In accordance with the act of Congress passed nearly sixty-one years ago, the duly chosen electors ‘ef the people of all the States of the Union, except Beuth Carolina, yesterday assembled at their re- spective State capitals, for the purpose of casting the vote for President and Vice-President of the republic. As regards the actual result of the ballotings in these @ifferent colleges, that was pretty generally anticipa- ted throughout the length and breadth of the landon | the day afcer the Presidential election, thus rendering it quite superfluous to repeat that 254 of the electors were for Pierce and King, and 42 for Scott and | Emperer Nero’s opera glass, canals, Egyptian rail- | election of Gen.

The first anniversary meeting of the Female Education Society, in connection with the Bethesda Baptist Church, was held last evening. We shall give a report of the proceedings to: morrow. Jobn M. Dolan was tried and acquitted yesterday, in the Oyer and Terminer Court, of the murder of Hugh Duffy. The evidence in the case showed that the prisoner had been attacked by five or six per- sops, on his own premises, in such a manner as justi- fied the homicide. This isa great day in France. Tho second of December is the anniversary of Austerlitz, and of Nspoleon’s coronation. There will doubtless be some imperial doings in Paris to dey.

The Admingsftation of General Plerce and our Foreign Relations, Next in importance to a faithful observance of the compromises of the constitution, between the North and the South, a prudent yet bold and energetic administration of our foreign affairs has become es- eential to the peace, progress, and manifest destiny of this mighty republic. In no epoch of our na- tional history, of peace or war, has there ever been a time requiring in a higher degree the practical exercise of cool discretion, moderation, and far- reaching sagacity, on the one hand, and of adven- turous courage and self: sustaining intrepidity on the other, than the present crisis, in reference to the foreign policy of our newly elected President. The outgoing administration, so inauspiciously commenced upon our foreign relations, under the unfortunate cabinet of General Taylor, will go out of power with an accumulation of unfinished busi- ness, to be turned over to General Pierce, altogether unprecedented in its amount and in the gravity of ite complex and delicate responsibilities. The entanglements which have grown out of the international affairs of Central America, are in them- Graham, being a majerity of 212 for the former can- didates. It is the duty of messengers from the several colleges to deliver, signed, certified, and sealed, lists of the votes for President and Vice President to the presiding officer of the United Btates Senate, or at the office of the Secretary of State, before the first Wednesday of next month; and said lists are to be opened in presence of the © Houses of Congress on the second Wednesday of | It will be seen that some diffisulty ov- eurred with regard to the wording of the certificate before the electors of our own State; however, the | document was at length perfected. James H. Sher- rill was appointed to convey it to its proper destina- tion at Washington, and then the body ajjourned and partook of a most sumptuous repast, prior to returning to their homes. Senator Clemens, of Alabama, states that he re- eently had an interview with his colleague, Hon. Wm. R. King, the Vice President elect, at which time the health of the latter gentleman had greatly improved. As yet, we have been unable to traze | out any foundation for the rumor of his death. It maust be a mistake. According to our Warhington despatch the demo- | crate, especially the young ones, seem to have had evening. The principal speakers were of the pro- greesive school, who, as Senator Douglas remark- ed, are totally opposed to the founding of a new | colony upon thie continent by any European power whatever. The Judge declared that ‘the time had come when every American citizen should be pro- tected in the enjoyment of his rights everywhere.” | Thie was evidently uttered while the speaker's | thoughts were reverting to the recent outrages upon our fieg by the Cuban authorities, and the truckling policy relative thereto pursued by the present im- Dbeeile administration at Washington. The single | sentence there quoted forebodes stirring times during | the Congress which meets next Monday. It willbo a nee America short, but a very hot session—too hot, itis feared, for | the comfort of Mr. Fillmore and his cabinet, who are now in ebout the predicament of a rabbit taat has sought refuge in a hollow tree, and which the boys | are preparing to smoke out. Senator Weller, of California, too, has a word to say that will rather | astonish some of the old fogies. However, nothing of a desperate character will receive the sanction of either branch ef Congress. Some of the members belonging to both parties may be a little rash and impetuous, and others, again, may be disposed to follow the example of the executive department, by faltering, wavering, and dodging ; but everything will come out straight, through the good sense of | the great majority. Our foreign policy needs a | little rubbing up, and our mariners require protec- tion from insult and aggression by other nations. That’e all, Wait and see what Congress will do. ‘The democrats of Syracuse celebrated their great | national victory for the second time, on Tuesday evening. Cubanannexation is said to have been | the chief feature in the speeches made on the oc- casion. Judge Evans hae been elected to the United States Senate from South Carolina. His term will com- mence on the 4th of next March. We understand that the publishers of one of the Syracuse papers have hoisted the name of Millard Fillmore for the Presidency in 1856. They seem to be in somewhat of a hurry. An unlucky whig, of Philadelphia, who had agreed to saw half a cord of wood should Pierce and King be elected, yesterday performed his task in the open street, to the great satisfaction of nume- rous bystanders. The voters of Mississippi have decided not to pay the old Planters’ Bank Bonds, by a majority of nearly twelve thousand The efficial correspondence between Secretary Everett and Sefior Osmar, Minister from Peru, con- firme the statement exclusively made in this journal Some time ago, that the Lobos Islands or guano difficulty had been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned, except a few of the owners of the vessels tbat were in rather too much ofa hurry to load their crafte free of expense. However, even they will not be apt to lose much By adespatch from Detroit, we are informed that the miners of the Lake Superior country were get- ting slong prosperously so far as regards the pro- curement of ore; but they were suffering considera- bly for the want of provisions. Junius Brutus Booth, the veteran tragedian, re- eently died on board a steamer bound from New Orleans to Cincinnati. A decrease of $226,577 is reported in the canal tolls of this State, this year, as compared with the receipts up to the same time last year. Bishop Doane’s case was again up before the Epis- copal Convention, which met in Burlington, New Jersey, yesterday. See the report of the proceed- | ings in another column. selves a task, which in settling will require of Gen. Pierce an extraordinary exercise of skill and bold- ness to avoid a misunderstanding with England on the one side, or a humiliation of our na- tional character on the other. If the Monroe doo- trine of foreign non-intervention in the domestic af- fairs of the independent States of North America is to be practically enforced, it will call for the total removal of those British agencies and influences which have controlled the domestic and external af- fairs of the Central American States for the last ten ye It will supersede, upon the simple basis of British exclusion, all the recent attempts to lay down a plan of joint protection between England and the United States. It will requiré the formal abdication, asa protegé of Queen Victoria, of the dusky King of Mosquitia, and the formal assent of her Majesty's government thereto; and it will also require some additional stipulations and explana- tions of the Clayton and Bulwer Nicaragua Canal treaty How stands that treaty now? The first article was openly violated by British agents, aided by a British vessel of war, in the forcible extortion oftri- bute from one of our merchant steamers at Grey- | town, or San Juan—the tribute going to the support quite a jollification at their festival the other | of a government plainly abolished and disavowed by the treaty. Nor are we aware that this breach of trust has been finally compromised between the two governments, the late re-construction or modifica- tion of the treaty having beem repudiated by the State of Nicaragua. This loose and unsatisfaetory state of things must be terminated, or patched up in some way. If the Monroe doctrine is to be the fundamental law, the matter will require little pro- fundity, but very considerable nerve and resolution, to bring it to a perfect and final settlement. The foreign embarrassments of Mexico call more imperiously for emphatic and decided action by our government than even the British perplexities of The sixty millions due to her British creditors have placed the Mexican govern- ment, to all practical purposes, in the position of a dependant upon British clemency. But, again, the singular tenacity of Mr. Fillmore’s administration to the Tehuantepec treaty, founded upon the Garay grant, and the extraordinary resolution reported by the Committee of Foreign Relations of the United States Senate, making that compact a casus belli with Mexico, if necessary to enforce it, leave the two countries, as we now stand, in an extremely critical position. The resolution before the Senate is still pending; and the democratic majority of the | body, in deciding upon it, will have to decide to some extent upon the policy of General Pierce. It is a simple question of pease or war; and to Mexico the latter may be quite as acceptable as the first alternative, fora country in the last gasp of disso- | lution has but little to lose in any event. But there is still another element to be considered inthe establishment of order out of the universal chaos of Mexico. Louis Napoleon must not be over- looked. Our latest news from the Mexican capital indicates something like a combined movement be- tween France and. Spain in the warlike prosecution of their claims for unpaid debts. Now, how are all these difficulties to be overoome? A war with Mexico on the Tehuantepee question would inevitably re- fult in the annexation of the entire republic to this Union. It could have no other jtermination. Perhaps the Mexicans desire it. There can be little doubt of it, if the most wretched and deplorable in- efficiency of their own government is considered in oomnection with the brilliant offer to Gen. Scett of the supreme dictatorship, while in oveupation of their eapital, in 1847—"48. But, even should we compromise the Tehuantepes difficulty and our Indian and /illibustering distur- bances of the Northern frentiers, the application of the Monree doctrine may require the strengthening of the home squadron to ® large extent, and the presence of an army of observation on the Rio Grande, or else Eogland, France, and Spain may, by = coup d'état, appropriate and divide the spoils. The heavy debts of Mexico due to the subjects of those powers, the immensity of the undeveloped mineral and agricultural riches of the Mexican re- public, the importance of the Tehuantepec and her other overland routes between the Atlantic end Pacific oceans, and the utter helplessness and wretchedness of the government and the country, are temptations which must be irresistible to Eng- land and her allies, if not anticipated by the inter- position of the United States. But the Cuba question, of all other questions, is destined to become a turning peint in our foreign affairs during the next four years; for, within that time, it seems te be generally expected that we must either definitively surrender, er acquire the island. Upon this subject there appears also to be a prevailing apprehension, thet jillibusterism, under the in coming administration will be winked at, if not openly encouraged; and that in consequence Last evening Mr. Wendell Phillips, of Boston, de Livered a lecture at the Tabernacle, on the Jost Arts, | fn which he shewed that the ancients knew arta | ‘that we do not, and knew more of those that we | now know. Among the points adverted to were: | antiquity of common jeste and fables, Egyptian | glaes, the sacred dish of Genoa, pictures 3,500 years old, ancient steel, Indian novels, tarring Ond feathering, gunpowder a thousand years ago, | we may be precipitated, by an unholy collusion with buccancering expeditions, into a terrible with the Holy Protective Alliance of Spain, England, and France. Such a war would, of course, place our vast commerce, in every sea and upon every ocean, at the mercy of legalized pirates or priva- teert, in addition to the Meets of at least three of the naval powers of Warope; and hence the sensa- tion produced in Wall esree} by the tremendous | our foreign or dome para- mount question, whether his administration will rigidly enforce our obligations of neutrality, and seek the solution of the Cubs question by a busi- ness transaction in dollars and cents, or whether, onthe other hand, it will connive at the move- ments of the fillibusteros till they shall have mades succestful lodgment in the island or drawn us into a bleody war for the prize. Now, to say nothing of the dark and anomalous state of affairs in Hayti, and nothing of the fishery question, or Cansdian reciprocity, or the Sandwich Islands, or the affairs of South America, Africa, Australis, or Japan, there will be work enough for our State Department for several years, in clearing up the unsettled business in our foreign relations from Central America to Cuba. What policy, then, may we anticipate of the new administration upon the affairs of Central America and Mexico—and what, more especially, in relation to the all-important Cuba question? The Baltimore platform is vague and indefinite. It may be con- strued to the continuance of the stand-still neutra- lity policy of President Fillmore} or it may be stretched to embrace the annexation of all North Ameriéa and armed intervention in the affairs of every nation of Europe. A large margin of disere- tion is, therefore, left to Gen. Pierce, in the adop- tion of the general and the specific policy which he may pureue upon the weighty responsibilities of our foreign relations. The eelection of his Secretary of State, and the influences which may predominate in his cabinet, will afford a living interpretation of the inaugural address of the fourth of March next. But neither in that address, nor in the choice of his cabinet, do we apprehend any additional panic among the stock- robbers to that of the second of November. Onthe contrary, we are rather more confident that the tone of the inaugural and the composition of the new ministry will be pacific, although firm and dig. nified—conservative of the national honor and good faith, yet confessedly alive to that spirit of progress which is the spirit of the age. We have little fear that the Monroe doctrine will be set up in Central America or Mexico for the purpose of a tilt with Great Britain, after the fashion of the assault ef Don Quixote upon the windmills; but we do sup- pore, from the chivalric sense of the national honor entertained by the democratic party, that a bold and vigorous policy will be pursued in the settlement of all our pending embarrass- ments, both in Central America and Mexi- co. This policy may not admit ef a joint pretecto- rate with any European power over any of the States of Central America; but we do not appre- hend that it will assume for our government any rights of control over their domestic or external af- fairs. So with Mexico. There need be, we pre- sume, very little apprehension that we shall be plunged headlong intoa war of conquest upon the European creditors, or in contravention of what But, ver contra, ehould the intestine troubles of the Northern States of Mexico result in the establish- ment of an independent Northern republic, it is pos- sible that the esprit du corps of the democracy would not permit it to knock at our door in vain. “Knosk,” saith the scriptures, “knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.” The all-absorbing Cuba question is not so easily disposed of upon any theory or basis of speculation, however plausible. If we are not hurried into a rupture before the close of the present administra tion, there is still a prospect of a peaceful acquisi tion of the island. Of one thing we are well assur- ed, from various reliable sources, as well as from all the antecedents of Gen. Pierce : he will not countenance the movements or unlawful designs of the fillibusteroes—he will not wink nor con- nive at their proceedings—nor permit the departure of any Lopez expedition from our shores, if all due vigilance for the preservation of eur na tional faith and good neighborhood can prevent it. We doubt not the new administration will regardthe acquisition of Cuba in a totally different light from the present; but not as a measure to be carried out ‘at the sacrifice of the national honor, nor yet by the payment of any exorbitant sum of money. It may possibly be reserved, even as 8 question of expedi- ency in any form, to be first tried directly before the people, as was the annexation of Texas Inany view, however, the appointment of his ministers te Spain, England, and France, in referenee not only to Cuba, but to Mexico and Central Amorica, will involve responsibilities of the highest importance to this nation and to all concerned. Without possessing any extraordinary knowledge of the designs or views of Gen. Pierce, upon either atic coneerns, but judging from the elements of information generally in the pos- session of our readers, we fee!, upon the whole, but little alarm in regard to the ominous aspect of our foreign affairs. There are several little clouds of war in the horizon; but the war spirit has received a wholesome check in the defeat of Gen. Scott. The sword isnot necessarily the key to exalted station. Gen. Pierce hasnothing to gain by arcckless rushing intowar—hie party has nothing to gain by it, and the country has everything to lose. We are confident he will endeavor to preserve and promote peace with all nations, as far as compatible with the honor, the rights,and the duties of the United States. But we are equally confident that he will not shriek from the responsibilities even of war if they shall be forced upon the country, with the whole country ready to spring at the summons to the reszue. Fi- nally, the make-shift neutrality policy of the pro- sent administration, having been mozst signally re- buked and rejested by the people in the late elec- tion, a foreign policy is demanded, and may, we think, be expested, more in consonance with the power and position of these United States among the nations of the earth, and more in keeping with the spirit of the eountry and the progress of the age, and the great fundamental doctrine of “mani- fest destiny.” Tue Vore ron Hate—New Parries —As nearly as we can ascertain, the aggregate vote for Hale for President is about 150,000. The vote for Van Ba- ren, the free soil candidate in 1848, was in round numbers, 293,000. This, prima facie, would indi- cate @ great falling off in the abolition free soil vote; but it is not so. In 1848, there were, perhaps, 100,000 democrats in New York alone, who voted for Van Buren from a purely factious and personal spite against Gen. Cass. We apprehend that Hale's vote, on the contrary, is ag substantially anti-slavery as that for Birney ia 1844; and taking that, (some sixty thousand,) as a basis, the free soilers have made a gain of 80,000, doubling their strength, and thirty per cent over, in eight years. This docs not indicate the death of the anti- slavery abolition movement of the North; but when we take into the estimate the fact that a large number of free soil abolition whigs, following the lead of William H. Seward, voted for General Beott, and that they are ready now for some other move- ment, there is every reason to anticipate an anti- slavery reorganization, in due time, upon a more formidable basis than ever. The Seward organs are already casting about to sce how the land lies; and we may expect a combined movement as soon as there is an opening. Let the South stand their ground.

First, itis intended as a sort of blockade against the African slave trade with the island; and secondly as a safeguard ageinst any possible renewal of the Lopez experiment by the /il- ibusteros of the United States. Asfarasthe African slave trade is coneerned, Spain is bound, in common with England, France, Portugal, and the United States and Brazil, to put it down. In this view, therefore, the British fleet off Cuba is designed to enforce upon Spain her treaty obligations If the commanding officers of the rquedron do their duty, it will materially affect the perquisites of the Captain-General and his local agents, and of the Queen mother in Spain, derived from this contraband traffic. It was the refusal of General Concha to accept the usual hush money, per capita, upon African slaves smuggled into the is'and, and hisjundisguised hostility to the business, that effected his recall. Cafedo isa different sort of man, with something of the money-making pro- clivities of Tacon; but ifthe British cruisers shall cut off his supplics,as they are justly required to do, we ex- pect to hear of his shortly returning to Spain, whe- ther recalled or not. This movement of the British government may also exercise no small influence over the future destiny of Cuba; for such is the wear and tear of the slave population, from the present ex- hausting system of cruelty under which they are worked on the sugar plantations, that it has been estimated that the actual working force in the sugar cultivation has to be renewed once in about every seven years. Under such a state of things, the sugpension of the supplies from Africa, if rigidly enforced, cannot fail to lead to the most important results. x In respect to the fillibusteros, we apprehend that the British squadron of protection and observation will have but little todo. But let them enforce their embargo upon the p'ratical slave traffic from Africa, and the affairs of the island will soon put on ‘ practical shmpe for a renewal of our negotiations with Spain. We are more and more inclined to th conviction that England is beginning to understand her true policy, in reference to the island of Cuba, and that, in any event, there will be no war be- tween John Bull and Brother Jonathan concerning | the ‘* Queen of the Antilles ” See the article from the London Morning Post, which we publish to- day. There need be no alarm in Wall street. | Senator Borland, of Arkansas.

TATION TO THE HONORABLE THE COMMON COUNCIL. he bene members of the Young Men's - tian Association of the city of New York, believing that the rupping of cars on the Sabbath is @ direct violation of the fourth commandment, and tends greatly to the demorali: tion of the people, would sespectfully petition tl rable Common Council to annrl that e-tion of the chart of the proposed Broadway Kailroad which compels the com- pany to run their cars on Sundays, and that a sestion be in- troduced probibiting them from doin, And they would Feepectfnily further request, that & ilar ordinance b past prohibiting all the tages now ia operat or hereafter to be consteucted, from running their oa the Sabbath. A conversation then ensued, as to whether or not these resolutions and the petition should lie on the table, which was at length carried in the affirmative. On the motion of Mr. Dyer, it was decided that mittee should be appointed to report on the subject of Sabbath desecration and lay that report before the next meeting of the association.

Fair weather, went to Harlem, on Monday last, and had s de- re hte time. This company has recently been establish- ed in honor of James Crawford, who is the Asristant Al- dermen of the Eighteenth Ward, and is known tobe an excellent man. This fine military corps numbers fifty one muskets, rend of which riddled the target almost to splinters. Such unerring shooting has not been known day. There were fourteen elt it prizes, in the fol- lowing novel and judicious manner: Fourteen members who bad shot nearest to the centre of the target were di- rected, according to the excellence of their aim, to ap- proach a table, on which lay the prizes, and requested to make a choice. They sll came up single file. and selected their prizes, until the fourteenth prize was taken, when | mime thundering cheers were given by the whole compa- 2, not a murmer escaping the lips of a memoer. Manasm Sovrac’s Concent.—Metropolitan Hall was again crowded last night with a brilliant audience, on the | occasion of the second of Madame Sontag’s new seri:s of concerts, The arrangements made for the accgmmoda- tion of the monster chorus—a very appropriate name— | are by no means an imprevement to the general appear- | ance of the Hall, and thore who had not been at the last | concert stared with astonishment at the unsightly con- | cern, and wondered why such an erray of women, men | and boys should be perched up in that huge box The | orchestra executed in magnificent style the overture to “Der Freiscbutz""—a splendid piece of music, and right | worthily rendered. Madame Sontag made her appearance | in the light and amusing morceau, “Ah yousdirai je ma- | man?” which she sang in an elegant and highly ornate | style, but yet one adapted to the sentiment expressed, The accompaniment on the flute by Mr. Kyle was worthy | of the singer, and doubtless some of the plaudits which | rewarded the execution of the piece were intended for | him, The duet of ‘ The Musie Lesson,”’ with Rocco as the maestro, was also highly amusing, and the action suited to it was rendered with great taste and spirit. “Luther's Hymn,” by Madame Sontag and chorus, was evidently in tended as the great piece of the evening; and so far as the great crliste’s own execution of it went, the expec- tation might have been well warranted; but as to the singing of the six hundred performers, it reminded us very strongly of the way in which one of Watts’ hymns is sung by @ Methodist congregation en masse We are not very favorably struck with this new and grand feature in these concerts; and, for our own part, we con- fees we could be quite well satisfied with the exquisite singing of Madame Sontag and the no less admirable violin playing of young Paul Julien, with the other rooal auxiliaries, Badiali, Pozzolini, and Rocco, and would be content to dispense with the choral department. In the second part, Madame Sontag opened in a quartette from “T Paritani,”’ and afterwards gave her sweet rendering of the Swiss rong, which has never failed here to bring down the applause of the house. She yielded to the demands for an encore, and repeated the admired air. Pozzolini. Rocco, and Badiali. were also encored im the terzetto of “Papa-tace,” from the opera of ‘Italiani in Algieri.”’ Paul Julien as usual, delighted his audience by his exquisite performances on the violin. He played fantasia on themes from ‘Le Fille du Regiment” and “Tremolo,” both of which were rewarded by protracted appieure. This jittle boy, indeed. is « rival even to the great canta- trice herself in the artistic contest tor the admiration and acknowledgements of the public. ‘The next concert will be given to-morrow night. Sacrep Concent.—The concert which was advertised to be given last evening at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Nativity, in avenue C, was postponed in consequence of some of the artiste having been engaged to sing at Madame Sontag’s concert. It will be, there- ped 4 ven this evening the object being to assist the paris Personal Lc! rn in its pecuniary embarrassments. Arrivals at the Metropolitan. —Hon, J. @, Sever, New Orleans; Hon.
