Horrible Accident. On Wednesday afternoon last, Samuel K. Staffer, of New Castle, met with an accident in that, borough, which caused his instant death. He was engaged attending the circular saw on Litch's mill, and by some means his shirt came in contact with the saw, throwing him across the frame, and the saw cut him in two about the region of the heart.

injured. Discipline in a Sinking Ship. When the British troop steam transport Birkenhead struck a rock near the. of Good Hope, and broke in two, there iwere only boats enough to save the women, and children. There was no rushing and crowding then.

"Col. Moore called his brave In-niskillens, ind formed them into line on the deck of the sinking steamer, while their wives and children embarked in the boats'. The noble fellows, as they stood in line, gave three hearty cheers for their departing dear ones, arid maintained their ranks unbroken till the deck was swept from under their feet. Success of the Steam Plow. The State Board of Agriculture of Illinois offered a premium of "500o for steam plows.

It was expected that three different inventions would -be exhibited and tested at the State Fair, but ouly one was on tho ground. That" was Fawke'B locomotive steam plow, which excited great interest amoug the prairie farmers, and performed well. The machine and apparatus, with fuel and water, weighs only 'about seven tons, and by the use of a drum or barrel-shaped driver for propelling the locomotive, tthe difficult of miring in soft soil, and slippingson hard, smooth ground, is overcome. The steam is easily managed, and is described as a cross 'between a locomotive and a ten -der, combining the essetitaial elements of both, mounted on two guiding wheels and a huge roller. The prairie ground on which it was tried was baked as hard nearly as a brick, but the engine turned, six furrows side by side iu the most workmanlike manner.

He is a remarkably clever and accommodating gentleman, an, accom plished accountant," and weir deserves all the.pop- ular favor that can be extended to him.

80th. The Vicksburg Southron, of Sept 30th, We regret to be compelled to report that the yellow fever appears to be steadily on the increase injjur city. We heard of quite a number of new cases yesterday, occurring localities wnicn have been heretofore exempt from the disease. We believe that it is now scattered pretty well over town, and no diminution can well be expected until the advent of frost. We can only counsel prudence aud a cheerful discharge of duty on the part of all who are liable to be attacked, with the hope that we may soon be relieved of the presence of the destroyer.

There were six burials yesterday three from the City Hospital, two from: the city: and the man who died on the levee, night before last, making six in all. The Turf in England. It seems after all that Charleston, from whom so much was expected, has been deemed by Mr. Ten Broeck, unfit to take the field this season, and has consequently been withdrawn from all his engagements this year, notwithstanding that Fisherman, was weighed at 45 lbs. morethau him for the Cesarewitch Stakes, while Saunterer and Vedette are handicapped 39 lbs.

above him, Leamington am Yorkshire Grey 31 lbs, etc. Prioress is to carry 3 st. 2 lb. less than Fisherman; for-the Cesarewitch, and 3 st 1 lb. less in the Cambridgeshire, being 44 lbs.

less in the first, and 43 lbs. in the second a big difference for the old horse to surmount. Fisherman beat Loyalty with the greatest ease for the Warwick cup, at Warwick, on Wednesday, and two of Mr. Ten Broeck's English horses ran second and not placed Plate and Members' Plate. Mr.

Ten "IrrVpR Prioress paid forfeit to Capt. Little's Poodle in their match. 1 Mr. Harlan, of Cincinnati, who has a turf reputation, as well as being known as the proprietor of a Dictiire gallery in this city, has, during his summer's trip to Europe, netted 10,000, by betting on tne winning noraes. his judgment is said to have been 'of- much service to Miv-Ten Broeck during the: campaign.

Singular Trial. A singular trial is about to take place in Lombardy. A wealthy man of that section lately died whe-possessed two pictures by Rubens onfe the portrait of a woman, the other a zodiac two! pictures high and well-known iu the. country to which, they belonged. When the priest arrived to confess the dyingman, he demanded to seethepictures of Reubens.

They were shownjhim; he declared them indecent because they were nude figures of women, aud refused absolution to the moribund unless he gave orders, for the burning of the pictures. He obeyed, was absolved, then To-day, the son and heir to the estatejhas brought suit against the confessor for havinb abused the mind of the dying man, and diminished the value of the succession 30,000 francs. Such a process, if intelligently conducted and win ue ot immense value as a prece dent. The Fatal1 Prize Fiqht in New Haven.

DR. eg9sss THITKSBAY, OCTOBER 7, 1858. Reading Matter on every page THE KENTUCKY MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. SIXTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION. We were gratified to see, last evening, a large, fashionable and interested attendance at the Insti tute Hall.

This pleasant assemblage tarried until the sweet tones of President Kaye's warning bell gave notice of the arrival of eleven o'clock; when supposed that, all temperate and moderate people should' be tending homeward. Our citizens; should make the most of the enjoyment afforded by. the fair. The exhibition will close next' Tuesday evening, with an address by W. L.

Kelly, Esq. Aipong the many articles of. utility calculated to interest only a particular and small class of spectators, is Sloan's improved water wheel. This i3 the invention of our ingenious fellow-citizen, James Sloan. We do not profess to understand hydraulics sufficiently to comprehend the scientific merits of this patent, but it is self-evident that it possesses manifold advantages over all.

other water wheels. It has been tested by various mill wrights, and found superior to the Hotchkiss and Parker patents. These wheels are manufactured at Barbaroux Snowden's foundry. 5tr. Sloan has published a pamphlet explaining the working of his' invention.

'felho Spanish Mission Hon. Wm. Preston.

It will be seen by our dispatches that the Pres ident has tendered the Spanish mission to our dis tinguished, fellow citizen, Hon. William Prestofi. It is not as, yet, however, known at Washington' whether he will accept the -appointmeht of de-; dine it'. The appointment is one of vast itnportance.from the facti that Cuba belongs -to Spain, and ought to belong ito America. With' this rich Island in view, the mission to Spaiu is far more important than that ot England, or: France.

If there is a man in this Union whose intellect, sagacity, tact, discretion, diplomatic skill, and nerve, can effect the annexation of Cuba to this country, it is Col. Preston. And if he can't get Cuba, he will, never theless, make one of the best, most accomplished, aud mos't popular ministers that ever went from America, to a foreign court. He would reflect honor upon his country in any court in the world. It is not known here, more than at Washington, whether he will accept the appointment or not.

He has been mentioned in connection with the next race for Governor of Kentucky, with marvelous unanimity throughout the State. The press, private as well as public letters, and the freely expressed opinions of those who know and have in-Utience, indicate clearly that the people intend to make him their next Governor. We ueerthelesstUink Ittnore thau-prsbablethat Col. Preston will accept the appointment. He knows that there are other sterling Democrats who desire to make the race for Governor, and who claim it as a right from longer service in the party.

It is clear, moreover, that the contest at this time will be in the convention, aud that the nominee will be elected without the necessity of sneli a straggle as was pleasing to the gallant Preston in 1S55, when he offered himself as a willing sacrifice upon the unhallowed altar of Know Sotbingism in this congressional district. Ho bas moreoVer, often told us that he would not be in the way of any one who wanted to make the gubernatorial race. We thitik, therefore, that Col. Preston will go to Spain and make a vigorous fight for Cuba, instead of an easy wrestle for the office of Governor in this The popular voice which has spoken out so unanimously in his for. this homeoffice, will commend his going abroad.

The Democracy of Kentucky will ajcree that he can serve the party as well, if not better, at Madrid than at Frankfort, and they will not say a word against his going there. We have a plenty of good Democrats in Kentucky from among whom to select a Governor, but we have but few men in the Union jo, whom the Spanish ministry should be given. jThis is one of the best, not the very best, of thejmany appointments of President Bp. ehanan. Theater-The New Piece.

Two circumstances' prevent'Miss from meeting audiences of any these are bad weather and the fatigue-iug excitement of attending fairs. The tide of ariiusehienti-seekers flows backward after two or' three weeks of agricultural, and other fairs, and remains iuk'epose to gather fresh impetus. Considering that great drawback to a performer, a meager audience, Miss J.ones did remarkably well last night. There is. nothing! particularly trying in the character ot Evadne, but the few strong passages were given with passionate earnestness and a manner quite natural.

The main impres. sion received from her style, is that 'simple andunartificial. She evidently arrives at the in. terpretationjof her lines by the instincts of a true artiste. Her actions and positions, however, sav-.

or too much of square and compass or dictation" Her voice is1 very rich and is generally moderated with a great' deal of nicety. She was admirably supported iri Evadne, by Messrs. Eiley, Dickson and Keeble, in the respective characters of Coloua, Vicentio and Ludovico. Miss Walker sustained the; character of Olivia. To-night; a new tragedy called "Sybil," drma-tized by Savage, editor' of the Washington States, will be produced for the first time in Louisville.

It is founded on the murder of Solomon P. Sharpe by Orville Beauchamp, which occurred iu in 1S25. That event, as may be remembered by many of our older citizens, causeda profound sensation. Col: Sharpe was a man of genius, had served several times inCou-gress, and was regarded as one of the first men in the State, Circumstantial evidence, connected Beauchamp with the murder, and he was arrested and convicted. The night before the day ot the execution, iris wife killed herself in his prison, aud he attenrpted, but failed, to take his own life, and was hung on the day appointed.

The tragedy is said to be replete with startling and thrilling eflebts, and we think Miss Jones can vrel play the pad of Sybil, the.heroine. Phof. Bexson, of the UtrnrEEsrrr Medical School. Prcif. Benson, recently elected to the Professorshiri of Anatomy, in the Louisville University, reached this "city yesterday, with his family.

He has hastened his removal to this city in order to'take part in the preliminary lectures now in progress. We learn that the students already in attendance at the University number more than double as many as commenced with the preliminary lectures last October, when the school was not opened until tie middle of the month. There is an excellent prospect for a large class at the Uni- versify. We: understand, that the microscopic instruction and exhibitions will be of unusual interest, and students should not fail to enjoy their Payne's Exciu.nge.
