Delaware weekly Republican. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1841-188?, 1857-09-10

Saturday evening, between the express and
freight train, near White Horse Station, New
Jersey, eleven miles below Philadelphia, when
live persons were killed, among whom were
Mr.. siner, merchant of Phil adelphia; the en-
gineor and fireman of the Express train and
thirteen were seriously wounded. Among the
latter was VIM. Lowe, son of VIM. G. Lowe,
of this city. He was removed TO the hospital
In Philadelphia. The cause of the accident is
attributed to the violation Of the time table
by the employees of the freight train, who
were anxious to reach the city to participate In
. an excursion.
We learn that Mr.. Lowe, on receiving q des-
patch on Sunday morning, hired carriage
and proceeded by land to Philadelphia, to at
lend to his son.
THE DELAWARE RAIIRoAD.-The President
of this road, Hon. S. NJ. Harrington, inspected
It frop one end to the other, few days ago,
and we learn that it is in complete order. The
travel on it is quite large, and the amount of
freight forwarded is really astonishing. Some
ten or twelve large freight cars were brought
up to Dover, from Seaford and other points by
the passenger train, on one evening last week.
AT this point tho passenger and freight trains
are divided, an engine attached to each, and
by the time the latter reaches this city, it
sometimes numbers, we have no Goult, eigh-
teen or twenty cars. On Thursday evening
the market cars brought up over 1000 baskets
of peaches (besides quantity OF other ar
tcle 81 from which the farmers receive hand
some profit as they sell in Philadelphia at Sls
to 81 per basket. The charge for freight is
about eight cents from Dover, and at this rate
car will not pay more than $50. Tho state
ment made some time ago in regard to q car
hiving yielded Sl25 was calculated to mis-
lead and therefore we make the following ex-
PLANTATION. When the market car was first put
n,there was amuch greaterquantty of articles
to forward than it would hold, and consequent
ly freight car was loaded and forwarded by
the same train; while all the articles wer
manifested by the market car, which mad
1t appear as though the company receive
double the sum for the car that they rcalI
had. The coarser articles, such as pot
toes, apples, nc, are forwarded at a low
rate than the finer ones, the object being

Mr.. Brown, the freight superintendent, is
obligiug officer, and under his manageme
the interests of the farmers, as well as tho
of the company, will be promoted.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMsuH AsrA,-Tl
steamer Asia arrived at New YORK on Thu
day morning from Liverpool, which port 81
left on the 22d. The files, though no lat
than those brought by the Vanderbilt, u
rather fuller, aud we Gull from them the su
Joined additional items. Among the passc
gers by the Asia are Signor Ronzani, and Il
famous ballet troupe for the Phladclph

three performers. The leading female da

RUSSIA AND THE EAsT.-The rumor that II
Russian government does not intend to rema

To De correct. That government, as we lea
from letter of the 10th instant, from st. z
tersburg, intends to take an active part

A letter from st. Petersburg SAYS that

FRANCE.-A broker on the Paris BOurse
been sentenced to fine and Imprisonment
asserting that the conspiracy to assls. lie
Emperor was plot got up to influence
election.
With regard to prospects in Paris all t
can be said is, that the principal houses c
tinue day by day t. write that better times
at hand, and that with equal pertinpcity
quotations of the BoTrsc contradict all IL
anticipations. The monetary condition

prevailing difficulties have not been aires

1t is probable considerable time must
elapse before the trade o. the country will

RHINFORoEMENTs FOR INDfA.-PAssAGE
TROOPS THROUGH EGYPT.-Aiter what has b
stated in Parliament by Lori PalmerstOn
the subject of dlspatching the troops to In
through Egypt, it is evident that the follow
announcement, though appearing in u Ere
semi. official journal, should be received v
reserve. The Pays says:
We learn by letter from London, of
18th, that permission has been definitely gra
ed for the passage of English troops across
Isthmus of Suez. The troops will take
railway, and will find at Suez boats taken
at Calcutta by tho East India Company wa
ing fol them. According to arrangene
made by agents of the company, these sh
were to be in the Red Sea by the end of A
gust at the latest. The authorization grant
by the Vicsroy Of Egypt does not extend
the future 1t is only temporary, and spcc
for the existing occasion.

August 18th, speak of the immiu-nce q,
rupture between the Courts Of Sardinia a
Naples, arising out Of the affair Of the o.
liari and the descent on the Nraroli
