Aferwards, and when its novelty had long worn off, it never ceased to have peculiar interest and charn for me. The gloom through which the great black inass holds its direct and certain codirse, the rushiing water, plainly heardl, but dimly seen; the broad, hiteglistening track, that follows in the vessel's wake; the men on the look - itfonyard, who would be scarcely sible'against the dark sky, but for l- eir bloting out some score of glisten g stars;.the helmsman at the wheel, i th* illuminated card before hii, - shining a speck of light amidst the darkness, like something sentient, and o ine intelligence; the melancholy ,sighing of the wind throngh block, and ope, and chain; the gleaming forth of light from every erevice, nook, and tiny piece of glass about the decks, as though the ship were filled with fire in '.hidingfready to burst through any out let, wild with its resistless power of eth and ruin.

R~AILwVAYs IN FoRIxoN CoUxrim~s. A correspondent of otne of the mor-ning journals, gives the following summary -- of railway accidents: The number, of passengers transported on the Prus sian railways in 1851, was 9,901,681. 'Of this number, one person was killed by jumping out of the cars; ibur were 4-wounded; four we're killed; and three wounded by being on the track when ~-* the cars passed. Of omeiers and work ' men in employ of the dilfierent conmpa nlies, eighteen were killed and twenty wounded. One person was killed by --- ohintarily throwing himself uinder the -~ wheels of the cars. lIn England, dur ing the same year, the number of pas s'engers was 78,369,023, of whom 36 were killed and 375 wotunded. Sixty - ~ one persons, not passengers, were kill ed, and fourteen wounded on the track. Of officers and workmen employed by the-companies, there were 117 killed and 48 wvounded. Four persons coim mnittied suicide by throwing thlemnselves under the wheels of the cars.

Both Houses presented scenes I of violence, confusion, iaste and vul- t arity, of a truly disgraceful character. Such paragraphs as these -occur very t frequently in the report: t "Great confusion prevailed all ov. er the Hall, and the galleries and lob bies were crowded with spectators." Again, says the reporter: "Sundry violent struggles were oc- I casionally made to obtain the floor, a hundred or more gentlemen rising at t once, and shouting out 'Mr. Speaker,' severally liolding up the bills they 1 were so anxious to have considered. t The scenes occasioned much laughter." I Once more he pauses in his labors, to i send this over the wires: I "It was eight o'clock. The galler- t ies were densely crowded, and lobby I members present increased in num- t bers. So much noise and confusion i prevailed, that it was next to impossi- I ble to comprehend the legislative pro- < ceediugs. Members,were continually I going to and returning from the outer I room, in which were liquid and solid I refreshments. Amendments to Navy I bill still discussed and voted on. Some < memibers, weary of the dry proceed- i ings, retired to chat with lobby friends I and smoke segars. The falling of a I lady's fan from the gallery, hitting an i honorable below upon the head, but < not seriously wounding him, excited f sonic little merriment. Just about I this moment a burly old member came 1 into the Hall with a hunk of bread and I ham in his hands eating thereof I most heartily." I Two hours later, he records: 1 "It was now half-past ten o'clock, I the number of spectators seeming to increase rather than diminish, tile ex- I citement all over the Hall continuing without abatement." Towards midnight, or later, says 1 the telegraph, "Mr. louston, the Chairman of I Ways and Means was, fron the ef. j fects of excessive labor unablc to ex- < plain the various amendments. The I clerks had become hoarse from con- I tinued reading. The sofas in the lobbies were now occupied by mom bers asleep, and only a few within the bar seemed to be interested in the dull proceedings of the Indian Appro priation Bill." At half-past three, the following cir cumist ance occurred: "A drunken man of genteel appear ance was aroused from sleep in the Senate Chamber, and commenced blas. pheming in a loud and boisterous mall ner, disturbing the proceedings of the i Senate. The otficers were directed to put him out-this was accomplish ed with great, difliculty, and he was committed to prison under the Capi, tol." In the midst of such unusual scug I as these, the most important mias ures were passed, and others, no less 1 important, rejected. Is it not shame-t ful, that the aihirs of' thlis great coun- < try should be transaeted with such headlong carelessness? If the aihairs of I the most insigulieanlt private estab lishment were so managed, it would not merely bring down upon1 its pro prietor-s inlstant ruin, but universal de rision and contemnpt.

TH1E BLUE RInoE RAILROAD.--WC are pleased to announce to our readers that the Council this day subscribed $500,000 to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, thereby securing the Charter granted by the State for this great and inportant enterprise. Their work is, however only half accomplished, and it ought not to be permitted to rest. Mr. Gourdin's letter published yester day, shows that a subscription of a like sum to the road through Georgia is absolutely necessary.

FATAL AsD MELANCHoLY ACcIDENT. -Few circumstances of the kind have given us more regret and sorrow than the dheath of William, the oldest son of the late Judge Robert B. Alexan decr, in the 14th year of his age. We learn that on Sunday last' whilst at play with his companions, one of them accidently stru' k him with a small pieac o wire, which, penetrating his brain just ab o his cye, -caused his death on Sunday night. The deceased was an ainiable, intelligent and prom ising youth, unive. rsally. beloved by his yoiung associates, and greatly priz d by his older acquaintances for that coim bination of good qualities so rarely ti:unmd in one of is age. Sympathy, w.'e know, can biring but little confort to the sorrowful, still it may soothe some momentary panig of a mother's heart to know that a whole commnuni ty feel most deeply for her loss, and would glad ly, were it possible, mitigate the anguish oft this heavy bereavement.

TVhe wvriter further says lie has been made acquain ted with the details ofthese improve tments, "which are so palpably correct in theory, anid feasible in practice, that every civil engineer and Rail Road man will, on examination, at once re cogiiize amnd ad mit, as the desideratum, even to the extent of safety and speed above indicated." The next Congress, it is said, is to be inivited to secure its adoption, and give to the world the result of the first experiment.
