The weather was equal to our finest days during ‘the Indian summer, and has no doubt had the effect of ‘bringing out a much larger vote, and a fuller expression of public opiniod, (yet crude,) than has been before elicited during the brief exetcise (by Fronchmen,) of universal suffrage, You are no doubi iarpatfent and cu- rious to know the result. It is, however, too soo after the election to form anything but a partial opinion, The depouillement of the vote of Paris takes place to day, and ‘the result will be publicly declared to-morrow at the Hotel de Ville—too la‘e, I fear, to insert Im my letter, which must be posted hy 3 P. M. On both days of the election I visited severs! of the sections where the votes were polled, and found the ¢rottoirs strewn with votes -déchire, bearing the names of Ledru Rollin and zene but very few with the nome of Louis Nepoleon. This circumstance, added to vihers, induces me to think that the latter has obtained a large majority in Pars, and that more of the ocialists have voted for Louls Napoleon Bonaparte than for their own candidates, Ledru Xollin and Raspail. ‘The few returns which have beon received from the environs of Paris show large majorities for Lonis Napolron Bonaparte, and if the ues from the de partments show the same results he will receive an a! solute majority, and thereby prevent the meceasity of an election by the National Assembly. Many of the Bon: partists wwear, if their candidate has received only » relative and not an absolute majority, ie which caso the National Assem)ly is almost sure to elect Cavaignac,) that they will preler civil war rather than submit to be gored by what they will con.ider a miaority Prosi- cent.

The annual railroad reporte to the Logislaturs of Mas- sachusette contain some facts worth being quoted. They are for the vine years commencing January 1, 1846, during which time 80,490,160 passengers were carried over our roads. The number of persons run over and killed, in consequence of their having walked or slept on the tracks, was 154, of which number 20 were killed on the Boston and Providence road, The employé killed numbered 171, of whom 46 were killed by coming in contact with bridges, and three by explosions of loco- motives, Of the passengers killed, almost one-half caused their own deaths by jumping from, or attempting to get upon, traina while they were in motion. For 1854 13,029,218; employés killed, 32—8 by coming in contact wich bridges; persons killed on the tracks while sleeping or walking, 20; by collisions, &c , 12; passengers killed, 1—8 by endeavoring to get upon trains while in motion, 8 by jumping from them under the same circumstances, | ‘and 1 by falling from the platform of a car.

A very important vote, but which haa excited little attention here, was givea in the House of Representa- tive on the 20th. ion was on concurring with endment of ths constitu- tioa which proposed to itute a district system for the election of Senators and Reprerentatives for the pre- seitwystem, which is based on counties and towas. A debate of some interest took place. Gentl nen declared that they would gladly vote to establish a district sys tem for the choice of Senators, bat that they were not prepared to abandon the syetem of town representation. An attempt was made to divide ths proposition, but this was properly ruled out of order. The motion to concur was then lost—yeas 144, and nays 112. Instead of get | ting the requisite two-thirds vote, there were bat few more than ove third of the members ready to support sition.

Mr. Wise in a State of Repore— His Campaigni and his Laurels—Policy of the Know Nothings—The Time and the Man—Late Town and City Blection Contests—The Viea Voce Voting System—Terror of the Loco Focos— Englishmen and other Foreigners im the Army and Nawy—Mr. Wise, Henry the Bighth, and the Sword in War and Peace. As T stated to you in my last letter, the redoubtable Knight of La Mancha is at presont reposing on his lau- rels, in Actowac. If his bed is stuffed with nothing else he must have rather a narrow couch. The soldier | has come from the wars, and he is covered with scara, but they are all of his own inflicting. In want of sume one else to cut and hack at, he bas cut and hacked at himself, and sadly disfigured his own image. He wax al” @ famous partiaan, doing more damage, however, to his own party than to any other. If the Know Nothings do not bring out a maa soon, there will not be enough of the democracy left in Vir- | giaia to make adecent fight. I cannot sufficiently ad mire the wisdom of these mysterious people, in deter mining not to bring out a candidate till a late hour in | the canvass. It is the true polioy. The Inter the better Aw long as they can put off the nomination, they will have the benefit of Wise's undivided energies, and keep their adversaries hanging on the tender hooks of sus- pense, solicitude and apprehension. They also have th: aid of those modest patrio’« who are always on the qu vive for “a good time coining.’? and who are resdy to serv’ their country in any capacity, expecially one of dignity and emelument. ‘Tbe hopes of these aspiring geutlomen ought by no means tobe nippediathe bad. Lot u give them them a fair chance to disport themselves ia the buoyant atmosphere of hope, When the time comes | it will bring with it the man, and upoa that question of | een ands the whole result of the canvass in Vir- | ginia. Ths locofocos are comforting themaelyca with the suranco—A sweet delusion though—that the vina voce ayatem of voting will prove certain death to Know No- thingism ia tie Old Dominion. They say that the pest lent beresy works welt enough in the States where the people vote by valiot, and can therefore vote aw they please, withost exposure or responsibility. They pay scorer pimpin Abo people of Virg*nin in supposing that they will be afiaid to speak out ther honeat senti- ments, And what shoula make them afraid? Is Wise going to put them to the ord oF to hang them up? Now, in deciding this ques- tiem, an ofnce of experience ix rth a pound of speculation, What has been the fact in thou portions of Virginia in which the Know Nethings have already appeared ax a party, and teated their strength at the ballot In Norfolk city, im Portamouth, where the navy yard is situated, aad whers jargor numbers of men are employed by the goverament ; in the city of | Wheeling, and in other plices in Virg thera have already bern elections in which the party linea we strictly drawn, in which demoo reepounibibty of rebelling against party dictation ; and, in Portsmouth, by their udependence, they were com- pelled to run the risk of losing their means of daily bread Avd what effect has the vind voce system had there? Why, to the r honor be it waid, the democrats in all these places bave acted like freemen havo gone to the polls with ® bold and fearless front, and have carried every thing betore them for the Koow Nothing ticket. Have we not a right to conclude then that, as in every oles tion which bas yet been held, the rina voce system has interpesed uo obstacle to the progress of the Know Nothings ¢ So it will be in the election for Governor, Will not the Tag tad of the country, who haf® no interests 0 have nothing to expect from the favors or to fear from the frowns of the government—prove an intrepid and patriotic as those whom tue government haa in ita power? but who, with # noble indepen tence, have retused to compromise their dignity as American free men by kissing the footstool of authority. The viva voce ballot is going to.acare nobody. Virginians do not ask the pr jon of the secret ballot. Wine's late speech in Richmond does not seem to have produced any particular sensation, He cannot rally the full strength of his party here. The Know Nothings listen to him, avd enjoy a quiet laugh to thamselven, | Never were the loco!ooos in auch terror. They fear that the aceptre ia about to depart from them forever, There ie no ceutral junta to stesr the ship row. The pilo their vessel are raw aad inexperi ‘The lea tor: however, will make superhuman exertions. No offo will be untried to whip in the disaffected and stir up the apathetic. The wireworkers of locofocoiam were aadl seared when General Harrison wax vhe opposition candl- date, they bad sour misgivings when General Taylor took the field, but this General Unknown has terrifea them more than all the other Generals put together ‘The strong American feeling of ths countey revolts at the manner in which our countrymen have been com polled to succumb to foreigners. fo our very naval ser vice—tbat rerview 4o juxtly dear to all Americans —brave American born seamen are compelled to serve under | petty and warrant officers of foreign birth, and who Tye SOG wane them upon the mightest prov. of upon no provocation at ail, ina style that is lated to make the bleod of an American boil, No der that native Americans do not like to enter the navy orthe army.

Our Provincial Parliament, after a recess of two months, reassembled yesterday to resume the business There was not a great number of mem. ad the House sat but for am hour, when it adjourned to meet again on Monday afternoon. Daring the sitting, however Sir Allan McNab entered into ex- piapationa relative to the alterations which had taken place in the Ministry during the adjournment. They were to the effect that Mr. Morin's declining health had determined him to withdraw from active political life; that the death of Judge Panst, and the resignation of Judge Roland, rendered alterations in the Judiciary pecessary, and tt bad beea deemed but an act of ju to offer Mr. Morin a judgeship; that his retirement broke up entirely the Lower Canadiana section of the Lovernment, and the duty of reconstruction had beca entrusted to Col.
