It was understood by the frie of the candidates here, and by the candidates themselves, . The simple truth is, that the only friends of Mr. Clark, who remained earnestly and frankly in his support te the last, were the straight forward tem Fance men, and that portion of the national whigs who were not. frank, open and earnest in their opposition to biw. This is accounted for from the fact that the Seward men regardei the at to “be accomplished, in fact asthe only thing desirable, was the return Mr. Seward to the Senate. They were opposed to a pro- wy law, and therefore willing to sce Clark sacri- doubted his subserviency to the central ‘were therefore willing to-see him sacrificed. THD LEGISLATURE. the Rochester Democrat, Nov. 11.] ‘There sre thirty-two members of the Senate, twenty- two of whom were clected as whigs. Two of the number, Messrs. Brooks ani Whitney, are not expected to vote for the candidate the whigs will nominate for United Btates Semator, but all the others probably will. ‘The Asseenbly consists of 128 members, and itis known that about eighty whigs ae elected, This will give the Whigs one hundred on joint ballot, to sixty locofocos. But these are a few silver grays elected to the Assembly, who will. not vote for the re-election of Gov. Seward, or any other free soil whig. It is claimed that Peck, of Miagara, and Lamport, of Ontario, are of this stripe, and there may be a few others. But they cannot, even by a “favion™ with the locofocos, control the result. It may therefore be regarded as pretty well settled that Gov. Seward will be re-elected United States Senator by quite a kerge majority.

ARREST OF W. H. ARRISON, THE PERSON INDICTED FOR THE MURDER OF DR. 8, H- ALLISON AND WIFE. | (From the Cincinnati Gazette, Nov. 10. It will be generally.remembered that the public ear in Cincinnati was stunned, on the morning of the 27th of June last, by the alarming intelligence that the Super- intendant of the Marine Hospital, on the e@rner of West- ern row and Longworth street, and his wife, had been made the victims of the design of some miscreant, who, in tne guise of a-present, had sent them an “infernal | machine,’ which, exploding while being opened, blew twenty-two pieces of balls, slugs and pieces of iron into the legs and body of Mr. Allison, and otherwise so horri- bly mutilating him that he died before morning.

A Jealous Colored Individual.—A colored man named | Elias Birch came to the Sixth ward station house, on | Saturday night, and stated that he had stabbed a colored woman naried Lavinia Thompson, living in Church | street, near Lispenard, from motives of jealousy, and, | in view of that fact, wished to surrender himself to the officers of the law. Lieut. Martin, who was present in the station house, set about immediately to make in- quiries into the truth of Birch’s statement, and, after | some difficulty, found that what had been told him by | the prisoner was substantially correct; that the woman | in question had been on intimate terms with the priso- ner, and that on the above night he had called to see her at her residence, where some altercation taking place | relative to marriage, Birch drew a knife and inflicted | three severe gashes upon the right and left shoulders of the woman, He then left the scene of difficulty, and came to the station house, where he delivered himself up. He rs that the woman was engay to him, but she denies it. Comrhitted for examination. Arrest of Burglars Caught in the Act.—At an early hour yesterday morning, two men named John Sweeney , and James Brandon, were found by officers Farrell and McGuire, of the Fourteenth ward police, in the store of Mark O'Brien, No. 216 Bowery, in the act of packing up a bandle of goods payers. to being conveyed away. ‘The burglars had got into the prenaises by ‘forcit rear window, and succeeded admirably in their plua until the arrival of the officers prevented them eastying their design fully into effect. hey were taken before | Justice Wood, yesterday, at Exsex Market, who commit- ted them for examination.

THE CITY UNDER MARTIAL RULE. The storm yesterday undoubtedly put a damper on out-door piety, and agcordingly, contrary to expectation, there was no street preaching in the Fourteenth ward. During yesterday afternoon, within a compass of five or six blocks from the corner of Second end North Sixth streets, where the riot occurred, squads of persons were gathered, but everything was quiet. In Fifth street, in the vicinity of the Odeon, a large number of per- sons were congregéted, many of them having assembled to attend the funeral of Mr. John H. Smith, who, we are happy to say, was alive last evening, and apparently im- proving, although little hopes are entertained of his re- covery by the attending physician. About three o’clock yesterday afternoon two young men were attacked by a party ef Irishmen in North Second street, and badly beaten. Officers were des- patched to ferret out the assailants, but were unsuc- cessful, The military, under Col. Abel Smith, acting Brigadier- General, during yesterday held themselyos in readiness at their quart@rs, in case of emergency, Last evening the following companies were stationed at the Odeon in Fifth street:—Light Guard, Capt. Clark; Continental Guard, Capt, Sharp; Brooklyn Cadets, Capt. Edmonds; Greenwood Guards, Capt. Amesbury—all of Brooklyn. A detachment of four companies of the Fourteenth regiment were alvo held in readiness at the Armory in Brooklyn, From Williamsburg—Jefferson Blues, Captain Kichl; Washington Rifles, Capt, Wills; City Rifles, Capt. Beton; Washington Troop, Capt. John Wills, About six o'clock last evening a drenching rain set in, | and up to a late hour there were no indications of a riot. APPEARANCE OF THE CITY YESTERDAY. The most intense excitemont prevailed in Williamsburg yesterday, in consequence of the many absurd rumors that were afloat. Every presaution thatrit was possible to make was taken by the city authorities. The military were ordered to hold themselves im readiness, and the police were on the alert during the day, To add to the excitement, it was anmounced that some of the most in- flammatory of the street preachers were to hold forth on the corner of Second and North Miia streets. Although the day was wet—indeed it was raining more or less during the entire day, and tovjaads evening it poured a perfect torrent—the principal streets were crowded with groups of men and boys, who were on the lookout for the ‘fun,’ if any should 6¢cur. ‘Up to Inte in the even- ing, however, there was no appearance of a riot, to the great dismay of sundry ill-looking young gentlemen, who shad evidently calculated on having a “ good time.” The strect preaching, owing, doubtless, to tho rain | storm, did not come off, and.the crowds who had assom- bled to hear Parsons, &e., seemed somewhat puzzled ‘to know how to pass their time. They accordingly cluster- ed in groups in front of the Odeon, and all along Grand’ | and Fifth streets, where they might be heard discussing the probable chances of Clark and Seymour—the weather .—whether thore would be a row, and other interesting, profitable and amusing questions. It was hard to tell who were the adherents of the two factions; indeed, all seemed very shy of expressing their opinions, for fear ‘The only symptom of a row was in the neighborhood of the sta- tion house, where two gentlemen of an argumentative turn of mind; during the course of thoir conversation, as arguers are wont to do, became highly excited; so much so, that every one around expected that it would end in a “rough anil tumble.” However, it all ended, as Ham- let has it, in— “ Words, words, words.’’ Those who could not argue, passed their time in what- anes could be found open; and as the old song as it * ete mena Hy ial, brie ‘Twelve Days Later from Austraita. THE RAPID PASSAGE OF THE LIGHTNING—THE STRAM SHIP GREAT BRITAIN AT AVSTRALIA—ARRIVALS OF GOLD—NEW DIGGINGS—TRADE REPORTS AND GOLD CIRCULARS. The clipper ship Lightning, American built, which left Melbourne on August 20th, arrived at Liverpool on 23d of October, making the home passage in sixty-three days, and thus snatehing her recently acquired laurels from the Red Jacket, The London Times, speaking of her perform- ance, Kays:— x The Lightning sailed hénce on the 14th of May, and has made the voyage out and home, including the deten- tion of 20 clear days at her anchors in Hobson’s Bay, in five months eight days and twenty-one hours, mean the Rock Light till she was back in the river again; thus performing the voyage in upwards of three days less time than the Red Jacket, notwith- standing that she was at anchor in Hobson’s Bay for a poyiod of five days more than that vessel. ‘he time oceupied by the Lightning in making the round voyage to Australia and hack, considering her de- tention in port, is unprecedentedly short, notwithstand- that the outward voyage, from the nature of the winds experienced, occupied longer than might have reasonably been expected from the well-known qualifi- cations of the ship and the ability of her commander.

Cae Otway light was made on the night of the 20th of July, Port Phillip Heafts on the 30th, and she cast anchor, as above stated, in Hobson’s Bay, on the Slet, her run having occupied 773, days, mean time. Our dates from Melbourne are to August 20, The screw steamer Great Britain, which sailed from Liverpool on the 13th of June, arrived in Hobson’s Bay at2 P.M. on the 18th of August, and came to anchor, but was afterwards compelled to proceed to Ticomlerago Pay, to perform a rigid quarantine, several cases of smailpox having occurred an board. During a week previous to 23d of August the gold es- corts brought the following amounts, namely, from Mount Alexander and Bendigo, 23,426 ounces, and from Ballarat, 4,206 ounces. The Porlland Bay Guardian states that new ga diggings hnd been diseovered about twelve miles from that town. ‘A Geelong paper, of the 18th of August, says:—The diggin, geetally ‘are reported at present as rather inac- tive. The unusually dry winter is evidently telling in a very great, degree against the general yield of gold. On the Mount Alexander side all the cry is for water; a great many places are named—pieces of ground which have been reserves! for winter's diggings—where, as set to work. Asa general rule, our experi- ence as a gold producing country, as far as it has gone, shows thatthe rainy season is the best suited for the employment of gold seeking; while a few places are, and can be only wrought in summer, there are treble that number where the water is the derideratum, Our fresh discoveries are made, for the most part, during the win- ter.

Messrs. Buchanan, Mason and Sonlé agree that the affair is national in its charac- fer, and must be treated as such. The lateat telegraphic intelligence which has been received by the French avd English governments -is dated from the Crimea, on the 20th October. At that time the siege, according te the London Times, was going on favorably; the bombardment from the '} tienches of the besieging armies had been resumed ‘on the 19th, with effest; but the enemy is not re- ported to bave sustained the loss of any essential pertof the fortress, From the moment thet 4, gaz ‘Sebastopol.

Nothing further of the document has transpired; but there are not wanting those who say that the note was dictated by the Ozar himself, to afford a pretext for renewal of negotiations. Advices from Vienna continue to express confi- dence that the Germanic States will take part with Aostria. It is noticed, as an indication, that the Ber lin New Prussian Gazette has been ordered, under threat of confiscation, to cease its attacks on the Freneh government. Rumors are again current in Vienna that a Bava- r'an army will occupy the Austro-Italian provinces, tor the purpose~ef enabling Austria to have her whole force available, in case of hostilities with Russia.

As yet no reliable intelligence to that effect bas reached us, though it is presumed that ere this the doomed city has fallen. “The heavy meta. of the guns of the besi¢gers. is. such that if the town did not capitulate it would be knocked to pieces io forty eight hours. Various sorties have been made by the Russians, but with no success. They have sent some eighty-four pound shot into the allied camps from their heavy batteries. 1,000 sa‘l- ora, with fifty guns from the fleet (32 pounders,) had been landed, and about 1,600 marines, The reinforce ments received by the allies bring up their united strength to nearly one hundred thousand men. Considerable obscurity prevails over the movements of the Rossians; the very whereabouts of Menschi- koff is ignored; Gens. Osten-Sacken, Luders, Gorts chakoff and others are all reported to be advancing with large forces to raise the siege and give battle near Belaklava; 15,000 troops are also suid to have reinforced Sebastopo! by the north side, which is open. 3,000 cavalry made a show of attack on the 5th onthe English outposts, but withdrew when the English cavalry tarned ont to meet them. Supposing Menachikoff dares battle on the plain | in frout of Balaklava, the forces of the aliies are al- moet equal to his own, (supposing that the Russian reinforcements have reached him,) and the stimulus of the victory of the Alma is such that, with the ad- vantage of the heights, this time in the possession | of the allies, no fear is felt for the result. Deserters say that the Russians are resolved to | die like men, and will defend every stone of the { walls, and blow themselves up if necessary.

A despateh from Prince Menschikoff, to the Emperor Nicholas, sunounces that on the morning of the 17th Ovtober, — the eiemy, é¢ est., the allies, opened their fire by sea, oud by lend upon Sebastopol.

Asit gives some details not to be found io the sews- papers, I condense for you the most important ointe. The letter is written by an intimate friend of mine, and can be implicitly relied upon. .

It was on the 10th of October,a nightfall,that ground was brokes: end trenches opened at a distance of 750 yards from the Russian batteries, and the work was continued ov the 11th. The fire of the Russians did very little damage, and did not prevent the men working. Lord Raglan having been informed that a plot was on foot by the Greeks at Balaklava to set fire tothe town, in which case all the English powder and stores would have been destroyed, bas ordered off all the inhabitants to the neiguboring villages. The | port of Balaklava is #0 small that had the plot been carried out all the vessels in it would | have fallen 9 prey to the flames. The heights | to the rear of Balaklava are now mounted by = heavy battery of guns which sweep the whole plaim and render an attack in that direction out of the question. Further on, the roads have been destroyed, 0 that before Balaklava can be menaced, they must undergo repair. The marines have: charge of the heights on which the batte:y has been erected; aad in case of need both the French and Turkish divi sions, to the rear of the English, could be detached to their sasistance.

Napier and Dundas are, however, deol dedly out of favor, and hits are made at their want of energy in all the farces at the theatres. ‘The great political point of the day' still remains unsettled.
