Three men lately went Into Judge Cowan's tunnel at WaliGO, sixteen hundred feet long, and were smothered. Two men, names unknown, were killed recently by the caving of banks while they were mining. Two others were badly injured at Sand Hill, below Poverty Bar. Jacob Ellyca, for the killing of Wm.

McWade, has been convicted of murder in the first degree, at Stockton. A man named John Taylor, a foreman in the Pacific Foundry, whilst in the act of striking a piece of iron upon an anvil in that catablislffcent, fell down dead. The deceased was a native of New York and aged 80 years. General James M. Estill, a prominent citizen of California, and formerly lessee of the State prisons, and a member of the Legislature, died on the 26th of April.

A young Mexican, residing with his father in Marysvillc, attempted to shoot the old man on Tuesday. He accused his father of stealing a mule, and shot at him. An Englishman's Idea of Fbazer River.

Mrs. Gardner Case of Sacramento, has applied for a divorce rom her husband, and asked for the custody of their two children.

Case took the children to San Francisco and sent them off on the jiVftuxa Wliiitunlmifgn htt cfttuc to rejoice in the public spirit of. Its ferry proprietors, whoin their desire to accommodate the phblie arc restricted only bythe subdivisions of the "coin of the realm. The Peck Slip and James Slip ferries have been run for some time at one cent, and now the James Slip Company has come down to half a cent that is, you can go to New York and back for one cent. The necessity for small coins is here apparent, and should be taken into the consideration at the mint, for if a man wants to New York, and pays one cent on this side, he is under the necessity of coming back again to get the worth of his money. But as the fellow who was ridden on a rail complained, it is very cheap, but wretchod accommodation.

The boats arc of the most antique style, built before water tight roofs were invented, and the ferry houses are mere wood sheds. The South Sth street and Peck Slip Company still charge one cent, and express a determination not to come down. They rely upon their superior accommodations; their new slip and ferry house are about a quarter of a century in advance of the old ferry, and about as much behind the requirements of the present era. But they have four new boats nearly nuished; two very good ones have been purchased from the Union Ferry Company, and the New York slip is to be overhauled, and the ferry houses rebuilt. The new Company manifests a liberal and enterprising spirit in striking contrast with the narrow, selfish policy of the old Wall and Laytin monopoly.

Their efforts have been appreciated by the public of "Williamsburgh; South 7th street looks deserted, and no amount of reduction will save the doomed concern. Sympathy for Italv. The people of New jrk divide their time between lionising celebrities, or sympathising with somebody. Having used up all the available notorieties, Piccolomini, Morphy and Smith O'Brien having turned their backs on the city, the people are going into the sympathy line on the war question. Sympathy for Italy is now the rage, and taking the hint from Count Cavour, is assuming a 'material' shape.

A grand entertainment is forthcoming at the Academy of Music, to start the fund; all the Italian artists have volunteered their services in the cause of freedom, and will issue their dulcet notes in exchange for American eagles, that will fly on golden wings to the succor of the legions of Victor Emmanuel. idmintithm Sfto a euno(j; cose of.aB&edfflDw jkjfc sotnug, wjMch, soma of its, rarcsSfbearsSit close resemoiance to a case oi tne same sorLrecent ly tried In this city: "The parties, however, In' the English case occupied a higher social position, and their relation to each other was of recent origin and questionable character. The decensed, it appeared, who was a lady of 43, went last Autumn to live in a boarding house at Bayswater, near London, where ehe became acquainted with one Smcthurst, a surgeon, who was living in the same house with a lady much older than himself, who passed as his wife, and, for aught that appears, was so. After a time, the deceased, who was a maiden lady, removed to another board i A XT l. lug uuucu lit uviguuumuuu.

xicrc miu as joined by and subsequently thev left together, the deceased giving no notice of her in tentions, or where she was going, to a sister, her only relative with whom she was on good terms, and who frequently visited her at Bayswater, where the deceased had introduced her to Dr. Smcthurst. It appears, however, that the dav af ter leaving Bayswater the deceased and Smethurst were mamea. at tfattcrsca Church, whence they went to live at Richmond as Dr. and Mrs.

Smcthurst. Here the lady, who, beside a life interest in a considerable sum, had eight or nine thousand dollars which she was entitled to dispose of by will, was taken sick with diarrhea and vomitinsr. Dr. Smethurst attended her with great assiduity and apparent affection, insisting upon giving her food himself, and disinclined, apparently, that anybody else should do so. Her sister, with whom she had reopened a correspondence, was informed of her sickness, but also, that though her sister desired to see her, she did not wish her to stay.

On this visit the deceased complained of the taste of the tapi oca with which she was fed, and wished her sister to prepare some lor her, nut she was prevented bv Smcthurst, under various pretences, and when she afterward prepared some soup, Smethurst found pretences for taking it Into another room before the patient could bo allowed to cat It. Two medical gentlemen of Richmond were call ed iu to attend upon the patient, but as the disease baffled all their skill, and as they were totally at a loss to account for the extraordinary symptoms that showed themselves, they proposed nnally to send for Dr. Todd, who, it appears, is at the head of the English medical profession. After considcr ius; the case. Dr.

Todd privately expressed the opinion that she was suffering under the effects of some poison, autlltlMMCieu in sntll uoscs aim a chemical examination of the secretions betrayed the presence of arsenic and antimony. While the woman was still living, Smethurst was arrested but she was already far gone, and died shortly af ter. A chemical examination ot the stomach, kidneys, and heart, confirmed the suspicion of poison, administered in repeated small doses. Shortly before his arrest, the poisoner had procured the de ceased to execute a win in tier maiden name, gtv ing him her property. When he was arrested, letter was found upon him, readr for posting, di rected to his other wife.

Tribnue, Women or Demons? The court of Assizes of the Doh' ct Cher, three days ago, tried a young woman named Qanthier, and her mother, a widoWj named Rosct for murder. The young woman, 185S, married a man named Ganthier, who had two children by a former wife. She and her mother wanted to make him settle on her, in the event ol his death, the propcrtv he possessed; hut a notary whom they consulted said that he could not do so, so long as the two children lived. On that they brought from the nurse the younger child, who was boy not ayear old. At that time he was quite healthy, but the women gave but little food and compelled him to take considerable quantities of wine and even brandy every day.

The consequence was that he soon became sickly and on the 3rd July he expired. On the l'Jtli of tolOtb ()f January last the two women auaoi'ecci to the bors that the elder child, three years of age, lTad fallen into the fire and burnt herself to death" The neighbors found the dead bodv of the child lying in the grate dreadfully binned, but a medical man who examined. doclared that the little creatine must have been thrown into the fire and pressed with the face downwards until On that the two women were arrested, and the older one, after a while, related, with a revolting effrontery, that she had proposed to her daughter to burn the child to death, that the other had consented, and that she had then thrown the child on the fire. At first," said she, the child cried, but I held her head down until she was silent she struggled a little, and when she was quiet I went away Whilst this murder was being committed, the younger woman was sitting quietly at the door The jury declared the two women guilty, and the court sentenced them to hard labor for life.

The so called Railroad King, Mr. Hudson, or the mud niade man, has been thrown out of Parliament in England. When he was once threatened with the fate which has now overtaken him, he "cried like a child," as he sat in the House contemplating the possibility. A London paper gives some interesting details about this singular man He was originally a liuendraper at York, and might have lived and died as such but the railroad days came, and George Hudson, seeing that there wa. money to be made quicker in the share market than in the draper's shop, rushed into the arena, and not only made money to a fabulous amount, but gained position and power for a time.

He was elected three times Lord Mayor of York was made a magistrate of two divisions of his county, chairman of some half a dozen railroads, and in short, in the railroad world was a king "the Railroad King." It was in 1845 that he was elected member for Sunderland. He was then at the highest point of his elevation and it was then, though he did not know it that he was just about to fail for soon after his election the panic came, and, among thousands of other speculators, pulled down the "Railroad King," and levelled his throne to the dust. His wealth vanished, his noble friends forsook him, his palace was deserted, and had it not been for the constancy of Sunderland, he would long since have dived under and been lpst to view. An American Engineer in the Austrian Service. It is well known that Austria has of late years been strengthening her fortifications in her Italian possessions, and in doing this has shown a proper appreciation of native talent.

One of the most important of her Italian fortifications has been constructed under the, superintendence of an American, Mr. Hamilton E. Towle, who graduated at the Lawrence Scientific School, connected with the Harvard University, and was subsequently employed on the government works at Rouse's Point. Some three years ago he went with hie young and accomplished wife (a graduate of the Cambridge High School) to Austria, for the purpose of erecting extensive fortifications at Pola, on the Adriatic, about ninety miles south of Trieste. The works were nearly completed at the last accounts from Mr.

Towle, and lie hoped soon to be tune to return to nm native country, though he expressed some fears that the French would blockade Pola, and thus his return be prevented. Boston Journal, May 30.

Damage about $1000. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, William E. Moore was tried for the murder of John Wart. The defendant was a sailor, who had married a woman of very loose character. During his" frequent absence at sea, she made herself agreeable to sundry meu, of whom John Van AVart was her noted favorite.

On the 28th March last, Moore, having reached this port from Liverpool, found her in Worth street, in company with Van Wart. Jealousy got the ascendant in Moore's breast; a quarrel ensued, in the. course of which Moore stabbed Van Wart in the abdomen, from the effects of which he died. The evidence yesterday produced failed to show that Moore actually intended to kill Van AVart; and the jury, after a brief absence, returned into Court with a verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the third degree. Sentence was reserved until Saturday.

The Race between Flora Temple and Ethan Allen. The. long talked off trot between Flora Temple and Ethan Allen came ofl'yestorday on the Fashion Course. The multitude present was immense, there being from to 20,000 people on the track. Tlte day was fine, the track in good order, and the horses in excellent condition, though, in fact, the Allen horse looked a little the best fitted for a contest with his great competitor.

It would be needless to give any extended description of either horse, the respective qualities of both being well known throughout the country. Ethan was the winner of $10,000 on the 18th May, when he beat Lantern, both horses trotting with mates. The extraordinary time of 2.24 was then made by the winner. Flora Temple, it is said, has made her mile in 2.23. Thus much for the time of the contestants, who were in.

every way worthy of an effort for the championship. It was evident that the multitude favored the marc, and the hotting in her favor was very large, considerable odds, often two to one, being offered! Yet Allen was, to aU appearances, in the order, while the mare appeared a little tome, and otherwise unfitted to trot. The first heat was the most exciting one of the race. At the word "Go," away darted the horses amid thundering cheers. Ethan took the lead, gallantly kept it for the first half mile, lnaKi "it in 1.11.

Then, unfortunately, he bro Hirim Woodruff, his driver, did all" in voc. to lfl him in ahead, but Talnw who Srove the kept the mare stc. t0 'it( nud 0 the hom tlir was generally pronounced to be 111 TTiost splendid gait ever seen.

The Ethan horse broke on every quarter, and came in two lengths behind the lady, who gallantly lod throughout, making the mile in 2 27 1 2.

The third heat was a reflection of the second. Allen broke badly, and Flora won the heat and race. The following is a summary: Fashion Course, best three in five to waggon. J. I).

The Charleston Convention Again. On the 10th instant a meeting was held at the Astor House, at which prominent Democrats, representing nearly every district in the State, were present, when a committee of one from each district was appointed to confer with thu State Central Committee, in reference to the selection of delegates to the Charleston Convention, and to insist that the selection should be postponed until after the State election. Tis Committee, pf which Fernando Wood was Chairman, communicated with Dean Richmond, Chairman of the State Central Committee, the object and desire of the meeting.

Mr. Richmond returned a polite, but rather evasive reply, that he and his colleagues, whom lie hud consulted, doubted not the Comraittoe would he happy to receive suggestions from these gentlemen; but contrary to expectation, no meeting of the State Committee was called to take any action on the resolutions of the meeting. Yesterday an adjourned meeting was held at the Astor House, Judge Daniel D. Aikins, of Dutchess occupied the chair. The Committee submitted a report, opening with the correspondence with Dean Richmond, and announcing the failure to obtain a formal interview for the purpose of communicating with the State Committee.

The report then sets forth that the object of this and the previous meeting was understood to be thai the time for the selection of the delegates to be chosen to represent Instate of New York, in the Charleston Democratic Presidential Convention, should not be earlie than December next in other words, that the nominating conventions, the political campaign, and the general election of 1S59, be suffered to pass over, without an agitation of Presidential preferences or a strife between the friends of rival names, such as we are threatened with in the Democratic ranks. Disclaiming any partisanship for particular candidates, they were only the advocates of peace and harmony, and only desirous of avoiding the disastrous folly of the State Convention of by throwing New York once more into the hands ol the Republicans, on the threshold of a Presidential election. The report proceeds "That the duties of the regular State Nomina! Conventions do not properly, nor unless by tin universal consent or concurrence of their constituents, include the appointment of delegates to Presidential Conventions, we have many evidences. In 1848, two sets of delegates were sent from this State to Baltimore, one by a separate State Convention called by a legislative caucus; the other chosen by Congressional District Conventions, under authority of a separate State Convention held at Albany in January. "In 1852, a single delegation was chosen to Baltimore by Congressional District Conventions, held in December, 1S51, and ordered by tlte State Committee.

In 1856, double delegations" were sent to Cincinnati; one chosen in ISoo bv a State Nominating Convention, (which course, "however, wtt. recommended and approved of by every newspaper in the State sustaining that organization;) ami the other chosen bv a separate State Convention, held in January, "lS5ti. It will thus be seen that but one out of five Stale Nominating Conventions held in the years preceding Presidential Conventions has proceeded to the appointment of national delegates, and this one in a peculiar instance, and with a unanimous concurrence among its adherents which contrasts strongly with the general dissent expressed by the Democratic people at this time." The action of the Democratic members of the Legislature in carefully confining themselves in their resolutions at the close of the session, to State matters, and ignoring the subject of Federal politics, and for which they had been commended by the newspapers, avowed by the exponents of the views of the State Committee, was quoted, and in conclusion the following was offered for adoption Whereas, The Chairman of the Democratic State Committee expressed a willingness to lay before that body any suggestions that might be offered by individual member's of die party in order to product unity of action: ami. Whereas, the time and maimerof choosing delegates to National Conventions are unfixed and varying, and are matters of much interest and discussion at the present time: and, whereas, it seems essential, to this meeting of Democrats that the choice of delegates should be postponed till after the general election in 1S59. Therefore.

Itesolved, That we respectfully request the Chairman and Secretary of the Democratic State Commute to convene a meeting of said Committoe at an early dav, to take decisive action on this question by an expression ofthe said Committee confining the duties of the next State Convention to the nomination of State tickets, to the end that one united and unimpeded effort may be made to elect Democratic State officers and a Democratic Legislature, and that the great State of ITew York mov be again restored to the brotherhood of Democratic States. After some debate, the resolution was adopted. Another resolution was offered, continuing in existence the committee appointed at the previous meeting, and authorizing it to receive any communication from the State Committee in reference to the election of delegates to Charleston, and to call another meeting of the body at any time it should deem it expedient to do so. And then, with cheers for the party and for the Administration, the meeting adjourned. Praters for Victory.

The arcbishop of Vienna has blessed the arms of the Austrian troops, and the archbishop of Paris has performed the same ceremony for the French legions, and both have prayed for victory for the respective belligerents. As both sides cannot be victorious, this is perhaps only a display of patriotic ardor on the part ofthe bishops, and not to be taken as evidence of faith in the efficacy of their prayers. Both sides certainly cannot be right, and the cause of humanity and the church cannot be promoted whichever side is crowned with victory. The Pope evidently has no great hopes for the Church from cither side in this quarrel, for he prudently maintains a strict neutrality. It is said that on receiving the Duke ofGram jnont afew days ago, as the bearer of a letter from the Emperor Napoleon, promising him it protection, his Holiness, holding up a crucifix, observed, Behold my only support." Some similar answer to this was given by his illustrious predecessor to the first Napoleon, when he offered protection, and afterwards made the Pope captive.

The War and American Shipping. The embarrassing position into which the Queen's Proclamation of neutrality has thrust British shipowners, greatly interests shipping houses here. The United States Government not having subscribed to the propositions of the Paris Congress of lSSG American vessels have a greater freedom reserved for them, than those of the nations that arc parties to that engagement, and the fruits of that freedom will probably be such a demand for American ships and American sailors, as will enable our mercantile marine to work itself out of the slough of ties pond, in which it has been floundering ever since the close of the Crimean war. This at least is the talk on 'Change, but if'thc prospect is promising, it is not without its drawbacks. Our shippers arc not likely to be over particular as to loading commodities contraband of war, and for which they will be overhauled by the JFrench cruisers, if they go to the Mediterranean.

Then "outrages upon American vessels" will ring from one end of the Union to the other, and the result may be that we shall find ourselves "counted in" the fight, even before John Bull has received a challenge. The Post says the Police of the 16th precinct captured forty tin fish horns on Monday night, for violation of the city ordinances about fish vending.
