Their intention is to relieve the negioes at Dover, then march to the Rolling Mill, then to Bell Wood Furnace, then through Lafayette, on to Hop* kinsville end the Ohio river. The E.\ri.oßioN os the Steamer Kentucky —Further Partirulart.—The Cincinnati Commer. cial has the following particulars of the explosion of the steam pipe of the new steamer Kentucky, on Saturday night, forty miles below that city : The steam sped aft to the deck room, scalding seventeen persons—eleven deck hands and fire men and six deck passengers—who were seated around the deck room stove The night being cold, all tbe windows and doors were closed, so it was almost impossible for the victims to escape. One cr two mauaged to get through (he windows, and in their flight leaped overboard, but wtre res' cued from drowning by the mate, Mr Jordon, who lowered the yawl and went after them. The im mense volume of steam put out all the lights in tbe deck room. Captain Killen and other officers of the boat removed the unfortunate sufferers to the main cabin, where they received the kindest at tention. Mattreises were spread on tbe cabin tloor, and flour, cotton, oil, &c. t applied to tbe wounded by Dr. M. H. Burns, who, fortunately, was on board. Three of the wounded died, and eleven others were sent to the hospital on the ar rival of the boat here. None of the cabin passei - gers were injured, as the steam did not find its way into tbe cabin. A German lad, whose parents reside in Colum bia, above this city, after intense suffering, died yesterday morning. He was going to Mays ville to learn a trade. An aged colored man, name unknown, who took passage for Portsmouth, also died, and one of the deck passengers, name unknown, after tbe boat arrived here. All were very badly scalded, and it is feared that four or five others will not re cover. The names of tbe wounded firemen and deck hands are Pat. Ryan, Dennis Ryan, Ihos. Dorsy, Michael Mabei, Edw'd Murphy, Hugh Flaraty, and Thomas Murphy, from Maya vine; George Waller, from Felicity; JobnKerger, Paris Brown, and Thomas Mar, residence unknown ; Peter Da vis, a deck passenger, antMhree others, names un known. The second steward, Samuel Morgan, of Felicity, was scaided in tbe face and hands. Ho was heating oil at the deck stove when the accident occurred. George Dugan, badly scalded, went to Hij{ginsport, on tbe Scioto.

Wives for the German Legion—One bun dred aud five soldiers of (he British German Legion have arrived at Hamburg from Loßdon.

Sidney Willard, formerly a professor in Barntrd College, died suddenly last Sunday. RICHMOND. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 11.1856 T«l Cekci.—There »re few ttndenta of Malory who have not pondered with a fascination full of pain the horrible episode of Italian crime and ern elty involved la tbe (ate of the lovely Beatrice Cenel. It ia doubtful even if tbe eventful life of Mary, Queen of Scot., baa a point of aueh fearful attraction aa U presented In her fate, and It ia therefore no matter of anrpriae that the poeta ahould have aeir.od It and clothed It with a splen dor of fiction In whieh the true incident* have been ohacured or loat Thla la peculiarly the case with tbe representation of the facta beat knewn to the general Engiiah reader, "The Cenci" of Sbelley — The aubject was one peculiarly auited to tbe per verted moral nature of Sbelley, and he made a nse of it in strict accordance with tbe worst featurea of bia own character- An English writer on Rome, Mr. Whiteaide, publiahed some years ago what is supposed to be the true story of Beatrice Cenci— a translation from an antbentio history of that love ly martyr. Bpeaking of this account a recent let ter from Roma(says: It la almost too harrowing to the feelinga to be read; but represents the heroine as innocent of the crime of parricide for which she suffered. It is difficult to conceive of such a human devil as Cen ci, ber unnatural father is represented to have been; a Borgia could not mate him ! But, though driven to.madness by his cruelty, and the suspi cion of his incestuous passion, Beatrice waa neith er defiled, nor goaded to murder. Both her moral and physical endurance was nothing short of mi raculous; it was the injured exasperated wife, her step mother, who alone incited the assasaination of the monater, Yet the whole family—his wife, two sons and his daughter—were executed together, after hav ing endured horrid tortures to wring from them all a confession of participation In a deed, which one at least ot' the suffering party was ignorant of, till arrested on suspicion. So great was the excitement of the Roman populace against the condemnation of Beatrice, tbat onber way to the scaffold three attempts were made by concerted bands of young men to rescue her from tbe offi cers' hands On the ave of the fatal day ahe sat meditating her doom so intently, tbat for some time she did not notice a young man who had brib ed tbe jailor to admit him into the cell, for the pur pose of making a sketch of her. Her appearance at this moment is thus described : "Beatrice had risen from her miserable pallet; but, unlike tbe wrt-tched inmate of a dungeon, rtserabltd a being from a brighter sphere. Her large brown eyes were of a liquid softness, her forehead broad and clear, her countenance of angelic purity, mysteri ously beautiful. Around her head a fold of white muslin had been carelessly wrapped, from whence in rich luxuriance fell her fair and waving hair— Profound sorrow and recent bodily anguish im parted an air of touching sensibility to ber lovely features" Suddenly turning, she discovered a stranger, seated, with pencil and paper in hand, looking earnestly at her; it was Gnido KenL She demanded wbo he was and what he did there — The frank young artist told his name and object, when, after a moment's hesitation, Beatrice re plied : "Sig>;or Guido, your great name and my aad story may make my portrait interesting, and the picture mill awaken compassion if you write ou one of its angles the word innocent" Thus waa birth given to an inspired picture, which, to •ontemplate, is itself worth a visit to Rome; which, once seen, haunts tbe memory as a supernatural mystery—aa the beautiful apparition of sublima ted suffering. Alleged Mtjtkrious Affair —The Cincin. nati papers publish long accounts of the abduc tion from that city of a man named Morris Lindo, a citizen of New Orleans, *nd for the last eight years a book keeper for Connolly Sl Fox. The man, it is stated, was vaguely charged with em bt zzllng $9 000 from his employers, and was kid napped and spirited away into Kentucky by two officers, named Bunker aud Anderson. He waa then put upon a steamboat under pretence of car rying bim to New Orleans, when the manner of hii "taking off " is thus given by the Cincinnati Com mercial of Monday: The statement of Bunker is, that during the pas sage 10 Aurora, Lindo exhibited signs of lethargic drowsiness, which, as he had found an empty vial up on hii persan, ha ring had laudanum in it, so alarmed him that during the detention of the boat at Aurora hi went for a physician. who, upon examination stat ed ai hia opinion that the man waa poiiuming. With this tn.pren.on they again continued ihetiip. and Bunker lay down in the tipper berth, where, however, he waa kept awake by the hard breathing of Lindo, v hich continued until the boat had nearly reached Vevay, when it ceased and by a death like ulence. Thii alarmed the officer, ana he sroso to discover hia nnbappy chirge at hia last gasp and he expired a few minutes afterward. The body waa takan ashore at Vevay, where the captain procured a motalic oclfin, in which the remains wrre enclosed, aubject to the order of hia relatives. On Saturday the parlies isteres'ed ia thi* high hatded affair, vis ited the Mayor for information aa to their beat meth od of proceeding in the premises. Of the property which they had taken from the police there were about C 390, a valuable gold watch, aome other ar ticles of insignificant value, ana a trunk, which th*v stated contained property amounting to about *1,0,0 An examination was to be made into the cir •umstances of tbe alleged suicide by the Mayor of Cincinnati, and one of the officers engaged bad been put under bonds to appear. A Human Bout found Cut up in a Barrel AT ROUSK'S POINT.—On Monday evening last, we learn that tbe men employed at tbe railway station, Rouse's Point, found offensive odor arising from a barrel, which bad been left there on tbe Friday previous by tbe steamer Boston. Tbe barrel bad no owner, uor any mark on it; nor was it known who bad left it. It bad been taken on board tbe Boston at Port Kent; accompanying was also a trunk containing old clothes, powder, balls, tc.— Some person unknown accompanied both barrtl and trunk to tbe Point, and then disappeared, leaving, it is said, instructions to send the barr«l to Lscoile. In consequence of tbe odor above al luded to, the barrel was opened, and found to con tain tbe remains of a man cut up in pieces. Tbe deceased, from appearances, was young, healthy ani flosby. He had a cut on tbe back of tbe bead. . Jf. y Com. Claiming the Credit.—We take the followii g from tho Belfast (Ireland) Morning New* : "To our Ueod.en.-H was stated aome months ago, and it is now repeated, that Mr. Buchanan the new American President, is a native of Omsgb, couutyi Tyrone. We shall feel obliged to any ot our readers who *hall give us reliable particular* on this topic." Tbe "Belfast New*'' will find that it is mistaken aid that Mr. Buchanan is a "native American." Floating Ice.—Tbe Harrisburg Herald states that the Susquehanna is filled with floating ice, Should the present weather continue for a few days the river willbe entirely closed. Death of a London Publisher—The Lo«- don Illustrated Times announces tbe death of Mr. Daniel Bogue, the well known London pub lisher, and one of the chief proprietors of that journal. Hi* death was quite sudden. A Recruit fok Walker —We learn from the New Orleans Delta that Captain O'Hara, of Ae United States army, bat tendered bis reaigoatioa, ia order to join Geu.

An axtra of tba Waterford, Ireland, Newt, of the 19th lit, contain* tbefparticulara of (a terrible ac cident on the Waterford and KQkanny Railroad. 1 ' * number of mm who wereem ployed ballasting the line above the aeene of the calamity, were atanding In Inrrya, with an engine attached, awaiting on the aide rail the arrival of tbe mail train from Dublin, to proceed to their work, bnt on tbe approach of tbe latter, which eon slated of the engine and tender, followed by two good* wagon*, two .passenger carriage*, flrat and second class, and three good* train* bringing np the rear, the engine driver observed that tbe point* were not regulated to let his train on the main line, *™ aeeing a collision inevitable, he (hooted with all hi* might to tbe men on the stationary train to jump off, which he did himself, and the colliaion immediately took place. The working men in the stationary train jump ed from the lorry, and a high embankment being at the side they rushed to, ail tumbled beck again, were caught by the train and cut to atoms—four bad their heads cut completely off, and one, who waa tbe only victim that .bowed any signs of life after tbe collision, had his arms cut off. Human efforts most fail to accurately describe thia ap palling picture—brains, blood and entrails of men, pieces of carriages and engines, goods and lug gage, are everywhere visible, and all present a scene too terrible for contemplation. The engine driver, who fortunately leaped on to tbe aide of tbe track where the down train should have pass ed, escaped almost unhurt Tbe engine of the down train, with tender and goods wagon, were smashed to atoms—the tender, on our viewing it, being standing on the end. The following are the names of the five men who were killed: John Kennedy, Patrick Murphy, John Hudson, James Myers and Martin Doyle. The man Kennedy lay in a ditch bounding one aide of the line, with his skull amaahed in, out of which might be seen protruding the nufortunate man's brains; another lay longitudinally on the track, with the wheel of the engine through ha back, literally cut in two, and having his head com pletely severed from his body; while a third man m<ght be seen with both arms off. The remaining two men bad also their heads severed from their bodies, and under the wagona adjacent, could be aeen, strewed abont, fragments of the brains of the men. All those killed, were laborers who had come to Tbomastown, and were employed in bal lasting the line. The unfortunate man, Hudson, lived for some few minutes after the accident oc curred, but expired before the arrival of the cler gyman who bad been sent for He left a wife and six children to deplore bis untimely fate.

The Accident on the Pittsburg andClkvi* land Railroad— Shocking Particulars.— The following are the additional particulars in re gard tejthe dreadful accident on the Cleveland and Pittsbrtijg Railroad Monday: The I.o'clock and 20 minutes Cleveland train for Pittsburg ran through the l'ittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago train at Alliance, smashing two pas senger ears of the latter train. One of the cars was thrown in the rotunda of the station and another through the public room, which constitutes a part of Soarbeck's Hotel, in which sevtral persoms were sitting.

Several witnesses who were examined testified that the Cleveland train ran into the town at a fearful rate of speed—at least 35 miles par hour. The> conductor of the Fort Wayne train supposed that It wouid be checked in time, according to the rules of the road, but it seemed to increase in speed as it came forward, without sounding either wbis tie or bell ' When the collision occurred, it caused a fearful wreck. None of those in the Fort Wayne train were killed, but three were injured. All the wounded are doiDg well.

Annual Report —Mr Harvie, at the request ot President Witeber, read the Annual Report, a ay nopsia of which we here subjoin: President WiTCHaa's repoit is very krief and clear, and maka* a. very aatiafaetory exhibit of the affsirj of tba road. He congratulates the company upon the cemp.etion of thetr work, by which be says the con dition of the company's s(fairs have been greatly im proved, and incalculable benefit conferred upon the country through which the rosd passe*. The value of land h*s bean materially enhanced and the prodae tions of that section of the State wonderfully auc mented. * • During the last year the floating debt of the com pany baa been reduced from <134,481 to $78,724; and since tbe eloae of the fiscal year it ha* been reduced to abont $45.n0» The registered bonds unsold at tbe last annual meeting have been disposed of on the reme terms aa the former sales, and the bonds of Pittsylvania and Henry have been sold at 80 cents in the dollar. There are $24,980 of delinquent stock •bout one half of which m*y be realiied by a tale of the stock. Tb* grow receipts of the road the psat year, sr*» 61 The expenaea were 213,493 88 Leaving a nett profit of. •208,168 7J being 49 35-100 per cent, of the irroae amount. The road waa opened to Danville only on the Ist of July. To the transportation account baa been charged about 880 «•—a lossineurred by a collision en the road on the 12th January last, and by the destruction of the depot in this -city on the same day. Tbe depot may be rebuilt for $15,000; but tbe Directors have taken as yet no step on tbe subjeet. The arrangements for the prompt transportation and delivery of freights have been steadily improv ing, and with the new and well constiucted depots, nearly finished, tbe President hopes the freight busi ness will be areatiy facilitated. There are 63 miles of flat bar rail on the Danville road, which tbe President thinks should be. at the proper time, replaced by the heavy U rail. He, nev ertheless, suggests that this be postponed until after ICSO, when the $400,0C0 falling due in '59-'6O will be provided for. He estimates that by that time thia debt will be paid, besides sn annual dividend of 3 per cent, to the stockholders This estimate ia baaed uoontbe suopositioo that the nett annual profit of the road will be $150,000, which will probably be exceeded. in conclusion, President Witcher congratulates the Company thrt not one of th* thouaanda of passen gers travelling over their rosd ever y*t lost life or limb upon it, and that while tbe roed annually trans ports millioas of dollars worth of property, aodmoie than $400,000 are yearly collected and disbursed by its agents, bnt two cases of delinquency have re curred within the last three yeara : one, amounting to $225, has since been adjusted; the other, to $2- 072.52. is yet in arrear. and suit hss been brought upon the delinquent's official bond.

Thomas B Carter, John W. Wright* Isaac W. AValker and Nath. C. MeGee qualified ai deputies under the new Sheriff, Mr. I*. P. Winston, whose term of office commences on the Ist day of January, 1357. Under the law, aa it stood before the last session of the General As sembly, the term of Mr. Thomas W. DoeweU, the present Bberiff, would have expired on the Ist day of July last; bnt the Legislative to and it expe dient, during the last winter, to enact that the terms of the Sheriffs then in office, should net ex pire until the end of the current year, and that the terms of the Sheriffs elected in May. 1056, shook! commence the Ist of January, 1857. On the Ist day of January next, Mr. Doswell will have severed his connection with the Sheriff alty of this city—a connection which has existed for a considerable length of time, with great credit to bim aa an offioer, and with entire satisfaction to the community which he baa served. We there fore take pleasure in Baying to him, for ourselves and his constituency, upon the close of his offisial career, ''well done thou good and faithful servant." While the Commonwealth has been made to suffer, in late years, to the extent of thousands, by de faulting collectors, she has never known as boar's delay in the receipt of ber dues from the Sheriff of Richmond. Prompt in all his official acts, yet kind and obliging in the discharge of his duties, the public have suffered no hindrance or unneces sary delays at his hands—but whatever he has been required to perform, he has done with a deli cacy, yet flrmneaa, which baa won for him the good will of ail who have transactions with him. As Sheriff of Henrico, underthe old Constitution, and of Richmond, under the new, Mr. Doswell has served our citizens most faithful for ten years past, and now that be ia about retiring to private life, it is but just that he should receive the com mendation of that public for whom he has labored so zealously and efficiently.
