WASHINGTON, March 30 h.— Yesterday afternoon there 'was ranother explosion at the 'Washington arsenal. A shell burst While two men were unloading it. One of them may ?lose-several of his fingers by amputation. The other workman sustained only a slight ^wound in the head. 'Since the explosion at the Arsenal, seve ral months since ' , by which ten persons were killed, this work has been carried on in sheds, widely separated, so that an -'explosion in one, cannot communicate to the otherson the grounds.

Crxcnoivri, March 30.—The boiler of Da vie's steam saw mill, near Mitchell,lndiana, exploded yesterday, killing two men and severely scalding two others. From Fortress Monroe.

NEW Yowl - , March 30.—The Helvetia ar rived this morning from Liverpool. Her advices are anticipated. Arrival of a Sseamer. NAW YORK, March -ad.—The steamship Washington has arrived from Havre. Her advices are anticipated. A NEW HORSE-SHOE. --A Paris black smith has invented a new system of shoeing, horses. Instead of the shoe being placed on the hoof and burning its own resting place, the outside of the hoof is cut away around • the foot to the depth of half an inch; this• leaves a ledge, into which the shoe fits, and is then flush with the frog, which just touches the ground, instead of being raised, as of old, by the shoe. The advantages of this are that the foot is little pared, and that instead of a heavy shoe the animal is shod in what are little more than racing plates, The advantages claimed by the inventor are, that the horse never slips, that the shoe allows the foot to expand naturally, and that it lasts as long and is as cheap as the old plan. A THIEF'S LErrza.—A thief was re cently tried in London, upon whose person was found the following letter: "Dear Old Pal—l write these few lines hoping they will find you in prosperity, as it leaves me very seedy indeed. There is nothing doing this weather, for it is so cold that all the gents button up their coats so close that there is no getting at their pockets; and as to the ladies, though they never carry much money, there's no getting at their pockets any how. Lam going to have a smash at some jeweler's window, and if I am lucky it will be all right, if not, it will be all wrong. There's one thing I forgot; I sacked a goodish many fowls and a goose or two at Christmas. So no more at present from _your old pal. JORHITA WHITE." Tti.e. first number of the Chinese news paper published in London by Professor bummers, under the title of the Plying Dragon, contains some general remarks upon the advantages to be derived from newspapers, a summary of European news, including Lord Palmerston's death, the loss of the London, the death of King Leopold, -and the close of the civil war in America; next a dissertation upon railways, their :usefulness, economy, and other advantages; and lastly, some information which it must have iouzzled the worthy professor to put into Chinese, viz., advertisements of Eng lish products and businesses, patent cart midges, steam plouglut, matches, Colt's re volvers, etc. The second number contains acnap of Europe. WHOLPRALE SLAUGHTER.—At a recent bunt in the north of England, 4;611 phea- Hants and 5,000 hares and rabbits were slaughtered. It is estimated that the num ber killed were about one-third the number reared, so that in the preserve there must have been 14,000 pheasants and 15,000 hares and rabbits. To grow grain for the support of the birds would require the cultivation of 246 acres, and for the hares and rabbits, 1,100 acres. COST OF THE MTIVICAN EXPEDITION.- A French official return shows that the Mexican expeditiorrhas cost France, up to the 31st of December, 1865, no less a sum that ..R27,000,000 sterling.

Dacron J. A. REED, of Baltimore, denies the whole theory of trichina. He says,: PI boldly assert that the trichina never did and never will destroy human life; that they have in all probabilltyexisted in the human flesh always, certainly for the last half cen tury; and I think it a fair deduction, taking it, for the sake of aTgument, as granted, that we may receive them through the in strumentality of the hog, that they are not more dangerous to life on that account."

PHILADELPHIA The Sunday Qnestion. EtAunts:au - nu, March 30th, 1866. It is understood that the Postmaster General has declared - the "Union City Passenger Railway of'Philadelphia to be a post road, and that the cars will accordingly be privileged to run thereon every day of the week, includ ing Sunday. This renders all legislation . at- Harrisburg on the subject entirely un necessary. ILumassuitia, March 30. SENATE.—The resignation of Senator Heister Clymer, of,Berks, was received.

The bill submitting the question of run ning Sunday cars to the people, at the next election, came up. In order to avoid a lengthy debate, Mr. Quay of Beaver, called the previous question, which prevented all remarks. The first question was on the amendment of Mr. Rud oiman, as follows: "Provided that it shall be a condition precedent to said vote that said passenger railway companies shall. carry passengers at rates not exceeding five cents, and without any distinction on ac count of race or color. This amendment was agreed to byes voteof 45 ayes to 39 noes. The Philadelphians voting aye were Davis, Freeborn, Ruddiman, Sabers, Thomas and Wallace. Those voting no were De Haven, Don nelly, Gheghan, Hand, Josephs, Lee,. Marks, Quigley and Steiner. Absent Kerns and Watt. The question then recurred upon the fol lowing substitute for the original bill, the substitute being offered by Mr. Myers, of Northampton, as follows : "That theseveral passenger railway companies of Philadel phia are hereby authorized to run cars on Sunday, provided that this act shall go into effect when a majority of the lawful voters or electors of Philadelphia shall, at the next general election jto be held in October, by ballott, determine for Sunday cars. 'This substitute was defeated by viva voce vote, the ayes and noes not being called. When the substitute was defeated, the amendment of Mr. Rnddiman, in regard to five cents fare and colored_ people, being part of the substitute, was also defeated, and the question then recurred simply upon the original bill, as follows: Be it enacted that at the general election to be held in October, 1866, the voters of the City of Philadelphia shall vote for or against the passage of a law to authorize the several. Railway' Companies in said city to run their cars on Sunday. The ballots shall respect ively contain the words "ForSuaday cars," or "Against Sunday cars," and on the out side have the word, "Sunday Travel." Such citizens as are qualified. voters, agreeably to ;the existing 'laws alone, shall.: vote, and the election officers shall receive, such ballots, count up the votes and make such returns as they are by law required in reference to elections, and the returns made . by them shall be deposited in the officit the Prothonotory of the Court of Common Pleas. This original bill was' defeated by a vote of 37 ayes to 49 noes. The Philadelphia members voting ayes were Messrs. Adair, Davis, De Haven, Donnelly, Freeborn, Ghegan, Marks, Hand, Josephs, Lee, Quig ley, Steiner, Sabers, Thomas and Watt. The noes were Messrs. Ruddiman and Wal lace. Absent, Mr. Kerns. An act to incorporate the. Erie City Pas senger Railroad being considered, Mr... McCleary offered an amendment forbidding the company to make any distinction on ac count of color. This amendment was agreed to—ayes 49, noes 26. The Philadelphia members voting aye were Messrs. Davis, DeHaven, Freeborn, Lee, Marks, Raddi man, Thomas, Wallace, Watt.
