Low FARE AND THRoUGH TRAVEL FAT
LAcY.-The great failure Of the Hudson
River Railroad has arisen from its ridicu-
lously low fares, and the equally ridiculous
ly supposition that it was dependent upon
its through travel for an income. From the
commencement we have waged war against
both these heresies. We have contended
that the more business they did at cent
per mile per passenger, the poorer would
they become and that no road ever paid
dividend upon which tn, fare was less than
two cents per mile, and which did not de-
rive its principal support from way travel
Time has effectually proved, that two cents
per mile is the very lowest rate at which it
is possible to work success fully, any rail.
road in this country and also, without any
exception whatever, the only paying rail-
roads are those which receive the great
bulk of their travel from the region Of coun-
try through which they pass. And we be-
ieve that the management of the Hudson
River sRaicoad have finally arrived at the
conclusion that these are established facts
and intend to regulate their proceedings ac-
cording-New York Courier and En-

Broussa, April IL.

Droussa, AprH III.
Yesterday evening shortly before o'clock
two or three violcn, shocks of an earthquake
were felt here, and caused unvcrsat terror
among the inhabitants. Every one called
to'mnd the fearful scenes which had occur
red hardly month since, and wos struck
with the apprehension of the coming caam-
i,y, unhappily Often too fully realized. in
five minutes from that time every public
monument and building in Broussa was
heap Of ruins.
Complete details of the catastrophe are
still wanting but it may be said in briefthaf
the city is dos royed-fire having dcvoured
what relics the earthquake had left. Among
other noble monuments that have perished,
is the magnificent mosque of Oulou- Djami
the pride of the city. Two minarets OF this
ediice were ovcrthrown in the former Garth
quake and the cup0la cracked. II is now
wrecked from top TO bottom, leaving nothing
but pile OF crumbed stones, amidst which
the celebrated turbcs OF the first Sultan arc
buried.
All the other mosques have experienced
like fate. No stone built house in Brous-
sa has resisted thc terrible shocks. Enor-
nous masses Of earth and rock we've de-
tached from the hanks Of the mountain
above the upper streets Of the place and
rolled down upon the Jews quarter whose
distinctions they completed.
AS to the wooden houses which escaped
with less damago from the earthquake they
have been destroyed almost totally By
conhagation. The flames broke forth at
many points simultaneously about o'clock
and are still raging. Tho scene is awfak
The Bazaar, and the whole quarter of tho
city around it presents nothing but seaps OF
smoudeiing ashes. The European quar-
ter has suffered least, The houses Of the
Franks are built in the plain and have in
many instances, w,hstood the shock. But

Every one goes to his duty as merry a.

as they do for the football they kick for

nights ago, while the 18th Royal Irish were
going down the ravine that leads to Green

self with one Of his native airs, when he
was reproved by an officer for daring to
whistle in the ranks, and while going on

vine. Pat cocks his eye up towards it, and
quietly said, "thcrc goes boy on duty /;

claim to have suffered but little damage,and
not to have had man wounded, while, as
