Terrible Accident on - the Eric Bail. About 6 o'clock yesterday morning the Cincin nati express traor on the "New York aud Erie itailroad,due in New York at 3.08 P.M.,while run ning under full head of steam at Red Mills cut, ten miles cast of Elmira, the locomotive ran upon a broken rail, precipitating the .engine, baggage car and mall car down an embankment nearly thirty feet. ' The engineer and fireman were thrown under the engine and instantly crushed to death. Fortunately, and almost miraculously, no other person was injured; the passenger cars becoming detached and remaining on the track. The engineer was James Eldridge, residing at Union village, on the Western Division. The fireman's name was Samuel Dc Reamer, who also belonged to the Western Divi sion of' the road. The engineer had a brother, Frank Eldridge, who driVes an engine on the Eastern Division. The locomotive drawing the train was completely wrecked. as well as the mall and baggage cars. Vhere was a fearfully narrow escape, as the train was heavily loaded with pas, sengers, and running uPoira high grading twenty or thirty feet above the level. The track was ob structed for some time atter the accident, but was cleared in time for the Buffalo express, which picked upthe passengers of the wrecked train anti arrived in New York at the usual time, 10.07 P. M. HINES & SIIEAFF. The vague rumors of the accident last evening caused a good deal of anxiety among people who had friends And relatives coming by the train, and when the Buffolo express arrived at 10 o'clock, great joy was expressed at the safety of the pas sengers. The defective rail that threw the train from the track was undoubtedly broken by the weight of the engine while passing over it, and ibeannot be said i therefore, that the engineer was neglectful of his duty. A wl • • FROM FORTRESS MONROE. PROGRESS OF REGISTRATION. Daring Burglary at Norfolk Another National Cemetery Proposed.' From Foitress Monroe. FoeTuitss 31oratox, June 27. 7 -The work of registration progresses very quietly but slowly in Norfolk, Portsmouth, and their immediate vicinities, the result being, within the ptst few days, a continued gain On the part of the white registers; majority, which energetic endeavors of the citi zens are seeking to overcome. In Norfolk the Ilepublican party are exceedingly active in se curing the registration of all the negro voters, and in this they have succeeded so effectually as to create a belief that the next election, with the help of these agencies. will -be carried •by that party. The Conservatives see the importance of the registration, and though believing that the town is secured beyond a dou , vet they mani fest considerable uneasiness as le time draws near for the polls to close, and the olored regis ters are far 14 advance of the whites. In the Second and Fourth Wards In Norfolk the negroes have a majority of fOur himdred and fifty-seven, but in Portsmouth the whites lead., on the list by three hundred and seventy-seven. The official report from Getly's Station, on the Sea board and Roanoke Railroad, - states that 320 whites and W 8 colored had registered up to yes terday morning, a large increase over the whites. The registration closes iu, one .of the wards in Portsmouth, and also.at tlctly Station. The schooner Mary E. BankS, 'which sailed from Norfolk on the 20th Instant, with a cargo of seven thousand bushels of corn on board, en 6:omit:led heavy weather at sea, and was com pelled to put back to Norfolk, with the loss of sails, etc. . A daring and successful burglary was com mitted last night at the McClellan House, in Nor folk, by which the 'proprietor became the loser of an iron safe. containing money and papers to the amount of five. thousand dollars. The - robbery was committed after Midnight, and when all the inmates of the house had retired. A few of the servants were engaged in packing vegetables even while the robbery was going on. but so skillfully was it planned that they had nut the slightest in timation of the nefarious work. The stolen safe was situated in a sitting-room on the ground floor, in, the rear of the bar-room, and weighed over .a thousand pounds. The burglars then forcibly removed some iron bars which ,protected a rear window, and break- lug through another door,reached the safe, which, by means of bags of straw, they rolled over and over, crossing two yards; and finally reached the street. They then procured n cart, which was In readiness,. and starting for the. river, reshipped the safe in a boat,• and left for points un known, The detectives are on the alert, but the robbery, which was well planned. has taken the city authorities by surprise, and excited some alarm, from the suspicionthat some 'experienced erneksmen are at Work in the city. Major-General J. M. Schofield has lately com pleted an inspecting tour which he has been for some time making among the different cemete ries in Virginia. Adjutant-General Thomas, re cently on a visit to this State. was also engaged in n similar duty, and on'his return to Washing ington,.with the concurrence of Gen. Schofield, suggested that 611 the small cemeteries on the Peninsula and in the vicinity of Norfolk should' be broken tip, and the bodies of the soldiers who Jell on the Peninsula and on the South Side be reinterred in a grand national cemetery,which it is proposed to establish between Fortress Monroe and Hampton. A large cemetery, containingthe bodies of over the thousand soldiers., beautifully adorned with trees and grass-plats, and well laid gravel walks, was completed in this locality about a year ago, and is noW seleeted as the nucleus of this grand cemetery which the Government designs to erect in honor of those who fell hi its defence. The Burial Corps. which were about establishing a cemetery „64 Portsmouth, have been withdrawn four there in consequence of this commendable design, and are now encamped at Camp:Hai - nil-. tun, awaiting instructions , from Washington to commence the removal and reiuterment of the bodies. The location of this Cemetery is an admirable one, being within two miles: of the Fort. and easily llClTS:+ible; It stands in the rear - of the Chesapeake Hospital, whisk, during the vt'ar, contributed materially to occupy its numerous graves by the death of many a wounded and diseased hero. The completion of the Cemetery will be marked by the erection of a large mono- went, which is nearly finished. and the friends of the soldiers who will be burkd beneath its sod will find some consolation in knowing that they have been taken'care of and properly interred by those having the work in charge. Reuben Clark. the proprietor of a small store situated at Mill Creek Bridge. about a mile front the Point, was arrested about two tuouths since, on the charge of killing one of the soldiers by beating him on the head with a club. , lie had a hearing before the County'Court iu Hampton to day, and was discharged from jail on giving bail to he amount of ten thousand dollars for his ap pearance for trial at the September term of the Court. road-Tito Lives •Lost4' PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1.867..

The Pope delivered an allocution to the assem bled prelates," in the course of which he praised their great zeal In coming to Rome from such dis tances and thus evincing their attachment and devotional obedience- to the Holy See.

His Holiness confirmed the Papal condemnation of the errors of the act of October 29, 1865.

At this moment there are four hundred and fifty archbishops and bishops, with shoat thirty thousand clergymen and members of the iiiiterent religious orders in the Eternal City. From the United States ofkinerica are noticed the Archbishops Spalding, of:Baltimore L Kennick. of St. Louis; Odin, of New Orleans: Purcell. of Cincinnati, and Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia, with twenty-two bishops, from other American dioceses in British territory and the Union. When the Pope received the American prelates and clergy at audience they presented him with two hundred thousand dollars in gold coin. They also presented a model of the American yathelrenrietta in silver, the yacht being laden below with gold pieces to the amount of fifty thousand dollars, contributed by the people of the archiepiscopal province of Cincinnati. The presentation of the model of the yacht was made to his Holiness by the Right Rev. James F. Wood, D. D., Bishop. of - Philadelphia. The Pope, who was in excellent humor; lifting the exquisite model of the yacht Henrietta from the case, said, with a gracious smile; "Non an coo- yore '" "It is not a •steamerl" or, as the words • have been more freely translated by some per sons here, "it is not all vapor, or steam' front America, alluding to the golden cargo on board.. , Turning to the clergy, hiS HolinesSsaid that he had only pleasant words to say to the Americans present and absent.

The Disturbance at St. jameOs nun— A Tory rfleeting Broken Vp by the Re formers—Raising the Bed Cup of Liberty, etc. . [From the London Daily News. June 18.] The meeting which was held. or rather at= tempted. to be held by the Metropolitan Work ingmen's ConServative Association holt night, at St. James's Hall, gave: rise twit scene which was as unexpected as it was extraordinary in its cha racter. When the hall was thrown open, shortly after seven o'clock, several of the Reform League took up a position among the front seats, and immediately afterwards Mr. Baxter Langley and Mr: Mantle, who were: loudly cheered, appeared on the' platform, to - the utter bewilderment of the comparatively few Tory sympathi , zers present. Up to a quarter past eight the sidegalleries were almost unoccupied,,and at no period of the evening did the hall contain a third of the number which it is capable of accom modating. The promoters of the Meeting had secured the services of. an organist, but as the music with which the gentleman treated the au dience was considered uninspiring by those who had come together, they loudly cried for theJfar seillaise Ilynan7 Their demand was, however, un heeded, whereupon they immediately got +upon their legs and lustily sang, "We'll rally round the League, boys," amidst cheeringand - waving of hats, and groaning and hissing from their politi cal antagonists. Having triumphed so far, they then called for theec cheers for John Bright, John - Stuart Mill, and Mr. Gladstone, and three groans for the Tories, and the responSeslu each case proved the dis sentients in the body Of the hall to be In a decided minority.. About 8 o'clock Mr.--R.-N. Fowler, who was announced to preside, entered the hall. His appearance was the signal for groaning and hooting on the part of the adherents of the Re form League, and cheering front the supporters of the association. As soon as he had been moved to the chair, Mr. Mantle stepped to the front of the platform, and expressed his Intention to move an amendment. A scene of uproar and confusion at once ensued The.leaguers received Mr. Mantlewith deafening cheers and waving of hats, while the upholders of the conservative cause became furious. Sir Drunimond Wolfe, In the interest of Mr:Fowler, tried - to get a hearing, but his remark that that gentleman was a friend of the working-man evoked ironical shouts from the leaguers, which compelled him to resume - his seat. Mr. Mantle, in the midst of the prevailing - uproar, Moved Mr. Baxter Langley to the chair, and the motion having readily found a' seconder in the person of Mr. Luerafti was' - put, and, as far as we could judge, carried by a large majority. Mr. Langley and, Mr. Fowler, and their imme diate backers, now stood in close proximity, and their contest for supremacy became more' and more fierce and exciting. Both parties hustled 'each other, and the excitement culmi nated in an attempt to drive Mr. Langley from the platform. This act incensed the leaguers, and a rush from the body of the hall was at once- made to the rescue of Mr. Langley. A fight between 'both parties was the reauit - The table at which the chairman was to liaVe"sat was tumbled down on to that provided for the accom modation of reporters, and the.chairs were used as weapons of attack, together With sticks, which some ofthepartlestiad brought.* ' ln the midst of the melee; Dr. Perlin raised the Republican cap Of as•did Mr.-Osbortse .one of the Reform League flags, and the supporters of the League, thus led • looiz alntokt complete possession Of OUR WH OLE COUMCRY. the platform. The conservative supporters, how ever, seemed Oetermlned to hold their ground, but at this juncture they were overpowered, and in the struggle several were thrown from the platform andd seriously hurt. The fighting, Which up' to this had been almost confined to those on • the platform and near It, then becanie general. The yelling.. shouting acrd uproar were indescrffiable. The occupants of the sidg, galleries were, with few exceptions, friends of fhe association, and the secretary of the Re form Leagire (Mr. 'Howell), .who -unfortunately took his stand in one of them, received a serious wound near. the eye. So.iie of Reform League parties observed him, and sprang from the seats to the platform, to Iretaliute, on his assail ants. They were proceeding to do so, - and to clear this part of the hall, when a score of policemen suddenly - entered: 'A conspicuous - member - of - ths - assaclatioirexcitedir - appealed-to-, the officer in charge to take Mr. 'Mantle into cus tody, and his desire was obeyed without a mo-. meat's hesitation. • After ionic exertion on the•part of the police, the proceedings became less uproarious, and ultimately Mr. Fowler essayed to address the meeting. It was, however, found itnpossible to allay the angry feelings that had been aroused, and as confusion and disorder were too great to admit- of his being heard, he . addressed him self to the reporters. The subsequent proceedings were confined to cheering and groaning, and to noisy discussions amongst persons who formed themselves 'into knots in various parts of the hall. About ball past 1 o'clock the gas was extinguished, and the hall was cleared by the police. The Peers Shaking off Their Indolent Habits—An Improvement Promised in the House of Lords—The Thunr dererls Advice Heeded. - (From the Louden Titnea. June 18.] We are glad to no tice.one. _most_ encouraging feature in the condition of the House of . Lords. That ancient Assembly is still young. It evi dently possesses all the sensitiveness and docility of a tender and well-disposed youth. Under the influence of a combination of indisposing cir cumstances the Peers had allowed themselves to drift into a practical forgetfulness of their duties. Pb use the language of schools, "truancy and absenteeism" were ruining their character and their usefulness. Many of them never came to the House, and the - few who came were very irregular in their attendance. At length the public, which claims a general right of inspection over all public, institutions, and occasionally steps in, began to feel its patience exhausted, and_gave expression to a friendly remonstrance. With well-disposed scholars a hint is always sufficient, and in-the present instance it has been obeyed with the most charming alacrity. To be plain, we cannot but congratulate the Peers on the signs of juvenescence they exhibited yesterday. Irwas the first day of their meeting after the Whitsuntide recess, and the "reassembling of the Upper House" was a reality, and not a name. Thera was a very considerable attendance. The scholars reappeared in their old phiees, and . the :deserted • benches looked alive and cheerful once more. This is the more ereditable,as there was nothing particularly attractive on the notice paper, and attendance must have been prompted by a real sense of duty. * * * The best muu, says the old moralist, is he who himself knoWs what he ought to do, and does it. The second is he who will hear and follow the advice of others; but he.who will do neither the one nor the other is useless. Judged by' this test, the House of Lords has shown that It is not yet useless. They can hear advice, and we trust they will soon tivance to the 'condition of independence, and will show that they know their duty not only by intending to dolt but by doing it. We do not earn to ana lyze the feeling Which must have prompted their recent abnegation of their functions; but there could at least be no greater mistake than to suppose that the House of Peers is devoid of in fluence. Its influence has not of late been appa-• rent, because no attempt has beeri made to exer .eise it, but let it be fully put forth, and its reality will soon be perceived. It is true the power of the Upper House:4lllst be cautiously used. But, unless their advantages be willfully thrown away. no body of men in the world can command so much attention and even deference from their countrymen. In the case of many oftheir members this attention mi"lit be claimed on the common ground . ' of •abilities and ' eloquence. But the traditions and the „inalienable position of the 1 - louse of Peers in this country insure them a corporate re spect which might be turned to the greatest ad vantage. As a strictly deliberative Assembly, they might possibly even take the lead of. the Lower house, and the more strictly representative the Lower House becomes, the greater will be this opportunity. That this position may be attained, nothing is necessary but a real andlctive atten tion to public affairs on the part of the Peers hi general. That is surely a small prize to pay for' retaining and even augmenting go vast an influ- • ence. Let us hope that we have seen the last of the old Spirit of indifferelice, and that the present moment may prove to be the commencement of a more vigorous career. The Washington correspondent of the New York'Herald has the following , • . lifformatiou received here from Richmond this evening states that the recent tremendous rains in North Carolina have produced an unprecedented amount of damage in the agricultural districts. Hyde county is said to be, as it were, one broad field of water, and some of the finest plantations in Edgecombe 'are reported to be from one to two feet ,under water. In Brunswick the damage is fearful. The rice plantations have suffered se riously, spart of the crop having been washed en tirely away. Several large rice fields near Wihuing ton are several feet deep in water. The latest ac. counts state the damage to the planting interest throughout the State is fearful to contemplate.. The cotton crop is almost entirely annihilated, fertilizers and manures having been completely washed out, while the corn crop has sustained very serious injury. The consequences of this fearful disaster to the agricultural interests will be most terrible, the energy of the farmers hav ing been directed to bring about ari abundant yield this year. The only course left to pursue is to push ahead and plough up the remnants of the damaged crops, and eudeaTOr to re-plant as far as possible with corn. At best It is a very great risk, and the yield will depend entirely on the seasons. Jtifgistration in Louisiana. Gen. Grant has received the following despatch from Gen.

HOUSSCaII his Successor. relleVed 'and succeeded iu the command of the Fifth 111111tary District by Gen. Rousseau. It ap pears that tire report COMO from military officers in New . Orleans, who, it is supposed, get their information through the War Department. There it, however, no shadow of. foundation fp'r the re port that Sheridan will be relieved, nor have the Tresident and ittenibdrs of the Cabinet entertained the idea of flupplaiiting the Commander of the Fifth District by assignment of Gen. Rousseau to that command. Geu. Sheridan will not be dis turbed, but some .of his. acts, such as the ap pointment of Levee Commissioners, are to be re voked daring the coming week. FROM NEW YOUIL.
