kW YORK HERALD.

What is the state of parties? How have the elections gone? Will Calhouo or Van Buren be the democratic candidate? Where is Mr. Web- ster? Has Cluy a good chasee at last? How are the people going 1 How jumps the cat? Are the coone awaking? «cc. We. &e. These are a few specimens of the questions which people are beginning to put to each other at the corners of the streets—in the saloons of the thea- tres—at the copcerts—in the parlors—and at the fashionable soirées, costing a thousand dellars a night, to be paid by the benefit of the act thereafier, Yet, it the community ot empty heads:and long whiskers expect to get correct information on these points from the newspapers of either party, they will expect im vain,—nay, they may.as well expect the millennium next Monday, or the transformation of the whole earth, into one vast Fourier phalanx, a! the nod of the new philosophers. Nosuck thing need be expected of the party pa- pers Thetr trade consists too much in misrepre- sentation, falschoed, and al! kinds of abomination forthat. We musi, therefore, gather up our gar- ments—collect our fxets, pick up the seeds ot fu- turity—and coacentrate philosophy in the past, in order to find out, like a true prophet, the complex- ion of the yearof our Lord 1844. The following tables contain the most accurate statements we can get of the election returns of the Jast four years, on which we shall make a few remarks:— Porvian Vorr. 1310, 1811, no.

Now these fluciu- Q:lons appear to have been principally produced by intern il movemeats of each party—by amuitiou, jealousy, rivalry, folly and nonsense. In 1841, the elections iadicaie a comslete revolu- tion— a enange from a whig majority of 145,000 toa democratic majority oi nearly 50,000. How wes this principa!ly caused 7 According to all appearances, these results were esused by the quarreis «i ine wh gs among them- selves. In 1341, there took place a great echiem be- tween Mr. Clay oa one side, and Captain Tyler Mr. Webster on the other, at Washington. This r querrel continued through 1842, end ac cordingly its effects were a greater increase of the locofeco majority—a majority ot nearly 100,000 -- ag that party an immense majority in the present e of Representatives. Ia 1342 and the com- meucement of 1843, almost every body had given up the cause of Henry Clay, and Mr. Van Buren teok his “exercise in the saddle” with greater spirit than everalong the roads of Kinderhook. In thisetate of the weather, a variety of new candidates sprung up in the democratic party—and Mr. Caihoun’s sec- lion made a moverneat throughout the couatry. Here was an internal quarrel atonce. The locoio- co ranks divided rapidly into two houses, ducing the Jest summer, while the waigs, by certain arcange- ments made here uuder the auspices of the Cusiom House, in Wali street, were bidding fair to heal the seeming quariel between Clay and Webster. ‘The first result of this change of the spirit of dis- cord is tobe seen in the elections during the present year. In all the States, where elections have taken Place, under this change of tactics, the majorities of the toolish Ipcofocos have melted into thin wr. Io the table for this year, we have given sucl of these returns as are past—and estimated the others, yet to come, according to last year—but before all the electionsare over, we should not be surprised to see the locofoco mejority reduced to 000,000, if not a smell figure in favor of tue whigs to begin the business campaiga of 1844 upon. Tue history ot the last four years present one of the most curious, philosophical commentaiies on party tactics that everjwas pezpetrated. la 1811 and ‘42, the whigs quarrelled among themselves—the locotocos were united—the result was a whig de- feat. In 1843 the tables are turned. The whigs unite their elemeats— Daniel Webster, having presented a dish of hot chowder to Captain Tyler, and made eure of his protegés in London, Paris and the New York Custom House, graduaily comes out of his hole like a cuanivg old tox—sirips poor Van Buren of his weapons, laughs at Tyler in his sleeve, slidee back into the whig party, with his gun on his houlder, and is now ready to eeal the reunion at Salem next month. Tare gives contidence to the whigs—vigor to the whgs—strength to the whigs, while the Calhoun and Van Buren sections ef their opponents are learing each other, and annihilating poor Captain Tyler in the melée to pieces. Ha! ha! ha! ha! There can be no mistake in the result of sucha singular change of tactice on both sides. Hat ha! ha! We should not be surprised even it New York city and state were to go this year “* 4 * for the whigs, by way Of @ preface to the election of Henry Clay for President and Daniet Webster for Viee,next year. Hatha! ha! Why not? Ha! he! hat What is to prevent it? Ho! ho! ho! Who cares? He! he! he! If the people wili give the sagacious, politic statesmen of Ashland and Marshfield chowder and ali their votes, instead of going for a quatreléome, fighting, troublesome set of locos polityeiaas, we shall laugh as hearti- ly as any, wa the fresh etudy of philosophy for the year 1843. Hathuths! Het het he! Ho! ho! hot Devilish little wisdom and less cun- niag are required to build up or pull down a party, in thie dirty, elegant, bright, saucy, bluncering world, Don’t you tunk so, Bishop Hughes 1 pata PTE ks Le Se gibt Nominations ror AsseMBLY Sates to nominate candidates for Aseembly met last evening, at the Broadway House, to complete their ticket. There was considerable excitement, and the way John Martia’s brandy and water and gin toddies were poured down, would have done honor to Old Tammany, At their meeting last week they selected eight candidates, and nominated the following last eveniag:— Edward Dayton, ship chandler, 17th ward. John O. Sargeant, lawyer, lath ward. Ww. D. Turner, physician, 9d ward. Thomas Bolton, clerk, Ist ward. Wm. Mandeville, cabinet maker, 9th ward. The following were rreviously chosen:— Richard 8. Williams, merchant, of 4th ward. Robert Smith, maton, of 16th ward. Eldridge G. BMiwin, plane maker, of 1Sth ward. Samuel Webster, ship joiner, of 11th ward. Augustos L. Brown, lawyer, of 15th ward. Jobn Martin, mason, of 13th ward Alexander P. Fonda, steamboat agent, of 5th ward. John L. Lawrence, lawyer, of 15th ward. Strange as it may seem, not a ‘ Webster man” has been selected on the above named ticket, and the excitement of some few of the Custom House whigs waxed so strong, on the conclusion of the no- mination, that a knock-down terminated the pro. ceedings, and a regular set-too between the Tyler, Webster Whigs and the Clay ultras would have fol- lowed, had not John Martin ia person called to order and propesed a general treat, which immediately quelled all rurther pugilistic demonstrations. Meally the whigs are getting up an excitement equal to the days of Tippecanoe and Tyler too. The Democratic delegates also met last evening to conclude their Assembly nominations, and the first movement wis to reconsider the nomination of Richard J Smith, of the 10:h ward, who was se- jected on the first bailot at the last meeting. E. 3. Derry, Esq., offered the proposition, which was adopted by a vote of 57 to 17, and the name of Mr. Smith was therefore stricken from the ticket. The alleged cause was former political trea- chery, when a member of the Board of Alder, men, and general uvpopularity in the democratic party. This question being settled, and many of the delegates refreshed with a drink, they proceed. ed to a ballot, which resulted in the choice of — Auguste Davezac, of the 6th Ward. James H Suydam, of the 9th James L. Bosworth, 16th w: George G. Glozier, 7th ward. Thomas N. Carr, 17th ward. Joshua Fleet, 13th ward. The “Subterraneans” met last evening at Dunn’s Sixth Ward Long Room, which was crowded to overflowing. They selected Henry Arcularius, of the fifth ward, as chairman of the county meeting, to be held at Tammany Hall next week, to approve or reject the nominations made by the county dele- gates, and also some dozen vice presicents and secretaries to aid him in the performance of that important duty. This emells warlike. Tug Fixe Potics.—The committee of the Com- mou Council, to which was referred the communi- cation of the Chief Engineer asking for the organi- zation ofa Fire Police of thirty men to aid him in the duties of his office at Fires, have unanimously agreed to recommend the measure to the Common Council at the next meeting. It is intended to ap- ply to the Legislature in order that the persons ap- pointed may possess the same jurisdiction and power as the Mayor's Marshals, and also to allow the ap- pointments to be made by the Fire and Water Committee of the two Boards and the Chief Engi- neer. Jupar Lyxcu anp tur Pouice.—During a triay in the Court of Common Pieas, in which Judge Lynch was counsel fer the plaintiff, several police officers were examined as to the character of the plaintiff and a female witness, but the Judge, whose criminal experience, while Associate Judge ot the Court of Sessions, had given him a full insight into the rotien police system with which New York is cursed, refused to cross-examine them, observing in his peculiar way, “‘ No! itis only Police testi: mony!” What an eulogium on our city govern- meni! Srrixg Amone THE TaiLons.—For the past three days the Journeymen Tuilors of our city have been ona stand out for increase of weges, and have as- sembled at various lours during the day and eve- fing, at Dunn’s Sixth Ward Long Room, ‘to hear Teports from commitiees appointed to wait uponem- Picyers to obtain their signatures to the new bill of prices. The movement appears to have! originated with the “United Benevolent and Trade Society of Journeymen Tailors,” and the object is to obtain a uniform standard of prices so far as possible, as also an equivalent for all extra work done on coats and pantaloons, which for the past several years have not been paid tor byemployers. The price asked by the journeymen tor making fashionable dress coats is $6, aud the same price for surtouts and frocks. Pantaloons, plain, $1, and extra for straps or jacings. Wages by the week $10—by the hour 18j cents The bill of “extras” rapge from 124 cents to $1, and include all extra finishing and fan- cy stitching, and créasing, from ‘‘edge wiring and swelling,” ‘waist rantering,” “slash cuffing,” “cape hookio, ehoulder stoting,” to “double cording,” and “back lining.” These “extras” appear to form the great point of difference between the journey- men and the employers, although a very large num- ber of the latter have “signed the bill” and are pay- ing the prices. The advance of prices for southern trade is for plain coats, fine cloth, $8 50-panta- loons 75 cents, being 50 cents on coats, and 25 on pants, more than hes previously beenyaid. The “trade” is still in conclave at Dunn’s, where they receive the reports from employers, and as the busi- ness is very brisk itis presumed that nearly all will accede to the small increase demanded Tue Corpwainers turned out yesterday to cele- brate the natal day of their native Saint, St. Cris- pin; but as the day was unfavorable, the procession was not extended to the limit prescribed. They are etill on a “stand,” demanding an advance of fifty cents on boots and twenty-five cents on shoes, with some few “extra” charges. Many of the “bos: workmen” Lave acceded to the prices, and but little objection appears to exist to the demand ot the journeymen. Tuat Hanveitt, calling upon the friends of Tem- perance to vote against Atwood, the Nemocratic no- minee, because he keeps a public hotel, was printed at the office of the ‘ Courier and Enquirer,” as the types plainly indicate. Sreampoat Exprosion.—There was somew hat of an explosion yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock, in Brooklyn. It oceurred on board the steamer Rush- light, while she was “ wooding up” at the wharf. Her boiler was thrown out and forced through a brick wail into an oil factory, wherejit stopped. The haill was left nearly gutted. We understand that three men were eeriously injured, but no lives were ost so far as we could learn. An trishman on board the boat, stated that he had just been appointed En gineer, and appeared quite unconcerned about the disaster, Steam Suir Saran Barnes —There is not the least doubt but that this steamer has been wrecked while on her passage from New Orleans for Galves- ton Part, if notyall her passengers and crew, perish- ed in her.

One of the exhibitions, in connexion with the Annual Fair of the American Institute, was the Dinner of the Farmers and others at the Lafayette Hall in Broadway yesterday. The hour at which the company was to sit down was variously repre- sented and hence some disappointment ensued, but We asceriained that the attendance wes by no means large, and that the table was only an ordina- ry one. Cheese and milk from the Fair were on the table; there was likewise much cider, and as the dinner was announced to be strictly on temperance principles, we presume the brandy we observed was taken medicinally, to counteract the acidity of the cider. Some of the more aristocratic gentry in- dulged in champagne. Miss Davis, niece ef Mr. Gilbert Davis, had sent for the judgment of the gentlemen present two bot- tle ot Tomato wine, which was said to have been the first ever made in this country. After the wine had been submitted to a severe test, many gentle. men haying sipped it, and fora time looked con- templative—epinions were expressed of its merits One observed that it was very much like catsup and sugar; others concurred, and the wine was vo- ted to be unworthy of reception after it had been drunk. We however heard froma gentleman of reat taste that the three year old bottle was supe- rior to its juvenile fellow, and hence it 1s conjec- tured that a little age adds greatly to iis worth.— Many toasts were given during the short time the company remained together, but there was one which created a little ebullition that threatened to disturb the harmony of the occasion. The toast was as followe:— dam the laborer : God made him a’gentleman—sin, @ farmer. The discussion which ensued was cogent, logi- cal, and theological; though the dissentients were 80 numerous, that they caused the toast to be with- drawn. It was contended, and in support of the position the Holy Scriptures were quoted, that God created man in his own image, and that manneces- sarily was made a gentleman; and further, that labor is the penalty of transgression, for the curse doomed erring man to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, and ergo, as farmers labored and sweated in the tillage of the earth and cultivation of the necessaries of life, farmers were very great sinners! The farmers demurred, and an incidental question arose, which led to a profound diequisition on the oft mooted enigma, “* What isa gentleman?” Oae with great gravity asserted that a gentleman was a person who lived without labor; while ano- ther retorted that such idlers were loafers, and not gentlemen. A third pouted, and said that mer- chants were no purer than farmers, though they worked less industrious} There was a great variety of opinions, and great seriousness observed in maintaining them, but as the torst was withdrawn by its proposer, who had no desire to be pitched through the window, the discussion was broughttoa termination. Professor Mapes then diverted the{minds of the company pre- sent from such trifling, by some interesting remarks on vegetation, and the guests soon after dispersed. Mvsicat Mati1ers.—Among the revolutions of the day, there is one in relation to the amusemenis of society, which is an indication of the progress of events as expressive as any other. It is an astonish- ing fact, after several years of languor, loss, and bankruptcy, that all the theatres and concerts ana all the other places of amusement are crowded more than ever they have been for the last twenty years in New York. We shall only note musical matters to-day. Madame Cinti Damoreau, a celebrated operatic singer from Paris, has given two concerts at Wash- ington Hall, and they have been attended by as fashionable a crowd as we ever recollect to have seen since the time of Malibran. She is accom- panied by a distinguished young artiet on the violin. We remember hearing the vocalist Cinti, about five years ego, at the Opera Comique in Paris. Sheisa veteran in the art. She has probably been on the French stage a quarter of a century, and her expe- rience and skill can hardly be paralleled in the pre- sent day unless we set Grisi in opposition to her. In point of voice the 1s without the compass or vo- lume either of Mrs. Sutton or of Castellan, but with the materials she possesses, she gives a grace and finish that attracts every one, and gives delightlul impressions to her audience. Artot, the violinist, of the same school es that in which she is so dis- tinguished a feature. We have had several violin- ists of great merit here, bat amongst them, perhaps, none possessed the singular versatility and genius of Wallace; but on the violin, as a single instru- ment, Artot is probably superior to Wallace in finish, though he by no means possesses his extra- ordinury genius for music. Wallace divides his attention between two instruments, either of which is sufficient to occupy the ge nius’ of any artist. We perceive those two distinguished artists, Demoreau and Artot, intend to give another concert, and we have no doubt it will be attended by all the dilettanti, but we particularly recommend all artists, especially ail vocalists, to be there whenever she sings, for they can learn much from her, even though they possess many qualities in a greater degree than she does. We perceive ulso that Max Bohrer, so celebrated on the violincello in Europe, hae just arrived after an extensive tour of nearly a year, through the South and West, and also through Canada. Bohrer is also an artist without an equal on his paricular instrument, and we understand he intends to give aconcert sometime next week, in whick he will be assisted by Mrs. Watson and Rakeman. No doubt-he wail have a brilliant assemblage, for he has just come in the harvest time when every thing 1s prosperous and encouraging. Mra. Sutton, who possesges undoubtedly one of the richest voices amongst the vocalists, combined with which is her good taste and finish, is, we learn, engaged in some negotiation for the revival of the Italian Opera. We have not learned the particulars, but as soon aw we do we shall announce them. Castelian has just returned from Boston, where she set all the musical people in a phrenzy of delight by her extraordinary power and the compass of her voice. All theee fashionable artists must be treated with just aiscrimination, and, their several merits must be fairly given to the world without any feeling of partiality, or any sentiynent that may ereate avy rivalry amongst them. They may have their jeal- ousies, as others have, but we shall enter into none of them, but shall be always happy to do justice to all. Russell is at Washington, and doubtless he 1s de- lighting his audiences with his simple ballads, and astonishing them by his novel adaptations of the 80 iloquies of our most eminent dramatists. De Begnis hos just returned from Canada, and may probably become an important unit in the revi- val of the Italian Opera. In consequence of the want of Croton water in Montreal, and the neceesi ty of submitting to the use of water from bad springs there, he has beea rather uneler the weather ; but we understand he is recovering very rapidly, and is expected to be perfectly wellim afew days. We do not concrive that Italian Operas can be got up here without De Beguis as the prinetpal buffo. In short, we are only on the commencement of the fashionable season, but we do not remember in twenty years that itever began with such favorable appearances. Business is getting brisk, money is circulating, every one is getting something to do, the tailore are getting more for muking breeches, the shoemakers expect to get more Jor iheir handy- craft, the eailors wont more, every one is going shead,and Mr. Webster is going 1 set the whig party on ite legs again; in short the whole world expects prosperity, with the exception of Mr. Van Buren and the democratic pany, which seems to be on its last legs—and them we advise to attend the cheatres and the concert roomé, aeolace under their calamitous loss of evexy 4bing to which they fe aspire, i gel Revival or Taaps.—Tax Musical Campaigy.— The revival of trade has certainly begun. Every thing is becoming musical. We do not alone allude to Cerito, or to Sutton, or to Castelian, or to Bohrer (who is again ameng us)—or to Artot, orto Wal- laee—we mean political minstrelsy and electioneer- ing musie. The coons, fat and greasy, are coming outof their holes, and begin to tune their pipes for ‘44. Every seventeen years the locusts come buz- zing along the green earth, eating and singing all the way—but it seems the coons, good souls, set in every four years to sing or serenade to the philosopher of Lindelwald. In one of the Rhode Island papers we find the following song, which is the first of the campaign. The locofocos of course will have their first song out as soon as possible, if they have the heart to sing at all.

H. Town, entire, for fifty cents, by Harper & Brothers, and the otherby Winchester in shilling numbers. A more remarkable production has seldom ap- peared from the press of any country, since the “golden ass” of Apulius. ‘The startling character of its scenes, and the extraordinary power displayed in the invention and management of the story, pro- duced an excitement in France unequalled even in the exciting literatare of that country. This we saw when we were in Paris las: month. ‘The edi- ton of the Harpers will be issued in two parts, at 25 cents each, poetry and morality included. The first is out, the second wiil be out next week. Winchester has also published his third number— the others will follow, morals and poetry also in- cluded. The rival editions are from the hands of two different translators—Harpers by Town, and Winchester’s by Deming. It is said, however, that in one of these editions, the richest and broadest portions of the work are left out—but in which, we have not been able to learn, having been unable to compare the original with the translations. At alj events, some of the scenes, in spite of all thatis said of its pure morality, are said to be as rich and broad as the richest and broadest of Mvore’s Lyrics, or of Mackenzie’s Man of the World, or of Fielciog’s Tom Jones, or of the prophesy of Eze- kiel in King James’ Translation. No matter, the work is sanctified by the publishers. Lectures on PusryisM.—A very curious course of lectures commence in the Stuyvesant Institute this evening, on Puseyiam, by Professor Del Mar, a savan who studied his materials, for some years, within @ stone’s cast of the Vaticaz and the baths of Caracalla, in the Eternal City. We would advise both Bishop Hughes and Bishop Onderdonk to attend, and learn the real merits of the controversy, which may soon rend the Catholic and Episcopal churches to pieces throughout this vast republic. If you want pure, fresh water, to quench your thirst, you must go,to the highest sources of the Missigsippi, and not drink the muddy stream down below, among the sinners at New Orleans. Docrorn Larpnek.—This distinguished savan closed Jast night, at the Society Library rooms, his series of lectures on astronomy, illustrated by the splendid planetarium of Russell, the self-made Ohio genius. These lectures have been crowded to suffocation, and the lecturer has been much admired for his talent and peculiar tact. He now proceeds to Bos ton. Dr. Lardner is a very remarkable man. Daring the lest year he has travelled 10,000 miles—given 114 lectures—spoxen nearly ten weeks—has been heard by 50,000 persons—has been several times neatly blown up or burnt up in steamboats—has been attacked by 116 newspapers—but has at length got into amooth water, with plenty of cash, a great reputation, and, what is more than all, secured the good graces of that puritan of puritans, the Rev. David Hale. So there is nothing like perseverance and accoltemper. _ {kj Don’t forget that the pretty, agreeable, gen- tle, engaging, graceful Misses Cumming, give their conceit to-night, at the Apollo saloon. They will be assisted by the Scottish Figaro, the veritable Clirehugh, an original in his line from stem to stern. A collection of the eldest and sweetest Scottish songs, in the old Scottish style, will meke the old ladies feel fifteen at fifty. Qg- At the Chatham Theatre this evening, an un, usually varied and attractive bill is offered. Mr. Hillappears as Seth Slope in the comical farce ot “Done for a Hundred,” aad also in the new come- dietta of ‘Cut and Come Again” Miss Rallia jances her new broadsword hornpipe, and Miss Partington figures in anew dance. The pantomime of the Ocean Imp, which has been got up with the greatest care, and produced with entire success will be also repeated. Wyomina Moxumenc —It may now be callea romplete. The capstone was placed upon it on Uriday Jast. The Wilkesbarre Advocate urges a proper commemoration of the finiehing of the Mon- ument. Incrrase or Tue West.—In 1840 the population of Latayeite, la, was 1570 A recent census shows 4 to be 2664 —showing an increase in three years of 1094. ; HAG ey P Lauxcnes.—Another splendid packet floats in her native element. Another new and magaificent ship has been added to the Liverpool line. The Yorkshire was launched yesterday from Webb & Allen’s yard. She isto be commanded by Capt. D. G. Baily, formerly of the South America, and belongs to Goodhue & Co.’s Black Ball Line of packets, She possesses all the improvements carried out in ali the other liners lately built, and for size, beauty of model, strength, and capability ol carrying, equals any of her predecessors. She takes her place in the line, and sails for Liverpool on the Ist of January next. It must astonish the English to see such vessels a8 the Yorkshire, Queen of the West, the Roscius, and many others, enter their ports from this city, every new one surpassing her predecessor in some valua- ble improvement. It must also be gratifying, as it is a sure evidence of the great increase of trade, which enriches both countries. A beautiful brig culled the Eagle,was also launch- ed yesterday from Williams’ yard. She was built for the China trade, that is, for trading in the China seas, and is a splendid craft. She is about 350 tons burthen, measuring 126 foet on deck, and is intend- ed fora fast sailer. The Eagle will go out incharge of Capt. Sherman, who took out the elegant clipper Princess, a short time since, which wassold to an in- dividual engaged in the opium trade. The Antelope, built for Capt. Forbes, of Boston, that sailed afew monthssince, is intended for the same business — The Eagle is pierced for eight guns, and is tobe fit" ted up in costly style. Our shipwrights are superior to any in the world, and any thing in the shape of a sailing vessel, want- edfor speed, is built in this country. The Balti- moreanshave, until lately, had the reputation of exceeding the ship builders of any other city in the speed of their ships, but the Bostonians in the Ante- lope, and the New Yorkers in the Eagle, have given themahardrun. They must make another attempt to recover theirlost fame. Races on THe AtLantic Course.—We have re- ceived another account of the races between the pilot boat Washington and yacht Gimerack. Let us now see which is the fastest sailer. To tHe Eprior or tHe Herarp .— Sia—I noticed this morning in your paper a letter from. Mr, Stevens relative to the races between his yacht Gimerack and the pilot boat W: ington. Firstly, he says, that on the first trial there a three or four knot to aseven oreight knot breeze. This is not so. Disin- terested pilots who were in the bay at the time, state that there was only athreeknot breeze. Secondly, there were no pijots on boardthe Washington, but the boat keeper says that the Gimcrack did not beat. This is enough for the first trial. ‘On the second trial, 1 was on board the Washington, and went down the bay in company with the steamsnips. We found the Gimerack there, and on our weather bow. We did not intend to sail with her, bat kept her on our Jee quarter. If Mr. Stevens had taken notice how the boat was sailed, yaming this way and that to keep him in his position, he would have seen how hard he tried to escape us. {tis my opinion, that in sailing three or four miles with him that day, which we did in eighteen min- utes, it was clearthatthe Washington could have beaten the Gimcrack over fifty yardr, aud she wes then doing her best. It seems to me that Mr. Stevens is very particular in steting the tonnoge of his yacht. It is 24 tons. He built her for light weather, and, therefure, carries a greut deal of canvass in jib, foresail and mainseil. She carries 972 narrow, which is equal to 486 yardsour widih, ry 650 yards, end our tonnage is $3 74.95. We have made an ofterto race again with the Gimerack. Mr. Stevens does not fancy the offer. We are not parti- cular, and will therefore sail the Washington against the Gimcrack simpty for pleasure, and at any time and place Mr. 8. may select. Let the wind be from areeftoa wholesale breeze. bat) yours, THOMAS ARDEN, ot the Washington. Now let us have the race. Latest From Canapa.—We received by last night’s mails Montreal papers of the 28d, and Que- bec of the 2lst instant. We annex all the news :— [from Montreal Herald, Oct. 23.) Seat oF GoveRnment —Meetings are in course of being held ia every part of Upper Canada, de- manding the removal of the Seat of Government eut of that Province. The newspapers are rapidly taking it up as a question not between Montreal and Kingston, but between the France-Canadian and the Anglo-Saxon race. What other shape the ao may take, itis difficult at this moment to edict wThe first snow of the season fell in this city yes- terday. The snow began to fall about 11 A. M., and continued for two or three hours, We presume it has fallen heavier tarther west, as the Upper Canada mails had not arrived at the hour of closure ot the Post Office. Our readers must, therefore, wait for the day’s parliamentary intelligence unt‘! to morrow. ‘; After a long debate in the House of Assembly, the bonding of Foreign Cattle clause in the Agricul- tural Protection Bill was adopted by the House. A aod deal was urged O tne imprecticability of bootie Jive cattle for slaughter, ike puncheons of rum or hogsheada of sugar: We confess that we can discover no insuperable difficulty in the way ot eff-ctually enforcing the law and preventing itseva- sion. Let all foreign cattle be entered at the near- est frontier Custom House, and there marked for ex- portation, acd if not entered at the bonding slavgh- ter houses within a certain stated and reasonavie time, let them be liable to confiscation. The inter- ests of the frontier farmers will prevent any exten- sive smuggling of cattle across the line, and the pro- fitto be #erived trom an evasion of the law, will be too small to induce the American cattle holder to risk the eutire confiscation of his property.

They did not find him at home, but beat his brother, who was there, broke up the furniture and doors, tore out two warps, threw them in the street, and burned them with oil of vitriol. They then wentdown Front street, below Master, to the house of John White, and whipped him and destroyed the warps in hislooms.
