Important Railroad Decision.

In recent case, or rather three cases, be-
fore the late New Castle county court, Judge
GiPin rendered an important decision, involv-
lng the following points:
1st. That Railroad company, legally char.
tered, has the unobstructed right of way over
ats own road. I'd. That it cannot be held in
damages fer any loss which owners of cattle
may sustain if their cattle are killed or injured
whlleupon the track, and due diligence and
caution are observed on the part of those in
charge OF the train to prevent such destrus-
tiOn or injury. Bird. That the company in not
bound to fence in the land or farms along the
line Of the road, merely for the sake of keep
ing cattle off the track but that it is the duty
Growers OF cattle to see that such cattle do
not interfere with and obstruct the passage of
trains, and thus become trespassers. 4th.-
That persons who suffer their animals TO roam
al large upon the track, to the detriment of
travel, by obslructing the road, are liable in a
suit for trespass therefor.
This, or at least the portion in regard 70
fencing, will be new TO the dwellers along
che route, as the company obligated themselves
toAdo the fencing, and in most cases they were
giien the right of way.

A MOVEMENT AGAINST NEGROES IN CANA DA.-Att the court of AsSizes of Essex coun- ty, Upper Canada, the grand jury have made presentment to the court, based upon a representation emanating from the authorities of the twonship of Anderdon, Tn regard to tEe negro population of the country, The grand jury submit the docu- ment that was presented to them to the court, and urge that some action be taken ln the matter. The Anderdon authorities say; We are aware that nine-tenths of the crimes committed in the county of Els sex, according to the population, are so committed bv the coIored people," And they furthur urge that some measures may be taken by the government to protect us and our property or persons of capital will be driven from tine country" The court, alluding to this preSentment remarked that he was not surprised at finding a preju dice existing against them (the negroes ] among the respectable portion of the peo- ple for they were indoIent, shiftIess, and dishonest, and unworthy of the syn 9athv that some mistaken parties extended to them: they would not work when the op- portunitv was presented, but preferred sub sisting by thieving from respectable far mers and begging from those benevolently inclined" What a truthful commentary on British sympathy with American abolition ists. And what commentary on the ex- ertiOns of American abolitionists to inn prove the condition of the negro, by induc- ing him to desert position in which he is made useful to one society only to become a nuisance to another.

EF"A correspondent ofthe Boston Courier

Es"A correspondent ofthe Boston Courier suggests the following theory of the fall of the Pemberton Mills:
 The hollow iron columns supporting the floor below this heavy machinery, hod lost st,ength Though adequate to the support of the floor and machinery above when in- troducel-and probably to much greater pressure than any at that time brought to bear on them; the constant jar ofthe repolv- ing sActts o"d sp'ndles had produced the same change in them, which is knoNn to take place Tn the wrought iron axles of rail way cars after long running.
