This Morning’s News The official returns of the election in this State, which are now beginning to come in, are different im almost every instance from the reports previ- ously received, and the variance is generally in favor of the demosrats. ‘ The Devil's half acro,” az the late Gen. Root used to designate a certain dark corner in Delaware county, bas been heard | from, and it iz found that the anti-renters threw their fuel into the democratic furnace, and have, consequently, blown the whigs sky high. Of course, it is still impossible to get at the real facts, but the way in which the matter mow stands, it is more than probable that the whigs have lest the control of the Canal Board, and perhaps the Legislature Nothing but the complete official returns will sottlethe difi- eulty.

Hall, No. 44 RELSY. alifornia and its Results, The acquisition of California, by the administra- tion of the late of Mr. Polk, has, in two years anda half, produced as great an effect on the commercial movements and affairs of the United States and of the world, as the discovery of the route to India by the Cape of Good Hope, or that of America did in a century and a half after the passage of Colum- bus. These results present a series of condensed miracles in a miraculous age. When Sam Swart- wout, in the Custom House of New York, and Sam Houston, in the swamps and plains of Texas, com- menced the first revolutionary movement, near the battle Geld of San Jacinto, little was it thought or | believed, in either the United States or Europe, that such astonishing miracles, such prodigious re- sults, would ensue. The battle of San Jacinto led to the independence of Texas; the independence of Texas led to a war between the United States and that bastard and broken down republio ofthe South. That war, amidst all the opposition of those who have benefitted most by its results, produced placers of heroes and placers of gold in equal abundance and in equal richness. Our heroes are so numerous that we actually do not know what to do with them; but the gold coming from the valleys and gulches of the territory acquired, bas been the means of re- | peating, in less than three years, in a concentrated form, the wonders and results of a new India on the trade of the world. But figures of rhetoric, in this steam-going, elec- | tric, calculating, mathematical age, de not amount — to much, without the figures of arithmetic. Here, therefore, are the figures, in Arabic characters, which simply and plainly tell the results of the ac quisition of California, so much deprecated by the | politicians of the day :— SHIPMENTS OF GOLD FROM CALIFORNIA. fests.

Of this amount, it is estimated thirty-five millions of dollars worth was received at this port during the present year, thirty millions last year, and twenty- five millions in 1849. In addition to this, nearly all the bullion that was taken from California by pri- vate hands, has been received at this port. Large, — however, as these sums are, inthe aggregate, the | real productiveness of California is only sow in the gorm of its magnificent developement. It is esti- mated, by competent persons in San Francisco, that the yisld of gold for the present year will amount to one hundred and fifteen millions of dollars—two- thirds of which, it is expected, will have beea re- ceived in New York, and one-third in New Orleans, majority of twenty-six in the Legislature; but there are one hundred and eight»em vacancies to be filled, of which the coalitionist: may get enough to give them the predominance. ‘The finances of the country are in @ very favora- ble condition. California has added immensely to the metallic currency of the world, and the prospect Bever was better for a supply of gold dust equal to apything ever anticipated. Very few realize the extent of the production of California gold. Mgre than two hundred millions of dollars, in gold dust, have been extracted from the svil of that seo tion of the world in a little more than three years. It is this accession to our currency that has given and in ports of foreign ccuntries! The effects of this vast addition to the circulat- | ing medium of the country and ef the world, are exhibited in our midst and around us—especially in the city of New York. The specie thus drawn from the bowels of the earth in California, forms the basis of a solid increase to our commercial credits te the amount probably of six hwndred mil- lions of dollars, in this country andin Europe. The evidence of such augmentation in this metropolis is palpable. We sce it in the increase of splendid buildings; im the magnificence of the private | dwellings erected within the past year or two; in the increased value of labor and real estate; and in the general improvement and momentum in everything pertaining to life and civilization. California, too, has been benefitted by it. San Francisco, notwith- such an impetus to every great interest of the country; and so long as the receipts continue at the rate already realized, we need apprehend no revul- sion that will arrest our progress, Occasional ehecks may occur; but our course must be onward, andina years we shall be able to trade with other nations on our own capital. A painful report has reached us of the loss of several lives by the burning of a cotton factory at Philadelphia, last eveniog. The fire commenced in the lower part of the building, and so rapid was its progress that the workmen in the upper part ‘were cut off from the stairs, and compelled to make their escape through the windows. ‘This is another warning of the serious effects of not having more than one or two ways of egress in houses where a large number of persons are employed.

These trials will be of very great importance, and t results will be looked forward to with a great dea! of | interest. They will test, in & very material degree, | the feelings between the North aud the South, aud | bave avery great influence on the future move- ments and connection between these different parte of the republic.

The steam marine of the country has been increased with a rapidity unexampled in navalarchitecture. Thirty steamers of the first class, navigating the Pacific and Atlantic, hare grown out of it. The railroads of the Union, the manufacturing interests of the North, acd the planting interests of the South, | have all received a fresh impetus. Railroad secu- ies to the amount, probably, of one hundred mil- ions of dollars, have been created by this addition tothe metallic wealth of the country. Our com- mercial spirit and enterprise have received a like impetus. All branches of trade, and even of amuse- ment, have been benefitted by it; and every depart. ment of industry has been favorably affected by this actonishing movement, which is only in its in- fancy, and destined te expand, from day to day, and year to year, with the increasing power of pro- It is singular, too, that many of the statesmen and politicians of the Northern States, who opposed, at every step, the series of measures which had their origin with Sam Swartwout in New York, and Sam Hovston in Texas, and which led to these vast and wonderful results, have been more bene- fitted by them than any other class of our popula- tion. Even the business of the abolition merchants has been augmented by the very movements and measurce which they opposed and denouncsd. Such is one of the peculiarities of the acquisition of California, and the results that have down from its accomplishment The vast success of this California movement, | and the impetes which it has thus given to the ener- gies of the United States, in every poiat of view, | naturally lead the public mind to discover, if it can, some similar movement that is likely to be attended with similar results at some fature day We accordingly see revolutionary movements on foot in other parte of Mexico. At three different points of that half ruined republic the revola- | tionary spirit is breaking out against the central goverpment—particularly in the mineral regions— the gold and silver mines of which, it is thought, exceed in richness and abundance those of Califor- | ria, but which now yielding nothing, because there is no population there capable of working them to advantage The acquisition by the United States of that part of the Mexican republic, by rome future movement, would bring within the action of American enterprise those mines, the reputed wealth of which exceeds that of the placers of our new State on the Pacific. Sach an acquisi- tion by the United States, isnot an improbable event at no distant day. Many intelligent statesmen and merchante in Mexico, as well as other classes ofthe population in that country, sre anxiously awaiting the time when they mey come under the influence of thit great republic, in the sawe mannerasthe broken | down nations of antiquity sought to be ineorpo- rated with the oman republic. During the next of Congr something may transpire that will beve a tendency to promote such @ movement ; and, judging by the experience of the past, it is pot likely that any consilerable portion of the North would oppose it, for, as that portion of the Union has been #0 much benefitted by the acquisi- tion of Califorsia, they might expect to be further benefitted by further acquisitions in the same direc- tion i Crear Postage —What are the friends and advocates of cheap portage doing!

Before that took place, she was always esteemed as a pure minded daughter of Erin, a beautiful artiste, an exquisite vocalist, and everything that could exalt her asa woman and @ genius. She is now esteemed in & still higher degree—she is regarded with admira- tion, as a lady of high principles, high spirit, and correct fecling—a woman of decided capacity, in- telligence, and moral courage. Her position among the numerous artists of high rank in this city, is of the highest character. She is now free from all entangling and troublesome annoyances, andthe great question in relation to hernow is, what will bo her next movement '—for on that depends the pro- longed existence of some opera troupes, the posi tion of artists, and the prospects of many profes- sional persons, both men and women, But before shedding further light upon that field of speculation, let us take a brief review of the recent | | explosion, which exhibits so many complications | caleulated to annoy a woman of high spirit, ele- ganee, and refined feelings. We all know the popularity with which Miss Hayes was received in this metropolis—her name, her fame, ber reputation, and high worth, had all preceded her. She at once took the highest rank as a cantatrice— different and distinct from all other artists, and with characteristics peculiar to herself. She made her first appearance in Tripler Hall, on the 23d of September. Since that time she has | given about twenty-five concerts, producing nearly | $30,000. The largest proportion of these proceeds has arisen from the New York concerts, which have been very successful, very fruitful of dollars to the musical speculators, and of drinks to the oyster | house critics, but of very little benefit to the fair artiste herself. Out of this sum of nearly $30,000, | we have ascertained, upon pretty good authority, | | that she bas received $4,000, or a little over. Only think of it! We have, therefore, a balance of | 24,000, or $25,000, realized principally by her | labors, which somebody has got; but who it is, | noboty knows. This sad and melancholy Flemish account of the fruits af the beautiful cancatrice’s songs, almost rivals the Flemish accounts of the late United States Bank, the present New York Corporation, or the Mexican commission of last year. ‘The question is, what has become of all this money, | which has been divided as hungry wolves divide a tender fawn of the wilderness—one set on one side of the Atlantic, and the other on this side, swallow: | ing the whole in a single meal, and leaving not & much as a stiver behind? Let us give the public « little kling of the truth. Catherine Hayes ha been made the victim of musical jobbers anc managing speculators. This is true. Under + series of contracts upom contracts, lettings ané | sub-lettings, sales and re-sales, Catherine Hayes ha in musical popularity almost without a parallel ia | the musical affairs of this continent. She has bee | sold and re-sold nearly half a dozen times, by unde- labors, night and day—her notes in the evening, ard her tears in the morning—have been hawked about even in Wall street, in the shape of contracts of $5,000 a piece, like the certificates of stock in ary of the rotten banks round the country. Her treatment by these managers and bangers on is without apre- cedent in the history of the lyricdrama. One set of these managers associated with the musical critics, and regulated the oyster and grog bills, while an- other superiatended the bills and programmes,and regulated the bill stickers, and a third took charge of the tickets, and the $30,000 which have passed into “ the devil’s exchequer.” This is a clear and brief view of the complica- tions and difficulties that Catherine Hayes has suf- fered for the last few weeks that she has been la- boring in her high and honorable profession in this country. She has been laboring and travelling for others, not for berself. She has now only disco- vered her true position; but she has promptly ex- hibited the intelligence and spirit to cut the Gor- dian knot, and dash from her all the speculators that were selling and buying, and selling again, the most charming of singers. She is a free woman, and we hope she wilitake time to reflect upon her | future policy and the high position she can com- | mand, and ought to take. Her position is one of | the most unquestionable respectability and high | popularity, andatrue and wise course of policy | will lead, with unerring eertainty, to increased fame and pecuniary results which will be most satisfac- tory to herself. She has the power, if she will only wield it, to produce a snug little revolution in opera and musical affairs in this metropolis, and even to eclipse all rivals in the present day. In the | to elear up this mystery as fast as possible. The public wait. AGITATION STILL IN THE FreLD.—One of the lead- ing organs of Wm. H. Seward and the abolition tators of the North is evidently preparing for further agitation on the subject of slavery. We find in that jeurnal the following article :— ‘The question of slavery extension is not settled. It is prevent and potent to day. tthis moment California — is ccnvuleed With projected dismemberment which is to | cut off her southero haifand make ¢fits new territory— yer. ands slave territory.

What is pointed out in above extract, springs from the energy of this country to enlarge its dimensions and ite bousda- ries, on the seme principles which animated the | Roman republic for a thousand years. No aboli- tion obstructions or objurgations can prevent the natural growth of this mighty nation, nor have | they prevented ite growth during the last half con- | tury. The movements indicated in this extract, in reference to California and Northern Mexico, will | probably come up for discussion during the next | teesion of Congress. They will then assume some | form, and will probably operate to a great extent | in the reconstruction of political parties, and will effect, in a great degree, the resalt of the neat Pre sidential election.

Tue Fveirive Stave Law anp Fanatical Stave Leois.a110n.—The operation of the com: | promise measures of last Congress, since they be- came laws, has,on the whole, been satisfactory. ‘The South are assured that the North is deter- mined, in good faith, to abide by them, and to carry them all into effect—especially the Fugitive Slave Wil. Hence we see the triumph of Union candidates md Unien principles, and the overthrow of disunion- ‘sts and secessionists, in that part of the country, as exhibited by the recent elections. Even South Carolina has fallen into the Union track—or, at least, has decided that she will not secede, unless she is joined by other Southern States, of which, accorting to present appearances, there is not the most remote probability. Weare happy, also, to be alle.go state that, notwithstanding an occasional threst in the organ of Wm. H. Seward and the abolitionists in this city, abolition fanaticism in the North has been, to @ very great extent, pros- traied; and that the people who were misled by denagogues, have returned to a sense of their con- stifutional duties and obligations »s American citi- ras. This is all very pleasant to contemplate, and is rifreshing to the hearts of all patriots and friends @ true liberty. It shows that our people, if tem- prarily led away, by indulging in an abstract feling of philanthropy, and boundless, though nistaken benevolence, will retrace their steps when fhey discover their error, and will return to their iMlegianse and their duty. But this reaction in the Northern States is not yet complete. There is nore yet to be done; and until it is done, the good work will not be finished, and the abolitionists will still have a platform on which they can stand, and ® rampart from which they can still assail the South, the Union and the constitution. We allude to the laws which were passed im a time of frenzy and excitement, by the legislatures of seme of the Northern States, and which remain on their statute books to this day, prohibitiag the use of their jails for the confinement ef fugitive alaves arrested under due process of law. Both Pennsylvania and Ver- mont passed such a law, and they are unrepealed to this day. It is manifestly the duty of these States to wipe off this stain from their otherwise fair escutcheons, at the earliest possible moment. There are also enactments making it felony for State officers to assist in the capture of said fugitives. This latter enactment, or clause, we need hardly say is unconstitutional, and there- fore void, for no State legislature has the power to passa law which conflicts with the constitu- tion of the United States, or with the laws of Congress. No attemp!, consequently, could be made to enforce such laws, for they are null and void, and not worth the value of the paper on which they are enrolled. They only serve to prove the extent to which fanaticism will carry people, when it takes possession of their minds. In this view of the case, if there were no other reason for the repeal of such laws, the sooner they are ex- punged the more creditable it will be to the reputa- tion and character of the States which passed them. But if the laws prohibiting to the United States authorities the use of their jails by the States which passed them, be not repealed at an early day, the duty of the next Congress in the premises is clear. An appropriation should be made by that body, for the purchase of sites, and the erection of jails, for the wants of the general government, in these States; and in which, when occasion required, fugitive slaves might be confined. No one could object to this, unless it were the Northern abolitionists, who would see in it the destruction ef the last plank of their crazy craft, and a determination on the part of the representatives of the people of the whole country to carry the laws of the general govern- ment into effect, in opposition to what State legis. latures might de to prevent it. We hope this sub. ject will engage the attention of Congress, at an early day after their Tue New Corroration—Tuk ArpoinTMENTS to Orricrs.—The new Corporation will come into power at the beginning of the new year, and there will be a great scramble for the spoils—some six or seven thousand applicants for every office. Every man wil! put forward his own claims—ene for one service, and another for another service—to the de- mocratic faction. These claims and rervices will differ in kind and degree, but they will all agree in one thing, and that is, that they were rendered by partisans toa party. There is one thing, however, that ought to be remembered, and that is, the men to whom the reins of the city government are about to be entrusted are not indebted to party for this victory. They are indebted to a complete re- volution among the independent voters of this city, and the utter detestation in which they hold the corruption of the present Corporation. It is calou- lated that there has been expended by the party in power—and taken from the treasury funds—a sum of half a million of dollars, in those appliances which debauch public virtue, demoralise the people, and sap the very foundations of our glorious insti- tutions. The developements ‘n reference to Coroner's in- quests, recently brought out in a report of a com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors, are ple of what has been going on in tl various departments of the city governmeat. These matters would, perhaps, never have seen the light of day, but for the unprincipled partisan onslaught upon the Chief of Police, which produced a terrible retaliation. But though these matters were known | four months ago to the Corporation, it is only now-- when the election is over, and there is nothing for the whig party to lose by the exposure—that the secrets of the prison house have been laid bare to the gaze of an astonished publie What further action will be taken in that matter, by the proper authorities, remains to be seen. Tho case ought at least to rerve as @ beacon for the future In the appointments by the new Corporation, that body ought not to lose sight of the various elements that brought them into power, nor follow the prac- tices which have caused the present change, and brought about @ real revolution. In the distri bution of office, a due regard ought to be had to fitness, propriety, and purity of character, and not to mere considerations of partisanship. The indiscriminate expulsion of all persons from office, merely because they are whigs, is an abominable, atrocious doctrine, the character of which we have sufficiently exhibited in the example of Forney, of Philadelphia. There are now in the city govern- ment, many public officers that stand to-day steadily, and behave themselves decently, as Christian men in a Obristian la) Such men ought not to be removed to-morrow, or next day, to make room for other men because they belong to the democratic party, or any other party. ‘We wish to introduce into eur municipal institu- tions high integrity, morality, intelligence, and capacity, and net the low vulgarity of the grog shop—the immorality, the profligacy, and rowdyisn which character sed the exhibitions at our resent elections, and have disgraced the city for some | time past. Above all, the new Corporation, in coming into vfive, ongbt to show their sense of the impropriety and indeceney of feeding and pamper- ing free eoil and abolition journals, for the last two | or three years, upon the hard earnings of a popula tion who are utterly opposed to the treason, sedi . and fanaticiem soattered broad cast over the land by there and other disorganizing firebrands ed tndiv n Y duals, Mettelion.

Trinity College, the only uni- versity in Ireland, shuts out frem all its high places everyman who does not belong to the Protestant faith. These simple facts constitute a sufficient claim upen the sympathics and the support of the Catholics, and all liberal minded Prot:stants of this country. Let the seats of learning and educa- tion be increased. Tbe more we have of them the better. The first step to the freedom of Ireland is a higher order of education for her poople.
