THE PROBABLE RESULT OF THE ELECTION. The returns which reached us Jast night have Water iatly altered the complexion of the vor for Governor, and Mr. Seymour's chances for re-election have slmost vanished. We now have the result of sbont four hundred thousand votes, which give Olark 2 plurality, according to our table, of eleven bunired and twenty-three over Seymour, and places the latter candidate some seventeen thousand iv advance of Ullman. There probably has been about four hundicd and sixty thousand votes cast at this election. We bage this opinion upon the ful- lowing figures, taken from the canvass of severa! past years: — 1863—State officers. 1952—Prosidentia! 1844—Presidentia Tt will be seen by the above that at the election 0° 1850, when the same offices were to be filled that have been voted for during the contest just closed, the vote was but four hundred and four thousand, while {the Presidential election of 1852 brought to the polls five hundred and fi'ty-two thousand; but ¥¢ is pretty well known that an election for a chief Magistrate of the na‘ion elicits from seventy-five thousand toa hundred thousand more votes thanour ordinary annual State contes's. If our judgment should prove correct, therefore, in regacd to the number of votes polled, we have about sixty thou Band’ to hear from. ‘The excitement in regord to the resalt is now, we May say, tremendous, in consequence of the close- mees of the vote, and al! those who had quietly re- tured from the political arena snd settled in their winds that Mr. Seymour was for the second time ‘the choice of the people, have again woke up and Degin to look about and calculate the chances. Without venturing an opinion as to who may be the succcsaful candidate, we will give the aggre- gate of the returns as far as they have been received by us. They are as follows :— Horatio Seymour Myron H. Clark. Daniel Ullman, Greene C. Bronso! . ‘We learn from our correspondent at Albany that # is conceded in that city that Clark has been elected.

On the vote for Lieutenant Governor the fog stil! thickens, which is now rendered so impenetrable that we will not hazard an opinion on the result. Ladlow, the soft shell, did not run as well as Sey- mour, while Ford, the hard shell, did better than Bronson, and the other two candidates succeeded in holding their own very well. Returns froma few of the counties only have been received, which present them as follows:— Ludlow, soft shell dem Beroggs, Know Nothii Raymond, whig..

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS, We publish this morning a report of the meeting of ladies in the chapel of the New York Ustversity, on Monday last, for the purpoze of aearing the re- ports from the different industrial schoo's estab- lished in this city, and to listen to a speech from Mr. Brace, of London, in relation to the ragged schools of that city. From the reports it appears that the enterprise of these benevolent ladics has been 80 fa: very tuccessfu', ard ih-y desorve. the support and encourag’ ment of our citizens. SHIP ASHORE. The Belgian ship Vierge Marie, from Antwerp on the llth October, for New Yo:k, is on shore on Long Island beach. She had about one hundred and thirty pessengers on board, of whom twenty: seven died during the voyage. Messrs. Rischmuller & Loescher, the consignees, inform us that the vessel suddenly sprung aleak, and that the captain and pilot ran her ashore to avoid farther danger. The steam tug Mercury went to her relief yesterdiy morning. We publish the particulars of the disas ter, as far as ascertained this morning. LOCAL AFFAIRS, The late confidential clerk of Messrs. Guynette & Co., of this city, was arrested yesterday, charged with the embezzlement of some $3,500 worth of jewelry, diamonds, &>., and subsequently burglari- ously entering their store and carrying off property to the amount of $20,000. On the examination of the priscner he admitted the embezzlement, bu: denied all knowledge of the burglary. A fall report of the proceedings which took place at the celebration of the eleventh anniversary of the German Hebrew Benevolent Society appears in our colomns this morning. Yesterday afterncon a fire took place in the drug store of B. J. Levy & Co., 279 Washington street. A large amount of stock was destroyed. MISCELLANEOUS. The State elections take place io Maseachusetts on Monday next, but no mats meetings are being held or other preparat‘ons mide. The politicians in that State seem jaral)zed, snd the people seem content to leave the matter with ths ballot boxes. A serious accident ccourred to the passenger train on the Southside Railroad, near Farmville, Va., on Thursday. The train ran over a cow and was thrown off the track, by which the fireman was in- stantly killed, and eight or ten of the passengers se- riously injured, An official circular from the Secretary of the Treasury, to the officers of the customs, in relation to the provisions of the reciprocity treaty, will be found in our paper to-day. Sir Edmond Head, the new Governor General of Carada, arrived at Quebec on the 9th inst. The City Bank of Columbus, Ohio, closed its doors yeeterdsy morning. Ite liabilities are said to be heavy. STATE OF THE MARKET. The flour market was fi'm ycsterday at previous rates, while holders in some cases cemanded 12}c. per barrel advance for common biaads. Wheat was held firmer without sales of moment. Corn ad- vanced from 3c. to 4c. per bushel, having closed at 90c. a 91s., with free sales. Pork closed at $128 $1212 for mess. Cotton was about { easier, and the sales embraced about 1,200 bales. ‘The Cabinet Organ and the New York Elec- tion= Returning to Reason ”=—Great Vic- tory. ‘ To enlighten our readers as far as possible upon the amusing results of our late election, we publish this morning the views and opinions of various leading party -papers, coalition anti- slavery whig, silver gray and Know Nothing, hard and soft shell democratic, and adminis tration, par excellence. These commentaries will be read with interest, and from among them all the impartial reader may gather the elements for an approximation to the true merits of the case. / The fanniest and most instractive of these articles is from the Union, the Cabinet organ at Washington. It is the most sober rhapsody, the calmest piece of enthusiasm, the most charming specimen of suppressed d: light, that we have read for many a day. It is an elabo- rate imitation of Punch and Judy. It is full of dry jokes, dignified wit, and official satisfaction It reminds us of the man who made a good din- ner upon a lark, with the aid of a pair of spec- tacles which magnified the fleshless bird to the size of a full grown and well fed capon. As the official Cabinet exposition of our late puz- zling election, let us briefly examine this very spicy and amusing chapter from the Cabi- net organ. It begins by saying there are “generally two sides to every question.” We had supposed that there were at least four in the general question of the late election. Then we are told that the result of the clecticn “shows that even fanaticiem can be arrested in its progress by a united onset at the last hour.” Eacouraging fact! There was a “united onset” then, in spite of the cutting up of the old parties be- tween Seymour, Bronson, Clark and Ullomn. Refreshing information! But there is better still to come. “The New York election is an evidence of returning reason.” So says the Cabinet organ. This “returning reason” ‘means, of course, a return to the administration. Where is it? In | the vote for Governor Seymour? No, for he falls more than fifty thousand behind his vote of two years ago, and has less than one-third o! the popular vote of the State, notwithstanding the support of many whigs upon the liquor question. Is it in the elections to the As- sembly ? the opposition have an overwhelming majority No, for the coalition whigs and in that body over the eight er ten administra- tion democrats. Is it in the elections to Con- gress? Hardly; for of the thirty-three mem bers elected there are but four or five Cabinet election, of “ re urning reaeon ?”’ ‘The firm of Rischmuller & Loescher, No. 70 Green- We have it. “Eureka!” It ishere. “Cer- | tion is what has produced this depreciation and | wich street, in this city, received intelligence yosterday tain lit'le demagogues have been checkmated and crushed. The vote of Judge Bronson That’s it. Unfo tunately, however, the vote for Clark, ‘o some extent, and th- vote for Ull- man, to a very gr at extent, explain the small- ness of the vote for Bronson. Governor Sey- | mour had vetoed the Maine Liquor law. He | stood upon that veto. All men of all parties | whose interests made the defeat of Clark, the , Maine law candidate, the paramount and single issue of the contest, ral ied upon Seymour. The democratic hards discovered that upon this issue there was no middle ground, and no chance, therefore, for Bronsoy. And yet, with all their hereditary democratic antipathy to the contracted doctrines of native American- ism, the hard shells, preferring the election of | a Know Nothing to even a constructive vote | for the administration, went over ‘o the num- ber, perhaps, of fifty thousand for Ullman. Notw thstanding this stunning fact, the face- | tious Cabinet organ says of the Bronson men | that their “corrupt leaders could not keep the | democratic party of New York from coming to- gether.” What a delightful reunion of the demociacy, to be sure! What a brilliant pros- pect is before them and the adminstration with this conjunction, which, with the aid of the Maine law veto and the whigs, gives the reunited democracy something over one-fourth of the popular vote of the State! We already see the good results of the reunion in the re- turns for the Assembly. Out of one hundred members thus far reported, the administration and its reunited democracy have eight; next year they may have nine ; and at this rate of progress, in the course of fifty years they will have a working majority in the lower house. Is not this an “evidence of returning reason ?”” Nor is this all. The Cabinet organ reminds its readers that it has told them heretofore that the democracy of the other States would re- buke the calumniators of the admin‘stration and that “New York would be certain to sym- pathize with the prevailing sentiment of the democracy of the country.” Right again. We say right, because for all practical purposes the administration has been vindicated in New York with the same democratic energy with which it bas been sustained in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi- gan, and elsewhere. And thus, we repeat, in the very language of the Cabinet organ, “has the wildest and most unscrupulous warfare upon an honest public man been rebuked and defeated by a popular decree such as the coun try has not witnessed in twenty years.” Let the Custom House rejoice. Let Tamma- ny Hall he illuminated. The hards are done for. “They could not keep the democratic party of New York from coming together.” What if the Know Nothings hold the balance of power? What if at a single blow they have annihilated the Seward and the Cabinet programme for the euccession? We are content—we are con- soled that in the probable election of Seymour there is evidence that New York is “returning to her reason,” and the honest Dutchman to his lager bier. Speculation, Revulsion and Rascality in ‘Trade. Henry Meiggs, one of the most esteemed citi zens of San Francisco, California and not long since amember of the Board of Aldermen,hasjust fled from his home, after having failed in busi- ness and forged securities to an amount of not less than two millions of dollars. Had this ov curred before Robert Schuyler destroyed pub- lic confidence in the honesty of respectable men the event would have given rise to loud outcry, and much astonishment. But we have passed the etage when sudden conversions of honorable men into scoundrels can excite surprise. We have learnt within the last twelve’ months that the most esteemed characters are not proof against temptation: that in Wall street as we! as in the Five Points, if we would preserve in- dividual probity, we must diminish opportuni- ties for vice. Our best safeguard against being robbed by our banker, or assaulted by our cler- gyman consists in depriving both of the powcr to injure us. It is leas with a view of excusing such men as Schayler and Meiggs than in order to put the public on their guard for the morrow, that we would draw attention to the close connection which exists between the explosion of gigantic frauds like theirs, and the general condition of trade throughout the country. In prosperous times, when stocks are high, business flourish- ing, real estate productive, and all our re sources in process of lucrative developement, the Schuylers and the Meiggs are honest men, and highly respected members of society. It is only when money becomes scarce, and all kinds of property depreciated, that in- tegrity is put to the test, and the unprincipled seek to repair the ravages of hard times by re- sorting to fraud. There is no surer symptom of the peril of our position than the shipwreck of our leading citizens. If there be any who in spite of bank failures, commercial embar- ragements and the general decline of vaiues, still hope that we have weathered the storm, we bid them scan narrowly the cases of Schuyler and Meiggs: proper reflection thereon ought to convince every one that it must have been no ordinary pressure which induced such men as these to barter the high consideration of their fellcw-citizens and their own peace of mind for the wretched condition of disgraced fugitives from justice. ‘ It is useless to attempt to disguise the fact that no symptom of relief from our commercial troubles is as yet apparent. To talk, as isdone in Wall street, of large shipments of gold from Califoritia easing the money market or of or- ders for investments from Europe lightening our load is as futile as it was two months ago to expect relief from the cessation of the cholera. As sensibly might a physician prescribe a heal- ing salve for intestine inflammation. The root of the evil lies too deep to be reached by such panaceas. Let us look at the facts. We have realized, as was shown the other day in these columns, an average depreciation of thirty per cent in our railroad securities, and of seventy-five per cent in alk other speculative stocks during the past twelve months. Real estate has fallen twenty- five per cent. Improved property has declined more than this; but taking the whole together this is a safe average. Merchants will bear us out in the assertion that the regular import trade has not been profitable during the year; we presume an average loss of twenty per cent on investments would not be far out of the way. Of our two great staple exports, corn has paid well: chiefly to the foreign consignee. Cotton has been a source of cruel loss. Those who are curious in such matters could the city of Mexico, and the Dictator had retired to | demozrate, and one of these, in the teeth of the | easily calculate from these data how much less ‘Tacubays, The xeven mglltiong, obtained from this " Kitchen Cabinet, js Kaow Nothing.

During all this time, we have been living beyond our means. In our homes we have dis:la,ed a juxary for which we could not pay. In our business we have | extended our operations far beyond the limits of our capital. In our public enterprises especialiy we have conceiv.d and planned and set to work on a scale which ten times our re- sources would not have enabled us to main- tain. We have built teu times as mavy miles of railroad as we wanted. We have built them badly,and cheaply ; 80 that the expense of keep- ing them in repair soon exceeds their original cost. In our breathless haste to grow rich, we have insisted on dividends when every man of senge could see tbat they had not been earned; hence new debte, crushing our greatest enter- prices to the earth, and, by destroying their credit, diminishing their resources. All our plans as well in our public enterprises as in our individual business and our domestic style of living have been predicated on a eonviction that the prosperity and credit of 1850 was to last for ever. We have all along acted as though we were to have every year some fresh Calitornian discevery. As a matter of course, all this has led to a sudden stoppage. A day has come when we could make no more money, nor borrow any. Savings wehad none : evenin the height of our spring tide we were in debt to the world and the future. How terrible that debt when the ebb came! The whole edifice of the commercial world— railroads, banks, corporations and individual houses—was based upon a system of credit— exorbitant unwarranted credit. The moment that foundation was knocked away—as it was eure to be the first time commercial trouble came—the superstructure fell with a crash to the ground. We have nothing left now but the foundation and the corner stone upon which to build up new enterprises. All else is gone. THE ConFERENCE AT OstTEND.—It is stated in the foreign news by the America, published yesterday, that Capt. Gibeon was the bearer of the result of the conference of American Minis- ters at Ostend to the government at Washing- ton. This is a mistake. Mr. McRae, the American Consul at Paris, was, a8 announeed in Tuesday’s Heraxp, the bearer of the impor- tant despatches in question. We understand Mr. Pierce and his Cabinet are somewhat as- tonished, and not a little annoyed, at the pud- licity we have given to the ultimatum of the ministers. It forces the administration to act; but as this requires some courage, we are not surprised at the hesitation displayed, notwith- standing the fact that Mr. Buchanan has recom- mended the immediate purchase or taking of Cuba. Will the Union inform us what the administration intend to do? Governor MaRcy AND THE PREsIDENCY.— We learn from Washington that Mr. Marcy is quite delighted at the election of Seymour, claiming it asa personal victory for himeelf. His friends already declare their intention of running the ex-Governor for the Presidency, upon the basis of his success Inu carrying the Reciprocity Treaty through, and his personal popularity in this State, as evidenced last Tuesday. Mr. Marcy is quite right in starting upon two issues, on the merit of which his claims are so equally balanced. We to-day dispose of the question of Governor Seymour’s election as an administration victory. When our columns are less crowded we will take up the Reciprocity matter, and show how much credit is due to the administration, and espe- cially Mr. Marcy, for its success. Tae War 1n Evrore.—The English, Scotch and Irieh, all over the world, are patriotically engaged in collecting subseriptions for the re- lief of the widows and orphans of the sailors, soldiers and marines who may be killed in the present war with Russia. Already considerable sums have been contributed in Canada, and over five thousand dollars have thus far been collected in this city for this praiseworthy pur- pose. We publish in our advertising colamas this morning, the names of the committee who have been appointed to receive subscriptions. Honor the brave, and protect the widow and orphan. Irauian Oprra.—We learn that the Directors of the Academy of Music have concluded an arrangement with Mr. Hackett, which will secure us the music of Grisiand Mario for yet a short season. We are also glad to inform the opera-going public that, in the opinion of his physi- cians, Mario will have sufficiently recovered from his late indisporition, to re-appear in some favorite charas- ter on Tuesday next; and that accordingly the Academy will be re-opened with Grisi and Mario on that evening. Nimro’s GarpEN.—To-night is the last on which the New York public will have an opportunity to see the admirable performance of little Kate Bateman, who will repeat her great character of Joseph, in the comedietta called ‘‘My Grandmother's Pet.’ We regret to learn that little Ellen still lies extremely indisposed, and un- able to appear, even to bid us farewell; but this we hope will prove only an additional inducement to the friends of these children to rally to little Kate’s benefit to-night, and enable her to cheer her invalid sister with the assur- ance that though absent she is not forgotten. The won- derful Rousset sisters also appear in a great variety of their best dances; and we hope to see a good attendance at Kate Bateman’s benefit at Niblo’s to-night. Frou Mrx1co.—By the brig Reveille, Captain Bartlett, from Laguna, arrived yesterday, we have dates to Sept. 21, The health of the place was pretty good; everything quiet.

No work me days past, it z 3 Hat oF 1h ta amr os pe ea | morning that the ship Vierge Marie, from Antwerp, bound | to New York, was on shore on Long Island beach. ‘It appears that the Vierge Marie, a Belgian ship, sailed from Antwerp on the 11th of October, under the com- mand of Capt. C. Suykens, fhe had on board a cargo of French and Belgian goods, and from one hundred and _ twenty-five to one hundred and thirty passengers. Be- fore she was many days at pea several of the passengers sickened, and when she received her pilot twenty-seven Tue Vierge Marie proceeded on her voyage until early on Thursday morning, when she took a pilot. and was making water very fast. The leak gained #0 rapidly that it was considefed prudent, both by the pilot and Captain Suykens, torunher ashore. This was , accordingly done, and the vessel took the ground on the south side, of Long Island, about twelve miles cast of Montauk light. Messrs. Rischmuller & Loescher received intelligence of the disaster about eight o’clock yesterday morning, and immediately despatched the steam tug Mercury to the aid of the ship and the relief of the passengers. ‘The Mercury had an ample supply of bed clothing and provi- ° sions on board; and there was little doubt entertained yesterday evening but the people would reach New York in comfort during last night. At the hour of our latest advices the Vierge Marie had eight feet of water in her hold;.but tie weather was very mild, and it was considered certain that the Mer- enry could reach near enough to take away all her pas- sengers in a short space of time. Marine Affairs. Quick PaseacE To AustTnatia.—The clipper eh'p Night- ingale, Capt. Mather, of the Pioneer line, and carrying the United States mails, has made a very quick trip to Melbourne from this city. She sailed hence at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 19th of May, with a fair but light wind, and on the morning of the 4th of August delivered her mails and files of the New York Hsnatp of the 19th May, at Melbourne, thus making the voyage from city to city in 77 days, or 75 days from pilot to pilot. The cele- brated English clipper ship Marco Polo made the passage from Liverpool in 68 days, which we believe is the short- est made by any sailing vessel from Europe. Lieutenant Maury, as well as some experienced shipmasters, asiert that Liverpool is at least ten days nearer than New York, owing to the prevalence of more favorable winds, thus making the Nightingale’s passage the shortest ever accomplished by a sailing vessel from either America or Europe. TELEGRAPHIC. THE STEAM PROPELLER MOHAWK WRECKED. Harrrorp, Nov. 10, 1854, The steam propeller Mohawk, on her passage from Alba- | | tion of burning it down, ny to this city, was wrecked last night on Saybrook bar, at the mouth of the Connecticut river. She sunk to her deck in about eight feet of water. She was loaded with corn and oats below, and with flour on deck. The flour will be saved, but the grain will undoubtedly be a total loss. She is owned by Henry French, of this city, and both the vessel and the cargo were but partially insured. SAILING OF TEE STEAMSHIP CAHAWBA. New Ortxans, Noy. 9, 1854. The steamship Cahawbsa sailed from here to-day, for New York via Havana. Important Case IN THE SuPERIOR Covrt.—We learn from a source to be relied upon, that the important suit of Ogden vs. Astor, wherein the former claims a settle- ment of the partnership accounts of his deceased bro- ther, is likely soon to be again brought before this court. Our readers may recollect we published, some two or ‘three years since, the decision of the court, ordering “the accounts to be set aside, and appointing a roferee, under whose direction a new account was to be stated. The books of Mr. Astor have been undergoing a thorough investigation for nearly two years past, which it was thought would lead to an adjustment of the accounts of the partnership; but recently, as we are told, all amica- ble arrangements have been entirely broken off. When the proceedings become public we shall furnish the readers of the Hxratp with a full report of the investi- gation.
