Railroad Accident.

Our City was filled with rumors, on Saturday
morning, Of terrible Railroad accident on the
Utica Road above Schenectady, causing the loss
of ii .reat many limbs and lives. The evening
boat, however, did much TO alay the apprchen-
sions which the morning news had excited; and
Yesterdays advices happily enable us TO state
that, though the rumorcd collision actually took
place, causing serious destruction of property,
no passenger was injured i'll the least. The Al
bany Evening Journal gives the following account
OF The accident aud It's causes
The Western train not having arrived at
Schenectady at the proper time on Friday "a spe-
clal tram consisting of locomotive, tender and
a few empty passenecr-c cars, WAS despatched from
Schenectady westward \ few miles west from
that place the two trains met. Fortunately for
the lives Of the passengers, the trains in sight
OF each other some few moments before the col
lis!on The engineers OF each train instantly
shut of steam reversed the action. and leapcd
from their respective machines. This well timed
precaution deadened the speed, and the collision,
though tremendous, was not as great as 1t would
otherwise have been. The engine, tender and
passenger cars going west were utterly dernolish-
ed, as also were the engine, tender, baggage and
postofcc cars OF the tram coming east. Provl-
denlially, none OF the passenger cars in this last
tram were injured in the least Two hundred and
fifty passengers were i'll these cars. and their es-
cape only be regarded as miraculous. The
detention OF the western train was occasloned by
the loss of hour at Buffalo in taking on eighty
passengers from the Lake Ere steamboat, which
arrived.as the train was about leaving. Another
hour was lost on the passage between that place
and Utica. and the tram did not leave the latter
place for Albany until l24 O'Clock yesterday
lust previous the collision, this train was going
at speed of twenty miles per hour We learn
that Mr.. Young, the Superintendent, was over
persuaded much agains. his own wishes to send
