Middlesex may be carried against the whigs, but many doubt it. Thore is such @ confused state of things that some people doubt if any Senators can be elected. or instance, there are to be five Senatorial tickets io Saffolk county, vis.:—The whig, democracic, and free soil tickets, the ten hours’ ticket, and “trum” tisket. It is aleo raid that a temperance ticket will be rua, and there is a report that the women’s rights men will also be in the field, in the hope of catching that Young promised good time, which is so slow in com- Ft rep there be no election of Senators in So! the coalition may come in again.

Her success bas not been such as one would iafer abroad from the accounts of tickets being sold at auction. and ailthat. There is such & thing as over-doing a matter that would be well enough in itself.

Last night she again sppearca, and seemed to be in excellent health, though some critics eny her voice was a little defective. A very valuable piece of city property was sold by_ auction, on Wednesday; thongh why It was gold, 1 think. would puzzle our excellent ‘‘governors” to aay.

The sale took place in Faneuil Hall, where a large crowd had assembled Tho first bid was $200,000, and the bids continued until twonty-five had been made, when the property was knocked down to Josiah Quincy, Sen., for $411,000, which, if the statemont be true that it has paid eight per centum on tat eum, is but little over thirteen years purchase of the wharf Mr. Quincy was one of our first Mayors, and proba- bly knows our yi matters better than any other person. When, therefore, in some remarks made | after the sale had been completed, he civilly | censured the municipal goverment for partiag with the property, people were gratified, for the sale is not » popular act. Mr, Quiney pays $11,000 down, and tho balance in twenty eqaal payments, in twenty years.

The protection and security of our commercial interests. is only a small part of the benefit which the nation derives from the presence of a well-appointed fleet im this rea.
