GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Disasters of the Danville Railroad- Siuunlay iibnut 8 o’clock, the spiicious Diiuviile Ryilroad Depot in city, fell with a great, crash to the ground, a perfect wreck. The immediate cause was the vast weight of snow, the accumu lation of two storms, upon the root, with the added pressure of the rain of Satur day afternoon, which was absorbed and held by tl)c snow as a sponge. The root was sustained by a system of iron rods, which had the appearance of great strength; but it weis not projiped from the ground at any poiut retween the walW, which enclos ed a apace 217'^ by 132 feet, llie pon d Oto'ous accumulafi -n 'f water and snow bore do-n the rr>of and pris ed out the walls, and nearly ail four fell to their toun dations I The disaster is to be greatly deplored, as besides the loss to the com pany, its operations, now so extensive, must be cousaJerably interrupted. “Misfortum s nevercotne singly,’’says the ohl adage, and in the case of the Danville Road they did not.

By this time the garrison had not fond, except some hor.se flesh for the sick in the hospitals.— Here the narrative breaks off, and wc have no details of the surrender. Private accounts without dates, (rather doubtful ) say that Omar Pacha had driv en in the Russians and taken possession of Khoni, five leagues from Kutais, and was preparing to attack the latter city, which was garrisoned by ten thousand Russians. Momavieff bad detailed a part of bisforces to Oppose Omar. The ’Turks are said to have found 12,000 fur coats in Khoni.— Giieat Britain.—Attention is entirely occupied in discussing the probabilities of pt'ace. It is remarkable that the general public spc: k ni'ue in favor of carrying on the war now than at any previous period. The Queen has sent a jeweled decoration to Miss Nightingale. Heavy gales had prevailed during the week, and numerous casualities were re ported on the Britifh coast, but no Amer ican ships arc ktjown to be damaged. The Spanish brig B:irc(dona f>r Havana, was wrecked on rh‘ night of the 10th inst., off Gibi'Mlter. Forty five passengers were drowned, including seven ladies. France.—Gen.

Hoel.-vnd.—The frst steamer of the Ni-wYoik line, ti)c Belgique, was formally baptised at Antwerp on the 15th iri'tant, by the Caidinal Archbishop of Maliues and a crowd of ch'.rgymen. Denmark—Denmark has requested the Governments interested to adj-urn the C'lnfenmeeon the Sound Dues. A Copeu- bagi-n letter says that only two States have as yet pronounced in favo? of Denmark’s views, namely, Russia and Mecklenburg. The Russian Finance Minister some time since stated that he could not raise the large sutn required to capitalize, and therefore preferred remaining as they are. Lord Clarenihm h is announced that if the UnitCil States siiips pass without paying tolls, British ships will pa-s also. Further News Per Steamer Canada.

The na ture, the importance, and the de£tinatif>u of the forces in question, shall, the case occurring, he decided by a common agree ment between the three powers. A-secret clause is appended to the treaty provi ling for Swelen, eventually taking the ii.l 1 agsinst Russia. Vienna private conespondence intimates it is said she is loaded with arms for Rus sia.

From the scat of war there is no account of any active engagement. All are in win ter quarters, but very watchful, and the Allies suspicious of the intentions of the Russian force!

Closely be hind you follows a poor, meek, jjlainly clad seamstress, deprived, from her tread-mill round, to think, one day in seven, of the Immortal! The sexton is struck with sud den blindness ! She stands embarrased one moment; then, as the truth dawns up on her, retraces her steps, and, with a crimson blush, recrosses the threshold which she ha.s profaned with her plebean feet. Hark to the organ. It is a strain from Norma, slightly Sabbathized. Now tiie worshippers one after .mother glide in— silks rattle—plumes wave—.satin glistens; diamonds glitter—and scores of forty dol lar haudkerchiefs shake oiittheir perfumed odors. What an absurdity to preach the Gospel of the lowly Nazarene to such a set! The clergyman knows better than to do so. lie values his fat salary and hand some paisonage too highly. So, with a velvet tread, he walk.s all around the ten cainmandments—places the downiest pil low under the dying profligate’s head—- and ushers him, with seraphic hymning, in the upper ten Heaven.” Moral Svasios.—On board the Cunard steamers the church service is road every Sunday morning. The muster roll of the crew is called over and they attend to ser vice. A gentlonian one day said to one of the sailors : “Are you obliged to attend public wor ship ?” “Not exactly obliged, sir,” replied Jack, “but we should lose our grog if we did’nt.” Excellent Advice,—Said a di.stiiiguish- ed city pasior to a young member of bis flock :— Brother . we are alwavs pleased to hear you speak in tlie prayer- meetings, and we hope you will coiiiinnc lo do so ; but I would ad-he you to be as brief as possible and if the breihren think von are too brief, llie.v will tell you ofii.” Tills was spoken in lore, and had tlie deair ed effect.
