runs a O'Clock train from Newark i0r the accOnmo-
daton of mechanics and aborers, whose occupations
call them to the city at early hour and at o'clock the
Morris and Essex freight train Is always coupled on to
this train at East Newark and brought 10 the city
On Saturday there was On unusually long train Of
regh; cars coupled on and in consequence the train
was brought 10 stand still about hall mile west Of
Hackensack for lack Of motive power, and there
awaited the coming Of the 81 o'clock train from New
ark to push them along.
That train came along at full speed and dashed into
the other knocking it distance of 80 feet. Five Of
Of the freight cars were completely demolished There
were twenty cars in the two trains not one OF which
escaped being less broken. Many of the pas
sengers were badly Jared and received other injuries
but We are grat.fed to say that no lives were lost
Their escape seems almost miraculous in viewing the
shattered cars in which they were seated, aud the
wreck of wood and iron along the road.

The LATE MURDER on THE FIVE PoIsTs.-Coro-
ner Perry held an inquest Saturday at tho Sixth
Ward Police Station upon the body of Thos. Grath,
en- elderly man. who was brutally murdered on the
previous dSy in Donayans alley, miserable hole on
the Five Points, by drunken Irishmen named Jere-
miah O'Connor. The particulars of the occurrence
were fully published by us on Saturday. The victim
was poor man, and followed chair mendng ~ an &C
cupatoD. He lived in Eighteenth street, and wan
dered about the city day by day in search of jobs
While at work in the above named alley, no was,
without provOcation, attacked by OCOnnOr, who was
at the time under the influence of liquor, and beaten
and kicked in most shameful manner, and finally was
pushed down the steps leading into an area in the
neighborhoOd, where he shortly after expired. From
the evidence of DR.. Bouton who made post norton
examination of the body, it appeared that death was
caused by conclusion of the brain productivity the in
lures received. The jury, after due delberaton ren-
derod verdict of Death from injuries inflicted by
jeremiah OCOnnor on the afternoon of February Is,
1856 Upon the rendition of the verdict, OConnor
was committed to prison by the Coroner. The de-
ceased was a native Of ireland 81 years of age.

Anne Elizabeth Smith which occurred at The Office Of
Mrs Croker, No. $50 Houston street, the body has
been lying in the receiving vault at Marble Cemetery
Second street with the hope that it might be identi
fed The face of the corpse appears 70 be considera
bly, changed, but it is easily perceived that the fea-
tures were sharp the t)reherd low aud the hair prOse
and Of glos,y black. Deceased stated before death
that she was a Catholic, and several circumstances
tend to confederate the statement Since the close of
the inquest on Wednesday last, number of persons
have examined the corpse with view OF Identified
ton but without success. Ii is believed, however,
that clue has at length been found and that some
thing definite will be known in day or two. The
particulars to which we refer are briefly these:
Young lady, whose parents are said to reside at
Charleston arrived in the city about the 25th of last
December and took lodgings at hotel. After remain
ing Il, W days, and being unable to pay her BILL she
was interrOga,ed by the landlord and replied that she
lad o cousin living in New-York. Application was
made to him and the young lady was removed to his
house. After continuing there short time she sent
for cariugc and left very abruptly and mysteriously
and has since been heard Of The time of leaving
the house Of this gentleman corresponds with the
arrival Of Miss Smith at No $40 Houston street, which
Dr. johnson esfes was on the 2ih or 25th of January
Should the body not be identified in the present in
stance It will be kept in the receiving vault short
time longer before intermen.
