A fearful accident occurred about four o'clock yesterday afternoon to the regular morning train on the Mississipp: Central Railroad for New Orleans, ‘The train, leaving Humboldt bend time, rapidly approached Buck ner’s Trestle (which ts forty feet high and over a ravine). The engine crossed safely, but the remainder of the train ran off the track, crushing the trestle and completely wrecking the baggage and mail, express and turee passenger cars, The cause of the acciaent Is believed to have been the unsound condition of the trestle timbers, which permitted the rail to slip out of place and thus switch off the cars, which crashed through the trestle or plunged into the ditch. Every car was utterly destroyed. The baggage, migj] and express freight cars broke loose and were Scattered on the sides of the ravine, into which the wreck plunged.

Stine ee oy e A large and intelicotdal audience assembicd Jast evening in the large hail of the Young Men’s Cliris- an Association for the purpose ol forwarding “the education of young men of industry.” Several dta- tinguished speakers (among whom appeared the name of Governor Hoffaiaa) were announced to ad- dress the meeting, and in consequence the hall was filled to repiction, Mr. LanxeMone, President of the Board of Educa. tion, occupied the chair, and after a few introduc. tory remarks presented to the audience Mr. George N. Sanders, Jr, conductor of the evenmg high School, Who spoke at some length on the necessiy existing 19 our country for facilitating tne efforts of young men in pursuit of knowledge. Mr. JAMES W. GERARD was then introduced and delivered one of his happy and characteristic Speeches. He said that the object of the meeting had beea, as ic seemed to bim, rather mdefluitely staled, They had, Lowever, met as a committee of tue whole on public education—a subject to which our citizens had not paid suMcient attention of late yoars. For eighty years the public school system of education fas been tu progress towards perfection, and for tweaty years of that period he heen actively engaged in forwarding the move- ment. No one coud chargo tum with selfishness, for the day had lopg since passed when he sought any public office, His great aim had been to stimu- late the education of all car young people, espe- cially those of foreign birth. (App ause.) During bis contact with puvito schools he nad watched the children of all nations, and as Lue resull of fis ex- perience he coud say that no child was in danger of receiving any impression that would iu any Way be caiculated to demoraiize or degrade him. (Appiause.) tle gloried La driving no fast not (Laughter.) His taste and inclination consisted in visiting schoois und mioghag in the society Of ciutidrea and ladies, In the 120 public schools in tue clly of New York there were 100,000 children, all mingling together in the most beautl- ful harmony, and heginntay their studies cacn day with the Lord's brayer, ‘That was a good way for any ons to begin tie day, and he confidently uoped iw Would so continue, tosevaer with the reading of ‘the Scriptures without comment, He held that tie er and only persons to give in- LOsHrUse questions of religious doc. In_ the public schoola all met together on a berlectly equii 1ootiny—the chtidren of tie mer- chant, the banker and the mechanic aide by side— the lower grade not detracting from the higher, bas the mgher giving fone aud elevation to the lower. (Applause.) He was pleased to see that the Young Men’s Caristian Associativn bad united with the Loard of Education, and especially with tbe di- rectors of the evening high school, in order to afford young men @ means of education. It Was @ mar- nage between item both, aud he hoped it would be a happy and prosperous one and that neither snould ever seek @ divorce. (Appiause and laughter.) He reierred to the condition of tue mechanics of England a4 an example of the baneful effects of the want of education, Witn them When one line of business fatled it was almost tm- possible tor @ workman or echanic to turn his attention to any other branch; but with the educa tion afforded by our public school system every Man coud qualify himyeit so that if one business failed him he could at once turn his attention to another, (Applanse.) He had often gazed oa cnil- Gren in the public schools who had come from cellars and garrets with features equal to the creations of a Raphael. Money «peut for tne purposes of public education was well spent, and even if @ man were a hod carrier ho was the better for having an education. They mighi t assured that a moral peovle should be an enlightened people. Mr. WILLIAM M. Evarrs was the next speaker, and dilated on the benetits of universal education. He followed Mr. Gerard in his line of argument, and concluded by passing a hign eulogium on our splen- did system of education, A letter was read by the chatrman, Mr. Larre- More, from Governor Hoitman, expressing his re- gret for his inability to be present on the imteresting occasion, but hoping that the object for which tue mueeting Was coavencd Would prove a success. ‘The proceedings were then brought to a close. Closing of the Saturday Normal School, ‘The tinal session of the Saturday Normai School was held yesterday at Ward school, No, 47, in Twelfth street, A deeply interested and eothusi- astic audience filled the building to overfowing.

They were beautifuily and impressively read by Commissioner Wood. Mr, Kiddie, evidently much atfected by the unexpected testimonial, responded briefly, and ascribed the great success of the school to the zeal and abtiity of bis associates. ihe school is now merged in the new Female Nor- maland High school, located on Fourth street and Broatway, Where the usual Saturday lectures will continue 10 be delivered. Tho Hoboken Public Schools. ‘The night school season in Hoboken was brought to a Close on Friday night by an exhibition at School No. 1, in Garden street, The exercises consistea of dialogues, recitations and singing, and were highly appreciated. In one of the dialogues there was an imitation of the negro dtalect, or “colored English,’? whereupon many persons in the audience hissed and evinced great dissatisfaction, This uncalled for bigotry and prejudice against an unoflending race finds ho countenance in the Board of Education, and the exercises will be repeated to-morrow evening.

Yesterday hundreds of aur citizens, including State Officers, members of the Logisiature, city ofetals and members of the preas, walked slong @ part of Broad- way they never were in before, and more enjoyably than if they had been on the sidewalk of the well known thoroughfare of th Eapire City instead of twalve feet below it. AnD engraved invitation note asked those who had the good fortune to receive it to attend an “under Broadway Keception,” at the office of we “Beach Pneumatic Transit Company,” 260 Broad- way, from two to six o'clock yesterday, Descending an ordinary basement “dive,” under Deviin’s clothing store, the visitors found them- selves in 4 comfortable office, and a few steps lower thore was a kind of Aladdin's cave opened to view, in which there was more to be seen than the eye could take In at once, and therefore we must ask the reader's attention to a few particulars. Firat of all, let us explain the reason why this descent was made into the bowels of Broadway, and why all these importance representatives of the public had been asked to come and gaze and wonder. Legislative power has been obtained to construct @ pneumatic tube way from Warren street to Cedar street, for the purpose of “blowing small and large parcels—indeed, all kinds of “express busimess’’—between these two localities. The pro- mioters had not procecded far with their work before they discovered that it would be very little more expense to construct an underground railroad for the biowing of passengers as Well as freight. Acting upon this hint they have applied to the Legs. lature for power to construct this underground rat road, and if the calm, settled and earnest approval of their plan by the representatives of the scientific and executive ability of the city be an earnest of their success it will not be duficult to obtain the sanction of the Legislature to their bill. Virtually, Weretore, F pee od reception was the opening Gay of the first underground railway in America.. she | ee SU BOMB e jongtn of the already open leet; the iron Dértion of ft is Hity-seven feet; the brick 23:7 feet. It 1g whitewashed and lighted with gas, has fplegraphic wires running alongside the wail, ta favour wer? 22> Ligh ana formed a very pleagant promenade. The roar ct We Broadway trac was sll to ear got famt- plainly heard overhead, ana -“ 4 thy 208 thet Har with it sounded very strauge.™ Shana via, takes the tunnel to Murray street, on the nearly fush to the Post Ofice fence. > ‘The visior to the tunnel 13 shown very clearly how this tunnel has been made, ana how it is tuat the work has bee carried on in a moie-like manner without attracting the opscrvation of the Broadway pedestrians, and without iuterferting in any degree with the trafic. Having first obtained an entrance from the surface in Warren street and gone deep enough to be out of the way of sewers, gas and water pipes @ cylinder was introduced, which in shape resembled a barrel with the ends out, forced by eighteen hydraulic rams, This forces tself torough the earch, aud to moderate the fail of tne earth a number of wooden shelves are placea within the cylinder for the earth to drop through, and as the earth deposits itself 1¢ is shovelled up and carted away. In the coutse of the travels of this cylinder it came upon the remains of an old stone building, which was telleved io be an old Dutch powder magazine. ‘he stones were not too large to come through the shelves, and they were carted away with the earth, The cylinder has a projection tm the front of it of steel, both broad and ath, that dnda no dimculty in cutting ite way along. In the rear of it toere 1s @ thin piece of shect iron, sixteen inches broad, upon which the brick work Of te tunnel 1s built up, and when fuished the cylinder moves on again its earthy way to have sixtcen more inches of brick work saded, To work this tunnel four men are required— two to work the rains and two to carry out the earth—and these men will arive afoot of earth in fifteen minutes. Two more men are required ior the brick work, THE MOTIVE POWER. In this atmospheric system of propulsion the “biower” takes tie place Of the locomotive, and the passengers and freight are iterally blown to their desunation. The terin “blower” 1s used to designate @ Inuchine producing @ blast having a positive torce, and to distiuguish is from a fan, Wiich does uot pro- duce # force-biast. In this reapect a blower 18 aual- ogous to cylinders used In either case the air forced must find an outiet or the machine must stop. But @ fan can ran with che outlet obstructed or entirely closed, without being tn the least unpeded. The Imiction of the machine itself, tu ks operation, is so light that neariy the whole power appiled to tt 18 spent upon forciug the biast forward. Anotuer important povnt of superiority in the blower is its great durability, Dust, which is invariably caused wherever there {s agitation or a current of air, las no imjurious effect whatever, ag Ulere are no slides or vaives requiring O11 and liable to be soon coated over with dust when in operation. The blower is known as Root’s Patent Force-Biast Rotary Blower, and the principle of it is greatly in use ia the Wesi, 1n all forges, instead of the old blacksmito’s bellows, dt isan Indiana invention, and is one of the few good things that come from that State. This plower ia twenty-one feet high, thirteen feet broad and eighteen feet long, and, with its appendages, occu- Pies quite a suit of caveraous rooms, independent of the steam engine and boiler house, It is difficult in a verbal description to bring before the mind of the reader the mode in which the wind 18 Taised by this blower. Looking at it over the brick walls that encompass it, two massive pieccs of Iron that resemble wings are seen, and these force the air by rolling together and produce a positive blast through tue wings. The air is drawn in by one side of the blower and passes out at the other and into & duct that leads into the mouth of the tunnel under Broadway. This blower will deliver or exhaust the air in the tunnel at the rate of 120,000 cubic feet of air per minute with sufficient force to carry @ train of passengers. ‘The most ordinary observer can see that this is ho ideal scheme; it is practical euongh, aud but for a slight accident with the engine the visitors might yesterday have been conveyed in the very elegant and comfortabie passenger carriage from one end of the tunnel to the other. This carriage 1s adinirably constructed and was lighted with the new oxygen light, which 18 consideraoly clearer, purer and more brilliant than the ordinary gaslight. The name buras on @ little pencil of “zircon” about @ quarter of an inch long and the eighth of an inch in diameter. ‘The oxygen and the hydrogen enter in separate tubes and impinge on the burner, proaucing tue beautiful light de- scribed. [t is Likely to be of general use, and 18 now made by the New York Oxvgen Company, corner of Elevenvn avenue and Forty-irst street. The train when in motion at certain places in the tunnel communicates by electricity py one of its wheels striking @ copper plate on the rail witn a beil im the “blower? house, so that a valve may be turned, which reverses the current of air, by which tue train 13 enabled to return to its destination, - AS soon as the Legislature grant the necessary powers the tunnel wil be completed to Cedar street, then to every part of the city, and a more agreeable mode of traveling can scarcely be conceived. After the 1st of March the tunnel will be open to visitors on the paymeut of twenty-five cents, the profits of which will be devoted to the “Union tiome and Schools for Soldier’ and Sailors’ 0. phanz.” ‘The visitors were much indebted to Mr. sifred E. Beach, the president, and to Mr. Joseph Dixon, tne secretary, for the care both these gentlemen took im giving ail needfui explanations. ANOTHER VETERAN OF 1812 GONE.
