RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL serious acci-
dent occurred on Tuesday, on the Richmond,
Fredcricksburgh, and Potomac railroad,
within about eleven miles of Richmond
The axle of the baggage car gave way when
there were four persons standing outside on
the platform. The conductor had previ-
ousIy requested them to go inside, in ac-
cortlance with the rules of the company
In consequence of the breakage, the ears
came in contact with each other, when the
four persons outside were more or less iu-
iured. MIR. Thomas Tinsey had his leg
broken, DIR. Hundley received considerable
injury in his foot, Mr.. Beckwith was much
bruised, and fireman so much injured that
little hopes are entertained of his recovery

English IN Eastern Aftia--Hs Faiat Climate
Quite recently the English have made a set
Element at Alden, near The Red Sea. Having
once obtained loothold, they English-like,
began to push about Them, aud one Of their
first discoveries was a river where none was
marked upon any chart, and upon this they
steamed 300 miles witboutinding the least oh.
struction. Having now passed round this con-
t%inent, let lis look up in the interior. For halt
4 century the English government have been
expanding lives and ~tfeasure in a partial ex-
ploralion. They have found that Ibis whole
tract OF country isone OF amazing fertility and
beauty, abouading in gold and all sorts Of tro-
peal Vegetation. There are hundreds of
woods, inva liable for dying and architectural
purposes, not found in other PORTIONS Of the
world. Through 1t for thousands Of miles
sweeps a liver, from three to six miles broad,
with clear water, and Of unsurpassed depth,
4 wing on at a rate Of two or three miles an
hour, without rock, shoaI, or snag, to inter
rupt its navigation. Other rivers pour into this
tributary wnters of such volume as must have
required hundreds Of miles TO be collected, yet
hey seem scarcely to enlarge it. This river
pours its waters into the Atlantic, through the
most magnificent della in the world, consist
ng perhaps, of a hundred mouths, extending
probably SEQ miles along the coast, and ntosl-
" broad, deep and navigable for steamboats, e.
Upon this river are scattered cities, some Of
which are estimated to contain a million OF in.
u%bilants, and the whole country teens with u
de nse population.
rar in The interior, in the very heart Of the
ointment, is a nation in an advanced state Of
vijization The grandeur and beauty Of por-
.,ans of the country through which The Niger
ikes its sweeping circuit, are indescribable.
.aoy places its banks rise bold a thousand
eel, thlckly covered with the richest vegeta-
on Of tropical chimes. But all this vast and
sublime country-this scope Of rich fertility
and romantic beauty-is apparently shut out
for ever from the world. 1t is the negro's sole
possession. He need not fear the incursions
Of the white man therefor over this whole
lovely country moves one dread malady, and
to the white man it is the %"valley Of the shad-
ow of DEATH" In expedition after expedition,
sent out from The English ports, on the Island
Eol Ascension, not one man in ten has returned
alive, all have fallen victims to this seemingly
beautiful, but awful country. II seems imPos-
sible for an Englisman to breathe the air. So
dreadful is it--so small the chance of life, that
criminals in England have been offered pardon
on condition Of volunteering in this service,
more terrible than that Of gathering the poison
from the Upas. This country, tempting as il is,
can only be penettnted at the risk OF lite; and
il is melancholy to think that those who,have
given us even the meugre infcTRation that We
have, do so at the sacrifice Of their lives.

that the cities situated on limestone or tertm-

siderable extent.
From the factlbat it has never visited the
