GRONINGEN, MARCH 16.—We understand that it is
in contemplation to establish a direct communication be.
tween this city and London. When the great meast.-:.
of Sir Robert Peel, the reform of the English tariff, has
passed, as in all probability it will, the Uprr House,
it will have a favourable effect on the price of our pro-
ductions, and on their exportation, so that a direct
communication with England will be of great
importance to our provinces. What an influence the
general reform of the English tariff will have, is already
seen by the considerable increase in the price of cattle
in consequence of the reduction of the duties on impor-
tation, and the prospect of their entire abolition in the
sequel. When part of our productions find easy admit-
ance into England we shall never have to fear a want of
exportation, since all our articles, if the proje9ted reform
of the tariff take place, will find a ready market in Eng-
land ; and even many things, which hitherto could not
be thought, may become articles of exportation when a
regular communication by steam-boats between this city
and London is established.

THE HAGUE, MARCH IL—Mr. G. 11. Goun'iie, Con-
sul-General of the United States of America, has given
notice in the public journals that the state of New York
has issuefl an ordinance by which the captains and
owners of ships shall be answerable for two years for
the subsistence of the emigrants that they bring. This
law has become necessary in consequence of the great
number of indigent emigrants that crowd the public
houses in New York. _ _ _

BRESLAU, MARCH 14.—(From the Breslau Gazette.)

tecting powers, Count Wrbna, for Austria ; General

mained in the occupation of Austrian troops alone ; the

IMPORTANT CASE.

~-

EDINBURGH JURY COURT.—THE LATE ACCIDENT
ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.
The following issue was set down for trial at the last
Christmas sittings in the second division of the Court, before
the Lord Justice-Clerk :

Issue in the cause in which Charles Morton, W.S., factor
loco tutoris to Mary Coolley and Thomas Coolley, children of
the deceased Thomas Cooney, innkeeper, and wine and spirit
merchant, and horse-dealer in Glasgow, is pursuer;
And the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company are
defenders.

It being admitted that, on or about the 19th day of May,
1845, the said deceased Thomas Cooney was killed, while
passing from Glasgow to Edinburgh, in a railway carriage
belonging to the defenders—
Whether the death of the said Thomas Coolley was caused
by fault, negligence, or want of skill, on the part of the de-
defenders, or others, or another in their employment, and
for whom they were, and are, responsible, to the loss, injury,
and damage of the said Mary Coolley and Thomas Coolley,
or either of them ?

A few da3 s before the trial, terms of compromise were
offered and entertained, and the ease was finally disposed of
in the court, by the defenders agreeing to pay the pursuer
2,000/. of damages, with all the expenses he had incurred.
