ANOTHER AWFUL CALAMITY-CoL-
L1sroN ON THE SusoUEHANNA RAILROAD.
-BALTMoRE, Wednesday,. July s.
An awful accident occurred yesterday
about 81 P. NJ. on the Susquehanna
Railroad, FIVE miles from this city, near
the relay.
The excursion train from the Ameri-
can celebration at Adair's Grove was re-
turning, and came in collision with the
regular passenger train from Baltimore
to New York. About 1000 PERSONS
were on the excursion train, coming at
full speed. The excursion train con-
tanned IA cars, and the crash following
the collision was terrible.
1t is believed that over 80 persons
were killed, besides 100 injured, 40 of
whom are badly, and many fatally.
Among the wounded are some so in
jured, that recovery is doubtful. There
were some who died during the night,
after being carried from the scene.
Nearly all of the passengers killed
and wounded belong to this city. Twen-
ty-four bodies were brought in from the
scene at midnight. An inquest has
been held over the victims. No verdict
has yet been rendered.
1t is now feared that the number of
deaths will reach forty, as many of the
wounded are now lingering in the most
dreadful agony, and cannot possibly.
survive much longer.
The R. R. Co., are loudly censured,
and the most intense excitement per-
vades throughout the city.
SECOND DIsPArcH-1O A. M.-John
Scott, the Conductor, and thirteen 9TH
ers have since died.
There are, in addition, number of
others unknown. The bodies of the
dead are crushed in an awful manner
Third Dispateh.-Mr. Jeffr1es is still
living. but he will probably expire be-
fore evening. He was much esteem
ed.
Several additional deaths occurred
this morning. A number of others,
wounded, have been brought TO the city.
They are mostly of the poorer class Of
society, and the scene on their arrival
was heart-rending.
On the first rumor of the accident
last evening. thousands congregated at
the depot to hear the result and as the
particulars came in, the most deafening
shrieks and cries rent the air.
The accident was no doubt the result
of carelessness.
The inquest is still proceeding.

SEPARATION OF CANADA FROM GREAT
BRITAIN.--A very remarkable debate,
says the Cincinnati Times, has recently
occurred in th. British House of Lords,
in which prominent English statesmen
avowed their belief that the time had
come when a peaceful separation of
Canada from the British Empire ought
to take place. They supported their
opinions by sound logical arguments,
which are destined at no distant day to
influence the action of the British Gov
eminent. All its Legislation for the last
few years has tended to that end. The
governmental connection of Canada
with Great Britain is now burdensome
and injurious to the former, without
being of any benefit to the latter. The
population and resources of Canada are
greater, in every respect, at the present
tine, than were those of the United
States at the period they asserted their
independence in l776.
The Canadas have arrived at that
stage of national advancement which
renders an independent government
political necessity. The British states
men, wiser now than they were before
our revolution, will make no opposition
to this manifest destiny" but will ac-
commodate their policy to it.
The tenor of this discussion in the
Lords, would seem to indicate that Great
Britain intends no longer to struggle for
commercial and political superiority upon
the Western Continent, against the
United S ates-that she is convinced the
odds are too greatly against her to give
any hopes of success; for an abandon
ment of Canada would certainly be
equivalent to giving up the field.
Owing to negro emancipation. her West
India possessions have already become
entirely valueless to her-their agricul-
tural products hardly supplying the
home consumption. 1t seems unlikely,
therefore, from the present decaying
British interests in North America, that
that country will consider herself bound
to do anything to prevent Cuba falling
into the hands of the United States.-I
The London Times has already ex-
pressed such an opinion. and we confess
that we have but little fear of an active
English opposition to our acquisition of
that Island, beyond the support Spain
may receive from her diplomacy.
Hor WEATHER IN NEW YoRK.-The
Herald of the 7th inst, says:
During the past three or four days
we have been treated to a pretty fair
specimen of the kind of weather they
have at the tropics; the mercury was
up to ninety-ive, and in some places as
high as ninety-seven, while the city was
converted into one vast oven, in which |
the people were nearly roasted to death.
So intense was the heat during the day,
that no person could stand with impunity
under the sun for an hour; the pave
ments were almost as hot under the feet
as burning Goals; the naked hand could
not touch iron which had been exposed
to the suns rays without blistering, and
even the little wind that was vouchsafed
to our parched city, was like blast from
a furnace.

GREAT FfRE IN PHlLADKrPHfx.-A

The great Museum building, containing
two Of the largest saloons in the coun-
try, was totally destroyed; also, seven
large buildings on George street. The
Waverley Hotel, Belle Tavern, George

On Chestnut street, the FIRE extended

containing stocks of immense value
The museum and theater belonged to
Isaac B. Parker, of Burlington, who is
said not to be insured. Their destruc-
ton is complete. His loss is about
s390,OOO. The roofs of seven dwell
lings on Samson street were also injured.
The damage done to the Girard

to a crisp. 1t appears after he had
escaped, he went back to recover his
watch from the dressing room, and was
never seen alive after.
The audience in the Theater all es-
capped safely. 1t is supposed the Thea
ter was set on fire, as the fire broke out
in the carpenter shop belonging to the

The Erening Post still insists that removing tue
duties from English coal would reduce the price
If fuel 70 a moderate rate. The Independent holds
the same language, and so does Ihe fHr''dn
B,eorder. This notion is absurd. The irelgoton
English coal is alone nearly So tun, or quite as
much as the usual price Of the best anthracite
and that freight would remain were the duty
abolished. As for the duty on coal from the
British Provinces that will disappear as soen as
the Reciprocity Treaty is confirmed by the Pro-
yincial Legislatures and no petitions to Congress
are requisite on that subject. In fact, theimport
dutv on coal is now matter of very triilng con-
sequence either way Protection TO iron and
other manufactures using great quantities oil coal
is indispensable to extensive production and cheap
ness of the commodity so long as those maau'ac-
tures are not able to resist European competition
and TO live without protection; but direct protec
tion 10 coal mining is now of not much account In
any respect
The kdependent speaks of the coal duty as OPP
pressing the poor and burdening the community
for the sake of enrichng certain landhoders In
" PENNSYLVANIA" This is also erroneous Inc
owners of coal mines, as general thing' rent
them out at so much for every tun mined. IL Is
TINS their interest that the quantity taken out
should be as large as possible, and that low
prices should stimulate the demand to the great
est extent. The present rates are injurious to
the landlords as well as inconvenient to
the public for they tend to diminish she
number of tuns mined and to cut down their
incomes This fact The Independent is probably
not aware of or it would not charge these enter
prising capitalsts-whose predecessors were ru-
ined after lS46 by the British free-trade policy
of which that journal is supporter-~lth OPP
pressing the poor and burdening the community.
OF the dealers in coal we know nothing, aud can
not say that they would not like to combine and
monopolize the trade. But the landlords are not
likely to pursue such a course Very likely there
are bad men among them; but as class, we do
not believe they deserve the imputations which
The Independent ignorantly puts forth

The Richmond Wing is confident that Mr.. Fill
more and the party - of which he is the acknowl-
"edged head and representative" will not sup
port the ticket just nominated by the Wings,
Anti Nebraska, and Temperance men in this
State. The Buffalo Commercial Adrertiser in
timated as much before the nominations were
made, but we are not aware that any steps to-
ward the realization of this purpose have been
taken since. The party in question bolted and
opposed the Wing nominations in 1850, when the
platform and candidates were, in comparison
only moderately Anti-Slavery, but now it seems
that the times have changed and that the Silver
Grays have grown conservative as they have
grown older. Still it is possible that they may
yet show some signs of life and invent new
ticket of their own, especially since our can
ddstes have all put themselves upon the unmiti-
gated Saratoga platform. fit were possible, the
true policy of the Silver Grays would seem
to be to support Judge Bronson, but since
be has turned his back on the Compromise Of
1e50-which forms the entire stock in trade
Of this little party-it is hard to see how
they can take him up. The truth is, they ought
to have candidates Of their own stripe. 1t would
add wonderfully to the interest Of the election.

We publish this morning summary Of testi-

Ofcourse no one doubted that certain parties in the
Common Council had been bought and sold time
and again; but that the daily practice of bribery
and of peculatiOn had spread through almost
every branch of the Government, that men es
teemed as the very perfection of honor had been
contaminated by collision with wellknown
knaves, or at least were 90 far suspected of such
contamination that Grand Jury, acting under

TEMPERANCE RATIFICATION MEETING AT
AIBUKN.

AUBURs, Thursday, Sept 2s, 1854.
The Temperance Ratification meeting was called to
order TO day by Wesley Bailey OF Oneida
About 200 persons were present.
Hiram Putnam of Syracuse was elected President,
John Marsh, Leban Hopkins, and Mr.. Chandler OF
Orange, Vice Presidents, ana Prot Mccoy Secretary.
A prayer then offered by the Rev. MIR. Marsh.
Mr.. Bailey denied the charge made against him Of
having gone 10 the Wings,
Mr.. W. ii. Burlegh followed him declaring tho
Wings had come to the Temperance men and offered
n resolution ratifying the DnatiOns OF Clark and
Raymond Cheers.
Mr. Marsh OF Oswego then rose and said, that
Temperance men they knew no Wings no Democrats,
no partisens whatever.
Mr.. Sanford Of Erie wished to know whether it was
desired that anything opposed To the resolution should
be offered, or whether 1t admissible. He warm
ly opposed the nominations
Mr.. Davis of Tioga anmadverted severely on the
Of Mr.. Sanford, and urged him to go nome to
Erie with message of peace. He also reflected Sc
verely others not fit to attend Temperance Con-
ventiODs.
Mr.. snodgrass said It did not become us to crci,s
other peoples motives. He hoped s here would 20
home feeling they had done their best to overthrow
the men in power, and that this feeling was in
fused into the masses. lCheers
Herman Camp asked what good could be done by
voting against Mr.. Raymond Good faith demanded
submission to the majority. 1t would not do TO de-
mand antecedents. He himself would suffer IL they
did, for be old liquor seller once. Laughter.
He then referred to ST. Paul, who he said had anece-
dents which Ananias objected to- but which the Lord
removed, saying, Behold he prayeth.'
Mr.. Burleigh in an eloquent strain, urged them to
union and success
Mr.. Kellogg said he did not care for antecedents.
The question is" Win Raymond do work 2"
The resolution then passed.

The Courier and Enquirer is not pleased to see

The Courie, and Enquirer is not pleased to see
the candidates of she Wing party of New-York not
only receiving the nominations of Temperance and
Anti-Savery Conventions, but actually declaring
their sympathy with those bodies, aud The Com
uereiaI Adrertiser is also exercised on the same
subject. 1t is always a pleasure to agree with
those journals, but we are sorry to say that the
present difficulty does not appear to us so very
frighiful. Indeed we may add, with all due
respect TO our cotemporaries that the facts in
question seem rather salutary and agreeable tnan
otherwise. For some years now THE TRIBUNE
has fought the battle of Temperance and Freedom
almost alone among the press of this City, and
with no little oboquy and some pecuniary loss to
itself Accordingly has no tears to shed when
the wisdom of this long struggle receives so bril-
liant and powerful al attestatiOn as that just
afforded by conventions representing the vast
majority Of the sober and thinking people of
New.York, and of gentlemen so eminent for char
acter and position as the Wing candidates. We
would do anything in the world to oblige our
respected friends of The Courier and The Com
mereiai; but really, when the whole State comes
over to our side they can't expect to be dissat
isfed, however they may feel about it.
