Gelphia passenger trains, on the Camdea and Amboy wailroad, last Tuesday evenipg: Accounts are also given of two accidents on the New Haven railroad, by one of which the engineer was killed and afire- man seriously injured, and by the other the Rev. Mr, Woelsey was crippled for life. We have elsewhere expressed our views with regard to these horrible casualties, which have of late become so frequent as %o incline nervous passengers, upon the least symp- ‘toma of alarm, to follow the suicidal example of Mr. Btetson, who lost his life by attempting to jamp from the window of a car while the train was under headway, onthe Hackensack bridge, last Monday. Two hundred and four persons are reported to have been swept off by yellow fever in New Orleans, en Sunday last. The despatches from our special correspondents at Washington cortain a variety of important and in- teresting intelligence. It is announced that official information was yesterday presented to the Cabinet, with regard to the seizure of Koszta, at Smyrna, by the Austrian naval commander. This information, % is gratifying to learn, fully approves the course pursued by Captain Ingraham, in every particular. The members of the Cabinet are unanimously deter- mined to ratify the conduct of Captain Ingraham, and, if necessary, will not hesitate to issue another edition of the American opinions expressed in the cele- Drated letter of the late Secretary Webster to Cheva- Mer Hulsemann. Hon. Robert J. Walker, says our correspondent, may yet be able to proceed to China in the iron steamer Allegany, which will be ready for service in ; bout two weeks. Mr. Belmont yesterday received hile instructions with regard to the Hague Charge- abip, and will leave in the Arctic next Saturday week. The attention of those who are contemplat- ing emigrating to the western territories is directed to what is said relative to trespassing upon lands stil) held by the Indians. From Albany we learn that the hunkers had every thing their own way in the Democratic Coun- il of Young Men which met in the Senate Chamber yesterday. As the movements of the New York jicians are attracting considerable attention throughout the country at the present time, we hhave to-day cevoted an article to the special elucida- tion"of the subject, to which, as well as to the letter fom cur Albany correspondent, reference is made for detailed particulars. By the arrival of the Illinois at this port yester- day morning, we received our usual files, and the letters of our regular correspondents, from the West Indies, South America, Central America, and the Sandwich Islands. We are, therefore, enabled to preseng our readers with a detailed account of the position of affairs, both political, executive, finan- ial, military, and commercial, in Jamaica, New Granada, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Honolulu, &., &c., down to the latest moment. The news is arranged in order of date, and will be found most interesting. The crisis between the Legislative and Executive government of Jamaica still continued. Sir Charles Grey had been recalled, and Mr. Henry Barkly, late Governor of British Guiana, had been appointed to the governorship of the island. Many reforms were expected from his administration. The Kingston journals hold out the most kind invitations to our free colored population to emigrate there. The Panama journals are taken up with a conside- ration of the railway progress, mining speculations, and trade returns, diversified with some editorial lite- vary squabbles. We learn from South America of continued diffe- rences and impending war between the government, @ Bolivia and Peru. The port of Cobija was occu- piled by the forces of the Peruvian squadron, and the “gity of Cumana, Venezuela, had been destroyed by anfearthquake, and nearly a thousand persons were baried in the ruins. Neither the shipping nor trad ing interests had suffered much in consequence of ‘the threatening aspect of things. Our correspondence from the Sandwich Islands is Satisfactory. The missionary cause was most suc- cessful. A very excellent review of the past, pre- sent, and probable future state of Honolulu, is given by our correspondent. The journals complain of the want of attention which sick American cailors receive at the hands of our representatives there. The foun- dation of a United States marine hospital had been laid. The last market prices, freights, and shipping news from each point are given, under their proper heads, in this paper. By the arrival in this port, for repairs, of the steamer Isabel, from Havana, we are in possession of files of journals from that city up to the 4th of Angustt They are, however, devoid of the slightest interest, containing not a word of news of any impor- tance from either Cunay Mexico, or any of the Cen- tral or South American republics. We received yestertay two more exceedingly im- portant documents from St. Domiago, which we have had translated in extenso, and place before oar readers this morning. They are from the pen of Santana—the President-Liberator—and judging ~ from their tone and tenor, they seem to justify the sanguine hopes for good, which the citizens of the yepublic think will flow from his justice, integrity, and impartiality in the administration of public affairs. Gane is a decree banishing from the territory of Bt. Domingo an immigrant y:riest-curate who had been convicted of the most scandalcus outrages upon decency and virtre. The feeling maxwer in which the President refers to the case, with hia cogent seasons for the non-publication of the sestimony, Prepare an ordinance districting the city into sixty Council districts, in compliance with the provisions of the amended charter, was submitted to the Board of Aldermen last evening, and without any debate whatever unanimously adopted. The report of this committee will be found in fall in another celumn. A resolution was adopted, duly authorizing the City Inspector to have three sunken lots filled up, that were presented by the Grand Jury as nuisances, and Tikely to create disease among the inhabitants of the city. After transacting an unusual amount of routine business, the board adjourned until the first Monday in September next. with three days’ later advices from Europe. ‘Whig Movements—What will the Whigs of movements of the scattered fragments of the late whig party, North, South, East and West, for some mnths past, with a view of ascer- tainizg the prospects fora future reorganiza- tionof the party. But thus far there are no satisfactory symptoms of crystalization. Here and there the particles amalgamate ; but the general mass is still inchaos, The great lights of the party have been extinguished; the great | measures of the party have been condemned The report of the special committee appointed to The Canard steamship Africa is now about due, New York Dot ‘We have ben watching with interest the and seperseded, and have become “ obsolete ideas;” the party itself, defeated by the terri- ble democracy, has been substantially dis- solved by its intestine convulsions, There can be no national reorganization shert of a national convention; and as yet there have been no steps taken in this direction; bat, allin disorder, and without any definite purpose, policy. prospect in view, the person- nel of the late whig party are awaiting the dispensations of Providence. They are down—they are bankrupt. broken up, root and branch, used up, done for, and laid out; and yet the more hopeful among them, in some cases comprising whole detachments, keep up the show of an organized resistance, from the mere prestige of discipline; and all of them, like the hopeful Micawber fare evidently impr)sse@ with an indefinite but pleasing expectation that “something may turn up.” Or, like the wretched invalids around the miraculous pool of Siloam, they are waiting for the waters to be troubled. so that they may tumble in and be restored again to health and activity. But the policy of the believing Micawber ap- pears to have been most generally adopted by the disbanded whigs— they are waiting for something to turn up. It is evident that at the late election in Virginia they only made a me- chanical resistance, almost unavoidable from the force of habit—that they expected nothing. and were not disappointed. In Kentucky and Tennessee they have proved their faith ina resurrection, rather than their adhesion to the ruins of the old whig platform. In most other States) their warfare has deterio- rated from the regular movements of a consolidated army, to the paltry annoyances of guerrilla fighting, like those operations of the Mexicans along the valley of the Rio Grande, after the batile of Buena Vista. But they are watching the administration and the “family jars” of the re-united democracy over the spoils, with the ultimate hope of turning them to practical advantage. Powerless to re- sist the policy of General Pierce, in the cabinet or in Congress, they seem to be waiting, like the Russians for winter, to make an opening into the camp of the enemy, now in occupation ofthe Kremlin. But as to what the whigs ex- pect to do in contemplation of a national re- organization, they are utterly in the dark. They are waiting for “‘ something to turn up.” In Georgia, however, they have gone to work independently, and have adopted the most avail- able and expedient platform for immediate ac- tion or prospective service—that ot the Union party, of which Mr. Webster was the candidate for the Presidency. If they are successful, their experiment may lead to important con- sequences, in a wide extension of their orga- nization; if unsuccessful, the Union party of Georgia will probably sink beyond the reach even of the Castle Garden Union Safety Committee. The result of the approaching election in Georgia, in any event, will be of some practical importance to the future move- ments, not only of the whigs, but of the over- whelming, cumbrous, and discordant adminis- tration party. Failing in Georgia, however. there is still a hope for the whigs in the policy lately adopted by their brethren of the enterprising State of California, where men of all parties are apt to direct their line of action to the practical busi- ness immediately before them. Speaking of the California whigs, the New York Trijune is pleased to submit the following substantial in- structions to the whigs of New York :— A Whig State Convention assembled last month in California to decide on a course to be pursued with reference to the approaching State election. That convention deliberated and acted as became in- telligent patriots. Though whigs in principle, the did not desire to embarrass by factious and tuti opposition the men to whom the people have seen fit to entrust the federal administration. They saw no propriety in attempting to galvanize dead issues, or refight old battles, merely because they had re- suited disastrously. They wisely decided to defer national politics to a more fitting season, and go to the people on a single issue of State reform—the re: duction of exorbitant salaries, the retranchment of inordinate expenditures, and the restoration of the finances of that scandalously plundered and deeply involved State to a condition of solvency and thrift. “ State Reform’’—* go to the people on the single issue of State reform!” ‘No propricty in attempting to galvanize dead issues!” Mark that—none. No,“re-fighting of old battles!” Think of that—turn it over, put it in your pipes, ye whigs of New York, and smoke it. The whig party is gone. hook and line—its is- sues are swamped. Why revive them, except the tariff question? Why not let them pass? What's the use of wrangling over the fugitive slave law? Let every man have his conscience, think and act as he pleases on that subject. See how that compromise has compromised General Pierce, and crippled and demoralized the de- mocrats of New York. Let us drop the negro question; let us all—Fillmore men, Webster men, and Scott men—unite upon State reform and let Pierce’s administration have as much rope as they want. Why can’t we reorganize the whig party in New York on the practical issues of State reform? Such, we take it, is the true interpretation of the plan of Seward and company. Will this policy be adopted? Donbtful. Will the whigs of New York adopt any specific policy of reorganization? Doubtful. They must first calla State convention before they can do anything. Our State election comes off in November; and there are yet no definite sighs diat the whigs will teke the field, We shall probably hbaye scrub race among the democrats; but what will the whigs of New York do? Why should they not rally to the rescue of the commonwealth with the ery of ‘State Reform ?” Why not leave the administration to the hard shells? We don’t know. We can only reiterate the question, “What will the whigs of New York do?” and: wait in impatience for “something to tur, up.” Micawber is not dead yet. No! More Rartroap Accipents.—Are we never to be done with the recital of railror.d acci- dents and the penning of editorial art?cles de- uunciatory of the wretched, insuffig ent, care- less management of the road? Is no day to pass without seeing registered in our columns the details of a calamity on soma one or other of the various lines of railroad throughout the country, by which one, a d¢,zen, a score, or perhaps a hecatomb of victimy; have been sacri- ficed? It would really seem as if that time would never arrive when ae public is to be spared the infliction of such appalling#daily intelligence. We have progressed but one- third through this month of August. and yet we could net, at this moment, reckon from memory the number of casualties which have occurred en our lines of travel; and the task of recapitulating them if we did. would be at nce sickening and unnecessary. As uewal, our o¢iums to-day are by no means exempt'from this’species of news. They chron- icle the details #7 the collision which occurred on the Camden and Amboy Railroad, on Tues- day,*which restited in the instantaneous death of four individuals ; and they also give the par- ticulars of anether accident which occurred the same evening on the New Haven line, by which the engineer lost his life, and one of the firemen was grievously if not fatally injured. In these, #3 in almost every instance, the cause is attri- butable either to the wretchedly deficient man- agement of the roads, the parsimony of the directors in neglecting to provide efficient police and other regulations, or the recklessness of those in charge of the trains. But it is little mat- ter to the public which of those causes operate, or whether the casualties which come so often to shock their sensibilities are owing to a combination of them all. The dreadful conse- quences are before them, and might well have the effect of deterring ‘the stoutest-hearted from undertaking a journey, where danger im_ pends at every curve, drawbridge, and cutting were it not that witha great portion of the community travel is an absolute necessity. The two casualties noticed in our columns this morning have neither of them the faintest shadow of extenuation. That on the Camden and Amboy Railroad stands out pre-eminentiy the work of the most uiter recklessness, com- bined with the grossest stupidity. The regular afternoon train of cars from Amboy to Phila- delphia had not yet passed the station where the train coming from the opposite direction was to have awaited itas usual. Tt was to be expected momently; but, nevertheless, the con- ductor, with a blindness or reeklessness hard to be accounted for, allowed or ordered the en- gineer to drive on amd court a collision with this rapidly moving train, which was not long in taking fatal effect. The accident onthe New Haven line was simply attributable to the nig- gardliness of the company, in failing to main- tain a proper police along the line, as is done on the English railroads. and to their disregard ot conseguences, in not having removed a dange- rous piece of rock, loose, and at any moment liable to fall on the track, as it did at last. We have not been wanting in firmness in the denunciation of those railroad companies who so trifle with the lives of thousands. Time and again we have expended our well-grounded censures upon them; but the seed fell upon hard and stony soil. It would seem that rail- road directors are as impervious to sensations of shame as they are regardless oftheir weighty responsibilities to the public. Wehave now no hope of effecting any good by an appeal to any interests save only those of a pecuniary and personal character. But we feel it incumbent on us, in view of those terrible daily-repeated scenes of railroad manslaughter, to register our heartfelt condemnation of the miserable parsi- mony, the wretchedly deficient arrangements. and the unscrupulous recklessness whieh make such a dreadful annual carnage of our fellow- citizens, Hoy. Henry Jounson anp THs Harnaway Binte Srortation—We give a place, with pleasure, to the following note from Hon. H. Johnson. of Louisiana, in reference to the ex- tract which we lately published from an Eng- lish paper. charging him with the mutilation of the Ann Hathaway family Bible at Stratford- upon-Avon :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE LEAMINGTON COURIER. New York, August 9, 1853. My attention having been just called toa publi- cation in the New York Hexaxp, purporting to have been taken from your paper, (without date.) stating that “‘a me@® scandalous act was perpe- trated at Stratford-upon-Avon, in the house where Shakspearé wooed and won Ann Hathaway, on the 5th of July last, by abstracting a portion of the fly leaf ofan old family Bible, and that the act was committed by three strangers—a gentleman and two ladiee—who had on that day visited the dwelling, and that on the visiter’s book the names of the last signatures were as follows :—H. Johnson, late Go- vernor of Louisiana, U.S. A,, and Miss Thompson’ —I consider it my duty to notice that publication. It is true that I visited the house referred to, accom- panied by my wife, and our niece, Miss Thompson, early in July last, and that my niece entered our names on the book as stated; but itis utterly ua- trne that the leaf of the Bible was torn and ab stracted Ly either of the party. To those who know us, sucha denial is totally unnecessary; but the charge having been made in England, I deem it properto give it an unquafified contradiction, and to request that, as an act of jus tice, you will be pleased to insert this communica- tion in your paper. H. Jomnson. We ehall transmit a copy of this paper to the Leamington Spa Courter, and doubt not that uponits reception that journal will make the proper atonement for the original sus- picions cast upon our distinguished country- man in this little affair. Our object in re- publishing the offensive extract was to draw the attention of Mr. Johnson to it. with the full expectation that in behalf of himself and the estimable ladies in his charge, he would ro- turn a satisfactory reply. Harp Sueris anp Sort Sa Some days since we adverted to the fact of a certain cor- respondence having taken place between the Hon. John Wheeler, Member of Congress, ana Gen. Thomas, the advocate to the Commission to London. We then called apon the Washing- ton Union to procure the documents, or upon Gen, Thomas to send them to us. We have not yet heard from either party. We shall wait but a day or two longer, and then we shall call upon the Hon. Jom Wheeler, He is always on har SPA ‘There wes “.o marked changein produce.

":nere was s disposition te await the reseipt of the S'trica’s news, now due. +. private telegraphic despatch was received by & Youse in this city, from Quebec, yesterday, announcing the loss ef the fine new ship Melbourne, recently built im Canada at anexpense of some $50,000 or $60,000. She had sailed from Quebes for Liverpool, and was lost om the Anticasti, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, It was seid that a eonsiderable portion of the vessel was im sured in Wall street. It was mot doubted but that the yellow fever raged with great severity in New Orleans, yet some were dis posed to think, badas it was, that the telegraphicac counts were exaggerated, at least it was trusted that such might be the case. 4 wumber of merchants were im faver ef meking the Exebange hour from 3 to 4P.

M., and it was not generaily convenient for mershants to sttend Change until their Dank business had been attéaded to, or not before 3 o'elock P.M, Indeed, before 3 o’chok, searcely a man was to be found on ’Change, and, as they were “rung” ef at 3% o’elock P. M., only thirty minutes were allowed them to complete andelose up their business for the day, which was entirely too limited period. The merebants, however, had the means of redress in their own bands, and if a majority of the subscribers wished the thue ebanged, the President of the Exchange Com- pany would ne doubt accommodate them. The continued frequency of railroad accidents was re- ferred to, The one which had occurred om the Oumdéen aud Amboy Raikoad was no lees the result of gross earelereness than the melancholy affeir at Norwalk. No system of telegraphs or signals could secure a road against carelesrness. Without rigid supervision, by qual- ified superintendents, mo proper protection couki be af- forded, Ona certain well-managed road, a conductor ence asked the superintendent how long he should wait ata turnont for a train behind him. “Twenty-four hours,” said the superintendent, “or longer, unless the couse of the delay can be sooner ascertained.”’ This was the right sort of a man, Telegraph wires afforded important means of protection against accidents, but evem these were liable to get out of order. an¢ perhaps might fail at the moment when their aid was most needed. The Erie, with some other roade, used the telegraph;and the New Jersey Centzal Railroad, with some others, were putting up wires. This was ull very well, yet nothing could supersede the necos- sity of double tracks, and, above all, able, watchful, vigorour, and thorough management. Men were too often selected as superintendents of railroads without proper regard for their fitness—the choice being decided by family, or recret society, or pelitical, or stock jobbing in- fluence. Hence the constant mishaps from bad mauage- ment. It was believed that the evil was growing, and that nothing short of some revere examples made of guilly employes, and ef the pockets of directors and stoek hold- ers, backed up the enactment of better laws, would reach the evil.

The frst gun came from Chambers street, and announced that Burton’s was in battle array For rome years Burton’s has been a favorite place of rerort.and the demonstration of last evening proved that hir popularity was by no means diminished. Notwith- standing the exeessive heat of the weather—(the ther mometer marking 86 deg. Fahrenheit)—the house was £0 crowded that we could not find a seat’a fer minutes previone to the rising of the curtain. The many pret- y women in the house, and their distingud toitettes, bowed that Burton end the Lon ton axe on the best of terme. The front of the house has been altered from itr old appearance, and for the better. The upper tier of boxes have been furnished uniformly with those below, aud the price in also the same Filled as the houses was last night, the view of theaudience is vary fine. The stage can be seem with equal fecility in the second tier. The per- formaxec last night was very excellent. It commenced with a xew farce, ‘A Capital Mateh,”’ in which the prin- pal character, ‘Mr. Singleton,’ was sustained by Mr. G Holland. He was warmly reevived—speaking in both senses of the term. The next piece was a very funny affair— The Duel in the Dark,” in which Mr. Burton played “Mr. Gregory Greenfiach,” 2 cockney who is followed from London to Paris by hie wife, (Miss Raymond) who wakes Jove to him in disguise, in order to teat his Séelity. It is almost needless to say that Burton played this character im +o unctuously hutaorons a style that the people laughed without cesation. The whole performance was got up in the ususl Burton style, and het is synonymous with excellence. Burton is undoubt edly the best comedian in the United States, and bis ma- uegerial ability is by no means smaller thaa his taleat asanactor. After the play. he wes e:lied before the curtain; and after thanking the audience for their re- ception, he seid that he had effected an engagement with the Tung book-tong dramatic company, aud that they would eppear in a divértieement next Monday eveniog, as ho felt it his duty to do all in bis power to alleviate the distress of the Chinese artists. The announcement was heartily applauded Mz. George Holland was ulvo called out. The general impression seemed t) be that Burton's company is @ very good one; the orchestra cannot be ex celled, and the whole establishment is !n first rate order from top to bottom. If you desire to ree fine acting go to Burton’s, and you will not repent having done +0.

The sickness at New Orleans is a premonitory wara- ing with what rapidity an epidemic can spread, and how ditastrous are its consequences. At so advanced a period nthe sumwer in our Northerneclimate, there cannot, however, be much danger of such a calamity in our city; for towards the end of the month we may expect cool weather, at least before suprise, and after sunset. Wheo ever the summer may be said to have terminated, it will ‘be regarded as one of the most singular seasons that have been known fora long time, its characteristics having been rather those ot a tropical region than of one situated in the temperate zone. Tne tremendous storms of wind, resem bling burricanes, the vy rains, accompanied with thua- der and lightning, and the changeable variations of the temperature with whish we bave been visited du-ing the summer, have always been conridered_as pecullar to coun- tries lyirg within the tropics, where ruch scourges are often deemed meceseary for the gexeral health. Here their effects have Leen most disastrous, as mentioned at the time, houses having been blown down ard lives lost, aa well as heavy inundations having occurred in many arts of the country, by which » vast amount of damage jar been done. It is a striking coincidence that the same complaints of the changeavieness of the weather have been made in Europe, Some time ago there was an ac- count in the French papers of the sufferings of a regi- ment of soldiers while on their march on the northern frontiers, near to Belgium, from the hot weather, seve: ral of them baving been sun strusk, and others obliged to be taken to the hospital ina dangerous condition. Lately complaints have been made from the same quar- ter of tne exces: ively wet and cold weather that has pre- Gominated in Paris, a locality in which, from its position, the year, and a warm, equable temperature. in the Lighth district, which was found to proceed fron the houre Ni corner of ey street, the ground floor of which is oc clothing.

Mr. Robert Dwyer read a report of the present condition of the society. The re- port staied that, though not yet twelve months in exis- tevee, the society numbered four hundred members, and -had $500 in bak; that very fe* had claimed sick bene- fits, as the members seemed to look on the fund more as members were generally in comfortable circumstances, #0 as not to requize ald in cages of ordinary illness. two cases $50 to work again. The report stated that the increased rate of wages bad been given in almost every imstauce, and would have been given in eli cases, but that some persons without licenses, and others who bad obiained licenses fraudulently, in the vame of other persons, who were citizens, they not being citizens themrelves, continued to work under rate. The report recommended that soue steps should be taken to put ap end to these practices, which militated against the well being of the society, and called on ail licenred cartmen in the city te join, both for their individual benefit and for the good of the body to which they belonged. A comwmitiee was then appointed to watch a) violations of the law in these res- pects, and to report in every instenve to ths Corporation Atto ney and the Mayor; after which the meeting ad- jourzed.
