Hallway An lth-el . fn ElfCan.f, The London Times givWfne follow ing summary of railway accidents in England : Last year there were 23 collisions, 20 accidents of other kinds connected with j the management of the lines, and two ■ trains set on fire. Besides these exam- ! pies, even in the 21 instances where engines or carriages ran off the rails, seven only are reported as due purely to unavoidable casualties leaving twice that number to be more or less accoun ted for by some species of neglect. In 1853 there were 70 accidents to trains reported upon, of which five only were purely accidental, and 11 partly so. In 1854 the aggregate was 85. of which 16 were wholly, and five partially attribu table to “accident ” the term being here used as defining a casualty against , which there had been no obvious means : of guarding. In 1855 the pure acci- ; dents were only 10 and the partial ac cidents —or those in which uncontrola b!e causes could be charged with some, though not all the blame -only 13 out of a total of 94. In the succeeding years the case becomes still stronger In 1856 out of 71 casualties but 3 pure accidents could be selected, and 1857 on ly 16 out of 81.

Breathe softly, pipe and viol, soft, Lost your molten notes Rutile the balmy air which up Through vines to her ca-ement floats ; Lest .-die breathe that rutiled air Into her stilly heart, And the earthly cord that binds her hero With the trembling jar may part. Breatho softly, pine and viol, soft, Through each trembling key ! The night-wind rivals in yon pine Your wondrous melody. So r tly ! murmured words I hear O’er yon mead ow’d lea. The whi.-p’rirgs to the. quiet .-tars From the blue waves of the =ea. Breathe softly, pipe and viol, soft— In yon shady woed A hundred nightingales out pour Their notes in one wild flood ; Softly ! all their gushing songs Mingle with your strain ! Softly ! see.—my lady’s eyes— The dim stars sink and wane! Be sti’l, discordant pipe and viol! Be still, oh wind and sea! Be still, ye noisy nightingales ! My lady speaks with me.

Governor Floyd out of the Cabinet, to which everything possible is to be done to embarrass and break down his ad ministration of the War Department.— This secret explains the opposition to 1 the deficiency bill exhibited by Demo ■ cratic Senators—the motive being not . hostility to the bill, but to Secretary Floyd. Slidell and Bright are prora ’ inent actors in this movement, which also embraces others of equal note. • | A correspondent of the Adrian Expos itor “figures up” as follows, in an swering the question—“ How far can lightning be seen ?” “At half past i nine o’clock on Sabbath evening I ob , served lightning low in the horizon,due west.

So ■ lightning can be seen at least two hun : died miles.” — • | Horrible Affair. ,i A correspondent of the Petersburg Express, writing from Fayetteville, N. ; ;C., on the 28th inst., says : In Richmond county, on Friday a 1 most diabolical quadruple murder was I perpetrated, by a crazy negro fellow be longing to a Mr. John Chappell. The first victim, a child of Mr. Chap '; pell—then the wife—then another child and then Mr Chappell himself. • j Some of the neighbors were sent for, land the negro had to be killed before j jhe was subdued. The particulars are I truly horrifying. Mrs. Chappell seeing • : her child knocked down, ran to its as-j 'sistance, and while in the act lifting it j up. Tier head wa s entirely severed from her ! body by a blow from an axe. The | bloody tragedy very naturally produced | the most intense excitement in the i neighborhood. ♦ .?>.* Hcusloa’s Compliment to the Senate. On a leccnt occasion, Gen. Houston, jin the Senate, thus characterized the 'conduct of his associates in that body : Mr. Houston.—l am not going to | make a speech, but I wish to make a I remark. | Mr. Seward. —Very well. Mr. Houston.—l have sat here, Mr. j President, for nearly 12 years, and 1 must confess that I have* never met in j this chamber a single day that I have not been intensely mortified that I was !a member of this body in some respects. I well remember there was a time when this body was the most decorous, digni fied and respectable body that my eyes lever looked upon, ’i he material here ‘is good enough, but there is a total dis regard of everything like order and re-! spect to fellow members when they are j addressing the body. It is* not alone j : that disorder exists in the galleries, but!' jit exists on the lloorof the Senate. The 1 rules of the body are such as to enable j the officers of it to enforce authority, i and to maintain older and profound silence. Mr. Mason.—l must call the Senator to order. ; Good News from (Ike Indians. t I‘y the arrival of the steamer from 1 Key West, Tampa, &c., on Thursday, ] we are placed in possession of the grati- ; fying intelligence, through Gen. Carter, who came on as a passenger, that 117 Indians were in a Fort Myers, ready to > emigrate! This number is composed of 1 33 warriors and 84 woman and children, i and constitutes the bands of Bowlegs 1 and Assinwah. Both of these chiefs are present, with all their “plunder,” ready , to move at any time. The rest of the hostilcs consist of Sam Jones’ banrl, numbering 23 warriors, 13 of the ( “Markoe” tribe and 7 Tallahasses. A 1 part of the Arkansas delegation had gone in quest of these, with a prospect of securing the emigration cf the most, if not all of them. Sam Jones is help less and nearly blind, and averse to t moving, but the most of his warriors , are willing to go, and asked a few days & in which to operate upon the balance. On the whole, the prospect of getting the Indians olf is most flattering— thanks to the efforts of our noble volun- < teers. —Taltahasse Journal.

Tlie French Assa^sltmlors—Trial of Bernard. This morning Lord Chief Justice Campbell and Lord Chief Baron Pollock attended at the Central Criminal Court : >r the purpose of charging the Grand Jury under the special commission for the trial of Simon Bernard, for being an acessso.v before the fact to the attempt of Orsini and others to assassinate nis Majesty the Emperor of the French. The Lord Chief Justice said that they I were called together to dispose of a case that could not be disposed of by an or dinary tribunal, and the proceeding took place under the statue of the 7th and Bth George IV., see. 7th, which enacted that if any subject of her Majesty should; be an accessory, before « r after the fact, to the commission of any murder or manslaughter upon land out of th e do minions of her Majesty, the offence should be tried in this country, but on ly under a special commission ; and they were now called together to dis pose of a case of this character. His Lordship said he should only briefly j ( allude to the facts upon which the I charge was preferred, although the prisoner was certainly not present when the offence was committed, yet, if they should believe that he was cognisant of what was about, to occur, he would be responsible for the consequences, and it ; m would be their duty to find the bill.— j ’ The Chief Justice then said that he; should refrain, on the present occasion, | from giving any opinion as to the law, 1 but he advised them that should theyj be of opinion that a prirna facie case of; complicity in the crime had been made! out against the prisoner, to return a, true bill, and any question of law that 1 might arise would be most anxiously and carefully considered and solemnly decided. Before the Grand Jury retired, his Lordship said that supposing the Grand J Jury should return a true bill, the trial would take place ou Monday morning, and he expressed a hope that during the trial there would be no discussiou p with reference to the case on the part of the press. The Jury considered the matter for four hours, when they came into court with the announcement that they had found a true bill against Simon Bernard. T The trial will therefore commence on J Monday.- European Times, April 10. j - A little hoy, at his father’s funeral, observed a ch Id of one of the neighbors crying bitterly, doubtless in sympathy! with his little friend. This roused the orphan boy, who exclaimed, “You needn’t eiy ; this ain’t none of your funerals?” Australian Heat —The following is an extract from a private letter, dated! Adelaide, 11, Feb. 1858 : “ I can assure you we have been near-i lyreoasted alive; we have had 10 days and ' nights of the hottest weather remem-j. bered for several years past. The heat ' at noon in the shade was 135 deg. to 140 deg. according to situation, and du-l ring the night it was-never less than! 04 deg. to 104 deg. indoors. The hot, wind never ceased blowing, and the in.- 1 numerable deaths from coupde soled have : been appalling in the extreme.” Feeding Horst s, A correspondent of the Fairmont True • Virginian says: “The towing of boats on the Erie canal is done in part by horses that are; , taken along with the boats, and partly! (by towing companies who keep their, horses at stations about twelve miles j 1 apart along the whole length of theca-; ■ nal. There are three of these twingl companies, and they employ about 1,- . 400 horses. They have found, after f great experience, that the most econom- , ical and best feed for their .horses is a mixture composed of equal parts, by ‘ measure, of corn meal and mill feed (brand or shorts weighing about twen ty pounds to the bushel) mixed up wet with cut hay, and they accordingly feed j this altogether.” i| *.«>*- < If a foe of fifty cents were charged! , ito see the sun ii.se, nine-tenths of the! ! world would be lip in the morning. !

Extract from the Report as the. Agent of the Comptroller of the State of Neui York. Hon. S. E. Church, Comptroller, Sfc. Deak Sir : Agreeably to your request, 1 have examined, I believe critically and fully the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance and Trust Company. 1 have seen and inspected notonly their Books, which are well kept, but the Assets under the heads of Cash on Hand, Bills Receivable, and Stock Notes, and feel perfectly safe in reporting to you that the four items of ’ “Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,” “Unsettled Premiums,” “Bills Re -5 ceivable ” and "Stock Notes,” amounting to 508, 858, are good, and available to tiie Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some pains to ascertain the value of the Stocks held by the Company, having visited the sev t eral Companies and conversed fully and freely with their respective officers^ The building belonging to the Company, on the bonier of Walnut and Fourth ! streets, is a very tine free-stone building, well built and admirably arranged; its location is one of the best for business purposes iu Philadelphia. I have called ■ upon the gentleman who built it, and sold it to the Company, who informed rue that it cost him over $70,000 cash. I think this property would be a good in vestment at $75,000. The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company are alt good for the amount stated, and cover property worth at least hfty pci tent, more than the amount for which they are mortgaged. . From this statement it will be seen that this Company should receive your Certificate. 1 desire to add that the Company seems to be intelligently and pru dently managed, and I find that it enjoys the full confident of the business men of Philadelphia. [Signed] February 14, 1858. A 9 ml °f Comptroller of Acte 1 oil.
