It was feared lliul the Emperor of Russia would decline lo withdiAw hi force from the D.inubian Principalities', ns stipulated in the propositions of the three Powers, ntul the English nnd Fiench fleets would, in thai case, be ordered to pass lliu Dardanelles, and thus tho peaceful setllcment of the difficulty be greatly retarded. Tho Egyptian fleet, with 12,000 men, ar med at Constantinople on the 19ih. Admiral Dundas of the English fleet, with alt hit captains, bad been on a visit of recon. nuissauce to the Tuikish foilresses. . There was a rumor prevalent at Vienna of a secret trenty having been concluded be tween the United States and the Porte, and the probable cession of Marmarizza to the United States. Three American frigate wore also said lo be in the Uosplmrns. Another Ministerial crisis was feared at Constantinople. A telegraphic dispatch, from Constantino ple, of the SO'.h of July, states that the Porte and the Representatives of the Great Powers had accepted the proposition of the Austiian Minister, which arranged that the English and French fleets should withdraw from Be ica Bay, whilst the Russians evacuated the Danubian provinces. Turkey would then send an Ambassador to open the negotiations at St. Petersburg. The London Morning Chronicle re-affirms that the United States had offered the Porte money and active forces. A conference was to be opened at Vienn at the consent of Russia. Great uneasiness was also caused by intel ligence that a decree had been issued by the Czar, ordering a fresh levy of recruits throughout the empire, w hich act was inter preted us a war measure. The principality of Moldavia had declared itself independent of the Porte, and refused to pay further tribute lo Tuikey. A similar movement was also expected to be made in Wallachia. It is asserted that tho Porle intends addres sing an ultimatum lo Rus.-ia, in which, after paying due regard to the rights of the Sul tan's Christian subjects, the declaration will lie made that, if in spite of there repeated assurances, the Czar should persist in offer ing war, Jhe pnrte is resolved lo accept it, but that the responsibility must lie with Rus sia. This document, it is further asserted, has been communicated to tho Ambassadors of France and England. Orders had been sent to the Ilospodars of Moldavia and Wallachia, commanding them l . ,nii the Principalities, and retiie to the right bank of the Danube. A Frenchman, named Edward Ragnaud, had been arrested at Southampton, on the charge of having conspired with others, to murder the Emperor Napoleon. Hrf was la ken ! Loudon for examination. - ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. STIU, LATER EROM F-UKOrE. Halifax. August 10. The Royal Mail Steamer America arrived here this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, with Liverpool dates to Satur day, the 6th inst., being three days later than the advices per steamer Humboldt ; brings 114 passengers Tub Russo Turkish Question. The Eastern question is supposed to be near a decision, one way or iho other but the indications are generally considered less satisfactory. The Czar's final answer to the proposition of the Great Powers, could not be known at London before the 12th inst. His troops now in Moldavia and Wallachia, must be withdrawn, as this is stipulated as the sine qua non of the proposed terms. In case of his acceptance, a conference will be held at Vienna, in pursuance of the arrange ment, and a treaty will be concluded lo pro tect Turkey in all lime coming, from further encroachments. If the Czar refuses this ultimatum, or evades direct and explicit reply, the allied fleets of England and France wiM enter the Bosphorus at once, and other further active measures will be taken lo maintain the in tegrity of Turkey. The present conduct of the Russian Gen erals in cotnmand of the Czar's forces in the Principalities, indicate an intention to main- lain permanent possession of that teriitory, and Russia just now shows r.o signs of reti ac tion in any respect. The Kosta ArrAia. -The Frankfort Jour nal says, that Austiia not only will demand reparation from America for tho Kota afT.iii at Smyrna, but will aUo demand that Tin Ley shall immediately procmeilu extradition ol KoU. A letter fiom Petersburg in regard lo this same matter says, that when the Czar heard of the Kosta difficulty at Smyrna ha at oi.d' advised Austria to do anything rather than gi'ut t!u United Stales a pretext fur interfering in the afairs of Europe. The bulk of the Russian army was advan cing at the last accounts iutu WulUchia. The Russian admiral hnd goue to S.ibasto pol to review the fleet. The Russians were fuitifying Jasy and Bucharest.

The question of continuing their prrsen' system of nomination (the plurality or Crawford county system) came up and was warmly discussed. The opponents to the new system contended that Ihe boroughs had greatar power than the townships.

In New York ninety cases of this kind occurred on Sunday and sixt) the day before, almost all resulting in death. The year 1853, and especially the present season, will be remembered as a remarkable one, in the records of "death' doings," from acci dents, epidemics and other causes. The frequent and appalling acoidents that 4iave lately occurred on some of our principal rail roads, have shocked the whole country, and terrified, not only the timid, but te bold and stoul hearted. These accidents are near ly all the icsult of carelessness gross and neg ligence. The lives of a whole train of cars, freighted with human beings, is often left to depend upon the direction of an engineer or conductor, who looks upon his load as so much freight. The principal danger of rail road travelling is Iho collision of cars from opposite directions. This is one of the evils of a single track. Had there been a double track on the Camden and Amboy road, and on tho Worcester road, no snob, accidents would have occurred, and it is reallv aslon- ihina that mails.' so much travelled, and yielding such larjie revenues, should rely on single track. A clause should be inserted i every tail road dialer rettrielinir all sinele track rail roads lo six per cent., until an ad ditional track is laid. Over the Camden and Amboy road, between Philadelphia and New Voik, the travelling is immense, there being less than fourteen passenuer trams daily passing over the road. The cars on the Camden road, nt tho late accident, weredriv- i into each other. A friend who was in e New Voik train, with his wifo and two cliildien, one in his arms, and the other on the lap of his wife, were pushed forward by Iho entering ear, two thirds of its length, carryii'2 him anil his bov to tho ton on the crushed timbers, while his wife and child were forced out at the bottom, all escaping any serious injury. Jas. McCormick, Esq., IJarrisburr, with his wife and daughter, I Miss A ricks and Miss Beuhler. were in tho same ear. At the renuest of Mr. Mc Cormick, Miss Atricks exchanged seats with old lady. Ten minutes after, the old ady was rrmdied lo death, and nil near hrr. on that side. Ilmv true it is thai in "ilm midst of life we are in death !!' The ravages of the yellow fever in New Orleans are terrible. The deaths for the eek ending on the (jlh inst. amounts to ,134, of these 947 are by yellow fever. Truly we should be Ihankftl that our :ot was cast in a more healthy climate.

Mr. Jackson of Caibondale, in this State, who served two year in Ihe Legislature with Judge Knof, pay Ihe following merited tribute to his ability, character and worth, in a letter to the Caibondale Citizen : Mr. Editor , Sir I perceive Gov. Big ler has again displayed hi good judgment by supplying the place of the late lamented Judge Gibson, of the Supreme Bench, now deceased, by Ihe appointment of ihe Hon. Judge Knox, of Tioga. During the Sessions of '46 and '47, 1 had Ihe honor ol" forming his acquaintance by being seated during the Session, next his elbow. He was plain and unassuming in manner, attentive to Ihe busi ness that immediately concerned his con stituents, and also kept a good lookout for the general interests of the Slate. Being an advocate of progressive Demociacy, he was brought forward for Speaker of the House, and received every democratic vote ; but as the Democrats were in the minority, Mr. Cooper, Whig,' was elected in his place. Courteous in his manners, and ever ready to lend assistance to junior members of either House, he was surrounded by friends of boih political parties. Judge Knox is yet a young man not yet having arrived at what may be termed the meridian of life nnd bids fair to be one of the brightest ornaments of the old Keystone. Should he receive a nom ination iu the Stale Convention, (which no doubt he will.) if life is spared, I shall give him my hearty support. If honesty and in dustry combined with clear judgment, is a passport worth having, Judge Knox will re ceive tho votes of tho masses of Ihe people. Yours, &c, Caibondale, June, 1854. N. Jackson. OTEXIXO OF TRADE WITH JAFAN. We have been surprised, says tho Journal of Commerce, at the confidence, felt by some of the officers of the Japan expedition, that they should succeed in effecting a commer cial arrnngement with the country, hitherto closed to the commerce of Christendom, ex cept Holland, and to the latter under many restrictions. Perhaps the annexed paragraph from a California paper, will throw some light upon tho subject : "A business transaction took place a few days since, that is likely to be productive of important results in the history of the com mercial world. A purchase ol 100,000 pounds of rice was made by one of our most respec table Chinese merchants, which it is propo snd to ship lo Japan on board the ship Ham ilton, which is now under Chinese colois, having been purchased from her American owners by two wealthy Chinese merchants. The Chinese have long been on trading terms with the Japanese, and their vessels are allowed lo enter their ports and trade. The undertaking is a novel one, and, in the event of its succeeding, it would not re. quire the foresight of a prophet to predict a very sudden increase in the mercantile ma rine ol China, which would soon be able to show as handsome a fleet of clippers as any nation in ihe world. It would not be strange were it to happen that ihe opening of ihe ports of Japan should be brought about by Chinese who have setiled in California. Indeed, we are strongly inclined lo tho be lief that such will bo the case, and that the world will yet have lo acknowledge them selves indebted to California lor it all. Th'' powerful changes going on throughout the woild the result of ihe gold discoveries are every day becoming more and more ap parent, and il would not be piesumptive to Biippuse uiai me pons oi japan would be as free lo the world before three year as are those of China now."

Meeting of two Trains on the Worcester Rail roadFrightful Loss of Life Fourteen Bodies taken from the Wreck so far. Providence, August 12. This morning a collision took place on the Providence and Worcester Railroad, near the Boston junction, between the regular train, which left this city al 71, A. M, and an excursion tram, coming from Uxbridge, which left there al 6 20. The latter train consisted of eight first class passenger cars. When the reporter left, 14 dead bodies had been taken from the ruins of tho two trains. Both the locomotives were crushed, and the cars shattered. Mr. Southwick, Iho engineer, wa consi derably injured, by jumping from the cars. Mr. Tafi, the President nf the road was on Ihe train, but escaped with but slight injury. The accident is attributed lo a difference of two minute lime in the watches of the en gineers. The Boston train stopped for nearly an hour, at the scene of the disaster, having reached there a few moments after Ihe oc currence Biid those on board promptly ren dered every assistance lo the unloi lunate victims of the dreadful accident. Among the killed is the Rev. Mr. Finney, rector of Grace Church, Providence. Also, the w ife of Mr. John Richmond of Provi dence. The wounded were, as soon as possible, removed back lo Pawtucket, where they received prompt medical assistance. Tho effects of the collision o:i the excursion train was terrific beyond description. The first car was smashed to atoms, and the sec ond car was driven bodily into the third car. Throe persons, w hilst in iho act ol escaping through the windows were killed, being mangled in a most horrible manner. One of them, a boy, had his arm torn fiom Ihe socket. lie died immeiiialelv. Nine dead bodies were taken fiom the wreck, and deposited siJe by side on the grass at Valley Falls, presenting a most heart-rending spectacle. They have not yet boon identified' Many persons were badly wounded. The most of those killed or fatally injured were in the third car. Many of those in the first car were dreadfully injured. The train from Providence consisted of only two cars. They were much shattered, and many of the passengnrs were badly hurt ; but none were killed or dangerously injured. The fireman of Ihe Uxbridge train was killed. He leaves a wife and family. Most of those killed and wounded reside either at Uxbridge or Whilinsvilie. Boston, Aug. 12. A reporter has jusi re turned from the scene of the railroad acci dent. Two brothers, named Bolton, were dying when he left. A man, named Rogers, of Whitiusville, and a Mrs. Mallory are dead. The Coroner's jury have adjourned iheir investigation until to-morrow. With the exception of two or three, all those killed were factory operatives. The rest of tho wounded, it is thought, will recover, though some will lose some of their limbs. The scene of the accident was at a curve where the embankment is 30 feet high. An old man, named R. B. Butts, of Midville, and his grandson, a hid 10 years of age, were thrown out of one of tho shattered cars down the embankment, and yet escaped with but trifling injury. The total number killed is Id, neatly all being factory hands. There are about 25 wounded some very badly. The collision occurred at a sharp curve, beyond Central Falls ; the down train was behind time, and proceeded at the rate of 40 miles an hour to reach the switch, from which there is a double track to Providence. In one minute the train would havo reach ed Ihe switch; tho up train wailed Ihe usual limH at Pawtucket, and then, having tho right to the road, proceeded at a slow rale around the curve. ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Baltimore, Aug. 12. A nassenger train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, while passing through the switch at Cameron, twenty-seven miles east of Wheeling, ran off the track. Three cars, containing over one hundied passengers, were upsel, but no one killed or severely injured. Thirty or forty passengers were sliuhtly biuised and scratch ed. Two men, lately discharged froin tho service of the Company, are strongly suspect ed of having turned Ihe switch, to thro.v ihe train off the track for revenge. They will be arrested to night. The passenger held a meeting immediately after, and acquitted the Company of all blame. FROM .M1.MIO. New Ohleans, August 11.

At Georgetown, the Baptist parsonage was struck by lightning, and the wife of the pastor, (he Rev. Mr. Russel, wa Instantly killed by the sttoke.

At Lowell, Lawrence, Haverhill, Newbury port Old Town, Ipswich, &e , much damage was done and several buildings were struck. At Lowell tho Universalis! Church was struck. The Fishery Question. British De mands. A correspondent of the New York Express says that the British Government has put forwarci Ihe follow ing demands as Iho condition for tho settlement of the Fish ery Question : 1st. The admission of British built vessels to Ihe privilege of American Register. 2d. The free admission of Ihe British flag lo tho coasting tiade between the Ame rican, Atlantic and Pacific Ports. 3d. The abolition of oui present bounties to American Cod fishery. 4th. A fuither modification of our TurifT of course w ith a view to favor British in terests. And, 5;h. These demands if correctly staled, are too unreasonable lo secure even ihe re spectful consideration of Congress, and have already put a close to the negotiations lhat were in progress. It will he seen lhat every one of the items would require the Legisla. tive action of the two Houses before any treaty stipulations of I lie kind could go into effect. To grunt them would be in direct and obvious opposition lo the interest of oui agriculturists, our manufacturers, our ship owners, and cur tiheimen. Another IIuncaiuen Rescued from Aus tria.
