The suit was brought against Edward Train, who keeps a grocery storo at East Cambridge.— Allen was in the store a few months since, when Train ordered his man to go up stairs and lower an empty barrel. Ho proceeded to do so, but in such a careless manner, that the barrel fell and broke one of Allen's legs. The jury returned damages as above.

THE BROAD GAUGE ROAD.—A project to construct a Railroad with a broad Gauge from New York City to the West, is attracting considerable attention in Ohio and further east. The plan is to take the Erie line from New York west to Olean, Pennsylvania, on the Alleghany river, thence down the valley of that river to near Warren in the State of Ohio, thence branching to Northern Indiana, and seeking a connection with some road to the extreme northwest—another branch to pass to the southwest through Ohio to Cincinnati, and there connect with the Ohio and Mississippi Road to St. Louis.
The project of connecting the great east and the mighty west by one grand chain of Railroad, with a broad gauge, is worthy of consideration, but the attempt to cut up and divide it into branches may have the effect to destroy the project. By an united effort and concentrated wealth, a road might be constructed almost straight and upon the lowest grades, thereby securing the greatest possible speed and safety. Warren, in Trumbull county, Ohio, seems to be fixed as a point—then take a map and draw an air line to St. Louis, and see how far the Richmond and Terre Haute Railroad escape it. But a slight deviation from a straight line will be found ta exist. The citizens of imrc sent two delegates to New York to attend a meeting to be held in that city in relation to this great project. If they should secure Dayton as a point, why should the travel be sent down to Cincinnati when a road-direct to St. Louis will be found through this place, Indianapolis and Terre Haute! There ii no necessity for such a circuitous route, and the grand idea of the work may be destroyed by such a course.— Richmond Palladium.
POPULATION OF AMERICA AKD GREAT BRITAIN COMPARED.—In the recent census report, there is a comparison of the growth of the population in the United States, with thatofGreat Britain. Here for the last sixty years, the increase has been about three and a half per cent, per annum, for tho »vhole period. In the mother country, no enumeration of the population of Ireland was made until 1813, and that was quite imperfect and the first census of Great Britain was made in 1801, when it only had ten millions ond a half. Now the population of Great Britain—England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and tho Islands, including persons in the army, navy and the merchant service— amounts to 27,019,866, of whom 13,537,052 were males, and 14,082,814 were females.— What an appalling comment on the state of things does the facts of the population of Ireland present! From 1821 to 1841 it increased at tho rate of one per cent, per annum while for tho ten years from 1841 to
whole population of Great Britain and Ireland has increased in ten years about, half a million leaving out Ireland it has increased 1,2-16 per cent, per annum. In the same time the United States have gone from 17,000,000 to 23,000,000—or 36 per cent.
THE WHEELING BRIDGE.—It is now much feared there will bo a conflict between the Legislative and Executive authorities in reference to the Wheeling Bridge case.— At the time Congress constituted the Bridge a post route we apprehended future difficulty. "ION" the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun thus refers to this case
Public attention will soon he called to the remarkable conflict between the United States Supreme Court and the legislative branch of the Government, in the Wheeling Bridge case. The Court, by a decree at its

RAILROAD ITEMS.
The State Journal of yesterday furnishes the following about Railroads: There are over 800 miles of finished railroad in Indiana.
The Madison, Terre Haute, Lafayette, Bellefontaine, and Peru roads run daily, with crowded cars, into Indianapolis.
The Cincinnati and Dayton Road is in running order. The Dayton and Greenville Road is now run to Union.
The Indianapolis and Bellefontaine Road is run within two miles of Union, and will be completed within a few days-
The Road'from Indianapolis to Springfield, 111., direct, is to be pushed forward early in the spring.
The papers say that railroad iron will shortly go up to $80 per ton it Is now $65. Congress talks of repealing the duty on railroad Iron. Query—Will that reduce the price of iron to the consumer here, until the supply shall equal the demand.
The Lake Shore Road is completed to Toledo. The Road from Pittsburg to Gallion will be open in a short time.
Fifty miles of the Bellefontaine Road in Ohio is completed, and the balance to Union will be done in April. ne Uolumbus, Piqua, and Indiana Company are laying their iron, between Columbus and Urbana.
The Dayton and Western Company expect to complete their road to the Indiana line soon.
FIRE.—On Saturday night l?&t the Tav ern of Mr. Guy C. Welch situated on the corner of Second and Cherry streets was discovered to be on fire, and before sufficient aid could be procured was consumed. The furniture was mainly saved, though greatly injured. The fire is supposed to ha\e communicated from the stove pipe at a vtry late hour of the night. There was no insurance* ar.d the loss must be considerable to Mr Welch, besides the great inconvenience of being thrown out of house and home at this inclement season of the year.

A MARCH ACROSS THE DESERT.—A correspondent attached to the United States Mexican Boundary Commission, in a letter written at the junction of the Gila and Colorado riverrf, gives the following account of a inarch across the desert: "It is only by actual experience that one can form any idea of the utter desolation and barrenness of ihe desert extending from the Colorado to the coast range of mountains. At the few watering places the supply is scanty, and we were obliged to keep men constantly nt ihe wells is hard and brackish, and dipping up the water as it oozed through the sand. The water at all the wells seems to create thirst rather than allay it. The-e is not a spear of grass for about 10* miles, nor any herbage upon which aiimals can subsist, save the foliage one fruit of the mezquit.
The iitense heat renders travel by day alrrust impossible. We usually accomplished our march between sunset and eiglno'clock in the morning, laving by du*ing the day, which is almost as intolerible as traveling for with the mercury ranging from 112 to 120 degrees in cur tents, sleep affords no refreshment. food is disgusting and reading a faigue. Generally, there is a strong Jreeze, which, coining off the heatelj^tands, burns and parches the skin if it does not bring cloud or dust to add to th3 general discomfort.
NEW BANKS.—Terre Haute is to have five. Lafayette will certainly have three under the rew law,and probably more. It would be difficult, it strikes us, for any one to point out any good that has as yet resulted from this law. For all practical benefits to the community in which these banks purport to be located, they might as well not exist. The papers, books, deposits, and all other things connected with them are not unfrequently, as in the case of one located here, carried about in the hat of some individual who is but little wiser on the subject than the rest of the community. It is said to be an actual fact that a firm in town in whose counting room a new bank locates itself, has been making dilligent search in vain for one bill to frame and hang up as on actual visible, tangible evidence ofits ex istence. Yet if a bank has no issues we do not know that it is very important that it should have any place to redeem them. It might however be important at some future day, for the holders of the hundred and one different kinds of New York and eastern bills afloat in the country, to know if there existed at. any place an office for their re-
TURKISH EMPIRE.—English politicians tnd statesmen without exception,now franklj acknowledge that this empire exists by tie mere suffrance of the four great Europein powers, Russia, Austria, France and Enjland. It is equally conceded that the remoteness of the two latter powers, notwitlretandingtheir naval forces, render them seconlary to the two more Northern States, while Russia far exceeds Austria in her
sia bei lg deficient only in her naval armament. One of the partners in the Bank of Constintinople is a French Banker, through whoseinfluence, to supply an exigency of the Sultan, he obtained a loan from Paris capitalists of two hundred millions of piasters, equal to ten millions of dollars but the consummation of it was bafllcd by Russia, jealous of the growing influence of France, in which Austria and England share. 0,,» -r »i. ..^L, Mr nntmUui dim«ui ty and diplomatic intrigue, it is now speculated that, war may be fabricated by Russia, or Napoleon the Third, Austria and England being passively pacific. The London Spectator says, 'The crisis exists, the consequences cannot be calculated, and England must be prepared for what may happen.'

The source of information was the po lice record, taken on the spot.

President. The Constitution proriilcs no further than this that on the death of the President, the Vice President shall fill his place, It provides further, however, that on the death of both Congress shall appoint one of its own officers to discharge the functions of President. Acting under this power, Congress did,in 1792, enact that in the event of the demise of both President and Vice President, a new election for these Officers should be held in the following December, and that the President and Vice President then elected should hold their offices for four years from the 4th of March next ensuing. It further provided that in the interim between the death of one President and the election of another, the President of the Sanate pro tempore shall serve as President and in case of a vacancy in that office, that the functions of the Chief Magistrate shall devolve upon the Speaker of the House. Beyond this, no provision is made.
