On Thursday morning of last week, a fire broke out in the stable of Mr. Bell, '.ihich was consumed, together with Mr. Michael Butz's stable, and one bcloninc: to John J. Burke. The fire extended to Mixells Board Vard, which was saved by the exertions of the firemen and citizens. Another. On Tuesday morning, be tween twelve and one o'clock, the cottage of W:n. B. Levan, was destroyed by fire. The building was occupied by Mr. Stod dard, who was absent at the time, and lost every article in the building. The fires are supposed to be the work of incendiaries: and the loss, will be a seri oub one to tho owners, as there was no insurance on tho property destroyed. Killed by a Child. A man was killed in Clark co., (Ark.) on the 29th ultimo, by a child about nine or ten years old. The child's father was engaged in a fist fight with another man, wlit-n the child ran up aud stuck a knife in "his fither's adversary, killing him al most instantly.

Wc have intelli nee this evening from Norfolk, via Pe-K-isbiirg, to Sunday noon. The mortali ty was terrible. There were 40 deaths in .Norfolk on Saturday, and 15 in Ports mouth from sunset on Saturdaytill da' :aht on Sunday. TLe report was prob ably exaggerated. Twenty more nurses have been sent on from New-Orleans. Six physicians are sick at Norfolk, in truding Drs. McFadden and Quigenfeuse, of Philadelphia. Rev. Joseph Ashwaul-U-u, a priest of Georgetown, is sick. Sis t r Mary Ann, of Georgetown, is also ve r3 ill. The Siege of Sebastopol. It has been officially announced to the! Btitish Government that the commanding tfiiccrs of the forces of the Allies in the Crimea had determined to resume the tombardmeut of Sebastopol on the 17th of August. In military circles at Vien na, as we learn from the newspapers, the opinion is decidedly favorable to the sue cess of the Allies in this assault. The Military Gazette, which for some time has Loped and predicted in favor of Russia, now gives its voice in favor of tho besicr- crs. It sa'S the French engineers have now got so near to the east fort and the Karabeluaia fortiGcations that the first Russian line of defence can hardly with stand the next assault. Gen. Churleff di rects the defence of the Karabelnaia. It is inferred, by his latest measures, that, while prepared for the worst, ho is rc holved to defend his ground to the utmost. The latest telegraphic intelligence sent from London to Liverpool on the 18th ul timo, to be forwarded by the steamer Canada, is as follows : "The Loudon 'News's says that, owing to rumors circulated yesterday of unfa vorable news having arrived fro'm the Cri mea, the English funds experienced a de cline of . Afterward this decline was fully "recovered, on rumors of the repulse of the Russians." Caking an Ex-Judge. Last week, N. B. Eldred, iu beliaif of the bar of the 22ud Judicial District, presented Judge Porter, late of said District, a splendid Oak Cane, with a highly wrought Masonic gold head. Judge Porter acknowledged the preeejit by suitable letter. Gov. Seeder Candidate for CougreES. The Kansas correspondent of the Mis souri Jicpublicaji, writing ou the 17th of igust, says: "I mentioned in my last that I did not know when Recder would leave. It i now thought that he will remain in the Territory, to become the Administration candidate for Congress. "Thoro has been an cffoit made to organize a Democratic party in Kansas, and the makers of this effort hope, by nominating Reader, to get tho Abolition vote, and if possible carry the election. Such now is the talk, and such the impression. I cannot vouch for either. Latter from Jiidgo Wiimoi. Judge Wilmot writes to a Committee of Susquehanna co. in regard to the Re publican movement, as follows : I was rejoiced to see that your Commit tee were moving in the right direction. If the high handed encroachments of Slaverr upon the rights of the people ami State if its dangerous assaults upon the Constitution, and the hitherto well-settled laws of the country, are to he met and ar rested in our dav, it will be uudtr and through the organization of a "Rcpu'Ji can party" a party that shall not strive to ignore the momentous issues forced upon the country by the aggressions of the Slave Power, but that shall boldly meet those issues, and make them the cardinal and fundamental basis of its organization. In haste, yours truly, D. WILMOT. Threatened ITcgro Insurrection in Missis sippi. From the Marion (Miss) Republican, Aug. 21 Judge Watts informs us that a serious and extensive combination or organiza tion has been discovered among the ne groes near Garlandaviile, Jasper county. It seems that an old negro, about Go years old, was at tho head of it. lie sustains the reputation of being a conjuror, aud the negroes were in the habit of applying to him as a great phyMciau or conjurer, who could cure all kinds of diseases J. HI" fol- facts, so far developed, are biiefly a lows : A trustworthy negro, on a neighboring plantation, after haiug received pledges of secresv, revealed the existence of the conspiracy to an overseer, and requested him to repair to a ccitain place in the midst of a dark unfrequented swamp, aud see for himself. The overseer did not go, but the next morning he took with him some friends, and went to the spot desig nated by the faithful negro. '1 here they aw every indication of a large crowd having been assembled; horses had been tied up. fires kinled, and from appearances they calculated that upwards of one hun dred negroes had there assembled on the preceding night. The left the spot and the neighborhood was quickly alarmed. Several negroes were taken up, and among them the leader, or old conjurer. The greatest excitement was prevailing in the country. A council was held, and it was decided that the negroes should bV hung immediately. Ropes were procured and the sentence of tho council was about to be executed, when the crowd relented, fearing lest the innocent should perish with the guilty. The negroes were then severely whip ped, and they confessed that the conspira cy extended throughout a large section of country;that there existed several other or ganizations, which they called 'schools,' in the neighborhood, aud that their object was to organize in sufficient force and march, increasing their force as they went, to a free State. No arms or ammunition of any kind could be discoverd, but the negroes con fessed that they were to meet atGarlands ville next Saturday niiiht to make a start. ben asked why they selected that place as a rendezvous they could give no reason, and the presumption is that they intended to sack the place and mur - der the inhabitants. Two white men, they say, have been among them, but their names were not known by the negroes, nor was anything developed which could identifv them. Arms and ammunition are probably concealed somewhere, assuch a scheme would never have been attempt ed without them. It is supposed that such an organiza tion or 'school' exists near Chunkeyville, in this county, and we recommend that a vigilant sj-stem of patrols be at once a doptcd throughout the country. Sucpi cioua characters and known abolitionists exist among us, and we cannot be too vig ilant in watching over our slaves and thereby protecting them from the vile in fluences which arc known to exist in our county. The Snake Story. Itseems the monster snake discovered a bhort time since in Silver Lake, and which has created so much excitement in the Western part of the State, has not been taken after all, though there are per sons in the vicinity of the Lake who ap pear to think there is no doubt but there is a serpent there yet. Ono Edward Fanning makes affidavit thaton Wedues- day evening, loth iust., he saw the crea ture, which now appeared to be about a hundred feet iu length, with a head a foot in diameter and a body in proportion. I he story purporting to bo from a cor respondent of the Buffalo Republic, is sup posed to have originated with the local editor of that paper, who, it is surmised, occasionally sees pretty large snakes in his boots. We dare sav he had a trlimnse of a monster when ho elaborated the monster story; but so far from having captured the creature, the creature cap tured him. The snake has dived, and come upin Skaneatelcs Lake, longer and larger than ever. So thoy say at Syracuse. Trib. We once heard a lady say, who was re quested by a bachelor, somewhat advan ced iu years, to take a seat upon his knee, while in a crowded sleigh. 'No, thank you,' said she 'I am afraid such au old seat would break down with me.' Appalling Disaster on the Camden and Ainboy Railroad. On Wednesday, August 29th, a terrible accident occurred on the Camden & Aui boy railroad, about a mile above Burling ton, caused by the cars coming in collision with a light pleasure wagon and horses. which were attempting to cross the track. The following facts we extract from our exchanges : The train of cars which left Philadel phia at ten o'clock on Wednesday morn ing, consisting of five passenger cars, bag jac carr and locomotive, had reached Burlington just before eleven o'clock. It then stopped, waiting for the arrival of the 3 o clock iNow lork train from Jer sey city, which passes at this place. Af ter waiting for from five to ten minutes, and the New York train not appearing, tho Philadelphia train went forward slow ly, watching for the approach of the down ward train. It had gone forward about a mile and a quarter, when the New York train came in sight. The whistle for the breaks and to reverse the engine was blown, and the Philadelphia train com menced backing, aud scon got under rap id headway for Burlington again. In this reverse movement the passenger cars, usually placed behind and coming after the locomotive, were now in front and pushed forward by the locomotive. The engineer, being with the locomo tive, of course had not the- advantage of seeing what was ahead of the backward going train. He had run but a quarter of a mile, and a mile from Burlington, when the first passongcr car come in col lision with a light pleasure wagon, driven by Dr. Hannegan, of Columbus, New Jer sey, who attempted to cross the track in front of the cars. The wagon contained Dr. Hannegan, his wife, and two children. The former, it is said, is hard of hearing, and by this imfirmity caused au accident nearly similar, but not so fatal, near Bev erly, about a year ago. The doctor had seen the cars pass as he was driving down the road, and, supposing all safe, neglect eu to keep a proper lookout I he tir.-t passenger car struck the two! horses in fhc wagon just as they were j crossing the track, killed them instantly, I and threw one thirty feet on" ono side of! the track and the other fort yards on the j other side. The wagon was turned round j and upset, none of its inmates being In- j jurcd except in slight bruses. The front car, (A,) after striking the horses, ran forward and off the track about one hun dred yards and over a small cmbankmeut; the second (H) was thrown directly across the track; the third car (C) went through car (B) and stopped diagonally across the road; tho fourth car (D) followed and ran into car C. The fifth passenger car and the baggage car stopped without leaving the track. The two latter were not in jured, but three of the other passenger cars were knocked to pieces, and many of their occupants were killed, wounded,and maimed. It is impossible to describe the horrible scene that ensued. The cars were piled upou each other, and numbers of human beings were lying among the ruins some dead, some dying, some shrieking from pajn Those saved in the train and the i passengers on the down traiu, aided by citizens of Burlington, who were quickly informed of the terrible accident, went to work to rescue the wounded and dying from the ruins. As soon as taken out they were convc3ed to Burlington, where man private houses, as well as Agnew's and Kelly's taverns, were thrown open to the admission of the wounded, while the Lyceum was appropriated for the recep tion of the dead. Some had been crushed to death instmtly, leaving scarcely a trace to recognise them by; some had been torn limb from limb bT the splinters, benches, and floors, and their remain j scattered in every direction; many were suffering from crushed lirubs,brokeu backs, land injured and lacerated bodies, 1 The scene was a heart-sickening one; j but. all its terrors, there were noble in- stances of resignation, a seir-sacnucing spirit from the sufferer, which honored human nature. One gentleman, the Hon. Wm. B. McClay, ex-member of Congress from New York, who was severely injured, begged those who came to his aid to give their attention to others more dangerous ly wounded. One individual, with his foot crushed, refused to receive the aid of the doctors till they had relieved the suf ferings of others vho scorned more to re quire medical" assistance. It was nearly an hour before all the dead and wounded were extricated and placed iu the hands of persons ready to aid them. Eleven dead bodies were ta ken out of the ruins, and others were so badly injured that they died as soon as they got to the hotel at Burlington. It is supposed that from fifty to sixty persons have been wounded, some seriously and others only slightly The following is a list of the killed and wounded as near as could be ascertained in the excitement, confusion, and distress the melancholy occurrence produced : Killed.

As soon as the bodies were extricated coffins were procured for the dead, in which their bodies were placed, and the names of the deceased marked upon the top. All business in the town wa3 sus pended, and there was a constant stream of persons going in aud coming out the Lyceum who were curious to see the bod ies, while the houses in which the wound ed had been placed were thronged. Each boat and train arriving from Pbila pelphia brought friends of those who were passengers on the fated train, all of whom were seen seeking trom house to house for tidings of those who were near and dear to them. The whole scene was ter rihlc to witness and will not soon be for gotten. One car contained only eeven ladies, all of whom wore injured except one. Two gentlemen, in one of the cars which was broken up, got out safely, but in what way or .manner they could not tell One of them recollects getting on the out side of tho car and jumping upon tho bank ot earth; that is all he knows of tue frightful and tragical affair. Important to Business Men. The Star of the North says 'Of all the act passed by the last legislature, that which will most interest the business community is the enactment of a portion of the British statutes of trade, which will require all contracts to be made in writ ing, and to be signed by the person who is desigded to he held liable. In the fol lowing cases they will bo entirely void if they depend only on verbal evidence : 1. Where it is designed to charge the defendant, upon any special promise, to answer for the debt, default or miscarriage of another peson. This will apply to all assumptinu where tho engagement is col lateral and not original. 2. Upon any contract or sale of lands, or any interest in or concerning them. A part of this same statute was adopted in 1772, which declared void all contracts for any interest in real estate for a long er term than three years. H. Upon any agreement which is not to be performed within one year from the making thereof. This act is to go into operation on the Grst of January next, and is to apply to all cases where the subject of the agree ment exceeds 820. It has long been in force in some states of the Union, and is adapted to a condition of society like that of England and the Eastern Slatea, whero all businessmen havo a good commercial education. How will it work where young men, after an apprenticeship, start a fam ily and a shop upon 'their own hook,' and and enter into business before they under 'y' any of its detail?, rem? ins to bo A Catholic Church blown up in Ohio. A letter dated Sidney, Ohio, Aagust 22, says : Our village has been in much confu sion since yesterday morning, caused by the blowing up of a Catholic church on Saturday night. It was one of the bold est and most daring acts that I ever knew, being done about 10 o'clock on Satur day night the church standing only the width of a street from a dwelling house. No clue has yet been had to the fiends en gaged in this outrage. A reward has been offered by the Council, and a meeting of the citizens will be held to-day. In a lb:. The Allied army before Sebastopol now numbers some 180,000 men; they have tried in vain to get into the city, and the Russians have completely hem med them iu and cut off ail prospect of a land retreat. There is no way left but to escape by ship-board, which in our opin ion must result in great losa whenever at tempted. If they' put their cannon on board first, the Russian army may attack and cut off the men; or, if they ship the men first then their artillery must fall in to the hands of the enemy. There ap pears to be no way but for the Allies to retain their position until Russia may sec fit to let them depart in peace. Balloon Ascension on Horseback. On the 20th ult., Mr. Elliott made a balloon ascension from the city of St. Lou is on horseback. The horse was har nessed to the aerial car, and a given sig nal, with Mr. Elliott on his back, they ascended into the regions of air. The horse's hoof never for a moment "clawed the air," but he contented himself by ga zing at the peculiar situation of things. As far as the eye could reach both horse and rider seemed to be getting along qui etly but safely. It is said that they land ed safel' near the mouth of the Mississip ni river. TRIAL LIST SEPT.
