NEW YORK HERALD. 10, PROB. adlay, Now [= Tac Probable Kesuits of the Late Eleetions —A Republican Revolution, Now that the confusion and excitement of the elections in this State are over, it may not be im. proper to venture some speculations on the con- sequences which will result to the whig party from their rece) t victory, and the effect that vic- tory will produce on the domestic policy of our government. We look upon the late whig victory in this State, as tar as it may be regarded as involving the future success of that party, as very equivo- cal. Itcannot be relied upon as an expression of opinion on any single principle, or set of prin- clples. It was not contest between John Young, | on the part of the whigs, and Silas Wright, on | that of the democrats. It rather resmbled a con- fused méiée, in which whigs, democrats, natives, abolitionists, anti-renters, and the various sec- tions into which these several parties are divided, took part, each seemingly more anxious to do the | enemy all the injury possible, than to secure the victory for itself. The anti-rent feeling contributed largely to this victory, and the tariff question very little, as will | be at once apparent from the fact that Addison Gardiner, a free-trader, with a leaning to anti- | rent principles, was elected over Hamilton Fish, | a thorough protectionist, but opposed to anti-rent- ism. Of the various minute causes which con- tributed to compass this immense political revo- | lution, the greatest that has occurred since the | general revulsion in popular sentiment in 1840, | it is needless now to go into an analysis. It is the | effect with which we have to deal. | The revolution is not confined to this State. | It is almost universal. Pennsylvania, Ohio, New | Jersey, and other States, have given great whig | majorities. From present appearances, the whigs will have a majority in the House of Representa- tives of the next Congress. What effect this pro- | spective preponderance of the whigs in the po- | pular branch of Congress—so to speak—will ex- | ercise on the course of the present Congress dur- | ing its approaching session, we are not prepared to say, with any degree of certainty. Of one | t we feel convinced—ihat there will be a modi- | fication of the duties on coal and iron, as rege | ated by the tariff bill of last session. By this modification the interests of New York and Penn- | sylvania will be consulted. We announced the | prospective certainty of this measure at the close | of last session. Mr. Walker is pledged to it, and a large number of the Southern democrats have promised it their support. It is, therefore, a set- | tledthing, and we may look forward to it with certainty. | The opponents of the administration will doubtless seize upon tbis fact to substantiate the truth of their prediction, that Mr. Polk and his Cabinet would be obliged to bend before the pop- ular storm that the tariff bill of 1846 would raise throughout the country. The result of the elec- tions in Pennsylvania and New York will cer- tainly not be without its effect on the administra- tion, and its party in Congress; but we happen to know that the proposed modification was deter- mined upon before the termination of the last session. It was announced in the columns of this paper on the 18th of last August. With the single exception we have mentioned, the policy of the administration will doubtless re- main unaltered. The course it has taken in re- jation to the war, to internal improvements, and other questions of governmental policy, will in all probability be still pursued. The seeds of opposition to the administration, which were sown broadcast in the last session of Congress, are now springing up ina fall harvest | of whig majorities, in almost every State where an election has been held. The democratic party was split up into small sections during the last session. The West was especially embittered against the South for the course of the latter on the Oregon question, the river and harbor bill, and other favorite measures of the Western de- mocracy. Mr. Polk was denounced for his veto of the river bill, and a large portion of the Western democrats voted for Mr. Wilmot’s abolition pro- viso in the two millions appropriation bill. They rejoiced as much as the whigs did at the long- windedness of Mr. John Davis, and the conse- quent defeat of the bill. They separated, breathing naught but vengeance against the administration, and it would seem that they carried their threats into effect. The administration was un- | questionably in a minority in both Houses at the close of the session. ’Tis true that General Jack- son and his cabinet were in a minority at the close of almost every session during his two terms of administration. But he had in himself recupe- rative powers of no ordinary strength. He al- ways recovered his lost ground—brought back the disaffected, and by his indomitable force of char- acter, succeeded in bending to his iron will those who would chafe at any other control. Every man is not a Jackson. Unless Mr. Polk exercises a great deal of discretion, the variance now ex- isting in the democratic party may tend to the overthrow of the policy of the present adminis- tration. It would seem that when the whigs exert their strength, they can muster force sufficient to tri- umph over their opponents. But the democratic party is almost faultlessly organized. Discipline, either in a political party, or an army, is a main element of strength. The democrats are admi- rably disciplined. They go altogether in a body, without swerving to the right or to the left, with- cut jealousy or disagreement. We of course speak of their general conduct, and not of their course in isolated instances, as for example, in the recent elections. The whigs, on the con- trary, have too many leaders, each ambitious of distinction. This makes them quarrelsome. They arefbesides divided into two sections—the progressive, and the conservative. These two forces are constantly engaged, the one dragging forward, the other pulling backward, and the censequence is, that they both remain sta- tionary, except when one succeeds in hitch- ing on an extra propelling power, as the pro- gressive party did in the late election in this State. But their opponents generally go in solid phalanx, no pulling backwards or forwards, but the entire body moves as if animated by one will. If the whigs were united, all pulling to- gether, and subject to the direction of one set of | leaders, they would, in all probability, succeed in obtaining power in the national government. The present aspect of affairs throws an unusual interest over the proceedings of the next session. | Questions of immense importance to the country, not to speak of the fate of parties, will be discuss- ed and passed upon. There will be a fierce en- | counter when the different parties meet in Wash- ington, in December. The issue will be ef the greatest importance, in more than one peint of view. Let us await it with patience. Tur Mopgen Josern anv tax Scarcity or Pro- | visions.—We refer our readers to the letter from | our Lendon correspondent, which we publish in another column. It will be perceived that Louis Philippe of France is another Joseph in the corn tyade ; providing for the searcity of the future in | the years of plenty. The King of the French is probably the wisest monarch in existence. PourticaL Bets.—We understand that several | prominent offiee-holders in Albany have lost con- siderable sums of money by the result of the | recent election in this State. One military officer | ! ost $500, and a legal officer $750. Betting on the | way the people will vote appear: to be like betting on the way the wind will blow | audience at the Masonic Tem) AMERICA. ary ess of theatrical amusements in this country, in every department—musie, the drama, and the ballet—during the present season, is deservedly the theme of general remark. Formerly the pa- tronage of the arts was almost exclusively con- fined to New York, but it has extended to Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the Southern and Western cities. This year, we have a more abundant supply of artists than ever before, and we may judge of the desire of the people for this species of amusement, by the extraordinary success that has attended almest all the artists who have lately arrived from Europe. Some idea of the success of theatricals in Ame- rica the present} season, may be formed from the fact that in Boston, a city bearing a reputation for more than ordinary straightlacedness, there are four theatres now open, and, as far as we may judge from the Boston journals, in full tide of success. At one of these theatres, so great was the rush to see the Keans on a late occasion, that tickets were sold at a premium ol fifteen dol- lars. But it is not the drama alone that has succeed- ed in Boston. De Meyer, Sivori, and others, have recently given concerts there with marked success, and the latter gentleman created there as great a sensation as in this city. Even in ballet the Bostonians have lately become wonder- fully appreciative. Madame Augusta and M’lle Blangy have been eminently successful there, drawing everflowing houses, and creating im- | mense enthusiasm. Even in Salem, the wizard | Herr Alexander has initiated the people in his magical cabala, and, moreover, has practised his witcheries with impunity. Samuel Lover, who was so eminently successful here a few weeks ago, is equally successful in Boston. But this is by no means surprising ; for wherever genius is appreciated, Lover must find support. He will always succeed. Mr. Collins opens this evening in Boston, and no donbt he will create the same enthusiasm there as he has excited here. One of the strongest proofs of the present extra. ordinary success of theatricals, is the fact that | Mr. Kean, in connection with the management of the Park theatre, is about to produce at an ex- pense of twelve thousand dollars, one of Shak- speare’s plays—King John. The brilliant success of Richard, produced last season on a smaller scale, together with the desire of carrying out Mr- Kean’s wish of originating a series of great Shak- spearian revivals in America,have no doubt stimu lated the management to this greatoutlay. This will be the greatest dramatic representation ever attempted in America, and will in all probaqility have an immense run. Indeed, the Park has done a great business during the past portion of the season. Mr. Col- lins, the Keans, Mrs. Mowatt, Mr. Leonard, and Mr. Anderson, have alternately filled the house during their respective engagements; and each, though in different degrees, has been successful in the other cities where they have appeared. In Philadelphia and Baltimore, the Keans, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Collins, have created a great deal of enthusiasm; and this enthusiasm seems to be rather increasing than on the decline. The extraordinary demand for theatricals has induced Mr. Hackett to open at Palmo’s for two weeks, with Augusta, Blangy, their respective aids, and a vaudeville company of considerable attraction. We will thus have the ballet, with the best talent at present in the courtry, and with every accessory that the refined taste of the ma- nagement can provide. The enterprising manager of the Bowery has not been idle. Mrs, Coleman Pope, a tragic actress of great merit, has lately met with a warm reception at this splendid theatre. She will no doubt be highly successful in this country. The manager of the Bowery has had a succession of attractions in Mrs. Shaw, “Montezuma,” &c. &c. There is nothing that proves the appreciative taste of our citizens more than the fact that the concerts of Sivori, Herz, De Meyer, and others, were attended by vast and discriminating au- diences, who testified, by every means in their power, their unbounded delight and enthusiasm. At these concerts, as well as at the Park on the benefit nights of the Keans, Anderson, Mrs. Mow- att, Mr. Leonard, Mr. Collins, the audiences have risen en masse, and applauded in the most tumul- tuous manner by cheering, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and by other means equally unce- remonious. We do not know any thing thatcan more delight an artist than such hearty manilesta- tion of delight on the part of a refined audience, The fact, however, goes to prove that the artist must have extraordinary merit thus to work up tue feelings of his audience, and that the audi- ence must have the highest degree of discrimina- | tion thus to appreciate the genius of the artist. We rejoice at this extraerdinary success of the- atricals in America, Nothing evinces a higher degree of refinement on the part of our citizens, and we are of opinion that the present season wiil firmly establish the cultivation and patronage of the fine arts, as a main feature of our nationa- character. Musical Intelligence. Henn: Heaz.—The anxiety to hear this talented art, ist seems to be not‘a whit diminished among the lovers of what is beautiful in music, and we expect, if possible, to see a more splendid and numerous assemblage this evening at the Tabernacle, than was present to grace his last triumph. By reference to the programme we find that he has secured the aid of artists, well proved favorites of the public. Signora Fico and Miss Julia Northall are both engaged; and in the over- ture to ‘ Semiramide,” to be performed upon eight grand pianofortes, not only his own talent will be called into requisition, but that of fifteen of the best players in the city. This last mentioned feature in the entertainment is a novel one for this country, and will, | we doubt not, be ominently satisfactory. Mr. Herz will, with orchestral accompaniment, led by Mr. George Loder, perform a grand concerto in three parts :] Ist, Allegro Maestoso; 2d, Andante a I’Beossaise; 3d, Rondo Suisse. He will, by request, also perform “La Violette,” one of the most beautiful of his own com- positions ; and with orchestral accompaniments, the variations onthe Torzett from “Le pré aux Clercs,’: which met with such enthusiastic applause at his last concert. Of the many musicel entertainments of, fored this season, this is one of the most attractive, and the great artist will gain new laurels to-night. We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Herz to secure the assist- ance of all the artistes of this city at his concerts. We believe that Mr. U. C. Hill is to lead his next. Stvoni’s Sxconp Conceat was attended, says the Bos- ton Post of yesterday, by a ik nd very fashionable ple on Saturday evening, and the lause and encores surpassed any expression of approbation we have heard in a concert room for ‘ears. Sivori makes @ splondid cadenz. is faultless, his tune general; mand of the scales admirable‘ The Prayer of Moses,” on one string, was a magnificent performance, and excit- ed the most enthusiastic admiration of his audience. At ¢ conclusion of the bill of performence he was so loud: ly encored that he came forward and played the ‘‘ Car. l of Venice.” Sivori will give one more concert at Melodeon on Wednesday night, which will positive- ly be his last before his departure from Boston.

Kean received a warm welcome last evening, after their temporary absence They appeared in the new play of the * Wife's Secret,” | with the original east of the subordinate characters, It | is quite needless to repeat our previously expressed opirr ion of this fine play. The warm applause with which each representation of its performance is received. argues how much it has won its way in the regard of the Park audience. The languege is especially remarkable for its chasteness and beauty. There are several passa- | Kes worthy of Bulwer, and the prominent parts are so | well defined, that though the conduct of the plot iscon- | fined mainly to the two principel characters, yet adegree | of interest attaches to n the subordinate parts, as | there is nothing in w necessary to the developement of th Arden, Jabez Sneed, Maud, and the Page lent parts, and we must say, were remarkably w played by Dyott, Fisher, Mra Abbott, and;Mra, Hunt, | respectively.

The lest | scene of the third we have sci ly seen gur- | passed for scenic effect, although it was, withal, very | simple. The scene isa garden into which iooks the | window of the room in which Lord Arden is concealed. | Sir Walter Amyot, led there by the rous Jabez, | sees his wife enter the room with a light, and throws herself into the arms of her brot! whom he mistakes for her loyal ie is 80 Coping - witnessing this proof of his wife’s supposed guilt, that he | falls senseless, ehd on this tableaux the curtain falls.

T! evening the “ Wite’s Secret” will be repeated, with the farce of “ Lend Me Five Shillings ” | Bowery Txeatne.—The patrons of the Bowery had « } rich treat last evening in Mrs. Coleman Pope’s persona: | tion of Mrs. Haller, in the play of the “Stranger.” To | | say that the part was well performed is not suflicient—it | | was extremely well performed. Mrs. Pope has evident. | 1 student in her profession, and aim: some future tim i is, 5 formed his part, Baron nat ed manner, and evinced by his acting a thorough knowl. edge of the part. This evening the ‘Stranger’ will be re- peated, and the comedy of the “Two Gregories,” and the Samat the “Flying Dutchman” will be performed af- terwards. Patsto’s Orena Hovuse.—The opening night at this the” etre augured well!for the success of the ballet The house was crowded in every part, almost uncomfortably so, and if we except some little want of uniformity among the minor members of the corps, all passed off with grea Madame Aucusta’s reception as it always has been, enthusiastic, and never did al anges. 80 veri- | tably the queen of all that is beautiful pe igs lasteveniug. We cannot at present particularize, first pas in the second act was so sylph-like, with bewitching abandon, that it was most raptureusly encored. M’lle Dimier proved herself a most effective seconde, perhaps the best we have had in the city; and Mons. Fredericks gained new ‘credit in his profession. Previous to the balle ical burletta was performed, in which Miss Taylor aj , and the audience appear: ed to us as well pleased to have her amongst them once more, as she was te return. She has much improved since we last beard her. Mr. Hunt sang well, and Chip- ndale was iene all over. To-night we are to ave the musical burletta of the “Chaste .” and the ballet of “La Gizelle.” Madam Augusta’s admirers will of themseives crowd the building Tue ALHamaa.—We cannot speak in too high terms of the enterteinments that are produced at this establish- ment. Their incessant novelty and excellence are worthy of all praise, and place the public under obliga- tions to Messrs. Corbynm and Loder. A new feature was introduced last evening, consisting of three tableaur vivang, illustrating the beautiful and pathetic ballad, “She wore a wreath of roses,” and representing the three different eras of womon in the characters of wife, and widow. The representations were indeed tiful scene representing each era was loudly as was also Mr. Austin Phillips’ singing of e ballad. These representations will be repeated to-night, with a variety of other entertainments. The Alhamra is cane) one of the most attractive places of amusement in the city. Crmcus—We never saw so crowded a house as at the amphitheatre last night, to witness the first representa tion of Carlo’s new Italian pantomime. This is to be a grand gala night at this establishment, in consequence of the evening’s receipts being set apart for the benefit of Mr Isaac Burtis, who is well known to all lovers of am- phitheatrical sports and amusements throughout the country. The Perper on the occasion will te of the mest brilliant and varied kind. Five celebrated | clowns—Mr. Medigap, Mr. Williams, Howe, Mr Smith; Signor Felix Carlo, other celebrated artists, will all perform, and the enter- tainments will wind = with ee rt by adouble band and atrial dance between Joe Miller and Augustus Mead. This is the grandest rmances ever put forth, and we are cenfident that there | will be a jam in the house. All ineonvenience and trou- ble may be avoided by engaging seats early. Rarmonp axp Wanina’s Menacrait.—Those who have not visited this grand collection of animals, had bet- ter aveil themselves of the opportunity of doing so while they can, because it will remain here but a few deyslon- ger. Although a visit to it is at any time interesting and ‘well worth treble the charge of admission, still the best time is when the being fed and the usual exercise and trai mals is going on. At such ti visiters ca complete control that the keepers have acquired over the largest and the most fe- rocious of the animal ki ingdom, as well as the tricks of the mighty and unwieldy elephant. Tue Battet—We learn with much satisfaction that the ballet in this city is to receive a strong accession of strength by the late arrival of an eminent corps from Italy. Signora Ciocca, the first danseuse, lady who, in Europe, has met with most unbounded success. Edi cated in the severe Neapolitan school, mbines s1 rior talent as an artiste with great nal attractio: ler seconde, Signora Mantin, is ly of much ce- mn. They are accompanied by Rossi and Raggio.

He is an adept in the art of magic and ventriloquism, and is, we learn, a most extraordinary imitator of the lan of birds and Is are Deasts.

Further returns show that the whigs have gained Jargely in the State legislature, end have perhaps elect- ed one member of Congress from the 2d district. Me- Clelland (dem ) is elected in the first district by about 600 majority, and Bingham in the third by about 75 ma- jority, a great falling off. We shall give the full vote when received.

Wi jure of @ majority on j 00d Whig Senators jn teligence, ‘Tue Correaes—The past week has been the first week of the winter session—that is, the first of the regu- lar lectures, for lectures have been delivered at both the schools during all the month of October: they were, hewever, on topics which are not generally dwelt on in detail in the regular course. The introductory lectures of the different professors at the University School were delivered on the evenings of the last week in October. We have already given a | report of Dr. Mott’s, and intended to have done the same | of the others, but were preveuted by circumstances from attending them all. The students, however, have | requested copies of them, with a view to their publica’ | tion, and we presume that most, if not all of them, will | | accordingly be published during the winter. ‘There has been quite a little émeute in the‘professiona) ranks during the last year or so,on the subject of the “standard of medical education,” and during the winter of 1845-46, much stir was made among the members of the healing art on this subject. Articles were published | in various medical journals detailing the errors and fail- | ings of the present mode of inducting young men into | had the mysteries of the divine science, and accordiug to their showing the people of the United States were blessed | with anything but an intelligent set of practitioners. The | result of it was, that a convention of the profession was | called last May, to assemble in this city, and devise the ways and means of bettering this unfortunate condition | of things. They accordingly assembled here, and held a convention, which was in session some three or four days, we believe; but they did not come to any direct conelusion, more than that a committee was appointed to examine into things, and report at another convention, which is to be held in Philadelphia next spring. The result of the enquiries of this committee is yet to be seen, and it is to be hoped that they will not find things | in such a lamentable condition as was represented. With a view to repel the wholesale accusations that | had been brought against the professional men of this country, and more especially the junior branches of it, | and the country practitioners, venerable and elo- quent Professor of the Institute of Medicine in the Uni- vel ool of this city, Dr. Pare, took oecasion, last March, to state his opinions as to the’ condition of the profession in this country. This he did in the address to the graduating class who then received their diplomas. ‘This address was subsequently published, and that it has already s:eached the tenth » sh it hashad a wide and extended circulation. Did the limits of a newspaper permit,‘it, we should like much to give some extracts from it, but we refrain from doing so, as the whole address is so admirable, that to give mere short extracts would not do it justice but we trust that any member of the p! mn who has not done so yet,will at once procure a copy and peruse it.

Whether this assault was committed by Mr. Marx with the intent to take the life of the complain- the case, and the question of intention to take life is en tirely within your decision. If any man, without just cause, makes use of a deadly weapon, the law ini that it is his intention to take life. We live forunately under a government which \ises no dis- tinction of persons; and although the complainant here moves in an humble sphere in sociéty, and the defendent im the most respectable circles, the law makes no diffe. rence in the case; forthere is none so low that the law does not protect, and there is none so high that it does not reach. If, therefore, from the evidence produced, you should deem him guilty, it will be your duty to convict him, regardless of what punishment may be im- posed in the case.
