Lest evening at Hoboken, when the ferry bridge was crowded with hundreds of people ready to go to Now York by the half paet eight o’clock boat, the chains sud- denly gave way, and, without a moment’s warning, whole shoals of people were thrown into the water. it was a fearful termination of a day's pleasure. Tho shrieks of the unfortunate victims were heart rending; men and wo- men whose friends bad gone through the ferry house be- fore them, were rusbing wild'y about, uttering despairing cires for wives, busbands, brothers, sons and daughters whom they never expected to see sgain. The boate in the neighborhood were got in ‘natant readimess with praiseworthy exertion, and to the boatmen must be awarded a large share of praise for the many lives saved from an untimely end, The tcene in the Atlantio Garden beggars description, Crowds of saturated unfortunates rughed constantly in for something to counteract the effects of their involuntary bath in the North river, Mesers.

Mr. Pond made his way through the crowd, offering ao commodations for all such personsas might be injured, and pu every spare room in his hoje) at their d'g- al. The culpable carelessnoss of tho ferry people de- serves the strongest censure On such an occasion, when they knew thousands of people Was be waiting to cross the river, the bridges were without inspection; nO precaution whatever bad been made to prevent acci dent. But thetr conduct is on a par with that of tho direc- tors of all New Jorsey public conveyance {nstiiutlons.

Every Gye J Rggeed be ave = Fragen who appealed to their charity, was afforded by the proprietors ofthe Atlantic Garden, and in b.!fan hour the boat waa gain runplog from the Csnal street slip, and our reporter, taking advantage of that circumstance, quickly harried over with his notes. It appears wat it was all owing to the action of the pow ie 4 on board the ferry boat that so many er- d. e engine was re mg at the moment of the aceident, ani consequently sent a strong surf towards the supken Bridge So powerfal was the force of the surf thus created that it washed all the people clear up out of dan ger. It was most miraculous indeed that no loss of life ensued, During the confusion at.ending the accident a nomber of thieves took occssion to plunder and rob everybody they could come across. Scercely avy one was free from the gyne.oad these rascals. Watches, breastpins, brace te, and well filled purses were transferred from their Jawful owners to ihe possession of dishonest persons in Jew time than could be well imagined. One gentleman bad bis watch, valued at $165, taken from his pocket while he was endeavoring to rescue a woman from tho water. ADDITIONAL PABTICULAR3—A WOMAN DROWNED— SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.

There was also the apprehension that this was tne desireof Judge Pemboay biumrelf, as it was reported that as an appointee of the Governor not yet conirmed, he would desire to avoid the invidious appearance of betug a partisan insiru- ment in these proceedings. It is also reported, and it siands asa current upcontradicied siatement, the Judge Peabody caured it to be conveyed to bis fellows on Sopreme beuch, that he 'y desired the question to be carried up to fortl \jadie:tion, and that he desired the supersedeas, well as the previous irjunction, to be removed, that he him. self do the wm acts for sending up the ques on and #0 relieve bimrelf and the Court more effectually from the current imputations so prevalent in regard tothe matter, This was the uniform impreseion in the law courts rince Taesday or Wednesday of last week, when Judge Peabody left the city with the professed ebdject of avoiding all approaches and solicitations which might have & bearing upon his action in the premires, ThéGounsel fer Mr. Devlin, however, although they might bave been wade cognizant of these intimations pre vious to the final acts of Juige Peabedy, took their own measures, of course, indepeodent of them. When the supersedeas of Judge Davies was granted, and the orders for search and arrest by Jadge Peabody issued, they put in bar at once the injunction of Judge Ingraham. The re- peated exclamation of the counsel for the State officer iz view of this unlooced for move was, Honor Judge Peabody should trampis it under When Judge Peabody bad in effect done this, both by his acts and his expressions, of course there was no recourse farther tn the court than as Mr. Brady did, protest againat the gross violation of iaw and refuse to moceed jn the case A regular process of law had issued Ken 8 Judge, out of his own court, and had validly at- tached to the books and papers of the Street Commissioner, Acopy of the injunction been eerved on Conover where be sat in court beside his counsel; it had also been served upon the Sherif! and upon Mr. Devlin.

Late and Imeresting from Honduras, OUR CORTEZ CORRESFONDANCE. Contaz, (late Puerto Caballos,) Honvoras, June 1, 1857. Progress of the Honduras Rattroad—Salubrity of the Coun- try—Carib Laborers—Change in the Name of Puerto Caballos—The English Conventions— Policy of Guatemala —Popular Sentinunt Regarding the Railroad—Colonel Kinney—Senor Alvarado. To day the engineers of the Honduras Railway finished the survey of this port, and of the firet sestion of tne line of the proposed road. To morrow the camp will be es” tablished at Choloma, twenty miles inland, and past the densely wooded belt of alluvium which borders tho coast Beyond Choloma the country becomes comparatively open, and we enter the region of pine and oak. One fact witch fpeaks well for the ralubrity of Honduras is, that among the entire body of engineers and aseistante, upwards of sixty inmumber, and notwithstanding the early setting in of the rainy season, amidst all the fatigues and ex posures incident to the commencement of such a work, we have bad but twocases of indisposition, and those very slight, since our arrivalon the 6th of May. This is the more significant, as not more than two or three of the par- ty were ever before under the tropics. A great deal, without doubt, is due to the sanitary precautions taken by Dr. Holland, the surgeon of tho expedition, who brings to his aid tha medical experience of fifteen years’ practice in Texas and Mexico, The camp regulations, as regards health, are most rigidly enforced, and spirituozs liquors are not allowed, except under medical prescription. As we are now literally ‘‘out of the woods,’ our pro gress will be comparatively rapid and easy, Thus far the reports of Lieutenant Jeffers and Mr. Squier have been fully confirmed, and the line of the road has been found to be In all rezpects of the most favorable character, Delegations bave reached the camp from the various groups of Carib mahogany catters on the coast, and tenders: of men, to upwards of two thousand, have been made on their behalf, all ready to take the fleld at a moment's nolice. They are amongst the most expert axemen in the world, and thorough'y acquainted with clearing, grabbing, and road and bridge makiug. They are, moreover, tho- roughly organised, working in compan'es under “‘cap- tains,’ and receiving rations like soldiers. A finer and more athietic body of effective laborers is not to be found im apy country. They number about 7,000, scattered along the coast between Oma and Truxillo, In order to avoid having Puerto Caballos confounded with Puerto Cabello in Venezuela, the name of the former bas been changed, with the assent of the aathorities, to Cortez, in honor of the celebrated conqueror who di-cover- ed the port, and in 1626 founded there a town, which he called Natividad. Cor'ez described the port as “the best on all the coast of New Spain.’’ Itis singular that, so far as I now, no town or important feature of the New World bears the same the great Moxican couquer- ly christened port. The Pacidc ter- f the road has al; borne the name of the cele- Cel eitng J capital, y ef the espulsion of Walker. In this part 1p consequence mere mention. ‘he currens tp the United Stetes abvut tue veri os ena between Great B ican and Honduras are not accurate. Tue trewy of 4 frloadebip, with the additional articie railway, bus been ratified.
