THE STALE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY, Elections were held yesterday in the States of New Yovk, New Jersey, Michigan, Iilinois and Wis- vonsin. ‘The returns, as far as received, are given im this morning’s Hurara. In thia State the com plications of parties ‘have renderei it next to im- poselbic to approximate even the result thus early. The chances are nearly equelly divided between fleymonr, Uiman and Clark, although the prob:. Wilities are favorable to Seymour for Governor. As far as th'e city, the aspect is extremely foggy, but there are good grounds for believing that Fernando Wood has been chosen Mayo. However, all is as yet in a state of tormenting uncertainty, and asthe Know Nothings have completely knocked sway the bases of all jrevious calculations and estimates, it i not worth while to speculate upon the results, but patiently and re- signed}y await the untangling of the entanglements. In Mic’ igin, in spite of the efforts of Gen. Cass, the fosicnists have undoubtedly elected their State ticket, ar@ a solid phalanx o! anti-Nebraskaite deiezates to Congress. In New Jersey, the whigs have carried all five of the Concressmen, and the Legislature is believed to be decidedl7 Know Noth- ing. We have re:eived but partial returns from Diinojs and Wieconsin—they are anti-Nebraska. NEWS FROM EUROPE, Neither the steamer due at this port no: the one @ue at Halifax, have yet made their appearance. THE ARCTIC’S MISSING BOATS. The ‘clegraph announces tbat the s:hooner Lilly Dale, arrived at St. Johns, N. F., had picked up one of the Arctic’s boats thirty miles north of Cape Rece; anc 1: isedded itis thought this is the boat whiei, Dorian snd his party were in. This is a great mistake. The boat in which were Dorian and bis fellow eofferers was hoisted on board the ship Haron, Capt, Walls, and by her taken to Quebec, where she still remains. Here are her dimensions, ae forwarded by the captain of the Huron :—Length of keel, twenty-four feet two inches; breadth of beam, seven feet five inches. The number raved by this boat was thirty-one. There remained three boats of the Arctic to be accounted for, namely : the one ecntaining the first officer, Mr. Gourley, and his party; the one containing the cbiaf engi meer and his party, and the one ccntaining the batcher of the ship, (9 practical boatmun besides,) with s few gentlemen and a greater nomber of ladies. The two boats sen by the Lilly Date must te two of the above named three. Toe Newfoundland aud London Telegraph Com- pany’s steamcr Victoria arrived here. yesterday from St. Johns, N. F. She brings one o” the lite boats of the lost steamship Arctic—predably one of those which arrived at Newfoundland under com- mand of Mr. Bashlam. . THE APFRAY AT THE NORTHERN HOTPL. In anotbe: portion of to.day’s paper will be foand an interesting statement of the proprietor of the Northern Hotel, in Cortlardt strect, which was the seene of a bloody affray between a party of men who | had been op a target excursion and the barkeeper, in which the Jatter received a severe stab in the side at the bands of ove of the rioters. Yesterday those persons who had been arrested on the complaint of the proprictor of the hotel for rioting, were held ‘tw bail each in the sum of $500 to ans ver the charge preferred sgainst them.

Uliman is elected we are indebted to the administration for a whig Know | Nothing Governor, elected by democratic votes. Does this lo: k as if t!.e two divisions of the New York democracy can ever be re-united upon the basis of the present Cabinet coalition at hend that the results of yesterday’s work in New Jersey, Michigan, Tioois and Wisconsin tell substantially the sume story, in letters perheps as mystrious, but still as startling end significant as the ai cient handwriting upon the wall. The dullest pu, il in the dirty work of party politics can now understand the meaning of the “bue and cry’ cf the Albany Journa/, the New York Tri+une, aud tie lesser Seward or- gans, egainst Dariel Uliman. 1t was there that the shce was pinching them a'lthe time. Hence the persevering effor:s to get up the impression that the candivate of the Know Nothings was a Sew, a German Jew, the descendant of a Hindoo mother, a Bengal tiger by birth, a Datchman by education—in fact on, thing but a pative born ton of the sod. The «evice has proved a dead failure. “ The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner,” perhaps. The Sewari coalition is crushed by the one ot all men whom they affected most to despise. The Saratoga, Syracuse and Auburn resolutions were a little too strong and a little too fast, not withstanding the hullabaloo on the Nebraska bill. Assuming, from the returns received, that Ullman is the Governor, we entertain no alarm concerning his election as a tri- umph of the Know Nothings. This order is now upon that high career which has not been inaptly termed “Young America upon a spree.” But as its principles are unsound and incon- sistent with the spirit of the constitution and the genius of our republican system, the frater- nity cannot list. IJnieachins th: s,oils they will be reat into fragments from internal squabbles and dissensions, and tue order will pass away as one of the short-lived wonders of the age. fn the meantime, so far from feeling the slightest apprehensions concerning the elec- | tion of a Know Nothing Governor of New | York, we rega.d the regult as a great victory | for tue Union upon the vital and all important | question of slavery. It is the breaking of the backbone of the Seward dieusion conspiracy Jor 1856, from the quarter which was least an- ticipated at Syracuse. We must recur to the subject again. Pos. sibly the full returns from the outside coan- ties may change the figures Sf cur present foot wg up; but taking the reiuros already received os specimen, we think there is precious little hope for Clark even among the possibilities of the case. Our readers will decipher our preseat returns for Lieutenant Governor, the State officers, Con- gresmen, Assemb!ymen, Mayor and offizers of the Corporation for themselves. Our reports are too meagre for any satisfactory commen- tary. We are satisfied, however, to state that it is possible the:e may be a majority against Seward in the Assembiy. Should this be so, the arch- agitator will hordiy have aay further use for an anti-Nebraska House of Representatives at Washington; for New York, in securiag the advantage of a Union man in his place ia the Senate, will find it comparatively easy to up- set his scheme for the Presidency.

The steamship Knoxville, arrived at this port yesterday frcm “avannah, bringsthe great Western tion are defeated. It is one of the most ex- traordinary incidents of the wonderful politica) revulsion and revolution of 1854, Bat we think the worst is now over, and, in the solid recon- struction of things, the best is yet to come.

Of the legal bearings of the New- ark ease we know nothing; but on a genera! view, a city endeavoring to exclude rails and steam engines from its streets is sure of public sympathy. Tue Parpon Hoax.—No one expects any shame or remorse from the abolitionist whige for baving promu),ated the disgracefal slander they did in reference to Goveraor Seymour an the Graham case.

CavsE oF THE GoLpD MoveMent.—Every- dy recoliects the story of the old lady who ried her bitter hatred of Gen. Jacksoa so far as to ascribe to his malign influence the heavy rains which spoilt her garden. The musty professors of the protectionist school fol- low her example in blaming “ British tree trade” for the gold export from the United States. It is hardly possible to conceive two things more entirely disconnected. “British free trade”? bas no more than British artillery to do with our imports of sowe two huadred miJlions worth of goods from England and Scotland ; we bought them because we thought we wanted them, and as our cotton and our corn do not cover the indebtedness thereby created, we are obliged, without reference to free trade oc protection, to make up the deficit with whatever other commodity is in demand on the other site. Gold happens just now to be the article most wanted, and we send it ac- cordingly. Hence we have ‘rouble in Wall street here. But what does this prove? If our merchants import more than they can pay for, does that srgue any fauit in the system? If a man run bis head against a wall, shall we build no more walls? Of course, merchants and farmers pay the piper when nations go to war. They have al- ways done so; and so.long as the bulk of th- money and improved property in the world ir in the hands of merchants and farmers, they wil] continue to pay. A reasoning being, in view of this, would conclode that wars ares bad thing ; a protectionist infers that “British | fee trade” is a fallacy, After this let us say no more o! the intelligence of the nineteenth century. OPERATION OF THE Reciprocity TREATY.—ASs it is understood that the Treasury Department will authorize the collect:rs of customs to re- ceive bonds for the dutieson Canadian and New Brunswick produce, we should shortly have a fall in the price of flour, grain, provisions ani lumber. Large quantities of these staples will come over the lines at once. They ought to decline to ths omount of the duty formerly paid on them; but we presume that the pro- ducers will novt allow us at first to reap all the benefit of the change. Coal, we regret to say, will not participate as yet in the alt-ration. Owing to the sluggi-h manner in which our Nova Sootian neighbors do busicess, the Reci- procity Treaty has not yet been ratified in that province, and cur executive appzars unwilling to anticipate their movements. It is strange that the coal miners of Nova Scotia have taken no steps to urge their government to action, considering that the ratification of the treaty would give such a powerful stimulus to their trade. One would have fancied, after the no's# they made some time ago, when it was propos- ed to exclude coal from the benefit of the treaty, that they would have been the first to adopt it in its present state. MermorouraN THxATRE.—Miss Julla Dean commenced an engagement at this house on Monday, and played Juliet to the catisfaction of alarge audience, Miss Dean las improved of late—her stage business is better, and ber readings are more judicious. These lines were very well given, and with charming expression :— Conie, tle night! Come, loving, black brow’d night, ne my Romeo, and when he shall die, » him sind cut him out in little stara, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night, And pay no homage to the garish sun. Mr. Eddy, as Romeo, read well, and played the part .udiciously. He is not good, however, at love making, and in the early part of the picce failed to give the nuthor’s idea of Romeg, who was but a spooney boy, after all. Mr. Thompson and Mra. Archibold were excel- lent in their reapective parts—the friar and the nurse. This evening the now version of ‘ Lucrezia Borgia’’ will be played, with Miss Dean as Tucrezia; also, “All that Glitters is not Gold.”’ Mr. J. J. Prior, a leading actor of eminence, will make his firat appearance here as Stephen Plum, and Mrs. Conway will play Martha Gibbs. New Granan: gl that this Republic in at last woricing to retrieve its condition, by re-open- ing the ways of communication between its inland pro- vinces and the Atlantic. We say we are glad of this, because we feei confident that a vast field for commer- cial operations lies thers, open to onr enterprizing mer- chants, ship ownem, and capitalists, hitherto unheeded, either through their ignorance of its existence, or their callousness for foreign speculation. We are led to these brief remarks (which we intend to resume) from our having conversed with a gentleman ately arrived from Carthagena, with an important contract between him and the government of that Province, for the re-opening of the canal which connects the port of Carthagena with the river Magdalena. The gentleman to whom we allode, has solicited a meeting of the friends of New Granada, avd other persons connected with that country, to be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at Delmonico’s, in William street, We bope it will be fully attended.

The troops arrived in the valley on the last day of Augast, am! proceeded imme- diately to Tule yalley, south of the lake, where disposi- tion was made of the Quartermasier’s horses and mules, one company of dragoons being deta‘led to remain near Tule city. The remainder of the command was going into barracks in Salt Lake City. ‘The command, as a general thing, has been well re- ceived by the Mormons. A great jealousy, however, | seemed to exist towards the officers respecting the wives, danghters and concubines of the Sainte. A few days after the arrival of the troops, the people were ad- vised and commanded in the Deseret News, the organ of Governor Young, not to allow their families to associate | with the strangers. Except the epauletted Gentiles be- came baptised they could not expect te moye in female society. The following Sunday, Orson Hyde called upon the congregation assembled in the Tabernacle to ‘‘raixe the price of grain’? on the strangers, to which the congre- - gation replied ‘‘Amen.*” In ¢onsequence of this move, all the horses that can be spared will be sent out to graze instead of being stable fed. ‘The Indians have been fighting among themselves. Some horses were sto’en from the Snakes by the Utahs, and a war party of the former Indians having caught some Pat-Utahs near Provost, attacked them, and killed five. W a, or Walker as he is called hy the whites, the Pat-Utah chief, has threatened to drive off the goy- | ernment stock, but every precaution has been taken to frustrate his thievish designs. Two Indians were lately executed for the murder of some bdys. tribe and a company of dragoons were present at the ex- ecution. ‘There is very Mttle money in tion in Salt Late City. The heavy tithes and the failure of sou f have exhausted the resources of the people, and the only coin in the country is in the hands of the Gentile mer- chants and the elders of the church. This last summer mary families had seceded from the church and gone into the States. There are hundreds who would follow them if they were able. The system of concubinage has become repulsive to many, who knew nothing of the “peculiar institution” when they left their homes As there is no limit to the President’s wives, and as he is building a new and magnificent harem, no beantiful young woman ia safe from his glances, so devoted is the Prophet Governor to “‘raising up a pure and perfect gen- eration to the Lord.”” Marine Affairs.

Yesterday morning a most diabolical attempt was made to poison fite of the inmates of a disreputable house in the rear of 183 Chureh street, by administering to them a large quantity of arsenic in their coffee. It ap- pears that a colored woman named Sarah Jane Williams, came to live in this city @ few days ago, and put up at Miss Harriet Rates’, also colored, living at 183 Church street. Here she remained a few days in quiet- ness, but at length had a quarrel with the cook of Miss Bates, named Catherine Williams, @ white woman, and swore yengance against her. Accordingly the next morning, at an early hour, she went out, and it is suppose purchased @ paper of arsenic at a drug store in West Broadway. On her return, contrary to her usual habits, she proceeded to the kitchen, where the cook was at work getting breakfast ready, and sat there for some time. The cook having’ occasion to go out of the kitchen, Sarah Jane was left alone in the apartment, and it is supposed then took the op- portunity of putting the poison into the coffee kettle c.n- jaining the breakfast beverage, which was partaken of by five persons in that house a very few minutes after- wards. Their names were Harriet Bates, Elizabeth Scott, Sarah Miller (all colored), and Catharine Williams an Henry Shaw (whites). ‘These persons, soon after _par- taking of the coffee, were suddenly taken with vomiting and pains in their heads, which led them to believe that they lad been poisoned, and aecordingly they sent for a doctor, who prescribed the usual remedies, and sent for Capt, Carpenter, of the Fifth ward police, to make in- quiries into the matter. Upon hearing the facts connect- ed with the case, this officer caused the arrest of Miss Sarah Jane Williaina, on suspicion of being the person who thus attempted to destroy the lives of five persons.

His approach was seon by some of them, who escaped into stores and upon woopas bat others were knocked down and two men were badly injured. Horatio McHarg, of New Scotland, had his knee crushed by being knocked down and the horse falling upon it, Another, whose name we could not learn, was cut on the head behind the ear. Two females were knocked down, but were not seriously injured. Several females narrowly escaped injury by fleeing from the sidewalk into the street, or by leaping upon stoops.

During this time there was a policeman named Crowe in the entry, who was not in the bar rovm at all, He was requested to arrest ono who was believed to be one of the rioters, dnd refused. Crowe is understood to be a Know Nothing, especially as he wears what is pointed out as Know Nothing ba viz.: a red ribbon tied in a knot in his button hole. Ho wore it this morning, though I did not. observe it last night. Officer Wood, who attends the Cortlandt street ferry, ran over when he saw the men go from there to the Hotel, supposing from their behaviour that they were bent on mischief, and assisted in the ar- rest. When the rioters ran off to escape, a you man went ahead and had the gate shut down so thai they were stopped, and six of them, whose mames are given in the morning papers, were arrested and taken io the station house. During the fight the barkeeper re- ceived a knife in his right side, which struck against the lowest rib and glanced down.’ He did not mind it so much at first, and Dr. McComb, who examined it after he was carried to the hospital, thought it might not be a fatal wound, though it was'a very bad one. It bled freely, and is now very painful to him, so that he canaot be seen at present. He was brought from the hospital to the hotel, where he now is. One of the young men, Charles C. Connor, whose father is an officer (I believe he is cashier) of the Jaines street favings Bank, and an excellent man, was released from arrest, without bail, because Dr. McComb teatified that bis mother was in very low health, and might grow worse if her son did not return that’ night, The rest of the rioters who were arrested were brought be- fore Justice Osborne yesterday morning.

Both buildings were filled with goods and merchandise of all kinds, of which a por- tion was saved. One thousand barrels of flour were burned.
