GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE eo Gzonartown, May 25, 1855, Yesterday afternoon, as one of the Union Line omnibuses was coming down the hill leading to the Bridge street bridge, an aoci- dent occurred, which resulted in Mrs. Bibb, wife of Judge Bibb, being seriously injured. It appears that some portion of the ruoning gear of the coach gave way, when one of the wheels came off, and ths whole weight of the front part of the vehicle coming upon the horses, caused them to descend the hill at quite a rapid gait. Mrs. Bibb bec ame fright- ened and imprudently attempted to ju mp ont ofthecoach In doing so, she was thrown violently upon the pavement, and received a severe cut upon her chin. one over the left eye, one of her cheeks badly bruised, and one arm dislocated. Mrs. B. was immediately taken into the hotse of Mr Scrivener, and medical assistance sent for. Drs. Bohrer aud Mecoall, jr., were soon in attendance, and dressed her wounds; after which she was taken homeinaback. Her injuries, though severe, are not considered da: us. An accident befell the packet boat Con- gress, while on her downward trip yesterday evening, which will detain her from making her regular trips for several days. While passing through one of the canal locks she was careless!y ran into by a scow, which so seriously damaged her bows as to cause her to si-k. She was soon raised again, however, and taken (this morning) to the ship yard of Mr. Easby to be repaired. She will be ready to resume her regular trips again on Monday next. It is suppo-ed that the accident was purely the resalt of carelessness or design upon tho part of those in charge ef the scow There was a large number ot Passengers on board the apres at the time.

Not the slightest accident of any kind happened during the day, and all returned highly pleased with the day’s exercises, and anxious to make another excursion on board the good steamer George Page, Capt.

This is owing to various causes: among them, the demand for houses is not so pressing as heretofore; money is not so plentiful, and the continued advarced Prices of labor and ma'erials.

Dr Johnson, also, when it came to bis tarn to die, spoke not in the march of hisown majestic rhetoric—passed by even the cadence of those Latin hymns in which he once had so much loved to dwell—but was heard, with bis sinking voice, murmuring a child’s prayer which he had learned on bis mother’s knee.

Episcorat Bisgor —It is said that the firat effort to procure the consecration of an Epis- copal Bishop for New England was made in 1638, but the scheme was thwarted by the out- break of troubles in Scotland. In the 10- lution which soon followed the matter was ap- parently forgotten. Soon aft-r the restora- tion, however, in 1660, the subject of an Amer- ican Bishop was revived, and a patent was ac- tualy made out, constituting Dr Alexander Murphy. Bishop of Virginia, with a general charge over the provinces and colonies. This project was defeated by the accession to pow- er of the Cabot ministry. singular marriage was cele- brated in the chapelof the Hotel des Inva- lides—that of 2 Zouave, who lost both feet and hands in the siege of Sate with a young woman of some property. The couple were engaged to be married before the Zouave left for Sebastopol; and when he came back so gloriously mutilated the betrothed declared she would keep her word. The meee was at- tended by the governor of the hotel and his staff, by all theinvalids. After the cere- mony, the cross of the legion of honor was presented to the hero, in the name of the em- peror, and a valuable present to the bride in the name of the em s.
