A RUNAWAY CAR AND SMASH-UP.— Yesterday afternoon the horses attached to a@ car on the Washington and Georgetown railroad became frightened and ran up Bridge street, and came into collision with the wagon of Capt.

The horse is unfit for service, and it is feared that he is perma- nently disabled. With the exception of the tail-board being demolished, the wagon was uninjured, RIVER AND CANAL.—Arrived by the river, steamer Express. from Baltimore, co! signed to J.G. & J. M.
