New York, Wednesday, May 11, 1853. —<—$—— a The News. ‘We publish to-day the long butexceedingly im- portant verdiét of the Coroner’s Jury, on the bodies ‘of the forty-feur persons who were killed on last Fri- day at the drawbridge of Norwaik. The intense anxiety with which the public have watched the progress of ‘the investigation, and the general in- @ignation prevailing towards the company aad the two responsible officers employed on the ill- sted train, will im some degree be relieved and moderated by the knowledge that the jury have done their duty. The meeting which waskeld at Norwalk on Monday, was a faint expression of the feeling excited by the terrible disaster, and the opinion was gene- rally enter‘ained that the resolations were too tame | for the occasion. It is only proper to state, how- ever, that those by whom the: meeting was called did not like to take any step which might appear to anticipate the verdict of the jury. We give some additional particulars relative to the accident on the Paterson Railroed on Monday. With the exeeption of the announcement of the ‘total wreck of the screw steamship S. S. Lewis, and the awful explosion on board the steamer Jenny Lind, the week’s later advices from California re- ceived by zelezraph from New @rleans are of little importance. Twenty persons were killed and some orty others severely scalded by the disaster to the Jenny Ling. The Legislature hsd passed a bill for vthe.incorperation of railroad companies; also an act extending the provisions of the fugitive slave law for another year. The scheme for enlarging the city front of San Francisco was rejected by the Senate. ‘The accounts from the mines were still very favorable, ‘ut trade continued dull, and prices for some articles ‘had undergone a further decline. As a general thing, ‘however, the markets were in much the same condi- ‘tion as per: tie previous news brought by the El Dorado. The S. 8, Lewis was built in Philadelphia in 1851, as:the pioneer & a screw line of steamers between Boston and Liverpool. She made one voyage in the line, but not proving successful, was withdrawn, ‘aadwes purchased of Mesers. Harnden & Co. by Mesars. Coolidge 4. Osgood, of this city, to ran on the Pacific in the Vanderbilt line. She was a fine steamer, of 2,000 tens burthen. We have been un- able to ascertain whether she was insured or not. ‘The American screw steamships have been particu- larly anforsunate on the Pacific, the &. S. Lewis making the third of 2 large class that has met with disaster on+that const. The other two were the Pio- meer and the-City of Pittsburg. The former run ashore, and was abandoned by her crew ané passen- gers, and the latter was burned up in the harbor of Valparaiso. It is rather singular that all these ves- sels were originally built for the Liverpool trade— the Pioneer te ran from New York, the City of Pitts- burg from Philadelphia, (in connection with the City of Glasgow and the City of Manchester), and the S. 8. Lewis from Bosten, and all withdrawh as failarez, after making one voyage to Europe. Our special Washington correspondent writes ‘that Secretary Marcy was completely besieged yes ‘terday by a concourse of gentlemen who are ex- tremely anxious to serve their country in some foreign capacity, and who were desirous of having a word with the Premier before the appointments ‘were definitely fixed. Asa dernier resort the Secre- tary adopted Gen. Pierce’s plan, and avoided giving offence by @:rowing open the doors and receiving them all at once. There was no meeting of the cabinet, and consequently the foreign appointments are still in the mist. ‘The preparatiens for surveying the different rail- road routes to the Pacific are progressing satisfacto- Fily. Instructions were yesterday given to the sxcond party, which has been placed under the coms maid of Lieut. Williayoson. This party will explore the extreme Southern route through Walker's pasa, ‘and between the Pacific and the mouth of the Gila river. The Inspector’ #eneralship of the army has been given to Brevet Cv \@nel Manafleld,of the Engineer corps. ~~ General Pierce, it is sta*ed, deems it advisable to refrain from harshness, as fa,” ¢# possible, in the re- moval of the remnant of the Sem“aole Indians from Fierida. The survey of the public lanc'é in that State will be proceeded with, in order to cou “luce Billy Bowlegs and his adherents that it is essex‘tial for their welfare to quietly join their brethren west Qf fr the Mississippi. By surveying and selling the lands. and allowing the whites to settle upon and clear them, the Indians would soon be literally fenced out of the country. The supposed organ of the administration at Washington thinks the statements with regard to the encroachments of the French at the Sandwich Islands true in the principal pointa, but false so far fs concerns portions of the details. Tt declarés that our government will not under aay circumstances suffer the dominion of the islands to be transferred to any cther power. Sixty thousand dollars worth of property was destroyed by the burning of an extensive iron rolling mill and foundry, at Bridgewater, Mass., last Monday night. From Norfolk we learn that a number of houses bave been prostrated, and much other property destroyed, by a tornado in Princess Anne county, Va. Four persons were deprived of life by the terrible visitation, and several others were seriously injured.

Some of the abo- litionists present demurred that the bail should be placed at so low a figure, and proceeded to the office of Police Just'ce Bogart, before whom they entered a compliint charging the lady with kid- napping. Justice B. issued a warrant for Mrs. P., who was apprehended, and gave bail in the sum of three hundred dollars to answer hereafter. Ve elsewhere publish graphic reports of the in- teresting proceedings of the American and Foreign Christian Union, the New York Colonization So- ciety, the New York and American Sunday School Union, and the Five Points Sabbath School. The first named association occupied Metropolitan Hall, which was densely crowded. Several eloqnent ad- | dresses were delivered, in which the temporal power ofthe Pope was denounced as destructive to the | peace of kingdoms and to civil and religious liberty. The trial of Samuel J. Proper, for false pretences, commenced yesterday in the Court of Sessions, and | occupied nearly the whole day. Three witnesses for the presecution having been examined, the court atioomes until 10 o'clock this morning.

Californian Knterprise—Chinese Diffical tles— Hon. H. Marshall vs. Commodore Au’ ick. We have said it sgain and-sgain, the tide of enterprice is now steadily setting in ‘cowards our Pacific shores. Our Atlantic seaboard must summon all its#nergy to tle rescue, or the new States which shall be born of the dismember mentesf California and Oregon will overshadow New York. Massachusetta and Virginia, and the fame of ‘San Francisvo, and other ports to be:founded at some early day, will eclipse the present macts of Anrerican trade, Energy. perseveramee. and inteliect, have marked the «conduct of our fellow-eountrymen on the Pacifie from the ‘beginning. “Like ourselves, the off- apring of many nations, they have borrowed ‘irom each some valuable quality, and cemented the whole into an individual character peculiar to themezlves and seeond to none in the world. | Natnre’s share in their fortune has not been greater (ban their owa. With great advantages, | they have had to contend against obstacles of no common order. The very gold whick con. stituted their wealth rendered it an exceedingly arduous task to organise society on a solid basis. Crime seemed at one time domiciled in their midst. It was.no easy matter to govern the heterogeneous gathering of individuals who had ‘flocked to the Sacramento from all quarters of the globe. Disease steadily thinned the rauks of theminers. Vast conflagrations threatened to prevent any Californian city obtaining re- spectable dimensions. Butin spite of all—in the teeth ofa formidable rivalry with other and rieher gold fields—onr Pacific possessions have steadily advanced in numbers, in wealth, in cultivated land. in commerce, and in all the outward evidences of prosperity. -: By the last mail we received intelligence of @ California scheme which may well put our merchants to the blush. It has been resolved to send three clipper ships and @ bark,Jaden with passengers and merchandise of various descriptions, from San Francisco to Jeddo, the chief seaport ef the Japanese islands. These vessels are to sail on the Ist of June, so as to-arrive at Jeddo shortly after Commodore Perry. ‘The cargoes are owned by the passen- gers. each passenger (the skips can carry a thous- and) being allowed to take.one ton of freight. Considerable alarm appears to have prevailed among the projectors of the scheme lest they should be anticipated by vessels sailing from New York; but so far as we can learn the Cali- fornians would have been quite safe had they delayed their day tor sailing tél] a much later period. It is neediess to remark that the parties who embark in this scheme risk their money upon the chance of Commodore Perry’s success. If the Emperor deelines to acceed to the terms pro- posed, or resolutedy persists in his rule of exclu- sion. the Californians will be compelled* to run for Shanghae, or peddle their wares in some other Chinese or eastern port. In this event they would not be likely to make a fortune by the adventure. They are probably of the same mind as our- selves respecting the iasue of the Japanese ex- pedition. They have faith enough, first, in the common sense of his imperial majesty of Japan, and secondly, in Commodore Per- ry’s address and firmness, to regard the entry of Jeddo as already obtained, Still, notwithstanding the very strong reasons that have been urged in favor of this belief, it requires no ordinary enterprise to risk one’s funds in the operation. The Emperor of Japan may oppose a stolid obstinacy to the appeals of reason, and a formidable military array to argu- ments of a different character. Commodore Perry may fail to discharge his mission as ably as we expect of him. Bearing these chances in mind, we shall be compelled to admire the boldness which has inspired the “Japan and California Trading Company.” Should they succeed, the country will owe them a deep debt ton market was very heavy yesterday, only eight hundred bales having been sold during the forenoon. ‘The stock on hand in that city is reported to have run down to one hundred and ninety thousand bales. The pioneer of the new line of steamships between Liverpool and Montreal, called the Genova, has ar- rived at the latter place, after a passage of twenty days from the former. So far as news and rapid con- veyance is concerned, the Canadians will continue to rely upon the Collins and Cunard steamers, Quite an exciting scene occurred in the Superior Court in Chambers yesterday morning, in conse- quence of the serving of a writ of habeas corpus upon a Mrs. Porter, who has in her possession a little negro girl, whom certain abolitionists are fear- ful her mistress intends to convey to California sell into slavery. P. showed that the mother of the child was owned by her in Mobile, that upon removing to a free State she took the child with her, of gratitude. Richly recompensed for their individual riek by the returns they will receive ‘om their merchandise, they will still be our ereditors for the commercial information we shall 4erive from them on their return. We have, on a previous occasion, estimated our future trade with dan at a much larger figure than our present trade withChina. Should our conjecture prove correct, the shareholders in the new company will earn no small credit as ite plonéefa. In connection with this subject we will take leave to draw the attention of the President to the news from China, published in our paper on Sunday. Mr. Marshall, it seems, has not only failed, but has absolutely been reduced to straits such as an envoy of the United States has seldom if ever experienced. He attributes bis want of success to the uniform opposition he has encountered from Commodore Aulick. The latter, it would appear, refused to co-operate with Mr. Marshall, denied him the use of one of our ships of war, and contrived. by his want of courtesy. to impress upon the Chinese the idea that Mr. Marshall was not an envoy whom it was important to respect. We have, of course, no means of judging of the truth of these asser- tions, but we confess the narrative of our cor- respondent wears an exceedingly plausible as- pect, and we are inclined to place a very great degree of reliance in his statements. Should they be incorrect, we trust that no slight rea- eons will induce the President to continue Mr. Marshall at his post. The mission to China i at the present moment, of the highest impor- tance. Properly managed, it may lead to the opening of the great rivers of that immense country, and thus quintupling or decupling our export trade thither. When Mr. Marshall ar- rived at Canton the aspect of affairs was very bus giving it freedom, and that it had remained | favorable to his d signs, If the recent change isdue to any fault of his heshould be promptly recalled. If, on. the other hand. it should be proven that Cor amodore Aulick has treated our envoy with su ch discourtesy as to discredit him among the CI ,inese he should be taught a lesson that he will not forget. Totry Captain Walker by court m: artial for having carried the United States Commissioner from Whampoa or Hong Kong to Canton certainly seems a violent stretch of arbitrary power; and we are not sur- prised tAat after the prisoner's honorable ac- quittal public rumor should have attributed to the Commodore the intention of returning home., Whether in fault or not, he could | haré'fy do a better thing. We want informa- tic’ 1 on the subject of the recent squabbles, and Cc mmodore Aulick. from all we know of him, is far better fitted to act as privy councillor at ‘ fashington than as commander of our Pacific équadron at Hong Kong. Rartroap Casvanrres.—While the recent terrible destruction of life.on the New Haven Railroad is immediably attributable to negli- gence or disobedience of orders on the part of the engineer, the directors and managers of the line cannot be permitted to escape by throw- ing all the culpability on his shoulders. If he is guilty. as the proximate cause of the acci- dent, they are still more culpable in having, through their avarice in building the road. and through the want of efficient signal and police regulations on it, contributed, in the first in- stance, to the probability of such an occurrence as that-which the whole community has had to deplore. The signal provided at the Norwalk draw- bridge appears to have been inefficient, inas- muchas it cannot be seen in the immediate vicinity of the draw. It is first visible at some seven hundred yards distance from the depot; but even there a glimpse of it is only caught amid intervening trees and red chimney tops ealculated to deceive the eye as to the ball being hoisted. It is again seen amid like obstacles at about three hundred yards from the depot, when it is lost sight of until the de- pot is passed, and the curve half passed round, at which time the train is in dangerous prox- imity to ‘the bridge on a descending grade, The directorsjand managers. in failing to es- tablish a mere efficient mode ot waruing the engineers of the -draw being open, are liable to be regarded as the primary cause of this accident. But perhaps the point’on which the company is most open'to censure is that when the road was being originally constructed ; it was made to take the ‘form of a quarter-cirele curve be- tween the Norwalk depot. and.the fatal bridge, A straight line might have been made here in- stead at the extra outlay of three thousand dol. lars. And to this contemptible piece of parsi- mony on the-part of the company are the pub- lic indebted for the recent calamity, and for the danger whichis always to be apprehended in passing ‘this portion of the road. For this com- bination of avarice and carelessness we would hold the directors and managers of the New Haven Railroad answerable to the public. as the primary culprits in the matter of the Nor- walk maseacre. And railroad casualties are now se alarm- ingly on the increase that resolute end effi- cient measures on the part of our Legislatures and courts of law are imperatively reguired. Railroad employes.seem to be as utterly des- titate of any regard for the consequences of their carelessness as directors are for the secu- rity of the travelling public. and it needs eum- mary measures to bring all to a sense of their accountability. So completely reckless have officials become, that on the Paterson line, on Monday evening, a serious collision occurred in consequence of the arrangement of a new time table hy the manager of the road, which was communicated to one conductor, and not to the other! Offenees such as these deserve the severest punishment that the law can inflict upon the eulprits, and we hope te see socie- ty justified for the outrages thus committed against it. ‘Talk on ’Change. KCotton sold to the extent of 2,300 bales, without change in quotations. Coffee was rather more active, with sales of 2,000 bags Rio, at steady prices. Provisions and breadstuffs were without marked change. Among the trapsactions of the day were sales of 2,000 chests of black tea, for export to England, ‘The news by the Daniel Webster from the Pacific was referred to, The steamehip 8.8. Lewis, lost near San Francisco, was a fine, well built vessel. She was a pro peller, built in Philadelphia, in 1851. She was 220 feet long on deck, 31 feet beam, and 17 feet depth of hold. She stood on the books of the underwriters equal to about A 1. She was well built throughout. It was stated that she cost the company about $125,000, while some @stimated her value at a much higher sum. It was believed that she had but very little insurance on her in Wall street, though there might have been ample policies on her in other placer. A telegraph despatch was received yesterday from New Orleans, from a reliable source, stating that two steam- boats, with valuable cargoes, had been sunk in the upper Red river. They were the steamers Jim Turner and the Preston. They were bound up to the interior from New Orleans, and were heavily loaded with goods forwarded for up country dealers. It was believed that they had valuable assortments of goods on board intended for the Indian and Mexican trade, and that their loss would be severely felt. It was said that parcels of them were in- sured in Northern offices, though full perticulars had not reached New Orlesns at the date of the despatch. The point where the borts were sunk was above the great raft on Red river. We have to state that the account we previously gave regarding the pitehing of a locomotive through an open drawbridge into a river, on the New Jersey Transporta- tion Railrend. was substantially true. We find, on refer- ence to reliable documents, that the occurrence happened on the 2lset day of March, 1848, sbout five years one month and nineteen days since, and that the engine, ten- der, and baggage car, were submerged at the open draw- | bridge on the Passaic river, near Newark, while the remainder of the train was left standing on the bridge. Among the passengers in the cara was ¢x-President Van Buren, where baggage was submerged. The train, how- ever, was going quite slow. A hoisted flag was used for a signal, which, owing to s strong head wind, was blown into a line of the engixfeer’s observation, so that he did not ree it in time. They afterwards adopted a large ball, something like that used on the New Haven road. Our only error conristed in naming the wrong river, and the pericd within which it occurred. If Mr. Woodhull has been on the road six years this must have occurred during his connestion with it. We have great pleasure, however, in bearing testimony to the sble and efficient services of Mr. Woodhall, and to the general superior management of this excellent road, which is under one company, extending from New Jersey to New Brunswick. We have official documents to show that there have been fewer accidents on it, according to the number of passengers transported, th: aay o her road ever built. It is shown in the official returns that the number of through and way passengers for the past five years haye exceeded five millions of human bein, The official report, made to the State Legislature of New Jersey at its last session, showed that the number of through and ve passen,ers traueported over che roid in 1862 (exclusive of commuters and free passengers. ) amovnted to 1,492,670, The whole number of persons in jured by the road, fn the convey auoe of this vast number of persons, was only twenty-seven—or one in sixty thou: sand.
