VERY LATE FROM THE PAcIFIc-NeWS OF
The Var Reciued on the Vest Coast The New
York Sun has received files of papers from
Kingston, Jamaica, to the Sd inst, and from
Lima, Peru, June 18th; Valparaiso, Chill, June
LIST, and Chagres, June 18th; from which it OBJ
tains the following intelligence:
The U. S. brig Perry, with overland des-
patches, sailed from Chagres on the 18th June
and arrived at Jamaica on the Esd, where she
communicated with the U. S. Consul, and on
the 26th sailed for Vera Cruz, to communicate
with Commodore Conner of the U. S. Blockad-
ing Squadron in the Gulf. Intelligence of the
breaking out of hostilities betu cen Mexico and
the United States had reached Panama, caus-
ing the greatest excitement, but we regret to
add that no authentic accounts have reached US
of the movements or position of the United
States squadron on the Mexican coast. Our
advices and papers from Chill and Peru were
forwarded to Panama by our correspondent at
Lima, in the new English steamer Panama.
This vessel is one of line of four mail-war-
steamers, which have recently commenced run
ming along the whole western coast of South
America, connecting, via Panama and Chagres,
with the old line of English mail steamers run.
ming to England. These lines form commu-
nication with Europe, which is three months
quicker than the old passage round Cape Horn,
and by which the English government hears Of
important events transpiring in The Pacific Ocean
before they can be made known to the government
Of the United States. Callao, since the estab-
lishment ofthe new line, has become the head
quarters for all the foreign men of war 1t has
been the principal depot of the u S. Navy De-
partment. The British mail steamers coming
into Callao deliver English newspapers and let
tiers to British commanders always of later dates
than the american papers and letters in possess
sion of U. S. officers, and on important occa-
sions these Email" steamers refuse to take in
dividuals or letters connected with the service
of the United States or other governments, al
though supported, in part, by American mer-
chants doing business in the Pacific! The u.
S. frgate Congress, Com. Stockton, had gone
North, supposed to the Sandwich Islands. The
frigate Savannah, Com. SIoat, and the Consti-
tuition, Capt. Percival, were daily expected at
Valparaiso to take in provisions and sail for the
United States. The recent disturbances at San
tiago, Chill, have been completely suppressed.
The Republic enjoys tranquility. The Peru
Wan government is in very settled condition:
much more so than it has been for some years.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE RAIL
ROAD Loss of Life. We learn from the New
York True Sun, that the train that left Middle
town on Friday morning, at o'clock, for N.
York, ran off the track near Monroe village,
killing two of the passengers, and seriously in
juring about thirty others. Some seventy or
eighty were more or less hurt. The cars had
on board large Picnic party, on their way to
spend the day at Hoboken. The train consist
ed of 8 crates with milk and passenger cars.
In the first car the passengers escaped. The
second car, contained about 40 passengers,
York, and Mr.. Crane, young man, son ofDr.
Crane, ofGoshen, were killed on the spot. A
number of others were injured, and others
slightly bruised, though, we are happy to learn
none of them sustained dangerous hurts. The
accident was caused by the breaking of a wheel
of the second car; from the second car the train
was thrown off, and coming to small bridge
it broke through and was crushed by the Sd
car. Mr.. Seymour, agent of the company at
Pierpont, Immediately on the receipt Of the in
telhgence, despatched two expresses to the city
for medical aid, one by land and the other by
water.
The New York Gazette gives the following
particulars of the accident:
Not one of the passengers in the second car
escaped without injury, and two of them, son
of Dr. Crane, of Goshen, and Charles Stevens,
of this city, were instantly killed. The names
of those most seriously injured are Mr.. Conck-
lin, of Otisville, badly hurt, Mr.. Oliver, of
Bloomingburgh, who is now in the Hospital
with a fearful injury to his leg. Mr.. Stroud,
Mr.. Hayatt, MIR. Corwin, and Mr.. Follett, all
of this city, considerably, but not dangerously
injured. Miss Sweet, of Middletown, slightly
injured, Mr.. Thompson, milk agent, Mr.. Myers,
brakeman, Mr.. Mcneil, and Mr.. Watkins and
his daughter, of Middletown, all considerably
bruised.
Many others were slightly injured-among
whom was Mr.. Newman, bookseller, of this
city
The third and fourth cars were filled with
large party of children, from Goshen, OH Pic
Mic to Hoboken, and their escape is wonderful.
The scene, when the train was stopped, is
described as being most appalling. Nearly
every one taken out was more or less injured;
some covered with blood; and one young girl
was taken out, with the bones of her right arm
forced through the shoulder.

SIR ROBERT PEEL's Son IN PRISON. The
"Courer DIES Etats Unis' states, that son of
Sir Robert Peel, who was formerly Secretary
of Legation at Madrid, lately received the ap-
pointment of First Secretary of Legation in
Switzerland; but before going to his new post,
he went to London for few weeks, and there
lost by gambling, 100000 fancs, for which
he gave bills of exchange. When they became
due, SIR Robert refused to pay them, and the
son was thrown into prison. The truth of the
story is not vouched for, and is certainly highly
improbable.

STA: The President of the United States,
no less anxious to terminate than he was to
avoid the present unhappy war with the Mex
lean Republic, has determined to make an eff.
fort to accomplish this purpose. He has ac-
cordIngly Instructed the undersigned, Secreta-
~ OF State. to propose through your Excellen-
cy to the Mexican Government, that negotia-
tons shall forthwith commence for the conclu-
sion of peace just and honorable for both
parties. Should this offer be received and
responded to by the Mexican Government in
the same frank and friendly spirit by which
1t has been dictated, he will Immediately des.
patch an Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiafy to the city of Mexico, with
instructions and full powers to conclude
treaty of peace which shall adjust all the
questions in dispute between the two Repub-
lies. If the Mexican Government should pre-.
fer>to send a Minister to Washington to con.
duct the negotiation here, he shall be received
with kindness and respect, and every effort
shall be made to accomplish the object of his
mission with the least possible delay.
In the present communication it is deemed
useless, and might prove injurious, to discuss
the causes of the existing war. This might
tend to delay or defeat the restoration Of peace.
