SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE New WorLD.
A serious accident happened to the well
known steamer New World, as she was
making her regular trip to Albany last ev-
enine. About 7 o'clock, when off Fort
Washington, the connecting rod of her en-
CINE broke. BY the accident a portion OF
the machinery was driven through the bot
tom of the vessel, making a large hole,
through which the water rushed SO rapid
ly as to defeat all attempts to keep the
vessel afl0at Much alarm was excited
among the passengers, Of whom there
were go on board, but the steam-t tug Ohio
and a schooner which was in the vicinity,
Immediately coming to their relief, disem-
barked them il safety. But little baggage
besides carpet, bags and valses was saved.
The freight, of which the New World had
a large amount, will of course be serious
injured, as the vessel is submerged to the
second tier Of state-rooms. The amount
of damage which she will sustain cannot
yet be accurately ascertaiued. Insurance
against fire had been effected on her, but
none against marine disaster-N. !.

Get Ready for the Census Man

Next year will occur the great decen

general government Persons will be ap-
pointed for every locality in the States and
Territories to gather statistics of the inhab-
itants, and of all the agricultural produc
tons, manufactures, etc. Every cuiiyator
will be asked for concise and accurate
statement of land occupied by him, the
number of acres and the amount Of each
crop raised by him during the year ending
June. ETC. Those who were called upon
in 1850 will doubtless remember the diff
Guilty experienced in making up an accur-
ate report of the various crops. AS these
reports will be called for in June, ii will
be necessary to give in the crops gathered
this year, and the suggestion that we now
make is, that cultivators write down, while
fresh in mind, tie number of acres under
cultivation, including the wheat, etc. al
ready gathered. The number of acres OF
each kind, the amount per acre, and the
gross amount will be required. The milk
products, also, and the amount of pork
beef, etc, will also be asked for.
