A BAD SMAsH.-The Pittsburg Post tells us
of recent railroad collision on the line between
Monroe and Adrian, in which damage to the
amount of $4,000 was done. The trains were
running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour,
and, although every effort was made to stop the
speed in the half mile intervening after the
danger was discovered, the collision was terrific.
Both locomotives were ended over on the track,
and both trains were in ruins. When within
about twenty rods of each other, the engineers,
&C., leaped from the engines, and escaped Sc
rious injury.

GREAT MEN-Among the early risers we en-
countered near the market-place, on the Avenue,
this morning, were one Daniel Webster and one
Winfield Scott The most favorable time for a
pleasant How-do-you-do with an old gentleman
by the name of Henry Clay, during his occa-
sional visits to this city, is at sunrise in the
morning, in the same vicinity. The impress of
greatness is thought to be congenital with some
men; but energy, resolution, perseverance and
industry may possibly have something to do
with mans destiny.

NEWARK, (N.sJ October Sl.-The Newark
Daily Advertiser publishes letter. dated Mar
settles, which states that Kossuth was much
excited at the Project Of the city allowing him
to land only on condition that no demonstration
should be made, and also at the conduct of the
French government. The letter states that
Kossuth has addressed rather an abusive letter
to the American Consul at Marseilles, in which
he denounces the Consul, and Captain Long, of
the frigate Mississippi, saying that he would
leave the ship ut the first port she stopped, and
that he would proceed by private conveyance
to the United States. The writer of the letter
to the advertiser thinks there is no just cause
for such conduct on the part of Kossuth and
doubts if he ever intended visiting America.
[The above is certainly indicative of some
thing which may mar somewhat the "distin-
guished consideration" Of the American people
for the illustrious exile-a thing which they
themselves would be very 10th to have occur.
There is perhaps some misunderstanding in the
case, which, when explained, may modify its
aspect. BALI. Sun.

Horrible, most horriblelp-Hamlet.

The Pittsburg Daily Post says:
"Since the awful disaster that has recently
overtaken Whiggery in Pennsylvania and Ohio,
we presume Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster will
soup-ercede old Fuss and Feathers in the
affections of that party"
The ridiculous allusion made in this abortion
of pun is to one of the most able documents
ever written in relation to the Mexican war
"the hasty -plate-of-soup letter" of Gen. Scott
for whom it appears to suit the taste of some of
his countrymen to coin new nickname.
Except in the writings Of inspiration, more
correct history never was written beforehand
than may be found in that letter and the subse-
quent military orders of Gen. Winfield Scott
If there is anything hasty in Gen. S.,-if he has
heart prompt to the impulses of generosity
and honor, certain it is that his country has
never had cause to regret the fact; for he
has ever been victorious commander and
merciful and humane conqueror.

National Assembly perform their duties, the
privilege Of inyiolability protecting them from

behave well, are permitted to leave the prison,

GA FAIR EXCHANGE is NO ROBBERY But
we believe all exchanges are not fair. Yester-
day, for instance, William Bayne found Thomas
Wallis coat on the Presidents grounds, hard
by where Thomas was at work, and as it was
decidedly better than his own, he made an ex-
change. Thomas pursued William down the
Avenue, and finding his coat upon his back,
took William, coat and all, nolens uolens, before
Squire Smith, who restored to Thomas his coat,
and sent William to Jail, where such things are
hardly needed.
