LIABILIry FOB STREET ACCIDENTS -A case was
tried before Judge Caleb Cushing, in the supreme
court yesterday, of considerable practical impor-
lance. 1t was suit brought by the city of Boston
against MIR. Jersey, the FORMER proprietor OF the
Quincy Block, in Pearl street. 1t appeared that
while the Quincy Block N the process of cree
ton MIR. Hall fell into the opening which was left
in front of the building, and was severely injured.
He brought action against the city The ground
that the aperture in the street, and recovered
verdict. The city notified Mr. Hersey that he
could be held responsible fer whatever the city was
obliged to pay; and, after proving the rdct the
present cult was accordingly instituted to recover
indemnity against Hersey. 1t was admitted that
Mr. Hersey ordered one of his men to put up
proper barrier at night in order to prevent people
from falling into this place; and it also admit
ted that he supposed his orders had been obeyed.
Butthe testimony of Hall wac offered to show that
no barrier was in fact there when he was injured.
and that he was using due care when he fell into
the place. Itappeared that Jersey had permit
from the city to make the coal hold into which
Hall fell. Judge Gushing instructed the jury that,
if they were satisfied that the defendant made this
excavation in the street, that Hall fell into it. and
had recovered damages of the city, and the defect
was occasoned by the fault of the defendant, then
he was liable; and it made no difference whether
it was by his own fault or that of his workmen He
vas responsible for neglect in this respect in the
course Of bis business. The jury returned YER
dict for the city for too thousand sir hundred and
forty four dollars and tteeaty fipe cents. ~ s

The FLoRIDA, ATLANTIc, AND GULF RAILRoAD,
Two railroad bills have passed the General Assem-
bly, of Florida-one for connecting Pensacola with
the Florida and Georgia boundary. and the other
for connecting within the State of Florida some
point on the Gulf of Mexico with eligible har-
Dor on the Atlantic. This last bill first passed the
House, with amendment authorizing, on the
part of the State, the subscription of wo-thirds of
the Florida internal improvement fund. This fund
consists of half million of acres ofland, and
the subscription would have insured the copstruc-
ton of the road. Upon the bill, however, coming
into the Senate this clause was stricken out, and
thus divorced the State from all connexion with
the project Without the assistance of the State
and the improvement fund the road cannot for
very long time at least be constructed. Tounite
the Atlantic and the Gulf by iron bonds is reserved
for Georgia, and the termini of the great North
are Savannah and Pensacola. The Fioridian at
tributes this of the Senate to the ealousies of
the different sections of the state.

TIE MASSACHUSETTS CoALITIoN.-The Demo-
cratic and Freesoil leaders in the Legislature,
well knowing that union of their Forces could
not defeat the Wings, came to the conclusion that
each section should run candidates fof3speaker,
&c. Under other circumstances they would have
eeatesced as usual That the Democracy Of the
Hoase has not yet purged itself of abolitionisrn
would be evident if there was doubt on the sub
ject from the course of The Democratic caucas on
Tuesday night last. We learn from the Chronicle
that at that caucus the following preamble and re-
solution were presented and advocated by b. L.
Wales, of Randolph:
-tIS hereas, the coalition of the Democratic and
Ffeesoii party in Massachusetts, has proved disas-
trous TO the former, and places political
party in false position before the country; that
while claiming TO be national in our politics,
have by such coalition been instrumental par
ty in electing Charles Sumner to the Senate of the
United States, politician who neither claims nor
has any sympathy with Us, but uses the high posi-
ton in which he has been placed by portion of
the Democratic party of Massachusetts to oppose
the sound doctrines of the Baltimore Democratic
platform. Therefore -
.sResolped By the Democratic members of the
Legislature Of Massachusetts, this evening in
yention, that as members of the Democratic party
of Massachusetts we will not hereafter coalesce
with the Freesoil party directly or indirectly in
the support of men for public ofhce who are not
well known TO be firm and true Democrats; but
from this day forever protest against further union
with party whose principles are go entirely OPP
posed to Democratic principles"
The Chronicle adds: "They were op posed by b
Butter of Lowell, Mr.. Morton of Fairhayen,
MIR. Usher of Medford, and Dr. Cogswell. They
were finally amended, motion Of the secretary Of
the meeting, by striking out the tchoie preamble ana
resolution, and inserting resolution to raise 9
committee to receive, sort, and count the votes or
a candidate to be supported By the party as Speak
or of the House of Representatives. The amend
nent was passed by very large majority
