DISASTROUS ExPLosIoN.-One of the most sin
gular explosions on record has occurred at the
foundry Of Bird & Weld, in South Trenton. As the
wOrkmen were pouring melted iron in the mould Of
large wheel, the hot iron came in contact with
with some iron in the mould which had become
wet, and gas was generated to such an extent as to
raise the flask, which had about two and half tons
of pig iron on it, some three or four inches the
flask sunk Immediately, and in an instant it was
again raised, and the hot iron thrown all around
the building with such violence ss to imbed itself
in the woodwork, and adhere closely to the stove
and iron pillars in the foundry. Two young men,
William Allibone and James A. Coopsr, had their
legs very severely burned One of them was in
corner of the foundry near the mould, and stream
of the melted iron played against his legs forcing
itself through his pantaloons and down into his
boot, which was almost half filed, and when the
boot was removed the iron was cold. The other
received almost es much injury. The dreadful suf-
ferings of these young men can be imagined but
not described. Mr.. Charles Dean was also injured
In the leg, aud the rest of the men escaped without
injury.

| SEIZURE OF ARMS FOR THE CUBA ExPED1-
TIoN.-The NewYork correspondent of the Phila-
dephia Ledger, under date of the 10th inst, says
have it, on what believe is good authority,
that government agents have, within day or two,
made a discovery Of large quantity of arms and
ammunition, slowed away in suspicious quarter
Of the city, supposed TO be destined for the Cuba
expedition. They were not to be shipped direct
from this port South, am given to understand, but
to find their way into the Gulf of Mexico, by way
of the North river, the Lakes and the Mississippi
There is no certainty, however, that this is the
purpose TO which these warlike stores were to be
devoted but it is stated that the movements of
tain strangers, who appear to have the manage
ment of them, determined the officers to interfere.
The stores are now under lock and key, awaiting
government investigation, and we shall know the
| result probably in day or two.'

AFFAIRS AT WAsHINGToN-" Ion " of the Bal
timore Sun, under date of the 18th inst, writes the
following from Weshington:
The friends Of Union and compromise have tri-
umphed in the Senate. 1t has been hard strug-
gle; but it may now be presumed that it has passed
the crisis, safely, and, rs soon as Mr.. Benton, Mr.
Hale, and others will srmit, bill embracing
California and the territorial government will pass
the Senate.
They will pass, too, under the recommendation
OF committee of thirteen MEMBERS selected from
different quarters of the country, and of different
parties, and any man who may oppose the views Of
that committee will be put down es a dsunionist.
There are but two parties TO this quesiionthe party
in favor of Union by force, and the parry in favor
of Union by compromise.
The report of the committee will carry great
weight with it in the House, for many Southern
members would refuse to vote for California, except
in combination with bills establishing territorial
governments.
Mr. Benton scouts the appointment Of the COM
mlttee, for the obvious reason that the opinion OF
thirteen men will be stronger before the country,
than that of one man. 1t will place the freesoiers
and Mr.. Benton on disadvantageous eIounds.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has sent clerk OF
his department to California TO inquire into the con-
dltion OF the revenue there, the sub,reasury, etc.

writer in Blackwood's Magazine says: 'The
parties ruling in the United States are at this mo-
ment making the vastest sacrifices to each other
sacrifices Of great principles well as of great in
terests. And why Because, did they not do so,
the Republic would not hold together perhaps for
twelvemonth; and once severed, they know full
well what would be the magnitude of their disaster.
Mutual sacrifices and concessions are, in truth, the
ties that bind them together. Let their common
glory and their common destiny, let the knowledge
of what they have achieved united, and what they
would become if severed, once fail to produce a
patriotism or a national virtue powerful enough to
cause them to yield sectional interest for the com
mon good, and to fOrego great party principles and
objects for the preservation Of their institutions ant
the integrity of their Government, and glory would
soon take leave of their Israel" See how well the
real ground of our strength is known abroad, and
how those who are most jealous Of us regard the
importance Of our union and stability.
