We have already announced the re-election of Mr. Mason, of Virginia, and Mr. Bright, of Indi- ana—both democrats. The re-election of Mr. Yulee, (dem.) of Florida, is also probable, by the Legisiature of that State, now in session. In Cali- fornia, the defeat of Colonel Fremont (dem.) is more than probable, according to the last accounts from that State. I: will be seen, by our account of the proceedings of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, that Richard Brodhead (democrat) has been elected United States Senator for six years, from March next, to succeed Dr. Sturgeon, of the same politics, who hes represented the State for two Senatorial terms. Mr. Brodhead represented the Northampton dis- tict in the House of Representatives, in the tweaty- minth and thirtieth Congress. He is a thorough democrst, favorable to a moderate protective tariff, and opposed to the abolitionists in every shape. He will, Joubtless, make a good Senator. Penn- sylvania will, therefore, continue to be represented, as at present, by a whig and democrat in the | Senate, both tariff men. In Missouri, ‘he attempts to elect a Senator to sveceed Mr. Benton, it appears, have proved unsuc- ecesful, the Legislature being divided into three parties, viz, whig, Benton, and anti-Benten. Itis impossible to predict the result with any confi dence, but we cannot perceive any prospects of the re-election or Mr. Benton, the whigs and anti- Ben ton parties having nearly two-thirds of the Legisla tere on joint ballot. In Massachusetts, the coalition of democrats and free soilers, which had been succeseful in the choice of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Councillers, ard State officers, have thus far failed to elect a Senator of the United States to sucered Mr. Win- throp, several democrats having refused to vote for the favorite of the free soilers, Charles Sumner, a free sil whig. As the free soilers insist upon his election as part of the bargain between the con- tractiog parties, a failure on the part of the demo- erats will doubtless cause a@ breach that will not easily be healed. The Boston Post, and some other democratic presses in Massachusetts, take a decided stand against the coalition. In Ohio, no choice of Senator had been even at- tempted, by our last accounts from Columbus, the damocrats and whigs both refusing to co- aleece with the free soilera, who hold the balance of power in the Legislature. lu New Jersey, the contest will be close and dounmfal for a Senator to succeed Mr. Dayton, @whig ) The democrats have a majority of only two in the Assembly, and the Senate is equally di- vided. Com. Stockton, Mr. Thomson (democratic eandidate for Governor in 1844), Mr. E. V. B Wright, and Stacy B. Potts, are named as candi- dnt I Delaware, a democrat wil! doubtless be cho- sen ucceed Mr. Wales, one of the present whig Senate Twe Aprvtant Gavenat's Rerort.—We pubd- lish, in another columa, the annual report of the A nt General of the militia of this Stare red by order of the gentleman who has just retired from that station, Samuel Stevens, Esq kt ecahibite a very meagre account of the doings of the militia organization of State; and if not! more has been accomplished by this arm of our Bational and State defence than what is thus com- Municated officielly, under oath of commission and office, then we apprehend the sooner the Adju- tant General's office becomes abolished by the I givlatu better for the interests of the State. Where can be the arcessity of supporting a general and his at saleries of nearly two thousand dollars a year, stationery, postage, printing, and | Other expenses, amounting to as much more, and surtendering one of the most spacious and conve- | nient roome in the capitol for an office, which is so | much wanted for important public business? We Pespectfully suggest to the Legislature, whether it would not be an excellent policy to abolish the | office of Adjutant General, and transfer the very small duty which, it seems, ie now performed by its two incumbenta, to the private secretary of the Commander-in- Chief. in relation to the receipt of commutation moneys, we find that the city of New York and county of Richmond, comprising the first division, contri- buted the sum of @14,6%4 36, and that there hae) been expended for military purposes, under the di- Tection of the Board of Officers, the sum of $7,993 57, leaving in the hands of the Receiver of Taxes an amount of $6,026 subject to the order of the Board in 1851. No portion of the sum of @59 66, eollected in Richmona county, remains in the hands of the county treasurer, the whole having been withdrawn In the year 1948, being the first year when the commutation fund wes reported by the Adjatant General, there was collected ia forty. four couaties, exclusive of New York, the eum of $21,826. The | present report for 1550, shows an aggregate obtain in forty-eight counties, including New York, of | 980,422, showing an increase in two years in the other counties, of $2,912. Many of the counties | have fallen off—for instance, Albany, Allegany, | Dutchess, Kinge, Reneselaer,JOteego, and Genesee; | while the contrib somewhat increased 8 «St. Law Suffolk, W asbington; } tions have ner, Ontario, anda few ¥en, where it is pene more active and stringent measures were taken by the officers to enforce the provisions of the present militia lawe. It has been a subject of much remark at the War Department at Washington, and often wondered at by military men in this State, why Pennsylvania and Ohio should furnish a larger quota of militia in their aunual returns to the President of the United States than New York, when it isso weil known that the population of our State heavily exceeds each of those States. Itisiperceived that the returns to the Adjutant General’s office forthe year 1860, show an increase of strength, over 1848, of 46,116 and over 1849 of 31,045. This increase is obtained by the comtinued activity of the subalteras and non- commissioned officers, detailed in warning orders. We are still fer short of an enumeration of our real force; if correctly reported, our strength would number fall 300,000 militia in the State of New Yerk; and it is very desirable for the people, that the entire force should be reported at the War Deparment at Washington, as upon the numbers thus reported, is issued to this State its annual quota of arms from the general government. Cuaxces or Smvueeiine.—The recent seizure, at Boston, by the Custem House authorities, of the Briueh steamship Niagara, has caused much dis- cussion in commercial circles. On Monday last, by an arrangement between Mr. Lunt, a United States District Attorney, and Mr. Whiting, the at- torney of the agent for the trustees of the British North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Com- pany, the vessel was appraised at two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, and the agent himself, Mr. S. S. Lewis, and Capt. Leitch were received as bondsmen, when the steamer was released from custody. it appears that fifty packages, containing silks, sating, and laces, valued at five thousand dollars, were found in the boat andin possession of one Joseph Dolliver, boatman, of East Boston, who has been arrested, and an account of whose examina- tion yesterday will prove interesting, as he is charged with infringing the laws of the United States, for the purpose of defrauding the revenue. The ship’s butcher, Robert. Brownlow, has fled to parts unknown, thus arousing the suspicion that he was engaged in the illegal business. Having thus stated the facts, we are prepared, in connection with the records of the examination, to form an opinion that clears the owners of the vessel, or the officers of it, of any participation in this very serious infraction of the laws established for the protection of the revenue; yet there have been so many foreign goods, especially satins, silks and velvets, smuggled through our ports during the paet year, that every honest merchant must rejoice im the detection of any act which may tend to alarm those who are engaged in such business. There have been many such transactions, we have reason te believe, in this city, and within a few menths, which have escaped the authorities; but, being now put upon their guard, they may take such measures as will effectually secure the public trom these dishonest practices, which not only de- fraud the government, but are ruinous to the busi- ness of honorable merchants. A strict enforce- ment of the penalties, in the Boston case, will go far towards curing the evil; but there will still be a necessity for uncommon alaerity upon the part of the Custom House officers all along the coast, to terminate a trade which has too long existed with j™mpwnity. Commissary GENERAL’s Rerort.—We give in this merning’s Herald the first annual report of Brigadier General Daniel Lee, Commissary Gene- rel of this State. It was communicated to the Legislature on the 10th instant, and contains a to- lerably full statement of the military establishmen of the State. Under the law of the last session, the General ucceeded in disposing of several of the tot- tering and dilapidated gua houses, called ar- senals—one still remaining unsold at Malone, Franklin county. He has also disposed of a num- ber of old rusty cannon, which should have been melted twenty-five years ago ; and the Legislature should at once empower him to sell every piece of ordnance, musket, rifle, pistol, sword, scabbard, and cartouch box of antiquity, which are now, and have been, fora quarter of a century, lumbering the arsenals. The General truly says—they are much decayed,daily depreciating in value, and will soon become worthless. We would advise the State to authorise the General to sell them, even if they were used in the invasion of Cuba, or em- ployed in the Nicaragua wars. The people will regret to learn that the present Commissary General is comp ‘ed te ask for aa senal in the Fifth avenue. The history of the con- struction of this establish ment is disgraceful to the State, or at least to some of its late agents. The project was, no doubt, entered into from the purest and best of motives; bat it has met with more mis fortunes, from ite conception to the present mo- ment, than any other public or private building on Manhattan Island.

Tallmadge, Brown, and D’Angelog, the deputy mar- Bals who formed the escort of Henry Long, the fugt- ‘tive slave, to Virginia, arrived in New York yesterday, after having fulfilled their mission by lodging Long in ‘Tate's private jail,in Richmond. It appears that, on searching the fugitive, e clasp Knife, with a «pring Dack, was found in his possession, and it is sapposed thet it must have been conveyed to him by some per- son before he left New York. Several members of the iooal legislature in Richmond, congratulated the mar- shais‘on heving successfully conveyed back to the South “the olive branch;” amd said that they were satisfied, from the course which had been pursued, that New York would do everything in its power to maintain its relations with its Southern sister States. Doctor Parker has, we understend, written to Doctor Smith, the owner of Long, to ask whether he will sell ‘him or net. It is thought that the abolitionists of this city, who made such an untiring resistance to the claim of Doctor Smith, will, now that the law has de- cided against them, purchase Long from bondage and send him forth to the world, what they endeavored to prove him,a freeman. It is, however, said that Doc- tor Parker has expressed himself to the effect that, to sell Long to the abolitionists would be injurious to slaveholders, inasmuch as that it would hold out s perspective freedom to all tlaves in the South, and induce many of them, who are now content, to abscond trom service. Anmivensaky oF Franxuin’s Bintn-Day.—The an- niversary of Benjamin Franklin’s birth-day will fall on Friday next, and will be celebrated in an appropriate manner by numerous typographical societies through- out the country. Preparations are being made in all quarters for this object; and from what we hear and read, the day will be more generally celebrated than it ever wae. The arrangements made for the grand ban- quet and literary exercises in this city, are nearly ill deliver the oration, and among the invited gueste will be G. P. R.

The attendance was good, though the building was not crowded. Rarely hasan annual meeting passed off more quietly and harmoniously. On the motion of the President. Mr. Oharles King, President of Columbia College, was called to the chair. Mr. Kine, im accepting the honor, said he had him- telf been brought up a merchant’selerk, and was there- fore warmly attached to this association. No better project could have beem devised for the advancement ofthe welfare of the class for which it was intended. It had done great good, and it was capable of doing more good. It began when there was no such library as it now possesses, and it has progressed till now the number of volumes is augmented to 30,000. Nor have these volumes been barren—they have been called for again and again by intelligent readers, who studied them diligently.

M- ‘There was no new feature in the stock market to- day. Prices were well maintained, but the transactions were limited. Holders of fancy stocks generally have to sustain the market, so that they can gradually work off what they have on hand. All the old houses in the ssreet are selling out, any way to suit the class of buyers now eoming in, and any turn in the market, brings im weaker operators. The bears bave not as yet made their appearance with any force, and the parties engaged in comering operations are evidently dis- appointed, at the limited amount of shorts on the market. But for the foresight of the bears, prices for mest of the leading fancies would have ruled much higher. The Erie cormer has doubtless reached its culminating point, and holders must look fer s mai Ket out of the street for their stock. They have ‘let the market down several times to induce the bears to sell, but the movement did not work as anticipated, and the large speculators have been left just where we predicted, in the lurch. At the first board, to-day. United Btates 6's advanced 3; per cent; Hudson River Railroad Bonds, second mortgage, {; Stonington, 1; Morris Canal, <; Reading Railroad, 3; Long Island, ynton Company, \; Farmers’ Loan, North American Trust, 3; Norwich and Worcester, 4. Erie Kailroad declined 1 per cent. There was a more active demand for government and State stocks, and the sales were larger than usual. All is uncertainty yet about the Harlem Railroad dividend. The cozapany having paid two semi-annual dividends on the old stock of two per cent each, may continue them, even if the money has to be borrowed for that purpose. Holders ot the stock on epeculation are of course anxious for a dividend, no matter where the money comes tro: twould not surprise us, or any one else acy with the mammer most of our inanrpnrated companian declare dividends, if evena larger per cent than has been talked of, should be paid on the Ist of February. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $152,463 37. Pay- ments $37,462 84. Balance, $2,843,646 39. The Pennrylvanis and Ohio Canal Company have declared Kentucky Benk a semi-annual dividend ‘of 44 per cent, and an extra dividend of 2 per cent; the North. ern Bank of Kentucky semi-annual dividend of 5 percent, andthe Minehili Railroad « dividend of 7 per cent. ‘The tenth instalment of five dellars per share of the second subscription, aud fourth instalment of fire dollars per share of th: bscription of 1850, to the capital ateck of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, ‘will be due on the lst of February, proximo. ‘The Governor of Mississippi, in his message to the Legislature of that Btate, gives @ very favorable ac- count ofthe public finances. On the Ist of October, 1850, there was in the treasury the sum of $488 194 55. B revenue for the two years ending October lat 0. wan $620,795 29; and it i estimated that the re- venue for ¢ xt two years, if there be no change in the present laws, will not fall short of $650,800. The smount of taxable property in the State is set down at $70,466 647 97; of which the assessed value of lands is of town lots, $22.441,468; of siaves, \d other personal property, $7,731,508 20 The State debt is $956,261, but from this are to be deducted $272,2€3 30, the amount of State stock in the nd the bank the principal, anda further sum of $55.069 €0—leaving the actual indebtedness of the Btate $649 908 10. During the present year, $265.261 of this debt will fall due, a: hich has to be provided yy the Legisiature.
