GREAT speed,

Last week the New York Legislature, by
special invitation, yisiteG Niagara, on the oc-
cason Of the opening of new route which
makes the distance from Albany to Niagara
only 3O5 miles. The trip was made in six
passenger cars full of Invited guests, in the
space Of eight hours, OF 3S miles per hour in
cluding stops. OF course they had q great
time of it, eating fine dinners at the magniti-
cent Catarac; House, and hearing eloquent
after-dinner speeches. Gov. Hunt presided.
Senator Seward made an able and excellent
speech. On the return, the same general
speed was attained. The Tribune says, one
stretch Of ten miles was made in Rlne min
utes; the 50 miles between Utica and Syra.
cuse vas run IN 10 minutes; for a part of the
distance between Schenectady & Albany the
speed was at the rate OF 20 miles an hour
1t is said that the running on the entire trip
was unprecedented considering distance, &c
No accident marred the joy of the happy occa-
sion.
We believe in the great moral good OF such
trips to the legislators, and trust the exam
pie may be duly honorcd hereaiter.-Er.
Just SOL But if said "unprece!eate2" trip
had resulted, as others have done, in flying
leap down mountain, or plunge over neg.
lectel w-bridgc-what then! Would the
moral good accruing to the legislators have
been very great?
| But few short weeks have elapsed sirct
the occurrence of the fearful slaughter a
Norwalk, and it is forgotten! Forgotten /
All, no; not forgotten by the crushed ant
bleeding hearts bowed around the cold hearth
stone, where once lived and loved those mur
dered victims. They can never forget.
! Railroad accidents will happen until sucl
time as the united voice OF the press shal
succeed in outlawing unprecedented trips

The FLOUR SPECULATION N CALIFORNIA San

aid mentions the following incident as occurring
during the recent flour speculation in California;
lone operator agreeing 10 pay, OH arrival, some
$50 or 40 per Dbl. for 1000 bbls, to be of a par-
ticular brand, (Haxall or Gallego) was informed
that the ship in just as flour was beginning TO
go down, and yet whilst il stood above mis- pur-
chase price. He received some OF The flour. In
day or two was below his cost price. lie refused
to complete the contract. The flour was NOT the
brand mentioned in the agreement. Fiat SAID
Haxall; (or Gallego;) the flour was Gallego, Cor
Haxail) 1t is said that the flour was invoiced right
but the clerk, in writing the contract, just simply
made the clerical error of writing the for the
other. At the time it would have been consider
ed of no consequence. Now, mark the effect of
this little verbal mistake! II may, indeed, be, that
the brand at hand is even better than that named
in the contract-yet, the party buying, computing
loss of thirty thousand dollars and more, refuses

presume, that his position is legally impregna
BILE, unless it shall turn out that he has actually
accepted of the flour by having received small
quantity al the first. Meantime, whilst this re-
mains to be ascertained, hat will the sh pper at
home say to the conSignee here who made such n
simple and yet so great blunder? Will lie hold
him answerable or not? All the parties are album
dainty able, it is said, to stand the fire. This af-
far has made much talk; and, certainly, il is not
often that an error of such simple kind, an erIor
of a word, has in commercial 1aIgains led TO
more serious result Whilst the Hour operators
have been thus dealing with each other, you may
be sure that we, who eat flour, have not wept
tears of sympathy for their misfortunes.''

Important to Steamboat Men.

POI The following communication from BEN CRAw-
FORD, experimenting Inspector Of this district. is
important to steamboat men, inasmuch us it ex-
plains some portions of the law which seems 10
have been misunderstood in some cases.
CINCINNATI, March 25, 1852
Messrs. HGdeTman and Guthrie, Steamboat In
s speetors for the port of Cincinnati:
GENNLEMEN-At the close of the last session of
Congress, Joint resolution was passed, giving in
spectors the power of granting further time to
steamers whenever such are inspected by them
''and found deficient in the requirements made hy
said act, that such omissions not occssioned bv
any fault or neglect of the owner or MASTER he
(or they may grant, upon application therefor or
OF his Tor their) accord, such further reason
able time as he Cor they may deem sufficient with
due diligence 10 make all necessary preparations
to make any such vessel, her machinery and equip
Inent, conform to the provisions of said act; ro-
Vlded, that the time granted to applicants shall in
no case extend beyond the first day of June next"
ind general impression prevailing among
steam boatmen that the operation of the law has
been extended, or postponed until the first of June;
but it will be seen by the above quotations from
the resolutions that such is not the fact It only
gives to Inspectors the power or the privilege Of
granting "such further reasonable time as they
may deem sufficient with due diligence 10 make
all necessary Preparations on the part of the
masters OF owners of such steamers to comply
with the law. And it is my opinion that Inspec-
tors have no right to grant the privilege at ALL I'M
less they are satisfied that reasonable exertions are
being made on the part of such boats to comply
with the law. Yours, respectfully,

Highway from the Mississippi to the Pacific 1t ad-

has long expressed Preference.
Col. Benton is in favor of making this highway
on grand scale, reserving tract a mile wide for
all sorts of roads, rail and macadmized and plain
old English road, aud twumargins1O0 feet wide for
independent and rival telegraphic lines. He is OPP
posed to making this highway by any mixture of
public and private means, or by giving land to
companies, but holds that the United States should
build the road and the fixtures and let out the use
Of it for terms of seven or ten years TO the lowest
bidder. The present system of railways from the
Mississippi to The Atlantic he regards as an expan
ded fan, the spokes Of which converge to ST. Louis
