In reference to the grants for improving the harbours of Toulon
and Part Vendre, the Presse asks—" Why is Havre overlooked,
when it Is obvious that in the collision which appears the most im-
minent, that harbour would be the chief point menaced along the
t oast ? In forty-eight hours an English fleet could burn Havre,
annihilate the immense commercial riches accumulated there, and
ravage all the other towns on the coast of the Channcl and the
Atlantic. And, nevertheless, a contingency so possible, and per-
haps so little remote, attracts no attention."

The Paris jourLals give the following comparative account of

accidents upon the Paris railroads, and those which took place

between September 10, 1940, and June 10, 1843, 2,200,000 per-
sons, of whom only one was injured. On that of St. Germain
there were carried from August, 1937, to September, 1944,
upwards of 6,000,000 persons, of whom only one was killed.
In 1842, the proportion of wounded and bruised was not more
than one in every 100,000. According to an official return of
the six Paris railways, the total length of which is upwards of 340
kilometres (85 leagues, or about 206 miles), there ran from the Ist
January to the 30th June, 1843, no fewer than 18,466 trains,
carrying 1,889,718 passengers, who travelled over 510,215 kilo-
metres (about 127,554 leagues, or 308,935 miles), not a single
passenger was either killed or hurt. Three of the men employed

on the roads were the only victims." The total number of
per-
sons killed by accidents from stage-coaches connected with Paris
during six years, ending 1840, was 74, and nearly 2,000 wounded.

reflected upon him the most indelible disgrace and infamy. lie

ciently strong to justify his committal upon the charge, and should
in the meantime require him to enter into his own recognizance
in 2001. and find two resionsible sureties in 1001. each for his ap-
pearance on a future day.
