Dreadful Accident on the samd t en and Amboy Railroad The most frightful accident that has ever occurred on the Camden and Amboy Railroad happened last Tuesday afternoon about four o'clock, at Old Bridge, about 8 miles south of Amboy. The engineer of the train from AM boy was driving on at his utmost speed, to gain lost time,, when he saw the train from Camden, with five full passenger cars, coming at its usual speed, and in an instant the, two trains came in collision with a moat fearful shock. The locomOtives were jammed togoth. or in ono common ruin, without being thrown froretho traok, and several of the, passenger cars were destroyed. Four passengers—onb man, two women and to child—were instantly killed, and many others were injured, some fatally.. The trains were going at the rate of thirty miles an hour at the time of the col: lision. The most serious results were in the two foremost passenger cars 'in the train from New York. Eight persons were entangled in the ruins, and half an hour ''Olapsed before they were all extricated. Among the injured were Mr.-and Mrs. James McCormick, of Harrisburg, and two Miss McCormicks, all slightly.' Miss - M. Buehler and Miss Alricks, who wore travelling in their company were also slightly bruised,— Another werrino Collision. Telegraphii [Lawless from Providenoo, ono illifi t Enn,:;th. Providence and Worcester aputo, on Friday morning. It took place near the Boston junction, between the regular train from Beston and an excursion train going to Boston, and is attributed to a difference of two minutes time in the watches of the engi neers. Some twelve or fifteen are reported to have been killed, and from twenty to thirty, badly wounded. When will this system of wholesale murder cease? A stringent and efficient,rernedy must be applied. Still Another Accident. WIIRELIZIG, August 12th.—The express pas senger train from Baltimore, on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, yesterday afternoon, 'was thrown off the track when passing through a switch at Cameron, 27 miles from this city. Tho ball or lover fell down, which by changing the track threw three of the care, crowded with passengers, entirely off. They were upset, but strange to say out of over 100 la dies and -gentlemen, not- one was killed or seriously wounded. Some 20 or 30 are slight ly bruised und scratched. Day-On Monday week, when the passenger train' on the New Joisey Railroad was about crossing the Hackensack bridge, an alarm was created among the iassengers by a nervous gentleman suddenly exclaiming that the draw was open, and a man named &mot, in at tempting to leap from the' window of the rear oar, was instantly killed. Another man.lettp ad from ,the car and was slightly injured.— There is enough of loss of life an railroads in the' ordinary modes of killing, without the passengers getting up a panio and killing themselves. KENTUCIIII(.—,Tho election in Keittuoicy, as far as the returns have been received, has re sulted in the election of sixteen Whig and sil Democratic Senators, and forty-eight Whig and twenty-three Deniocratio Representatives. There is thus eight Whit majority in the Sen ate, and at least twenty-four Whig Majority in the Rouse. Cox, Whig, is elected to Con• gross from the ninth district by a majority of 000 to 1200, and Stanton, Democrat, the tenth district,' by over 400. Evidence accu• mMates of the gross frauds perpetrifted by 411mocrats in the Ashland District to elect Bieckenridge. More votes have beenpflled than there are voters in some of tho districts, and the increase is nearly all on the Ldooreeo side. The Whig vote was larger than that oast for (Naomi Scott, but the increase on the Democratic side is nearly treble as much.

NE 12ISET By the steamer Humboldt at New York, on 'Monday, four days later ath:ices have - been received. The fine weather in -England has Made the market for brendstuffs dull. ,The Eastern question wears a less favorable aspect. It was feared that: the Emperor of Russia Would decline to wiftellitir his fe'rces from the principalities, as stipulated in the propositions of the Three Powers. The English and French fleets would, in that, case, be ordered to pass the Dardanelles, and a peaceful settlement of the dispute greatly jeoparded. IMPORTANT FRODI•CIIINA A despatch received at Liverpool, from Lon don, just before the sailing of the Africa, an nounces that the Chinese rebels had captured Amoy on the lfith of lietiy, after a severe fight. They are said to be most friendly to r foreign ers, and protected the factories and British consulate. They profess a desire to trade in all articles except opium. Any decisi - ve suc cess on the part of the rebels in the North, it is supposed, would apparently cause a gradu al rise, and lead to .a convulsion of the empire. An attempt to re-take Amoy had failed. Amoy is n commercial city and seaport on an island of the smile nave, 820 miles B N. B of Can ton ; it contains .250,000 inhabitants, and was well fortified with works erected during the 'war with England.` Canton was quiet. Trade going on as usual. Tons were coming down from the interior.— Business transactions were, however, small.— Goods of all kinds were cheap. Freights were expected to be high for first teas. Al Shang; hai business was trifling; Teas were expected to rule high.

That inasmuch as we believe the enormous debt now resting on this State has a tendency to dampen the energies of individual enterprise, is injurious to the public character of our ComiriOnwealth, and virtually diminishes = . lloll:l7ra f or2 , "iirg ' ';"‘Tro ' n' g s Sgn o a r i v oi• i d auu Representatives at their next session the ne cessity and propriety of enacting a law to sell the entire lino of public) improvements belong ing to the State, witpuch restrictions as they may deem necessarp . - for the safety and com fort of the citizen's of this Commonwealth.
