An accident occurred on the Marietta
and Cincinnati Railroad at Lees Creek
Bridge, sixty miles east of Cincinnati, on
Saturday morning. The middle pier of
the bridge was carried away during the
night by the gorging of the ice and high
water, leaving the bridge standing. The
accommodation train, consisting OF one
baggage and two passenger cars reached
the osntre of the bridge when it gave
way, prsoipi,atiag the train intothe creek
a distance of fifty feet. Ten or twelve
lives were lost, besides number serious
ly injured. The rear carr fell on its end
and took fire. Several passengers were
burned to death The Eastern express
train on the Central Ohio Road, ran off
the track near Newark on Saturday NOR
ming, throwing the cars down an embank
ment. No one was seriously injured.
BY dispatch from St. Louis we learn
that the Northwest Department is to be
added to the Department of Missouri and
Kansas, and that Major General Pope,
who is now in that city is to have com
mand. General Curtis is to be transfer
red to the nprth headquarters, at st, Paul
Minnesota.
The Allen Bill passed the Upper House
of the Canadian Parliament on Friday
night 1t will probably receive the Gov

The bill approving the consolidation of
the Galena and Northwestern Railroads

a Washington dispatch to the New
York Commercial says the inlications
are that more vigorous war policy will
now be adopted.
1t is rumorei the force of Jurez has
achieved victory over the lmperialists
in Southern Mexico, aud has captured an
important city. There are no particulars.
These rumors have the countenance of
the Mexican Minister at Washington.
The Ways and Means Committee on
Saturday decided definitely in regard to
the tax on petroleum. Upon crude oil
they impose tax of six cents per gallon.

Tue Commission hoases appear to have
come to the conclusion that they must
moderate their views respecting prices,
and are offering their goods at low figures
The iobbers, however, cannot be tempted
to buy anything beyond small parcels, to
provide for the immediate demand. The
manufacturers of cotton fabrics are pur-
suing strictly cautious policy. The
difficulty of procuring paying prices for
goods discourages productioR, and the
consequence is that, although the receipts
of cotton are increasing, there is no cor
responding augmentation of the supply
of goods, and cotton, being thus kept
duwp in price, is sent abroad, where it
will realize relatively higher prices than
here.

The British and the blockade,

The humanity of our British cousins,
which is remarkable commercial ha-
manity, was shocked almost into hyster-
les, two or three years ago, by our attempt
to sink distractions at the entrance of
Charleston Harbor Terrific volleys of
vituperation were discharged at us on the
occasion, Richmond ribaldry was scarce
ly match for London Billingsgate. The
,commercial nations of the world were ln-
Eoked, to take the vandalism into con-
sideration. The stone feet proved fail
ure. Our neutral friends rejoiced.
Perhaps they deemed the issue of the ex-
pertinent special interposition in their
favor, and in response to their disinterest-
ed prayers
Ever since the insurrectiop began,
they have carried on a lucritive trade
with the rebels. The obstruction of har-
bors was measere incompatible with
their -potiQns of trade. They must have
cotton-that was plain. Aud they must,
as honest people, pay for it Clothing,
arms and munitions of war we're convent
ences that Rebels in arms were naturally
anxious to obtain and these the CONNER
sial people aOuld-vey conveniently sup

ply. Thus nice little smuggling trade
sprang up l,etwsen our southern breth-
ren and our English cousins.
That this traffic was prolonging the war
and causing the death of unuumbered
Thousands of men, was consideration of
some weight, in its proper place but was
not to be dragged into aquestion of COM
mercial enterprise IF commercial hu-
manity could stand the British opium
trade in China, it could stand the Snug
Cling of arms into the South, though they
were to be used against friendly Gov
ernment
1t is a matter of some curiosity to know
how the people, who were SO stricken
with horror by the idea of stone feet
submerged, will feel themselves affected
by an iron-feet atfoat, in the mouths of
our harbors; Those who have sometimes
laughed at our blockaders, out az sea, ex-
posed to storms, and nightly involved in
darkness, will find materials for serious
reflection, in shore batteries, with plenty
of ironclads in the offing.
We think we can venture to assure
them that they will still be welcomed, as
cordially as ever, in Wilmington harbor,
as they drop in occasionally. Not one of
their richly freighted ships, we presume,
will be turned inhospitqbly away. The
port will be open to their style Of ccm-
merce, for some little time, without the
probability of Presidential peoclama-
tion. We hope they will make free, and
run in Commodore Porter will be glad
to see them, and SO will his boys.-Pihs.
