A terrible accident happened at Covent
Garden Theatre on the 18th November. AT
few minutes before 2 o'clock. A letter
from Mr.. Fawcett, the manager, ascrbes the
disaster to the indscretion Of one of the
workmen employed in the cellar, who per-
forated small hole in the gasometer with
the view of burning it ont by which fire
was communicated TO the volatile oil in the
gasometer and thence to the gas floating in
the arched passages. Twelve or thirteen
persons wore in the neighborhood of the
gasometer, at the time when the fire was
communicated either to the gas. or the oil
which was floating upon the water, which
ran into the passages ankle deep. Two of
these unfortunate men were unable to mako

were terribly burnt but still living on the

was done to the theatre, except in the cellar.
twenty engines having been speedily
brought up to extinguish the fire.
The Beaufort Castle, fine vessel of four
hundred tons, sailed from Liverpool on the
18th February, for Bonny, on the coast Of
Africa, where she took in a cargo of palm
oil and ivory. On her homeward voyage.
on the 9Th Of October, she encountered 4
gale by which the Captain and TWENTY-FIVE
of the crew were washed into the sea. The
remaining eight men dashed themselves 10
The shrouds of the mizen-mast, and remain
ed without food on the wreck, driven about
at the mercy of the sea for four days, when
they were providentially rescued by a
French brig, LIE Cotoniero, bound to Bos-
ton, in the United States.

procured as low as $3.50. The usual rate
of insurance is about3 per cent. The low
est charge for freight of flour is 25 cents
per barrel, which with the addition of in
surance will make % or 80 cents.
If we add to the foregoing estimates of
the cost of transportation by Rail Road, 81
a ton, for tolls, a sum equal to trihe more
than half a centa mile, it will give $3.50
and S2,97 per ton. These rates on the
barrel of flour would be equal to % and 30
cents. Either rate would probably be low
enough to secure to the Rail Road the car
riage of all the -four between Albany and
Boston. But if these rates should be found
too high, reduction of five cents on "a bar
rel might he made by reducing the toll one
half. Other articles, being more costly,
pay higher amount of insurance, per ton,
when carried by sea, and consequently
would bear higher freight, when carried
by land, and higher rate of toll. All arti-
cles, also, conveyed to or from the interme-
date places, could well bear much higher
rate Of toll, than those which are carried
from one extreme to the other, because the
accommodation to those places is greater.
The cost of transportation by water, from
Springfield TO Boston or New York is great
er, and will lie, even when the Enfield locks
are completed, than from Albany to Boston
The cost by the Rail Road will not exceed
half this amount, and consequently all arti-
Giles brought upon it from the Connecticut
River to Boston, may pay double the toll
above mentioned, and the cost of convey
ance will still be less, than the lowest rate
of freight by water. Timber, frewood, and
the most bulky descriptions of agricultural
produce may be brought upor the Ran
Road, and well afford to par the highest
rates of toll here mentioned viz: a cent
mile per ton.
The next subject to Re considered, is the
adoption of the proposed Rail Roads to the
conveyance of passengers. An active horse
may travel IL or 10 miles day, at the rate
of 8 miles ap hour, including the necessary
stops, and drawing with force equal to
raising a weight of % lbs. This power
would be sufficient to draw on Rail Road
of the description above supposed, weight
of p tons, or a carriage with 20 passengers,
with their baggage. On this assumption,
the estimate cost of transporting passengers
by the Rail Road, between Boston and AL
bany, if provided with stationary powers
will be as follows:

BY adding the distance, at different rates
of inclination between the western border
of the State and Albany, as obtained from
the survey of 1927, we find that the charac-
ter of the route between Boston and Alba
ny, will be as follows: In travelling from
Boston to Albany, :he parts of the Roads
,,,hich
The Massachusetts spy, and Worcester County advertiser. [volume] ([Worcester, Mass.]) 1825-1831, 1829-01-21

These estimates are intended to show
the cost, exclusive of tolls, at which heavy
articles, paying the lowest rates of freight,
and of which it may be presumed there will
in general be sufficient quantity to employ
the regular carriers, so that not much loss
may be sustained from want of freight
These rates are perhaps lower than the
cost of transportation on any of the canals
in this country, and lower than the average
rates on the Rail Roads in Great Britain !;
but very little lower than the rates charged
for freight including tolls, on the principal
articles of transportation on the Stockton
and Darlington Rail Road, although the
cost of locomotive power there used, is
greater than that Of horse power in this
country.
The customary rates of freight by sloop
navigation, between Boston and Albany
are from to "a per ton, but it is sometimes

of the estimates, would be S2,63S, 62S Ga,
and of carrying it to the city Of Albany,
S3,254, $40 as.
No particular estimate has been made of
the cost Of land, damages to private proper
ty, the cost of fences, and of stone in the
quarry. The amount of damage will be
small, and there is reason to believe that,
in most cases, none will be claimed. What
ever it may be, the allowance of ten per
cent. included in the estimate, it is presum-
ed, will be sufficient to cover it, with all
other contingencies.
The inclination of the different parts of
the Road, from Boston TO the border of the
State, as it is laid out for the estimates, is
as follows:
Level, 9miles, in IL unequal sections,
Inclining from)
l to 26 feet SO 90
per mile,
Do. 26 to 50 feet, 80 - II
Do. 50 to so feet, 43I AZ
The Massachusetts spy, and Worcester County advertiser. [volume] ([Worcester, Mass.]) 1825-1831, 1829-01-21
Add so per cont,


To each estimate add 81 for toll, and it
will make S2,82, or 1906 for conveyance
from Boston 30 Albany in ~ hours.
The cost of transportation on Rail
Road in this country, by-horse power, will
be less than in England, by either horse or
steam power. The cost of oats and other
food for horses in England, in general, is
nearly double its cost in this country, and
that of this description of animal power
must therefore be greater in nearly the
same proportion.
The lowest rate tonnage on the Darling
ton Rail way, embracing the principal trans
port, where there is very little return freight,
is but trifle higher than our estimate of
the cost of transportation per mile, exclusive
Of toll, on Rail Road from Boston to AL
bany yet the profits of this transportation
pay higher dividend on the cost of he

cover the cost of further surveys, supern-
tendence, and unforeseen contingencies. the
whole estimate viii he $16,434 II per:mile.

Or if we suppose the Road to be con-
structed without stationary powers, two
horses will be required instead of one on
those stages which include the steepest
parts of the Road to the number perhaps of
six additional horses, in which case the es-
innate will be
