THE HORRIBLE RAILROAD CALAMITY AT NOR
WALK

We devote considerable portion of our availab,
space this morning to the dreadful details of the
horrible railroad massacre yesterday, at the draw
bridge on the Norwak river, at the village Of Nor.
walk, in Connec' icpt
As far as our recollection extends, there has not
been another such disastrous railroad accident since
the first locomotive was putin motion upon the first
railroad that was ever constructed. In the entire
history of all the railroads in the world it without
a parallel The loss of life from the late conclusion
of the two trains upon the Chicago road was bad
enough--the terrible descent down mountain pre-
cipice of part of train but fortnight ago. on the
Baltimore and Ohio road was sufficiently friehtful
in its resuts-but here we have monstrous massa-
ere, approxmating in its magnitude to that reckless
and wholesale slaughter of the burning of the Hem
ry Clay
And it appears that this Norwalk catastrophe is
entirely due to the ignorance of the engineer in
charge of the tran and to the directors of the road
In trusting the express line to a man who had not
became acquainted with the signals The draw
bridge man did his duty, and gave the accustomed
signal but the engineer, IN his rconfident stu
pidty, continued driving until it was beyond al
human power to arrest the momentum Of the train.
Surely this thing demands the most searching and
rigorous investigation. Surely the time has at
length arrived for some action for the security of
life and limb upon our railroads,
We refer our readers to the melancholy details
luTHiSLea Ny our Reporters AelancnOly ana SOr-
rowiul indeed they are A very sad and remarka-
BILE feature of this bloody affair is the loss of
halfa dozen youngphysicians who had been attend
ing the National Medical Convention held in this
city, and which had just closed its business the
evening before in gay and joyous festival at the
Metropolitan Hall. They were doubtless returning
homeward full of bright anticipation Of life of
useful and profitable labor in the practice of their
noble profession. And alasl how many other homes
and hearts than theirs are made desolate from the
atrocious cruelty of assigning the control Of the ex-
press train to an unqualified and reckless engineer
1t is to be hoped that this wholesale sacrifice |
this hecatomb of men, women and children-wlll |
at least result in some efficient action all over the
land for the security of human life upon our rail
roads, and for such pains and penalties against the
appointment of incompetent men to the manage

guaranty of safety to the unsuspectng traveller

CLARA MoRELAND.-The Publisher, T. B. PETER
SON, Philadelphia, has furnished us with copy of
this late emanation from the pen of EMERSON BEN
NET. 1t is regarded by the press as Mr.. BENNEr S
best production. The scenes lie in Texas immed-
ately before and during the late war with Mexico.
The incidents highly tragic, and the entire plot
partakes Of the wild and exciting character of the
country where it is laid. Few will open this story
without completing it and being carried along ir-
resstaby by the graphic manner in which its scenes
are depicted.

The Rev. ELEAzRR WILLIAMs.-BosToN, May g.,
l853.-New Orleans papers of Saturday have been
received. Rev. Mr.. Hanson, of Bourbon notoriety,
was In New Orleans. The Bulletin saws :-.We
learn from gentleman, himself conversant with the
facts that important testimony has been discovered
in this city respecting the mysterious case of Rev.
Eleazer Williams, which go far to confirm the be
lief that he isindeed the Dauphin of France. 1t is
derived from person who was in close intimacy
with the Bourbon family in the early part of this
century, and entirely sustains the arguments pre-
scented in Pltnan1's Magazine.

THE HATTERs OF MUNICH are in difficulty with the
police. 1t seems that every kind of head dress that
they invent is interdicted, as suggestive of dema-
gogy and disorder. A great many innocent titles
have been seized lately, and nobody knows what
he may wear and what he must eschew. The hat
tiers have addressed petition to the municipal
council, to know what shapes are admissible and
what are not. The municipal council replied, on
the 9Th of last month, that they really could not
tell. The Paris Charivari advises the citizens to
appear in the streets in their nightcaps the most
peaceable couture known. Thestyle entitled Gala
brian is forbidden, as seditous the bullying crown
is contraband, because it looks like howitzer or
small mortar; caps and vizors are punished with a
fine, because they are worn throughout Germany
by the students, and all students are demagogues
pointed hats were once rallying signal broad
brimmed hats were worn by Bolivar, who was
revolutionist brown hats, with long fuzz were and
are still the favorite covering of p. J. Proudhon-
Evidently there is nothing left but the nightcap.
