SINGULAR SUICIDE.

For some time past David Goldberg, a Pole,
twenty-seven years Of age, who followed peddling
for living has beene xceedingly despondent in con
sequence Of not meeting with that in business
which he anticipated. On more than one occasion
Goldberg had threatened self-destructlon, but his
friends expostulated with him in regard to
terminating his troubles in that manner.
For time after that Goldberg seemed more rational
but at length commenced acting strangely again,
and appeared to be partially deranged. On Saturday
was seized with sudden frenzy, and. seeing a
locomotive on the track corner OF F1fty.fourtl
street and Fourth avenue, threw himself before
1t as 1t was moving forward and was crushed
beneath the iron horse, sustaining injuries to the
back and fracture OF the sternum. Goldberg was
removed to Bellevue Hospital, where death subse
quently ensued. Coroner keenan, was notified tC
hold an inquest. Deceased had no permanent home
but the night previous TO his death stopped with
friend at No. Bayard street.

AUS STRALIA.
Fearful Floods and Droughts.

Advices from Melbourne, dated as late as the Goth
of March, and received by mail from Europe, give
accounts OF the most distressing foundations
throughout the settlements OF New South Wales and
Queensland. The Inhabitants of those regions de-
clare that the overflow of the rivers and torrents
and the destruction OF life and property exceed any
thing ever known BEFORE even in Australia the quar-
ter of terrible floods. In New South Wales several
of the great streams rose more than twen-
ty feet above their usual level IN a
few hours, and swept everything before
them, swamping farm lands, hamlets and villages
and drowning men ana cattle wholesale. In the
vicinity of Windsor, for instance-the place is small
town at the foot of range of mountains-the entire
face OF the country was inundated for miles and
miles, and every living thing exposed in the plains
and unable to reach the higher grounds among the
hills in time perished. In queensland several of the
larger towns were half submerged, and the
inhabitants We're compelled to seek refuge
in the churches and schoolhouses. the
gold mines Of several districts were filled
with wafer, and the works almost utterly ruined
The suffering and the derangement OF business, and
even the interruption Of all communication Occa-
stoned by these floods, are fearful to contemplate.
The rains that chiefly led to this calamity continued
from early in March until towards the close Of that
month; and 1t seemed as though indeed the windows
OF heaven had been opened so that many good peo-
the idea that second deluge had come upon the
EARTH Yet while these inundatons were
thus devastating New South Wales and
Queensland and causing incalculable loss, at Mel
bourne and in almost every part Of the colony Of
Victoria the most unaccountable drought prevailed
and had continued for several months until the soil
had became hardened and almost baked, SO that not
blade OF grass would grow, and the fine cattle OF
the region began to die on in all directions OF hun.
ger and thirst The effect Of this singular contrast Of
overflow and parching dryness IS deplorabe. Death,
sickness and destitutOn are everywhere destroying
the nocks and herds and reducing the population
terribly that it willitake years for the ravaged dis
tricts to regain their former fourshng appearance
and substantial wealth. The European correspond
ents VINO mention this visitation add that state
ment of the losses inflicted would fill column after
column OF print, and that the destruction OF locks
and herds, and, worse than all, of human life has
been enormous.

From the London Times (city artIcle May 25l
Some persons III Amsterdam holding sectional
interest in the affairs OF the Atlantic anu Great
Western Railway have put forward plan OF settle
ment IN opposition to that just issued in London by
the president of the line. AS 1t has been the con.
slant aim OF the Erie people to get small knots Of in
dividuas by new proposals to distract the general
body from adopting any scheme that might inter-
fere with their proceedings, this new movement
should be regarded with the greatest suspicion. The
plan OF the president contemplates the nomination
OF General Mcclellan, Mr.. Duncan (of Duncan, Sher-
mand IL Coz and Senator Thurman to the control
OF the property, and with these names before them,

from the London Times (clty artcle), May 25.l
An impression Is enteFalned that in the course or
short time specie receipts from America are likely
TO be resumed on q steady scale. during the past
two years the heavy balances to Europe for the
excess OF importatlons expectations have been
met by the ira nsnssion Of federal stocks and
railway mortgage bonds; but the further sale OF tae
latter OF the new securities OF any American
joint stock undertaking having now been
Fisk and Gould and their confederates one OF the
chief means Of supply at an end, while there is 10
doubt that looking at the connection OF these per.
sons with the great democratic party, which may at
any date come into supreme power, such confidence
as may have been entertained in the safety OF Uni
ted States obligations must also be greatly weakened
Under these circumstances the assumption seems
warranted that the rate of importation OF European
goods must forthwith be diminished or that gold
must be sent to pay far as they taken in ex-
cess. For the present the latter result seems TO be
considered the most probable.
