RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL little before eight
o'clock Thursday morning, says the Boston
Traveher, as the first downward Saxonyille
train upon the Boston and Worcester Railroad
was in the vicinity of Auburndule, Newton.
it was partially thrown from the track in con-
sequence Of the sudden changing of a switch.
One car was violently twisted round, but as
the cars were going slowly at the time, there
was but little damage to the train. while the
passengers escaped all injury. Some passen-
gers on the route were, IN consequence, sub
ject to a detention of an hour or more. and
one or two whose business required their pres.
ence in Boston were obliged to charter sleighs
for tho occasion.

tive to the capture Of vessels and prize money

tie her senators to be sworn in without some
action by Congress.
Mr.. Crittenden sent up Mr.. Shields's Gre
denlials. He argued that the matter was a
question Of privilege. He concluded that Mr.

Mr.. johnson of Arkansas, moved to lay the
subject on the table. Lost, by vote of 26
to %.

FIRE AND Loss OF LIFg.-At two o'clock on
Thursday morning barn upon the Stewart
place, in Clinton, was burned down, and. as the
premises were unoceupied, it is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.
AT four o'clock, another fire broke out in
an Irish house. in remote part of the town,
which was totally destroyed, and three of the
inmates persisted in the flames, viz woman
named Grady, her child aged seven years, and an
lrshman from this city, about eighty years of
age, who was visiting the family, all of whom
slept IN the attic and were prevented from escap-
ing by heIapidity of the confagrs ton. The fire
is supposed to have originated in consequence of
free use of liquor, as four barrels of the ardent
were found in the ruins of the cellar, and were
stove by the fremen to prevent their explosion.
