steam , but could not prevent his engine from coming in violent contact with the waggon , of coke , -which it smashed literally to atoms , the concussion , throwing the driver violently to the ground . The man , however , in charge of the engine of the « oke train , immediately upon seeing his danger , jumped off without even shutting off the steam , and the locomotive , being entirely -without control , proceeded at a rapid speed until it reached Southampton station , where its progress was stopped by being brought in -contact with a line of empty carriages , five of which , consisting » f two first-class and three
second , were materially damaged . A newly-erected shed , at the end of the platform , and supported by stone pillars , -was partially destroyed , the concussion causing one of the pillars to fall , which was immediately succeeded by the displacement of the roof . Although several men were engaged at their daily duties in various parts of the station , no bodily hurt -was given to any of them . It is also fortunate that the passengers in the down train escaped with a few slight bruises only . The driver sustained a few severe bruises , and the engine was very much damaged .
An unusually large number of accidents occurred at Liverpool towards the end of last week . Margaret Priestley , a little girl , was burned to death on Thursday week , her clothes having caught fire during the temporary absence of her mother . —Mary Morrison , aged two years , the daughter of a watchmaker , died the same day from the effects of scalding , caused by a kettle of boiling water falling upon her . —Another little girl , named Catherine Dowling , was killed on Friday week by falling down , stairs . —OnL the same day , James Stevens , aged three years , was killed at the workhouse by a gate falling upon him . —Joseph . Duley , a sea captain , who fell into the hold of the ship Sir Charles Napier , and fractured both legs , died from the effects ; and on the same day , a man named Thomas Hughes died from , injuries done to the spine by falling against a table in a public-house .
The premises of Mr . Warrener , toy-maker , 191 , Bishopsgate-street , suddenly fell to the ground last Saturday morning . The house was undergoing repair in consequence of having been almost destroyed by fire about two months previously , and , in order , to support the third floor , fresh girders-were used for that story . Accordingly , one end of one of them was fixed in the sidetrail , the other end being shored up to support it until the wall on . which it was to rest was secured by new work . Wh ile the workmen were engaged on the
building on Saturday morning , the girder gave way , and completely crushed all the floors beneath , down to the cellar , burying twelve men , some of whom -were in the cellar at the time mixing mortar . An alarm was raised , and several policemen were speedily on the spot , who , with other men , began clearing away the ruins . The workmen were all extricated , and , although five of them were taken to the hospital , none were seriously injured , owing to the walls of the house having given way on one side , and therefore fallen in a slanting direction .
A man named James Sails , of Hales , was assisting with a steam threshing-machine , at Earsliam-park , and , in attempting to jump into the feeding-box , mistook his distance , and jumped into the engine . The works vrere stopped as soon as possible , but on the poor fellow being removed it was found that he was dreadfully lacerated . He lies in a hopeless state . A train was being made ready on the main line for Hampton Court , yesterday ^ Friday ) forenoon , and several passengers were seated , when another train was being taken upon the Windsor line . The last train was going at its usual speed , and the pointsmen , by some
accident , turned the points so as to send the Windsor train upon tho main line ; the consequence was , that the "Windsor train came into collision with the one for Hampton Court . Mr . Parker , one of the chief inspectors , seeing the great danger that existed , rushed off the platform , entered one of the break carriages , and , applying the break , was enabled to skid tbe wheels , and thereby stop to a great extent the momentum of the carriages , but not until the train had been forced almost to the extremity of tho platform . By the sudden concussion several persons were hurt ; one lady had an eye severely injured ; another was seriously cut on both legs , and three or four more sustained bruises , & c .
While the flat Patent , of Chester , was going down tho Mersey on "Wednesday evening , she ran against a ship , the weather being foggy at the time , when tho mast of . the flat was struck , and fell upon the master , John Hughes ; killing him on the spot . Tho flat was towed by tho Queen , steam-tug , into George ' s Basin , and tho body was brought ashore , and deposited in tho deadhouse . By the fall of some scaffolding used in the erection of the Art-Troasures Palace , Manchester , five or six men were m 6 re or less injured on Thursday evening , but no"he of them fatally .

America. Tim Approaching Pronidential Co...
AMERICA . Tim approaching Pronidential contest is causing groat excitement in the various patta of the Union . It is anticipated that Mr . Buchanan will not bo able to carry Pennsylvama ; though a letter from Philadelphia Charges Ins partisans with reporting to dishonourable moans to secure tho return of their candidate . It is assorted by the writor of thia communication ( which ia
addressed to the New York Times ') that more than 15 , 000 " wild men have been placed upon the assessors " list as voters . " This statement , coming from a declared political enemy of Mr . Buchanan , must of course be received with caution ; but it is also put forth by the New York Tribune , which adds : —• " These facts , together with the significant circumstance that the commissioners have determined not to publish the names and residences as is usually done , assigning the preconcerted reason that no appropriation had been made for such publication by the Democratic Councils , have excited much feeling , showing as thev do a manifest design to
cany the election by fraud . The colonization process has been managed principally by recruits from New Jersey . We are informed that , if the attempt is made to carry it out on any such wholesale scale as is threatened , collisions at the polls cannot be prevented . " The same paper states that Mr . Buchanan recently oflfered Mr Fillmore the embassy to England as an inducement to withdraw from the Presidential contest ; but this was declined . From Washington .-we learn that the Assistant-Secretary to the Treasury has levied a tax upon all the clerks in his department to meet the expenses of the Buchanan club of that city . Upwards of 3000 dollars were paid in .
Mr . John M . Botts , a slaveholder in "Virginia , has made a sensible speech on the question of slavery extension . He said : — " Muzzles were made for dogs , and not for men , and no press and no party can put a muzzle on my mouth so long as I value my freedom . I make bold , then , to proclaim that I am no slavery propagandist . I -will resort to all proper remedies to protect and defend slavery where it exists , hut I will neither assist in nor encourage any attempt to force it upon a reluctant people anywhere , and still less will I justify the use of the military power of the country to establish , it in any of the territories . If it finds its way there by legitimate means , it is all well ; but never by force , through any instrumentality -of mine . I am . myself a
slaveholder , and all the property my children have in the world is slave property , inherited from their mother ; and he who undertakes to connect my name or my opinions with abolitionism ia either a knave or a fool , and sometimes , both . And this is the only answer I have to make to them . I have not connected myself with any sectional party or sectional question ; and , so help me God , I never will . That is the only answer I have to make you upon the position I occupy on the slavery question . " ( fikeers . ) He then taxed the slaveryextension men with desiring to acquire an undue
influence in the Federation ; and he said that the northern men oppose their southern brethren simply in order to prevent this extension of political power , and not with a view to abrogating slavery wliere it already . ' exists . He doubted if Fremont would attempt to disturb the institution of slavery , and he thought he and his party would be more likely to behave -well in power than out of it . —The son of the Mr . Botts who made this speech left Richmond , Virginia , to fight a duel with the son of the editor of the Richmond Enquirer , on account of a political quarrel between their fathers ; but the police prevented the meeting by arresting all the parties .
Several election riots have taken place at Baltimore ; and a fight occurred at Louisville , Kentucky , between some Fremontites and Fillmoreites , during a political meeting . Mr . Preston S . Brooks received a great ovation from his constituents on the 3 rd inst . The people turned out in vast numbers , and strong dis-Union speeches were made by Brooks , Butler , and others . Two goblets , one gold and one silver , and two oanes , were presented to Mr . Brooks , whose victim , Mr . Sumner , is still under medical treatment , and forbidden to take part in political discussions .
In some of the States , the municipal elections have taken place . In Connecticut , Fremont has gained twenty-three towns , and the Democrats 14 . In the Southern State of Florida , the Buchanan party has been equally beaten . In Santa Rosa country , the American party has gained a majority , the extent of -which is not yet known . At Baltimore , Maryland , during the election for Mayor , several riots have occurred , and the streets were covered with blood . The opposition parties came into collision , and made use of their fire-arms , by which four persona were killed , and upwards of fifty wounded . Several personal rencontres took place on tho 10 th inst ., in one of which a man was shot
dead-Captain Onkes , with a detachment of tho 2 nd Cavalry and 1 st Artillery , has succeeded in reaching tho mouth of the Rio Pecos , and driving tho hostile Indians across tho river into Mexico . The Rio Pecos is a point never before reached by any troops or surveying parties , and has hitherto been considered inaccessible . Kansas remains quiet . Warrants have been issued for tho arrest of Stringfellow , Sheriff Jones , and other pro-slavery leaders . Mr . Dow © , another member of tho Executivo body of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee , has been arrested in Now York at the instance of Charles P . Duano , one of the expatriated . Tho drivers upon the Now York and Erio Railroad struck in a body on the 4 th in consequence of tho refusal of tho directors to modify tlio rule making them responsible for running off at a switch whero thoir train was to stop . Thoir places -were filled promptly , and the trains arc running oa usual . Yellow fevor , cholera , and smiill-pox , are very prevalent at Guayama and Bermuda . At tho former place , a
drought has spoilt the canes . —The steam-chest of tii passenger boat Isaac P . Smith ( between New York a-nrt Albany ) exploded on the 7 th near Haverstraw killin the engineer and two firemen . A portable steam-eni » in has exploded at an agricultural fair in Cincinnati and killed fourteen persons , besides wounding several nth ** The Tennessee left New York on the 6 th for Nicara gua , carrying out one hundred and iifty new recruits to aM in the support of General Walker ' s Government . Ther 7 was an unusually large crowd at the wharf , and trreat cheering at the departure of the steamer . The parties leaving were mainly of the better class of emigrants Some took their families -with them , besides a large sun ply of agricultural and other implements . The situation of General Walker is said to be greatly improved and his government is now looked on as established Ife enemies having received several discomfitures . ' The Hon . Pierre Soule has left Granada for New Orleans
-General Vidaurri in Mexico is preparing to resist the Government , forces sent against him . He demands the dismissal of Comonfort from the position of President Substitute , and accuses him of a desire to subject all the states to central rule . Some officers of the United States corvette Cyane have been grossly insulted while passing- through the streets of Halifax , Canada , by a crow . d of disorderly persons , who advised them to " go to Grey town , " and who . gave vent to various opprobrious epithets . ' In reference to the treaty entered into between Paraguay and the Brazils , for opening the Upper Paraguay River to navigation and commerce , the New York Herald observes : — "By this treaty is opened an outlet ' for the gold , silver , precious stones , and valuable woods
of a region hitherto almost unknown to Commerce , but with which the reports of Lieutenants Herndon and Gibbon , of our navy , have made our readers somewhat familiar . When we state that the Brazilian province of Malto Grosso—a sparsely populated territory , where the inhabitants scarcely possess sufficient mechanical skill to enable them to construct a wheelbarrow—has exported upwards of 15 , 000 , 000 dollars' worth of diamonds , not tp mention gold and other valuable products , some idea may be formed of . ' : the ' advantages gained for the commerce and manufactures of the world by the treaty alluded to . " ' "It is now ascertained beyond reasonable doubt , " says the New York Tribune , " that the burning of the Niagara steamer on Lake Michigan , by ¦ whichspnie seventyfive lives were lost , was the work of an incendiary . "
The Panama ' difficulty ' would seem not to be at an end , as we read in the New York Herald " that , if a second bloody riot has not already taken place there , it may be expected al auy day . Itseems that parties are divided on grounds of colour ; that the whites outnumber and consequently outvote the blacks ; and that the latter , like the border ruffians of Kansas , appeal from the ballot-box to the mac 7 iote and the revolver . On the 15 th instant , there would have been a riot and much bloodshed but for the United States Marines , who pulled to the water line and lay there in their boats , ready to interfere in case of disturbance . We have no
positive account of any subsequent riot ; but , at the time the steamer left Navy Bay , a rumour was current that blood had begun to flo \ v at Panama . " We have every reason to believe that a settled purpose exists among the half-breeds and negroes of Panama to inflict some severe injury on our people in revenge for supposed wrongs , and also to plunder the specie express on the first convenient opportunity . There is no ground for hoping that the deed will be attempted in an awkurd , or foolish , or helpless manner . On the contrary , it is likely that it will be performed with cunning and executed with bloodthirsty daring . The train will not be attacked under the guns of the frigates ; but a few rails will uc torn up at some twenty miles from tho sea , and in the confusion created by the suddon stoppage of the train the specie car may be robbed , and an indiscriminate massacre at least commenced . "

THE CASE OF ARCHDEACON" JDBNISON . The Court constituted to try the suit promoted by the Rev . J . Ditcher , vicar of South Brent , Somerset , ag ainst the Ven . G . A .
