refuge,

Adeplorable accident, attended with loss of life, oc-
curred on the railway between Prague and Pardubitz, on
the evening of the 4th inst. The up and down train met
with a fearful crash, a dense fog prevailing at the time.
Three persons were killed, and 50 more or less seriously
wounded. _ _

ITALY: The news from Italy is important. Blood has
flown at Fivizzano. The Modenese were the aggressors.
The latter arrested, without knowing why, the Sergeant-
Major of the Tuscan Carbineers. The multitude took his
part. The Modenese fired upon the people, killed one and
-wounded several. Upon this all the citizens flew to arms,
and a skirmish ensued, which was going on at the depar-
ture of the courier.

The new reformation in Germany has taken another step
in advance. The central committee has issued another

manifesto, which is at tha same time a programme of the

religious tenets of the new sect. The following are the
six principal articles :—l.—We cannot suffer the oppres-
sions of the present regulations of the church of the State,
and therefore we separate from it. 2.—We remain what
we are and what we were—Evangelical Christians. 3.—
We regard, as heretefore, the Bible as the groundwork of
Christianity. 4.—Our creed is,—l believe in God, in'his
eternal kingdom proclaimed to the world by Jesus
Christ. s.—Our worship remains the same,`though with
freedom as to its form. 6.—Our doctrine is based on the
Evangelical principles of freedom and love. We are a
Christian confession.

The death of Count Bresson would appear to be still in-
volved in mystery. It was surmised that he refused the
embassy to London by Louis Philippe, he had, in a fit of
chagrin, made away with himself. Exasperated pride and
disappointed ambition are often the causes of self dotruc-
tion, and either may have proved an incentive to the crime
in the case of Count Bresson. But it is now reported that
the unhappy nobleman was murdered by the hand of an
assassin at Naples. The Count, on the day previous to
that of his death, had given an entertainment at his resi-
dence, and evinced not only serenity, but good nature dur-
ing its progress. In the evening he had gone to the theatre,
and still exhibited the same composure.' LFrom this and
other circumstances, an inference is drawn that he could
not have been his own murderer. We should be well
pleased to find this reasoning verified by fact ; but it is
far from being conclusive. A practised diplomatist,
Count Bresson was master of his countenance, and could
well mimic a gaiety he did not feel. And it too:frequently
happens that suicide is gone about in a way the most cool
and dispassionate—the individual in this case being " wise
to do evil."

DREADFUL STORM.—The last advices from the Nest
Indies inform us that Tobago had been visited with a tre-
mendous tornado and hurricane, and severe thunder and
lightning, with scarcely intermission, from noon the 11th
cif October to 6 A. M. on the 12th, destroying half the
crops—some say even the whole. 510 houses were de-

stroyed, 224 much injured, 17 people killed, besides num-
hers injured. Six vessels were wrecked, the church and
parsonage at Scarborough and the Methodist chapels at
Charlotte's-ville and Betsy's Hope were destroyed. The
tornado passed Barbadoes and Granada. and a"
Trittadadrand between Bermuda and St. Ty
island of Tobago had not experienced so severe a visita-
tion since 1780. The town of Scarborough seems to have
been particularly subject to its violence ; the whole of the
barracks were unroofed, and side walls blown down ; hos-
pital stores, canteen. and outbuildings in ruins ; all the
white troops have been sent to Trinadad. One United
States brig and the Earl St. Vincent rode out the storm,
and the. schooner Norma, one of the vessels driven on
shore, hacl been got off. The shipping at Trinadad also
suffered by the same hurricane, but not so much as at
Tobago, nearly all the craft having run on the mud-bank,
Port of Spain. Trimtdail had 11.0. t wirgred by any means
so severely as Tobago.
