ty thousand vessels from sixty to three hum
dred tons. The present treaty, as now made,
will not be attended with any commercial
advantages. and every device will be adop-
ted by the Japanese to deter our ships from
entering their ports; but think they can be
pleased, and eventually induced to open
trade with US, which will be attended with
great benefit to the United States. But it
will not be accomplished by sending ships

that it will by going without military pow.

The Practices of England and
France VS.. their Professions.


The Baltimore Sun Of Thursday publish
es a letter from a Constantinople cores
pondent, which contains some sensible OBJ
servations upon the probabilities of Hanga-
ry, Poland, and Italy obtaining their indie.
pendence by the aid Of the Western Pow
ers: The writer says that both England
and France, whose statesmen and journals
have been and are still using every effort to
convince the world that they are the chami
pions of liberty and civilization, have, SO far,
employed only words. They were the first
to reject the overtures of the European pat.
lots who focked to Constantinople to offer
their services to the Turkish government;
they not only disapproved Of every inclina-
ton, the Porte at one time entertained for
espousing their cause, but, in order to enlist
Austria Oh their side, have promised to use
every effort to suppress any revolutionary
movement that may be made either in Italy
or Hungary; they encouraged the P,rte to
form treaty with Austria, by which she
was to occupy the Principalities, and no
sooner did her soldiers take possession ofthem
than all the refugees in the employ ment Of
the Ottoman army were ordered to leave at
twenty-four hours notice, unless they wish
ed to be seized and shot. The cause of Hun
gary, Poland, and Italy, is indeed hopeless,
if its sole dependence be upon the Western
Powers.

FrighsfuI Accident ON the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad.

The passenger train which left Cincin-
natl for Jacksonville yesterday, on the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad, at 10 o'clock A.
M, ran off the track at the gravel-pits, about
one mile beyond North Bend, sixteen miles
from this city. It was occasoned by the
switch fastening giving way after the loco-
motive passed over. The passenger cars
were wrenched from the baggage car; the
latter remained attached to the locomotive,
and was dragged two hundred yards over the
cross-ties. The first passenger car ran
against q gravel train standing on a side
track, which completely demolished the
trucks of the former, and turned its course
toward an engine-shed, which 1t partially
demolished. The velocity of the car was
arrested, however, by the locomotive which
was in the shed. The two conclusions,
however, rendered it complete wreck
Out Of thirty seats, twenty.eight were lev
eled to the floor; the ends were smashed in;
the stove rolled over the floor, strewiRg red
hot Goals in every direction. The second
passenger car was scarcely less a wreck;
many of the seats were wrung from their
fastenings, one end crushed in and the front
trucks carried off. These cars were of the
most splendid kind. costing over $2, COO each.
Providentially nearly every passenger
escaped uninjured. The only person seri-
eusly injured was .brakemaa named Viii.
liam Mitchell, apparently, about, forty years
of age, He was thrown from his post to a
distance Of twenty feet, fracturing his skull,
tits feared, and injuring his back. This
poor manwas alive at 4 O'Clock lastevening,
but it is doubtful if he will recover. He Is
said to be a very worthy, industrious man,
very poor, with a large family and an inva-
lid wife. The passengers collected S92

tedto hand itoser to the doub ly-afflicted
