" At 10 o'clock the procession was formed,
all uniformed with white dresses and badges
of blue ribbon, the tallest in 'front.' and so on
alternately to the last-1ooked grand in the

And as they proceeded, the mellifuent sounds
of tho sweet and consonant violin and flute
caused the very hills and dales to echo and
re-echo; and if there should have been any
monotony, these, our fellow countrymen and
friends to humanity, were ever ready to drive
away dull care by their pleasing variations, in
striking their Tyre to the ever pleasing tune,

The Missouri ELEoTIoN.-The st. Louis

election. The IateIltgencer of the 10th, says
"Our returns are meagre and undecisive

AccIDENT.-On Wednesday morning about
IL o'clock, 10th inst, the railroad gale on
Front street was smashed into pieces, by the
steamboat train from Norwich. The train
was switching up to go into the depot, and
was proceeding towards the Common, when
the gate tender opened the gate. The shaft
of that ponderous affair ives pointed towards
the train on Front street, when wagon ran
upon the track and rendered 1t impossible for
tho gateman to swing it fully across the street,
If it had remained inc this position half
minute longer, the train would have struck
the end of it, and it must have gone through
the front car, and committed some havoc
The gate tender, however, had the presence Of
mind to swing it full across the track, and he
had just done so when the train struck it.
Nobody was injured.

Esq, of this city, has at his green house a
very fine specimen of the Victoria Regia, that
