Our St. Louls Correspondence, Sr. Louis, Mo., April 6, 1849. Municipal Electton—Railroad Question—Called Session of the Illinois Leguslature—General Shields— Politicians at Fault, §c., Se. i The municipal election in this city, which took place on Monday, was scarcely a fair test of party strength, yet terminated favorably to the demo- crats. A short time previous to the day of elec- tion, the two branches of the democratic party— free soilers and radicals—agreed, for the time being, to bury the hatchet, and throughout the canvass acted together with tolerable harmony. The ticket opposed to them was native throughout, but was very generally acquiesced in by the whigs. There was a lukewarmness, however, on both sides, which prevented a full development of party strength, which is a thing very unusual in this city. The democratic majority for Mayor, Auditor, Register, and City Attorney, averaged about one hundred and fifty. The whigs carried their candidate for City Marshal by a small ma- jority. The City Council is equally divided—that is, seven democratic and five rig creeuet andl five democratic and_ seven whig Delegates. The inauguration of the Mayer, James G. Barry, takes place to-day.

Much anxiety is felt among leading, or, rather, led politicians, in relation to the Hon. ‘Thomas H. Benton’s talked-of visit to his constituency. The question is, * will he come?” and, if so, “when?” They are at a dead loss to know what to say or do on the vexed question of free soilism, and are waiting in all patience for their cue. | y Our city is filled to overflowing with Califor- nians, and hundreds are daily arriving and de- parting.

Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, recent- ly visited Bangor, and gives an amusing account in his paper of his trip from that place to, Water- ville, on his return. The journey occupied one day, during which there was a copious spring rain upon deep snow drifts. Every one who has travelled in the country, under such circumstances, knows that such a journey is not one of the most agreeable character. Mr. Greeley, however, puts the best foot first, and relates, in a good-humored manner, the mishaps of his fellow passengers, and among others of one gentleman, whe is spoken of as “good two hundred Unfortunately, Mr. Greeley forgets to narrate his own misfortunes, an omission which the Bangor, Whig supplies by the following ludicrous picture furnished by the ‘good two hundred gentleman” :— Now this gentleman is one of our neighbors, and he wishes us to re- quest Mr. Greeley to state the circumstances of the ripping off the sole of his own fork his falling in love with, and purchasing a pair of down-east lumberman’s boots, we hing fifteen pounds, and the purchase of a pair of stockings extra, at a farm-house to steady his feet in them; and also the splitting of one leg of his pantaloons from the bottom to the knee, and the figure he cut us the loosened cloth dangled between. his legs, or spread out like an otter’s tail, while the leg went down the hundred drifts to drink, as Mr. G. made headway for dinner.

The Alabama is a noble vessel, and her master, Capt. Baker, isa fine sailor and a perfect gentle- man. We arrived off Chagres to-day, at three o’clock.. I was agreeably disappointed in the ap- pearance of the place. How persons of common reeption, with any candor at all, could write ack to the United States such descriptions of Chagres as I have seen going the rounds of the pers, is more than I can understand. As to its Belng "the sickiiest place im all creation," I can see nothing to warrant the assertion. True, a Mr. Townsley, of Ohio, lost his wife here, a few days ago, and he himself is considered upon the verge of death; and Dr. Smith, also of Ohio, is alinost hopelessly ill; but all these misfortunes are not chargeable to Chagres. ‘The lady alluded to was wrecked, and in petting to shore was prema- turely confined; and her husband’s sickness ori- ginated from exposure, -&c. when he left New Orleans.

During the corresponding week last year the shipments from Schuylkill county were 34,187 06 tons. ‘The quantity sent to market from this region, this year, falls hort of the supply to same period last year, 93,000 tons, in round numbers.
