Governor Clark remains firm, standing on the platform which he planted on the last day of the session. Although he is preesed on every side, and by all sorts and manaer of lobby intrigues, he refuses to call an extra sonsion of the Legislature, and shakes off their ‘mportuni:ies with a Jackson hersism. There are several mempers «f the Legisiavure lurking still about the eapitel, flattering themselves with the hope, and indulging in the expects- tion, that the Governor wiil issue his proclamation for a special serrion. The great and all-controling Mygnus baa been invoked, whose potency was supposed to be ali- powerfu!, and whore lobby interests are greater than apy one else. Even he cannot, with either threateaiags, devices or otner menaces, move the Governor frow the stand he has taken. Indeed, after having extidited such an independence, having thrown himself in the breach between the people’s treasury and the artful knaves insite and outside the Legislature, it would be « a'al step now to surrender to the villanous host, or oa- pitulate to the unprincipied combination who had lsid their plavs for bankrupting the treasury. Oaily ant hourly the Governor receives the plaudits of the peopls for withrtanding the looby influeuce. The great masses, who scarcely know anything at all concerning the in- rigues constantly practised at this capital, have learned tbat corruption, vice and putrescence hand in hand, are bevetting the Governor on every side; bu: {ar reslaied them. the people are b ging preying that he never will yield a treating and recall the cabal to- fie » He will vespect that mighty public semtiment. le wil obey ¥hat he now knows 1s the popuiar will. Weare in the midst of an excitement in relation to our forth coming Mayor. Instead of subsiting sine» the election, it cn the increase, The principal candidetes were Ely Perry on the Know Nothing side, aud Doewor Quackenbush, democoat, both geatlewen well quaiified for the station. At a meeting of the Common Counsil on Tuerday evenicg, that body, in accordance to provisions of law and charter, proseeded to de- clare the fpersons eecied to the various of- fices at ‘he election stx oays previous. Remonstrances and affidavits were presented, purportiag to give the rea- sons why tbe returns from the Bevesta ward, and one of the districts iu toe Exghtn ward should aot be received and capvwsed by the Common Council. These papers alleged that various frauds had been committed both in a)lowmg votes to be deposited, and in the wanner of can. vassi g after the polls were clored. A very anuma:ed discussion ensues. waich continued until four o’el ek on Weenescsy morn ng. Toe stroggle was severe, as the result involved the election of Mayor; no other question as to Rec rder or Alce-men arose. It the returas trom these wards were received and allowed. the Doctor would be elec’ed by some ten or fifteen votes; if throwa out, Mr. Perry would receive the certificate by several han- dred. ye ques'ion was finally taken. when the Common Conneit, by # mejori y ot five or six, decided that the ailegec ‘frauds had been committed, thereby vitiating those returat, and deciared Eli Perry elected and gave him a certificate to that effect. The general impression prevails, that it the democrats intend to oust Perry, the courts must be appealed to; but tre leading de- mocraix deciare tha: they intend to pursue a more summary course. Tney aliege that the pre- sent board, in not receiving the canvass of the wards where frauds are alleged, have rot complied with lew, ard toat on the sescnd Tuerday in May, when the new board, which will be democracic, comes into power; then the matter wiil be reviewed and the rejecied canvass allowec, which will ive Qusckenbush ssmall majority, and they will grant im & certificate, and he will immediately take tne oath Of offich and aseame the reins of che ctty government.

Another man was fatally injured. ‘A large rew frame building, all the propsrty of two enterprising yourg men, was literally torn to pieces. At Demascus, on the Obio and Pennsylvania road, a man was ki led, and cot less than twenty-five trees were blown upon the track between Salem ano Alliance. Upon the Cleveland and Zanesville roa, between Mil- lersburg anc Akron, a tree ‘e!l across a train, disconnect- ing the cars, and at the came time trees fell at elther end of the wai, fairly bemming it in.

WIGHT THOUSAND ACRES TO BE DISPOSED OF—A CHANCE FOR SPECULATORS. (From the Buffalo txyrese, April 11.] ‘The farm, consisting of about 8,008 acres. now occupied by the German Society, known as the ‘Evenezer Settle- ment,’ four mies eart of this city, 1# about to be sold, the members having purchased « large traci ef iand in Iowa. Peter Emaiey, Esq., is now engaged in surve these lancs into farms of fifty acres. and stil emalier lots of from five to twenty acres. When the surveys sball have been completed aud maps prepared, they will ve offere- st putlic auction. The sale of so large a tract of Jano es eight thousand acres, in the immediate vicini'y of Buffalo, isan important matter in every t to the exty. Although now cecupied bya class of men in- dustrious in hab! * and a A roger of agricul ‘ural procucts an well as manufactures, the change, when made, will be more beneficial to the citizens of this city than it now is. The probability that the lands will be sold to those who may wish to vecupy them, ensures a mucb larger population, ano instead of a community of families, we shal have five hundred or more, indepen- dent of any ssscetation other than that common among free and independent eitizens. Five hundred families would furni ® popustion of et least three thousand persons, or two thousand more than now ocsupy the lands. These lends, when pur- chased by Mr. Myers, the head man of the association, cort ten dovlare per sere, and there is 20 unproduc- tive or waste land on the entire tract. They heve riven to @ meh bi price—some of them it is supposed wili bring, at pudlic auction, two huntred and fifty dol- jars the acre, and nove of them are valued less than thirty or forty doilars. The great increase in their value, it ls supposed is tke inducemest to sell and purchase cheaper lends at the West.

We got over Fast Day very well, and there was less of sin committed on that pious occasion than it is usual te have to record. There was not a murder—not one of any consequence, I am sure—committed. This is o euflicient answer to those who talk about modern dege- neracy. Many powerful sermons were preached, and the “sevil was so very scientifically’ pitched into, that I suppose he felt as bad as if he were having, or had had, @ bouiday of his own. The war about the vote of our delegates in the Cincin- pati Convention bas already commenced. A member of the lest State Convention wrote a communication against the plan of unity {a voting, and sent it to the cst tor publication. That paper refused to publish it, enc tt was inserted in the Daily Advertiser. The writer taker ground against the position that the State Conven- yo could bind the district delegates to vote as it might and we shall see if there is spirit enough left smcug the cemoerats to support him. A prominent democrat says that the vote of the Massa- chusetts delegation in the Cincinnati Convention will be # unit, ania unit in behalf of Pierce, which will perhaps turn it intoa cypher. Mr. Buchanan does not stand so well as he did in pubile opinion here, and this is perhaps the case all over the country, and I am sorry forit, The feeling was atone time so strong in his favor among our demcerats that I thought the unit would be in his behalf; but such now is not the inference that 1 likely to be ¢rawn from the facts by a well informed observer. Tae more ’s the pity; fer if we are to have « continuance of the demooratic ascendancy, we ougtt to have the best man of their crowd at the head of affairs. I see that you think the Boston Post’s real reason ‘or wishing the no- mication ot Pierce is to be found in the fact that its eci- tor hi las the place of Nava) Officer.

The appoimtment is commended by eli who have an interest fm it, avd it must be aliowed that the Governor shows a good desl of sense in many of his selectins for pubis offices.

Mr. Daxiel J. Coburn bas been appointed Chief of Police in Boston. This appointment is much commerdes.

It iss work complete in itarlf, and, openi with tl bdication of Charies V, it clones wich the deat ef William the Shient, so that it does not cover quite thirty years of time.” The author goes cver ® portion of the same ground that is travelled by Mr. Prescott, but treats hie subject more minutely than it is possible for the Jatier toce. So Mr. Prescott’s with Mr. Motley’s bears precisely the vame relation that the former does to a general history of the Spanish empire. Mr. Motley gives ample evidence ef berg not only » wan ot vast learning in bie epeeiaity, but also of hia being possersed ef very high talents ass historical writer the merrerin which Amerieans have taken to this branch of literature, we shall probably distance all c mpetivers.
