completion Of the lines of Railroad connect
ing Montreal and Boston, and of the COM

the latter city and Liverpool, took place al
Boston, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri

Bostonians and their guests had fine time

An attentive reader of the Pennsyl-

the success of Col Bigler, the Locoio-
CO candidate for Governor, hang all the
hopes Of James Buchanan Tor the Bal
timore nomination. 1t is well under
stood here, by politicians, that the nom
nation oi l}lgler was strongly opposed
by Simon Cameron, U. s. Senator, Col
Frere and other Cass Democrats and
that these gentlemen are even now so
cool and lukewarm, and so damn the
candidate of the party with their
faint praise, that it Is evident their game
is to indirectly favor Johnsion's election,
aud then shelye Buchanan for the race
of 81, by pointing out that he cannot

game will succeed, or not, is, of course,

EpITOR OF THE REGIsTER:-

EpITOR OF THE REGIsTER:-
From DR.. Lardner's new work on
Railroad Economics, and the Annual
Reports of several Railroad Companies
in England, | have gathered the follows
ing interesting items:
In 1850, the length of the lines in
actual running order was 6,464 miles.
The number of miles run by the Iron
Horses, during the year, was 40, l6l,
$50. The average distance travelled
by each passenger was rather less than
IA IL miles per- day.
The total receipts. for The last six
months, amounted to $50, 136, 300 and
the proportions of the incomes derived
from passen5er traffic aud the transpor-
tation of merchandise, during the three
past years, exhibited steady increase
of the revenue accrulng from the latter
source; as will appear from the follow
ing table Of the
Percentage of Receipts.
ISIS By Passenger $40 By Goods 800
1850 d" 55.i3 g." 4S57
L he increase IN travel Is not, hOwey-
er, commensurate with the extension OF
the lines for. while the latter have
been extended % per cent, the increase
of passenger lraflic..has not exceeded IL
l-2 per cant. And, however great ac.
commoda,lon the public may find rail
roads, the average dividend to the share
holders barely amounts to 3 per cent, on
an aggregate capital Of > 500 oct, 600.
With reference to Railroad accidents,
it appears that over two thirds of the
cases result in the loss of life i; that Of
the accidents To passengers, three-fiiths
are the result of Imprudence on the
part of the sufferers; and that seven
out OF every ten aIlse either from stand
ing in an improper or unusual position
or from endeavoring to jump on or off a
train, while II is IN motion. 1t appears,
moreover, that out OF a hundred acct
dents over which passengers have no
control, the proportion of causes which
produce them is as follows:
