U One of the most terrible acct
dents that has ever happened through
the agency of crinoline, occurred lately
in one of the English ports on board of
the Royal Albert, vessel of the British
Navy. One afternoon, while the decks
were thronged with visitors, the dress
of lady, in passing one of the signal
guns, caught the percussion hammer
and brought it over upon the fuse. The
gun, which was loaded with blank cart
ridge, went off, and one of the crew,
who unfortunately was either standing
in front o.. the gun o.. had been working
about it, had his arm blown off close to
the shoulder. This sad event caused
much CONSERVATION as well as regret
among the visitors, and the lady who
had unwittingly been. its cause tainted.

escape lately received in New York
from London, was exhibited I'M the Park

merous assemblage of citizens. The
subjoined description is given of the

human life in moments of the most dis
tressing danger.

Sad if Iyue.-A case of desertion
and attempted suicide came to the no.
tice of the police yesterday, (says a
Cincinnati paper of the 4th,) which, if
The facts stated by the young woman
are true, will prove that truth is stranger
than fiction. A young lady named
Mary Jane johnson was found in the
Union House, on Front street, near
Ludlow, yesterday forenoon, having
previously taken two ounces of Iauda-
| mum. Under medical treatment she
| was soon out of danger. She is about
sixteen years of age, and is reported
| bv those who have seen her to be quite
| accomplished. Her story is, that she
is an orphan child, and was possessed
of property to the amount of S6o,oOo.
| That while at a school in GAINESVILLE,
Tennessee, she became acquainted with
a young man named Waite, who ruined
and married her, after which he brought
her to this city and deserted her, having
previously managed to obtain $4,000
| from heM She is now at the Commer-
cial Hospital. Her story may be true,
although at the first hearing lit appears
to be of huge proportions.

The Democracy in Oregon.
The Portland (0regon) Advertiser, of Sep
temIer 2Gth. has the following.

The Portland (0regon) Advertiser, of Sep,
tember Goth, has the following:
Scarcely day passes that we do not re-
ceive the most fattering assurances from
nearly every portion of the State that the
good old cause of the regular Democracy is
gaining strength in every quarter. The
unanimity which characterized the proceed
ings of Our late State Convention. the enthu-
siasm manifested thereat, the well known
and sterling abilities of our nominees for
Presidential Electors, all attest the healthy
growth of the Douglas Democracy. and as
clearly foreshadows the speedy downfall of
the dsunionists. In Lane, Linn, and Ben
ton counties, where the Yancevites have
hitherto boasted of their numbers, and
dared the regular Democracy to marshal
their forces beside them, new light seems to
have broken in upon the public since they
have examined into the principles of genuine
Democracy, and we are daily receiving ac-
QUESTIONS to our ranks from the secession
camp. In Benton county, where Messrs.
Westmoreland, Farrar and other prominent
Democrats delivered addresses last week. the
Breckinridgers have lost several members
from their club, and hosts of citizens who
have hitherto expressed their dislike of both
Douglas and Democracy, have declared their
intention of quitting the piratical craft of the
laneeyiles, and joining the forces of the reg
ular organization.
From Douglas, Jackson, Josephine and
other counties south of the Calapooia noun
tains, we also have cheering intelligence to
the effect that the Democracy have become
aroused to the necessity of action, and are
everywhere man;festing an earnest zeal for
the success of true principles over the hybrid,
mongrel conglomeration of isms' comprised
in the boilers creed This is at should be
for at no time in the history OF our country
has there been greater necessity for vigilant
action on the part of every lover of this
Union than at present, when this confedera-
cy is bcset not only with the shoals and
quicksands of internal discord, but the ma
ton is also threatened by horde of ruthless
whose only hope for bettering
their fallen condition lies in the iniquitous
hope of building a southern confederacy over
the ruins of portion of the present super
hope that it is the duty of ev-.
cry citizen to blast in the bud.

A BOGUS PRINCE OF WALES IN ST. LOUIS
A St. Louis correspondent writes as follows
to the Gazette, under date Of September
18th;
A great deal of merriment was created in
this city, on the 18th, 10y the appearance Of
haudbiIls throughout the place, headed by
the British coat of arms and V. r.. in enor-
nous capitals The contents of the placard
stated that the Prince of Wales and party
would arrive by the morning train from Chi
cago, gave the line of march and details
with all the accuracy of a New York Alder
man, and signed by order of the Commit
tee of Reception" The joke was rather
heightened by the blundering character Of
telegraphic dispatch received on Saturday,
the 10th, stating that the Royal party would
arrive here on Monday and as no date was
given, many simple minded persons supposed
that the first Monday following (the nth J
was meant. During the morning, there was
great curiosity manifested to see the distin-
guished strangers Sure enough, about half
past ten they were announced. A handsome
carriage, drawn by four gray horses, ap-
peared in the principal streets, in which were
a fair young man and puffy old fellow, all
covered with iewelry and medals, wearing
an English uniform; the former supposed to
be the youthful Prince. and the latter the
! Duke of Newcastle. AS such, hundreds
greeted them, and they passed up and down
the streets, and TO the suburbs, unmolested
and unattended, for some time. At last, the
Chief Of Police thinking the joke had gone
on long enough, interfered, and arrested
them. They proved to be as vile a pair as
ever sat in the closet of repentence-the pre-
tended Prince notorious strumpet, her at
tendant fancy man, whose face is familiar
to the Recorder as a woman-beater. They
were juggcd, and this morning fined twenty
five dollars piece for misdemeanor,

ANoTE IN Ell DORADO CouNrY.-The fol-
loving record, writes a correspondent, ex-
hilits the state of political feeling among
twenty seven qualified voters, employees on
the road now in the course of construction
by Mr. Ogilby, from Junction House to
Dicks Flat. 1t may be proper to mention
that there was no inducement of any kind
used 10 influence these votes; that none but
qualified voters and actual employees were
canvassed; that the writer is not one of the
latter, nor Of the political opinion of the ma
iorty, and that he writes this at their re-
quest; also, that there is every reason to be
lieve the Douglas majority will be increased
on election day.

600 men had been modified, and that per
manent camp was about to be established
close to the Swiss and Germanic frontier

SPAIN.-A letter from Madrid gives the
details of a transaction that proves how
strong an animosity exists between the press
and the Spanish army
1t appears that some soldiers of the Borbon
regiment were recently punished and so
barbarously that their sufferings terminated
in death. The liberal paper, La Discussion,
directed public attention to the severe and
illegal punishment the men had undergone
and, as reply to the article, the editor, NJ
Riviera, who is also a member of the Cortes
received a challenge from the Colonel of the
regiment; he could not, he said, allow a ci-
william to make any comments on the conduct
of military men. The duel took place. and
as the Colonel is an expert shot, while NJ
Riviera has no skill in the use of the pistol
the latter was dangerously wounded. After
the duel, another Colonel Amelia, came for
ward, ayowed himself the author of the arti-
Gle in question, re-asserted the truth of the
statement, and in his turn challenged the
Colonel Of the Borbon regiment, but the au-
thorties have inteIfered and prevented the
duel

AN eastern paper has the following j.
v Hall, Principal of the Accomac Military
school, who was so shockingly mutiated by
the premature discharge of cannon last
July, arrived in Norfolk, Sunday from Bal
timore, where he had his right arm amputa-
ted near the shoulder and the left below the
elbow. The sight of one eye is destroyed,
and that of the other is very imperfect, so
much so that it is expected to eventuate in
blindness. The Argus says:
Although his arms have been amputated
for many weeks he can scarcely realize now
that the amputaton has taken place. The
arms and the very fingers seem to him to be
still in their place, and the sensation of pain,
&c, is felt, as was the case before they were
removed by the sharp surgical instruments
of the skilIful physicians who performed the
painful operation.
