HER MAJESTY'S LETTER TO THE RAILWAY DIRECTORS.
Sir Charles Phipps has received tho command; of her Majesty the Queen to call the '^^ea'jion of the directors of the to the increasing number of accidents which have lately occurred upon different lines of railroad, and to express her Majesty's warmest hope that the directors of the will carefully consider every means of guardin
against these misfortunes, which are not a all the nectss.iry accompaniments of railway travelling. Ie is not for her own safety that the Queen h>iu wished to provide in thus calling the attention of the company to the Ja:c disasters. Her Majesty is aware that when she travels extraordinary precautions are taken ; but it is on account fo her family, of those travelling upon her service, and of her psople generally, that she expresses the hopo that the same security may be ensured for all as it is so carefully provided for herself. The Queen hopes it is unnecessary for her to recall to the recollection of the railway directors the heavy responsibility which th^y have assumed since they have succeeded in securing the monopoly of the means ol travelling of almost the entire population of the cnunry. Osborne, December 27, 1864.
