bridge, near Oakdale, and fell asleep The morn

struck him on the hip. The steps on one side of

some damage was done to the bridge where Johns

SAD RESULT OF CRIME.-It will we recollected by
our readers that a short time since we announced
the arrest of young man named Joseph NJ.
Rogers, charged with defrauding his EMPLOYERS,
Hindman brothers, in this city, and sending the
stolen property to his mother at Seneca Falls 1t
appears that he had a mania for stealing and had
carried on petty thieving for upwards of two years.
Up to the time of his arrest he bore good charac-
ter and his conduct had been such that his employ
ers placed the utmost reliance upon his integrity
and honesty. For four days past, while confined in
Jail, he has refused all nourishment, and was this
morning brought into Court a changed being,
exhibiting weakness in body and in mind When
arraigned before the Recorder, he cung to a chair
with death-like grasp, trembling from head to
foot, with not sufficient strength to stand upon his
feet.
The Rev. DR.. Magoon appeared in Court in his be-
half to plead for mercy. He stated that Rogers was
member of the Hudson Street Baptist Church. and
was also teacher in the Sunday School Up to this
time his honesty or integrity had never been
brought IN question, for his conduct had been such
as to avoid suspicion. While the Rev. DR.. Magoon
was addressing the Court in his behalf, Rogers
swooned and fell upon the floor, which was follow
ed by intense excitement. He was picked up and
soon after recovered and carried out of the Court
by live men raving maniac He was taken into q
room in the City Hall over the Court room, when
medical attendance was procured. Doctors Nc.
Naughton and Charles 2. Stats were in attendance
upon him for some time, but up to noon the disease
had not yielded a particle to their treatment and
they We're fearful that he would become a confirm
ed maniac. During his rawlings he wanted his
hands cut off, and the utmost watchfullness wa:
necessary to prevent him from doing himself bodily
injury.
BY order of the Recorder he has been sent to the
Lunatic Asylum.-Albdny Journal

JEWS IN AUsrRIA.-A few days since the Empe-
ror told the Archduke Governor-G General of Hun.
gary that the Hungarian Protestants should have
their Provincial Synod, and that without delay
The conduct of the Hungarians is exemplary and
their loyalty towards the Emperor great, although
they strongly, and with justice, disapprove the
measures of the Government. Orders have been
given to the Stockholders of the different provinces
not to throw difficulties in the way of those Jewish
families who may wish to engage Christian SER
wants. The news of what was intended excited the
indignation of the foreign Jews to the highest de-
gree, and led to strong demonstrations against
Austria: At Frankfort rich stockbroker got on a
table after the evening Change, and moved that no
child of Israel should in future do business in any
description of Austrian stock The motion was
carried by acclamation, and the news of what had
occurred duly forwarded to this CITY, In Amster-
dam the great Hebrew firms also expressed their re-
solve to taboo Austrian paper, and Baron James
Rothschild, of Paris, gave elegraphic instructions
to his nephew in this city to wait on Count Buol,
and demonstrate with him. He did so and is said
to have observed to the Minister that he was a
cosmopoite, and could live elsewhere as in Austria,

NEW COINAGE AT THE BRANCH MINT. Corr espon-
dence has been recently published in this city by
the superintendent of the Branch Mint stating that
silver dollars are to be coined in that institution at
an early period This is looked upon as a matter OF
much Importance to the commerce of our city and
to the American trade with China. These dollars
not needed at home, our half dollars quarters
and dimes being the only silver coins equired for
convenient change; and the silver dollars will be
coined only for expectation.
In China the standard of value is Sycee silver or
pure silver taken by weight and very little if anv
foreign coin is current there Spanish and Mexi
can dollars, the Cinnamon refusing everything else
unless at heavy discounts after reduction To nure
silver. This puts foreign merchants to great ncon
yenience and expense, for pure silver and Mexican
dollars are often rare, and always bear nrennin,n
Thus Mexican dollars usually bear a premium ri
from to l6 per cent which causes heavy lose 70
the trader. i's' "
The purpose now is to induce the Cinnamon If
possible, to take the American dollars as tbev do
the mexican, the former having very nearly as much
pure silver In them as the latter. If this can he
uone Tue great premium on Mexican dollars will be
spared and the profits of the merchants being in
creased, the trade with China will increase.
IL Is pam that the silver dollar coinage can be
oenehclal only to the extent that it takes away our
snVer; and question may arise whether the export
oi M SILVER should be encouraged Last year we sent
Sz,ZVeOOO In treasure from this port to China and
nearly all of it, at least 50 900 000 was in silver.
FOR so much CT this silver was in Mexican dol
lafs, we may assume that large discount was sut-
tered In China. Now, if we send our dollars at
par it will from eight to sixteen per cent. on
SZ,OOO,OOO yearly, supposing that our export oil
silver to China does not increase.-Sdn francisco
