Yesterday and last night we had a heavy gale of wind and rain from the eastward, which has undoubtedly caused great loss of property and lives along the coast. Towards morning the wind shifted into the North West, and is now blowing very heavy from that quarter.

The submarine telegraph between Dover and Calis has been completed, and works well. Terrible Accident on tue Western Railroad. The Springfield Republican of yesterday gives the following account of ashocking accident on the Western Railroad Last night's passenger train from'Albaiiy did not arrive till alter 10 o'clock two hours behind its usual time in consequence of a sad disaster which befel it when about two miles west of the Washington summit.

While goiug at the rate of 26 miles to the 'hour, the forward axle of the second passenger car broke, letting it down upon the track and in this condition it was dragged alonir at a rapid rate of sDeed for at least three hundred yards the broken axle, truck, breaking through the floor and flying up among the crowded passengers the car at the same time bounding and grinding along, partly on its remaining wheels and partly on the track and sleepers. The scene that was witnessed in the cars, among the passengers, it is impossible to describe. All was in the most terrible confusion. Scarcely any escaped injury in some degree, and three were killed outright. The killed were Col.

S. G. Mountford, a lawyer of New York City; Miss Roessle of Albany, daughter of the proprietor of the Delevan House and Mr.Wbittlemore of Leicester, Mass. James Hagerman was badly injured ene leg broken and taken away xm a litter. Amasa Richardson of North Adams, was much hurt by the handle of one of the seats being thrust into the fleshy part of his leg.

Three ladies were seriously injured, and rendered uuaLlc tu proceed but tliey were well cared for at the place of the accident. A number of others were injured, but it is hoped and believed, as yet, but slightly. Among these was Mrs. Col. Dwight of Stock bridge.

Col. iUouulford, one of those killed, was accompanied by a young daughter, whose bodily injuries were noi serious, but whose mental agooy at finding her beloved parent and only present friend stricken do vn iu a horrid death, who can tell Her conduct is described as most heart rending on seeing tlie mangled and lifeless corpse of her father drwn from the ruins of the car. When the train was finally stopped the car to which the accident occurred was almost an entire wreck. The wheels were torn off, the bottom broken through, and the seats smashed up. The bodies of the killed were mixed up with the wreck, and it was some time before they could be extricated.

When they were found they proved to be dreadfully torn and mangled. The third car was detached from the secondjust before the train wa brought to a stand, aud stopped short of the la" sr. But for this, it with its passengers must have shared, in part, the fate of those belore them. The whole scene may be well imagined to be as described, frightful, appalling, terrible. The dis figured bodies uf the dead, tue groans aud cries of the wounded, the shrieks of frightened bereaved females, the perfect wreck which the car present, ed, constitute the leading features of a picture, wbich those who witnessed can never fortret.

and which those who were spared its sight may well pray never to have presented to their vision. In Congress, yesterday. The California Sena tors being admitted to their seats, drew lots to decide their respective terms of office Mr Fre mont drew the short term, expiring March 4, 1851 ana air. jwinn, tne long one, expiring March 4, 1856.

The bill to abolish the Slave Trade in the Dis trict of Columbia was taken up, and several amendments from Southern gentlemen reiected Mr. Seward then moved to amend the bill by pro viding not lor the abolition of the Slave trade but of Slavery itself, and appropriating $2,200,000 to indemnify the owners, the bill to be annroved bv a majority of the inhabitants of the District at a special election to oe held within six mouths of its passage or else to be void.

Slteuvisobs' Documents. On the first page of to day's Eagle are sundry papers from the Board of Supervisors, which should he scanned by all our citizens. Tlie facts and figures are particularly interesting to tax payers.

A Volume in a Line. At a temperance cele bratiou in Tennessee, a little lad appeared in the procession, bearing a flag on which was inscribed "All's right when daddy's sober line Advertiser ana tlie taborcrs of tlie Navy Yaril. If our neighbor of tho Advertiser possessed but a modicum of the tict, common sense, and political knowledge of his coon coadjutor of the Star, he never woul 1 have ventured before the public with such a wretched argument in defenco of his proposal to drive Democratic laborers from the employ of the goveninieut, as appeared ia his paper of yesterday. The Advertiser man, with that bungling indiscretion which precedes aud followB, as a shadow, all his intellectual efforts, plunges at once into the shallow waters of his political knowledge, and puffs and Bplurges like a stranded porpoise, making decidedly more noise than headway. The Advertiser, after copying a portion of our article upon its proposition to turn from employment the Democratic laboring men in the Navy Yard, leads off in one of his usual long, fustian comments, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing," in which "Alderman Gerald" figures, of coursBj and all that sort of stuff, foreign to the issue.

We can find nothing in the reply worthy of the least notice, save the following It is Scoundrelism tfor the Whigs to ask for the appointment of good Whig mechanics under a Whig administration, but a virtue for a locofoco government to oust every Whig employed in that Navy Yard. Out with such humbuggery." Let us examine this for a moment. The "scoundrelism" of which we complained was not that a 'Whig administration" rewarded its friends with the emoluments of office and we utterly deny that the party now in power have a right to avail themselves of the usual fruils of a fair political victory. Every newspaper reader in the United States knows full well that General Taylor, all through the canvass which resulted in hia election, declared his unalterable determination not to be elected as the exponentof the views of any political party, and that in his letters upon this subject he spoke of Democrats, Whigs, and Natives asalike indifferent to him as party and that if elected at all it must be as the "President of the people, and not of a party." All through the cam paign the Whig orators steadily kept out of their addresses all allusions "Whig principles," and appealed to Democrats to vote for General Taylor on the ground that he was opposed to proscription would make no man's political principles the test of office, and that he would earnestly labor to "bring back the government to the purity of the earlier Presidents." In Pennsylvania the name of Whig was dropped, and that of "Rough and Ready substituted as the cognomen of a new party. Mr.

Crittenden, now a Cabinet Minister, declared in his addresses to the people, "that Wldg3 and Democrats fought under General Taylor upon tin battlefields of Mexico, and that the old hero would never allow a Democrat to be proscribed for his po litioal principles'' Under such pledges and such assurances, given all over the country by Whig editors and Whig orators, and endorsed hy General Taylor's own haud, the battle was fought and the victory won, thousands of Democrats casting their ballots for the "No party candidate." What right has an administration, thus elected, to claim the privileges accorded to a political victory, won upon a fair disunion of party lines Is it not rank "acoundrulism" for a party thus succeeding to power, to bawl for the dismissal of the poor dav laborers iu the employ of the government '( There is not an honest Whig in Brooklyn who will stand up and assert a negative to the inquiry. The present party iu power owes its elevation to Democratic votes, cast iu view of certaiu distinct pledges, and no democrat who discharges the duties of his office can be touched without a base violation of those recorded pledges. Among the many letters written by General Taylor upon this subject, we can only lay our bands at present upon the following. It was sent, not to a Whig, but a "Rough and Ready," club of Pennsylvania Baton Rouge, Jan. SO, 1S48.

In reply to your inquiries, I have again to repeat that. I have neither the power nor the desire to dictate to the American people the ex act manner in which they 6hall proceed to nominate me for the Presidency of the United States. If they desire such a result, they must adopt the means best suited in their opinion, to the consummation of the purpose, and it" they think fit to bring me before them for this office, through their Legislatures, mass meetings, or conventions, I can not object to the designations of these bodies, as Whigs, Democrats or Natives, but being thus no miuated must insist on the condition, and my position; on this point is immutable, that I shall not be brought forward by them as the candidate of their, or considered as the exponent of their party doctrines Here it is seen that General Taylor is very particular to please "Whigs, Democrats, and Natives," upon a common platform, and expressly declares his "immutable" determination not to be elected as the "exponent of party doctrines With what show of decency, then, can a party thus supported and thus elected, be called upon to discharge from the employ of the Government, even the poor laborers, on the ground that they are not Whigs "Scoundrelism" is too mild a term with which to characterise such shameless effrontery. The Sv.iacuse Coxvextion. Up to 12 o'clock to day no dispatch had been received in New York of the organization of the convention.

The news last evening was highly favorable to union and harmony. The attendance is very large, and the best of feelings appear to animate the delegates It is thought that Seymour will receive the nomi" nation on the first ballot. Ho is a moderate and has all along been an advocate for conciliation. He is deservedly very popular, and should he receive the nomination will be most triumphantly elected. It is confidently asserted that John Van Buren will be admitted as delegate to the Convention.

This is as it should be. Welcome. California Messrs. Fremont and Gwinn, senators elect from the State of California, received the oatli3 of office yesterday, and took their seats in the Senate, making the whole number of Senators 62.

The Affray at New Orleans.

Mr. Veau, who was so badly wounded in the affray in the Third District Court, has considerably improved, and it is now thought by his physiciuns that he will re cover. He has been able to move the limb which it was thought was paralyzed. Mr. Wiltz is recovering from Ins wounds, which were large aud dangerous.

The Whig socialists, of the Sew ard and Greeley school, held a banquet at Hobo ken, on Monday last. In an address delivered by one of the speakers, we find the following rather social" declaration The time of 1792 must come again if we earnestly want to succeed, we must have the guillotine again. Long enough the people showed a most stupid good nature and forgiveness, and always it has been betrayed. The last years have taught us how to appreciate our friends and foes we find the latter among every Royalty upon earth the guillotine will become our sole When the proposed instrument of reform'' is erected by those Whig "higher law" theorists, we propose that the author of the above sentiment be selected to see how the machine will work.

We rather think his he id could come off without much loss to himself, or the community in which he re sides. The fool killer appears to have neglected his business of late. Steamship Asia. This last, swiftest, and most beautiful vessel of the Cuuard line, arrived at her wharf at Jersey Cily about 11 o'clock to day. She has made a very quick passage, having left Liverpool on the 31st of August, at noon thus making the trip in an hour less than eleven days, including detention at Halifax.

The Asia, on her outward trip, will not touch at Halifax, an arrangement having been mado for the Cuuard steamers between this port and Liverpool to run direct in future.

Tho print works at South Trenton, N. we destroyed by fire on Sunday morning. They were owned bv Mr. M. Red mond.

The moral drama of the Drunkard was admirably performed, and presented a fearful picture of the inebriate's course. The tendency of such representations cannot but be productive of beneficial effects, not only on the young, but on the practised Bacchanalian. The mass of the public journals sneer at the idea of teaching virtue through such a medium as that ot a museum theatre, but for our own part, so that the good result is attained, we do not object to the means employed, even though it be a Spartan one. Barnum may be called the modern Lycurgus, for he causes to be exhibited nightly (if not a drunken slave,) a fearful slave to drunkenness. The fat boy, 18 years of age, is introduced in one of the Bcenes, and such an obese mass we bave never seen equalled and dressed as he is in a child's nankin suit, is without a parallel as to the comicality of his appearance His entree was the signal for one universal guffaw from all parts of the house, and 'twas some time ere the audience was straightened up.

Major CameroD, 21 years old, also was introduced. He is one of the dwarf genus, and an elegant little man he is. His form is symmetrical, and his ad dress that of a polished gentleman. The dwarf queen, Titania, caused much amusement. She is a cheerful little creature, but by no means prepos sessing.

That nigger chap that is turning himself white, we don know what to make of. He seems to be a white man, artificially and partially made black, rather than a black man gradually turning white. We may be wrong, but we rather think Barnum has been humbugged 111 An evening may be very pleasantly passed in the American Museum. Shocking Suicide. The Dedham, (Mass.) De mocral gives the following account of a shocking BUicide which was committed in that town on Tuesday of last week Suicide.

Mr. Daniel F. Belknap, of this town, committed suicide on Tuesday, in a most shocking manner. He cut his throat twice with a razor, uBBiijr ins winupipe then with a knife stabbed himself in the region of the heart, mak ing a gash about three inches in length. He then tied round his neck a handkerchief, which was spliced to some others and fastened round a bed post, and then jumped out of a chamber window, but the handkerchief gave way and he came to the ground.

He next started for the water, with all the speed in his power, from which he was rescued by the people with whom he boarded. He commenced the act about 12 o'clock, and died of the wound in his body about 4. He had made several stabs at his body before he ef fected the mortal wound, the ribs affording protection. Mr. BelknaD had been insane for a long time, and had been at the Worcester Asylum for a year.

He had been in a calm state of mind for some time, so much so that the superintendent thought it would be proper for him to return, which he did last week. A Bold Escape. A convict named George Wilson made his escape from the work house at St. Louis a few days ago, aided by two men in a buggy. As boon as he started to run to the buggy one of the guard drew his pistol and the cap exploded.

Wilson reached the buggy, the guard gi ving chase. The two men in the buggy rose as the man approached, the ono presenting a gun and the other a pistol threatened to shoot him, and instantly drove off. A team and driver were seen some distance in front. The guard shouted to the teamster to stop them by driving across the road. They instantly turned their guns ou the teamster and compelled him to give them a free way, and Wilson lying iu the bottom of the buggy, they were soon out of eight.

Discontinued. The sui: brought by John G. Murphy, against the Brooklyn Pbcenix Glass Company has been amicably settled and the pro eedings discontinued..
