ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE CAMDEN AND AnBoY
RAILRoAp.--An accident occurred on the Camden
and Amboy railroad on Saturday evening, about
seven o'clock, which nearly involved the destruc-
ton Of the train which connected with the Belvi-
dere railroad The train consisting OF three crowd
cd passenger cars, while backing short distance
above Trenton, came in collision with the boom
Of schooner lying In the canal, and which pro-
jected across the track. So great was the'shock,
that the end Of the rear car Of the train, which
was the front one while backing, was knocked to
pieces and the seats torn up, throwing the passen-
gers In a confused heap in the bottom Of the car.
The whole train was more or less shattered and
crushed spnters and glass flying In all directions.
II was almost a miracle that SO few persons were
injured. As ID was, but two or three passengers
were bruised, although every one In the train was
terrified at the crash, Fortunately the conductor
was standing on the front platform, and, although
badly bruised had the presence Of mind TO signal
the engineer 10 stop the locomotive, or the whole
train would have been plunged into the canal, and
the loss Of life would have been terrible.--Phiia-
deiphia Inquirer.

DEATH OF Col. HART, UNITED STATES CONSUL TO
THE CANARIEs.--The correspondent Of the Herald
on board the Jamestown writing from Santa Cruz,
says
When at Madeira few days since, Commodore
Crabbe received letter from Colonel Hart, re-
questing that If convenient the flagship should
call at this port her way south, which was most
checrfully complied with, and the more 30 as the
acting master Of the ship is q nephew Of the late
consul
The ship was accordingly anchored off the mole
OF the town at eight o'clock on the morning of the
gath instant, and at nine o'clock Lieutenant Barnet
alag Lieutenant) was despatched by the Commo
dore to visit the Consul, tender him passage to
the ship and to visit the authorities and announce
officially his arrival Lieutenant Barnet found the
Consul at his residence but aboring under Sc
we're attack Of illness, which seems to have come
very suddenly upon him, as there was evidence in
his apartments that the moment the ship had been
signalized at daylight, he had made preparations
for his visit on board; but being now too III, he
excused himself to Lieutenant Barnet for not be,
ing able to accompany him to the authorities;
asked that his nephew might visit him, and stated
that he would visit the Commodore the moment
he felt able, and having made these remarks sat
down, when Lieutenant Barnet observing that he
was. distressed, left but had scarcely crossed the
Threshold of the room, when he heard heavy
fall, and returning to the apartment, found him ex
tended at full length on the floor and insensible to
speech or movement.
Colonel Hart was Immediately cared for, and the
surgeon to the forces called to his aid and as soon
as possible he was visited by both the surgeons Of
this ship, the junior remaining with him till 4 A.
NJ Of the 25th, when be hreathed his last, without
having been able TO communicate single sentence,
or exhibit other than slight signs Of recognising
the presence Of his nephew.
The diesase or attack seems to have been rapid
and irremediable cerebral congestion which no
care or skill could relieve.

twice as old, in a neighboring town lately. The
