Yesterday being the Sabbath, of course but little imfermation was transmitted over the telegraphie wires. The few despatches we have, though mostly relating to the late election, are quite interesting. It ie now thought that both the States of Kentucky and Tennessee have given small majorities for General Scott; but in North Carolina, the contest, sc far as heard from, is so extremely close, as to render it doubtful which party has won the day. From the various other States the accounts merely | confirm what has been hitherto published We publish to day the names of the members who have been elected to the House of Representa- taves of the Thirty-third Congress from all the Btates which have held elections, except Cali- fornia, 2nd compare them in their political relation with the members of the present Congress.

Three prisoners yesterday made their escape from the Baltimore jail, and one of them, named Gault, is still at large. He was confined for the alleged mur- der of a German, by shooting, during a Sabbath afternoon some months since. Charles Muncey, a youth, was severely stabbed at Philadelphia, last Saturday night, while defending | a schooner from the depredatione of a gang of rob- bers. Two of the supposed assassins have been ai rested. Boat robbing has of late yoars become quiie | frequent in all parts of the country. It was only a few weeks ago that rome villains attacked a trading vessel in Indiana, murdered the three persons on beard, chopped the bodies to pieces, and then sunk them in the river. As yet no clue has been obtained of the murderers. A public Missionary Meeting was held yesterday evening, at Mr.\Smith’s Presbyterian Chureb, Four- teenth street and Second avenue, in reference to the aeparture of several missionaries for Oregon and California. Several addresses were delivered, for which see our report The attention of the reader is likewise directed to the reports of the sermons delivered by Bishop Wain- wright, in the Church of the Holy Martyrs, and of Rev. Dr. Cheever, in the Church of the Puritans. ‘The latter was rendered unusually interesting, from the fact that it related to the death of Mr. Webster. Massacuvsetts Stare Exxcrion.—The State election in Massachusetts will take place today. A Governor and Lieutenant- Governor are to be elected, together with eleven members to the Thirty-third Congress, and three to fill vacancies in the present House of Representatives. The State Legislature iw also to be elected, and the people are to vote for or against tho calling of a convention to revise the constitution of the State. The latter question ap- pears to be strictly a party one, the democrats de- siring a more equal representation in the legisla- ture, by taking from the cities and large towns and giving a greater number of representatives to the smaller ones than they are now entitled to, which the whigs will oppose. The democrats also desire that the judiciary, as in this State, shall be elestive, which their opponents contend would make that important branch of the government a politi- wal machine, to be worked and controlled by cau- euses and wire pulling; and consequently they will vote against the calling of a convention which has in view thesé important changes in the constitutien. Three full tickets have been placed in nomination— whig, and free soil—each party being perfectly organized, and entering the canvass with a determined spirit. A sprinkling of anti-liquor law candidates has also been thrown. into each ticket by the opponents ef the Maine enactment, and the friends of its repeal have marshalled their forces under the banner of ‘liberal nominations,” and calculate to give the “trading philantkropiste,” as they term the supporters of the law, a eovere attack. From all appearances, the contest wili be an uncommonly | exciting one. Misstssirri Comine Ricut —It appears from the last accounts from Mississippi, that the people have been voting largely in favor of the payment of the old Planters’ Bank bonds, repudiated by the State after the tremendous breaking up of the State banks over all the country under Van Buren’s administration. This expression of the people of Mississippi, in favor of the payment of those repu- | diated bonds, it is to be hoped will be followed up | by fome definite action to that end by the State. Whatever were the technicalities of law upon whish the act of repudiation was based, the common judgment of the sister States, as well as of all European nations, was against the proceeding. The eredit, for many years, of every State in the Union, was prejudicially affected by it. The general good standing which nearly all our State loans and secu. ities have attained abroad, is the result of the faudable and successful efforts made by New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and some other States, to meet their current obligations promptly. It now only requires the payment bonds,” to render @ loan to the extent of millions by that State as easy as an every-day operation in the London market. Our numerous and extensive schemes of internal improvements, under way and projected in the Southern States, render it some- what convenient to have the endorsement of the Leiber des sad Le seseig st.

It is now three weeks sinee » most diabolical at- tempt wae made to destroy the life of Mr. Bennett, the proprietor and editer of the Nsw York Haran, by means of » torpedo, or infernal machine. Most providentially, however, the character of the instru- ment was discovered in time to guard against an ex- plosion, and the villainy meditated proved abortive. Since then we have, for several reasons refrained from giving any publicity to the circumstance, but kept it as private as possible. One of our reasons for adopting this course was, that we might no’ frustrate the efforts of the officers of justice to trace out this affair to its authors and concocters. Up to the present time, however, their exertions have not been wholly successful, and as there isnolon- ger any motive for concealing the facts in the case, andas no injury can result from their publication, we proceed to Jay them before our readers in detail, so planned was this cowardly atrocity. About half-past 8 o’clock on Monday evening, the 18th ult., Mr. Bennett, came from his hotel, the Ir- ving House, to the office. A few minutes after his arrival, a parcel was brought to him by one of the clerks o! the publication office, who had just then re- | ceived it from a backman, with the simple explana- tion that a gentleman in his couch, then opposite the door, had desired him to leave it in the office. | The parcel was of a cylindrical form, about six inches | in length, wrapped in common brown paper, tied with green ribbon, and securely sealed with red wax, bearing the impression ofa cent. It bore the | direction :— FOR JAMES GORDON BENNETT, PROPRIETOR AND EDITOR, OFFICE N. W. CORNER OF FULTON AND NASSAU STS. PRIVATE AND WITH CARB This address had been clipped from a cepy of the HERALD, and pasted on a piece of white paper, which was secured to the outer envelope by sealing wax, impressed with an American half-dime. The ‘private and with care,” was badly printed with a pen. Just over the direction, and also printed with ® pen, on the brown paper, were the words NATIVE SILVER AND COPPER ORE FROM THE CUBA MOUNTAINS WITH LETTER INSIDE THE BOX Under the ribbon which tied the parcel was a finely glazed or enamelled card, directed as follows, in the game manuscript print:— Senor V ALCAZOR or CUBA For MR BENNETT WHO WILL CALL ON HIS | RETURN TO THE CITY | When this outside wrapper was taken off by Mr. Bennett's hands, it disclosed a small pasteboard | box, resembling those used by shirt dealers for put- | ting up collars. The print with which the top of the box was ornamented, appeared to be the reprosen- tation of a scene in an ale house in one of the Eng- | lish seaporis. Six figures are enjoying themselves | in the tap room with long pipes and tankards of ale, two of them wear three-cornered hats, and seem to be invalid tars—one of them having a | bandage over his eye. The scene is a lively one; but | its title beimg somewhat cut away, we can only | make out what looks like “The Webber, (waaver) | or Golden Dream.” On the side of the box was | affixed, by means ef red sealing wax, a strip of | foolseap paper, on which was printed, in the same handwriting, but in red ink, these words :— SPECIMENS AND PRIVATE DOCUMENTS FROM THE INTERIOR OF Havanna FoR MR BENNETT (onty) | SHOULD HE BE OUT OF TowN KEEP FOR HIM ISLAND OF CUBA SEPR 1852 Mr. Bennett considered there was something | queer and extraordinary in this affair, but, never- theless, he made one or two attempts to take the lid off the box; not succeeding, he gave | it toMr. Hudson, who, with his penknife, made | an incision in the rim of the lid, when a sub- | stance fell out which appeared to be a species of black sand. Suspicion being thereby further aroused, Mr. Hudgon took a pinch ofthe sand and threw it into the fire, when it exploded, and then this suspicion as to the nature of the box was con- firmed. it might be better examined next morning. Mr. Baker, of the Henan office, having kad it | placed in his handa for examinstion, took the pre- caution of soaking it in water for a few hours, and then, with two detective officers, explored its con: struction geniously contrived torpedo, or infernal machine, and that it contained such a quantity of powder that its explosion would have beem certain death te all who might happen to be near it. A circular piece of pine wood, half inch thick, was supported j by four light pege, fastened in the bettom of the box, and about the height of an iach and three quarters everit. About three-quarters of an inch above thia piece of wood was another similar one, but some yhat less incireumference. This was fastened to the bot- tom of the box by two pieces of etrong cord, running through holes in the lower wood, and was supported by a bunch of detonating matches, resting on a groove inthe upper surface of the lower wheel, and forming a sort of column in thecentre. This groove wos covered with sandpaper, and the lid of the box was fastened to the upper piece of wood, so that in attempting to screw off the cever, the friction should ignite the matches. This being all so ingeniously | copstructed, the box was filled with fine rifle pow- der by means of a hole made in tho centre of the bottom, the powder paseing through holes and niches | eut in the lower piece of wood until the box was en. | tirely filled with it. About a dozen hard paper pel- | lets were found among the powder, which were de- | sigued have to acted as bullets. Then the hole wat | covered with a circular picce of tin, and entirely con- cealed and secured by a quantity of black sealing wax, impressed with an American cent Altogether, it was ® most diabolically constructed affair, and had it exploded in Mr. Bennett’s hands, would have not only killed him, but Mr. Hudson and probably another gentleman then in the office. But instead of twisting round the cover as designed, Mr. Bon- nett endeavored to pullit up and thus raised the matches off the sand paper. The escape, however, was a most miraculous and providential one We have gone thus minutely into the description ef this infernal machine, from the idea that probably fomething in what we have said may lead to a clue | by which it could be traced to its dastardly inven- | tors. We also subjoin the affidavits of the cabman, who, after delivering the parcel, drove his passenger | to Fulton ferry, aud who describes pretty minutely, the personal appearance of the wretch ; of the ferry- | master, who remarked and also describes him; of the clerks in the office; and of Mr. Hudson, Mr. | Baker, and the officers, Bowyer and Leonard.

Arrains oF Mexico—Wuar Nexr?—The nows which we published yesterday from Mexico is of the highest importance. The ex'ra session of Con- gress, the day after its assembling, had resolved to impeach the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Fo- reign Affairs, and the Chief Clerk of the War De- partment. Their offences do not appear; but the proceedings against them go to strengthen the nu- merous other facts which, with the prevailing revo- lutionary and anarchical eondition of the country, foreshadow the early dissolution and utter extine- tion of the Mexican government, and the Mexican republic, as an independent power among the nations of the earth. Congress having rescinded the law against the liberty of the press, several violent opposition jour. nals to the goyernment had sprung into existence. Revolutionary movements and active insurrections continue to be the order of the day in neurly every department of the republic. These troubles, not to repeat the bloody tales of the incursions of cur fron- tier savages into the very hoart of the northern de- partments; and, without recapitulating the various | other misfortunes, calamities, and judgments with which Mexico is afflicted, seem to be quite enough to effect her speedy and utter destruction. At such a time,the government may well stand aghast at the un- welcome rumors of the approach ofa French squadron | and a Spanish ship of war, to enforce the payment, at the hazard of blockades and bombardments, of the | debts due to French and Spanish subjects.

Cuanzestox, Nov. 6. 1852. ‘The mail steamship James Adger. from New York, ar- rived at her wharf at two o'clock this morning. City Intelligence, Tur Wratuen —The hazy. drizzling rain of Saturday evening. continued up to oneo'clock yesterday, (Sunday ) morning. when the overcharged. cloudy rky of the pre- ceeding three days was cleared by s copious shower. The heavy rain dashed down from daybreak up to ten o'clock in the mcrning, accompanied by @ chillibg breeze. To- wards neon the sky became clear, the air mild, with au atmosphere free from fog. The thermometer at the Heracp building ranged at noon, 67° ; at 3, P. M., 6734 ; at 5. P.M. 67°, The evening was Plearant, dry and bracing, and. judging from the even temperature of the night, we may expect fair weather for some days to come, 5 jarm and excitement were caused on y afternoon, by the appearenee of flames issuing from the large varnith factory, sit at the corner of Rivington and Norfolk streets. It was found, upon ex- Great | amination, that a quantity of varnich which was being boiled in a lurge fire place, became ignited, but as it burned directly up a wide chimney, no material damage occurred. Captain Hart, with a section of the officera of the Seventeen'h ward. were present, as also the fire com- panies in the neighborhood. An incendiary fire occurred in the Twentieth ward, at half-past two o'clock yesterday morning, by which Mr. Jobn Vannellin had a stable burned to the ground, and also Jost three valuable horses and a cow, which perished in the flames. By the energy of the firemen and police of the ward the flames were prevented spreading, and no | further damoge was done. Spain may have done the same thing. We have had forsome months past, from time to time, such | reports of the movementsof the French and Spaaish | ministers in Mexico, as would justify these latest | warlike reports.

W Sworn te before me this third day of Novem! A. ©. Kixostaxn, Mayor | We would not have taken any notice of this | diabslical attempt, were it not that we think it is, under the circumstances, our duty te | society to do so.

These reported movements of French and Spanish ships of war, in this view, become to us not less interesting than to the Mexicans themselves. | Great Britain has a hold upon Mexieo to the ex- tent of some sixty or seventy millions of dollars due to British subjects. This appalliag amount of mo- ney, of course, it is absolutely impossible for Mexico to pay, or even the interest of it, do the | best she can. But it has never been the policy | of England to abandon the rights or claims | of her subjects. We may expect, then, in the | event of the diasolution of the present Mexican | government, and the reduction of the country | to a state of lawless and barbarie anarchy—the eondition to which it is rapidly drifting—we may | expect England to have the first finger in the pie. France and Spain now appear to be the most cla- morous for their money; but England is at the bottom of all this business. It is not a very vio- lent stretsh of the fancy, to suppose it possible, that in the last gasp of distress, Mexico may be | prepared to submit to become a@ protectorate, or | | i | | | colony of Great Britain, with the consent, under | certain stipulations, of Spain and France. It is becoming an object to all the powers of Europe, | to check, if possible, the rapidly increasing power of these United States. We have only, therefore, to submit, that the affairs of Mexico may well challenge the most vigilant and zealous attention of our government; and that we may well anticipate of the administra tion elect such a policy, as will at least revive the dead letter of the Monroe doctrine, into a living and fundamental law. The present state ef things in Mexico cannot much longer continue, without calling for our active interposition, to save her from being appropriated by England, France, and Spain. We must keep a vigilant eye upon | Mexico. letter of Mr. Webster’s executors, respecting the unauthorized publication of his familiar correspon- | denco and memorials, will probably have the effect, upon certain parties bere and elsewhere, of restrain. | ing their surprising admiration of the deseased statesman since his decease. At all events, there can we no doubt that the desire of the executors is to stop the unauthorized traffic by unauthorized persons in the private history ef Daniel Webster; and we trust their reasonable wishes will be re- spected.
