From The Evening Post Of yesterday
THr LATE JUDGE BRoSsoN.-We grieve TO say that the
Judge Bronson who dispensed Supreme Court justice to the
people of this State in ls4s is politically speaking
more He has been secretly Nebraskaed His remains
were laid out in The Journal Of Commerce this morning
and the following epitsph found upon tomb stone
in Spanish cemetery win point the curious traveller
all that remains of the corpus pOei of the deceased
al was we'll wished to be better
TOOK medicine and here l lie"
We showed a day or two since that the late Collector
scod square ard well upon the question OF extending
Slavery into Nebraska by quoting extract from his
letter to John Cochran and Others in reply TO an invita-
ton to attend political meeting in this City in s4s In
that letter the late Mr. Bronson used the following en-
phatc language which, we before remarked and now
have pleasure in repeating twas credabe alike TO the
"head, heart and pluck of its author;
"Wbsever consequences follow, trust the people OF he
nee sss. Nil .Ss snss voice ss9'' sCrns sia'ry
Since that letter was written we were not aware that the
Judge had expressed entertained change OF opinion
upon the subjects referred 10 in it and glad to
Emo Gin these times Of double dealing which the judges
eloquent pen has made notorious man Of his promi'
nence who not only held office but had recently been
turned out Of aherng faithfully to opinions unlike
those professed in the political circles which he frequen
that could not feel that had done whole duty
hong of readers was Loft in Ignorance OF the
istence Of such courage and virtue.
But unfortunately, the virtues and opinions which
we're disposed congratulate him about the Judge
to be ashamed Of and he has sveed himself Of the stten
ton which invited to his opinions TO pabsh this
Ing brace Of letters upon the Nebraska question: for the
purpose Of lettering condition which was vel! enough
before As be chose follow the example is not strange
that be has experienced the fate Of his ancient prototype

II any one wishes 10 know where Judge Bronson
"hes' let them look into the three letters which
copy in another column see above from TIE Journal Of
Commerce Of this morning But IT, upon careful perusal
of those documents they do not find that he lies there
then they will surely find him lying in the letter which he
wrote in 4s to Mr. Cochran, from which quoted the
other day. and which give entire. Wherever he

~ RAILROADS IN GREAT BRrTAIN.-From
a report recently published of the rail.
roads in Great Britain, during the bast
year, we learn that the railroad mania is
again awakening in England, $40 miles
OF new railways having been sanctioned
during the year 1853. At the close Of
that year, 1856 miles of railway were
opened in the United Kingdom ofwhich
5.SiS miles were in England o95 in
Scotland; and S43 in Ireland. In the
ten years previous, no less than $3.50
miles of railway had been constructed
an average of SOS miles q year. The
total amount Of capital invested in these
railways is about Sl,350.000, 900. ON
which the gross receipts in 1853 were
SS5,OO0, 900, rather more than six Der
cent. The total number of passengers
conveyed in 1853 was l02, $50 eco, an
increase of upwards of $4,000, 900 on the
year before. Out of this number sos
were killed and 449 injured; a proper
ton We believe considerably less than the
mortality on our own railways. 1t is
greater, however, than the mortality in
Great Britain in 1852; and much greater
than that on railways in France and on
the Continent. %

NovEl. SGESE.-The ex.postmaster Of
Boston is in Germany. He sends home
an account of a dinner to o railway con-
gress, at which locomotive appeared
upon the table, to which was attached a
train loaded with dishes of the choicest
and most solid food. The succulent train
advanced slowly, in imitation of the pas
senger trains upon all German roads.
After having made the tour of the table
without stopping, in order to give view
OF the good things with which it was
frelghted, hetrains again started, making
station 10 front of each guest, and per-
mitting him to fill bis plate according to
his appetite and fancy. The trains fol-
lowed each other in constant succession
for two or three hours, departing each
time well loaded with, comestbles, and
always returning empty to the det ot.
This is, Just theS thing for en- American
