MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT—-CAVING IN OF 4 SEWER --ONE MAN KILLED AND FOUR WOUNDED. Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock, one of those unfortu- | nate accidents which frequently occur through careless- ness or ignorance, took place in Medison street, between Rutgers and Pike. At the above mentioned hour, while five men, named John Murray, Michael Murray, Timothy Mathews, Thomas McKeon, and George Clark, were at work, excavating the street for the purpose of build- ing a sewer, the ground on the east side caved in and completely buriod those who were at work in the bottom of the pit. ‘Those who were engaged elsy- where, went immediately to work, aud managed in a short time te extricate those who were nearest the surface. Michael Murray was the first man taken out; bis head at the time being just above she earth he was easily extricated without sustaining any fatal injuries. thomas McKeon was then taken out in a very exhausted state ; he was very much bruised and cut by the planks falling on him. He was immediately taken to the New York Hospital, where he now lies in a critical condition. Timothy Mathews and George Clark were then extri- cated, the former sustaining but a fow slight bruises; but the latter did not fare quite so well, as he was hurt so badly that it was thought necessary to remove him to a welling house hard by. But the most melancholy part of the accident yet re mains to be told. After having got at the bodies of the above persons, John Murray was found to be missing, and | upon digging about three feet deeper into the earth, their #)2de8 encountered the dead body of the unfortunate man, who, on being raised to the level of the street, presented a shocking appearance, his head and face belug brwised d black and blue, and his legs and armi broken.

It was a lovely day, and every ‘one was well pleased and satisfied, and afew such drills willadd much to the efficiency of this flne command. Among the crowd of military men whe had assembled to witness the drill, we noticed Brigadier General Spicer, of the First Brigade; Colonel F.

Van Dyke, late of the Eighth Kegiment—all of whom were highly pleased A brigade drill being a matter of rare oecurrence, it was anticipated by many that this first attempt might be « failure; but its entire success shows the good effect of proper discipline, and must have been highly satisfactory to all concerned. ‘There was a recess of some two houxs for dinner, which was not the least interesting sight of the day. The men were provided with one day's rations, and such a jollifi- cation on the parade ground at Fast New York has sol dom been seen, After the drill, they were reviewed by Gen.

Alarmiog rumors, to the effect that the British government had ordered the Reet to pass the Derdanelles and commenco hostilities against Russia, and that the channel squadron was ordered to the North Sea, created a complete panic on the London Stock Exchange. Consols fell at one time as low as 902, whilst railway stocks ani shares of all kinds fell down with acrash. After the excite- ment attending these reports hud in a measure sub- sided, and proof was given of their incorrectuess, a partial rally took place, consols going up to 924; but the market was irregular. Money was very tight, The continental exchanges wera, however, rather more favorab'e, and the efflux of gold temporarily stopped. Arrivals of gold from Australia, to the value of about £685,000 sterling, had also taken place. The Australian advices received in London were of a dispiriting character, and fears were enter- tained of the standing of several honses engaged in that trade.

Intelligence, which for some few days had been of a graver character than the preceding, was received by telegraph on Monday. The English and French fieets had passed the straits of the Dardanelles, and had anchored in the sea of Marmora—the news amounting, in fact, to hostilit'es having commenced, originating, it appears, from the circumstance that two vessels of war—the one English and the other French—had proceeded to Constantinople, for the The excitement was great in the capital.

The Grand Duke of Tuscany displays his intoleranee by 1oiprisoning Miss Cunniaghem, a young Scotch lady of more integrity aud zeal wisdom, for distributing a copy of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progiees, translated into italian. ‘The Dachess, it appears, who was appealed to as one from whom this young lady could expect sympathy and assistance, de- clines to jntertere, and declares tne law musé take its course. The Ministeys of the nd Duchy have more sense with less authority, and suggest, with a view to ameliorating the fate of Miss Canningham, that the trial be hurried on, a verdict taken against the prisoner, and thea an appeal made to the cle- meney of the Grand Duke.

Exiraordipary swarms of small flieshave filled the air in several parts of Yorkshire during the last few days. At Harrowgate they formed a black cloud, which obscured the light for some hours. a similar visitation of lady-birds appeared. off the Kentish coast some few years ago, and finally settled on that well-known Cockney watering place.

The couatry, par tioularly in the viscipage of town, is overrun with snakes, toads and. frogs, seemingly indicative of a sharp winter, further borne out by fiocks of wild fowl wending their way, thus early, inland.

Re Madden, M. R. I. A. These yolames form an elabo- resting Mouograph, and are written with very intimate knowledge of all the details of the subject, including a large amount of matter trans {erred ‘rom the pen of the bold monk himself. To say nothing of bis martyrdom, Savonarola appears to have found the oppositions to his opinions in the re- jection of mammon by God's servants, coarse and pointed enough, even while he lived and ed. He could find a dead monkey placed upon his pulpit floor, or strike his fist during the sermon inte nails that had been iixed, point upwards, in.his pul- pit cushion! In these small and interesting matters, ag ip many larger, grave and still more interesting, Mr. Madden's book abounds. It is,the ie contribution yet offered to a subject of very s ‘zc historical im, ortance,and which, at particular pe- riods in the ebb and flow of religions thought and | feeling, (as at present, ) addresses itself vividly to the etndy and attention of all readers.
