8 TROGOBLE AT QUARANTINE. Budden Departare of the Crescent City— Attempt to Capture her a Failure. Aawas expected by the Health Commissioners, the @ieamship Crescent City, which was under a thirty days’ quarantine, put out to sea Monday afternoon, in defiance of all law, and in despite of the re-ixtance olleres by Dr. ‘Thompson, the Health (lice Doctor left this city on Monday afternoon, sbeut 1 o'clock, proceeded to Statem Island and immediately boarded the Crescent City. Be found that Captain MoGow#n was absent, but that the pilot was already in attendance, .and to hin (the pilot) be caplained that the vessel was under @ strict quaran- tine, and would not be allowed to return to New Orleans cr Havana until the ex; iration of the thirty days? deten- tioa. Healso gave orders that no one shoul be allowed either to leave or board her without special permission from himself (@he Health Officer) or his deputy, ‘Two of- ficers, who had been de*patched trom the city by the Mayor tor that purpose, were left in charge of the vessel, to -ee that everything was carried out in accordance with Ds. Thompson’s orders, using the absence of the latter at dinner, it seems that two tugs from the foot of Warren atceet—one with the passengers and the other with the fatp's freight—came alongside the Crescent City, aad discharged their contents upon the deck 0° the steamship, in spite of the two officers Having been informed of what was going on ébe Health Officer immediately few to scene of action, leaving a comfortable and tempting dinnerdchind him, again boarded the veesel, rea’ the law for the passengers sat officers, and insisted that thoy shouli not leave Quarsatine. The passengers, upon learning for the first time that the Crescent City had iad many cases of yel- low ‘ever on board only a few days previous, and that she wee under quarantine at the time, loudly expressed {heir indignation at the shameful and outrageous man- ner ia which they had been treated by the company, and demanded that their baggage and themaelyes should be tranaporied to shore. As this would not answer the pur- Pests of the company, a compliance with their reasona- bir riquest, was refused, and orders given to get the wessel under weigh. Dr. Thompson protested and threatened, the passengers stormed and entrcated, but slitonouse. Captain McGowan was determined to be of, and so there was no remedy but downright rovistanee, and the crew were too strong and nu- rous for the passengers, Dr, Thompeon and his two officers left the vessel, therefore, and immediately made for the United States sloop-of- war Cyane, to demand assistance in the enforce- mest of the Quarantine law After boarling ensued between commander of the the sloop a brief te. Thompson and Cxpt. Wilson, Crane who instantly had several stua!l boats lowered, end -upplied with the sinews of war. with the intention of Saying siege to the Crescent City and compelling her coatumacious officers t» surrender at discretion. Capt. ‘owan was wide awake, however, and determined to trate the kind inventions of the opposing fleet. No saer did Le percieve the operations going on oa board the vone than he hurried up matters with a little more des- pa ch, and in a twinkling had every thing ready to start. » army of Dr. Thompson had hardly set out upon their teldgerent exycdi(ion when the wheels of the Creacent City were seen te move. All the strength and muscle of the ‘hompeonians were put into requisition to overtake the sicamebip. Old Neptune had not ordained, however, that Ubix should buppen. and it soon became but too ap- parent that the Crescent City was rapidly vanishing, and becoming smaller and smaller aa she receded from Quar- gating, The chase was, therefore. very soon given over, sach to the dissppointment of the gallant hands of the Crane, who expected to haves nice time with those of the Crescent City. Nothing can be done, consequently, watt the return of the pilot cr the steamehip itself. The Health Commissioners will be on the lookout for the for- mer, and as soon a6 Le makes his appearance cause hia sonnediate arroat. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. ‘Tae Crescent City, which arrived at this port from New Orieans and Havana, having on board one or two cases of voliow fever, and which was quarantined for thirty in consequence thereof, left at 4 o'clock on Monday, in violation of the ordre of the Board of Health, We stated yesterday that she had come up to her wharf and taken ther cargo on board. and that it was suspected she would >i. on the first favorable opportunity; but as she had eon taken back to Quarantine and placed in charge of an waicer, it was not supposed that she would attempt under oh clircuthatances to make her escape. However, it has turned out that she has not oniy done ao, but that resis- fence was made to the officers im the discharge of their Bary, ‘The Health Ofticer, accompanied by a deputy, went on board about two o'clock on Montay, and informed the puot that he mast not attempt to leave. he Health Officer thon came on shore, placing his deputy in charge, vith instructions not to allow any persons io go to or f-om tae vessel.

Tye officer then — informed Lim and the pilot that if they atterapted to put to sca they would incur # heavy penuliy. At this juncture the itealth Officer arrived, and ordered his rien wy arrest tae cay which they proceeded to do, when they were vanes the then aitempted to remove iia by fores, aadte place in their boat with the intention of bring. tog him up to the city, when they were surrounded by tne officers, crew and passengers, who prevented them f-om making the arrest. In this emergensy, finding ibey were unable to execute the i La force, they got into their boat and sloop of war Cyane, the commander of which they informed of the proo on the steamer, and requesied his assistance. Contain Wilson immediately ordered one of his boats to be folly manned and armed, and despatched her to tue Crescent City, Captain MoCowan, however, was too quick for th and before they arrived within ni hot of his vesse! was underway towards tho Kare ows, The Health Officer wisely concluded tuat ho weaid not attempt tofoliow her, but that he would owaither return before be should make another eifort to eorest her captain. ‘The following is the statement of Mr. Bennett, one of te officers placed on board the Crescent City, which, it vu b@ seen, confirms the particulars given above :— STATEMENT OF MR.

We need not say that the insinuation thus conveyed against the health of our city is tule and slanderous; that the prover- Dial good healih of Baltimore has been maintained with more than usual regularity during the present season, and that, though with a Christian philanthropy which not even ibis unneighborly action of New York cau make ua regret, we have reiused to cut ourselves off from the suffers of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and abandon them to starvation and despair; that yet the communica- tion has becn surrounded by all the precautions that were essential to preserve the health of the city from peril. Whatever danger has belonged to our connection with Norfolk, bas been shared by Philadeiphia and New York, sfecied cities have sickened and died well in New York and Vhiladelphia as in Baltimore, but neither in those cities nor in our own has the disease with which they were infected shown any disposition to attack those who had not been exposed to the malaria which generated it, New York, with its filthy streets, foul atmosphere and crowded population is ree exposed in s inuch great- er degree to the dangers of infection than either Bulti- more or Vhiladelphia, but the peril is not to be ayeided by quarantining vessels from Baltimore, What can have led the New York Board of Health to the adoption of so unjust and unnecessary a measure it is diflen}t to determine, prised that in the absence of any proper one should be attributed. We are loth, howey- er. to believe that the authorities could haye lent them- elves to so unworthy a subterfuge as in an endeavor jure the trade of Hultimore by giving countenance in this indireet way to the belief that our ciiy is in a con- dition dangerous to the health of its ow veus, and to wl by strangers from abroad.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO THE | JOINT BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE DELAWARE | AND RARITAN CANAL AND THK CAMDBN AND AM~ BOY RAILROAD AND TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES. BoRDENTOWN, Sept. 10, 1855. Gexruace:—On the morning of the 20th of August the | ten o’c ock train from Philadelphia for New York left, a8 usual, the depot at Camden, in charge of Isaac Van Nos- trend, one of the most experienced and best conductors in the emplvy of the railroad company. Mr. Van Horn, the agent of the company, whore duty it is to see that all is hight betore the train starts from Camden, exasined the bell-rope of the ten o'clock train on the morning of | the {th August, a short time previous to its depsrture | from Camden, and found it right, | . Ibe train immodiately thereafter proceeded to Burling- ton, » here it arrives safely and in tims, The 8 o’clook train fiom New York, which was then due at Burliugton, had not mace its appearance, having arrived at New Brup wick behind time. The regulation time of the | Viladelphin train at Bu ington having expired, and the conducia: having ascertained by telegraph that the New York train had lofi Bordentown at 10:56 o'clock, he pro- ceeded with the ten o'clock train, as he had doo» on all | pevicus similar occasions, under the assurance that there was no hazard of coltision, because the track was for the moat part level and straight, and both trains were koown by their respective conductors to be on the track und approaching each other, ‘there was no collision ‘the result proved that the regulation of the company was a suluta'y one, enabling the conductor to expedite | bis train without the leq-t danger of collision. | A+ wnticipated, the trains came in sight of each other wiere the Wack was straight, and, as usual, they both ; baited; and the Fhiladelphia’ train, blowing its whistle, } commenced backing at about the rate of fifteen miles per | heur, for the neare-t turnout, whilst all the employés of the tain were keeping a vigilant look out for obstruc- tiens cn the road, and attending to the brakes, | the whirtle was repeatedly biown, and the employés | eteadily engaged watehing the track, on which cows bad | been reen aa the train was passing up, until the ercss roud where the collision took place was reached; when of a sudden a pair of horsce attached toa carriage were ven at the rate of eight or ten miles an hour on the tuuck sonear the train as to render xt impossible to | check its rpecd, or in any way to prevent the melancholy collision, the fatal resul’s of which ace already known to | From the outside line ct the ral'road' to the car | which struck the horses is twenty-nine fect, which, at the syeed of fen miles an hour, would require less thaa ' two seconds to pass. How impossible, therefore, is it to | devise means for the protection of railroad trains from so j sudden and unforseen obstructions. The safety of the } trains can best be secured by requiring all perdons, be- ) fore crossing a reilroud, te stop and ascertain whether the road ix clear. ‘ ‘The 20th of August was a still day; there was but little und the whistles of both tras, whien were blow- ing us they raw euch other, must have been audible ull along the read on which ‘this carriage was travelling from the river about # mile to the crossing. Besides the repeated olowing of whistles as sworn to by some of our | most respected citizens, trom the time the up train first ed the cross road until its return, and the fatal col- ivion occurred, there was at the crossing ® bonrd, with the inser iption, ‘Look out for the locomotive "* ig ‘The enthe truth of the foregoing narrative is, we think, fully, completely and satisfactorily proved, by the testi” mony ef fourteen reliable men, taken before the Coroner's jury; and it does appear to your commiltee that in all w | par ars the law ofthe State and the regulations of the compony were fully complied with’ by these agents and employes having charge of the trains on the of August.

But | true, fay that the engineer did no’ | and the law respecting blowing the | they must bave rejected the positive testimony of | thefollowing witnesses :—Samuel * ‘ker, of Trenton; | James Garwood, Dean Swift Read, Charles Aloott, Henry Kenner, John R.

The proper lockout on the part of the brakemen, concuctor and engineer was observed; the apeed was and lawful: the warning whistle was sounded; and Lue diligence, vigilance and precaution were studious ly and scrupulcusly practised. The train had the right to the track, and the engineer and brakemen were on the lock out along the Ime of the track, There their atten- tion was required and was given They were not bound to Icok to the right or to the left, at a distance from the track, nor is it compatible with eafety, where there are usually so many cattle onor near the road, that their at- tention should thus be diverted. Their business ix to concentrate their vigilance on the track. But i¢ is quite evident that the scope of their vision, while thus direct- 6, would take in sufficient space to cover all objects within dangerous proximity to the track, except in just such a case ns t! ¢ one now under consideration of head- long, impetuous, reckless velvcity, precipitating an ob- struction far beyond the scope of their vision, immedi- ately in front of the train. Fiom such 2 case of intruding obstruction, unless ap- prised beforehand of the probability of its occurrence, it seems hardly conceivable how railroad trains, with any degree of vigilance, can protect themselves. Besides, hail the brakemun observed the horses and carriage approach- ing upon the crossroad, is it probable he would have dcemed it pecessury te warn the engineer: Could he have decw ed it possible that any Sane man, in possession of the senses of henring and seeing, cil not se> and hear the trainand would rot have held up short of the railroad track--especially a# the ground (as will be seen by reference to the accomp»nying diagram) was clear and siucoth, and ni ibing to prevent the driver, even af er he got close to the tatlroad, pulling his horses around to the right “A quick check of the right rein would have thrown his horses perallel with the track’? and avoided all danger, (n the contrary, had the brakeman seen the carriage an- prouching, well knowing that the train had the right to the track, It ix not presumuble that he would have con sidered it necessary to give the engineer notice of ite approach, If he hid secn a cow or horse, or other beate animal controlled only by his own instinet, om or ap- proach the track, he would haveattempted to che or toaccclerate the train, But if he saw at a distanc a spy arently under the power and control no canger was fairly to be apprehend. respectability and position forbid the idea that t have been iistake ed. ¢ land. the dictates of coramon eense, and the ¢ of the travelling public, forbid the necessity of checking thet for every wagon than can be seen in the neighborhood There are two hundsed and thirty-even crosings by streets. public road ; ssings; the loss of mi- passage between New York instead of fone how puable doubt that the train ed not unusual or unsafe. it must be remembered, was iron raile of sixty-four pounds to the rder, It had been just passed over 1 the track found safe and clear, s there can be but little doubt that in meeting bstructions on the road, that a higher rate ot speed, which in ese of collision would probably sweep the impediment olf the read without injury to the train, is much safer than a low rte of speed Lit ob lige the train to encounter and embarrass itself with the obstructicn, without removing it from the track. In view of the above fuct ‘th committee have review ed the regulations of the company, to ascertain if any, and what. alterations could be suggested for the better protection of the passengers and trains: and they are constrained to say that they concider the present regula- tion better than any which has been proposed for ran- ning trains on stugle track roads, and that experience has proved thein 1 be so, even in the recent ease of dis- aster; because it is evident that it was the driver of the ses who caused the accident, Was this not so? Had nut home there would have been no accident. He alone is responsible, and the wisdom of the company's regulations, and the faithfulness of their employes, will stand vindicated before the considerate judgment of an enlightened and morai people. With this brief narrative of the circumstances attend- ing the melancholy event of the 20th of August, as proved before the Coroner's we might, perhaps, with propriety close this r The subject, however, of safety on railroals is so connected with the feelings ‘and business of our people that itenlls for a few additional remarks frow us. To say that the com- pany is responsible this uceident because hey have not built a double track. is to apply a rule to this com pany which is applied to no other companies. There are supposed to be now more than twenty thousand miles of railroad in operation in the United States, and but a small proportion of double track. Roads which carry many more passengers per annum thon the Camden and Amboy Eailrcad have no double track. Even upon the New York and Erle, and Hudson River roads, there are not gouble tracks through the whole line; and we are not Ware that there isany railroad in this ¢ountry whieh is wo exclusively appropriated for the carriage of gers as this road is, that adouble track. It i however, not generally understood, that the Cara Amboy Kaiirond Company have now, and have had for many years, two separate and indepencent lines for the transit of passengers between New York und Philadel. phis. A portion of their trains pass over one track ex- Clusively, and # portion over the other: and it is well known incipient stepe_bave been taken to construct two more tracky between Trenton ard New Brunswick; which, including the Philadelphia Trenton Railroad, will provide additional facilities between New York and Thiladelpbia; not in the expectation ot preventing acci- dents, bat to expedite the transit between the two cities, Nothing but the depressed state of railroad securities in the money market has prevented the prosecution of this work. It is held, however, by many, that double tracks are not that guaranty fer safe'y whicn is claimed for them; ihe necessity ot backing the trains even on double in many instances cannot be avoided; switches, t frequent cause of railrond accidents, must ne- y be roultiplied. Certainly the statistics of rail 1 ad secidenty in hurope as well as in this country, seem © fayor that ides. It may be added. likewise, that on double tracks the temptation to maintain high rates of eperd is almost irresistable, and that high rates of epeed sre not as compatible with safety as low rates, The yublic demand, with reference to railroad travel. safety, cheoy ness snd’ speed. Double tracks are indispensabl where high rates of speed are in use, But they are not compatible with cheapness or necessary for satety, where a limited number of trains per day are run, s# is the case on our road. If lightning from hea- ven were to strike our cars, it would be as reasonn- tle to eay that the company was responsible fur the result, beeause they have not fixed liehtning rods to each car, a* to say that the company is re- eponsible for the recent accident, beeanse they have not bullt a double track. As to tho suggestion of placing w gate at each crossing. that can only be done by Legisla- tive authority, and we do not think it would be ae safe, S person to halt, end to see that the sight. before he attempts to cross any rail- rond, avis the evident intent of the present sign beards reqvired by law. lyery m would in this case have a perfect protec: tien ip bimeelf; why diminish it by placing the responsi- Willy elsewhere, and upon persons much lege interested?

Relative to the law for the suppres- sion Of intemperance, pauperism and crime, he advised the Grand Jury not to entertain any complaints, as by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Second district in general term, the law was pronounced unconstita- tional in its main features, and must be viewed, there fore, a8 if it had never been passed, wutil the final deci sion of the Court of Appeals.
