NORwALK, Friday May G. 1851 P NJ
Rv far fhe most dreadful calamity which has ever
beallen the New-Hayen Railroad occurred here this
| morning $500
The morning Boston Express train which leaves New
| York at A. NJ ran off the Draw Bridge over NOrwalk
| HarbOr .
The draw had been raised to let the steamer Pacific
pass through her way to New-York The locomotive
baggage car and two passenger cars were pecPtated
into the river below distance OF some twenty icet ana
all the passengers buried beneath the wafer, nearly all
of whom were instantly killed or drowned before assist
ance could reach them
| The third passenger car was broken into one half
falling dOWnupon the wreck below ana bracng back the
Most nffb p
of the car escaped uhurt while those IN the fore part
were either killed or more or less injured
There have been thus far Al bodies recovered,
which must comprise nearly all who were killed. We
also notice about 20 who were rescued seriously but not
dangerously injured all of whom we think Will recover
OF the dead now recognized are:
Mrs Tnent. Mass Rev Lehor WiIliamsburgh
DR. Smith Springfield DR. Beach, Bridgeport
| John Moss Gardner, Me DIR. Nash, Bridgeport.
| Dr. Archibald Williams Hartford.
The Coroner is engaged in inquest, and the
| names of others will no doubt soon be ascertained.
OF those wounded, il is next to impossible, amid the
general confusion to ascertain either the exact extent of
| their injuries, their names, or residence.
Mr. ComstOck the Conductor, in the second car
which went down and has escaped with numberess severe
but not dangerous wounds. Mrs. Dr. GriswOd of New
York was rescued with some slight bruises Her daugh-
ter taken out for dead has just been brought to by the
| physicians and pronounced out of danger Since re-
| apsed, and will probably die
A little infant saved by gentleman, who says it
was in care of an aunt who drowned They
their way TO the chids parents, in Springfield He be-
heVed its Parker. Ii is well cared for by
] the ladies If South NOrwak.
| We observed the news boy, who was In the third
! broken car escaped unhurt. The Express Agent who
was sitting upon trunk in the baggage car, escaped
most miracuously by forcing his way up through the
roof of the car He has several very bad flesh wounds
The mails are supposed TO be all saved, is most of
| the baggage belonging to the passengers.
There was Convention of medical gentlemen cOnven
ed in Ncw-lOrk last evening and many physicians
in the train their return home This accounts for the
number of doctors among those killed. There were
! several among those who were saved, who united with
our own physicians in rendering every possible assist
ance to all requiring their aid Too much praise cannot
be awarded citizens and the ladies of South Nor
walk in particular who rendered every possible relief to
the sufferers.
The scene of the disaster beggars description. The
grooming of the wounded and the wall of Others the
dead bodies of their friends aud relatives exceed in hor
ror anything witnessed in NOrwalk before Wives
mourning the loss of their husbands and husbands their
wives and children their parents--indeed the whole
scene is which could not but melt aud subdue the
hardest heart and lead all to bow in humble resignation
that All Wise being In whose nscrutable providence
this awful calamity has occurred
We have no heart TO speak, in this connection of the
blame which attaches to somebody That awful guilt
resulting from carelessness, somewhere, have
doubt. But of that anon.
