Arrest of Andrew Findley and Will
 liam Kissane.

The Cincinnati Commercial of the 9th instant states that Mr. James Cole, father-in law of And. Findley, received telegraphic despatch from that individual, on the day previous, dat ed New York, and stating that he was under arrest-also that the city marshal of New York would arrive there immediately with a requisition for Wm. Kissane, and requesting his F's wife to come on to New York with that ofhcer. Findley is charged with being an &C., cessory of kissane in the late heavy forgeries on the Continental bank, and is said to be the individual who, disguised as drover, presented check and drew the money.
 The arrest of both Kissane and Findley have been made in consequence of some information received by Marshal Ruffin, few weeks since, from Mitchell, whom Findley swore, at a re- cent trial, was the perpetrator of one of the 1orgerles of which Kissane had been accused.
 Mitchell stated to MT. Rufin that overtures had been made to him by Kssane and Findley, to present these checks, and that they had of- fered him remuneration of $l,OOO for his ser- vices. This, together with the fact that both Kissane and Findley were in New York city about the time of the forgery, and that, on the day following the presentation of the check, Flndley left that city for Cincinnati, was deem- ed sufficient to warrant their arrest-LouisviUe Democrat

Died-On Friday. the 9th instant M

Oled-On Friday, the 9th instant, Mrs. MARY E. SHALL, consort of David F. Shall. esq., of this city, in the twenty first year of her age, leaving husband, and an infant child, to lament her loss, and to cherish her memory.
 So early called her brief and blameless life had yet been enough to complete the circle of domestic lfe and to bind her. to the hearts of others in the endearing relations of daughter, sister, wife and mohter In all these she was beloved, as those only can be loved who are en- dowed with the gentle, modest virtues, which in her were the light and life of home We need not pry into the sorrow that now darkens that domestic sanctuary, to draw from 1t a tribute to her memory. Enough for this is the evidence of the grief, that struggled in the hearts of those friends, who stood around her lifeless re- mains, in the same consecrated spot, where, but little more than two years ago, they had ga- thered to see her given away as a happy bride
 But 1t IS a deep and enduring consolation to the bereaved that she died in the communion of the Catholic Church, and in the comfortable hope of pardon and salvation, through the me- rits of her merciful Redeemer. lNDExED

MRs RoBINsoN's CAsE-There seems to be misunderstanding, says the Troy Times, as to the present condition of Mrs. Robinsons case. She will not, as is supposed by some, and as stated by one of the city papers, be re- tried at the coming October term of the court of Oyer and Terminer The motion for new trial will have to be argued before the Judges of the Supreme court at general term, which cannot be done before the meeting of the De- cember term of that court in Albany. It will be some time yet before Mrs. R. is again tried, if at all. The grand jury visited her in jail this morning. We understand she was incln- ed to be courteous and agreeable-even conde- scending to exhibit to the gaze of the jury her beautiful face, and to engage in entertaining conversation. The jury is said to be highly de- lighted with their visit. Mrs. R.. since the chaining operation, has been remarkably docile. Her supposed insanity-based on the depravitv of her associations and her conduct-is no long CT simulated as defence

THE DAY OF TR1UMPH.-The abolition hounds who prevented Senator Douglas from being heard at Chicago probably supposed they had extinguished him. A greater mistake was never made. He is canvassing the State of H. linois, and, if we can judge by the accounts we receive, is waking up public sentiment that will bury his enemies in oblivion. His day of triumph has already come.
 The champions of popular sovereignty have only to remain firm, they have but to go gal lantly and proudly before the people-to ach- ieve moral victory second to none ever ach- ieved on this continent. We have no mis- givings in this respect. The fight of the peo- pie to self-government as proclaimed in the Nebraska Kansas act, is an American doctrine as fixed as the everlasting hills. The people have been misled for while, but the morning is brightly breaking.-Detrost Free Press.

A MIscHIEvoUs PARRoT-In Boston par rot that was kept aboard ship, was much in- terested in watching the drays that came to leave goods on the wharf. One day the driver of dray left his team and went down in the cabin of the ship. The parrot watched him, and when he was out of sight began to initiate his talk to the horses. "Whoa Back there back say.'' exclaimed the bird. The hor- ses backed; and the parrot encouraged by the success of his experiment. continued to scream "Back! back, l say.' until the team backed over the wharf into the water, and one of the horses was drowned

Terrible Railroad Accident.

The Cincinnati Gazette of the 21st has the following account of railroad accident, by winch sixteen or seventeen persons were more or less injured, and child killed:
 One of the most dreadful accidents which has ever occurred upon any of the western railroads occurred on the c. H. & D. railway, on north Ca- nal street, near Carr, within three squares of the depot yesterday morning about ten minutes past 10 o'clock. The train Conductor Whit ney) consisting of one baggage and three pas senger cars, containing about 12O passengers, was coming towards the depot. As the loco motive, tender and baggage car passed the switch, the switch lever broke. The rail of the main track being out of line, the wheels of the pas senger cars struck the rail on the end, and two of the cars were thrown with immense violence down an eighteen foot stone embankment into the Whitewater canal, in which there was about four feet of water. It was fortunate that more water was not in the canal, as many might have been drowned.
 From some disarrangement at the switch, when the locomotive reached it the lever snap ped oil, by which, although the engine kept the main track, the cars were disconnected, and the first one was thrown over 14O yards beyond, and the other cars 80 yards nearer the switch.
 The baggage car was thrown off the track, but remained on the embankment; the first pas senger car was turned up side down in the ca- nal, the second car was turned on its side also in the canal and the third car was turned at an angle across the embankment, portion of the car passing over it. The scene which followed themoment the cars were precipitated into the canal can never be described. The shreks and cries of men, woven and children endeavoring to extricate themselves from the cars produced the greatest consternation. In less than two minutes a hundred people were assembled at the scene of the disaster, and were using every effort to rescue and relieve the unfortunate.- All were buried in the water, which stood three feet in the cars.
