quired the accurate arrangement of a great variety of de-
tails, and a prompt discharge of all the duties assigned to
the several departments of its management. To divide the
authority . from which the regulations -necessary to effect
these objects must emanate would give rise to confusion
and embarrassments, engender bad feelings and hostility on
tha part of companies, take from the officers their pun-
sibility, and might result disastrously for the safety of the
public.
" The committee, therefore, entertains doubt as to the
beneficial results of any legislation at this time having for
its object direct interference. They rare, however, of
opinion that the public safety and welfare would be en-
hanced by placing railroads under the rigid supervision of
the State, giving the authority created for that purpose
such powers as will enable it to obtain • full information
in regard to the management of all corporations formed
for such purposes; to see that their Corporate powers
are not exceeded, to the injury of the public, and that the
legal requirements in relation to them are fully complied
with ; to call for the most accurate returns and statistics ;
and to give the most ample and unreserved publicity to all
the details of their operations, for the purpose of enabling
the community to judge from the representations of re-
sponsible and disinterested authority of the skill and fidelity
of their management. Power should also be given to inves-
tigate and ascertain all the facts and circumstances in rela-
tion to casualties, with a view to suggesting the best means
of preventing their recurrence, as well as to protect com-
panies upon whose lines they occur against false statements
and misrepresentations in relation thereto. Such authority,
properly constituted, with ample powers of supervision,
would, in the opinion of the committee, be enabled to cor-
rect many of the abuses of railroad management, merely by
investigating them thoroughly, and bringing them before
the community. Their publicity would of itself suggest
the remedy, and public sentiment would soon compel its
application. _ . _

Should this, however, prove insufficient, the informa-
tion and facts thus carefully obtained and reported annually
to the Legislature would form a reliable basis far any fur-
ther enactments that might from time to time be deemed
necessary for the public safety and welfare, care being
taken to impose no unjust restraints upon the individual
energy and enterprise to which so much is due for the rapid
growth of our railroad system; to lay no obstruction in the
way of this mighty engine of industrial progress, but rather
to guide it in such a manner that the whole people may
enjoy, to the fullest possible extent, the countless benefits
developed in its ownward careeer.

THE RECENT STRIKE OF RAILWAY PORTERS AT LIVER-
POOL.— The operatives employed on the London and
North-Western Railway at Liverpool, whose strike for
higher wages was noticed yesterday, held several meet-
ings during Thursday, upon the King's Pierhead, Liver-
pool, where speeches were delivered, and deputations
formed to wait upon the managers of the railway, to
settle matters amicably. In this they were unsuccessful,
as Mr. Cochrane and Mr. B. Poole refused to accede to
their demands. We understand that Mr. Poole; who
advertised for 500 hands on Thursday, received applica-
tions from nearly double that number. The men have
conducted themselves since their turn-out very peace-
ably and quietly, and are to hold another meeting on the
King's Pierhead this (Saturday) morning.
A MAN GORED TO DEATH BY AN Ox.—A fatal occur
i:enee took place on the Gloucester road, four or five
miles from Bath, on Thursday. On the previous night
two beasts belonging to Messrs. Chalker and Singer,
butchers, of Bath, were being driven towards that city,
when one of them became too tired to proceed, and was
placed in a field, the other being driven on to Bath. On
Thursday morning a lad was sent out after the other ox,
and his father, George Hurford, accompanied him. They
succeeded in getting the animal out of the field, and it
proceeded some distance quietly, but suddenly it turned
upon the drovers, and running at the poor man Hurford,
fixed him against a wall, where the beast continued to
gore him until he fell a corpse. The boy fortunately
effected his escape, and the ox having expended -its rage
upon the father, burst into a -field and roamed about till
the afternoon in an infuriated state, when it was shot.
EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF A LADY.--On Thursday
evening, Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, held an inquest at
the Duke of Clarence Tavern, Orchard-road, Hackney,
on view of the body of Miss Elizabeth Barron, aged 47
years, a lady of independent property, who committed
suicide under the following circumstances :—Ann Bar-
ron, of Grove-cottage, Orchard-road, Hackney, said that
deceased was her sister. She was single, and had been
rather depressed for some time past. Witness could not
account for her low state of mind, as she was very reli-
gious, and never threatened to commit any violence.
On Sunday evening last the deceased and witness re-
turned from chapel, and after they had sat together in
conversation, the deceased wished to sleep with witness,
which was unusual. They subsequently retired to rest,
and on the following morning (Monday) witness rose at
seven o'clock, leaving the deceased asleep ; but, some-
time afterwards, when witness returned to call her for
breakfast, she discovered the deceased suspended by a
piece of rope to the iron rail of the bedstead. Deceased
was in her night-dress, and witness ran out for assist-
ance, when a Mrs. Snow and one of the servants cut the
deceased down, but they said she was dead. The de-
ceased was in the habit of reading a great deal, and was
to have been married on Good Friday to a gentleman of
fortune, residing at Islington. They had parted on the
last meeting in a very friendly manner, and were always
on the most amicable terms. Mr. Henry Tolman, sur-
geon, of Hackney, said he was called to the deceased,
but on his arrival at the house he found her quite dead
and cold. She had died from suffocation by hanging,
and there was a deep mark or indentation round the
deceased's neck, as if she bad been suspended by a rope.
Istac Chapman, the gardener to the family, having given
confirmatory evidence ; the Coroner remarked on the
principal points of the case ; after which the jury re-
turned a verdict of temporary insanity.
SHOCKING Loss OF LIFE.—DEAL, THURSDAY NIGHT.
—A most melancholy occurrence was made known here
this evening, which has created much regret. Three
brave and hardy men, who have often distinguished
themselves by saving human life from wrecks on the
Goodwin, having met with a lamentable death by their
craft capsizing in a snow squall in the Gull stream.
Their boat was the hovelling lugger' the 'Victoria and
the names of the men were Thomas Bowbegres, George
Thompson, and another, with Thomas Thompson (father
of George Thompson, about 50 years of age, and an ex-
perienced boatman), and Edward Greigs. They pushed
off in the lugger from the beach about nine o'clock in

morning. About eleven o'clock they were cruising in
the Gull stream, when a brig was observed to heave to
and hoist her colours. At the moment, another boat,
belonging to Deal, happened to be close on Thompson's
boat, and the Fawn requiring a band Edward Greigs
jumped in, and the Fawn immediately bore up for the
brig. On approaching within hail of the brig, the cap-
tain beckoned to something that had befell the Victoria,
and on looking astern they saw that the lugger was
foundering. They bore round and made all haste to the
spot, but only arrived in time to save the elder Thomp-
son, who was swimming ; the others had disappeared,
with their lugger, and had perished. Thompson was
found to be in a very exhausted state when picked up.
He was taken to Ramsgate. The sufferers were all
married men, and have left large families. It is sin-
cerely hoped that those who have the means will attempt
in some measure to provide for the helpless widows and
orphans.

THE WEATHER IN IRELAND.—The harsh and unsea-
sonable weather is still the principal theme of conversa-
tion, aid occupies every one's attention ; and the ac-
counts from all parts of the country show that there are
no local exceptions to its prevalence. The Limerick
Chronicle says :
" Cold north-east winds and severe
frost indicate the hard complexion of this month. Rude
health can brave with impunity the parching dry atinos-
' pliers that reigns out of doors, but to the aged and inva-
lid this inclement season is most distressing. One of the
severest and most protracted winters on record has ne-
cessarily retaraed all agricultural operations, and we
' must be content to expect a very late, though we may
hope a good and sufficient, harvest in all green and cereal
crops, excepting wheat." A Mayo paper thus complains
on the some subject :—" We never recollect so unpro-
pitious a spring as the present. Farming operations are
at a stand-still, and up to the present we believe there
has not been a fractional portion of the corn sown as has
been usual at this period of the year. Potato planting
is also much retarded by the severe frosts and heavy
showers of snow. The wheat crop looks exceedingly
delicate, notwithstanding that every advantage is taken
of fine days ; still we fear that there will be a consider.

BRADFORD, March 24.—W00l—A great quantity of
all kinds of coming wools has changed hands within the
last ten days, and at high rates, compared with this
period last year. This move is no doubt from the fact
of the absorption of the purchases made at the end of last
year, and a desire to secure a supply of good class wool,
which this market is exceedingly low of, particularly in
wethers and wether sorts, which have been in continued
request. Down tegs and diamond matchings are not abun-
dant ; half-bred hogs have been less called for, and may
be found in greater plenty than other sorts. On the
whole, there is an unsatifactory state of things, the con-
sumption being too close on the supply, and the account 4
from the wool-growing districts add nothing of a more
cheering character, the cold and wet season having been
against the flock owners. Noils and brokes are now
getting scarce ; the high price that wool is commanding
tends to limit the quantity making. Yarus—The sup-

new boiler. The benefit of the removal of the tube-ends
in the new boiler, from the direct action of the fire, was

considered to be more than balanced by the liability of
the lower part of the combustion-chamber to become

over-heated: and to be burned away, owing to the lodging
of steam, at the junction with the fire-box. It was

suggested that, in order to obtain results from the new
engine, the combustion-chamber should be abolished, the

number of the tubes should be reduced, and their length be

extended to the fire-box, which should be restricted to 16
square feet of area. It was further argued that, in the
statement of "actual working results, &c., ' the formula had
been misunderstood and wrongly applied ; for instance,
in the two Crewe engines, of identical proportions, the re-

sults of the formula were stated as 86.2, 844, and 73'7,
whereas the same results ought to have been applied to

each. In No. 291 engine a;imilar discrepancy- was ap-
parent, the results being 116.5 and 102/. In the ex-
periments themselves there were several unexplained
anomalies, and in some instances the engines, instead of

working at their full power, were performing very in-
adequate duty, and therefor under circumstances to
which the formula was not intended to apply. In the
case of the altered goods engine, No. 125, it was urged
that in its original state the engine must have been
either in a very inefficient condition, or that its duty
must have been chiefly confined -to piloting, when it
would have been consuming the fuel, without-producing
any useful effect ; as a consumption of 51 lbs. or 58 lbs.
per mile run, with an average train of 115 tons, was out
of all proportion. That the result of the working, after
alteration—viz., a consumption of 89 lbs. and 43 lbs.

The fireman who, on the morning of the explosion,
succeeded the night fireman Hazell, stated to the jury
that Hazell, on coming up, reported all safe and free
from gas, though he did not particulary report on the
east side, where the explosion afterwards occurred.
Boys were placed at the heading doors, but not at the
stall doors, though be considered that men should be put
to perform that work--not boys. When he went down
he examined the various headings, to ascertain if the
workings were free from gas. This he tested with his
lamp—first with the gauze on, and then without it. He
thoroughly examined into every working, and found all
safe ; though in one quarter he found a " blower," or
indication of gas in thesoof. Throughout the day the
workings were still considered safe by him ; bat, not-
withstanding all the precautions which he had, as usual,
adopted, an explosion took place in the afternoon, just
about the time when, on Saturdays, the men ordinarily
prepared to ascend from work.
The mineral agent of the works, Mr. Green, described
the routine of operations adopted by him, and all under
him, who had the control and management of the works,
for the due supply of air, the thorough ventilation of
the pits, and the enforcing of strict rules with regard to
the working by light of the Davy lamp. The men, how-
ever, when the works were found free from gas, ordi-
narily worked with candles, as by the former mode it
would be impossible to procure an existence.
Some witnesses followed, whose evidence went chiefly
to point out the circumstances attendant on the explo-
sion, and the position, &c., in which the bodies of the
dead were found. From all these men there was not the
slightest difficulty in obtaining the most free admission
of the fact that, although the seam of coal was a highly
inflammable one, and scores of men had met their death
in working it, there was still no hesitation among the
colliers generally to work it, after the morning examina-
tion by the firemen, with their naked lights. They as
generally admitted that the ventilation of the pits was
as good as could be procured by machinery, and the
machinery had been put up under the direction of the
most experienced men, and upon the best principles.
The jury having consulted for a short time upon the
facts, which were clearly laid before them by the Deputy.
Coroner—namely, that the workings had been pro-
nounced free from gas in the morning ; that the men
Davies and Williams' working together in a stall, had
incautiously removed a sheet, and diverted the current
of intake air, and that thereby, in a part of a working
through which they were passing out with naked candles
on leaving work gas had accumulated, which gas, coming
into collision with the candles, had itaploded, causing the
deaths of all those whose lives had been destroyed—re-
turned a verdict in accordance therewith, and attributing
the deaths of the poor fellows to the negligence of Davies,
which verdict, had Davies been still living, would have
amounted to manslaughter.

VICE-PRESIDENT KING. —The New York Herald given
the following sketch of the new Vice-President of the
United States :—" Vice-President William Rufus King
is a native of North Carolina, where he was born in
1786. He is consequently 67 years of age ; and such
is the precarious state of his health that it is doubt-
ful, if he should return to the United States from
his present visit to the West Indies, whether he
will be able to perform the duties of vice-president.
These are limited to presiding in the Senate ; and, in
his absence, the president pro tem. of that body, who is
elected by the senators, takes his place. Mr, Atchinson,
of Miseouri, is at present president pro tern. In case of
the death of the Vice-president, Mr. Atchinson would
remasn in the same position as at present, without
assuming the title, as the office would then be vacant ;
but in case of the death of both President and Vice-
President, the President of the Senate pro tem. becomes
President of the United States, until an election can be
held. This is according to the provisions of the Act of
Congress of March 1, 1792.
