THE RAIL ROAD ORDERS.

Meetings have been lately held in Winchester
ders of the Rail Road Company. Inasmuch as
these notes form considerable part OF the circa
laing medium Of this neighborhood, il is proper
that our readers should be acquainted with what
ever course the public may pursue in relation 10
them. An adjourned meeting held in Win
chester on Friday evening last, when the following
letter from the President of the Rail Road Compa
ny was read:

be made, it is not possible for to speak more
definitely upon the subject.

of purchases by the Brokers at s. and sales by the

days ago there appeared to be considerable excite
ment in some quarters, but it has evidently subsd
ed IN grea, measure, and as far my informatio
extends, believe the orders are passing from hand
to hand throughout the city usual. My hope
has been that they will soon rally. and be main
tanned at their intrinsic value; and in this have
great cOnflence, unless premature and imprudent
measures be taken to create alarm in the public
mind.
The meeting at Winchester may do much to qpie,
or provoke such alarm, and must hope that
gard for our mutual interests will lead to the for

The Annual Report of The Directors Of the Rail
Road Company, just submitted to the Stockhold-
ers, states that il has been determined not in.
the present issue beyond 81, 500 900. These
notes being received by the city of Baltimore, in
payment of all its dues, which stated to amount
TO $500, 900 annually and being receivable in all
cases by the Rail Road Compsny, it is believed
that sufficient amount will be regularly absorbed
TO proven, any material depreciation of them
Hence we may infer that there need be no alarm
in relation to their value.

IyyasroN or OUR TERRITORY BY A
Party OF CANADIANS, AND ARREST OF
Coz. GRooAs.-The public has read the
particulars Of the arrest OF Col. G-ogsn.
That at midnight on the 18Th ult., whine

six miles from the Canada lines, a party
Of British soldiers forced their way into
the house, dragged Grogan out Of his bed,
and carried him across the lines to ST.

is now incarcera,ed. He was supposed,
by the Canadians, 10 be concerned with
some Of the burnings during the troubles
Of 81 and '36, and the Canadian Govern.
ment offered five hundred pounds for his
apprehension. Whether number of in
dividuals have committed this outrage I'M
authorized for the sake of the prize money,
will appear 10 due course Of time. Our
authorities, OF course, cannot let the mat
ter rest as il does at present. a cores
pondent OF the Boston Mail states, in re-
gard to a contemplated rescue, that notes
of preparation continued TO be OF quite too
unequyocal nature TO be mistaken
The furnishing Of arms and ammunition to
volunteers on a secret expedition OF some
kind, was publicly talked Of in the streets
Of ST. Adams, ani money as publicly sub
scribed for the same object. IL is said
that some decisive but secret movements
have been made by the Green Mountain
boys, in conjunction with patriots on both
sides of the boundary.
The Montreal Herald glories in Gro
gan's arrest, bu. fears that he will be able,
by the grossest perjury" to escape JUS
tice.
The citizens Of ST. Adams held meet
ings on the 2lst and 2ad ult. Twenty.
two alldavits were read in relation to the
seizure, an forwarded to the Governor Of
the State and to Washington.

RELEASE OF GRoGAN.--The Montreal
Herald of Tuesday says that Grogan has
been set at liberty by order OF Sir Richard
Jackson. on the application Of the United
States authorities. That on Monday he
was handed over to the Inspector Of pc.

escorted to the province line.

Express) that ":he British Government
has increased the amount by $3.50, 600 per
annum already paid to Cunard. He now
receives 100000 for running steamer
Twice a month, aud he has entered into a
new contract to run steamer every eight
days, or four times a month, for which he
is to receive double the amount OF his pre-.
sent payment. This arrangement will
come into operation as soon as a sufficient
number Of boats can be got ready for sea;
and when that takes place, the communi'

Joseph Philbrook, ordinary seaman. The
wounded are Russell Smith, carpenters

and John Cooper, seamen, all badly.
The explosion did great damage to the
fore part OF the vessel, giving it the APP

The Express says that the gun broke

starboard side-(the gun was on the lar
board)-the other went forty feet aft, car

which added TO the horror of the scene by
filling the ship with steam. The spar

on the hammock netting, without material
injury.
The utmost care was taken by Captain
Newton, Lieut.. Chaton, (the first Lieut.. J

an accident which the officers greatly
feared.
The officers kept the men back, placing
themselves between the gun and the men,
and then fired the gun with slow match.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE WESTERN
RAIL ROAD.


The New York Sun contains the fol-
lowing account of painful accident on
the Western Rail Road
awe learn that the eastern and wes-
tern passenger trains Of the Western Rail
Road, both going at great speed, met on
Tuesday afternoon, in a curve about four
miles west of West6eld, and the effects
we're shocking and disastrous.
The two locomotives and two or three
passenger cars of each train, were smash
ed to complete wreck. The passengers
were jammed and tumbled together in the
ruins in the dreadful confusion. We are
informed that Is or 20 have limbs broken,
and rs many more severely bruised and
lacerated in various ways. Mr.. Warren,
the conductor of the train from the west,
was shockingly mutilated. Mr.. Moore,
the conductor Of the Springfield train,
narrowly escaped by jumping off. Mr..
Taylor, the engineer of that train, is bad
~ wounded. A young lady, niece Of
Major Whistler, is said to be dnngerovsl y
hurt. Colonel Harvey Chaplin is much
bruised, but not dangerously, as is now
hoped. The Rev. S. Elliot, an Episcopal
clergyman, from South Carolina, and fam
lily, who left Springfield at noon, were
brought back in sad condition. The
ladies were not seriously hurt; but his
two sons were wounded lone scratched
and bruised, and the other had his leg
broken above the knee.
Since the above was written, we learn
with deep regret that Mr.. Warren, the
conductor of the western train, is dead
He was worthy and excellent man."
