IMPORTANT COLLISION CAsEs.-The Cleveland Herald of
the 7th instant publishes full report Of the opinion de-
vered by Judge LEAvTT Of the United States District
Court in the Of the steamer Atlantic the prope
Ter 0gdensburgh. 1t will be remembered that n collision
took place between these vessels the goth Of August
1852 at point the lake between Cleveland and
the entrance Of the Weand canal and that the steamer
was sunk, and than two hundred lives lost
The Judge Of opinion that the Atlantic did not keep
sufficient look the night Of the collision, that she
guilty Of great error in porting and then hard
porting her helm, and that she also fault in not
having checked her speed when the propellers lights
first made He therefore decided that the ibelants
the law and the facts not entitled Decree
either for the whole any part Of the value Of the stea
mer Atantic and that the respondents had just claim
to compensation for the injury sustained by the gdens
burgh arising from the faulty Of the Atlantic
The amount Of this injury by agreement Of parties was
against the libellants with costs.
The Judge also decided an important point Of practice
in this case holding that the jonder in the same libel
Of proceeding in rem, against ship and in persona
against the owner, in action for damage by collision
is not admissible.
Judge HALL, Of the United States District Court at
Buffalo, has determined the suit Of the propeller Oswego
u.s. the steamer America in favor Of the owners Of the
propeller, and has decreed that the sum Of $4,000 be
PAID 10 them as damages lie has also decided that the
hbeilants have maritime lien against the America 10 the
amount Of the Judgment and in preference to other
creditors.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DEcIsIoS.-The Supreme Court
Of Missouri have just made decision involving large
amount Of subscriptions Of stock to the Pacific Railroad
After the original subscription Of stock this road the
Legislature made several amendments to the charter.
Among others repeating the section which fixed
the Western terminus of the road in Cass county, and in
effect changing that far the Of the road it has
since been located TO Kansas Other changes were made
Of great value to the stockholders to wit relieving
them from their liability under the general law for double
the amount Of stock subscribed
vote Of the stockholders had on the adoption Of
the amendments to the charter, and majority in num-
bers and interest voted in favor But considerable num-
Der refused thus and ihen the adoption of the
amendments they refused to pay the instamens their
stock the ground that the charter having been changed
without their consent they released from their sub
scrptons The railroad company brought suit recover
the nstament that had fallen DUE and decision now
made settles the point in controversy.
The Supreme Court have ruled that the plea of the sub
scribers is insufficient that the Legislature necessarily
has the right of amendment 10 all laws provided vested
rights not impaired; that the changes made in the
railroad charter, far from mpairing the rights OF the
stockholders only made them secure by lessening
their liabilities and giving them liberal scope
the location Of their road. The Court therefore, held
the defendants still bound and all subscriptions will have
to be paid. The in which the question tried
