ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.

The steamer Baltic arrived in the Mersey, from
New York, yesterday morning, with 157 passengers,
458,291. dollars in specie, and dates to the 19th
instant.
The Baltic left Sandy Hook at 6.30 p.m , Satur-
day, the 19th. Off the bar, passed ,'nip Endymion,
bound inwards. July 89th, off Point Lynas,
passed ships Yorkshire, of :New York ; Thalatta,
f -----; and Gilbert Munro, of London—all bound

Inwards.
The Baltic encowntered a dense fog from lon. 2-1 tO Holyhead.
A dreadful...railway accident had occurred near
Philadelphia, by which upwards of sixty persons
are said to have been killed. The following are
briefly' the particulars as nearly as ascertained.
The scholars of St. Michael's church, Philadelphia,
attended by their friend's, teachers, and Rev. Mr.
Sheridan, left the city on a pie-nio excursion.
The te-ain consisted of twelve cars, containing
about six hundred persons; and when
near Camp
Hill, where there is a curve in the track, was run
against by the down train, and, dreadful to relate,
some fifty persons, mostly children, together with
the conductor Mr. Harris and the Rev. .iMr. Sheri-
dan, were killed, and from seventy to eighty badly,
if not fatally hurt. Three cars of the up train
were broken to splinters, and the front,----,

vicinity of St. Michael's chum/A, where most of the
sufferers, have resided. Sub_equent to the collision,

till a disaster as this, in which the terror of the
calamity is increased by the combination of
'destroying elements, has seldom startled the
'community. The suicide of the conductor,
'whose self-destruction is an acknowledgement
of his guilt in causing the disaster, adds
'to the gloominess of the tragedy. Two
ether fearful accidents had occurred, full details of
all of which are recorded at length in another part
of our paper. Beyond these, the papers now to
hand are totally devoid of news of interest.
In commercial matters there had been but
