Melancholy Railroad Acctdent-Death of Mr. ar

American Panorama.
II is with sincere regret that have to inform
you of distressing accident, by which an amiable
and talented fellow citizen of yours has peri shed
On Wednesday last, telegraphic despatch arrived
here, stating that the railroad train from Hanover
TO Cologne had been thrown off the tracks, one OF
the cars smashed, and three persons killed, viz :
an engine driver, fireman, and passenger The
latter, am sorry to say, was Mr.. Arden, of your
city, who had arrived at Berlin in the suite of Mr.
Barnard, the new United States Envoy to the
court of Prussia, and, after residing here for short
time was returning to his native country via Paris
and London, when his existence was terminated
In so sudden and tragcal manner On Monday
evening, he left this capital In excellent health and
spirits; on Tuesday afternoon, he was a mstilated
corpee.
1t appears from the official report, that in conse
quence OF one Of the joints near the left wheel
breaking, the engine was preciptated down steep
bank, the chains that fastened II 70 the cars snap
ped and the latter continued running on with great
velocity, till the five foremost of hem followed
the locomotive down the precipice, the sixth was
upset near the line, and the balance stopped of
themselves about one hundred and fifty yards from
where the catastrophe occurred. The unfortunate
sufferer was in the fourth car. Several other pas
sengers were hurt, including Prince Frederick
William Of Prussia, nephew TO the king, who was
proceeding to Bonne, where he is prosecuting his
studies at the University, and who received a
slight confusion on the head Besides the casual
iies, one Of the guards had his arm, and another
his collar bone, fractured.
Mr.. Arden was member OF the medical pr ofes-
sion, and much respected for his scientific acquire
ments aud honorable character. The chief motive
for his voyage TO Europe was the desire Of be-
coming acquainted, by occular inspection, with
the state OF the principal medical establishments of
France, and England and his devotion
to science has thus, by mysterious dispensation
of Providence, been made the fatal cause OF his
untimely end. Considering how seldom railroad
accidents heard Of in this country, where safe
ty il sacrificed TO speed, and the natives are
cautious and circumspect, IL appears
peculiarly unfortunate that q man like Mr.. Arden
should have been selected for one of the rare vic
Tins Of such an occurrence. IL will, perhaps, be
some cor ISOLATION for his friends to know that his
death must have been instantaneous, aad, conse-
qD ntly, free from pain.
INN, diately after receiving the first accounts of
this m, anchoy event, Mr.. Fay, the Secretary of
IL cation, set out for the Of the disaster, IN
order 10 take charge OF the body, and rive all the
directions requisite in such case Mr.. Barnard,
in whose family the deceased has been an inmate
yer since they left America, IL deeply affected at
the lors of so valued a friend. "A moet impressive
funeral sermon was prt ached yesterday, AT the
EDglish Chapel, by the Rev. Mr.. Betson, who adj
verted To the religious lite Of the departed as an
assurance that, though the last awful change came
upon him suddenly, he was not unprepaged 10
appear before the throne Of bis Maker and Judge.

thy might for there is no work, nor device, nor
knowledge, nor wisdom, in ths grave, whittier
