Insurance against Accident. Philadelphia, January 12, 18(10. Mr. Editor: This ciass of insurance has received too little I attention in Philadelphia, though in many other parts of the country a very larjre portion of the community have availed themselves of its Bene fits, and scarcely a merchant or mechanic but has thouerbt it advisable to take out a policy of insurance against accident anil loss of lite ' 4knMnV.m. Mn ii m nana i 1 1 vwtisiiitill i 11 II uf I1 1 A , 1 .7 (.HBO Till pinviivniij UIUUHI.H, the benefits of this kind ol insurance. On the 13th of December, IMS, before leavtnp Chicago, I purchased from the Providbnt Lifb Insurance and Investment i ConrAirr, fire tickets lor the sum of one dollar and titty cents, which insured me for five day' travel, and in case of accident, forty-five dollars per week; or in case ot death, nine thousand dollars to my heirs. On the 14th instant, when htteen miles east of Pittsburg, an accident occurred on the Pennsylvania Railroad, by which I was badly injured. I have been here at the Merchants' Hotel receivinR medical attention, and have now so far recovered as to be able to return to my home in New York. This Company have, through their agent here, K. Poulson, Esq., No. 80s Wal nut street, promptly paid me one hundred and eighty dollars for lour weeks' disability. I know 01 no better illustration ot the practical benefit of this kind of insurance than this case ati'orcis. I would commend this company and their agent to the notice of all persons who desire to purchase either a policy of insurance or a trip ticket over any of the railroads leading this city or elsewhere. I have also insured live thousand dollars more in the same company. N. E. SnKLDON, Delhi. Delaware county, New York. American Seenrltles Abroad Depression ot European Market. London Jfews City Article, December 25. Tirades against America, ber people and her policy, are easy, and the European public have tad a surfeit of them, especially during the last three years; yet the fact remains strongly marked that- there is a constant flow of capital from Europe undor the influence of the natural law, which proclaims that it shall seek thoue regions where it will yield the largest return. Even at the most doubtful moment of the civil war there was scarcely an interruption to the steady investments in American securities by German and Dutch capitalists, who have been tully rewarded for their sagacity by the readiness with which the general public, including that of our own country, have taken from them, afr an immense advance iu price, the securities purchased by them during the time of depreciation. The absorption of American stock throughout Europe has been more extensive during the last lew weeks than ' was ever before Known. On every side the evi dence is strong that the profits ol trade and agri culture in Europe have this year been more ex tensive than cn any former occasion. As tar as England is concerned, our shipping and export statistics show tho largest business ever yet attained, and there is no reason to suppose that the increase iu the quantity of trans actions haj been connequent"upon the push ing of sales at a sacrifice. Ou the contrary, the margin of gain is believed in most in stances to have been unusually good, and, as regards the produce markets, some proof on that point is turnished by the fact that the gene ral rise in prices naa its origin nere when stocks . were heavy, and not in the produciag countries. Yet in the midst of this prosperity inonev attains are doubtful, not only in London, but iu all tbe Continental cities, arid tbe various descriptions of public securities exhibit symptoms of greater cpneral depression than have been witnessed at any previous period during the past seventeen vears. The transmission of funds ta America is obviously the main solution jt appears, according to the last accounts Iron) Frankfort, that the TrleA nf TTnited Stales boudi in thatcitv wa; two per cent, higher than in America, and that the Hood was the more certain to be kept up; but enormous as are the purchases of Federal bond, tliew nre nrohahlv almost equalled by the sums sent out for private enterprises. Should this extreme confder.ee continue in the funds of a country burdened with a very heavy debt, and an' extremely heavv taxation, and should European capitalists display ai much readiness (, in promoting new undertakings, it would seem futile to expect during 18U0 any permanent re laxation of our rate of discount, or any recovery Jn the value ot home European securities. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. TBI OR BAT RAILROAD CASK. Nisi Pbiub Court Judgn Read. Pennsylva nia Itaiiroad Company et at. vs. the Atlantic and (ireat Western Itallroad Company. The Hon. Robert J. Walker this morning resumed his argu ment in behalf of the Atlantio Railroad Com pany. In opening he read the application of the rennnylvania Railroad Company for an in junction retraining the Atlantic Company from using any portion of the Catawisa ItRilroad. In "id "Story's Equity," page 635, this prin ciple Is latd down: "It is a univcrral rule in equity never to en force either a penalty or si fortetture. Therctore courts ot equity will never aid In the divefting ot an estate for a breach of covenant on a condi tion subsequent. Again in 4th Johnson's Chancery Reports, pB)ie 21, we read: "A court ol equity does not lend its aid to divest an estate for a breach of a condition. It does not sssist for the recovery of a penalty or a forlelture, or anything iii the nature of a for feiture." Apnin. citing from 2d Wright, puge 102, we find that "a coutt, of equity will not interfere to redrrs any injury lor which there Is ample remedy at law. A railroad company will not be restrained from progressing with, the construc tion of their road, because of the violation of some contract which they may have previously made In relation to it." That would seem to bo almost In the words of this case. In 1M, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company promulgated, in a printed report, the fact that we were a "connecting road." They did not style us a "connecting train." And now, after we have belied, thirty millions of bonds, they attempt to deny the fact, and ask this Court to make a decree which may cause the loss at' this thirty millions. It Is said that thejholdcrs of these securities are Englinhmen, but becauscithey are aoross the oceun, unable to be present anil protect their interests, it advantage to be taken of their absence, to perpetuate a wronor f But all ,these securities are not held iu Eugland. To mil lions and a hall of them are held by Phila dclphiaiiH. our honor baa no right to decide whether we hre connecting roads or not, because the plain tills raising the question are a private party. 8ujipoie it is decided, or about to be decided that we have forfeited our contracts and our rights, because we are not a connecting road, the Gov ernment in a case like this, where $50,000.(100 had Imscu expended, in good faith would be bound to waive the forfeiture. In the Annual Report of the Board ot Direc tors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, February 21, 18.',pai?e 08,'wereaJ: "A number of sidings Lave been laid during the past year, requiring considci able graduation. A connexion has been made with the Bald Eagle Valley Koad at liOt-kbaven, and with the fchawmont Road near Ridgway (both narrow guage roads) Alo. one with the Oil Creek Road at Corrv, and oiip witb the Butlalo and Erie Railroad, giving temporary passages from the tracks of that road, to the L'mon Pahsenirer Station al Erie." Attain turning to Applelon's Railway Guid? for the pre.-eiit month, we find the Pennsylvania Railroad Company advertising that they connect with the Atlantic and (ireut Western Railway. How can they niter tuis.dcny that we arc a con necting road Who are the allies of my friends on the other side? The New Vork and Erie Railroad a road built cxpresslv to divert the whole western trade to the city ol New York. The Atlantic road Is tiO miles shorter lioin the West to Philadelphia than any other road, and we are pledged never to dis criminate against this city in lrcight or pas senger tolls. The honorable gentleman, with a few remarks on the subject of railroad guage.', concluded his argument. ' THE VK1TED PTATES VS. STEAMER "JIOUAWK." Washington. January If!. The Supreme Court of the United btates has decided the case of the nited States vs. The Steamer Mohawk, This as a libel to procure a forlelture filed in the astern District ot Michigan, under tbe act of Congress of December 31, 17U2. which provides that it any certificate of registry or record shall be fraudulently or knowingly used for any shin or vessel not then actually entitled to the benefit thereof, according to the true intent of this act, such vessel shall be forfeited, etc. roe claimants set up that they were the sole owners, and that they purchased subsequently to uie enrolment, ana wimoui Knowledge ot the Iraud, if any was committed, for a valuable con sideration in good faith, under the act ot 1852, the Mohawk, which hitherto was a foreign vessel, and obtained enrolment as an American vee-iel ; but the Government insists that that art did not retuedv the fraudulent enrolment while she was a foreign shin, and that the act ot 1852 should be read as a part of all prior legislation on the subject; that the first registry was void trout fraud; and that, as the second registry was based on tbe first, it also was void. Tbe Court below held that the penalties of the net of 1792 did not apply to vessels enrolled and licensed under the act of 1852, and dismissed the ibel. This Court -now atlirmed that ludgment. Justice Miller delivering the opinion of the Court. MATTERS OVER THE RIVER. The Snow ox tub Pavements. It ii generally the case that, for several davs after a snow-storm, the sidewalks ana pavements in Camden are rendered almost Impassable, In con sequence ol slush, water, and mud, when the weather is not sufllcientlv cold to Ireeze. This disagreeable condition ol things is caused by the failure of the citizens in not removing the snow irom tne cutters m iront ot tncir dwellings, Most of them shovel it off just enough to block up the water courses, and so soon a the snow begins to melt, tne sidewalks are overflowed. It they would take the pains to remove the snow from the pavements into the street beyond the gutters, the walks would be kept dry and good But, under the usual mode, every crossing is deluged with water, rendering It irnposMble for pcdestiians, especially ladies, to pass. Now Is tne time tor me citizen to try lue experiment The con will be verv slight in comparison to the convenience it will give. TheT own comfort ought to dictate this course ol policy. Tdk Inauguration. The Inauguration of the Hon. Marcus L. Ward, Governor elect of ew Jcrsev.took place to-dav. Notwithstanding the inclemency of tho weather, and a consider able body ol snow covering tnu ground, a large number ol citizens ann politician Irom Camden went up in the early trains, to participate in the ceremonies on the occasion, lhe preparations tor a grand and imposing demoautration are of the inett extensive character, and although the weather is unfavorable, the military display will be admirable and appropriuin.
