ANOTHER TERRIBLE CALAMITY Steu-
bcnsile (Ohio) Union, Of the 10th inst, gives an
account Of another heart rending calamity, which
occurred at section rs Of the SteubenvilIe and IN
diana Railroad, on Tuesday, 18th inst. The eastern
end Of the tunnel had been driven but about fifteen
feet, and there were some ten persons in it at the
tors. when the rock roofing over head gave way,
crushing five OF the men to death in the twinkliHg Of
an eye. a sixth man was partly buried in the trag-
monts OF the rock, aud was dug out with his leg
badly broken aud crushed. Those who were close
UP 70 the termination of the work in the hill escaped.
The unfortunate men were dug out soon az pos
sibc, AID on Wednesday evening brought TO this
city and inferred in the Catholic burying ground.
Three Of them leave families which were dependent
on them for daily bread. lIc,c j. field f9r the
exercise Of charity.

70 which Il properly belonged, which is the last but
one. This decision was appealed against, but was
ustained by the House. Subsequently, motions were
made to 60 into Committee the State of the Uni0n
and for other purposes, and at the usual hour the
sitting terminated, during which the ayes and nays
were taken only four times
This being private bill day, the House took up the
bill granting relief to David Myerle, which has been
before Congress for about seven years, who claims
having sustained loss by the rejection of waterrotted
hemp which he agreed to furnish the government.
The yeas and nays were taken on motion to lay the
bill on the table, which was negatived, and on the
final passage Of the bill which was carried by ma
jority Of four.
At this stage Of proceedings, Mr.. Polk, re-
newed motion which he made yesterday, to recon
and report Of the Secretary of State in relation to
the seizure and confscation of the Georgiana and
Susan Loud, to the Committee on Foreign Relations
protesting to entertain great apprehensions as to
their publication, and concluded with the novel mo-
ton that the House be cleared Of strangers. This
was negatived by an overwhelming majority, and
the document having been read, was found to con-
tain no information whatever.
The New York Branch Mint bill did not come up
to-day, and lies over till Monday; from what can
discover and in the estimation Of the friends OF the
bill am happy to say there is every probability Of
its being favorably entertained by the House.
The House adjourned over till Monday. N. 5.
