a0- The Negro, Geo. Wilson, who
was found guilty of murder, of Captain
William Palmer, of the schooner Eudora
Imogene, was hung on Friday, at
White Plains, Westchester County,
N. Y. Up to the last moment of his
life, he avowed his innocence, and died
without anything more being elected, in
reference to this tragedy, than was
brought out on the trial. About two
thousand people, including quite num-
Der of women, were drawn together from
the surrounding country, and the build
ings and trees in the vicinity of the Jail,
we're crowded with persons eager to
witness the execution. For ten days,
previous to Sunday last, Wilson affected
insanity, and supposed, by so doing, he
would not be hung, but finding that no.
thing could be effected by this, he then
requested Sheriff Little to interposc
with the Governor, and get his sentence
commuted to Imprisonment. He said !:
" If 1 had $500, you very soon would
get the sentence changed"

MAN KILLED BY HIS OWN COFFIN
On Saturday night last, q citizen of New
York was killed in a most singular man
ner. 1t appears that nearly year
ago, the deceased, who was 6fty-three
years of age, became strongly impress.
ed with the idea, that when he should
die, the parsimonious disposition of bis
relatives would lead them to put him
in cheap coffin, while he had a strong
desire to be buried in one Of polished
rosewood, lined with white satin, and
trimmed with silver. Soon after this
strange idea got possession of his mind.
be discovered an elegant coffin in one
Of the principal warehouses, which
suited him. He purchased it for $75;
had it sent to his residence at nightfall,
and slowed it away in small closet ad.
joining his bedroom, where it remained
till the time of the accident. How it
occurred is not known to a certainty,
for the first intimation the family had
of the lamentable occurrence was from
a servant, who on going to call him to
breakfast, found the door wide open and
the deceased lying upon tho floor, dead,
with his coffin at his side. She scream
ed, which soon brought the family. and
on raising the body the skull was found
crushed in upon the brain. On exam
lining the closet, bottle containing a
quantity of sherry wine was found, and
as Saturday night was excessively warm,
be is supposed to have gone to the
closet in order to procure the wine, to
use with some ice-water he had on a
small table by his bed side. 1t is
thought that he must have sought for
it in the dark, and by some mistake
upset the coffin, which stood nearly up
right. Becoming sensible that it was
falling, he probably made an effort to
get away, when he fell, and the outer
end struck his head with sufficient
force to fracture his skull, and cause
almost immediate death.

An Imperial COurtship.

The late Emperor Nicholas of Rus
sia, although in public life SO stern and
severe, was an affectionate husband and
father. and in his earlier years, before
his marriage, one Of the most devoted
lovers possible. His courtship is said
to have begun under singular circum.
stances. He had boen residing some
time at the court in Berlin, and when
the appointed time of his departure ar
rived, he discovered that if he returned
to Russia alone, he should leave his
heart behind him in the possession OF
the young Princess Charlotte. AS he
was seated at supper upon what was
supposed the last evening of his visit,
he abruptly told the princess, who was
seated beside him, that he was compell-
cd to leave Berlin the next day-hop-
ing thus to surprise her into some de-
monstration of feeling. Finding this
attack unsuccessful, however, he as
sumcd another plan Of operations, and
knowing that himself and his fair neigh
Dor were objects Of general observation,
he began telling her, but in an appa-
rently uncmbarrassed manner, and
playing with ring the while, that he
had devoted himself during his short
stay there, to making himself acquaint.
cd with her character and disposition
and that he had found in her very
quality that he believed best calculated
to make him happy in welded life, bu,
as they two We're a. that moment the
object of scrutiny to many present, he
would not press her for any reply to his
overtures, but if it was agreeable to her
that he should prolong his stay at her
fathers court, she would, perhaps, have
the goodness to take up the ring he had
in his hand. The ring he then, appa-
rently while playing with the two OBJ
jects, thrust iuto the roll of bread lying
on the table before him, aud went on
seemingly in all sang froid, with his
supper. With an equal appearance of
unconcern, the Princess presently put
out her hand, took up the roll as if mis-
toking it for her own bread, and un-
noticed by the company, withdrew the
ring and put it on her hand. The re.
mainder of her story need not be told
1t is enough to say that he did moi
leave Berlin the next day, and tha,
when he did return to St. Petersburg
he left behind him betrothed bride.

S@ The steamboat, Empire State,
Capt Brayton, met with a most shock
ing accident, when near Point Judith,
on her passage to New York, on Satur-
day evening last. The steam chimney
on the starboard boiler collapsed, there
by forcing all the steam down the Aues
into the fire-room and upon the main
deck, scalding twenty-five persons
Fourteen have since died of their in
juries. The boat Immediately returned
to Fall River, where the best medical
attendance was procured and everything
done for the sufferers that could be. The
remainder Of the passengers were i'm.
mediately forwarded to New York by
the steamer State of Maine.
The conduct of Capt. Brayton and
his officers was most judicious, and had
the effect Of allaying the alarm of those
who apprehended further danger. Pas
sengers desiring to return to Boston,
were furnished with free passages by
Col. Borden, and the steamer State of
Maine, was dispatched to New York
early on Sunday morning, with those
who desired to 90 on. 1t being pro-
posed to raise a subscription for the
sufferers, Col. Borden, promptly assum-
ed whatever expense was necessary in
their behalf
A meeting in reference to the disas-
ter, was held on board the State of
Maine, while on her passage to New
York, at which it was properly resolved
to await an investigation by Coroner's
Jury, before indulging in any censure
in regard to the cause of the calamity
A resolution was adopted, thanking the
stewardess for her presence of mind and
tender attention to the sufferers.

p0- The uptown movement I" in
New York has transferred nearly all the
places of worshi ip to the upper portion
of the city within a few years. The
John street Methodist Church still re-
mains, though strong effort has been
made, and is continued, to change its
location also. Some parties concerned, ,
seem to have no scruples in regard to
their mode of proceeding. The Mirror
of Saturday evening, gives the follow
ing account of a disturbance in conse-
quence:
A disgraceful proceeding took place
yesterday afternoon at the John street,
M. E Church. VIM. Thompson, the
Constable of the Second Ward, attend
ed by some desperate Water street loaf
ers and bullies, went to the church for
the purpose of taking possession
Finding the doors locked-some lady
members being inside, ladder was pro
cured, and they entered by an upper
window. 1t was rumored that Thomp-
son was to receive large sum if he re-
tanned possession until after the Sabbath
Captain Leonard and posse Of Police
soon arrived, and remained outside,
ready to interfere if breach of the
peace occurred. Thompson had occa-
sion to come out of the church, and
was not permitted to re-enter it by the
crowd, and he went off, as it was sup
posed, for reinforcements. In the
evening he returned with a large gang
of men armed with clubs, to try and
force an entrance. AS the gang rushed
in, one Of them struck man stationed
at the door, whereupon the police in
terferred, when the rowdies struck at
the officers, and general fight cnsued.
The officers clubbed them to their
hearts, content, and they soon scat
tered. The result is that the down.
towners have possession, and will, no
doubt keep it until the 9th of August,
when the election for trustees will be
held. The Police were around the
church all last night.
