NEW YORK HERALD. = | the Herald for Burope. will be ready this afternoon, at one ck precisely, to go by the steamer Acadia. s steamer will leave Boston to morrow. s edition of the Herald for Ewrope will eoa- tain a fall account of the loss of the steamer At- lanve, with a list of those who perished by that disaster; late inte! nce from Washington; tiom the army and navy, including an account of the attack on Tampico, and the retreatof the Mexi- | cans to San Luis Potosi; all other intelligence, | from a}! parts of the country, that may be receiv- n ur of publication; and our usual f commercial, financial and political ¥ matter Siogle copies in wrappers, sixpence each. Impoercant from Mexleo, “egive on the outside of to-day’s [paper the sem/-official account of the taking of Tampice, and its investment by our sailorsand marines.— This \s the most important matter that has ocour- red in the war since Monterey fell into our hands, inasmuch as ithad been selected as the base of our future operations. In yesterday’s paper we published a telegraphic despateb, announcing the important fact thatan incipient revolution uad taken place in the city of Mexico; that Almonte was about going to Eng land ; and that Mr. Bankhead, the British minis- ter in Mexico, had made so much noise about Santa Anna’s robbery of the two millions of dol+ lars from a conducta, which proves to have be- longest to English merchants, that he was obliged o disgorge the ill-gotten booty. It may be that | Almonte’s trip to England has reference to this transaction | We may soon receive highly important news rom the Gulf of Mexico. | { The Result of the Recent Elections in the United States—[ts Kffectin Congress, dc. la view of the results that may be produced by the fall elections throughout the United States, we have taken some pains to collect the returns from seventeen States in which electioas have been held, ard compare the results with those of the Presidential election in 1844. The following is the table :— Aeanscare Vore oF 1644 and 1846. an Cloy Potk Birne Wits. Dem ibe. 4.161 48:6 1043 8,054 . Dem. Abo.

Songressioual vo.e of 1845. 32,000 | ate vote im 1844 1,996 578 186. 1'500 988 Decrease....... 495,951 | It appears from this that the democratic party | had # majority of tnirteen thousand four hundred | and eleven in the presidential election of 184, j and thatin the same States the whigs have a ma- | jority of twenty-one thousand, eight hundred and three in the year 1846, or at the present time— showing an apparent change in public opinion o f ; sturty-five thousand, two hundred and fourteen votes, and an apparent whig gain of the same | amount, We have before spoken of tho causes that pro- duced tiis revolution in so many States, and need only repeat that it was unquestionably brought abeut by general apathy, the anti- | renters and old bunkers of this State, “ the storm,” and coal and irom in Pennsylvania, and the course of the dominant party in | Congress last session, inciuding the Presi- | dent’s veto of the river and harbor b'll, which influenced the West. We are satisfied that the war with Mexico had no influence in the result, one way or the other. It may be possible, however, that although the whigs have andoubtedly gained considerable in- | fluence in the State and national councils, they | have not gained in the popular vote. It will be | perceived that the aggregate vote cast in the same States in the Presidential election of 1844, was one million nine hundred and ninety-six thousand five hundred and seventy-eight, while in the elec- tions that took place this fail, the aggregate vote is 1,600 988, showing a decrease of nearly half a million of votes. It is generally theught that nei- ther the democrats or whigs put forth their whole strength in State elections. Indeed, it is invaria- bly conceded that the democrats usuaily fall be- hind the whigé. It will be recollected that, judging by the State elections immediately preceding the general election in 1844, the suecess of the whig candidate for the Pre- sidency was deemed beyond question. Yet when the battle was fought, the demecrats, to a man, marched to the polls and secured the election of Mr. Polk by a tremendous aggregate vote, in the tace of great apparent odds. This shows that the democrats de not do their , best in the State elections, and only come forward in their full strength when great principles, plenty of offices, or a presidential election are at stake. It may therefore be the case that the whig have not gained any thing in the popular vote in these seventeen States, There is another fact apparent from the above table, which is, that notwithstanding the large decrease in the aggregate vote, tle abolition vote in the same number of States has increased come | ten thousand. We are puzzled to account for this in any other way than by attributing it to the fact that all bodies of fanatics, whether religious or political, will always increase and keep increasing, until they reach a certain point, wher they explode like a bag of gas, lea- ving not a shadow of su':stance behind. We can point to the Millerites, Mormonites, Native Ame- ricans, &c., &o., as examples. Although we here speak of the abolitionists as | a separate and distinct party from the whigs and | democrats, we may keep within the bounds of | faat, by ranking them as part and parcel of the whigs. At the onset of their career they branched from the whig party, and took their stand under the leadership of whig generals. All elections have shown that they eame {tom tha; section of the politicians of the Union. The ex. perience of the last few years warrants us in } saying, that if they are not again united tothe worthern whigs, as perfectly as they might be, that they willbe ere long. Indeed, in the State of New York, the union will soon be perfect; and the journal which is now the acknowledged organ of the one, is the determined advocate and supporter of the wild and revolutionary princi- ples ofthe other. Ifthey are not joined in name, we, Sre in fact, and we think the proceedings of | © next session or Con, ill gi | piace etis gress will give us ample Congress will meet ina few days, and its en- | suing session will be the most important that ever took place in the United States, as far as regards the questien of slavery. Asn matter of course, a large quantity of Southern territory will fall into our hands by conquest. This territory will ace Orueto | | | ] @ United Sates from the war with Mex. 60, as indemnity fer the expenses we shall be pat Oin conquering a peace. The moment the an- | Mexation of it is agitated, the question oy avery will be met, aad must be set- | | Soe |ard. It will be seen that efforts are making in | an food for man and the ani | great blessin and for the purpose of aconsing the tien Yote, whieh, in the States incluts @4 in the above table alone, appears to be 68.388, the whigs will take part with the aboli« tionists, and endeavor to prevent the extension of slavery. All this is very possible, and if this po- licy be adopted—and we see no reason to douby its probability—ihe accession to the whig ranks will be considerable, and perhaps large enough to secure the election of the whig candidate for the Presidency in 1843 This we believe is the ob- jeot in contempiation, and it will be effected if possible. Stranger events than this have oc- curred. These reflections are suggested by looking at the above table, and comparing the results of the elections in 1844 and 1846 with the signs of the times. They give prospect ofa stormy session. The | administration will be much embarrassed, and | will need stout hearts and strong arms to defend it from the assault that willbe made on it. Its adherents in the two houses will have the recent results of the elections in the several States to stare them in the face, but still this may net be enough to dismay them. Other inferences may be drawn from this table. The whigs will commence the presidential cam- paign with great advantages in their favor, but, it ism matter of some doubt, whether theycan re- | tain these advantages long enough to do them any | service. They have the faculty of losing their ground immediately after gaining it. It is seldom that we see them go into a campaign without the loss of a large number of their forces. But ifthey | manage their cards, shrewdly and sagaciously, the Next President of these United States, which williaclude California, New Mexico, Tamauli- pas, &c., &c., &c., will be a whig. Will this be so1? We slrall see. Tue Prosas.e Loss or Suir Zenosta.—By the | following extract from the ly book of the brig | Mary, Captain Norris, twenty-eight days from Galveston for this pert, which put into Newport in distress, on the 27th inst., it is probable that the ship Zenobia, Captain Kinney, cleared from this port on 22d inst., by N. L. & G. Griswold, and sailed on the 284 for Liverpool, leaded with flour, grain, &c., caslost in the recent severe storm.

The facts were compiled from the vffivial repsrt publihed by Congress. The extraordinary operation of that law were then exhibited; but it appears that the London Herald thinks them even more extraordinary | than wedid. While the English induige in their | desperate efforts at severity and sarcasm over the operations of this law, they are imbedded in | @ national debt of $1,500,000,000, which their go- vernment is gradually repudiating by lessening the rate of interest, and forcing the holders of their bonds to take two and a half per cent, in- stead of six per cent, for their money. We give the remarks of the London Herald, on the outside of this day’s paper, in order to show how quickly the English see the mote in their | neighbor’s eye. Tue Ratcroap ro Tux Paciric.—We refer our readers, including members of Congress, now about to assemble in Washington, to an article in this day’s Hera/d,taken from the Liverpool Stand. Europe to open a communication with the Paci- fic, in order to secure the commerce of that ocean to England or France, to the injury ef the United States. Now thata preject for the construction ofa railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific is before Congress, the article in question possesses some value, and ought to attract general atiene tion. Work For THE Common Councit..—Both boards will meet this evening. We hope the commituce will report on the Jersey City ferry matter. No time ought to be lest in putting the slip up at auc- tien, and curtailing the present monopoly of its bad features. The ferriage must be reduced to three cents ; money enough can be made at that. Let us have the report, by ali means. Movements oF Distineuisugp Men.—Gen.

Such actions speak for them. | selves, and need no comment. | We are informed that the barrel containing the | valuables entrusted to Adams’jExpress has been H | resevered; yesterday the bank bills were being | | dried in Wall street. Mr. Gould’s precaution in | | encasing the barrel in life preservers have thus | been attended with success. The barrel contain- | | ed a large amount of money and valuables. | lt is more than probable that Mr. Kimball, of | the firm of Spofford,Tileston & Co. was lost in the | Atlantic.

M., whose body | ‘was recovered from the wreck of the Atlantic, | will be held in Rev. Dr. Adams’ Church, Broome ! street, this morning at 11 o’clock. | The funeral of the noble commander of the | Atlantic, whose fate, in connection with the late | | melancholy disaster, has aroused so universal a | | feeling of publio sympathy throughout our com- | unity, took place at Staten Island yesterday, | and was attended by an immense number of sor- | rowing-relatives and friends. The residence of | the deceased is distant over a mile from the land- | ing place on the Island; and was furnished in a | | very respectable style. The corpse was placed | | in the hall, in a neatly finished mahogany coffin, | and every apartment in the house was crewded | to excess with female relatives and friends of the | deceased. The whole scene presented an appearanee of | impressive nalemnicy, to the calm mpeetaias, that | could not failto awaken feelings of the liveliest emotion. The memorable words of the lamented | deceased, betraying a boldness of character and | resolution that have marked throug. life the /eareer of Captain Dustan, would seem to | be impressed upon his very countenanee, even in the calm repose of death; for even there, we could read the determined resolution of } the late gallant captai: “If the Atlantic | goes, I shall go with her.” The deceased | —the deeply lamented subject of these remarks, {| would appear to have been not much over torty | ' clined to sandy, and the general expression of | countenance was strongly indicative of benevo- | | lence. Two heavy marks, us if the forehead had | been dashed against a rock, or part of the | wrecked vessel, were visible over the left eye; | and a slight contusion or mark alse appeared ‘upon the tip of the nose. With these ex- | ceptions, 6. whole countenance presented | nothing to indicate the violence of that | melancholy death which deprived his numerous triends of the advantages of his able services, as | commander’ on the line with which he was con- nected. Indeed, thecalm looker-on could read, | marked on the complacent expression of face of | the late Capt, Dustan, the words, “I have done | my duty.” Over ninety carriages, and other | Yehicles, were in attendance, both from New | York and Staten Island, and the whole scene was | extremely solemn and impressive. | The Rev. Mr, Winstow read the lesson from | 15th chapter Ist tipiade of Paul to the Corin- | thians. After which, | The Rev.

Who in the neigh- borhood could forget the ‘oted love of the lamented Iseao Dustan, towards a 4 mother?

The New London News of Saturday gives | the number of bodies recovered thus far, to be 27. Among the lost was Lieut. Allen H. | Norton, 4th infantry, U.S. army. Lieut. N. had | been stopping in New London for several days, at the residence of Captain A. Bassett, and was proceeding te West Point. He had but recently received his promotion. C. A. Hassler, Surgeon U. 8. navy, who was also lost, had just arrived at Boston in the U. 8. ship Falmouth, and was on his way to New Brunswick, N. J., the place of his residence. The funeral of both these officers was to take place at New London on Savurday alternoon, | from the residence of Captain Bass tt. Five of the persons who,perished in the wreck were aiso to be buried on Saturday; their names are not given in os ay frem which we take the information. e should think that none should be buried until time was given to have them identified by their frends. A letter dated Mystic, Nov. 27th, shows that others besides those in the Atlantic were exposed todanger.

Larzst Inrormation.—An extra train arrived at the Brooklyn station at 9 o’clock last evening, ; from Norwich and New London. This train brought on the bodies of Alderman Burbank, of | the City of Brooklyn, and Mr. Kimball, merchant | of this city. Mr. Cornell, the ticket master of the Long Island Railroad Company, was charg- ed with the train, it being the return of the ex- press that left on Saturday ; he left Norwich yes- terday, Sunday, at half past 12 o’clock, and New London soon after. He informs us that all the bodies but one, had been claimed by their friends. The Mohegan returned to Norwich about 8 o’clock on Saturday evening with four | additional bodies from the island, (among them Dector Weston,) three of whom were forwarded to Boston yesterday. The shore appears to be strewed with parts of the wreck, &c. The valuable valise of Adams & Co., was found some three miles from the point where the Atlantic struck. The Mohegan returned immediately and an- chored near the island, and a competent force of hands was yesterday at work recovering what- ever could be obtained. The agent of the New York underwriters was engaged at the island. Mr. Cornell crossed in the steamboat New Haven from New London to Greenport. He states that a view of the wreck of the Atlantic is quite distinct, being less than half a mile to the west of the place where she struck, and where there is acove with safe anchorage. Captain Van Pelt of the Mohegan has been unremitting in his exertion in reclaimg the bodies of the unfortunate victims. A watch is constantly on duty along the extent of the shor > of the at re The bodies of Alderman Burbank, and Mr. | Kimball came on in charge of their friends, who left this city on Saturday for that object. It was reported that a large amount of money, which Alderman Burbank had with him, had been taken from his person by some one not authorized, Such was not the Case, the money, $2500, was handed into the office of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad Company by Capt. Wil- lianis, of the Cleopatra. i Both Mr Kimball and Mr. Burbank were highly esteemed cititizens of Brooklyn, and the latter, at tne time of his death, was President of the Board of Aldermen. Both have families. Mr. Kimball leaves a wife and five children. No tongue can speak, nor pen describe the distress and desola- uon brought so suddenly upon these amiable families. Suffice it to say that their bereavement and lamentauons are heart rending in the ex- ueme. Mr. Burbank has been in public life for a num- ber of years, and was a member of the last Leg- islature. Kimball was at the head of the firm which succeeded Messrs. Spofford, Tileston &Co., of this city. Theatricais. Panu Tueatne.—The play of “King John” is to be withdrawn after this week. Those of our citizens or strangers who have not witnessed this gorgeous revival of the scenes of the thirteenth century should not let slip the opportunity now offered. No piece has ever been put upon the American stage so accurately perfect i detail as this, and the splendor of the ry, and appurtenances, from first to last, is indescribably brilliant. Of the actors it is almost unne- ary to speak The Keans have been so often com- ed in vur columns their reputation is so well ablished, that p1 usele: ‘fandenhoft’s Faul- conbri £ is excellent ; so is Dyott’s Hubert, Barry’s King Pl Hip. Chantrau’s Salisbury, and Miss Denny’s Arthur. e acting of the latter young lady, in the rison scene with Hubert, is gem. A new farce is to e brought out to-night,’ for first time in America, itled Mag nt Garden.” It has met with id success in lon. Bowery Tueatas.—In consequerce of the indisposi- tion of Mrs. Coleman Pope, the commencement of the engagement of that popular acter, Mr. Murdoch, is neces- sarily postponed till Wednesday evening next, when he will make his first appearanceat this theatre. The planof the manoger in his reduction of prices has succeeded, f cularging ie audience part of he building, Te-might ote eo nce part of the bui . To-nigh three popular dramas wall be produced—" Putnam,” which once before had sueh a run, the ‘* Children in the Wood,” and ‘ Black Eyed Susan.” The cast of charac- ter for each of these plays is very rfui, aod wi pect to see the whele of the now, more than ever spa- cious building, crowded. Greenwich Taxatax.—This place of amusement for some time closed, is this evening to be reopened under new management, that of Mr. William Stammers, the stago department under Mr. H. P. Grattan. The stock company contains a list of most excellent names, and many popularly known by our theatre going pub lic. This evening the celebrated lew comedian, Mr. John Dunn, better known as “ That Jack,” will make his first appearance in the play, from which he hastaken the above appellation. The co- medy of “ Rascal J: is his faverite piece, and he is identified with it. ides which, the petit edy of the “ Day after the Wedding”—and the play entitied “ Sketches of India,” will be produced. Miss Julia Vin- cent, a danseuse of great merit, will make her pearance at this theatre this evening, ‘ing turned from the Sor where she has been performing with great credit. hope that our west-end citizens will properly support such a theatre, established in their midst, and for their convenience. Bowzry Amrnituratre.—Another rousing pro- gramme for this evening. A great equestrian jubilee will be held for the benefit ofthe English clown, W. H, Kemp, who will open a new budget of jokes and fun.

In this day of political revolution, intrigue for boner an] preferment is as conspicuous as in another age and another country,jwhen the sentiment that political vir openly avowed and almost uniformly practised. The only perceptible difference now is, that though the game of ambition is as large, the gamesters are inferior. Since the defeat of Mr. Clay in 1844, the eye of the whig party has naturally turned to the selection of some more available candidate for the next canvass ; some one who, whilst orthodox on all the great principles of the party, was not obnoxions to thojthousands of nfoderste men, who require but a pretext of name for separating | from the democratic ranks, and against whom there stoed, not arrayed, that formidable committed opposition which bas ever repulsed the sage of Ashland ; in fine, some one, who although a whig, commanded the confi- dence and respect of the country, and who had long enough retired from the active participation in the parte san arena, to be unembarrassed by personal prejudices, conflicts imosities. To such a eandidate, it is be- lieved, the atvention of the most sagacious counsellors of the whig party is now seriously directed, with the pro- mise of an overwhelming success in 1348, if they will only profit by past experience, and be content to use their recent victories in ness to oppenents who are already more than clined to renounce their former associations. difficult to solve that of adva: victory, or to secure nage from tempo’ |, harmonious, and proud pbalanx—in. it into a thousal at rary success, In adversity, the ium} elevation among themse! ther they will alone can answe: One effect of the late victories, has been to bring for- | ward at this early period a host of candidates, of all shapes ond sizes; some of very limited qualifications, and without any sort of plausible pretension. The friends y the results in Mr. Polk's standard for their prefe- rences, hoping in this wi and to induce the favor oung gentlemen, of persons who have todo but tical meetings end to ‘‘atump” the State, and of adventurers whose yihove isin influenced by motives of envy and by the cou i complacent merits might not be se well estimated in other quarters as in one of themselves, have endeavored to force forward the name of Mr. Thomas Corwin as the candidate for the Presidency. This attempt is net made with any honest belief that he can ever become a se: candidate, but with the of parti the expectation of securing Mr. Corwin’s influence in any bargain that h ht succeed in making with some other candidat thould his efforts be attended with suecess. Mr. Corwin isa man of some ability, an excel- lent stump speaker, a good mimic, a poor lawyer, a clever fellow in some respects, and an adroit intriguer. Whether these are qualifications for the chief megistracy T leave the public to judge, but, they are eminently the conspicuous characteristics of the “stumpers’” candidate.

M. The operations inthe “stock market” the past week, have been to avery limited extent. The cold, wet, dis- agreeable weather, and the suspension of business gene, rally on Thureday, have reduced transactions very much and made the week rather an inactive ope. The time when the new tariff goes into operation is so near at hand, that very little business hes recently been done among the importing clesses; and the appreach of the next session of Congress, has induced capitalists and those ‘engaged in stock operations to pause, and await os movements at Washington in relation to public af ire. - The greatest anxiety exists to see what will be done in Congress in regard to the war; and the message of the President, the reports from the different departments Particularly those from the treasury and war depert. ments, will be read with the greatest interest, as they will give us seme insight into the movements of the Government, and the result of those made fore more vigorous prosecution of hostilities, or for an amicable ar- rangement of the existing difficulties. _ The Congress of Mexico meets alont the same time | that of the United States does; and it is the impression of | Many that negotiations will be entered into for a speedy termination of the war; but we have very little faithin the success of any terms our government might pro- pose.

We must fight it out; and the way te bring matters to & proper and speedy settlement, is to go into it upen en extensive scale. What we get from the Mexicans must be fought for, and obtained at the cannon’s mouth. We have no confidence in any terms they msy agree te by negotiation. They have no respect for treaties, and will never have until we force them to, with the ability to maintain whatever we may be disposed to grant. ‘We annex eur usual table exhibiting the quotations for certain stocks in this market for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous.

A part of the decline noticed above, in Norwich and Worcester, was produced entirely by the serious loss the compafly has experienced by the wreck of the Atlantic On Wednesday the stock was selling at 5834; since the loss of the steamer sales have been made as low as 63 ; showing a decline of 53% per cent. The company will not only lose nearly ene hum died thousand dollars by this wreck, but the travel on the route will be very much reduced by the withdrawal of such a fine boat as the Atlantic. All steamboat travel on the Seund will be much reduced during the present | winter by this accident, and the Long Island road will become the favorite route to Boston. The dangers of navigation on Leng Islend Sound, ap- pear to be annually increasing, and this season, thus far, has been «very unfortunate one. An inland route be- | tween this city andthe East, is very much required, end the public mind will be aroused to the importance of completing at once the lines of railread in contempla- tion to connect this city with Boston. The construction of the New Haven railroad will be expedited by this un- fortunate affair, and we trust many years will not elepee before winter steambeat navigation on the Sound will be done away with. More attention bes been paid te the speed and beauty of boats navigating these waters, than to their strength and seaworthiness. | The receipts of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company, for the first week in November in eaeh of the | past three years, have been asannexed.
