They 1 are rarel prosecuted with any intelligent and resolute purr . pese of discovering the real cause of the disaster, bt t seem to aim at "getting up some plausible ex cuse for it. It seems to .be assumed, in the first place, that nobody is to blame for a railroad acci dent ; and the inqest is generally conducted upon that assumption. This exactly' reverses the true method. The presumption, in case of disaster, al- th'at it conduct;! Vnd in nine cases out of ten this is true. HSuch a thing, as an accident, is, exceedingly jare. VerT few events hajiK-n in this world; they are all caused ' by . something and somebody. When an axle breaks, it is fair to presume, and in most eases it is true, that it was not fit for its place, and that pro per care and scrutiny would have discovered the defect, and of course prevented the accident. That degree of scrutiny necessary to discover uch a de fect it is the duty of the company to provide. And , whenever an axle breaks, the presumption is that it broke in" consequence of neglect of duty on the part of somebody. The business of an inquest therefore, in all such' cases, is not so much to in-1 quire whether there was any neglect or not, as to fix the malfeasance. ; luponijie . a'ight.pern. .Our; laws are undoubtetlly defective upbn this subject. Proper penalties are not provided for misconduct in railway management, lue most eftectual prevent ives, under existing circumstances, are found in the, loss which such accidents throw upon the Company, and the heavy damages, which the Courts of law sometimes award. And as things stand now, it is to be hoped that the rigor of such - aw ards will be increaseel rather than relaxed. But the laws upon this subject ought to be rein-, forced;' and we hope the. bills now before the Legis lature will receive prompt and efficient action. The lives? of a1 verv large portion of .the community are constantly at the 'mercy 61 the managers and con ductors of railways' Carelessness, under such aw ful responsibilities, is a crime ; and should always be punished w ith the utmost severity. ' It is quite pos sible that the authors of the late Erie Railroad acci dent will be discharged from the employ of the Com pany ; but they.will piobaly suffer no other punish-; inent, and will unquestionably be in the employ of some other road within a vear. N. Y. Times. THE MOSAIC BECORD PEOF. GTJYdT'S IN NEW YORK. The iVi i Courier and Enquirer, referring to the lectures recently delivered by Professor Guyot, (who lately delivered a course of valuable lectures before the Richmond Athenzeam,) in New York, Sfivs ; u A timely course "of lectures upon thercorrei pondencejof the Mosaic record of the creation with the demiimstrations of modern science, is to be delivered 'in this city, by Prof. Guyot, of the Scien tific Schoolof Harvard College. The lecturer, whose work on Physical Geography has made him favor ably know n beyond the classic precincts of the pro fessor's chair, claims that the assumed disagreement between, the account of the creation given in Genesis ,ai:d' the well-sustained theories of the most distinguished investigators of physical science does not exist ; and that the, agreement which does exist is literal, and not that of ,n myth to an accurate statement of a physical fact. Such a view of the Mosaic record, if well sustained, will claim both attention and welcome from all the more intelligent minds in the commuuitv." . Tue "Black Swan" is in town. This rather re markable vocalist gave us a concert, last Tuesday evening, at the Melodeon.

Dum bolton's hands may have been imported by Mr. Barnum ; and, I may be mistaken. Her "private secretary" is a "Siciss Bell Binger." The Melode on was partially filled by an attentive and respect able audience, and the "Black Swan", sung well finely with the utmost ease,, and greatest latitude of human cadence, I ever heard. In short, she is Jenny Lind in jet ; with a voice more powerful in j' my estimation ; capable of most wonderful execu tion efficiently trained. 1 his "J Hack Swan' is a modest, well-behaved girl, of some five-and:twenty years, genuine Con'g'o breed, unless I'm sold with the rest of mankind, by that artful man,;Barniim, or some of his equally wonderful attaches: Taken all together, the "Black Swan" is a novelty of some moment, arid may create a sensation, in various parts of this "gal-lorioiis kedn'try .
