The Republican notes an accident to the train from the scene of the disaster for that city, contain ,iaj the dead and wounded. It says : On the way up, upon arriving at the bridge across the creek kn iun as St. John's, about four miles above Washir.nutn, a portion of the train wast left aehind ti provide for contingencies in case the bridge aifjht break duwn, which was thought to be quite probable, the creek beini' much swollen from the heavy rains.

Before starting to crass, a number of the unhnrt at the dis er, (a- Mijjwhum was our informant,) got out of the cars and Walked across the bridge ; afterwards, as mod s the locomotive started tu cross, the whole structure gave way, and the entire train of cars, containing the dead and wounded, and most of the wviyois,, were left on the other side of the bridge.

The HeraloVt correspon dent asserts in a most positive manner that, not withstanding all assertions to the contrary, matters between this' country and England appear ex tremely warlike, and that there are now certain demands before the Cabinet at Washington from for redress. Common rumor to-day has asserted the same fiingr, adding that either England or America must n tract in order to avoid war. ' The difficulty is said to emanate from Secretary Cushing's instructions in regard to Herr's trial in Philadelphia. A Crucifixion is China. An American, writ ing from China to the New York Times, after giving an account of the numerous execu ions of the rebels, says : Two weeks since, to vary the scene, they had a crucifixion. A woman was sentenced to be cruci fied for the crime of having given birth to one of the rebel chiefs. If a father is a rebel, his fantily is considered the same, rand the whole family, from the old man of four score to the child of four years share the same fate. The poor woman was nailed to the cross while living,a gash made r.cross the fore head to the one, and" t eskin pealed down so as to hang -over the eyes ; after which the breasts were off: tYhen procpedejHo break every bone her body ; a largerirrrv.nipxt1ui throat and passed downward, cutting the chest open. The executioner then thrust in his hand, and grasping the hearr, tore it from its socket, and laid it beating and reeking before the judge. At Shanghai they drown them by hundreds. Purchase of Cuba. A lette- from London to New-York Courier and Enquirer informs the pub lic that the purchase of Cuba by the United States is possible, if the latter will give two hundred mil lions of dollars, one half to be applied to the liquid ation of the foreign debt of Spain, and the other half to the liquidation of the home debt. Ore hundred millions of dollars is about one-fifth of the face value of the foreign debt of Spain, whicl stated in full is 100,000,000, bui the faith of Spain is of such a nature that the bond-holders woul'l gladly accept one hundred millions of dol lars from the United Sthtes as full payment. Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Compa ny. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the above company, was held, in Wilmington, N. C, last we k. The reports that were presented, showed that the financial condition of the company was good, and that iti management was worthy of high com mendation. ' .. William S.

Two physicians of Paris have published a memoir, the object of which is to make known the immense resources which the healing art nviy dr.iw from the seed of parsley. This common indegenous plant possesses iiiconre-tiible febrifuge qualities or properties ; the decoction of its seed maybe substituted for that of cinchona, and Ihe active principle which has been drawn from if, and which they, designate under itic tmmo of anol, is equivalent to uixs9 in the treatment of the local intermittent fevers. Fire. A destructive fire occurred in the village of Niagara Falls on the 12th inst. It broke out in the large building near the rapids, between Bath Island bridge and the ferry, occupied by Messrs. Bdtler &. Crouch, as a sash, door and blind facto ry ; Messrs. Samuel Nott &. Son, as an edge-tool factory and a saw, and the building and its con tents were entirely consumed. Fire in Portsmouth. Monday at four o'clock, P. M., a fire broke out on North street, near Craw ford, in a framed building, belonging to Mr. E. Choate. Two wooden tenements of no great value were destroyed. The fire companies of both cities, were quickly at the scene of conflagration, and subdued the flames. The Norfolk and Portsmouth orphan fund in N. York, now amounts to $7,000. A gambler was ducked at Cairo, 111., the other d.iy, for cheating a negro out of $200.

The price will be maked on every piece of music. The Non-Copyrights thus ' Reocced price, cents;" and the Copyrights thus "Copyright, cents;" All the Non-Copyright Mus c printed previous 10 this arrange ment will be sold at one-half the old price A proportionate reduciiou will be mule oh our In struction Books, &,c-. &c. Since the study of music hss become an essential branch of education, a reduction in the price of Sheet Music has been demanded by the public, and wo have no doubt that the plan we h ive adopted will increase our sales sutlieieiitto warrant us i.i carrying out our enterprise to its fullest extent. Our Catalogue already contains the works of the best European Authors, and we will continue to reprint such as may hereafter be published ali ot which will be sold atiess than one-half the prices of the foreign cop;es. We will continue the .manufacture of piaxo-fortes, guitars, flutes, &c , &c , and alsoj the importation of EVERY ARTICLE OF MUSICAL MERCHANDISE, and will Sell for Cash only, at greatly reduced prices. A majority ol the Music Publishers ofN'ew-York, Bos ton, Philadelphia and Ballimure, ha vina combined against us, in order to prevent the public from receiving the benefit of'our great reduction, have refused to tupply our orders lortheir Music, or to purchase Music Irom us, or to sell to any one who'dare furnish us with their music. For a short timo our stock may be incomplete, but e will at once nmnnul to re-Dublish all the popular- Non-Copright pieces oftheir Catalogues at the reduced prices, and we have no doubt, but we will soon find those who will dare sup ply to us all our other wants. We are determined to sell to the public at the lowest prices, consistent with a re munerative profit to the Publisher and Dealer or Teach er, and will neiiher enter into, or submit to any combina tion for a contrary purpose. - lus of course understood that it is impossible for us to sell the music of other publishers, except those who have adopted our relorni, t the new prices, and it is therefore necessary that the public clvuld select from our Catalogue in order to avail themselves of the " Reduced Price.
