Henry Trowbridge. Captain Hotchkiss, Of New Haven
Conn.,, which had sailed from this port TO Barbados
with cargo Of slaves the 4th inst She had the
appearance Of having been swamped by heavy sea,
the cabins were filled with water Captain Lock-
man towed her up TO tho Highlands or New Jersey
coast and yesterday morning turned her over TO
Captain Whitock, OF the Rescue. on pumping out
the hold OF the vessel they found the bodies OF three
seamen, one OF which was seated upon trunk. It

HUDSON, August 8, 1858.
The adjourned special term Of the Supreme Court
to hear the argument on the application to admit to
bail George W. Cole, now confined in the jail at
Albany, charged with the murder Of L. Harris His
cock, was held in this city to-day, Judge Hogeboom
presiding. District Attorney Henry Smith, OF Albany
county, appeared on behalf Of the people, and
Amasa J. Parker and William J. Hadley. Of Albany,
appeared for the prisoner. The application for ad-
mission to bail was founded upon q petition of
the prisoner and an1davits OF jurymen who
favored his acquittal on the trial. District Attorney
Smith objected to the affdavits being read and at
length cited Of similar nature where afdavits
had not been admitted. Judge Hogeboom elabO-
rately explained his views In regard TO the same and
decided that they might be read subject to future
decision as to whether he should receive them
not. At the conclusion OF the argument he took the
papers presented and reserved his decision, which
will be made public at an early day.
