MILITARY TROUBLES IN CUBA.

THREATENED SEIZURE OF GREYTOWN.
The United States mail steamer Daniel Webster,
from San Juan de Nicaragua (Greytown), arrived
at New Orleans on the afternoon of the 9th inst.

We learn from a private telegraphic dispatch,
that it was currently reported at Greytown that
the State of Nicaragua would immediately take
possession of the town, and abrogate the local go-
vernment.

The same arrival brings Havannah dates of the
Bth inst. Disagreements between the authorities
were notorious, and more disaffection had broken
out among the troops in the interior of the island.

CRICKET.

Two SELECT ELEVENS OF THE MABTLEBONE CLUB, WITH

Two BOWLERS ON EACH SIDE,

This is the usual match on the Monday in the "Derby
Week," and if it does not always bring out the finest
players, it not merely exhibits good play by others, but
gives rise to considerable interest. On the present occa-
sion the elevens were selected by Mr. Kynaston, hon.
secretary of the M.C.C., and the Hon. R. Grimston.
The former won upon the first innings, it being a one-
day match. The score stood as follows when the stumps

THE GREAT RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN TEE
UNITED STATES.

A New York paper, speaking of the scene which oc-
curred at the dead house, after the railway accident at
Norwalk, says,- - "The place was literally besieged with
people who had arrived from New York, New Haven,
and other places, in search of friends or near relatives.
Personal grief set aside every other consideration. A
gentleman upon the outer edge of the closely wedged
mass would cry 'Let me in to find out if my dear
brother is dead.' Another would say, cannot endure
it ; I Must get in and know if my friend is there.' A
man, stupid with grief, would totter forward, saying,
'My wife ! my wife I' while delicate ladies, heedless of
the maddened rush, would maintain their places, sobbing
out, The bride of yesterday I—dead—dead ! Oh, that
I could see her lifeless form I' During this time the
officials in charge of the door performed their duty with
great tenderness, but firmness. To the entreaties of
For God's sake let me in,' the universal reply was, ' God
assist you! I am sorry for you ; but at this moment you
cannot enter, by and by you will.' When the door was
opened, what an effect was produced. The floor was strewed
with dead bodies, coffins, and torn dresses, while the
air was filled with shrieks, announcing the recognition
of a departed father, brother, mother, sister, or child.
The bodies were not much disfigured. There were some
bruised about the head, having the wounds principally
upon the left temple, and the same side of the skull.
This struck us as resulting from the angular position at
which the bodies touched the cars after being projected
in the one fatal direction by the shock. The majority
seemed to have died from slow drowning, and their coun-
tenances presented the true index of their feelings at
the moment of the awful passage from time to eternity.
The chisel of the sculptor has never caught the real de-
lineation of lineament and expression which could be
there seen upon the faces of the lifeless human monu-
ments of the New Haven Railroad tragedy. One man

lay with his lips slight apart, his hair literally erect, his
eyes staring, his hands extended, as if in aversion of dan-
ger, and his retracted muscles snowing his feeling of
dread at being forced into the terrible gulf. Although
stiff and cold as ho lay upon his back, an observer
would imagine that he was still re3eding from the
contemplation of the horrible catastrophe. Upon the
countenance of the once robust Mr. Colbach, of
Richmond (Massachusetts), you could see clearly the
conviction of inevitable death, and the calm steady
gam of a man faruiliarised with its contemplation.
Mr gamvntieolbach was: a ship carpenter, just returning to his
e place. Near to the door lay the body of a gen-
