A TRACE OF THE LYoNNAIs- One IF the Boats
FouHd-The following is an extrac. from a letter
received from Captain Peabody, of ship Neptune,
which sailed from New York port, 5th ult for Liv-
erpool. The boat alluded to undoubtedly belong
ed TO the i'll fated Lyonnas:
THE mate came down and told me thsre was a
wreck in eight l went on deck. and saw it was a
small boat Lowered boat, and soon had her made
fast OF us Commenced unloading her of her scn-
tents. The boat was large, and well filed with pro-
visions. Six bottles of brandy two kegs of wine
hams meats, two chronometers aud qusntity of sill
yer coin tabout 950U) suppose the boat belonged
to French steamer, as there was spy.slsss one
end of which wss engraved "Crs Franco Ameyioaia
steamer Lyonnids"
This statement, says the New York Express
would seem to afford a reasonable hope that the
passengers in the boat alluded to have been picked
up by some passing vessel, bound to q distant port,
which has yet to be heard from. The Lyonnais,
it will be remembered, had FIVE boats il all. Two
of them were swamped, and went down as soon
as they were launched. A third contained the
passengers rescued by the E-emen bark Elise,
and brought to this port. The boat seen by the
Captain of the Neptune must have been one of the
remaining two, hitherto unheard from.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON THE WILMINGTON AND
Manchester ROAD.-A most fearful accident
occurred on the Wilmington and Manchester road,
on Monday afternoon. near the Pee Dee River,
about ten miles from Marion U. H. 1t seems that
both trains were behind time, and were venturipg
on. each expecticg to meet the other, when, In
passing around a curve, and where the grade Ia
very heavy, with hardly the warning of moment,
the collision took place. The engine of the dswn
train had just increased its steam for the ascent
and the descent of the grade added to the mo
mentum of the up train. There were three pas.
senger cars attached to each train, and as they
crashed together five were disabled and one almost
utterly broken in pieces Both engines and the
baggage cars met the same fate. Not person
was killed and no limbs were broken. Most of the
small injuries received were by fremen and brake.

into the ditch by the side of the track box car
on the down train was filled by large number of

but neither of the negroes nor the gentleman who
accompanied them were injured, though thrown on
