The French Assembly to Convene Without a Presidential Message. SPAIN AND AMERICA. atest from Central Asia, Servia, Italy, Turkey and Other Quarters, ENGLAND. PARIZAMENTARY MOTION FOR THE UNCONDI- ‘TIONAL WITHDRAWAL OF THE SLAVE CIRCU- LAR—THE QUEEN IN THE CITY AND A HOLI- DAY—THE ‘CHANGES NEGLECTED FOR THE ‘MOMENT. Loxpox, March 7, 1876. In the House of Lords this evening Viscount Card- ‘well presented a petition signed by the Protestant dis- senting ministers of London, praying for the imme- diate and unconditional withdrawal of the fugitive slave circular. In tuking this step Lord Cardwell pointed to the efforts of civilized nations, including the United States, to abolish slavery. Lord Cairns, in reply, explained that the object of the circular was to inform commanders of Her Maj- esty’s vessels that it would not suflice to take slaves on board; they must put them ina place of safety. But, inasmuch as a British vessel entering foreign waters was bound not to violate or abet violation of the laws of a foreign Stato, the English government pre- ferred refusing to receive slaves on board to sur- rondering them after thoy were received. Lord Cairns called to mind what the present govern- trent had done toward suppressing the slave trade in Zanzibar and on the Gold Coast, and thanked God this was not a party question. Any government would have done the same. The circular could not be with- frawn without leaving more stringent regulations in force. Buta not small or unimportant step was about to betaken toward the time when it might be “‘tho destiny of England to consummate, as it had been her privilege to commence, the overthrow of that nefari- ous system which was the disgrace and curse ot humanity.” ‘THE QUEEN AND THE PEOPLE.

A gentleman who lives near the bridge describes the accident as one of the most fearful sights ho ever be- held. He saw by the moonlight the doomed train ag it approached the bridge; saw the huge engine as it went down into the abyss below, and all the cars, with their {reightago of human life and dumb creatures, take the fearful plunge upon the rocks, More than a hundred | feet below the train of cars were piled up for thirty or forty feet. The wohder is that anything on the train that nad life was not instantly crashed. Of the large number of cattle and sheep and hogs, but a solitary steer showed a sign of Jife re- maining. When daylight broke upon the scene the cars were found broken into fragments, making the wrock complete, The accident has created a deep sensation all through the valley and doubtless had much to do in determining a suit for damages which was pending in our Circuit Court when it occurred. The loss to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company cannot now bo Properly estimated, but it will be very great, especially it the friends and kindred of the dead and maimed seek for damages for destruct on of human life. This is the first serious accident that has happened on the Valley | division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and it is earnestly hoped merciful Providence may save us from another. CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. All unconscious of the danger ahead this train load of poor dumb animals and human beings went to a sud- den and a fearful death. The bridge commenced geing @own as se0n as the engine had fairly gotten on the fivet span. It was a wooden struotero, eli, and was known to be unsafe for very heavy trains. Indeed, the Baltimore and Ohio Reilread Company hed been ‘making, arrangements to rebuild it, the timbers and materials for the work being upen the ground, ATTENTION Ty THE DYING, Tho Masons of Edinburg wero promptly on the ground and gave attention to the dead and dying.
