placed will all pass under review by the pub

may be said at first, by those who take but

From the Utica papers, May 18th.
THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAIL
ROAD DISASTER.

The Cincinnati Express train, due here at
go A. NJ, was a little behind time ut
Whitesboro, and as it passed that station,
several persons who were awaiting the arrival
of the Utica Accommodation train for the
West, observed the high rate of speed Both
trains reached the fatal bridge about the
same instant. Both engines crossed in safety,
and neither engineers perceived anything un-
usual. As the baggage car Of the Express,
and the first freight of the Accommodation
touched the bridge, the north side of the
structure gave way. The freight cars went
over; one to the bottom of the creek !;
another diagonally over that; and two others
were drawn far off the track, down the en-
bankment, while the residue of the train was
thrown from the rails. The single passen-
ger car attached, was badly Jared, but no
one was injured.
But the Express train was transformed in
an instant from scene Of life to charnel
house. 1t consisted of four passenger cars
The first car crossed the bridge. The second
struck against the abutment, its front sink
ing and its rear rising. The third shot
under and into the second and the fourth
still under and into the third, piling- the cars
three high The first car was completely
shivered; not seat left into its place, but all
completely wrecked into atoms. The other
cars dovetaled one into the other, in most
disastrous commixture.
The timbers OF the bridge were certainly
rotten. Some of the main beams, as they
were taken by pieces from the ruins, were
pulpy and friablc from the progress of decay.
The main, or centre stringer, at the point
where the break apparently originated, WAS
thoroughly rotten. On this the weight of
the passing trains mainly rested, as the ends
of the cross-timbers or needle beams, were
boltcd thereon, The bridge was only three
years old, and the external appearance of the
woodwork would lead one to believe that it
was strong enough to bear up any weight
that could be placed upon it, it was thirty
five feet in length, and about ten feet above
the water.
When our reporter arrived there, all the
killed and wounded had been removed 10
this city and to Whltesboro, but the sight
presented even then approximatod sufficiently
to the horrible, to enable one to realize the
terrible scene at the time of the catastrophe
Cars heaped on top of each other, one end
high in the air, the other in the water , frag-
ments ofthe wreck, iron, wood, glass here
and there clots of blood, scattered ON all
sides were quite enough for us, without
going into the examination ofiractured skulls,
broken limbs, protruding entrhils, and look
ing upon the CHASTITY victims Of Il sudden aud
horrible death

THE MANUFACTURERS or
wINOOsKJ.

We observe gratifying indications of life
and activity at Winooski Falls The Machine
shop on the north side, destroyed by FIRE
something more than year ago, is now in
process of re-crcction. MEssRs. EDWARDS,
whose establishment occupied large part of
the former building, have purchased the
property, together with share Of the fine
water-powcr, have erected wooden building
70 feet by 40, filled it with new and approved
machinery, have associated themselves with
partner. and arc carrying on their business,
Of manufacturing Machinery and Mill-gear of
all kinds. under the name of EDWARDS & STE
VEINS This, however, is but temporary
quarters for them. Their permanent loca-
ton will he in a spacious brick Shop one hun
bred and hrenty feet long by forty wide, ex-
tending at right angles to the bank OF the
river, which they are now erecting and expect
to have completed in about one month. 1t is
to be fire proof. The wooden wing at present
filled by their machinery, will, after they va
cate it, be occupied by MEssRs. COLE & Co,
(who were burnt out of the old Shop, and
afterwards of the Pioneer Shop,) with their
Axe-helve Factory. The Foundry, close by,
was purchased last season, and will continue
to be run, by Mr.. NYE.
THE WINoosKr MILL. opposite, has resum-
ed active operations, as we have before stated.
1t is as quiet and well ordered a concern as
Cotton Mill can well be, and, under the care
of Mr.. Horace Barrett, who has superintended
it SO ably for several years past, it cannot but
be well-managed and profitable concern.
The large Wooden Mill of the Messrs. Har-
dings is now "running full" Messrs. Har-
dings employ three hundred and twenty-five
hands; they use n ton of wool day, and
are making fifty thousand yards of cloth a
month. We suppose this is about twice the
quantity that the mill has ever turned out
before in any other hands; a fact which will
surprise those who are not aware of the I'M
common energy, skill and practical business
tact of the Hardings. They manufacture
principally cassimeres and black doeskins
and their products have an enviable reputa-
ton throughout the country for both finish
and durability. The wooden business is still
depressed by the excessive importations o.
foreign cloths, made half from wooden rag,
. remanufactured, and forced upon the Anne
rican market at cost, as well as by the gene
raj stagnation occasioned by the monetary
pressure of the last six months. Messrs
IIardings are, however, of the opinion tina
the people cannot wear their old clothes for
ever, and are manufacturing in reference t.
: future demand which we trust and believ
they will not fail to find.
We arc glad to see these signs of renewe'
7 activity in the mills at the Falls. Winooek
is not rival of Burlington. Her prosperit
is part of our own; and we hope soon to sc
r the day when her fine water power shall b
taxed to it's utmost by score of factories

THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAIL-
ROAD ACCIDENT.

The terrible accident on the New York
Central Railroad, which occurred on Tuesday
morning, near Utica, appears to be attribu-
table t, two causes First, two trains from
opposite directions, Zone being II little behind
timc) were crossing bridge over Sauquoit
Creek at the same time, thus bringing an cx-
traordinary weight on the bridge. Second,
it appears from examination that the timbers
of the bridge were greatly decayed, some of
them being rotten nearly through
\ coroner's jury was held, Tuesday eve
| ming. Benjamin Stoutenger, engineer of the
accommodation train, testified that the en-
gines passed over the bridge at the same
on the West side, when there was suddenly
jerk and the tender broke short Off The
engineers have orders not to run two engines
at the same time over the bridge at Rome,
| but no such orders as to any other bridges.
| George Baylis, justice of the peace at Whites
town, deposed that two weeks since he passed
over the bridge and was struck by therotten-
ness of the wood. Many Of the beams were
Of bastard elm, apparently unfit to bear their
own weight. He had stamped his heel n to
them by the side Of the rails and found them
perfectly rotten. He had mentioned the
fact in conversation before the accident.
The theory of the railroad employees is that
the axle of the baggage car of the express
train broke and thus caused the accident
This is destroyed, however, by the fact thai
the baggage car was over the bridge wher
the break took place, as well as by the evil
dent rottenness of the bridge.
Thus, from most culpable remi,sness of duty
no matter whether from one of the cause
or from both COMMUNICATING livs are al
ready lost, and twice or thrice that number
are seriously injured. Such disasters will con
tinue to happen till the laws shall be such a
to compel thorough judicial investigation
whenever they occur, and to ensure sever
punishment on all whose recklessness or neg
lect occasions them.

BRITISH CRUISERS AND AMERI.
CAN VESSELS.
May 18th, 1858.

BRITISH CRUISERS AND AMERI.
CAN VESSELS.
A good deal of stir was occasioned about
a week ago by the reports of two or three
American vessels being brought to and cx-
amined by the officers of an English War
Steamer, the Styx, on the Southern coast.
Capt Howe of the Schooner Mobile of
New York, says he was brought to on
the Goth ult., by being fired into by musket
shots,-that Lieutenant from the Steamer
boarded his vessel and examined his papers.
The officer said he had orders from his Gov
eminent to board every vessel passing up or
down the Gulf
The Steamship Philadelphia, from Havana,
the sth inst, reported that British gun-boats
were engaged in searching all the vessels
taking in cargo at Sagua-la- Grande for
Europe, and neither the United States or
any other flag was exempt from the search.
Friday last the barquc w. n. Chandler ar
rived at Boston from Sagua-la- Grande "a port
of Cuba, about 100 miles east of Eavana)
and reported that the vessel was boarded
while lying in that port BY boat from the
British war steamer Styx. After overhauling
and examining the papers of the barque, the
officers in command left and proceeded to
board all the other American vessels in port.
The captain of the port had taken the matter
in hand, and declared that he would put a
stop to such proceedings within his jurisdlc-
ton.
Other accounts of like tenor have follow
cd. Very naturally the matter has made ex-
citement in the Seaboard cities, and at Wash
ington. The attention of Congress was i'm
mediatcly drawn to it and explanations from
the British Minister, Lord Napier, were called
for by the Secretary of State, Mr.. Cass.
There is no doubt that the acts complained
of are a part of Il system of measures in pro-
gress to check the landing of slave cargoes
in Cuba.
The impression prevails at Washington that
there has been some misunderstanding of or
ders, and not any design to 60 contrary to
the established arrangements of the two ma
tons in regard to the Difference to be paid to
their respective flags by each others nation
al vessels.
The Slave Trade was long ago..declared to
be piracy by the chief maritime nations Of
Christendom, our own among the rest. Yet
it is notorious that the seizure of SLAYER by
an American vessel is very rare thing.
Probably twenty, if not fifty, are seized by
British vessels to one by American vessels
1t Is equally notorious that slavers depend
mainly on their sailing under an American
flag, to escape seizure, when no American
national vessel is in view. Some more effect
i've arrangement ought to be agreed upon
than the one now existing.
We should be heartily glad to SEQ oul
government engaged with that of Grea,
Britain in scizing and hanging for piracy
every slave trader on the seas but we dc
not look for that yet awhile.

The ETHAN ALLEN MoNuNENT.-We I'M
derstand that the excavations for the founda.
tions of the Ethan Allen Monument now in
progress in the burial ground near the Falls,
have failed to disclose any bones or any signs
OF grave at the spot which the tablet to the
memory of the Patriot has hitherto covered.
1t has been assumed from this fact, that

he erected, y is not exactly determined, and
petition lis now in circulation, and obtaining
numerous signatures, asking the Commission
ers who have charge of the work, in their dis
erection, TO cause the Monument to be erected
on the Battery, instead of the Cemetery.
We suppose there is no doubt that Ethan
Allen was buried in Grass Mount Cemetery
but, as the tablet was not placed until a
number of years after the interment, it is
quite possible that it did not cover the
grave; and it is quite probable, also, that in
the 69 years since they were inferred, the
remains have mouldered entirely away, and
mingled with the soil
