Sad accident. --Yesterday morning, as the steamer A. H. Schultz, Captain D. J. Hill, was on her return from Windsor Shades to this city, and when about two miles from the former place, on the Chickshominy river, a painful accident occurred, which resulted in the almost immediate death of the Engineer, Mr. Jacob S. Walton. Juwenty minutes thereafter. Mr. Walton was originally from Pennsylvania, but his wife and two children now reside in Norfolk, to which place his remains will be conveyed to-day by Capt. Hill. Mr. W. was a temperate, industrious man, and enjoyed not only the entire confidence of Capt. Hill, but the company by whom he was employed. wenty minutes thereafter.

City Council. --An adjourned meeting of the Council was to have been held at the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, to take up and act upon the amended city charter, but as only Messrs. Saunders, Gratian, Crutchfield, Burr, Anderson and Hill attended, nothing could be done for want of a quorum. The members present, after consultation, agreed to meet next Thursday afternoon, when it is hoped the absentees will attend promptly, and dispose of the public business. If the charter is to be amended, and it certainly needs it, there is no time to be lost, as the Legislature is to meet at an early day in January, and will get through the work before them with the least possible delay.
