1'nc 4 CMason'Coauner, Fe 4.A ACCIENsT o 'rui ML ROAD.-We rtegret to learan that ani accident,.of a seri o's tat uVt, though fortunately'not affecting the lives or limbs of persons, occurred out the .ailBiad on.M onday evening tout. When the doV. nward train of cai arrived within a mile of Woodetock, the Locomotive ran off jle rvad, andcois'equently. drew aller it the tender, baggage, and. several of .the freig'-t cary, Alsoa car contatning several erco horses, belonging to Col. Hampton. nud others. A number of cars were shut tered to atoms from the concussion;. and several of tho horses injured--one or two of. them, it is reported, so badly as to lead to the belief that. they will be incapacitated la'tu any more appeariig on the turf. A servant was in the car-with the horses, at the time the accident occurred, but escaped writlh little or no injury. The horses were taken from the Rail Road, and arrived hero yesterday forenoon. The passengers were brought down betsween d and 4 o'clock yesterday morning, by a Locomotive that was despatebted from town to their assis tauce, as soon ia inTformation of the occur rence was received. Capt. J. C. Ker the proprietor of :Woodstock, hastened an ex press instantly to town, to give notice of the misfortune, and, with his usual urbanity, -a- nud-.promptitide, allorded every assistaice in his power. It is particularly unfortunate that this cir cumstance should have taken place at this period, as we fear it may affect, sonmcw'dt, the sports of the Turf, during the coming .week. We hope, however,that none of Col. . H.'s favorite nags have sustained such dat age ts to prevent his engaging in the con test' for the various purses to ho - run for. Should he not participate in the week's amusement, the circumstance should be a source of mtch regret to the sporting coin muuity. Corrcspondence of dc Charleston Cour. WAsumEuotron, Fob. 9. In the House this morning, Mr. Muhlen herg's resigtinmion of his sent was announced by the Speaker.

With great humility and forbearauce lie had borne the burdens of his party; and while ho regretted that 'ho gentle ian had escaped the application of his reso ltion against the appoiutinen c of members to executive office, he congratulated the gentleman on being thus removed from the toil and turmoil of politics here nud in Pein sylvania, and being sent to a haven of rest, far abroac!.

Af:er no little discnssion, and a speech from Mr. Mathew L.

LITERARr CUIIOSITY,-We have in our { possession the numbers of the Boston Gaz, more than a century old. One is dated the 27th July 1734; another 24th September 173t3; and the third the 6tit Septeznber 1725; the lutter being 113 years of age. The two first are ahout the size of a 10 by 12 pane of glass, and the latter one about 12 by 14. which shows the Gazette to have been on the deelino from 1725 to 1734. There are many curious things in these ve terans of a century, and not among the least is the style in which they are printed and their odd phraseology. -We find iin them also, several advertisments of negroes for sale, negroes t unaway, &c. which we pub. lish for the gratilfietion of our roaders.
