ENGL1sH RAILROADS Committee Of the House
Of Commons have made some important suggestions
relative to accidents upon English railroads Acct
DENTS arise, in the judgment Of the committee, from
three causes-excessive speed, inattentiOn Of serv
ants or detective material For the first and greatest
cause excessive speed almost invariably the result of
want of punctualty in the arrival or departure of
trains, the committee propose practical reform,
namely: to give an easy remedy to the public against
companies when punctuslity has not been secured,
which weuld speedily, think, obviate the evil. Il
is also recommended that fuller powers be given to
the Board of Trade in the matter Of railway acct
dents, such, for Instance, establishing cOmmu-
nioation between guards and drivers, and more
rigid and uniform system of telegraphs between
railway statiOns-suggestions which Parliament
viii practically enforce, if railway companies do
not take the initiative.

this time the horse, so far as can be ascertained

FRENCH OYsTERs.-The French people are not a
little excited in regard to the messages of His Ex-
cellency, Henry A Wise, of Virginia, upon the sub

are much more interested than they are in any
speculations npon peace and war. NJ Coste, Pro-

upon the business of gathering oysters This branch
Of industry is also the nursery of the best seamen

populated even at Cadcale and Granville-names

the position Of Examiner of U. S. Surveys for the
Territories of Kansas and Nebraska. Capt. NJ, from

Mississippi member of Congress, for contempt of
his authority, Mr.. W., being counsel for some of
the obnoxious parties, The affair created much
excitement at the time.
