SPEED or RAILwAys.-The policy of run.
ming railway trains ut u high rate of speed is
being seriously discussed bv rnilrond men
north ofus The Virginia Bonrd OF Public
Works has recommended to rnilrond COM
panies in that State, ito adopt regulations
for such lower rates Of speed M will even
tunlly diminish the cost Of r-pnirs, and fur
ni,h greater security for passengers" IN accor
dance with this suggrstion, the directors Of
the Virginia Central Railroad Company have
passed IA resolution looking to n reduction
of speed. The rairoad commissioners Of
New York state that speed Of forty miles
per hour, causes an increase of fifty per cent,
ot expense over q speed If twenty miles,
The magnitude Of the interest related TO this
subject invests II with much importance
Independent If my increased profits to b.
derived from reducing the rate Of spred, the
diminished risk Of accident to passengers is
worthy OF consideration.
