be would acquire a knowledge of the internal structure
cf the latlgiD,ges. The Gieek languege was compound( d
of several dialects, each of which was, fur the most
part, devoted to a distiuct style of composition. This
was a peculiarity which distinguished the literature of
We Greeks from that of almost all other nations. The
Latin langenge did not possess the same variety. It did
not pc,,ess that exquisite adaptation to every farm of
composition, but this was, in one point of view, its chief
merit. The'very perfection of the Greek language, its
close connexion with the Greek soil - and. climate;
bed prevented
,its adoption elsewhere, and had its
noble literature been left,' to itself it would have been
lost, never to be recovered. The Latin, on the other
hand, abrupt, but concise and vigorous, was the natural
companion of the Roman Genius, and had extended itself
simultaneously with the,progress of the Roman con-
quests. The'Frencli; Sptleish, Portuguese, and Italian
langugg4were little else than dialects of the old Latin.

pupil in his future pursuits in life. ,The answer he would
make to this objection, pitadoxieal as it might sound,
was this: it. •was precisely because such studies would
not be useful in that sense that they ought to be so sedu-

ACCIDENT AT THE NEW-CROSS RAILWAY

STATION.

A very alarming accident occurred. yesterday morning to
the 7 30 A.M. Parliamentary down-train on the South-East-
ern Railway. The train left the London-bridge terminus
within three minutes of the proper time for its departure,
and proceeded safely past the Bricklayer's-Arms Junction at
the usual rate of speed—about 18 miles per hour. It had
crossed the junction points, and, propelled by two loco-
motives, was rapidly passing on to the New-cross incline,
when the first engine came suddenly into contact with a
Brighton coal train, which by some unaccountable negligence
was at the moment being shunted from the Surrey
Canal " siding" on to the down line. The collision was a
very severe one, and occasioned great alarm among the pas-
sengers, of whom, as usual in this train, there was a very
large number. Both the engines of the passenger-train
were disabled, one of them was almost shattered to pieces,
and four or five of the coal trucks were destroyed. As soon
as the shock occasioned by the collision had subsided, those
passengers who had sustained the most serious injury, two
ladies and one gentleman, were removed from the train,
and conveyed back to London. The down train
itself, propelled by a new engine as soon as the debris
occasiened by the collision had been cleared away, pro-
ceeded on to Dover without further mishap: The injured
passengers, on their return to the London-bridge terminus,
were received by the company's officials, by whom every
possible attention was paid to them. At their own request
they were conveyed to Burrell's Bridge-house Hotel, where
Mr. Parker, a medical gentleman, resident in Tooley-street,
immediately attended to render them all the assistance ire his
power. The names of the persons are—M. and Mademoiselle
Vantini, the son and daughter of M. Vantini; formerly pro-
prietor of the Pavilion Hotel, at Folkestone; and a Miss
Wollaston, a friend of Mademoiselle Vantini. Miss Wollas-
ton has a slight contused wound on the forehead, and Made-
moiselle Vantini has sustained some injury .on' the upper lip.
The gentleman is fortunately not much hurt, and we be-
lieve it may be said that the shock and fright of the collision
is the most serious part of the matter with all the sufferers.
The ladies remained at the Bridge-house Hotel last night,
but M. Vantini was sufficiently recovered to return home.
Mr. Macgregor, the chairman, and Captain Barlow, the new
manager, were most assiduous in their attentions and inqui-
ries yesterday. A rigid inqUiry has been set on foot to"ascer-
tain the cause of the catastrophe. •

RAIL WAY ISITELLIGENCE.
EASTERN COLNTIES RAILWAY.
The report of the comuittee of shareholders in refer•
enca to a working agreement wth the Eastern Union
and Norfolk Railway Companies' has just been issued.
It states that although `Vey have not been enabled to
carry out to the`full extOf
t the object of their appoint-
ment, namelyelbit they should " settle the terms" of a
working agreement betVeeia the three companies, the
committee havee'neverthehs, collected iefornaation of a
nature calculated to thrby considerable light upon the
question, and to aid in prtvoting a fair and sound deter-
mination upon it. They :n the first instance proceeded
to ascertain the data upas which the directors had re-
commended the sletirehokers to confirm' the agreement
for working the.> three Ines. The guarantees of the
Eastern Union CoMpany Vere put down at 70,0001. per
annum in the pcopessd,tgreernent, but the committee
discovered that that suneled not include the liability of
the Eastern Union pomppy to pay to the Stour Valley
Railway a fixed interest se the capital employed iu the
construction of that, line., amounting to about 9,0001. a
year, and else theirliabiley to the rentals of the Stow-
market and Lark.Navigefions of about 1,500/., making
together 10,500/. per anntea. The committee examined
the following officers of tie company on the subject:—
Mr.' IL Moseley, the :Nods manager; Mr,. Gooch,
locomotive superintendent; Mr. Richardson, coaching
superintendent; and hrt! Ashcroft,,' superintendent of
way and works. OR her requested to state to the
committee the nature the details of information
furnished by theme to. the deputation of directors,
these gentlemen declaredehat they had not been called
upon for, nor had, the) rendered, any information
whatever relative 'fa the subject 'of the proposed
agreement either'. to 01'0 board or the deputation;
and Mr. Moseley'' stated that he was uot aware
of the intended =erve twill two days after it had been
concluded. The coniniitteeelso separately examined each
of these officers in rekt•enc4 to the prObable effect of a joint
working agreemeneen the earnings and expenses of his
particular department; andthey were eventuallyrequested
by the committee to make a joint report of the result of
their deliberations: This tilt); accordingly did, and from tha
document furnished' to tie committee it appeared that
while these officers> agreed upon the desirableness of
working the three libel tinier one management, they did
not think that such au arrangement would produce any
increase in the tote gross receipts; but that the mileage
run might be real* -y about 130,000 miles per
annum, equal, as 'they 'estimate, to a, money saving in
working and all other, expenses, at the rate of 2s. per
mile, of 13,000/e Thee_ also estimate a further
saving, to arise from tie consolidation of stations,
locomotive shops, andsupervision generally, of 3.000/,
making a total estimated' annual saving of 16,0001.
Mr. Moseley stated,that the concessions (by way of re-
bate and cheaper rates) M de to customers, arising out
of the cempetitionlOkifee oods traffic between Norwich
and London, have not elutlg'the past year exceeded the
sum' of 300/. He eller expressed an opinion that the gross
earnings in his departneoA might be increased under a
joint working, in respect of goods and cattle, to the ex-
tent of some 5,0001. ,per Annual, by raising rates and
procuring goods to be carried on the line which are
now carried coastwise; but that such probable in-
crease would be much mire than counterbalanced by
the abstraction of traffic 'from . this company by com-
peting lines. From theatttement furnished to the com-
mittee by Mr. Quilter, it appeared that the amount of
guarantees, according CO tie? heads of the proposed agree-
ment, would be=—for the Eastern Counties, 266,0001.; for
the Norfolk, 60,000/ ; arid for the Eastern Union 70,0001.
Add to the Norfolk 10.00%, and Eastern Union 6,000/.,
and deduct the same from ethe Eastern Counties, being
the 'estimated interest which the latter company will
have to pay on the capital to be invested in the pur-
chase of the rolling stock, Ste., of the two
former companies, and adding to the Eastern Union
for rentals 10,5001., would allow the Eastern Counties
250,000/., the Norfolk 70,0001., and the Eastern Union
86,500/, The committee seite that these appear to be the
real sums at which the fixed charges payable out of the
common earnings ought to bestated in estimating the effect
upon Eastern Counties' interests of the operation of the
proposed agreement, otherwise the effect of the purchase
of the rolling stock for the traffic of the united lines by
one company (the Eestern counties) would be to give
`a. proportionate participation in
cestributing no rolling stock to

illy the sum of 35,4251. From
this latter sum, 2-8 the other two companies to the
vvoeld be deducted for the Norfolk
and Eastern Union Companies, amounting to 8,8561.,
and which added to theNlefleit of 62,0221., would show
the loss entailed upon the Eastern Counties Company by
the proposed arrangement to be 70,8781. After a
deliberate consideration Of the evidence adduced the
committee have come to the conclusion that the terms
of the. proposed agreement are not based upon
en equitable regard for the interests of the
Eastern . Counties. Company, and that if adopted and
carried into execution, a serious and permanent
injury would thereby be inflicted upon the property.
The committee, therefore, strongly, and without he-
sitation, recommend for the shareholders that they do
not confirm the proposed' agreement. The committee
state that they would fail in their duty if they did not
express their opinion that the proceedings of the
board of directors In respect of this measure do not
appear to have been" characterized by that caution
end deliberation which were due to its magnitude
as - a commercial question,
and wpteially to its vitll
importance as affecting the extensive interests intrusted
to their keeping. But while the committee recommend
the non-adoption of the terms proposed, they attach a
high degree of importance to the establishment of an
equitable working agreement, not only with the Eastern
Union and Norfolk Companies, but also with other lines
in the eastern restricts, and for the accomplishment of
which they think that this company should be pre.
pared to enter into liberal arrangements. Acting upon
this view, the committee have oeened a communication
with the directors of the two former companies, and have
taken steps with the view of bringing about a conference
with the Newmarket and Chesterford Company.
Proxies 'having been granted by a considerable number
of the shareholders with the view of supporting the
adoption of the proposed agreement, the committee con-
sider it highly exexpedient that such proxies should be
withdrawn, and accordingly recommend their forma!
o I
revocation.
