FasGant Equeernta HYMN ARTIC ENTERTAINMENTS. New York, Thursday, November 4, 1858, a The News. We returns of Tuesday's elections pour in upon us like a flood, and again a large portion of ou pace is devoted to the details and results of the tontest. z In New York the republicans have carried their Hate ticket hy probably twenty thousand majority, Yected twenty-seven or twenty-eight of the thirty chree members of the next Congress, and have re- tarned a Jarge majority to the Assembly. Both branches of the next Legislature will thus be largely republican. In the city, however, as stated yesterday, all the democratic nominees for county offices have been elected, together with four of the six Congressmen, and cleven of the seventeen members of Assembly. It is said that Mr. William- son will contest the election of Mr. Sickles to Con- gress from the Third district. The result in Mlinois is not yet known. The telegraphic returns, in view of the interest in the election in that Siate, are very unsatisfactory and confused, There sre two democratic tickets, yet the telegraphic returns make no distinction. Ac- cording toa despatch received by Douglas’ friends in Philadelphia, he has triumphed. It may be however, that with the members who hold over, he hav sueceeded in saving the Senate, but has lost the House. ii this be so, the election of United Btates Senat’r may go over till another Legislature is chosen. It is not unlikely that the republicans have elected ll but one of the Congressional dele- gation In New Jersey the republicans have chosen a full delegation to the next Congress, though some sanguine democrats think there is a chance that Mr. Huy'er, demociat, has defeated his opponent in the Fourth dis The republicans Lave elected all their candidates for State officers and Congress in Massachusetts, and the same remark will apply to Wisconsin. ‘The returns from Michigan are meagre and un- fatisfactory, but beyond doubt the republicans have maintained their ascendancy. A comparison of the representatives in the pre ongress with those elected so far is as fol lows: — - z|—- - fe + 1 8 6 3 8 2 - 2 6 = 6 1 5 _ u al n 2 8 a pba 6 6 10 4 2 - 6} = 3 - 3 2 2 3 ej—] 6 oi = 6 a 38 | luv © ern thus far Koow Nov ge elected in Missouri not enamerate above Twe fy the Yesterday te miner found t the Comr « rand Jury of the Oyer and Ter its against sixty-one members of ©) for misdemeanor in violating the city char woose names will be found in oor report of the } They will appear be fore Judge * the Oyer and Torminer thix morning t r their appearance for trial.

There not being present a quoram to proceed to business, the President adjourned the meeting to Tuesday next. The Board of Education were obliged to ad- journ last evening without doing business, for want of @ quorum, An interesting account of the loss of the British bark Claude, and eight lives, including the captain’ wife, and the resue of the survivors by the ship Isaac Bell, Capt. Johnston, which arrived here yes. terday, is given another column, Accounts from Port Spain, Trinidad, to the 19th wt., represent the island as healthy and business active. The crops of sugar, coffee, cotton, hemp andcorn have been the largest ever known. A railroad, with two extensive branches, was being made, which would greutly facilitate the transit of produce from all points of the interior. Rain had fallen in abundance, affording a full supply of water. The growing crops looked well, and the whole of the next crop of sugar was contracted for by two hovses—one in Liverpool and the other in Dublin. The sales of cotton'yesterday embraced about 3,800 Dales, including about 2,100 in transit, 1,400, toarrive, and the remainder on the spot. The market was still heavy, closing at about 110. a 1c, for middling to good widdling uplands, wih some lots of straight mid. dings at 11%.

The Late Elections=The Next Congress=W. 11, Seward and his Disunion Manifesto. So far as the next Congress is concerned, that which was rendered nearly certain by the Oc- tober elections in Pennsylvania, Olio, Iadiana and Towa, has been decisively settled by the elections of November in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Mlinois and Michigan, in fa- vor of an anti-administration majority in the House of Representatives. This fixed fact. in connection with the election of Morgan as Governor of New York, upon the radical and warlike abolition Rochester manifesto of W. H. Seward, is suggestive (unless it shall be cast overboard) of an agitation of the slavery ques- tion, North and South, the most embittered in its character, the most mischievous in its tenden- cies, political, commercial and social, and the most disastrous in ite results of any sectional disturbance in the history of this country. Emboldened by the republican successes of October, Mr. Seward doubtless believed that the time had arrived when he could safely throw off the mask, and flatly declare his ruling idea to be incessant, uncompromising and exterminating hostility to the Southern institution of slavery, asking no quarter and giving none, un- til the issue shall be decided in one way, by the abolition of slavery in every Southern State, or on the other side, in the establishment of slavery in all the Northern States. Let this proclamation be adopted as the platform of the republican party of the North, and the result must be either the speedy defeat and dissolution of that party, or a Northern rule of anti-slavery coercion, from which the Southern States will be compelled to look for safety in their withdrawal from the Union and in the establishment of a separate Southern confederacy, peace or war. Believing that the conservative masses of the North will recoil from this latter alternative, we anticipate that, in the event of the adhesion of the republican party to Seward the first resalt will be the disintegration and ignominious over throw of that party. This is pretty clearly iadi- cated in the dismal howls of Greeley over the veneral results of our late city elections. Hear bim:— This city did badly—worse than we expected. Beside the stampede y noted of the democratic Kuow Nothings to Parker, a knaviah clamor was raised on the eve of fe cection by & Swiss press against Gov. Seward = late epeech at Pochs * revolutionary and disunionist, hy which a good many were frightened into voting for Varker or not woting at all. Our loss from this source ix considerable “Our loss from this source was considerable.’ Was it? We fully believe it, and believe that had Mr. Seward issued his Rochester instructions # month, oreven a fortnight earlier than the day The “considerable loss and his representative, Morgan, eaf- fered in the brief interval of a few days in con- sequence of this treasonable Rochester procla- ration fully justifies the opinion that in this ex- periment be has committed an act of political suicide upon himself or bis party. There are thousands of men in the republican camp who believe in the power and the duty of Congress to stop the exteusion of slavery into the Territories, and tens of thousands who be- lieve in the territorial) doctrine of “popular #0- vereignty,” who will shrink with patriotic alarm from this Rochester pronunciamiento, proclaiming a war of extermination against slavery in the Southern States, with whose domestic concerns we have no constitutional nor moral right to in- terfere. What thea’ This disorganizing and trai- torous abolition agitator must be cast off, or the republican party of the North will suffer in 1360 ® more disastrous defeat than this man Seward and bis abolition abominations brought upon Gen. Scott in 1862. But since that disastrous election Gen. Seoit hax ceased to t Jentified with the fortunes of Seward, The old chief stands before the coun- try detached from any party organization, a ua- tional, conservative, popular patriot. He is just ' the sort of man required to fase the opposition clement: of the North and the South into an over- whelming inovement like that of 1849, upon the practical exigencies of the times, ignoring (he suppression of slavery and the extension of slave- ry. 8 issues which will quietly settle them- selves in the of events. The State ot New York has virtually respoad- ed ia favor of Seward; Wut the healthy reaction from bis atrocions Rochester sneceh, which a few days suffieed to bring about in this cite, stands out to this over-sanguine demagognue in the hold reliet of (he handwriting on the wall. fe must be cast off by his party, or with bis party he will he cast out by an indignant people. Neither thie then nor his party can ever reach ihe Presidency upon an aboliuon programme which lows di- retly to sectional strife, d'eunion, revolution, ovarchy, and the bayonet system of elections pe coliar to Mexico and the fighting States wud fue- (ions of South America, atural oder New Jensey.—Lecompton, it appeare, has setiled the business for New Jersey, tho opposi tion, upon that hue-and-ery, having mmde a pretty Clean eweep of the State, The Decline of the Drama-Retirement of | Mr. Forrest, Tt is rumored in theatrical circles and freely stated in the public journals that it is the inten- tion of Mr. Edwin Forrest to retire altogether from the pureuit of the actor’s vocation, and that if he shall appear again before the public it wil! be as a lecturer upon or a professor of clooution. | ‘The retirement of an actor who has held so pro- ‘minent a place before the public as that which . Forrest bas filled is an eveat of no small im- ce in the art world. Still, it is one which | might have been expected. The truth is that the old love for the theatre and for what is called the legitimate drama has pretty nearly died ont, both in the United States and in Europe. Shaks- pere, now-a-days, belongs rather to the brary fan to the stage, and the dramatists who pre- ceded him are rarely heard of before the foot- lighta. Atrare intervals some aspiring youth may attempt the elaboration of Sir Giles Overreach for the delectation of a select circle of antiquarians, but the invariable inditfer- ence of the paying public, and the inevitable poverty of theatrical heroes, cause these essays to be after the manner of angel’s visits, few and far between. The public, in fact, prefer just now to laugh with Thalia rather than to weep with Melpomone. The operais the fashionable amuse- ment of the day; and next to that, English com- edy, farce, burlesque, or the modern style of serio-comic drama, which the English and Amer- ican play writers have clumsily imitated from the French. As there is no demand for tragedy, there is of course no supply. We do not know ofa theatrical company, cither here or in Hog- land, that is capable of giving a good represen- tation of any work in the British classic drama, which, according to Ben Jouson, “did so tu Eliza and our James.” Where we find one act like Mr. Forrest or the elder Wallack, we @ cover “fifty robustious, periwig-pated fellows,” whe have not the slightest idea apropos to the details of their art. The old school of art- actors has vanished. It is not our purpose to discuss the question as to whether or not we should have been benefitted had they remained with us, or had their places been properly filled by the young men of the present day. The fact that they have disappeared, and that their rem- placants have not appeared as yet, is quite sufti- cient. Mr. Forrest ldmself retires, perhaps, for the reason that there is no theatre in New York where he can be properly supported. He has wealth in abundance, and has drunk the cup of fame to the dregs. No actor since Shakspere’s day has received more adulation on the one hand, or more abuse on the other, than Mr. For- rest. No hero of the sock and buskin has en- joyed a more uninterrupted series of triumphs than he. For thirty-two years he has been the prime favorite with the play-going public, and, with but a limited repertoire, he has preserved a hold upon their affections cqual to that which has been enjoyed by the most brilliant lights in the histrionie world. Gar- rick, who was especially favored by fortune, aud who was a manager as well as an author and actor, retired after thirty-five years of theatrical life. Macklin, who died a centenarian, acted during sixty-four years; Talma was Emperor of the Theatre Francais thirty-five years. Edmund Kean died in the harness after a carcer of twenty years, Macready retired thirty-six years after he made his débit upon the London boards, Booth was thirty years before the public, and Wallack, who is now conducting the affairs of his theatre in this city with all the vigor of middle life, made his first appearance in London fifty- two years ago. Of all the foregoing, only Talma, Forrest, Booth and Kean have pursued their art without intermission for any cause whatsoever. Some of them have been authors or managers, others have retired from the stage for several years, and have been seduced to return by the odor of the lamps, the sweeiest perfume for artistic olfactorics, Forrest is the ouly sur- vivor of the quartetie we have last mentioned, and when he retires there is no one to replace him. The same dearth of tragedians has been experienced in England, and since the days of Rachel people only visit the Theatre Franghis—as they went twenty-five years ago— either as a good place for a lounge, omas a capi- tal {orale for a post prandial nap. We are quite well aware that in Loudon Mr. Charles Kean has revived certain Shaksperian pico». and that the ensemble is very good; but that is all. The act- ing is barely mediocre. The attraction of Mr. Kean’s Shaksperian revivals is in the work of the tailors and the ecene painters, rather than in the brains of the actors. In France, since (he Italian drama, with Ristori and Salvini, the muse of tragedy wears short petticoats and conrts Terpsichore in plays which are called pieces des Semmes, but which should be termed pieces des jombes, The world of the greenrvom has just now fallen upon one of those pauses in the history of the stage where some great author or grand artist is needed to awaken the public interest in the classic drama. We have no doubt that Mr. Forrest sees this inanity on the part of the cultivated public, and does not, therefore, feel that it is proper for him to prop a declining drama. He might have the largest theatrical career of any of the great actors, as he has barely turned fifty, and has a frame of iron, wit) nerves of steel. He is ee sentially au American actor, and as taoronghly one of us as Macready was entirely British. Neither of them ever attained that perfection of art reached by Rachel and Ristori, and became cosmupolitan. Still, {t cannot be denied to Mr. Forrest that thie chronic natioaslity of his is a rend thing. His styl iv massive as our moun- sins, broad o our prairi., grand aa the rolling of our mighty waters, Inaccuracioa there ‘re, as there must be in every ragged londecape; but some of these which are r jected by the strict carons of art as absurd, are, with the masses of the people, the es pecial beautios of Mr. Forrest's acting. Joined with the greatest ; hysical requ! ites, he has heen n hard student, and ppiied the wealth of on intellect at once vigorous ead wente bo the io- vestigation of the disputed potuts of the Shaka perean drama. Mr. forrest fs entirely 4 eelfedue cated man, isolated ina greu degree from society and, for reasons which hardly need to be men- tioned. has never received irom the'whole public that recognition which he deserves, The majo- rity har boiled him for over thirty years as the firet of American actore and previous to his re- tirement he ebonld Have aunaninous and entha- elastic farewell ovation accordcd to him by the whole public. Mr. Forrest should not leave the stage without giving 9 ecries of representations of the choice plays in his reperiory. He is the last tf the Titanic school of artiets, and in the bold, original individuality of bis etyie has defied imi- tation and distanced rivalry. He leaves the tiogic boards without a successor to bis aaantle. Avvaiss iN bisxico.—The position of Mexico is becoming daily more complicated and more critical, and those who have the deepest interest in studying the course of events there hardly know what to look for, or even what to hope. A few weeks since the constitutional party was confident of obtaining an early triumph. Now the defeat of Vidaurri destroys that hope, and renders possible the tall of Vera Cruz. This re- sult would by no means restore peace to the country, Itwould only prolong the conflict that already shows signs of degenerating into a war of races, 98 will be seen by the letters from seve- ral of our correspondeuts published in another column, But there are grever events gathering round the expiring netionality of Mexico than those which appertain only to her own internal condi- tion, Several foreign governments bave just claims upen her for the spoliation of their citizens; conventions for partial payments have been made with several of the European Powers, aad their stipulations broken; the foreign holders of Mexican bonds are clamoring for protection to their own authorities; aud the course towards foreign residents of each of the parties claiming to be the legitimate government of the country has been an utter violation of acknowledged nternational obligations. While Zuloaga and Miramon have committed numerous outrages upou Americans and English, Garza and other constitutionalists have behaved in the same man- ner towards the Spaniards. In most instances these attacks have been directed against the merchants, because this is the class which usually possesses the most ready cash, and thisis the only resource of the combatants to supply the exhausted revenue. This state of things is likely to bring about some action on the part of foreign governments, As our quarrel is with the Zuloaga government and it has no coast possessions, we cannot make a naval demonstration, With Spain, the reverse is the case. Her quarrel is with the constitution- alists, and they have possession of the Gnit ports. She has abundant reason to preceed with activity agaiust (hem. Garza and Vidaurri have both acted with extreme violence against the persons and interests of the Spanish residents in Mexico, Juarez has insulted Spain by re-ap- pointing to Madrid Lafragua, the obnoxious Minister sent by President Comonfort; Garza has robbed, imprisoned, and caused to fly the Spanish Consul at Tampico; the Spanish Conven- tion remains unsettled; and many other minor causes of complaint exist. Under these circumstances Spain has ample justification for taking immediate and practical steps. She has sent the Berenguela with a large body of mariues to Tampico, and we may soon hear the report of ber guns in that quarter. In case she does take some active method of protecting the rights of her subjects, what will be the result to Mexico? Will it result in se- curing VeraCruz and Tampico to Zuloaga? Will it bring about an entire change of the government in Mexico, aud instal Robles, who is now secreted there? Will Spain bring back Santa Anna? Will it rouse the Old hatred of the Spaniards in the Mexican bosom, ond give a short flicker of life to the expiring nationality of Mexico? Either of these events may take place, or it may be that the first gun fired by Spain will produce results that shall change the entire fuce of the western and southern shores of the Gulf of Mexico. But it seems to us that matters there are shaping themselves fur the return of Santa Anna. Spain cannot afford to go to war, nor does she desire to awaken a movement that would inevitably result in the loss of Cuba to her. She will menace and intrigue, and before many months we may, perhaps, see Santa Anna returuing to Mexico in the high capacity of mediator and saviour of his coundry froma foreign war. Faesu Txprerments AGatyst Tun Corporate Orvicv 1s—Tue Roman Carnonte Onrnan Asy- 1 vIn our law report will be found a copy of the indictment found by the Grand Jury of the Oyer and Terminer against ex-Mayor Wood and sixty members of the Common Council, for an alleged violation of the municipal charter, in the grant of land made to the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum. The concession, it will be re- collected, was made by a resolution directing the Comptroller to lease to the Asylum tie lands specified in the indictment at aa annual rent of one dollar, for such period as said lands thall be occupied for the use of the Asylum. The indictinent assumes that, under the provision of the charter requiring that no lease shall be given, save such as are required by the existing covenants of the Corporation, for a period longer than ten years, a misdemeanor has been com- mitted by the defendants. Vor this they are ac- cordingly to be placed on their trial. If the parties proceeded against have ex- ceeded their powers we are amongst the last to desire to screen them. We think that it is essen- tial to the correct administration of public affairs that persons in office shall be kept within the strict line of their duty. But whilst we mantain this principle, we are op- posed to all proceedings which are partial in their character, and which look as if they were intended to protect grave delinquencies at the expense of mere errors of judgment. With so many tangible cases of frand and peculation amongst our corporate officials, Ligh and low, to exercise their powers npon, is it not siugular that the Grand Jury should have fastened vpon a grant to a public charity, where there exist no suspicions of improper pecuniary motives, asa sulject for prosecution. It seems to us that the efiect of euch a proceeding will only be to bring ridicule and discredit upon their new born zeal for the public interests, The community will naturally be led to conclude that the investigations which have suggested these measures have been condeeted in a trifling and partial epirit, and the moral effect of the ex amples that may be made will be neutralized by this conviction of their one-ridedness. Tue Revit or 71m Conanesstoxsi Evac- ttoxs.—-In spite ofall the hue and ery against the adininisiration policy by the opposition journals, the result of the Congressional elections in this city and vicinity sustains in an eminent degree the course pursued by Mr. Bu- chanan. In the city only two opposition mem bers have been returned. The district now represented by Mr. Ward is one of thew, and that by Mr. Clark is the other. Mr. Ward only succeeded two years ago through a split in the opposition, which always had the district pre vionsly, This year the whole opposition vote wes concentrated upon Mr. Briggs, who was returned os a motter of course. In Clark's dis. trict there is little dowht that the Tammany leaders, with many officials, federal and corpora tion, conepired to put up a man in bad odor with the voters, in order to encompass the elee- tion of Clark, who was opealy supported by pretty west II literate ome of them. We find in Mr. Cochrane's istrict a very large majority for the ad- ministration candidate, and Barr, Sickles wd = Maclay, all administration leaders, have been cleeted in the face of the most violent efforts to the contrary. In Westchester, where there was a fair fight, we find Kemble, the ad- ministration candidate, returned over the slaugh- tered Haskin, who had all the republican and weak-backed democratic votes, and the assist- ance of Forney us well. The President may well be proud of this en- dorsement of his conservative and firm policy by ibe commercial metropolis of the Union. The city of New York is always sound when a teat comes, and it has endorsed triumphantly the foreign and domestic policy of Mr. Buchanan, Iuirxo1s,—From the scattering, disconnected and confused returns from Llinois, thus far, we can make out nothing, except that the adminis tration wing of the democracy, in all but a few localities, bas been absorbed tomewhere. If this should be the case, the fight has beea reduced to # square encounter between Donglas aud the op- position, and this, together with the stormy day, may possibly have resulted in a Legista- ture advantageous to Douglas. We await more definite returns.
