According to present ind cations, Seymour is ‘elected Governor of the State, although it is possi- ble the complete returns may materially change tbe result. The following is the aggreate vote, a5 ‘@® ae receivee up toa late hour last night:— Seymcur, Clim Clark, ONSOR, 75,279 62, 67,040 13,389 6, iB will be seen that Seymour has upwards of twalve thourand more votes than Uliman, aud eight thou- sand.ceven hundred more than Clark, whieb, judg tog from the closeness of the vote, as far as re- ta.na have been received, we should think are figur-s too high to be overcome by either of the other two prominent candidates. Te xeturns for Zientenant Governor are 80 meagre, that we can hardly find sufficient pasis for # covjecture, aithough the contest seems mainly to ie vetweea Ludlow, tke soft shell democrat, and Brigadic: Gastavas Ado’phus Scroggs, the Know Nothing cendidaie. ‘The vote for Mayor of this city is very close, ax between Fernardo Wood gad Barker. The foliow ing is the reals as far as avcertained: — Woeud Barker.

Ireland. 39,827 IL, 783 9,511 8,135 Seven districta are yet to hear from, but they cavnot change the resuit, so far aa relates to Mr. Doane being the successful candidate.

We publish this morning that portion ot General ‘Case's speech, delivered at Detrojt on the 4th inst., referring to the recent attacka of the Richmond £xquirer on him in relation to his opiaion on tho slavery question. The General treats the subjec’ with bis usual ability, and his speech will command wttention. TRE SCHUYLER FRAUDS. A large meeting of the stockholders in the New Haven Railroad took place yesterday forenoon, ia New Haven, to decide what should be done with ‘the spuricus stock. The day was mostly taken up by a rambling debate upon a series of rasolutions offre at the opening of the meeting by Mr. Brad ford, of Massachusetts; first, expressing on behalf Of the stockholders a want of confidence in the pre- wen: board of directors; second, resommen ling the lection of a xew board; third, recommending tha’ the board tzke the opinion of Messrs. Wood and Noyes for their guide in future; and fourth, that ‘the services of another counsel be engaged on be- half o’ the stockholders, in case of litigation upon the subject of the fraudulent stock. The debate upon ‘here resolutions was long and spirited, but w+. yote upon them had not been taken at the time of Msing our report of the proceedings, published fm another column. STEAM NAVIGATION IN NEW GRANADA, A number of gentlemen met yesterday afternoon @ Delmovico’s Hotel, for the purpose of listening to some interesting information from Mr. Henry Vendryes, in relation to the proposed opening of a capalte steam névigation in New Granada. Mr. V. stated that ibe canal was bailt by the Spaniards two bundred and fifty years ago, and that he had a contract with the government of the province of Cartagena for repairing and putting it in naviga- bie order, with tha exclasive privilege of navigatiog it with ctearm for sixty years. Mr. Vondryes ex plained toe nature of the conutry and the character of the people, ané his remarks excited mach igter- est among those preent. THE SLAVE TRADING CASE. ‘The tertimony for the prosecution in the case of Captain James Smith, charged with trafficking ir slaves, was closed, and the case for the prisoner e@ommenced yesterday, by which it appears that one of the principal features of the defence is that the accused is nota citizen of the United States, and therefore not smenable to the act of Congress under wiich he is indicted. #BANK EXCITEMENT IN. CINCINNATI—SUICIDR. Much excitem-n' prevailed yesterday in Cincin- nati, in regard to some of the banking establishments fa that city. Several houses had stopped payment, snd closed their doors, though all of them report au excers of asects. Fréderick Gedge, Prosident of the Covington and Lexington Railroad, comwmitted suicide yesterday by throwing himself across the track while a train wee passing, witich severed his head from his body. The retarn of billa from this city, drawn agaioat th- bonds of the company, supposed to have been a0 i ere, and on which the directors and himself bai Imavily endorsed, is alleged as the cause of th: wash act.

The jary returned a verdict that ; he received his death at the bands of Patrick Calla- | han, snd a warrant was issued for his arrest. MISCELLANEOUS. Hon. David Murray, a prominent citizen of | Utica, and a member of the New York State Legis lature in 1862, died at his residence in that county on the 7h inst. i We learn from Quebec that the Legislative As- sembly had «cme to an anderstanding to vote a sam of money, amounting to about one hundred thouracd dollarr, for the,relicf of the widows end orphans of the :o!di+rs who were killed in the late battles of the allied army in the war against Rasia. Three men were killed at Marcellus, in this State, yesteiday, by the caving in of an embankment. Their niwes were not ascertained. STATE OF THE MARKETS. Flour was dull yeserday, and the market closed at 124 cents per bbl. lower, for commonto extra brands. Wheat was dail, with sellers to arrive on easier terms. Corn sold freely at 85c. a 85hc., with some at 86c. Pork closed at 12c. decline for mess. Cotton was stead y, with sales of 1,700 bales, 1,000 of which wete in tramsitu. The iron market was active, with an {mprovement in prices. Within two or three days about 5,000 tons of Scotch pig bave exchanged hands. The sales yesterday were at $34 2 $35 per ton : The Election—Seymonr the Governor—Wood the Mayor=Seward Circumvented. Our returns are incomplete; but we think they settle the question who is Governor. Sey- mour is evidently the man. A plurality ex- ceeding nine thousand in this city and the heavy turnout of some of the northern coun- ties in his behalf, have done the work. This postpones the Maine liquor law for at least two years to come. The result, however, is due to the diversion by the Knuw Nothings of a large whig silver gray and Know Nothing vote upon Ullman. The opponents of the pro- posed despotic and absolute liquor prohibition are, therefore, indebted to the disgust excited by the anti-slavery affiliations of the Seward platform for the defeat of Clark and his bill of pains and penalties. The most remarkable feature in this election is the heavy vote for Ullman in the western counties, where it was supposed the abolition coalition majorities would be rolled up by thou- sands. On the other hand, Clark picks up »mazingly in the northern counties, of which St. Lawrence (a small State in itself) is the chief; and here, too Seymour recovers his lost ground, while Ullman falls away behind. We can only account for this from the supposition that the people of the northern counties are not much troubled concerning the Pope of Rome, cr that the Know Nothings have neglect- ed their system of organization in that quarter of the commonwealth. The Know Nothing candidates for Lieutenant Governor, for Canal Commissioner and State Prison Inspector are most probably elected, judging from the run of our scattering figures. The Congressional returns indicate the pres- sure of the Nebraska question to be decidedly against the bill, and the administration, with a scattering Know Nothing or two. In this city, where the Seward coalition have been so sig- ally beaten in other respects, they are left a grain of comfort or two in the overthrow of Mike Walch, Nebraska hard shell, in the re-elec- tion of John Wheeler, anti-Nebraska hard shell. aad in the fact that from defeat, resignations or otherwiee, not one of our city Nebraska mem- bers of the present Congress is reelected. We imagine, however, that it was the personal popularity of John Wheeler, and the presence of three opposing candidates in his district—a hard shell, a soft shell and a whig—that had more to do with his election than his opposition to the Nebraska bill. The oppositson to the Seward coalition for the Assembly have been doing very well From present appearances, it will bother the friends of the arch-agitator to secure his re- election to the United States Senate, even should they have a nominal majority of the lower house, Fernando Wood is Mayor by 328 plurality over Barker. Nor should we be surprised were Mr. Wood to turn out the most practical and efficient municipal reformer that we shall have had in the mayor’s office for some time. He fully understands the desires of our fellow- citizens, and their ex- pectations ; and his interests and his fatare popularity liein the same channel. We refer our readers to the returns for our other city of- ficers. It is remarkable that here in this cor poration, where, from their direct contact with our adopted cittzens and Catholic population it was thought the Know Nothings woald prove to be most formidable, they have scarcely no- complished anything. We have but a Know Nothing or two here and there among: the schedule of our municipsl candidates. They were crippled by the contest between “ bai liquor, good liquor, and no liquor at all,” and by the cross firing among the numerous con- testing candidates for the public service. New York stands alone in the recent Northern elections, Peunsylvania, Obio and Indiana were carried by an overwhelming alliance of whig entislavery factions, temperance men ani! Know Nothings: and the same combinations eppear to have effected similar results in New Jersey, Michigan, Hlinois and Wisconsin. Per contra, tae independent State ticket of the Know Nothings in New York, and the resulte of the election from this movement, have se- ricusly demaged the estimates ef the Seward coalition fer future © erations In fact, we coveider the New York K»ow Nothing move ment a8 “settlin. the hash” for W.

We repeat that we feel authorized to pro- nounce Seymour the Governor, from the retarns before us; but we would recommend, notwith- | standing, a ud'cicu- moderation of enthusiasm | On the part of his friends until further advices | are received. There are some inside and bor- | der counties yet to be filled up. Seymour, we think, is enugly elected ; but let us await the | complete returns, Don’t bet, for a few hours | yet, on the result. General Cass’s Speech. We give to-day an important speech from | General Cass, delivered on the evening of the fourth instant, at Detroit, and probably in- tended to follow the elections which have just tuken place in several of the Northern States, end to introduce a new lesson into the service of the political church of the country. The General is evidently in the belief that, however horribly his forces may be mutilated in the contest just closed, the war is still only doing its incipient work. He has lived long enough to know that factions and fanaticism live but a day, while the cause of truth and justice and of good government survives to redeem their errors and to redress their grievances. His speech on the present cccasion, though nominally directed to the Richmond Enquirer, bears the @nprees of a careful enunciation of his views 10 the whole South. The doctrines of “squatter covereignty” come in for an ela borate defence—and if the Richmond Enquirer intends to resist that constitutional principle in the administration of this country—a prin- ciple distinctly and affirmatively affirmed in the Territorial bills of the last Congress, and practically executed for the last twenty years, it will require a more vigorous pen than has yet been employed. It is the right of the people to govern themeelves+a right which may be questioned in this country—but never successfully resisted. It rests upon the prin- ciples which established us as an independent nation. It cannot be impaired without des- troying the unity and equity of our political system. It is necessary alike to the North and to the South ; because it separates the government from the perplexing question of slavery, and leaves it to a tribunal who alone are interested in its existence, and who are rightly charged with its fate. The doctrines of non-intervention, in connec- tion with this subject, are precisely what every community would claim as an evident right— that is, the management of its own affairs in its own way. The opinions of our neighbors and friends are seldom thought of much value when inopportunely thrust upon us. Truth is gene. rous and communicative, and there is little rea- son to believe that it is monopolized by any one party or in any one place, It is as ltkely to be found in the Territory as in the State. It gains no strength by being endorsed by num- bers or by reputation. At all events, the his- tory of the last twenty years clearly enough proves that the Territories will have practical non-intervention. It is hard to give up a right which we have all along thought was ours, al- though the proof be very conclusive that we have all along been in error about it. Precise- ly co is it with the fanatic intermedlers with the question of slavery, the great blow to whose fortunes we believe to have been struck in the election just closed in New York. If we are right, and our hopes are to be real- ized in the result of that election—if the mass of fasive corruption which threatened *; nouiute the whole political gumdsphere of the country has been removed—an opportunity is offered to form a national party and to save the country. Gen. Cass takes leave of the South, so far as its favors are concerned, but still avows his pur- Pose to mantully defend its constitutional righ: § He wisely counsels the friends of the Union to forbearance and moderation, so far as mere pers conal interests are concerned, and to vigilance and activity in connection with the maintenance of constitutional rights. His remarks form a suitable adenda to the election excitements just closing. One of the Advantages to be Derived from the Election. Now that the fear of the prohibitory liquor law is removed from our minds, it is right that we should turn our attention seriously and zeal- ously to the evils of intemperance. We, who have opposed Myron H. Clark’s bill, are now bound to devise some equally effectual plan for the suppression of drunkenness, and the improve- ments of public morality. The temperance party have a right toexpect this of us; we owe it to ourselves. Nor have we any fear in as- suming the responsibility. 3 . Eee Se nee There are three ways of checking the pro- |’ grees of drunkennees without a prohibitory law. The first isin the hands of Congress; the se- cond in those of the State Legislature; the third in thoee of the Common Councils of the cities, The first is such an alteration of the teriff as would encourage the importation of good liquors and discourage that of trash. The second is such an amendment of the excise laws #8 would empower the magistrates to effect sweeping restrictions and curtailments in the granting of licenses. The third is the total prohibition of the sale of adulterated liquors With the exception of brandies, all imported liquors pay a duty ad valorem. Hence good and expensive wines and liquors cost more in proportion than cheap and common ones. Wine merchants find it more profitable to import stuff which costs them halfa dollar a gallon landed on the wharf, and a dollar after passing through the Custom House, than to buy, in France or Spain, liquors which cost two dollars on the apot, and are neceesarily worth five here. An ad valorem duty of one hundred per cent amounts to an exclu sion of the better claes of liquors. None but the richest can afford to indnige in such costly luxuries, Men of moderate means are obliged to content themeelves with cheaper varieties on which the duty does not bear so heavily. Now, if, instead of an ad valorem duty which really favors bad liquors at the expense of good, the rule pursued in the case of brandics were applied to all spirituoas liquors, the ease | would be very different. If it cost ne more— as wevld then bappen—to import the best wines than tbe commonest, it would obviously follow thot surim»orters would at once reverse their pre ent plan, snd deat in nothing bat wiohkseme, eourd epirits. This would be an immense step towards reform. Second'y, the facilities afforded by the grog | shope of this c) y for getting drunk are unques- tienebly too large. They are too numerous, too prominent, too unserupulous'y kept. If cut of the whole number o' drinking salons in New York nine-rentbs or perhaps four-fifths were closed and swept out of existence, it does not appear to us that the health, the morals or the comfort of the city would be njured there- by. of nineteen out of every twenty corner groceries were forbidden to s Il liquor under heavy penalties, nothng but benefits would flow from the change. We do not want all these liquor dens, where nothing but vice is hatched; and though we cannot consent to pur- chase their suppression at so heavy a sacrifice | as the surrender of our personal rights, we would | willingly see them diminished in number till | thty ceased to offend the eye or endanger the morals, This branch of the reform rests with the Legislature. Amendments to our city charters ehould be passed empowering the magistrates of each city to refuse to license over one-tenth of the prerent retail liquor dealers,and to toke away the license of any seller in »),33¢ premises a boy should have obtained liquor or aman should be proved to have got drunk. An enactment of this nature would answer all the useful purposes of the prohibitory law, and would avoid its faults. Finally, the Common Council should put an end forever to the sale of adulterated liquors. No reform could be more easily accomplished than this. It would only be necessary to appoint an officer and assistants whose duty it should be to test the quality of liquor cold : to establish a standard below which all liquor sold should be deemed adulterate ; and to pass an ordin- ance punishing with severity every dealer found guilty of selling adulterated epirits or wine. The office of inspector should not be elective, but should be in the gift of the Mayor, to whom the incumbent ehould be responsible. Any person purchasing liquor which appeared adul- terated should be bound under the ordinance to make affidavit of the fact and deposit a por- tion of the liquor in the office of the Chief of Police, in order that a prosecution should be forthwh instituted against the vender of the same. The punishment of the latter when con- victed should be fine and imprisonment; and in the event of neglect of duty on the part of the inepector or his assistants, they should in like manner be subject to imprisonment. Such enactments as these would in the course ofa couple of years make New York as re- markable for its temperance as it now,is for its drunkenness. Mr. Seymour and the other offi cers elected on Tuesday owe it to themselves to eet about the work at once. Tue Souprers or THE War or 1812.—The President of the Military Convention held in Philadelphia on the 9th of January last, has just issued the following notice:— The defenders of the country in the second war of in- dependence who still survive, and the children of such as are dead, are requested to ‘send delegates to the city of Washington, to attend a convention fo be held there on the 8th of January next, 1855, to adopt such mea- sures aswill induce Congress not only to do justice to them, but also to the widows of those who have gone to their last account. We trust that this invitation will be gene- rally responded to by the gallant veterans to whom it is addressed, and that they will send such a number of delegates to the seat of the national government as will ensure favorable attention to theif claims. The impression likely to be produced by their presence upon the pub- lic mind in Washington will no doubt contri- bute greatly to the success of their cause. Cross Firnva.—On diesegting the results of the voting for State officers, one {s forglbly re- minded of Captain Marryatt’s triangular dic!: There never was an election, perhaps, in which more cross issues have been called into play to distract and divide the popular choice. Some of the candidates stood upon so many principles that it required the exercise of ingenuity onthe part of a conscientious voter, to hit his mark. A good mgny, we fear, have overshot it. Re a | S16ns or Procress.~On the eve of elections there.is generally @ display of official energy. One of its results we are happy to announce is the removal of the stump of the liberty tree which has so long occupied the centre of the pavement ne@r the Atlantic street ferry, in Brooklyn, to the great danger, and not unfre- quent injury of paseengersat night. Now, that the rostrum is gone, stump oratory is likely to fall into discredit in our sister city. Gore, Gora, Gone.—That transparent hum- bug, the Crystal Palace, is now in progress of diememberment, under the nimble opera- tions of those levellers of worldly vanities, public auctioneers. Had the hammer becn used as diligently in its construction as it is wielded by theee gentlemen in its demolition, the Directors of the exhibition would not have been driven to the melancholy necessity of call- ing in Barnum to bolster it up. Want or Conrston.—Political coalitions are seldom fortunate. The Seward compact has already exploded and the Anglo-French alliance looks very like a burster. Drevomatic—American Sickles cut sharp and reap best ina whirlwind. George Peabody used diecretion in getting as fast as possible out of their sweep. Police Iutelligenee. Arrests for Megal Voting.—Three men, named James Griffiths, James McCole, and Join Carroll, were arrested by the Twenty-first ward police, on the charge of having voted ly at the poll taken to the Jefferson me i.s. ted for examination, The New Haven ivi ket arrested, Tepot, for steal ticut, was, we are rc J.C, Kinner, of the (hoes be an old thief, liaving bee being connected with the him on the spot, on suspi Loomis, Loomis, of Cannec- ©, arrested by officer +, who, knowing him to «otto the State paisoa for on barge robdery, arrested on of having: Pobbed Mr. Jersey City Intelligence.

Another Homicide. Coroner Wilhelm yesterday held an inquest at No, 78 Broome street,"upon the body of a young man named George W. Barrett, who died yesterday morning from the effects of injuries received the night previous in the grocery of James McConnell, No. 80 Broome street. The evidence adduced went to show that Barrett, Patrick Callahan, and others, were in the grocery between 10 and li o'clock on Tuesday night, drinking and talking about politics, Barrett ordered three glasses of liquor for himself, Callahan, and another, and was handing the glasses from the counterwhen, apparently without provogation, he threw the glasses and liquor at Calla- han. Tho parties then clenched, and a fight ensued, in which Callahan strack Barrett on the head with a tin beer can, Loar Roy senseless upon the floor. The man was immediately taken to hia residence, 78 Broome street, where be remained until his death. Price B. Lod, *, renee t 380 Cherry treet, belt ice B. Lodge, a st sworn, says:—I am 8 physician; last night, about 15 o'clock, T was called visit |, at 78 Broome street, where I found him laboring under symptoms of disease of the brain; he had profuse bleeding from the forehead, in consequence of a rupture of the artery, which had caused tumour, or an aneurism that I had opened; his face was also much swollen and bruised shout the mouth and nose: he had sterterous breathing, which was relieved by the bleeding; I had attended him during previous fits of intoxication, and thought he was laboring more under the latter influence than any in- jury he might have received; I did not consider his con- dition #0 precarious as it turned out to be, but intended to have visited him to-day; he was quite sensible when I saw him; | assisted at the post mortem examination held by Dr. Uhl, and fully concur in his opinion an to the cause of death, Dr. Uh] made a post mortem examination, and he found there were two contused wounds on the forehead, an inch anda half above the bridge of the nose; both blackened, and the face presented marks ; no other marks of violence on the body. tho brain I found an extravasation of about six ounces of clotted blood between the dura mater and the brain, on the right side of the head. The mem- brane of the brain was much congested, and the sub- stance of the brain somewhat poftened. From the his. tory of the case, together with the examination, I am of opinion that death was caused by compression of the brain produced by the injuries received. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of ‘Death from injuries received at the hands of Patrick Callahan.” The deceased was a native of New York, twenty-six years of age.
