To the Inspecturs of Biections, From the number of tickets in the field, all of which ‘will have to be counted separately, it is foreseen that ful Teturns will not be made in time forthe paysrs of to- morrow mornin; it is, therefore, recommended that the inspectors should count first the mayoralty ticket, next the Alms House Commits oper, third the Aldermen end Assistant Aldermen, ond fourth, if they have time the tickets for Police Magistrates. We have made ar- Tangements for having as perfect reports as can be pro- ured, and the inspectors oan aid materially by furnish- ing the reporters with returns at as early an hour as pos- sible. ‘The Great Revolution in Murope. The revolution in France has become a revo- Jution over all Europe. Two hundred millions of people, the most civilized on the face of the earth, or inthe history of the human race, are now in the full tide of democracy, begianing at Paris, and radiating to every extremity of the old world. Europe must be republican or Cos- sack,andthe chances are that she will be re- The events of the last month, in France, Ger- maoy, Itely—everywhere in the old world—are the most astounding that have ever taken place in the history of the world. The moral power and the physical courage of the people are as wonderful and extraordinary asthe weakness, the imbecility, and the jolly of kings, emperors, gad rulers, of allranks. The great and mighty fact that the popular mind, and the soul of the soldiery, meet on the same broad feeling of hu- manity, has shaken the despotic systems of Eu- rope in a few days into utter and undistinguish- abieruin. For twenty years past, the newspaper prees of Paris and London have been keeping up the flame of liberty and right, to a certain extent, which has now spread from valiey to valley, from hill to hill, and from country to country, with the rapidity of electricity over the wires of the telegraph. The vast improvements made during the past few years, in the power of loco- motion, and in the rapid communication of intelligence, have aided and assisted to diccnthrall Europe from the shackles of em- »rore and kings, and the censorship imposed by onthe liberty of thought and of speech + has communicated the impulse, by her sivilous three days, beginning with the birth- day of Washington, to the rest of Europe—an im- pulse which is acknowledged in Germany, in Italy, in Poland, everywhere else in the old world, and which she caught in the American efforts for liberty, and from American thought and action. The condition of things in Europe, at the last accounts, is most interesting tv all the lovers of freedom and the improvement of the human race. France is a republic—the two great German monarchies have liberated the press, which was demanded by the people, and established National Guards. Iialy is in the fulltide of revolution. The fire is spreading in every direction, and the next month may bring us intelligence that similar movement? have overwhelmed the British monarchy, as well asa great portion of the Russian empire | itself. Still the great question is put—will all | these eflorts succeed in the establishment of a cluster of republics in Europe? It isa momen- tous question; but thus far the symptoms are fa- vorable to the realization of the hopes of the friends of humanity. The establishment, so suddenly, of a republic in France, although it was hailed with demon- strations and delight in all quarters, was yet met with doubt and hesitancy by many. Diffi- culty, discord and disunion, if not a foreign war, were feared, which would impede the pro gress of establishing a republic. A few weeks have removed some of these obstaclee— and the prospect is, that a few more will remove themall. The spread of revolution in Germany and Italy gives the despotic pu vers of those countries enough todo at home, and saves the French from indulging in any foreign conquests, or of defending their territorial limits, menaced now from no quarter. but acknowledged by ail. The French republic, which is now at- tempted to be established, came forward rapidly and almost full grown, thus preser:ing # prospect of success very different trom that which she ex- | hibited to the world in the old revolution of 1789 and '92. At thattime, popular rightshad to wage a contest with regal and aristocratic privil-ges — Now, the leap trom a monarchy to a republic 1s accomplished in a single day. We have every reason to believe that there is intelligence and moderation enough in the present race of Frenct.- men to establish a permanent, a durable, und a moderate republican government for their coun- try. The principal difficulties with which they will have to contend, are those springing from the dis- asters to commercial and publiccredit. At the last accounts the efforts making by the great capi- talists appear to be prodigious to preserve their credit. We do not believe, however, that the revulsion in commercial and financial affairs can be stopped, neither do we think that even that revulsion will prevent the early establishment of a republic, a8 soon as the national convention | shall have met und deliberated on that important question. In Germany affairs are different, and the pros- | together unlike that of France. The have to contend against »\| the regal, | imperial, aod other aristocratic privileges with which they have been impressed for centuries, | and which the French got rid of half a century ago. The Germans, also, are quite calm and mo- derate, but determined—different from and less lute when they commence any great work ior which they have laid themselves out. Already hulf the battle is Won by the abolition of the censorship of the press in Prussia, Aus- tria, and other States of Germany. The German Parliament, or Diet, is to be called together on the twenty-fifth of March, at Dresden; and then the state of the whole German contederacy, con- sisting of thirty-mx or thirty-eight independent States, wasto be considered and definitely set- tled. The revolution, however, is only beginningin Germany, and its character will be entirely dif- ferent from that which has recently taken place in France. The latter was the impulsive and positive accomplishment of the work of acen- tury in three days; but in Germany the people will proceed step by step, as lawyers proceed in a suit at law, more resembling in this respect the old English revolution of 1640, which pre- sented a contest on legal questions between the king and the parliament, but which ultimately ended in a revolution and republic. We are not afraid of Germany. The work is begun, and there cannot be a doubt but that the movement now in progress there will not rest until the whole race of Germans, numbering between for- ty and fifty millions of people, in the centre of Europe, will form a federal republic of their own, which will probably be the most success- ful republic that ever will be exhibited in the world. In Italy, the revolution is also beginning. In that beautiful lend, with its excitable popula- tion, the movement will partake more of the French than of the German revolution; but we cannot hesitate to believe that the Italians, from the Alps to the Mediterranean, will continue the work of agitation and reform in one shape or another, till the whole of that peninsula will be re-united in one nation, under a republican form of government, on the federal system. The lesser movements of Saxony, Cracow, Holland, Spain, and the north of Europe, in- cluding Ireland and other parts of the British empire, are hardiy worth mentioning beside the great movements in France, Italy, and Ger- many; but, taken all together, Europe pre- sents one of the most extraordinary specta- cles that ever took place, or that can ever take place hereafter. No one could have anticipated such a state of things, so suddenly, but those who were instructed in the signs and the expressions of public opinioa in sucha free country as the United States, and who may have travelled over the old world leisurely, and marked the symp- tom of change in progress there. This revolu- tion we saw, and marked, and predicted a year ago, during our tour in Europe, through France, Italy and Germany. We are now only astonished at the rapidity with which the movements fol- low each other—at tbe feebleness of the mo- narchical syetem—at the immense strength of the people, and the progress of liberty, of all kinds, in so short a time. Ia such a position of things, and with such move ments before us in the old world, it is pro- per that the United Siates should deliberate calmly andconsiderately on our present position, just as we are going into another political election, ‘or the purpose of electing a chief magistrate, and giving a new and defiaite action to the go- vernment of this great republic. The Mexican war has closed brilliantly for the arms of the Uaited States—prilliantly for the genius and skill of our military leaders—although somewhat ob- scured by a subsequent farce of courts martial and courts of inquiry now holding in Mexico. But perhaps no mighty tragedy can be right- fully performed on the real stage of human life, without some broad farce to cheer up the droop- ing epirits, by way of a close to the entertain- ment, s the case on the mimic stage of our theatres. Yet we have gained great credit and great honor by the recent events in Mexico. The position of Europe calls the United States into a new attitude towards the civilized world; aud it may be well for the people, throughout the whole republic, to reflect deeply onthe necessity of elevating some one of our greatest, noblest and most intellectual men to the office of chiet magistrate. Our military chieftains, of late, have not shown much capacity for civil affairs, nor for comprehending the movements connected with the march of intel- lect and general improvement. They are great only in the battle-field—elsewhere they are more fit to be actors in a farce or a comedy. It may be a question, in such a position of public affairs, and looking abroad over the list of our public men, whether the candidates for the Presidency should pot be selected by the different parties from their highest statesmen—such as Mr. Cal- houn, Mr. Webster, Mr. Clay, Mr. Benton, or Mr. Buchanan—rather than from their military chieftains, or from the catalogue of second and third-rate politicians who have been ruling the country for the last eight or ten years, The American republic has an important role to play io the hisiory of civilization and the human race, during the next halfcentury. Europe has copied her spirit, and is now moulding her conduct after ourexample. Let us take care in the approach- ing election to show thet iutellect—mentel power and statesm-"s!ip—have more weight with us than mere uaked, undressed military talent, weil enovgh for the battle-fizld, but hard- ly fit for the great movement of the new age.

Van Buren has received a like invitation, to which he replied very cour- teously, that the personal relations between him and Mr. Clay were such as would lead him to accept the invitation; but differing in some po- litical opinions, he thought there was a majority of balances in his mind that made it most pru- dent to decline, with many thanks for the honor done him. We say ditto to Mr. Van Buren, and beg Mr. Dodge to consider Mr. Van Buren’s re- ply ae ours, We shall send a corps of reporters, however, to give the public a {ull account of the eloquence, the soup, the wit, the roast beef, the intellect, the pudding, and the jokes that may be contributed on the occasion—and this is more than Mr. Van Buren can do.

The Sul.an received bim with great kindness end attention, and asked @ great many questions im relation to the objects of the expadition, Lieutenant eh presented the Sultan with several valuable American works, twoof them upon the North Awericau Indians, with some Size engravings of the chiefs, and also seve- ral volumes of the “Natural History of New York,” with numerous engravings. The Sultan received them moat gTacioualy, an interest and that Lieutenant Lynoh and those who accompanied him were highly delighted with their reception. It was the intention of Lieutenant Lynch to set sail without further delay for the Coast of Syrie, in order to CorporstionTheir Promised [eforme ‘We have already taken ogeasion to notice the j conduct of the present Common Council, and their scandalous repudiation of the doctrine of reform aadecosomy which they so impudentiy and unblushingly thrust forward upon their baa- nersin the spring of 1847~and as impudently, and scandaloysly, and shamefully neglected to perform, during their year of office; but the day of reckoning is at hand, and with the excite- ment now prevailing, they are called up for judgment before the people. Mayor Brady, in his ingugural address last spring, gave these worthies a proper cue to move in this busi- ness, and commented, with much earnest- ness, on the necessity for economy in the public expenditures of the eity government. He told them the actual condition of the finances of the city, and dwelt in particular upon the enormous and extravagant expenditure for printing and stationery, which doubtless must have been in- serted in Mayor Brady’s address at the sugges” tion of the veritable Alderman McElrath—the Fourierite Alderman McElrath—the pious Alder- maa McElrath—whose indignation at the cele- brated ‘oil contracts” had been at one time so much aroused. In looking over the Comptroller’s report for the year 1847, we find a variety of matter, which shows the game of political hum- bug that has been played, which surpasses, in point of imposition and outrageous extravagance, any bare-faced thing of the kind ever before held outbefore the people.

We will not dwell on the state of the sewerage, the scanda- lous condition of the streets; but, to return to thie * economical” printing bill, what, we should ask, is meant by the item, “ Subscription, $200 tothe Journal ef Commerce, Globe, Commercial, and Evening Post?” These jouraaleshouid only receive, under this head of “subscription,” $10 each; so the city is mulcted and gulled out of a sum ef $760, by this single operation. The Tri- dune is modest in its charge of $100; but, by the game operation, febs the nice sum of $94. To dissect this single printing concern alone, would take us @ week. But the document in it- self is a public exposure of the operations of the different wire-pullers behind the scenes. We should like that body to present a copy of the Comptroller’s report to each of their constituents —furnish an appendix, and attach thereto an at- tested copy of the yeas and nays on each and every one of these items. This would pull out from behind the scenes the machinery of the ope- rations—show up for public exposure the petty influences behind the curtain, and give this com- munity an insight into the manner in which this Common Council have endorsed and carried out the reform doctrine paraded by them before the last spring election, and made the subject of grave imposition upon Mayor Brady, to parade for effect in his inaugural address. Mayor Brady earnestly; commended these reforms, and urged prompt and immediate action thereon, stating with much candor, that it was not in his power to “‘origi- nate” these movements; but he would strenuously co-operate, in any and every measure; and the whole time bas been spent in each board in hum- bugging, gulling and deluding the community, instead of co-operating with the Mayor, who very wisely, at the start, put the matter upon their shoulders. We cannot see how any man, then, among this body, with the sin of ‘“imposi- tion” on his shoulders, can approach the elec- tors of this city. The yeas and nays will settle these questions, unless they concurred in the 1m- position. Let us next look at the amount of tax —$2,581,776 30. Somonstrousa levy, doubtless, taised on sale of the manure taken off the streets, would be almost sufficient to maintain a State government. Mx. Poix anp Tue Secazts or Dirtomacy.— Mr. Polk has recently sent into the Senate a cor- respondence which has taken place between the United States Post Office Department and the British government in relation to the postal ar- rangements between the two countries. his correspondence was previously published in the columas of a journal of this city, and must have been communicated to that journal either by the President, or by Cave Johnson, or probubly by both of them. This was as mucha violation of confidence, and a contempt of the Post Office Department, as the publication of the Mexican treaty by us.— Will Mr. Polk request Mr. Hannegan, of the Senate, to make an investigation, also, into this violation of confidence, previous to the delivery of the correspondence to the Senate?’ We must have some person imprisoned at once. Wecan- not think Mr. Buchanan has had a hand in this affair; it is much more likely that it has leaked out from Cave Johnson, or some other person — Atall events, Mr. Polk is bound to pursue the enquiry, Snows soups. or otbet. Tux Gas Monoro.y.—We pay the'gas company, which has the monopoly of supplying the citizens with gas in the city, at the rate of $2 500 per an- num. Their rate, we think, is about $7 per foot, as it is called; and according to the best caleu- the company could manufacture the nd have a good prc fit upon it, at the rate of two and a balf or three dollars per foot This is a monstrous extortion, which is made legal by act of the Legislature, and neces- sary, from the want of enterprise among mavy who use the gas in large quantities. We think t is time to have a change. In some of the theatres and other establishments, a local appa- ratus for manufacturing gas on the premises has been constructed, and carried into operation with great success. We muet try a similar plan. We therefore request those ingenious persons who have invented an isolated apparatus for generating gas to call at our office, and see if we cannot make some arrangements for making gos on our own premises. By the improvemeots ined them # long time with great | now going on we shall have plenty of accom- fection. Our account further states | modation for making our own gas, and we mean to earry it on, and save at least $2000 an- nually, which is now,thrown away upona The Chartor Election, The chatter election for city officers comes off to-day, and the politi¢iens of the several parties all seem sanguine of succe: The nominations are all completed, though from present indica- tions there will be some trouble among the diffe- rent factions of the differeat parties.

An immense meeting convened this evenin; in the saloon of the Chinese museum, compoi of the friends of [reland, of all political parties, who came together for the Purpose of giving an expression of sympathy for the patriots of the Emerald Isle, who are now about to strike an- other, and to be hoped, more successful blow in the glorious cause of political and religious free- dom. Honor to France, too, was one of the fea- tures of the meeting, and recreant indeed was that heart to-republicanism, whictt did not beat in unison with the hearts of the French people, who have se nobly triumphed over royalty, an established the fundamental principle that the masses of the present ewa are {jully capable of governing themselves, .The vast assemblage was called to order by his honor, Mayor Swift, who, after the delivery of um appropriate speech upon the occasion the citizens had been called together to celebrate, nominated Robert Tyler as President of the meeting, after which a large number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries were appointed. The appointment of officers having been com- pleted, Mr. Tyler rose and delivered a warm and enthusiastic speech. He urged that the pre- gent was the fitting opportunity ter Ireland—an opportunity which had long een wanting to commence the struggle for liberty—an opportu- nity which must inevitably result in the re- demption of the Irish people from the bonds of British royalty. Mr. Tyler having concluded, the address was read, and received with the greatest enthusiasm; after which a large number of speakers address- ed the meeting.
