It appears that the democratic majority for Mayor will be about six thousand votes—a thing altogether unprecedented, except on one occasion, about ten yearssince, when General Jackson had a mejority a little over five thousand. As usual, insuch cases of defeat, the Whig press, stationed principally in Wall street, has taken up the old strain, and are crying out “fraud! foreigner!” “foreigner! fraud!” “fraud! foreigner!” The vote taken is, in fact, probably larger than on any prior occasion ; but there is surely nothing remarkable in the fact that the rapidly growing increase of our populauonshould inflaence the aggregate number of voters. In 1840, there were about 41,000 votes taken. It is supposed that in the election so recently terminated, about 46,000 voters went to the polls. One half of this in- crease has, it is probable, arisen from the additional naturalized voters since 1840, and the other half has been owing tothe natural increase of the city popu- lation. It is worthy of mentioning also, that a num- berof voters of both parties who did not vote on all oceasions formerly, felt more interested in this in- stance, and went to the polls. In relation tothe charge of fraud, alleged with such vehemence against the Democrats by the Whig papers,we have no doubt thatit iswell-founded, and that a great deal of that has been committed by both parties. But there ary now so many preventa- tives against corruption on an extended seale,and the vigilance of the numerous inspectors has been so sharpened by former experience, that the frauds of both parties can hardly have created more than a thousand illegal votes. Making all allowances, therefore, it will be seen ‘that by an incontestibly large and overwhelming majority, the Democrats have triumphed over their opponents. If this ma- jority does not reach 6000, it is at the very lowest possible estimate,3000— a. sufficiently streng and de- cisive superiority. Such being the fact, it becomes a very interesting subject of philosophical enquiry to ascertain with ac- curacy and impartiality, the causes of such a singu- Jar result of the contest between the two great poli- tical parties in th ° metropolis of the Uaion— the great centre c ligence—where pe ople read more, understand more thoroughly the great politi- cal questions of the day,and where the voters are moie generally correct! forming a sound ju informed, and capable of respecting public men, measures and princi; thi in fany other section of thisgreat country. In fact, if we subject the po- litical elements here to arigid and impartial exami- nation, and examine the cause of the results deve- loped by the issut of this election, we shall go a great way towards elucidating the present state and prospects of the two adverse political parties through- out the length and breadth of the Union. Poth parties came into the field with the most sanguine expectations of success. Both have been equally disappointed by the result. The chagrin of the Whigs is matched by the s ¢ of the Demo- erats. The former, elated by their success last year, rejoicing in the belief that they had made a singular- ly popular nomination jfor| the Mayoralty, and be- lieving also that the publie regarded them as desirous to carry out plans of retrenchment and'reform, were nost certain of atriumph. The locofocos, on the other hand, had considerable intestine dissentions, and although they c! ned the highest hopes of success, never, we are perfectly assured, dreamed of sucha signal victory. What, then, have been the causes of this remarkable result?’ They rust have been lateat—operating quietly, and not apparent to alleyes. We have no doubt that one of the chief- est of these causes has arisen from the peculiar po- sition, principles, doctrines, conduct, and personal character of the great mass of the whig party in this city, with its ramifications throughout the country. ‘We are well aware that in the whig party there are a number of reputable, intelligent, highly accom- plished and estimable me: highest regard. But from w and known, we have every reason to believe that the whig party in this city, has, during the last few years, and particularly during the last year, been re- duced to a miserable, black-hearted, corrupt, in- triguing, contemptible “rump,” centered in Wall street, whose only object has been plunder, vio- lence, arrogance,’and robbery of all kinds. The great exponent of this party has been the Wall street press—a class of newspapers which have ex® hibited during the last year, in their curveillance of @ variety of public matters, the most insupportable arrogance—the most insulting impudence, and the most reckless disregard of every principle of honor, decency, justice, and morality, whether in public or private life, in relation to social affairs or any other subject. Itis true that there is who are worthy of the e have seen, heard small whig Paper with some pretensions to decency fand virtue published within the precincts of the “thirteen c ners of literature 1 philosephy of New York,” and conduct y a kind of vegetable excrescence but like a number of other vegetables this one only a kind ot adjunct to the other fare, and is serv. ed up something in the manner of cabbage with corned beef.. But the bad conduct, the anti-repub- lican doctrines, the undisguised rapacity of the es- pecial organs of the Whigs—the Wall street pa- pers~have reduced the party to this miserable con- cidon. Their violence and arrogance have been paralleled only by the atrocities of Robespierre, M nd their infamous associates; whilet their open and disgraceful plunder of the public treasury, and their concerted robberies »y meons of banks, and Trast Companies, have never been exceeded by any Italian banditti. Their open, uniform and reckless opposition to all soris of reform have dis- gusted the sober, honest, and theught{ul portion of their own supporters, and have excited amongst the middle classes of society, who formerly sustained them,a deep, earnest, and retributive spirit of indig- nation and scorn. No boisterous explosions—no violent outbreaks of popular feeling have revealed this revoluti It has gone on noiselessly in ten thou m throughout the community, aud its overwhelming thunder now breaks forth for the first time in this terrible defeat Indeed the ob rver of the signs of the which all the teachings of the soundest political economists would have failed to convey in a centu- Ty. Businessis beginning to be conducted on safe and honest principles. The mania of extravagant speculation hasbeen checked. Men are recovering from the shock of the calamities in which their imprudence and foily had involved them. They are engaged in investigating the causes of their ru- in. The cash systemis daily gaining ground. The propriety—theMnecessity of restricting credit,is seen and appreciated. The Wall street press ceases to exercise its corrupting and desolating influence on the mercantile communi The exposure of the defaulters, swindlers, bank robbers and plunderers of public property, who flouristed under Whigge- ty—the disgust excited by the organs and many of the leaders of the Whig party—the disgraceful man- ner in which the city government has been conduc- ted—these have been the chief causes of the extra- ordinary revulsion in public opinion and sentiment which we have seen so fully displayed on Tuesday last. The remarkabie result, for which we have been thus endeavoring to assign the causes, must obvi- ously exercise the most disastrous effects on the fortunes of Henry Clay—a man of admitted talent, and who, disconnected from his party, is one of the most accomplished statesmen ef the age, although in error on some important points. We are disposed to think that it will be utterly impossible for the whigs to collect their scattered forces after this defeat, unless they take up the name of some man more popular, and with principles more in unison with public feeling, than Henry Clay. Probably General Scott, or General Cass, would be judicious selections. This matter, however, we leave for the present to the discretion of the discomfitted whigs. On the other hand, the consequences to the demo- cratic party, will be uadoubtedly of a most impor- tantcharacter. After the first ebullitions of joy and delight are over, which they will be probably ina few days, we may expect to see demonstrations made by the respective friends of Van Buren and Calhoun. As for the Tyler party, that we consider as a perfect cipher—not even the dijecti membra re- main—it has vanished into thin air; for we believe that eyen the large ‘‘grease spot” has vanished. Already, the Van Buren men are preparing for a great public meeting in his favor, and the follow- ing subscription list is now in circulation :— “We, the undersigned, members of the Democratic Republican Party of the city of New York, respectfully request of the General Committee the privilege of holdin a meeting at Tammany Hall, to give an expression o sentiment, in favor of the renomination of Martin Van Buren for the Presidency in 1844.” The friends of Mr. Calhoun are also in the field, and we understand that the Hon Dixon H. Lewis wil} be the leader and master-spirit of the movement in the north, in favor of the southern candidate. He will soon arrive in the city, and some popular de- monstrations will be got up. We have thus agreeable prospects of a busy campaign during the summer. Fracas in Boston.—A very amusing fracas occur- red the other day in Boston. It appears that the editor of the “Evening Bulletin” published the fol- lowing article some days ag. Intropuctory No’ n exclusive copy of that most amusing publication, the “London Charivari,” has been forwarded ‘to the editor of the Boston Bulletin,” by our friend Douglas Jerrold, author of the “Rent Day,” &c., who is principal editer and proprietor of “Punch.” It is not generally known that this work is printed from eight to ten days before the day of publication. and Mr. Jerrold sent us one of these copies in the last steamer, and direct. ed our attention to the following graphic account of a “Marriage in High Life,” which created, as he says in a private note, “a thundering excitement’in the neighbor- oo of Smithfield market.” We give it to our readers as we find it Maratce iw Qyou Lire.—Last week the Honorable Mr. Fitz Augustus, son of the Most Noble, the Marquis of Going-gone,led to the hymenial altar the all-accomplished and angelic sviph, the daughter of his Grace the Duke of Beeuf Gras, of Slush Lane, Slaughter House Square. On this occasion all the elite of the beau mende attended. His Grace is the lineal representative of the ancient and exten- sive family of the Lacquers, (see the genealogy of the fami- ly in the London Punch for March,) and a vast number of the Lacquers were present. The supper was of the moat recherche kind—beuf.a-la-mode~beruf au naturel—calves heads of every variety—tripe and trotters in profusion — Champegne and an abundance offresh mushrooms. The blood pudding and cow-heel beef were greatly in demand. The band ot marrow-bones and cleavers was in attona- ance aud the Lern music enuvened the festive scene. The rooms were superbly oraamented with festoons of gilt sausages—medallions of the Bout Gras family and L quers in a composition, resembling in softness and delic: cy, tallow. The arms of the families were superbl wrought in lard and taliow—being an ox rampant, a bull couchant—vert—aknife, two mallets crossed. Motto, not given. Among the distinguished visitors, are noticed Lords Tryem, Hitch-em, and Knock-em:down—Earls ‘Treacle and Yardstick, with three ladies—Lord John Lof- tus, of Beehive hall, Count Applepie, Mojor Candy—The Dowager Lady Longbow, and her niece “Lucy Long,” Maid of Honor to the Queen—Madame Nicholas,and other distinguished noble and royal Dersonages—but her Ma- jesty, the Queen, was unavoidably absent, which circum- stance, in a great measure, disappointed a number of the Sprigs of Tape. The whole scene of festivity caused much talk, and very many witty remarks were made du- ring the evening and night. The company retired in the morning with nosegays and mushrooms, while the band played “Nix my Dolly,” &e. r A Colonel Winchester conceiving that one of his family who has been recently married, was pointed at in this jew d’esprit, repaired with a friend to the office of the “Bulletin” and inflicted summary chas- tisement on the unfortunate editor, who is represen- ted as greatly inferior to the gallant Colonel in point of physical ability. The martyr bore his sufferings, itis said, with heroic fortitude, and the chivalrous Colonel retired with all the dignity becoming such a valorous deed. This little incident forcibly reminds us of an an- ecdote related by the great Dr. Johnson. Whilst living in a garret in London, and editing the “ Ram- bler,” the Doctor published a description of one of the clubs of that day, giving a graphic portraiture of the members, and the manner in which they smoked, drank and enjoyed themselves. This number of the “Rambler” found its way to a village in Yorkshire, and a member of the village club, on taking it up, found to his horror that he and his fel- lows had been drawn to the life, and held up to the world in any thing but a desirable aspect. He im- mediately travelled to London, found out Dr. John- son, and with great vehemence called him to ac- count for daring to invade the sanctity of pri vate life. The Doctor explained, and protested that he had never before known of the exis- tence of his enraged visiter or his club; and the Yorkshireman, more sensible than the gallant Colonel Winchester, returned in peace to his native village, leaving the features of the illustrious Johnson in undisturbed repose. It is well known that Dick- ens’ description of the Yorkshire Schoolmaster excited the wrath of ascore of Mr. queers, who had sufficient discrimination to discover their like- ness to the original. A case somewhat in point occurred lately in our own experience, and may therefore be related. We received from a correspondent in Baltimore a glow- ing and very graphic account of a splendid ball in that city, which was set up, but in consequence of a press of matter of a rather more important nature, was kept out from day to day, until several weeks had elapsed. At this time the whigs gave a grand ball in this city, at Washington Hall, and after the alteration of a few names and jinitials, we inserted the account of the Baltimore ball as a report of the whig ball. Tt was universally admitted next morn- ing to be one of the very best and most accurate reports of a ball that ever appeared in our columns. The ladies were delighted, and netually quarrelled about their respective rights to the compliments which were paid to their beauty, grace, and mag- nificent attire ! ‘This flogging of editors seems to be becoming quite fashionable. This is of course only reasonable, and in keeping with the spiritof the age. Da Solle has been lately well “licked.” An editor in Harris- burgh has been almost beaten to death; and poor Mr. Gardner at Norfolk, has actually fallen a vie- tim to this modern mode of instructing ‘and govern- ing the press Packer Suir Switzentaxo.—This ship reached port yesterday much to the gratification of all con- cerned. Maeniricent Day.—Yesterday was a lovely day, all but the dust. That was as thick in Broadway as times, can hardly o be struck with the tokens, which now begin so clearly to present themselves, of that wide-spread) and remarkable revolution which is now going on in the public mind of this country. The credit has been exploded, and ite unprincipled supporters, stand revealed in their true lineaments, as the greatest scoundrels of the age. A few years ol bitter experience have drie ven into the mind of the nation practical lessons, a London fog.

Lastyear, democratic Aldermenseven; de- mocratic Assistant Aldermen eight ; whig aldermen ten; whig Assistant Aldormen nine—whig majori- ty on joint ballot four. The new members are sworn in and take their seats on Tuesday, the ninth of May, and then a general removal of some several hundred office hol- ders may be expected. The official return will be made by the inpectors on Friday. Crry Reroras.—Now that the Democrats have got the entire control of the city government in all its departments, it isto be hoped that attention will immediately be given to a number of reforms which are imperatively required. The three most promi- nent ones at present, are the organization of a day and night preventive police—the organization of paid firemen—and the cleansing of the streets. The necessity of a police force, similar to that of London, isso universally felt, that we do not say a word about it. We must have a day and night police, well paid, and rewarded for meritorious con. duct. All the greatest rogues of Europe and Ame- rica congregate in New York, and our city is now filled with gambling-houses, low grog-shops, and brothels, from which have originated the great pro- portion of those atrocities, murders, robberies and acts of violence, which have disgraced the annals of our city for the last few years. The only means of preserving the lives and property of our citizens, isto organize a large, efficient, and well-regulated body of police. The community confidently look for this from the Democrats. The Mayor should at once bestir himself in this matter. Then, the present fire department should be at once broken up, and an efficient, paid body of fire- men be organized in connexion with the police de- partment. Thissubject has also been already suffi- ciently diecussed; and itis fully expected that it will likewise be taken up by a democratic Common Council. The cleansing of the streets will at once demand the attention of the new Common Council. We are fully assured that many persons voted against the Whigs solely on account of the disgraceful man- ner in which they hews naglanted the suv: It such a korrible state are they at present that we can hardly wait until the 9th of May,when the new Com- mon Council come into office, for some measures for bettering their condition. We have such abundant and remarkable facilities for cleansing our strects, both in summer and winter, that there is no possible excuse for keeping them filthy. But at present the abundant supplies of water which we possess are wholly unemployed. All these matters, and others of great importance, await the action of the newly elected Common Council; and we cherish the hope that they will take up, with zeal and efficiency, on their entrance into office. ¢ News rrom att Parts or THE Wortp.—It 18 ex: pected that the Britannia, the next steamer due, will reach Boston in about a week, with a month’s later news from Europe, Asia and Africa. What she brings will be of an important character, par- ticularly from the Celestial Empire, where the Chi- nese and English are engaged in cutting each other’s throats with savage delight. We have never before been flooded with so much foreign news in so short a space of time, as within the Jast ten days. It has all been of the most exci- ting nature, breathing war and threats of war, which may yet result in something serious to the whole civilized world. We have given the fullest particu- lara, often exclusively in the Herald, and the public can strike a balance. In the news from Brazil, of the loss of the Con- cord—from China, Cuba, South Africa, Mexico, Texas, Yucatan, and Buenos Ayres, the huge paws of England are seen grasping at every thing—fre- quently atstraws, like a drowning man. Even the thousands of blacke which have fallen into her hands, are bound to eternal slavery, as remorseless- ly as by any blood-thirsty Spanish slaver we ever remember to have heard of, for the purpose, it is said, of paying the expenses of their capture! This is done under the cloak of philanthropy, which is increasing in the length of its skirts every year. It is curious philanthropy to rescue blacks from slavery to make them work like dray horses during their lives, under a solstice sun, for the food they eat, in- cluding stripes. We refer to the Herald of the last week for the facts showing this. And we refer par- ticularly to the facts relative to the right of search, as now exercised by the English aud American cruisers. Itis seen that not only have our merchant vessels, but vessels chartered by our government, and manned by officers and men belonging to our navy, have been visited and searched, and the but- ton and the flag of the country no more respected than if they were but so much brass and bunting. This right of search so arrogantly assumed by the English will yet lead to mischief. It is the most important subject under discussion, and it is hoped that something will be done at once to have it settled to the satisfaction of American merchants. Our cruisers cannot exercise the right on the foreign veszels, as is to be seen in the letier rom the Vin- cennes, and therefore no foreign {cruiser should be permitted to exercise the right on American vessels. It must be stopped. SiJerverson’s Birra Day—Cenimn wat ANnniven- sary.—Thomas Jeflerson was berm this day one hundred years ago, at Shadwell, in the County of Albemarle, Virginia. He was chairman of the Committee that drafted the Declaration of Indepen- dence, which was drawn up principally by himself and which he signed. In 1797 he was elected Vice President of the United States, which office he held four years, when he was elected to the Presidency, where he continued eight years. On the 4th of Ju- ly 1826, just 50 years after he signed the Declaration of Independence, he died, in the 84th year of hig age. The centennial anniversary of his birth will be appropriately celebrated by a dinner to-day at Tam many Hall, at which a great number ef the leading men of the party will be present. has been re-elected Mayor. Mr. Dver’s Lecture on “Marine Insurance.”— A not very numerous but highly respectable au- dience assembled at Clinton Hall last evening, to hear Mr. John Duer’s second lecture on “ Marine Insurance.” Most of the leading members of the bar were present, The lecture was well written— displayed great research—was highly instructive, and was delivered with that propriety and agreeable enunciation which characterise all Mr. Duer’s pub- le efforts. He commenced by a reference to the origin of Insurance, and showed that it was first used in Italy at a very early period. He then went on to speak of the sources whence the present law of insurance has been derived. 1. Ordinances and codes ot commercial or maritime law; 2. Elemen- tary and practical treatises; 8. Reports ofadjudged cases. Under the first head he referred to the Consolato del Mare—Laws or judgments of Oleron—Laws of Wisby—ot the Hanseatic league—Ordinance of Bar- celona—Other foreign ordinances collected by Ma- gens—Ordinance of the Marine of Louis XIV.— Code of Commerce. Under the second head, he noticed treatises in foreign languages and our own —Le Guidon de la Mer—Straccha—Sauterna— Roccus, &e.—Frenen jurists—Pothier, Valin, Em- erigon, &c.—System of Benecke, a German mer- chant—Italian translation—Maylne’s Lex Mercato- ria—System of Park—Treatise of Marshall—Phil- lip’s treatise—Compendium in 48th Lecture of Chancellor Kent. In referring under the third head to the reports of cases Mr. Duer took occasion {to remark that the number of cases tried and’adjudged in this country greatly exceeded those in Europe, and also spoke of the distinguished forensic learning and research which our lawyers and judges had displayed in these cases In referring to the treatise of Emerigon, Mr. Duer mentioned that it had been recommended to the at- tention of Chancellor Kent by Alexander Hamilton, and observed that that simple recommendation might have been of the remote causes of the after erudition and fame of that distinguished jurist. Mr. Duer in another part of the lecture also paid an elo- quent tribute of respect to the venerable Chancel- lor, which elicited marked applause. In concluding his lecture, Mr. Duer described in a very eloquent manner the invaluable benefits of Insurance, and pointed out its vast importance to the lawyer, the merchant, and the nation. Proressor Marritr’s Sermon Yesterpay.—Mr. Maffitt preached yesterday afternoon, at 3 P. M., in 27th street M. E. Church. The house was near- ly full, with a very handsome attendance of ladies. We could scarcely hear the commencement of his sermon, he spoke so low. If seemed to rise and Spread abroad over the audience like the first dawn- ing of aurora, mild, eoft, gentle, and gradually per- ceptible, swelling by degreesand beautifully great. His text we presume is somewhere in the scriptures although we heard nothing of it save the words “ Beginning at Jerusalem”—which in fact constitu- ted the theme of his discuurse, which had one rare excellence, brevity. We give two or three scraps. Truth will always bear its own weight and can stand on its own bottom. [To some one in the gal- lery]—Hear me, sir, if you please, and with your eyes open, for if I cannot now keep you awake I shall have very little hope, ef doing you any good by and by. God is as great in the minutie as he is in the outline, and greater too. Man has to make a noise to bring himself into notice of his fellow man. God hasto make nonoise. Thunder, like man, makes a noise —God, like the sun, is noiseless. Mr. Maffitt made a very beautiful and touching allusion to the green grass which once grew upon the spot where now that church stands, and upon which he once trod when he first came over from the Emerald Isle.— All the last part of his discourse was an appeal to the pockets of the people in the way of raising a collec- tion. Hesaid he believed justas much in the ne- cessity of money to oil the holy machinery, as he ALA tn tha anananity of ato Ee td fe: eucasureU B man’s religion by the extent of his donation. His appeal was very lengthy, varied, agreeable, and ef- fective. U.S. Sur Inpgrenpence.—We are pained to re- iterate our former statement that the yellow fever had broken out on board this frigate. We have again seen the letter from which we first copied, and itis stamped with truth. We de not believe, how- ever, that any other than Midshipman Hunter has died. Per contra, however, to this, we give two ex- tracts fromletters from an officer on board the In- dependence toa friend in New Jersey. It is seen that he does not even allude to the fever. We have seen other letters, and in none of which is its exis- tence on beard mentioned. Extract 10th March, 1843.—The Independence ar- rived at Martinique 10th March, being 31 days since leaving New York, having been on a cruise to the Southward and Eastward to near the latitude of 7 degrees north of the equator; the first land we saw was one of the islands yesterday afternoon, the officers and crew all well; and we have had a pleasant cruise.” y ‘ Extract, March 15th.—‘ We are still at this Island, and have been engaged getting water for the ship, quite a tediusjob in such placesas this. We have been constantly receiving visitors from shore, the Governor and other functionaries and numerous parties of the inhabitants of the town. To-day we expect to sail for Pensacola, probably not to stop at any intermediate port; if so, we may reasonably expect to be there in twelve or fifteen days. The weather thus tar has been but pleasantly warm ” Sven Days Later From Jamatca.—By an arrival yesterday, we received the Kingston Journal to the 4th ult. inclusive. q Another shock of an earthquake was felt in Kingston on the 11th, and yet another on the 13th ult. There was still a difficulty to get the emanici- pated blacks to work short of exorbitant wages, They have become “slothiul, and the fields a wil- derness.”” The House of Assembly will not meet till the 181h day of April this month.

We have sought to gain positive information on the subject, but have been, to the moment of writing, unsuccess- ful. Weearnestly trust, that no such dreadful ca- tastrophe has happened. Sivring on THe Lake.—We have seen a state- ment in the western papers, showing the amount of shipping built on Lake Erie in three years. Annex- ed is the aggregate of each year :-~ 1941, 1942. 1843, New craft, 4 17 17 Tonnage, 2.610 2,480 3,120 Cost, $130,100 $134,750 $151,000 ‘This shows that the number of vessels built has decreased, while the tonnage and cost hasincreased. This includes four steam propellers, now building, one at Buffalo, one at Cleveland, one at Perrys- burgh, and one at Chicago, of 250 tonseach, at a cost of $15,000 each.

We should not be surprised to find that Captain Tyler intended to cater the “democracie” with a stick of this candy. 7 City Intelligence, Picxvocxer ar Tammany Haui.—On Tuesday evening,’ while the inside of Old Tammany was crammed to overflowing by the Democracy who had assembled to hear the overwhelming defeat of the Whigs, Mr. John Teller, of 60 Bowery, felt seme genius making an exploration into his pockets in search of what he could conveniently obtain. Upon making the attempt to enter the pantaloons pocket of Mr. Teller, where he had snugly deposit- ed about $100.in bank notes and specie, his feelers were grabbed and the rogue placed in the hands of a police officer, who landed him in {the Tombs, where he gave the name of Edward Simpson,which no doubt he assumed for the purpose. A _Prowtina Loperr at tHe Astor Hovse.— On Tuesday evening one of the attendants at the Astor House perceived a man wending his way to the upper part of the hotel, who on being asked the number he was in of, replied 67. The wai- ter informed him that that room was occupied by Captain Hallet, but the fellow had the assurance to attempt to open the door when the Captain him- self informed him of his mistake. He then pro- ceeded to another hall and made an attempt to en- ter one of the rooms, when the attendant requested him to return to the bar, as he suspected that he had not taken lodgings in the house. He insisted that he hadand paid for them, although ame had not been entered on the books. ‘The residence that he gave was found to be erroneous and every evi- dence being presented that he wasan imposter, and that his intentions were probably to take what he id from any room he could enter, he was lodged in the City Prison on a charge of attempt to steal, where he gave the name of William Spink. Gengrat Srsstons.—At the opening of the Court the Recorder not being present and the remainder of{the Court, Jurors, parties and witnesses, being pretty well used up in attendance at the election, Judge Ingraham was sent for, and the Court ad- journed till this morning at 11 o’clock. could Tne New Boarp or Brokers.—The new board of Brokers met yesterday in thejlarge room of the Ex- change. The accommodations are good, and on the whole give an air of business to the room. On entering the hall from Wall street, the first thing which strikes the eye is a simi-circular tent embra- cing about one-third of the floor. The trame is of iron, anda rail about 3} feet high, painted green, encloses the spot, and affords a leaning place to the surrounding capitalists who overlook the business and make their bids through the brokers, fifty-two of whom are seated at two long tables situated on either side of the little gate in the centre. Ona platferm about two feet high is a table at which are seated the President, Colonel Hamilton, with Seixas Nathan, Esq., and S. Joseph, Esq. on either side of him, a smaller desk on the left ac- commodates the Secretary, J. Robiason, Esq. The whole is covered by a white canopy, which falls in festooned curtains in a manner to conceal the whole when the board is not in session. Here is bought aad sold a large amount of stock daily. The public are freely admitted, and as the progress of events pu- rifies the concern, it seems to increase in favor with the public. The old board adjourns at an earlier hour, and many of its members assemble here to finish their operations. There are some alterations that could be made to advantage inthe organization of the association, which we will suggest ata fu- ture time. When the concern is used as a ‘‘ menagerie,’’ a giraffe willbe obtained at the corner of Wall and Water streets. Mr. Eprror— Have we Seer e here against the raseality of our petty officials? ear the following case :—I went to the Wall street Post Office with a letter to Oswe- go. The cMfarge is one shilling and six pence ; 1 handed him a shilling and six pence, as usual — The official handed it back, saying they were worth fifteen cents. I then gave him two single shillings, and he gave me one penny change. The cream of the joke is this—those chaps in the post office can take up those 125 ceat pieces, with a 10 cent piece ; thus by providing themselves with a good many dimes. they will make 25 per cent, as the Spanish coin still passes current amongst the “‘sovereign people” for 25 cents On the six penny pieces they can make 20 per cent, Did that occur te you before? I have pa ages Mr. Bi Our ears are almost constantly saluted with com- plaints about the Housatonic Railroad, its manage- ment, &c. By taking achort journey on it one will be convinced that these complaints are not exagge- rated. I had occasion for the me, the other day, to travel a short distance on¥aid road ; and, to say nothing of the damaged spots, which are numer ous, I think the speed very little if any exceeds that of horse car pec ‘We were over 2} hoursin going the first 21 miles, including about 20 minutes for breaks. In some places one track is sunk below the other from5 to 10 degree: 3 able part of my journey wa: ing carried on some 6 or 8 miles beyond my destination, although having been explicitly told, all this on account of the con- ductor not knowing or being careless of his duty in announcing the name of the place ; thus leaving me to foot it back.

Mr. Forrest’s engagement extends to but two nights more, so that all who wish to witness his masterly performance, had better embrace the pre- sent opportunity.
