SHOCKING AND Fatal ACCIDENT We record with
unfegned the following heart rending and IA
tai occurrence, which took place yesterday morning
about ten o'clock, at the Navy Yard, in the Easter
portion Of this city While Captain JACOB BRIoHr
(Commander Of the Marion Rife Corps and Master
Armorer in the Navy Yard) was engaged in a room
attached TO the laboratory in either charging hand
ling (Which does not appear 10 have been clearly
cerained) thirty two ID. shell, filled with decorating
powder, it suddenly exploded, and in moment blew
sion was so great that the left arm Of the unfortunate
victim literally separated from his body, his en-
trails scattered and his face and head shocking
ly mutiIated and disfgured
In writing the preceding account Of this melancho-
ly occurrence, which has caused painful sensation
throughout our community have awaited ourselves
of letter politely addressed TO us by Mr.. VIM. M.
ELLIS who thus feeingy writes upon the subject
after the occurrence Of this painful event. Capt. B.
was very worthy citizen and highly respected by the
company under his command and every other person

U. S. Navy YARD, WAsHNeroN,
Sept. 7, l64I.
Messrs EDrroRs l little dreamt yesterday after
noon, when in company with you witnessing the ex-
perments being made with Lieutenant WIRLIAM D.
PoRrER's shell, that should have the melancholy
TO communicate to you this morning Of the sud-
den and unexpected dspensation Of Providence with
which we have been visited. We have lost our be-
loved and much respected commander, Capt JACOB
BRleHr, Of the Marion Rife Company" He was
killed nstantaneously Literally blown 10 peces) in
either charging or handling (not known positively
which, thirtytwo h. shell, charged or being charg
ed with decorating percussion powder.
This is a most awful dspensation, by which large
family Of small children have been cut off from the
only solace and support Of aficctionate and much
beloved father. You will please excuse me in not
commenting further this melancholy subject
really my feelings at present excited that must
stop.
With respect your obt servant.

CONGRESS-.

The SENATE have, within the last two days,
suddenly despatched the remainder of their le-
gislative business, and that body is now in that
condition, in which, few days since, we an
noLnced the House TO be-" munere functus, p
awaiting only the de6nitive action of other
branches of government. Meanwhile they find
useful occupation in disposing Of accumulated
arrears Of Executive business. tf
On Tuesday, they at length closed the pro-
tracted debate on the Revenue bill, and passed
that measure with upwards of twenty amend
ments. The same day, the Diplomatic Appro-
priation bill, with commendable prompttude,
was taken up, discussed, and passed with an
amendment striking out the salary and outfit Of
a Charge to Naples. On Wednesday, they
passed several House bills, the principal of
which are-the Naval Ordnance bill, the APP
preparation bill for the purchase of the sites Of
forts on Staten Island and the bill repeating
the act authorizing the investment Of trust funds
in State stocks.
The House, consequently, again find them
selves employed in important business, the
Senate amendments to several Of these bills re-
curing their consideration and concurrence
Immediately on receiving these bills, on We'd
nesday, the House proceeded TO reGF them; and
in Committee Of the Whole taking up the most
important first, they concurred in all the amend
ments to the Revenue bill, with two or three
slight notifications. On being reported to the
House, the amendments were delayed from a
decisive action by some very irregular impro-
rised attempts to overset the whole of the pre-
sent system of duties,--the duty on salt be-
ing suddenly repealed by small vote; and
Immediately after, (perhaps partly out of re-
talation and partly from desire to ruin
the bill at all events,) the duties on cot
ton and sugar met the same fate. A sudden ad-
journment served 10 prevent further mischief for
the time; and no doubt, to-day reconsideration
of the vote on the salt duty will lead TO com
plete restoration of matters to the " status quo
ante bellum.'
