an average fare of q cents 3 mile. There on
every English road as in fact every railroad
throughout Europe three classes of cars the fare OF
the first class being as much again as that OF the
third and half as much again as that of the second
he second class passengers in England are much
more numerous than any other, they numbering last
year more than three times as many as the frst
class, and the disparity is constantly increasing
The total receipts of all the railroads in Great Bril-
tain and Ireland last year. amounted to S55000,00O
the number of persons permanently employed up
on them was 159. 7S4. During the last six months
of l849. the number of persons who suffered from
accidents all the railroads of the United Kingdom
was 2l8, of whom 106 died on account of their in
uries which is the proportion of one fatal accident
to every 32l 900 persons travelling. This affords
most remarkable contrast in the comparative safety
of railway and marine travelling, the individuals
drowned in the latter being have before stat

The canals of Great Britain and Ireland about
$500 miles in length, those of the United States
about 1000. They were constructed at an expense
Of about $175 100000 about onetenth the cost OF

constructed in the United Kingdom since the year

An Executive Anecdotc,

The following anecdote is told in letter from the
Washington correspondent of Tuesdays Richmond
Enquirer 1t confers credit the President, and it
gives us pleasure to transfer it to our columns:
GA distinguished gentleman from the West-an
ex-senator-called on Mr.. Fillmore, and, after ex-
changing the usual courteses asked by the Pre-
sdent how the fugitiyeslave bill received in the
West. The reply was, that the law, although I'M
popular in his State, would doubtless be enforced
The remark was playfully made that, the Presi-
dent was sworn to preserve protect and defend the
constitution and laws he (the EX-SENATOR presumed
Mr.. Fillmore would execute this lar. TO the very
letter, SIR the instant reply of the President
to the very letter. sir whatever may be the conse-
quences.' This reply was worthy the palmiest days
of Old Hickory HIMSELF
ANOTHER ANEcDoTE.-lt gives us pleasure to state
another anecdote about the President. for which we
vouch, we had it from two gentlemen of the West
with whom the President had just been in converse
ton yesterday morning. They applying to him
for the appointment of gentleman as attorney for
the United States in of the Western States At
ter discussing the qualifications of the candidate.
Mr.. Fillmore remarked that there was another thing
which he deemed indispensable. He said he was de-
termned to execute faithfully the fugtive-save law
and would appoint man to Office, who might be
called upon to assist in the administration of that
law who would not zealousy cooperate in its exc
cution.
On another occasion we understand, from good au-
thority that the President declared the law should
be executed at every hazard-even at the risk of
blood
This is the spirit alone in which the Union can be
preserved Washington Union 3la vL.

IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM ENGINEs.-A trial has
been made at Charleroi of newly invented engine:
the motive power of which operates in completely
different manner from that now in use The inyen-
tor, Mr.. Hector de Calais Sandman engineer pro-
poses by his plan to increase the speed Of locomo-
tives to give them adherence four times greater
than they have, and to decrease the expense OF
fuel. The machine, which is called after King
Charles Albert promises to realize all the calcua
tions of the inventor. By the pressure of only at
mosphere, the wheels made three hundred revolu-
tions in minute. The Belgian Minister of Public
Works has appointed committee of engineers to
report to him on the experiments which to take
place on The Government lines, and has ordered eve
ry assistance to be given to the inventor to facilitate
his object Galignani.

Three brothers, bearing a remarkable resem-

BARRIERS shop in Oliver street few days since
one of the brothers entered the shop early in the
morning, and was duly shaved by German who had
been at work in the establishment for Or two
days About II O'Clock another brother came in
and underwent similar operation at the hands OF
another person. In the evening the third brother
made his appearance, when the German operative
dropped his razor in establishment, and exclaimed:

OHIO LEGISLATURE.
WEDNESDAY, December |

WEDNESDAY, December II.
HoUsE-Mr Pow, (Abol) from the Committee
on Federal Relations, made the following report
Resolued, That the Senators in Congress be in
structed, and our Representatives be requested,
10 use all honorable means to obtain an imme-
date repeal of the act of Congress usually styled
the Fugitive Slave law" approved September
IS, 1850.
Resolred, That the Governor of the State of
Ohio be requested to transmit to each of our Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress a copy of
the above resolution.
Mr. Ward moved that the resolutions be laid
on the table. The yeas and nays were demanded,
and resulted as follows:
YEAs--Messrs. Alec0ader, Baker, Battelle, Ben
nett, Bigelow, Bishop, Blackburn, Burnett, Bush
nell, Carr, Cochran, Colburu, Cook Davidson,
Decker, Deming, Dodds of Montgomery, Eaton,
Fee Finch, Frazer, Gilcrest, Glasgo, Grimes, Har-
Ian, Tiff, James, Johnson of jefferson, Kryder,
Monroe, Okey, Schif, Shook, Steedman, Ward,
and Wilson of Wayne-3s.
NAYs-Messrs BRADLEY, Bmdy, ChsYmgtOn,
Cole COndt, Dodds of Warren, Fanehad, Hayes,
Johnson of Medina, Kseae KENT, Lemon March,
Mayo, Mitchell, Morgan Mccall, Mckee, PLUMB:
Pow, Prau, Ramage, Rayburn, Smith of Adams,
Smith of Clermont, Thomas of Preble, Thompson,
Trip, Van Vorhss, Williams, WILLIAMSON, Will
son of Wood, and SpEAKER-33.
Wings are designated by halle, Democrats by
Roman letters, and Abolitionists by small caps.
We think the Committee on Federal Relations
can afford, after that vote, to adjourn sine de
CUuetH0ti Inquirer.

newspapers and letters among our CITIZENS, do
sustain themselves; and not only that, they yield
a surplus revenue which is partly licked up by
the Franking Privilege Of Congress. AS to the
expenses Of carrying the mails from here to Ore
gon and California, it is no more fair to charge
them upon the correspondence of the People Of
the United States than it would be to saddle 1t
with the burden Of Government dispatches all
over the world, or Of the Territorial Government
Of Oregon. The establishment of lines of mail
steamers to the Pacific is, not for the special bene-
fit of the People in the Atlantic or Mississippi
States, but for the maintenance Of the authority
of the Federal Government, and the perpetuation
of the Union between our Atlantic and Pacific
seaboards.
We have no room for further comment this
week but call the attention of the People to the
