Deg~ Three Jcws-two of them occupying
high places in the synagogue, and known as
the Rabbi ASCH and the Rabbi ROsENTHALL-
have been arrested in New York, on an accu-
sation supported by the leading Rabbi of the
Jews in that City, charging them with acting
as agents of the Prussian, Hamburg and Sax
ony lotteries. Sergeant BIRNEY, with a por-
tion of the Mayors squad, descended" on the
residences of the accused, Wednesday night,
and arrested two of them. One Rabbi was
seized in the Synagogue, in Allen-Street, where
he was engaged in religious exercises, before a
congregation of some 800 or 400 persons. The
Jews were greatly excited, and denounced the
incursion into their temple, and the audacity
of the person who had accused their priest of
wrong-doing. One of the accused was not ar
rested till Friday morning, when all three were
brought before the Mayor, and admitted to
bail in 81 900.

propriety of our Government interfering to
check the slave trade, as carried on by the
other nations. While the navy of the United
States may, under the Constitution, be charg-
ed with preventing slave trade between the

SINGULAR AccIDENT.-The Ogdensburgh
Journal tells a strange incident. The engineer
of the P. NJ. train from Potsdam Thursday
last, while crossing the Hoton Bridge" near
Antwerp, observed the singular spectacle of
man hanging from one Of the beams thereof
The train was stopped, and the matter looked
into. The man had evidently been dead but a
little while 1t was inferred that the man,
while crossing the bridge, with the strapof the
carpet bag around his neck, stumbled and fell
He pitched on one side of the beam md the
bag on the other. The bag balanced the man
and the strap being strong and fast around the
neck, there was no help for him, and in this
singular position he was found. There was no
clue about him that indicated his name or home.
He appeared to be a poor wayfarer, and was
probably under the influence of liquor when he
met with his mishap

electiDg the officers of the two Houses. The
political complexion of the Senate is said to be
as follows: Republicans % anti-Lecompton
Democrats, 16; LecomptOnites 9. The House
was also tied, as between the Democrats and
Republicans, but the antiLecompton Demo
cratic members outnumbered the Lecompton-
ties, in about the same proportion as in the
Senate 1t is considered doubtful whether new
United States Senators will be elected to con-
test the seats of Messrs. BRIGHT and FITcH, on
account of the difficulty of union on caudi-
dates against them; but both branches of the
Legislature have adopted resolutions declaring
their election void and illegal.

the hands Of the superintendent, which he
