PARTICULARS OF THE LAT ACCIDENT ON THE CLEVELAND, COLUMBUS AND CINCINNATI BAIL ROAD, ROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDE ST, Cravetann Janu. 17, 1856. We have obtained the followlog perticulsra in regard ‘to the railrcad accident which o cured on the Cleveland, ‘Columbus and Cinciinati railrond, nea-D -taware station, -at 11 o'clock, A. M. to-day. Our fafosmation 1s gather- ed from the conductor, W. A Fisher, E+q, and from ‘paseepgers upon the train which met with the disaster. It appears that the train, the first Cinclanatl express ‘which left Columbus st 10:5 this morning, white on its way eastward, and when proceeding at ia usual average @peed—thirty miles per hour—met with a disaster, from the breaking of the forwar’ ax!eo’ the eng'ne truck. The train consisted of a locomotive, ter der baggage car and ‘three passenger cars, ali filied. Upon the breaking of the axle the engine struck the ground, and immediately turned over on the right ride. The engineer, (2wiss,) and fireman, both etood to their posts gallantly, + going over with the loonmotive. The engineer, ‘who was, we understand, badly injured in an acci- } alent some three years ago, was vurtin the back. The fireman bad bis ankle badly «sprained. Both wore some- ‘what browsed, but not seriously, Tse beggage car fol- towed ‘h» locomotive, and turned over on t's right sido. Had it not brought up vguinst » stamp, tt is provable } Shat it would have turned «ver severai times. In this | @arwere fixe men, But two «f them wre hurt, The American express mesenger, Johnson, (wbo doss not as ® usual thing travel upon the iraio ) had two or three ~ ribs broken, and it may be is o heewise considerably in- jared, ile resides, I be jeve, at Cleveland. He was left ‘at Cardington, ina surgeon's care [fo the same car Mr, Frank Bowen, a pryzmas‘er on the road, was severely “burned and troised from the stove and bagguge falling upon him. Mr. Bowen suffered a> much that he coald bs brough* no farther than Cheabire, where ho was left in good hands. He was very anxiou~ to come cn to Cleve- and, where be has a wife. Fortunately for the passengers, the coup!ing of the bag- gage car, which was literally turned end for ead, broke, go that the “hree passerger cars m ved on actually pacs- ‘ing the wreck. until the rear of the Iset car was a>reast of the locomotive; the first, e« alo the second passenger ear, had their plat‘orms smashed up, wind ows broken, &o. In the first passe: ger car there were two persons injar- _ @@—the conductor, W. A. Fisher, hid a very narrow ercape; he was just in the act of ooening the door of the First peesenger cer to ster out upon the platform when the platforms were folded up; in a momeat more ihe would have been crushed between them, as it was, his ands wero badly cut and jammed in the door: A Freach Passenger, whore name we did not learn, was also slightly hurt by the browking of glaes, &c.; » lack eye wns probably the worst of bla injuries. A negro walter, © passenger in the baggage cars, got hiv Angor badly jammed. The, asnqpger car was off the track several timer, ja aeain ine most ‘unacconntad'o manner—the considering them- @elvee very lucky. But the accident was one of that na- ture which it was impostible t7 foresee or prevent. No Dlume is attached to the railroad employée, The locomotive (Buffalo) has been raaning about Ghreo years--is a $9,000 engine, The lovs of tte com- pany may be estimated in round numbers at $4,000. The engine {s Kterally rmashea up, and ‘part of it is anid to fe buried nearly three feet in the ground, The track vas but elightly injured, two rails being torn up.

The Mayor's office was crowded, showing that the In- terest of the case has not died out, notwithstanding the protracted length to which it has been extended. Mr. Noyes, counsel for the prosecution, offered the following affidavit of Mrs. ana B, Cudlipp, which was read on the investigation before the Police Committee of the Board of aldermen:— 1, Ann B.

Youxvinix, April 7, 1865, The first witness examined was:— Mr. Theodore Sedgwick, who testified as follows:— T reside in thiseity, and am a counsellor-at-law. ° Will you state whether you saw aay book, while in England, purporting to be a parish record of baptism in Brandon, Suffolk county, England ? Objected to hy Mr. Brady, on the gr that the record should be produced first Mr. Noyes contended that if testified to by com- petent witnesses. it was admiasable, although the re- cord itself might not be produced. A sworn copy was admissable, he argued, :nd cited Cowen Hill's notes, 616, 1,147 and 1,149. Mr. Brady objected, as there was no legal proof that the record was authentic, Witness resumed—I was in London in July and August last year; on some day Gusto that period I was at Mr. ‘Buchanan's office; a gentleman whom I had no recollection of having seen before, but who was Mr_ Branch, introduced himself to me; he showed me a book entitled ‘“ The Parish Record of Baptism for the Parish of Brand rd I gave him the following certificate:— Leertify that Mr. Stepben H.

THEODORE SEDGWICK. Loxvow, Avg, 2, 1856. Witness resumed—The yolume was rather a thin folio volume, in manuscript, on parchment, if it states so in my affidavit; it did not strike me as'a very old or a very new looking volaine; { thiak Mr. Appleton, the Secretary of the Legution, saw it; if'Mr. Buchanan saw it, it was without my know: ledge; Ithivk Mr. Branch was alone, t Cross-examined by Mr Brady -¥ did not witness apy interview between Mr Buchanan and Bfr. Branch; the book which he showed ie wi 0) it was a bound book; I should — record bapticm was in the middle of puge or fa. 2 Tdid; Mr. Branch came in after I arrived at Mr. Buchanan's office; 1] was kept waiting some time to see Mr. Buchanan. Mies Ann Roe, sworn, testified as follows :—I re- side in Broadway; I resided near Niblo's between 1514 and 1824; I recollect a family living noar me named Matsell; Mr. Matsell was u tailor; I did not see him ofteu; I knew his two eldest daughtera, Susan and Mary; I knew there were three boys, William, George and Augustus. Mr. Reeves E Selmes, sworn, testified as follo 0; the During the last summer I occupied the position of Second Assistant Clerk to the Board of Aldermen; I have rongh minutes of the evidence given berore the Polive Committee; the which I have in my hand are copies of the Brandon records and the re- port of the con mittee to the Board of Aldermen Stephen H. Branch, sworn, testified as follows : Tresige in New York; I lived in New York since I wasleven years old; I went to England to ascer- tain the birthplace of Geo. W. Matsell; I left the United States on July 18, 1°55; I went first to Liver- 1, from there to Brandon very circuitously, which 1s on the line of Norfolk and Sutfolk counties. Q. What led you to go to Brandon? Objected to by Mr. Brady, on the gronnd that the motive was not evidence. Sustained by the Court. Witness— I went there from a statement made by Mrs. Millegan, a witness in this case; Brandon is a village of about 2.000 inhabitants; I first saw the parish clerk, whom I found about two rods from his residence; he was pointed out to me; his name is Charles Farrow, and he is about 45 years of age. he What conversation took place between you? hjected to by Mr. Brady. ‘The Court said that he should state facts. Witnese—He (the sexton) directed me to go to London, where the rector was; the rector had two residences, one in Brandon end the other in London; I went from Brandon * ) London, and found the rector there; his name was Samuel Warren; he directed me to return to Brandon and go to the rectorial mansion; I knew he waa the rector, becanze he told me 60. Mr. Brady objected to the testimony which was sought to be introduced, on the. ground that there was no proof of its authenticity. There way no proof, for instance, that the person Mr. Branch epoke to was the rector, except bis own statement. It was all hearsay from beginning to end-—book, sexton, rector, all was hearsay. In order to intro- duce any record they had to bring proof irrefragible that that record was authentic. 3 Mr. Stoughton, counsel ‘or prosecution, contended that the manner in which these documents came before the Court was in accordance with the rules of evidence. The City Judge said that evidence might be ad- mitted now and ruled upon afterwards. Mr. Brady objected, and said he claimed that Mr. Braneh knew nothing about the matter, and would, when cross-examining, endeavor to prove it. The Recorder ruled in favor of Mr. Brady. He thought this testimony could not be introduced wit- ont first proving the authenticity of the records. He for one would prefer hearing the authorities and argument of the counsel before deciding this question. jis Honor the uae said this was @ coart not itremmelled hy techuicolities. He was only in Bearch of fasts, and would exclude no evidence whatever. "He would admit it all. My colleagues here are lawyer*—{ am not, and must defer to thera, if they rule against me, bit I hope they will unite with me in admitting it all, There is no appeal in this court, The Recorder eaid the vory fact that there was no apy eal from this Court Jed him to be guided by the well settled principles of law which had been tixed after the expericnce of ages. He would pre‘er that the members of the Court should have a consultation together before vatenng | this question. r. Stoughton said, if discussion and authorities were necesrary, he hoped an opportunity would be given them to produce the authorities. City Judge Capron said the remarks of the Mayor seemed very reasonable. Equity and justice had great weight with htm. He for one should prefer, argument, but he thought we could admit the evi- dence subject to argument, but be would leave this for the decision of ‘his coll 1e8. ; The Recorder said it would save time to adjourn Mr. Brady—Then before adjourning we can call other witresses—I am a witness myself— (Laughter)—wiil you exaroine me? Mr. No; es—We will not examine you now--we will be ready for you next time, perhaps, The Court then adjourned til 84 o'clock next Saturday. The Weather. TO THE EDITOR OF THR HERALD. Between the hours of 10 and 11 A. M. of Friday, the 18th, the temporature rose above the freezing point, nd continued above that Iine for six conae- cative hours, and was followed by an abundant white frost this morning. The cold cycle, there fore, terminated quietly at the end of ninety (90) hours, counted from 4 P. M. of Sunday, as indicated in my weather memoranda published in the Hx- RALD of Fricay morning. That rise at the end of the ninety hours was not what I term a pertarba- tion, tor the reason that @ still ple temperature exists today—the thermometer having rose to 38 degrees.

The Peace Negotiations—Counter Proposale by Russia—Menecinkeff Appointed Governor of Cronstadi— The Coming Campaign. We are in the midst of a regular whiripool of peace negotiations. What I prognostieated has ae- tually occurred. Scarcely did we learn that Count Valentine Esterhazy had left for St. Petersbarg, when out pop counter proposals from St. Peters- burg. It is true that when these Russian proposals appeared, the proposals brought by Count Ester- hazy were supposed to be stil? unknown at B& Petersburg. But credat Judaeus! No one wilh doubt that Prince Gortechakoff, whe is an able man, was not aware of the substance, at least, of the Aus trian proposals. ‘The Austrian proposals are, as 1 have already in- formed you— 1. That Rassia shall abardon her claim to the special protectorate of the Greek Charch in Turkey. 2. That the Black Sea shall be made into a mere sea of commerce, from which the war ships of all nations should be, by common consent, excluded. 3. That Russia should cede 80 much of the terrt- tery of Bestarabia as is necessary to secure to all nations the free navigation of the Danube. 4. That all fortresses on the shores of the Black Sea should be dismantled, and that the idea of for- tiiying the sland Islands should be forever aban- doned. Well, the above proposals did not reach St. Peters- burg till the 26th of December ; on the 22d of De- cember a circular is issued from the Imperial Chan- cery, offering proposals of peace on certain terms. , MheEmperor conserts that the thirt pula: shalt be tolved (résolu) by the following com ximations:—~ 1.

There is no other news, Our London Correspondence. Lonpos, Jan. 4, 1856. The Peace Negotiations—Alleged Secret Unders standing between Lowis Napoleon and the Ozar— Significant Omissionin Louis Napoleon's Address to the Imperial Guard— Singular Commercial Phenomena—The New Line of Sieamers between Aniwerp and New York. Since a week past the London press has takem great pains to deny the general belief that the Em- peror of the French had determined to effect a pact fication with Russia. Thero is no doubt, however, of his desire to put an end to the war, if it be possi- ble to hit upon terms that will be acceptable to the public opinion of Western Europe. This is a serious obstacle, for Russia will naturally seck to make as little concession as possible, in order to save her pride; and the time for negotiation may pass away before anything is settled. Itis certain that Lord Palmerston will do all in his power to prevent any amicable arrangement; and as he must be consulted upon the conditions of peace, itis evident that he has ample means to postpone, ard thercfore to defeat it. Louis Napoleon may, therefore, iu spite of his profound reluctance, be forced to go on with hoatili- ties till a more favorable occasion offers for an es- cape. The Emperor is well aware that the nation ia not at all enthusiastic in this war, which they look upon as rather to the advantage of England thea themselves, The English journals take great pains to prove the contrary; but they lave fuiled to dis turb French convictions on this important point, ‘The only party in France really anxious for the con tinuauce of the war is the republican, for their hope is that sooner or later it will involve the Emperor in sericus difficulties, if not disasters. They secretly try to spread the belief that England, for her own purposes, has entrapped france into the war, amd that the loes of French blood and treasure only goes to promote tae aggrandizement of their old enemies, and to weaken and impoverish themselves, The Emperor is, no doubt, aware of these insidious machin: tions, and it constitutes another reason for his npxiety to escnpe the embarrassments of the present and the contingencies of the future. At thia moment all is uncertain, The answer of Russia to
