nOs sol NEW YoRK, March 7.
A New Opera.

La FoTzd del DestiYo.- This opera was Civ
en- to the New York public few days ago,
in the Academy of music. 1t drew the
largest and most fashionable audience ever as
sembled within its walls. The music is by
Verdi, and is said to contain some of the best
things this author has ever done. Verdi has
composed some twenty operas, two of which,
Ernani and Rigolette, have hitherto been con-
sidered by musicians his best composition, but
La Fora will probably bear off the palm.
daVerdi's genius is not hampered by the
schools. He is quite independent of all such
criticism and writes just such music as eases
his fancy, without regard to the standard any
school has set up. La Fora is essentially ly-
rlc and contains some terrible scenes. 1t is
thought by some that he has but little ambi.
ton to be esteemed great professional COM
poser. He is politician, and is ambitious to
occupy high position as statesman, and his
musical compositions serve not only to amuse
him but also to make his name popular among
the masses. He has been a member Of the
Turin legislature for few years past, and he
evidently desires distinction as a patriot,
rather than fame for his musical compositions.
His music has been severely criticised, but he
bears it all very patiently. He writes excel
lent music for brass instruments, but his mel
odies for the soprano are not such as Bellini,
Donizett and some others have written.
And yet Verdi must be considered musical
genius of no ordinary character. On La For
"a he has probably bestowed more labor than
on any other Of his operas.

Terrible R0iIrOad accident and Loss of Life.
New YORK, March 7.
We are indebted to Frederick Liser Esq,
editor OF the New Haven Palladium, who was
on the Philadelphia train, for the following
account of the accident on the Camden and
Amboy Railroad, taken from the statements
of Mr.. E. l.. Fox, post route agent and his as
sstant, Mr.. j. R. Elliott:
The accident occurred at Bristol, N. j., on
the Camden and Amboy Railroad, about thirty
miles from Philadelphia, at two o'clock this
morning. Adams Express freight cars from
Washington were off the track near the sta
ton. The one o'clock midnight train from
Philadelphia when it came up was detained in
consequence on the same track, a little in the
rear. No signal light was seen by the engi-
neer of the six p. M. train from Washington
indicating detention, therefore it proceeded
regularly. There was a curve in theroad at
this point and the train ran into the rear OF
the IL p. M. train from Philadelphia. The
engine of the six P. M. train from Washing
ton was completely encased in the rear car OF
the Philadelphia train, which was filled prin-
cipally with soldiers. As the collision &C.
CURED the hind end of the passenger car was
elevated and the engine was encased in the
forward end of the car. The passengers were
showed to this end of the car and were being
buried amidst the ruins, being only extricated
by cutting the car to pieces with axes. One
passenger was taken out dead, and two others
so injured that they died in few moments
One OF the fremen of the 6 P. M. Washington
train was killed. The engineer and another
fireman escaped. rags N
Another account gives the number of killed
at five. The persons killed are all reported as
being soldiers. Some thirty others were in
jured. some seriously and one badly scalded.
The wounded were taken to the house adJoin.
ing, where all the attention that could be be-
slowed was shown by citizens. Two other
cars of the train were demolished, one being
broken into splinters. The force of the coils
ion threw the cars of the Washington train
back some 200 feet. The mails were detained
at this point seven hours. The only names
that could be obtained were VIM Ragin, I'd
Conn. artillery, Co L, killed, and Sergeant
VIM. H. Allen of the same Co., wounded in
the head The soldiers were most of them
returned prisoners. No other passengers were
injured. gag sr IL
Among the wounded is Leroy Varnum, Co
D, 21st Maine, fracture of ankle ~
Some twenty were so slightly wounded that
they proceeded on their journey. Those un
able to travel have been sent to the hospital.

WASHINGTON, March Z.
The report that man named Thos. Clements
had matured his plans for the assassination of
the President on inauguration day, had an
origin in the following facts: Clements and
another man came from Alexandria on Satur-
day. They were both extremely disorderly, and
seemed to have been drinking freely. Clements
in particular was very abusive. he said, using
gross and profane language, that he came
here to kill the President, that he was late by
about half an hour, and that his Saviour
would never forgive him for falling to do so:
tina, he would do it that night, namely the 5th
OF March, and that he came expressly to do II.
and he would do it be ore he left town. He
furthermore said the government had robbed
him of a certain, sum of money. This i the
substance of an affidavit.
Clements has been turned over from the
military TO the civic authorities, and commit.
ted to jail for trial. ---"g
