SHOCKING ACcIDENT.--While the laborers were
engaged on Monday evening in removing the steps at
the Exchange, the heavy brick arch which support
ed the step; gave way and large portion Of it fell
upon Mr. Cyrus Gault OF the firm OF Emory &
Gault, contractors for the work. and upon MIR. Rob
ert Davis, one of those employed MIR. Gault's in
uries are supposed not to be very severe. Mr. Da-
Wis was most shockingly hurt; his right thigh for
some six or eight inches was crushed and his right
arm broken near the shoulder. The Physicians ex-
press doubts Of his recovery, SO severe are his
wounds. lBalumUre Sun.
ROBBERY AND ARREsT.-lnformation was yes
terday received from Washington by Hays, Iell II
Co. OF q robbery which had been committed in tha,
city about $1,000 having been stolen from MIR. Pat
rick MCGEE, in gold and silver coin. Suspicion had
attached to Owen AcG Gee, nephew of,he former gen.
ilenau, and he was believed. TO have departed for
Baltimore and in fact the information and the sup
posed felon arrived in the same train Of cars. The
young man was promptly arrested by officers Zsll
and Charles Scott, and an examination took place
before Justice Gray, in the course Of which bag of
colo was found, which without counting was sealed
and deposited in the Bank of Baltimore. The young
man, we learn, did not attempt 10 deny the charge
against him. lie was committed TO jail TO await
further examination. Bait. Sun.

CHARGE OF SLAVE. STEALIHG.-!The following
statements were made in letter from Vergennea,
VT. by G. d. Jewett, and published in the Boston
Chronicle:
Miss Della A. Webster, who has been arrested
and is now confined in Jail at Lexington, Ky charged
with breaking the slave laws Of that State, is
daughter of b1r. Benjamin Webster, of Feuisburgh,
VI. She was engaged as teacher in seminary.
Rev. Calvin Fairbanks, who is now in prison, and
in irons, in the same Jail with Miss w. and upon
the same charges, is Methodist minister, who,
while visiting Lexington boarded in the same house
with her. MIR. +. preached once in the Congrega-
tonal church in Lexington, while there, to the ac-
ceptance Of his audience; and soon after, three
slaves were missing.
A reward was offered and every effort made to
find them, without success; and, upon this failure,
suspicion rested upon DIR. F., who was followed
into an adjoining County, arrested, brought back
and imprisoned. Shortly after, Miss Webster was
waited upon by the authorities at / o'clock at
night and the inspection OF her trunk demanded,
which she scceded 10 without objection; and on the
following day tihe 9Th Of September) she was ar
rested and imprisoned, and has since had three in.
dicments found against her, has been held 10 bail
in The suzl of $1,000, and now awaits her trial,
which takes place in March.
We understand the main cause OF suspicion
against her consists OF letter. alleged TO have been
found among her papers, speaking OF her acquaInt-
arce with Ar. +. while boarding at The same house
with her, ard OF general remarks about slavery and
las though perhaps not least, that she happens 10
be northern lady.
Bliss Webster is a respectable young lady, Of
worthy family, well educated, and OF fair talents,
and denies ever having uttered an Abolition SEMI
ment in Kentucky, excepting one time, when, being
impertnently questioned on thar subject, she said
she wished the slaves were all back in Africa, and
she would be willing to spend her days in teaching
tLop, fer rhay b14 sn,,yc Har fnfh 10
by the citizens OF Vergennes and Ferrisburgh to
haze been always hostile 10 Abolition in any form;
indeed, he has been noted for bis ultra opinions on
this subject.

Magnetic TeIcsraphs.

We announced some days ago that arrange
ncnts were in progress tor establishing Mag
aetic Telegraph bsiwsen New York and Boston,
". have sine, b.en inforRed that LEosARD GALE
snd F. ]. O. SMITH are the parties by whom
lhe enterprise is under,aken they having purchased

TO the capital of Massachusetts.
gre also learn that similar communication BE-
tweed Albany and Buffalo is 10 be established dur

then why not extend it TO the West ard South? The
benefits to be derived from this new application oil
of magnetic power are incalculable, battling even
the imagination Of The widest enthusiast in his ef-
forts to conceive of them. Brother Jonathan, we
believe, is ahead OF all the rest Of The world in this

stance which indicates so high adegeee ofinventive
