an accident occurred. Two trains, runuing in
a contrary direction, cauie in collision, when
four or five cars were broken to pieces, and u
dozen or more passengers were left sprawling
on the ground. A rush was made and a great
activity manifested, when a servant wu.i recog
nized who belonged to au Englishman travel
ling in one of the first-class cars. At the mo
ment of I he accident the latter had poked his
nose out of ihe door; but, finding the cur did
not move, he had squatted down again i" a
corner. One of the officers jumped on the
platform, and, touching him with the end of
his finger, said: 'Sir, a misfortune has hap
pened.' 'Ah, oh! 1 know.' 'Four or five cars
are smashed.' 'Ah, ohl' 'And some eight or
ten persons are killed.' 'All, oh!' And, un
happily, your servant is one of them.' 'Ah, oh,'
ray servant?mine?' 'Yes, he is certainly dead;
be is cut into six piece*.' 'Ah, oh[j 'And I
come to ask of my lord what must be done.'
'Ah, oh,' give me the piece on which the keys
of my trunks are found.' "
Some Account of (he Fejee Savafjea?
Their Ferocity?MaanacrcB?Appearance
of the Johu Attain* at the Inlands.
The following letter from the Fejee Islands
to a gentleman in Philadelphia, (which we take
from the North American of that city,) will be
read, in this connection, with interest.. The
writer went to those Islands on a trading
voyage thirty-two years ago, left the ship to
which be was attached and settled at Levuka.
Here be soon acquired the language and be
came a ^jreat favorite among the chiefs. He
is quite an intelligent person, i* altogether
trust worthy, and has been of great service to
all who have visited these Islands since his
settlement upon them, as an interpreter and in
procuring provisions, &c. After the return of
the exploring expedition under Com. Wilkes
to the United Stales, Mr. Whippey was made
Vice Consul for these Islands:
Fejee Islands, (Levuka,) Oct. 10, 1853.
Mr. D , Philadelphia.
My Dear Sir; 1 promised, whi n you left
here in the Vincennes, to let you know once in
a while how things went on in the Islands. I
commenced, and wrote you twice, but receiving
no answers, I concluded that you eitherdid not
get the letters, or that you were dead; and I
have not hoard to the contrary till I saw your
son hi re in the United Slates ship St. Marys.
Therefore, I take this opportunity of letting you
know that I am still alive. Most of the whites
that were residing here at the time of your
visit are dead. The oJd King of Ainbou
(Tanoa) is dead. Ihe King o! Souio Sonio,
and all his sons, have been killed by Sam, the
Chief of Ambon. The King of Rewa, and all
his brothers but two, haw betui killed by the
same man; and be has done nothing el-e but
slaughter his countrymen ever since he has
been in power.
Tui Levuka, the chief of this place when j'ou
were here, was killed, and mo to! the people
in the town, by the people of the mountains of
Ovoluu. His sou is now Chief of the place,
and is at war with Auibou, and has been so for
these two years past; that is. ever since our
town was burnt by that party. Old Tui
Muthwater was killed by Gouttjrtober shortly
after you left, and the people "have been at war
ever since.
The burning of Tye and Swalib, and the
chastisement ??t Malolo by the exploring expe
dition, has had a most lasting effect on the
nativeR o! these places, and I think that n white
man in either would be as sate as in the City of
New York, at. Malolo in particular, as they j
consider themselves belonging to America, and
the question has been often asked by them, why '
they were not visited by the ships of war from
America, as the Island and people belong to |
them ?
The Missionaries that were at Somo Somoleft j
there without one proselyte. Mr. Hunt is dead, j
and also Messrs. Cross and Ciirgill. The mis
sion has been doing next to nothing till of late, i
but they are now goingon rapidly; young Saru
has turned Christian for a while, and the Tonga
people have been here tor these last six months i
spreading starvation nnd destruction all over
the group. They have now full possession of '
most all the Weather Islands; some of* them '
are about leaving for their homes at Tongata j
leon.
There are itboot GO or 70 whites on Ovolau, }
and about 200 children of half castes. Of late i
there have been some dreadful massacres on i
these islands by the Tongues, Bay 650, at two I
different times, have been killed.
The United States ships St. Marys nnd John
Adams are now at ancnor in this harbor, to
investigate some robberies committed by the j
natives. I hope they will succeed, and do it
well; if not, there will be no security for either
property, or for the commerce of the American 1
traders. There is still a great quantity of sh-11 j
and lecke de mar procured here.
You must excuse all imperfections, as my
lamp is dim.
W ishing you health and happiness, I remain
your obedient servaut,
DAVID WHIPPET.

Governor Shannon, we learn, says the Na- !
tional Intelliffenrcr of yesterday, letl this city
on Saturday evening last on his return to Kan- j
sas, by way of St. Louis. It is currently re^' \
ported, and we presume correctly, thnt he has
been instructed to proceed in great haste to
the Territory, and on his arrival there to re
move his quarters from Shawnee Mission to
Leconipton, the pTace selected as the scat of
government by the late Legislative Cruncil,
and the region represented to be most serious'y
involved in the pol.tical troubles of tie Teri
tory. It is also rumored that orders have been
issued from the War Department to Colonel
Sumner, and possibly transmitted by Governor
Shannon, which are supposed to accord with
the views of the Administration as expressed
in the President's lale Message and Procla
mation, nnd therefore to authorize that officer
to obey any requisition of Governor Shannon
when the public peace within the Territory or
the protection of the people from external
violence may prompt Governor S. to invoke
the restraining power of the General Govern
ment in their behalf.

A message was received from the President of
the United States, by Sidney Webster,.esq , his
private secretary, transmitting a report of the
Secretary of State and accompany ing documents,
in answer to the resolution of the Senate of the
4ih instant, culling for copies of the laws and

communication* from Governor Shannon to the

the course which hud bt en pursued by the Ex
ecutive, and hoped he would be sustained by
every la w-al>i<'ing man. lie had done neither
more nor less than his duty in regard to the dis
turbin. es t here.
Mr. WILSON said that the t orrespondence
that had been read totally misrepresented the
state of affairs in Kansas. He went on to show
that the '? border rurfiians" had carried the elec
tions there at the point of the bowie knilie. Be
fore he had concluded, he gave way to* motion
to adjourn und thf Senate accordingly adjourned.

ENGLISH, FRENCH, AND AMERICAN
FASHIONS, 1S5C
GEORGE P. FOX
Has arrived at WllUrd'ii Hotel, Wash
ington, 1). C.
In the delay attending the organization of
the House, it i* a matter of congratulation
that the member* of both branches of the Na
tional Legislature can, without \iolating their
political principles, settle upon one popular < an
didate for ihcir favor. Mr. Fox, in his capacity
as a Tailor, representing commerce, has ever
merited and continues to receive the distinguished
title of Leader of Fashions of the I'nited States.
To that laudable distinction he has been elevated
by the unanimoua suffrages of the people He
has had the happy faculty of uniting the dissen
tient voices in the realm of fashion, and now
represents them in one undivided sentiment.
The House of Keprasentatives has Iveen at a loss
for a leader for some time, but the Representa
tive of Fashion is always organized. The fashions
in the plastic hand of art is to the skill of the
artist what the disorganised elements of the
Representative Assembly are to the genius of the
orator. The one succumb* to the taste of the
artist, the other is subdued l?y the eloquence of
the orator. What the latter is to the Congres
sional Assembly, Gkorhs 1'. Fox is to the Popular
Assembly of Fashion. We have thus far insti
tuted a parallel, but parallels only run closely to a
certain point* thence they diverge, and thus it is
with our lenders of fashions and our leadcsof
politics. The Speaker of Fashion (lor such we
will designate our representative) is never nt a
?loss for the right fit on the right man, and the
right inan is never at a loss tor the right (it when
he applies to our leader. His vote is never cast
away, nor yet his money. Iloth are equally well
and safely invested. Unanimity of opinion can
not l?e supposed to always exi?t in politim! as
semblies of men representing a diversity of prin
ciples, but in the realm of fashion there can be
but one opinion, and that is, that there m but one
American fashion and Otto. P. Fox is its leader.
