GoN.-Some further evidence has been taken in the
Broderick Will case. Mr.. Elliott j. Moore an inti-
mate Irlend OF the deceased Senator, testifes to a
conversation with him few hours before he died,
the tendency OF which to show, quite clearly
that if he had made will he had forgotten ali
about it, and intended to make another on the yery
morning when death interfered to prevent it. The
conversation was in the witness presence, but be-
tween Mr.. Broderick and Gen. Calton one of his
seconds. The case is still undecided
Senator Latham addressed recently Breckin-
Ilage meeting at Sacramento, defending his support
OF the secession ticket, and his course during the
Iatc session OF Congress. In response to an inquiry
as to whether he favored the reelection of his coll
league, DR.. VIM. NJ Gwin he declared most en-
phatlcaly that he never had BEEN is not and never
VIII De IN iavor OF his colleagues reelection This
sentiment was more vociferously cheered than was
any other incident of the meeting
San Francisco correspondent says: "We are
little disappointed at the result of the census in
this city, which, we learn privately will give us a
population of only about rs, 900, where we think
careful examination would give us at least $4,000.
Our city directory contains &c, 900 names, and wo-
men and children are quite as abundant here now
as IN any other part of the Union. / learn also
that the census will give Placer county about
l5,OoO lnhabltants-an increase of 3 900 in ten
years.
THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-The National
hteHigencer says: The Board of Directors of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, at their August meet
ing issued an order to stop the navigation of the
canal to all steamboats, This took effect on the lst
of the present month, but has not been well re-
celved by the owners of the canal steamboats,, and
considerable portion of the community who found
those boats an accommodation. At the Board,
which has been sitting within the last two or three
days, the whole subject has been again brought up,
and the Board have decided, at least for the pres
ent, that only boats exceeding a draught of three
and a half feet water shall be excluded. This re-
iieves some of the steamboat partes but not all of
them.
THE LONDON correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says Lord LOvelace's son and heir the
grandson to whom will ultimately go the bulk of
the late Lady ByrOn's large landed property, and
who now becomes Baron Wentworth by her death,
is, and has for considerable time past, been work
ing at weekly wages an artisan in the smiths
department of Woolwich Arsenal. For the of
an earl, and the heir of barony by writ, this is
unique case. Lord Lovelaces daughter, to whom
passes the bulk of Lady Byron's large personal
property, is an inheratrix of much of the rare
ability of her mother, Ada, the only daughter of
Lord Byron.

A GREAT TRIUMvIRArE.-Three of the greatest
men that now loom up before the view of mankind
are Louis Napoleon, Victor Emmanuel and Carl
baldi. And what is somewhat singular is that
there should be sympathy, friendship and conf
dence between them. The two first are kings, the
other plebian insurrectOnist who aims at the de-
thronement of Kings and Popes, and the estab-
lishment of Italian independence. Garbaldi seems
to be working under the direction and for the bene-
lit of Victor Emmanuel, while Victor Emmanuel
seems to be working under the direction and for
the benefit of the French monarch.-PhjIa Penn
