The fret thing that will strike one in compar-
ing the general results Of the above tables. is
the large proportion which deaths by steamboat
accidents bear to the number of accidents them
selves. Thus we find in six years 2062 deaths
to 1872 accidents, whilst for the same period we
have by railway casualties only 93S deaths to 1872
accidents. This Of course can only be attributed
to the Wholesale character of steamboat accidents
and the difficulty of escaping the double perils
Of fire and water.
The improvement under both heads exhibited
by the present year is for us, however, the i'm
portant feature of these tables. This gratifying
fact is to be attributed to variety of causes,
amongst Others the use Of better materials by
the railway companies in the construction of
their tracks and locomotives, the substitution on
steamboat lines Of first class vessels for inferior
ones, the greater vigilance enforced by the ver-
diets Of juries aud the structures of the press,
and the employment Of more trustworthy and
responsible class Of servants. As these causes
obtain q wider operation, there is no doubt that
we shall find proportionate decrease in the
number of passenger casualties. In these as in
all similar enterprises, experience will convince
those engaged in the traffic that their interests
lie in the faithful discharge Of the responsibilities
which they have incurred.

7 he tables OF accidents in passenger traffic
which we compile annually for the benefit of
our readers are amongst the most instructive
and useful records of the year. They show how
far the companies who have charge Of the con-
vey ance of such vast numbers OF our population
have discharged conscientiously the responsible
ties which it entails. 1t is only by the public's
being kept accurately informed upon this point
that the mischievous tendencies of monopolies
can be counteracted and Legislation brought 10
bear upon the carelessness and indifference which
they are apt to create. Unless they are acquaint-
ed with the extent Of the evils resulting from
such causes it is impossible that they can take
effective measures to guard against them. 1t is to
this vigilance on the part Of the press that in a
great degree may be attributed the gratifying
results to which we are about to point at
tentiOn.
TIL following table shows the number Of rail-
road accidents which have ben attended with
loss Of life and injury to person during the year

offers favorable comparison with that of the

the true one. Our readers referred to the des.

THE New COMMON CouNCII.--The new boards
Of the Common Council hold their first session
today, but we presume that, according to
ancient usage, it will be only ceremonious meet
ing, at which no attempt will be made to transact
business. Many Of the members Of both boards
are entering for the first time upon their career Of
Legislators, and we hope that they will commence
their duties with due sense Of the important
trusts reposed in them, and make fair start at
the opening of the new year. As for The old
hacks who hold over, or have been reelected, We
have no hopes at all for them; they can hardly
do worse than they have done, and It'll not likely
that they will do better
The political complexion Of the new Common
Council is somewhat curious. In the Board of
Counclmen there Is tie, the democrats and re-
publicans each numbering twelve; and in the other

and injured during the last six years.

1t will be seen from the above that, as com
pared with 1857, the number OF accidents this
year exhibits diminution of about forty per
cent, and that there is large decrease in
the number of persons killed and injured,
Extending the comparison back to the previous
five years, the results will show much larger
average Of decrease.
As regards steamboat accidents the improve
ment is not Of so marked character, for the &C.
cidents themselves are not so much under the
control Of careful supervision as in the case of
railways. Still, as will be seen by the follow
ing table, there is, as compared with the year
1857, decrease of about eleven per cent in the
number of accidents, and four and quarter per
cent in the number of fatal casualtes:--

HOLIDAY FEsTIyITIEs.-The weather turned
out quite favorably after all on New Years dsv
and the usual rounds of visits were made in III
usual way. We are led TO believe that the dis
cussion which has been opened upon the feasibili
ty of abolishing this celebration as distinct rue
has had its good effect. The festivities of Satur|
day were distinguished by an absence of intox1
cation, and by quiet, orderly and decorous be
haviour as general thing. A large number d
people found out very suddenly that eating and
drinking, when paying formal visits, is not in TIL
best taste, and others refused wine altogether,nt
taching themselves to the fragrant Mocha, thu
lively lemonade, or the cup that cheers but nod
inebriates. This change is encouraging, and
shows that people are not radically wrong on tAi(
subject any more than any other. The follies o|
New Years day are chiefly those that sprind
from the indiscretion or inexpericnce of youth
and the unbridled indulgence of sots and fools
This latter class is beyond salvation, and if il
cannot be cut off in any other way, it would I'D
better to do without the celebration, with all ID
pleasant memories and kindly souvenirs. This
the true point of the argument, and its agitation
il accomplished no other good end, was at Ieas
instrumental in starting up new subiec
for conversation, which on New Year
day is usually Of the most commonplace
description, and confined to meteorological Oh
servations or statistical accounts of the humble

is the adaptation ofstcam power W canal navi-

Science has, perhaps, not been 80 prolific in
its novelties during the last year as in
some others, but its range hos been marked
vita a steady industry Of development
in every field. Its resources have been
taxed severely by the endorsements in me-
chanics and several new and important laws
have been deduced from the phenomena of elec-
trio currents which are intimately connected
with the transmission of thought In scientific
art important discoveries have been made in the
transfer of sun impressions to copper plates
which are full of promise.
We shall glance at but one other point in the
immense field of world progress before US. The
religious world has been the scene of some OF the
most antagonistic movements that could have
been witnessed. Among ourselves religious
awakening almost unparalleled has occurred,
while at the same time in Mexico and Southern
America the most strenuous exertions have been
and are still being made to overthrow the eccle-
siastical influence as social element, In CathO-
lie Europe like antagonism is witnessed.
Rome, il the case Of the Mortara boy, exhibits a
return to the worst theories of ecclesiastical
despotism; while In France a more liberal spirit
has been awakened, and we lind many of the
clergy protesting against the Mortara case, and
Montalembert, a champion Of church supremacy,
contending with political despotism. The inau-
ence of these events upon the religious opinions
Of men will not be lost for long time to come.

in the facilities of distribution, every decrease
in the cost to the consumer, acts upon produc-

cal ratio, and thus causes that commercial deyel-
opement which so rapidly outstrips the increase
of population. Herein lies the true theory of
human progress, for social progress must precede
the Development OF moral and political science.

The Consultation pronounces the statement
of the opposition press, that Mr. Wendell, Of
this city, has letter in his possession from the
President, relative to the employment of money
set apart for the public printing, for the pur-
pose Of influencing certain newspapers to sup
