MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION. The election takes place in Massachusetts to-day, when a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, members ‘of Congress, State Senators, town representatives, and a variety of other officers, are to be chosen. ‘Dhe politics of Massachusetts are such a tangled ‘web that we can form no calculation or estima‘e as to the probable result. Aninteresting letter from our correepondent in Boston, in relation to parties and candidates, will be found in our paper to-day. AFPATRS IN WILLIAMSBURG.

LATER FROM EUROPE. By the arrival of the steamship Atlantic at this port, we have four days later intelligence from Europe. The news which she brings from the sea‘ Of war, although interesting, contains nothing de- eisive as regards the probable fate of Sebastopol. The details which we have received respecting the progreas of the siege oporations are gathered from plications of the late election, have very natu- qo sources—the Russian as well as the French of fieial organs. We have additional particulars sup plied by private letters, on which experience has taught us to place but little reliance. The Rassian accounts, although admitting serious losses, tell on ‘the whole rather unfavorably for the allies. This, of eouree, is to be expected from the adverse side; but %# must at the same time, in fairness be added that ‘the Rassian reports have, generally speaking, prov ‘@ more correct than those of the coalition.

The affair as it stands, it must be admitted, is a very ticklish one, and it assumes additional importance from the fact that our ministers at London and Paris have endorsed Mr. Soulé’s conduct. We do not apprehend, however, that anything very alarming will come of it in the end. The cabinet at Washington is but too glad to find a puetext for abandoning its agents to the consequences of their own indiscretions. It will unserupulously sacrifice Mr. Soulé, as it sacrificed Captain Hollins, provided the French government is disposed to offer any plausible defence of its conduct towardshim.

Op ‘the night of the 20th, Prince Menschikoff states that he damage caused to the fortifications was trifling. that the fire of the besiegers was returned with smuccess, that the fire of the enemies’ ships had not deen renewed, and that a part of the reserve had arrived, the remainder being on its way. A despatch weceived by the Russian embassy at Vienna con- firms this statement, and a letter from Odessa, Gated the 25th of October, affirms that up to fhe 23d nothing decisive had occurred. Between there conflicting statements we are justified in con- oluding that the siege operations thus far have made ‘Dat little progress. According to a Rassian official despatch published 4a the Kreuz Zeitung, the sortie stated in our pre- vious advices to have been made by the Ruasians, proved most successful—a French battery of eleven guns and eight mortars having been destroyed. Lord Dunkellin, eldest son of tne Marquis of Clan- sicarde, was taken prisoner by the Russians. A good deal of mystery seem: to attach to the ‘Movements of the Rassian Generals despatched to the relief of Menschikoff. They are believed to be in ‘the Crimes, but nothing is known of their where- gone over to the Know Nothings and their man Pllman; and from the falling off in the whig yote, it was just as plain that the mass of the Know Nothings themselves were from the whig camp, and that the ‘silver ‘grays or anti-Seward whigs had joined them upon Ullman. The vote for Seymour, ex- ceeding by thirty or forty thousand the vote of the administration soft shell party last year, is explained by the Maine Liquor law, and by the concentration upon him of men of all parties and factions with whom the liquor question and the defeat of said law was the all- absorbing issue. And 80 vice versa of the vote for Clark. But the most curious feature of all these co- alitions and combinations is in the fact that while the vote between Clark and Seymour is very close, the Seward-Clark coalition have al- most swept the State for the Assembly. And the secret of this contrast is furnished in the little extract which we give elsewhere in these columns, from the Albany Register.

The principle that a man is bound to pro- tect his fellow citizens from injuries likely to be occasioned by his business, is clear and undoubt- ed. If aman sets up a scaffolding in astreet, itis not enough that he build it substantially; he must absolutely guarantee passers-by against all risk of its falling, and in case of ac- cidents through his omission to do this, he is responsible. The loose slipshod way in which many of our laws are administered in this State has led to an entire forgetfulness of this great principle om the part of juries and law officers. Ferry companies are not held respon- sible—as they should be—for deaths occasioned by imprudent acts of passengers, though such deaths might have been preveated by proper precautions on the part of the ferry masters. So, railroads are acquitted of blame when their ears run over men, if they can show that the conductor and engineer were not on that occa- sion more imprudent than usual. All this is utter fallacy. A ferry company is bound to provide against injuries arising from imprudence on the part of passengers. A railroad company is bound to guard against ] the destruction of life on its track, though thove who are killed were themselves guilty of impradence and the company apparently inno- cent of negligence. The degree of vigilance and precaution hich the common law expects of individuals and corporate bodies isin exact proportion to their power to injure : in every cage of accident, no excuse should be allowed to be valid but ome which should establish that the degree of precaution taken was sufficient to jesars.
