At the start and during ‘the race the ‘engineers in charge of the respective vessels will be subject to the following rules :-— First—at a given signal both vessels are to fire up and raise steam. When this is accomplished another sixnal will be given, when both vessels will run their engines for five consecutive hours at a certain rate of speed, in order to enable the engineers of each vessel to bring their engines in good working order. ‘Second—Atter the expiration of the given time the ves- sels will really commence the contest. The vessels being restricted to a certain quantity of coal, their engines will be run for four days Third—At the expiration of the above tino the vessels will be allowed two days to prepare for another four days race, in which they will be permitted to consume as much coal as either party may deem proper. Fourth—This second race being over, both vessels will proceed to the Navy Yard, where they will bo fitted out exactly alike, Fifth—-At such time as the vessels are ready they will start from Throgg’s Neck, around Fisher's Island, and back to the starting place, going over the course three times, when, it fs presumed, the test of these rival engines will be concluded.

Mr, J. H. Hibbs, conductor of the Camden and Amboy train which collided with the Amboy and Trenton freight train on the th inst., visited our offlee yesterday and made the following statement:—The Camden train and the Amboy freight train left their respective stations, Philadelphia and Amboy, at the same hour, six A. M., on the morning of Thursday. The time for their arrival at Heightstown, N. J., where they pass one another, is five minutes past eight A. M. ‘The train from Philadelphia arrived at the stated hour, and, not finding the other there, started at the regular time, and shortly after the collision took place, The rule on the line is that all trains give way to a first class—vis: if the conductor of a second or third class train finds he cannot make the station where he is to pass the first class in time he is compelled to remain and allow the first class train to pass him. This should have been the case in the late accident, but was not so in consequence of the watch pf the conductor of the freight train being three and a half minutes slow. He states that no accident partaking of a serious na- ture took place, as the rate at which both trains were running was slow. The Blown Up Train Near Nashville. eee * Nasavitts, Sept. 9, 1865.

The passenger train coming up at twenty minutes past five A. M. dashed into the wild train before the engine could be stopped. The engine of the passenger train, No. 63, was injured, and the cars of the wild train considerably battered. in persons were slightly injured.
