M— VERY AFTERNOON AND EvEN~ The Steamer’s News, Atmospheric electricity interrupted the opera- ‘tion on the telegraphic line to the East, last mght, and we are, therefore, without any intelligence of the steamer. No news of her arrival had reached Boston at ten minutes before five o’clock yesterday afternoon. Our State Election—The Result and the Consequences. ‘The exact result of the election in this State is not yet known; but from the returas on hand it would appear that the contest has been remarkably close."'The whigs, however, have the great advantage of securing the spoils of this great city, with its immense influence in our State and national polities, and the chances are in their favor over the State at large. What will be the consequences of this curious result? William H. Seward and Thurlow Weed, will doubtless make the most of it, to secure the control | of the whig party of New York for the future. Seward is ambitious andcunning. At the last ses- sion of Congress, he volunteered his services to the administration unconditionally ; but his zeal was aflected. He could not use the cabinet, and it will be to his interest to change it. With Ewing alone, he is supposed to be on the best terms of a good understanding ; and with a few more of the same kind, the cabinet would be all right, for the arrangement of his plans for the succession, after the second term of General Taylor. worked hard, but waited patiently through the second term of General Jackson, and then came in very handsomely. Seward seems to be bent upon a similar experiment, however strong the odds against him. One effect of this movement, how- ever, will be to abolitionize the whig party of this State more decidedly than heretofore, and to widen the breach between the politicians of the North and South. ‘The democrats are placed in a position still more perplexing. If the coalition of the hunkers and Van Buren | barnburners is continued upon the tree soil plat- | form, the democratic party 1s denationilized, and eannot unite with the South in support of a Presi- | dential candidate; if they attempt to fall back upon the platform of General Cass, they are again div ded and lose the State. In any view, it isdoubtful | She isan island, and her vessels must go over the | Tus Asrgct or Evrorg.—It 1s hardly time yet to hear the result of the Russo-Ottoman question. To know whether the Autocrat will take up the gauntlet which the Porte has indignantly thrown to his feet, and send his Cossacks to make good his imperial threat, we must wait for another steamer—per! still longer. ‘ But in the Zio. although the surface ¢7r the great stream of Europeon affairs seems calmer than before, it 1s evident that the continent 1s sleeping on the bosom of a volcano. Two hun- dred millions of men, in whose bosoms the hope of liberty has been so recently kindled, will not bé driven tamely back to their kenmels—fer this new flame, although smothered, has wot been quenched. The fires are smouldering through all Italy, in the south of Europe—througk all Huugary, in the cen- tre ef the continent. France, robbed of the soul of liberty, while she remains a republic in form, is, at heart, republican still; and as France feels, so will Earope. She has been, since the time of Francis I, the magnetizing power of Europe; she will be so in the future, France means Paris, and Paris means the French people—for the depart- ments are all represented in the capital by thou- sands of their citizens—and it seems to be arule of Gallic histoiy, that the splendid concepuons ef Paris shall be executed by the heroic bone and sinew of the provinces. France, then, is festering with the remembrance of several things. 1. That, for centuries—beginning withthe white plume of Hemy of Navarre, which was the ori- flamme of Gaul in her days of tnal down to the victo1y of Avsterlitz—she has a history of heroic triumph. She is impatient to renew those days. 2. She remembers the retreat from Moscow, and across her fancy, in dreams, floats the vision of Cosseck riders sweeping aloag the faltering co- lumrs of Napoleoa, as they went staggering back to their homes throvgh the blasts of a Poland win- ter. There isa great vengeance yet to be wreak- ed by Frence, for the bodies of her gallant men eaten by wolves before they were dead. 8. She has not forgotten Waterloo! The wound- ed pride of that gallant nation is awaiting the hour when she can erase that pwinful page in her history. It was no disgrace of France that all Europe could defeat her, but she felt itas a disgrace. She is determined to wipe it out—she will! 4. She has not forgouen the dismemberment of Poland—the fall of Warsaw. She has held thou- sands of Poles, for nineteen years, guests in her capital, and they have made her hate Prussia. 5. But she has felt a later and more touching sympathy. She has followed Hungary in all her fortunes. Hardly could Frenchmen be held back from rushing into the recent combat, and ninety- nine Frenchman in an hundred, have longed for Hungary to lift her bleeding form once more, that they might be with her when she struck her final blow. Monsieur Thiers may prate in his Constitutionnel about moderation, which means monarchy, and justify the expe- dition to Rome, which has turned out so disgrace- ful an affair for Louis Napoleon ; it is all useless, France will not be wheedled into another Roman expedition. If her brave soldiers must again pass historian of La Revolution,” ‘Le Consulat,” | and “L’Empire,” 18 a man of vast genius, for government, for books, and for fortifieations. But France understands his real policy; his presen; position. He is too feeble to resist the current of popular feeling in the land of Bonaparte and La- martine. And England, (for Spain 1s severed from Europe —Portugal nobody thinks of, exeept whea Port wine 1s on the table—Sweden, Holland, Bavaria, Switzerland, Wertemburgh, and some score or two of other States in the centre of Europe, are then, powerful, opuleat England. What of her? What will she do? What is her position? No nation will attack her—she spent three thousand million of dollars in putting dowa Napoleon. She will spend no more in euch games. Oaly three things can now drag England into a European war: First—Attack from without, and what na- tion’will attack her? Second—The loss of her commerce, or rather the prospect of impairing 1t. whether the terrible split of 1848 can ever be heal- | gea for wealth.

She had, at one time, reured from the field, during the stragé gle with Nepoleon, and given over the conflict, and ignominiously yielded to the peace of Tilswt. But her commerce was not and could not be free while Napoleon ruled France. The Berlin and Milan decrees attempted to close the continent against British manufactures. This was the object of those idle efforts of the French Emperor. Ie reasoned well; he knew that he had conquered the world, and the last enemy left to vanquish was British gold. He thought he could slowly sap the castle he could not carry by storm. He was mis- taken.

It was whispered, » @ short time since, that Auguste Belmont, the agent of the celebrated banking-house of Rothschilds, had pop- ped the question, and solicited the hand of the beautiful daughter ef @ well-known and gallant naval officer, whose career had reflected honor om his country. Soon the rumor spread, and created s bus in parlors and drawing-rooms up town. It was hardly credited by the wealthy dames with marriageable daughters, when they first heard it, but soon all doubts were removed by the announcement that Mr. Belmont ‘was positively engaged to the charming Miss Caroline Slidell, daughter of Commodove M. C. Perry, and that the wedding day was fixed. But the friends of both parties were doomed to encounter a little touch of disappointment before they should have the pleasure of witnessing the tying of the nuptial kn for a dey or two previous to the time appointed for tl interesting ceremony to take place, the bride became indisposed, and a delay of @ short time was deemed ad. visable. New cards were irsued as coon as she was con- valezcent, and another day, the 7th inst. ,{appointed for consummating the engayement, and bringing the court- ehip to an appropriate termination. On that day the sun shone most brilliantly; the atmosphere was as balmy as the bride was beautisal; not a cloud eould be observed in the heavens; and before twilight set im, “the twain were one flesh,” the marriage ceremony having been performed by the Rev. Francis Vinton, D. Din the Chureb of the Accension in this city. . Previous to this highly important and very interest- ing movemeat in the fashionable circles in this metro- polis, the came classes in Boston were agitated by a report that Mr, Bx-Spceaker Winthrop was about to lead to the altar of Hymen, the amiable and accom- plished Mrs. Wells, whove weelth and accom. pishments had for a long time previously been the topic of conversation in the city of notions and crooked stveets, Preparations of a svitablo cha- racter, and on a proper ccale, were made in due season, and on the 6th inst., the amiable, beautiful, and ac- complished Mrs. Weil, became the amiable, beautiful: and accomplished Mrs, Ex-Speaker Winthrop. Ansther event to which the residents in the fashiona- ble portion of New York looked forward to with much anxiety and interest, was the arrival of Signorina Ba- cutta, the prima donna whom Max Maretzeck had en- gaged, while in Europe last summer, as prima donna fo the Astor Place Opera House. That lady’s brilliant pertormanees caused the marine list of the daily jour- nals to be eagerly scanned every morning, in the hope of it announeing her arrival, and this search was main- tained until Tuesday last, when the steamship Wash- ington, in which it was known the talented prima donna hud taken passage, bad arrived at New York, and that the lady bad successfully encountered the storms of the rough Atlantic, and reached the place which is to resound with her melody, in safe- ty. She will make her first appearence om Monday eve- ping next, as we are intormed.
