ROCHESTER AND NEW YOKE: 
SATURDAY, MAY 16, 186©. 
NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
New York State. 
The trial of Geo. Cole was concluded last week. 
The closing arguments of the counsel on both sides 
were long, able and very exhaustive. Mr. Tremaine 
made the final plea for the prosecution, beginning 
it on Monday and concluding it on Tuesday, lie 
urged the premeditation and deliberation of the 
murder, and combated the claim of insanity. 
Judge Ingraham’s charge to the Jury was plain 
and forcible. Touching the question of insanity 
he said:—" You must be satisfied that he (the ac¬ 
cused) was so unsound of mind as not to be respon¬ 
sible for his acts. The law looks upon insanity one 
way and the medical profession in another. The 
doctors regard anything as insanity that disorders 
the mind. The law does not bo regard it, but 
holds the man accountable if he knows right from 
wrong.” The Jury were out forty-three hours, and 
failed to agree, the members being six for conviction 
and six for acquittal. There being no possibility of 
any agreement, the Judge discharged them from fur¬ 
ther consideration of the case. A new trial will prob¬ 
ably be ordered, with a change of venue. 
The Legislature, after an active and eventful ses¬ 
sion, exceeding by three weeks Ihe time for which 
itsEmembers receive compensation from the State, 
adjourned on Wednesday afternoon, the 8th inst. 
There was a considerable rush of business in the 
closing hours, but this did not interfere with the 
usual scenes of boisterousness and hilarity that 
characterize the legislative adjournment sine die. 
One of the last acts of the Senate, was io pass the 
Tax Levy bill for New York county, and the bill ap¬ 
propriating $250,000 aid to tne Susquehanna Rail¬ 
road. The Governor’s veto of the Sheriffs’ fee bill 
was sustained—for the veto 11, and against it 20, 
not two-thirds. The Assembly concurred in the 
Senate’s amendments to the State Prison contract 
bill. 
Mr. 1L J. Messenger, a well-known banker, who 
has for many years resided at Cortlandville, and had 
banks at that place, at Canton and at Canandaigua, 
and banking houses in New York city, Marathon and. 
Herkimer, suspended payment last week. The fail- 
tire is said to be for about half a million dollars. 
The cause was considerable losses in stock specula¬ 
tions, the failure of a New York city firm dealing in 
dairy products, involving Mr. Messenger to the 
amount of about a hundred thousand dollars, and a 
loss of nearly the same amount in an overland en¬ 
terprise. 
An infant son of Mr. Gibbons of Utica, fell into a 
cistern on Saturday, and was drowned. 
Joseph Dubritski, a Pole, fatally wounded his wife 
in New York on Friday, and then blew out his own 
brains because of a fit of jealousy. 
A tornado visited Hudson River, near Cold Spring, 
on Saturday, capsizing one vessel, throwing another 
on her beam cuds, and driving three others ashore 
on Stony Point. The gale came so quickly that the 
vessels were nearly all struck with their sails set. 
Four hundred and eighty-two deaths occurred in 
New York last week. 
The schooner Mary Ann was burned to the water’6 
edge on Sunday evening at Weeliawken; loss $25,000. 
The bill providing for a new Capitol was amended 
somewhat by the Legislature, aDd several additional 
Commissioners uamed. The Board, as itnow stands, 
is composed of Hamilton Harris, John V. L. Pruyn 
Win. A. Rice of Albany; O. 13. Latham of Seneca 
Falls; A. B. Cornell of Ithaca; James Terwilliger of 
Syracuse; John T. Hudson of Buffalo, and .James S. 
Thayer of Troy. 
From Washington. 
The last argument for the President was made 
by Mr. Stanbery, and was concluded on the 2d inst. 
His physical condition was such that he pronounced 
only part of his speech; the remainder was read 
by bis secretary. No especially new points were 
elicited. 
Mr. Bingham commenced the final summing up 
for the prosecution on Monday, continued through¬ 
out Tuesday, and closed on Wednesday. He opened 
his speech before one of the most anxious, brilliant 
and appreciative audiences of the season, which ac¬ 
corded him a most respectful and close attention 
until recess, and afterwards until adjournment. lie 
spoke from brief written notes, to which he was not 
obliged to refer except when quoting authorities or 
precedents, and, consequently, his speech had all the 
effect of an extemporaneous elibrt. On Tuesday 
galleries, aisles, and doorways were jammed with 
spectators. It was evident that the ticket system 
had been flanked in some way, but the ingenuity of 
the door-keepers failed to ascertain precisely how. 
The order, however, was unexceptionable. 
The Senate, in secret session, Thursday, the 7th 
inst., decided to adjourn until Monday, the 11th, 
and that the verdict should be taken on Tuesday 
noon, May 12, the Chief Justice to pat the question 
on the various charges in such a manner as he may 
deem most expedient for ascertaining the opinions 
of Senators. Permission was given to Senators to 
file written opinions of the case on or before Thurs¬ 
day next. 
A bill for the admission of Arkansas was reported 
to the House on Thursday, by Mr. Stevens of Pa. 
On Friday, after a lively debate of an hour and a 
half, in which Messrs. Paine of Wisconsin, Pike of 
Missouri, Spalding of Ohio, Stevens of Pa., and 
others took part, the bill was passed by a vote of 
110 yeas to 32 nays, ^provides for the admission 
of the State on condition that its Constitution shall 
not be so amended or changed as to deprive any per¬ 
son or class of persons of the United States of the 
right to vote by the Constitution herein recognized 
except as a punishment for such crimes as are now 
felonies at common law, whereof he shall have been 
duly convicted. 
After the passage of the Arkansas bill, Mr. Paine 
reported a similar bill for the admission of South 
Carolina, which was ordered to be printed. 
Mr. Shanks of Indiana, introduced a joint resolu¬ 
tion to declare the officers elected in South Carolina 
to be the Provisional Government of that State 
which was referred to the Committee on Recon¬ 
struction. 
The Ways and Means Committee have finished the 
tax bill. Among the new features of the bill is one 
makiDg the Revenue Department entirely separate 
from the Treasury, and giving the Commissioner 
6upreme'*power over the whole subject of making 
the appointments, and holding him alone to the re¬ 
sponsibility of collecting the revenue. 
Mr. Seward and the British Minister are engaged 
on a treaty relative to naturalized citizens, and it is 
nearly ready to submit to the Senate. 
A personal controversy took place in tne House 
last week between Messrs. Washliume and Don¬ 
nelly. It was very bitter, and wholly out of char¬ 
acter. A committee has been appointed to Investi¬ 
gate charges and counter charges, and decide which 
one of the parties was most blame-worthy. 
From the West. 
A terrific tornado occurred at Shanghai, Ill., 
on the 3d inst. Fourteen houses were blown down, 
and also two churches. Service was being held in 
one of the churches at the time of the. catastrophe, 
and the Ecene presented was most appalling. A sin¬ 
gular darkness preceded the hurricane, and there 
was thought of closing service, to allow those pres¬ 
ent to return to their homes before the impending 
storm should burst forth,— but in an instant the 
building began to rock to and fro in tbe gale, and 
directly it fell in pieces, the steeple and roof crash¬ 
ing down upon the frightened assemblage. Four 
persons were killed and over forty more or less in¬ 
jured. 
The Springfield and London Railroad, with all its 
fixtures, was sold at SpriDgfleld, O., recently by the 
U. S. Marshal to Jacob W. Pierce of Boston, for 
$ 100 , 000 . 
The Attorney General of California decides that 
mining claims must be taxed like other private 
property in accordance with the late State and Su¬ 
preme Courts. This will add largely to the rev¬ 
enue of many counties. 
Several earthquake shocks were felt in California 
about the period of the outbreak in the Hawaiian 
Islands. 
The dwelling of Dr. Hall, at Piqua, O., was en¬ 
tered by burglars on Thursday morning, and the 
Doctor and hiB wife so badly beaten that their lives 
are in danger. No clue has been obtained of the 
perpetrators. 
A woman by the name of Miller threw herself on 
the trac k in front of a freight train three miles east 
of Plymouth, Ind., on Monday evening, at about 
half-past six, and was instantly killed. 
In Jersey, Ill., John Brady was sentenced last 
week, to 99 years in the penitentiary, for killing 
Thomas Swabbe. 
A very violent wind storm, amounting to almost 
a hurricane, swept over 8t. Louis and vicinity, on 
the 6th inst., doing great damage to property. Two 
ferry boats were driven from the levee on to a saud 
bar, and a steamer upon the dry dock was turned 
keel upward and seriously damaged. The hurricane 
extended into Iowa, and near Muscatine made havoc 
with houses and barns. The dwelling of Mr. Miller, 
near Cedar River, seemed to be taken iu piecemeal 
and carried oil, together with every article of furni¬ 
ture, bedding, clothing, Ac. Mr. Miller and bis 
family were fortunately away from home at the 
time, which probably saved their lives. A large 
frame church building, valued at $3,000, was liter¬ 
ally lifted from it* foundations and scattered to the 
four winds. A brick school house, near the church, 
worth about $1,500, suffered the same fate. 
The Indians made another attack on the Union 
Pacific Railroad, Kansas branch, near West Cayake 
on the 9th inst. They burned three car loads of 
freight and tore down the telegraph wires, and then 
moved towards Cayake. Two companies of cavalry 
have been ordered from Fort Hayes to pursue the 
Indians. Other posts along the line have been 
notified of the condition of aflalrs. 
The Methodist General Conference assembled at 
Chicago last week. The question of the admission 
of Southern delegates was discussed some time. 
From the Sontb. 
A cyclone on Wednesday of last week passed 
over a portion of Davidson and Williamson counties, 
south of Nashville, Tenn. Its path was half a mile 
wide, and for some ten miles houses, trees and 
fencing on the route were destroyed. A Mr. Cham- 
bley and one of his children were killed, and his 
wife and three other children badly injured. The 
house they were in was lifted up and carried a dis¬ 
tance of three hundred yards. 
The Protestant Episcopal Convention met in Sa¬ 
vannah on the 8th Inst. About twenty churches

next Convention will meet in Augusta in May next. 
The Mississippi Convention is engaged in revising 
the Constitution, but making no material changes. 
No proposition has been made to adjourn. 
The Southern press association met at Augusta, 
Ga., on the 6th inst. The Montgomery, Columbus, 
Atlanta, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Macon, Augusta, 
Savannah and Charleston papers were represented. 
The official accounts show, that according to the 
incomplete returns received, the majority for the 
ratification of the Constitution in Arkansas is 1,316, 
Gen. Gillem says, had the election been conducted 
in strict compliance with genera' order No. 7, the 
adoption of the Constitution would have been in¬ 
disputable, but there were many irregularities in 
votiug, in several counties, and each party charges 
the other with fraud. 
Ex-Gov. Hamilton of, Texas says that not less than 
two hundred and fifty Union men have been mur¬ 
dered in that State since the appointment of Gen. 
Hancock to the command of the Fifth Military Dis¬ 
trict. This iB the general tenor of the news from 
the South. 
A duel was fought at Baltimore one day last week 
between Connt de Lattum of the Prussian Lega¬ 
tion, aud Gen. A. Gal] 2 tine Lawrence of Rhode 
Island. But one shot was fired, and that was in¬ 
tentionally fired high, and Gen, Lawrence did not 
fire at all. 
The Virginia Republican Convention at Richmond 
nominated A. M. Crane of Winchester, for Con¬ 
gressman at large, and Geo. W. Booker of Henry, 
for Attorney General. George Yeoman, (a negro,) 
J. H. Pratt, John Hauxburst and Cfias. Whittlesey 
were appointed delegates at large to the Chicago 
Convention. 
A duel with rifles was fought in Oberlin county, 
Tenn., some days since, in which one of the princi¬ 
pals was shot dead at the second fire, and the other 
wounded in the arm. The duel was the climax of a 
family feud. 
The prospect for a large sugar crop in Louisiana 
is excellent. Last year the crop was only about 
40,000 hogsheads, one-tenth what it was before the 
From the Sandwich Islands. 
A series of severe earthquake shocks and 
volcanic eruptions last month wrought fearful havoc 
among life and property around Mauna Loa. The 
bark Cornet brings to San Francisco accounts of the 
awful catastrophe. On the 27th of March Ihe 
mountain began its demonstrations, and the next 
day one hundred earthquake shocks were felt. 
Daring the two weeks following, to April 13th, two 
thousand shocks occurred. At Walschina, the earth 
opened in many places, and a tidal wave sixty feet 
high rose over the tops of the cocoa trees for a 
quarter of a mile inland, sweeping human beings, 
houses, and everything movable before it. A 
terrible shock prostrated churches aud houses, and 
killed mauy persons. In all one hundred lives were 
lost, besides a thousand horses and cattle. The 
craters emitted fire, rocks and lava, and a river of 
red hot lava five or six miles long (lowed seaward at 
the rate of ten miles per hour, destroying everything 
before it, and forming an island in the sea. A new 
crater, two miles wide, opened, and threw rocks aud 
streams of fire a thousand feet high. 
An island rose suddenly, three miles from the 
shore. It was throwu up to tbe higbt of four hun¬ 
dred feet, and is joined to the main land by a stream 
of lava a mile wide. Bottomless fissures opened in 
the mountain side; and a lava stream, flowing UDder 
the ground, broke out in four jets, several miles in¬ 
land, and threw lava and stones 1,500 feet high. 
Numerous extensive land slides accompanied the 
other phenomena, destroying life aud property. The 
summit and side of a hill, fifteen hundred feet in 
bight, were thrown a thousand feet over the tops 
of trees and landed in the valley below. A large 
stream of water has burst from the mountain where 
tbe earth eruption occurred. The base of the vol¬ 
cano is about thirty miles in circumference and is 
desolated. At least half a million dollars’ worth of 
property is destroyed. 
Latent Forelgu luteUlgence, 
Gen. Nagle and the other Fenian prisoners who 
were captured on board the Jacmel packet, “Erin’s 
Hope,” some time since, and imprisoned, have been 
released from confinement., having previously given 
tbe authorities the pledges required. 
The Irish Laboring Men’s Association of Dublin 
have nominated George Francis Train for President

It is reported that the Princess Louise, the fourth 
daughter and sixth child of Queen Victoria, has been 
contracted in marriage to Christian Frederick Wil¬ 
liam Charles, Prince Royal, aud heir apparent to the 
throne of Denmark. 
Political matters in England are in a very excited 
state. The recent severe defeat of the Ministry in 
Parliament caused Di.-raeli to tender his resignation 
to the Queen, but it was not accepted, In the House 
of Commons on the 4th inst. another long debate 
took place, in which the Premier spoke for himself 
and his administration. lie stated that Her Majesty 
had not only declined hie tendered resignation, but 
had urged him not to dissolve Parliament at present, 
till an appeal could he made to the new constituen¬ 
cies, and this ho hoped to do with the aid of the 
House. 
He was replied to by Mr. Gladstone and John 
Bright in sharp and telling speeches. The former 
6aid it was unprecedented that a Ministry which 
had been beaten by sixty-five majority should talk 
of dissolving Parliament. It might be right to elect 
a new Parliament to settle the question of the Irish 
Church, but its first duty when chosen would be to 
settle the Ministry itself. Mr. Bright showed the 
inconsistencies of the Tories, noted the variation of 
opinions among the members of the Cabinet, and 
said that an adverse vote was no disgrace to a Min¬ 
istry, but to hold office after such a vote was. 
There was no reason why the constitutional prac¬ 
tice should be dispensed with in favor of Mr. Dis¬ 
raeli, who knew well enough that uo Irish or Scotch 
Reform Bill, not of a nature to suit the Irish and 
Scotch Liberals, could pass the Rouse. 
Lord Brougham died last week at Cannes, in the 
South of France, where he has of late resided. For

1830, and has held the office of Lord Chancellor.

About the middle, of last week money was light and up a 
little in New York, but at the close there was much greater 
ease than has existed for some time. The New York EveniDg 
Post of Saturday says:—"The money market remains easy, 
with motley in lull supply, the general rate on call loans to 
large dealers being 6 per cent. The street arc generally an¬ 
ticipating that the footings of the weekly bank return of to¬ 
day will show differences lr. some columns as remarkable as 
that of last. week. Certain it. is that the flow of money lias 
been to this city all the week, with light drafts from tbe 
country; it is believed, also, that tbe aggregate of loans, if 
not diminished for the week, has not largely increased. Gov. 
ernments are m fair demand this morn leg. Dealers remark

Gold for a lew days has been more active and the premium 
rose last week to something above 40. The near approach of 
the decision on the question of Impeachment, and au antici¬

Of May 1st, It appears that the amount of gold belonging to 
the public Treasury on the 1 st lust.., was $60,000,000, a reduc¬ 
tion of about $21,000,000 since the first of April. A further 
reduction is anticipated lu the treasury gold balance. July

Track st the E ast. —Eastern trade has been only fair tbe 
last week. Unfavorable weather is assigned as the cause of 
light sales in the Dry Goods line. 
Cotton.— Toward the close of last week the market was 
dull, under unfavorable advices from Manchester. The ex¬ 
ports continue large, while the receipts at Southern ports are 
falling of. Mauuiiiclurera purchase sparingly. 
Wool.- Manufacturers and others are beginning to talk 
about tbe coming wool clip, t hough It will be some time be¬ 
fore It will be. in market. The snpply of old wool, particu¬ 
larly of tho low Bud medium grades, is pretty nearly ex¬ 
hausted in the markets of Philadelphia, Now York and 
Boston. There Is a little remaining in tho hands of operators 
In the Interior, but the amount is not believed to be largo. 
There is scarcely any In tho possession of producers. 
The sales last week in Boston were only to tbe extent of 
673,000 lbs., at about former rates. Manufacturers have no 
disposition to purchase: they are. selling very few goods 
and arc not roamifactniing to any extent. They do not 
intend to manufacture ahead of the market domain!. 
The Woolen Goods Market Is still dull, but there does not 
seem to be a large stock in the mills, The Boston Bulletin 
Of Saturday says:—“ The old stocks of heavy woolens,both 
foreign and domestic, have been mostly cleared out of the 
market. The fresh products of home manufacturers and 
Importers are being exhibited to purchasers; and, though 
the demand Is as yet a little premature, the confidence in 
regard to the comlug full trade Is such that there is no dif¬ 
ficulty in placing fair sized lots at remunerative prices." 
Many anticipate an advance in woolens in June, that will 
have a material effect on tbe price of this season’s wool clip. 
Coal,—T he Pennsylvania markets are dull, and a further 
reduction in price may he anticipated. Heavy buyers at the 
East are, however, contracting for their yearly snpply. 
Petroleum is Higher, for both crude and refined. There 
is an advance in the European markets, which is having a 
tendency to induce speculation. 
Butter.—T he market in New York and Boston is much 
better supplied than for some time past, aud prices are shad¬ 
ing down. 
Cukksk is quiet and unchanged. Small lots of new begin 
to appear in the Little Falls market. 
“Whkat and Flour.— There is little or no animation in the 
Wheat and Flour markets at the East. The supplies are not 
large; operators are carefully noting the shipments from the 
West. The receipts of Wheat, Flour and Corn are now quite 
liberal at Buffalo. 
Tnit Local Market, this week, shows some changes. 
Pork is firm, at an advance of $1 per barrel, while Cut 
Meats show a corresponding appreciation. Butter tends 
downward slightly, though the supply as yet is rather limit¬ 
ed. Barley is a shade better, with but little ottering, and not 
much disposition to purchase. Small lots are taken at quo¬ 
tations. The Wool market continues dull, with but scatter¬ 
ing parcels offering. A lot of 000 llts.. two years old,medium 
grade, sold for 37 ‘.c. Good samples are nominal at 41c. It 
Is anticipated that when the new clip comes lu more activity 
will be manifested, but what the ruling rate will be Is matter 
of conjecture.
