We regret to be assured from a source that
precludes all doubt Of the correctness of the in.
formation, that the President has instructed Mr.
Buchanan to demand from the British Govern
meet the recall of Mr. Champion on the ground of
his participation in the enlistment of men for the
war in the Crimea. In common with large
proportion of our intelligent fellow citizens, we
had hoped that these reports were premature
We are constrained to abandon the hope, and
give full credit to the statement. So.

Sad Rail Road Disaster.
lhe New YORK papers contain the details OF
the sad disaster on the Hudson river Railroad.
1t appears the accident was caused by dis
placement of one of the rails which was being ad-
justed, when the Express Train came up and was
signaled to stop, which it did. Efforts were i'm
mediately made to signalize the train in the rear
but, owing to the ice on the track, the engineer
was unable to stop his train, which ran at full
speed into the rear car of the Express train, kill
ing three persons and shockingly mangling a
number of others E, - -... ~. ,-..%
