OUB SPECIAL HARTFORD DESPATCH. Hagrvorp, April 2, 1860. Hartford is this evening the soene of the most intense excitement. The city election passed off with tho usual ineldents, and, as a general thing, peaceably, only a fow wide awake charges and knock downs, owing to the vigi- lance and superior numbers of the democrats, having taken place. To-night the headquarters of the two partics are throng- ed with eager crowds waiting to hear tho returns. The democratic camp is also lighted up by gas within and bonfires without, and three or four thousand are present, cheering lustily at each announcement of a Sey- mour victory. The republieans are looking lagubriously, and concede that unless remarkable changes take place in the style in which the figures come in, they are beaten on the State ticket. Fifty-eight towns have been heard from, which give Seymour majorities of 8,179, Buckingham majorities of 1,819, Seymour’s majority over Buckingham is aocord ingly 1,860. Seymour’s gain in the above towns is 2,650; Buckingham’s gain is only 456. Seymeur’s net gain, 2,099. The largest Seymour majorities thus far reported are as follows:—New Haven, 709; gain over last year, 600. Hartford, 470; gain 461, Middletown, 295; gain 140. Portland, 279; gain 167. Bridgeport, 97; gain 161. Green- wich, 86; gain 41, Waterbury, 185; gain 49. ‘The largest Buckingham majorities are as follows:— Norwich (his residence), 147; loss from last year, 110. Farmington, 137; gain 24. Wethersfield, 85 ; gain 19. Saybrook, 105; loss 58. Windham, 96; gain 47. Nor- walk, 150; loss 73. Plymouth, 128; gain 58. The repub- ean gain is principally in the rural towns, while that of the democrats is in the manufacturing cities and towns. About ninety towns are yet to be heard from, which will probably diminish the majority of Seymour, and rea- der the result exceedingly doubtful. ‘The republicans have elected a majority of the House of Representatives, and it ie said, also, of the Senate. The latter report %, however, uncertain. The democrats gain two Senators from New Haven county. The vote of 1859 was about 70,500. The aggregate vote of the places thuefar heard from is already increased over that of last year 2,900 votes, The probable number of votes cast in the State, therefore, cannot be less than $4,000. All parts of the State will probably not be heard from and the precise result known before to-morrow af- ternoon. ADDITIONAL RETURNS, Hanrorp, April 3—2 A. M. Bartford, New Haven, Tolland, New London and Wind- ham counties give Buckingham 1,100 majority. The re- tarns of Middlesex, Fairfield and Litchfield counties will not vary the result a great deal. Bnckingham is elected without doubt, and both branches of the Legisiatare are republican by decided majorities, the House by a hand- some increase over last year, This result insures a re- publican United States Senator. It has been one of the herdest fought battles ever witnessed in this State. New Haves, April 3—2 4. M. Eighteen towns in Hartford county give 398 democratic Fairfield county, eight towns, 126 republican majority; it will probably be 200. Litohfield and Tolland counties gave 462 majority last year. The few returns now received show republican gains. Middlesex county gave 228 democratic majority last year, and now in seven ,towns the democrats gain 108, mostly in Middletown. The remaining seven towns, it is estimated, will make Seymour’s majority in the county 350. ‘The House is republican by nearly two-thirds. The Senate, by returns and estimates, stands 13 repub- licans to 8 democrats. If the towns to be heard from come in the same as last year, Buckingham, republican, will be elected by about 1,000 majority. THE EXCITEMENT IN WASHINGTON. Wasmcrox, April 2, 1860. ‘The greatest excitement prevails here to-night on the Connecticut election. The telegraph office has been filled all the evening with republicans and democrats to learn the result, and greater interest was never manifested at the close of a national election than has been as every despatch has been announced. - ‘The first intelligence was very favorable to the demo- crata, which made the anti-Dougias men swear, fearing that Douglas would claim the election and thereby secure his nomination st Charleston. Gradually the tide turned in favor of republicanism, and the swearing changed from anti-Douglas to the Douglas men, who considered the Lit- tle Giant’s stock below par. When the reports favored the democrats the republicans philosophized, declaring that if the State was lost it would teach the republicans to be prudent at Chicago. Miscellancous Items. Mme. de Brueys, widow of the admiral of that name, who commanded the French fleet, and was killed in the battle of the Nile, having learned in 1857, from inquiries which abe caused to be instituted, that the sole surviving members of her husband’s family were four children of his cousin de Brueys, that they were resid. jog at New Orleans, made a wil) by which she bequeath. ed 400,000f. to be divided equally between them, and in the event of their death, between their children or other heirs. Subsequently she was informed by one of the MM. ée Brueys, that only three, not four, of the children of Francois were living; but notwithstanding this she in a now will, made the 10th of bee 1858, left 100,000. to “each of the four” children of Francois, or to their re. spective children and heirs, and directed that if either of the ‘four’ should die without childrea, his legney should go in equal to tho other three, Mane. de Brueys'died ia March, 1860, Under the will, the three named residuary legatee of the deceased, contended that us only three pot four children of Francois were living when the will was made, they were only en- titled to 800,000f. An action was brough: to the children of her husband’s cousin were three or four. It accordingly to be paid to them. The Gazette of St Petersburg gives a curious account of ‘an experiment recently mace at the mint of that city for the purpose of ascertaining the comparative loss by ordi- nary wear of gold and silver coin. It appears, contrary to the generally received opinion, that gold wears away faster silver. The means employed were as follows:— ‘Twenty pounds of gold half-imperials, and ae much of sil- ver copecks—coins of about the same size—were pat into two new barrels, mounted like churns, which were kept turning for four hours continuously, It was then found, coins had lost 64 his nature have been executed h u ve H G recently to the amount of of Pregrets of the Strikes, MASS MESTING OF THE JOURNEYMEN HOSSEPAINTERS OF NEW YORK—GREAT ENTHUSLASH—BSPRECUES, RTC. A mass meeting of the journeymen howepainters of this city was beld at Military Hail, in the Jowery, near Spring street, last evening. Tae meeting came to order by the appointment of Mr, P. Keady to the chair. Mr. Luke Maguire acted as secretary, The Frosident, on taking the chair, stated the object for which the meeting had been called, viz: to ascertain the feelingof the house- painters of this city in regard to strike for two dollars per day, He read an advertisement from jhe morning HERALD, containing an announcement of the mecting ‘be held in Brooklyn of the housepainters of that place, and the statement was received with grost pe Boerg Upon asking whether any member of the Brooklyn asso. ciation was present, Mr. BaRkeR arose and stated that he had the pleasure of being connected with that body. He had come over to the present meeting for the purpose of hearing to what determination they would coms, and report thereon to his brethren in Brooklyn, He hoped those present would toke a firm stand in regard to the strike, and }he painters of Brooklyn would not hesitate to join the motement with a)) their heart. (Applause) The Presmext called for reports from those shops in which the required advance was given, and sixteen shops were mentioned. Mr. Mcltvaine was afraid that some of those who had Made these reports were not very strict in their adberence to the truth, because he well knew that, in one sho where it was reported the advance had been given, suc! was not the fact. He feared that the painters had been influenced by the bosses to give in their names at his meeting as having acceded to the demand. This nesertion was followed by a rather stormy time. The President eucceed: d in bringing them to order by in- troducing Mr. SoreRLaNp, who addressed the meeting in a short Speech fa which be showed the necessity of full remune- ration for labor. It was also necessary, he said, to have a vpion that would protect and defend the rights of labor, std be counselled those present to join heart and band in be movement for that purpose. A gentleman, @ cutter in « clothing establishment, fol- lowed. His name is suppressed by request. He said there was & war commencing between labor and capital. He had been opposed to strikes, because strikes never originated rightly, and consequently failed im their object. A grand movement was already eet on foot in this country for the beneilt of the righs of labor. He alluded to the Lynn strikes, and hoped that their noble example would be im- Hated, Although he belonged to a different trade from bose present, be took considerable toterest in their move- ment, inorcer that it might guide him in future. He hoped to see the various trades united, and one common \ink of feeling binding them ali together. They might then elect delegates to a grand national convention from all parts of the United States, where the grievances of each might be made known, and measures taken to secure redress. Such an association would bot Begs the more power from its being #0 ex- tended 8) er concluded his remarks witha few practical hints in regard to the ot of the great labor movement now on foot, and took seat amid great ap- plause. The initiation of mew members into the New York Practical House Painters Association was then proceeded with, after which the meeting was addressed by several *peakers until its adjournment, about ten o'clock, amid great enthusiasm, THE HOUSE PAINTERS OF BROOKLYN. A small number of the bouse painters of Brooklyn assembled last evening at Martin's Hotel, in Liberty street, for the purpose of forming an organization for mutual protection and assistance. Some two weeks ago they issued a call for 2 general strike, signed by over two hundred names. The call was well responded to, but they felt the need of some regular organization lt was accordingly determined to hold a meeting for the purpose of forming some such organiza- tion—the time and place to be maae known by advertise- ment. Owing toan unavoidabic delay in the insertion of the notice, the meeting held last evening was not 80 gene- rally known a6 would have otherwise been the case, which accounted for the comparatively small attendance. Mr. Wnuam H. Srantey explained at length the object appropriate name. It was would gradually extend itself so as to include all trades snd professions, each distinct in themse)ves, yet forming 8 grand whole, and acting as one man on any important igeue. After this explanation, those assemble’ proceeded to elect @ president, secretary and treasurer—their office to continue until the 16th of April. On ballotting, Mr. albert Van Nostrand was unanimously choseo President, Mr. ‘Wiliam H. Stanley sccretary, and Mr. Alfred J. Hodgson Treasurer. On motion, Albert Van Nostrand, alfrea J. Hodgson and William H. Stanley were appointed a com- mittee authorized to publish and circulate notices of @ general strike on the 16th of April. The demands of this strike were stated to be—two dollars a day, and a ceasa- tion of work at & P. digas hola er mecting some time It wes determined during the week, and a general meeting on Monday even- ing next, which an adjournment was carried. MEBTING OF THE BRICKLAYEBS OF NEW YORK. A meeting of the Bricklayers Society took place last night, Jor the purpose of receiving the reports from the boss builders in thia city, who had been notified a month since that it was the intention of the journeyman brick- layers to demand $2 per day on and after the 24 of April. There are about fifteen hundred bricklayers in this city, eleven hundred of whom are members of the Union. Tke meeting was called to order by Mr. Holt, Presicent of the Society; be said the odjeci of the meeting was, firat reports from the diferent bosses, and take such action as shall be deemed necessary to compel other bosses to come into their terma. Reports were then received from eighty-five of the boss bri thirty-five of whom are willing to give the advance de- manded—$2 per day. It was then moved and seconded that all the members of this society whose bosses have not given the advance demanded, do not go to work again until the advance is given. Mr. Trworuy Carpacu said this had been tho first strike of the bricklayers since they had been an organized body, and wished it to be conducted in a business like manner. When the men refused to work in the morning, one man of their body should be appointed to watch the buildings they bad been engaged on, and in case any man, not a member of the society,!should commence work on that Job, he should be warned to desist; but let no violence be ‘used, as it is beneath the dignity of this Union, and would injure our cause instead of advancing it. it was then unanimously resolved that at the meeting of the society on Thursday next, an assessment should be made for the support of those who are on the strike. Three cheers were then given for the press, and three for the bosves giving the advance. ‘The meeting then adjourned. MASS MEETING OF PIANO MAKERS—fYMPATHY AND AID FOR THE CABINET MAKERS ON STRIKE. About three weeks ago the cabinet makers of this city, the most of whom are Germans, declared a strike on account of the refusal of their employers to advance tho wages, which ranged from four to ten dollars per week—averaging about six dollare—from ten to twenty-five cents aday, Fifty-two shops acceded to this demand, and the men resumed work; but five large, and about fifteen or twenty smaller shops sill refuse the advance; and the bosses have formed a society, not only for their own interests, they say, but for those of their em- ployés, and bave resolved to close their shops until the men are willing to return to work at the old wages. In response to & call published in the German news- papers for # meeting of makers, many of whom are aiso Germans, to assist the men etill on strike, a large number of members of the Piano Makers’ Association, ‘and of others of the trade, crowded the Social Reform Hall, Grand etreet, lastevening. Mr. Frederich Gellmann, Presi dent of the association was elested Chairman; and Messrs. Reidle and “Hansen, in brief and eloquent speeches, stated the object of the meeting, and showing the com munity of interests which existed between men of all trades, urged those present to contribute to the support of Cet Fe cab peng ood were bro beer’ 4 adopted, expressing sympathy with strikers pledging each member of the association t> pay at least twenty five cents weekly, and as mach more as possible, for their support. A committee was appeinted te visit the shope of the iabo makers for contibutions, Meears. F. Gillmann, i Relnlander, Louis Schraid; F. Roland and T. Mayer, officers of the’ association who were elected yesterday, were orcered to receive the monty thus collected, and any that migat be hanced in. Mr. Seyimann, the Sccre- tary of the Cabinet makers’ Aesociation made an address, which was loudly applauded, staung the circumstances of the strike, and thanking the meeting for this substantial proof of sympathy.

The Red Sea Telegraph. LAYING THE SUBMARINE CABLE BETWEEN KURRACHES AND ADEN. (From the London Iijustrated News, March 17. ‘The equadron engaged in laying the submarine cable be- tyeun Burraabeo and sae —anaapaee’ her Majesty's ships Retribution, Commodore Edgell, Cyclops, len, with the screw eamahip Imporadar, Captain, Atkins. having on board Mr. Newuil, the contractor—being join- ed on the 12th of January last by the Imperatriz, Capt. Sharp, from Galle, began their operations. On the 13th of January the Imperador moved in shore, @ short dis- tance to the weatward of Minora Point, and, with the as- sistance of the boats from the Retribution and a party of her seamen to hau) the telegraph cable up the beach to the station bouge, the shore end was landed, and at two P. M. on Friday, notwithstanding the sailors’ superstition connected with the day, the great undertaking of upiting by almost immediate communication our valuable pone sions in the East with England was commenced. Im perador, with the cable, and Imperatriz, led by the Retri- dution, left Kurracnee, ana steamed along the coast of Beloochistan to Ras Gurwan, where the vessels anchored on a bank about ten miles off shore, while @ consultation was held as to tbe best route thence to Muscat, on ac- count of the great depth of water. Here the Lyeiexe Joined , having been despatched from Karrachee on 4th to run @ second line of soundings to Muscat, the result of which was rather disadvantageous to the laying of the cable, as the greatest depth ascertained this time reached ply 3,907 fathoms, or two nautical miles; therefore Mr. Newall, theowner, decided to take his course between the two lines of soundings, and the expedition started again at eight o'clock the folowing morning. From Ras Gawan to Mugcat the cable was most ily payed out at the rate of seven miles an hour; and tn the deepest water the strain was 80 great on the drumwheel, which had five turns of cable on it, that not a single spoke was sound when the Imperador anchored at Muscat at noon on the 17th, showing the risk thet attend these enormous outlays: of money. The shore end of the cable was landed at diliie Ailie, a emall cove between two hills at the weet end ‘of the town; and the boats from her Majesty’s ships Re- Tibuiion and Oyclope, and the Indian uavy men.of-war, Semiramis, Falkland, and Elphinstone, attended on the occagion, and gave three bearty cheers when the end was safely lodged in the station house. While at this anctor- age the squadron had a strong northerly breeze and a heavy sea running into the harbor, which obiged the Retribution to elip and put to sea. The Imperador, lying outerde, was partly sheltered from the wind and in tolera- by #mooth water, but, owing to the course of testing the cable to ensure perfection, they had not yet spliced the ebore end w the sea part, and the necessary veering of Abe ship's cable and letting go of stern hawsers ja a limited had drawn the shore end of the wire from the beach ; therefore a second procezsion of the boats of the men-of- ‘war took place at nine o'clock on Sunday evening, the 22d, and the cable was again placed in position, amidst a shower of rockets and firiog of guns and biue hghts from the Imperador and Imperatriz. At an interview with the Imaum of Muscat his Highness expreeeea himself well pleased with having the cavie landed in his dominions, also the benefits that they would der:ve from bemg ta immediate communication with Indy, ard that he would pay great attention to the safety of the Wire, aud regard it as part of bis own body. The Cyclops parte’ company on the 19th, taking Mr. Forde. civi) engineer, auached to the Red Sea Company, to Hillani, tor toe purpose of deciding whicn part of the islana was best euited for Janding the cable, and also to erect the bets in reasinees for the reception of the instru. ments and the electricians. All arrangements having been completed, aud the shore end of the cable for the next station landed, the Retribu- Von left Muscatat cayhght on the 24th, with the Impera- ‘triz this time paying ont the cable. After running about twenty mites cote along the Jand, the Imperatriz stopped on account of some siigbt defect in the cabic, and, after a series of tests and an experiment on eight miles more ca- dle without « satisfactory result, it -was resolved to cut the cable and return ejgh! miles on the line, when the bad part was cut ont and the end passed to the Imperador, which had joined the equadron from Mosca: to pick up. When the cable was spliced and the commupicauon pro- nounced perfect the lmperador returned to Muscat, and the expeaition again rtaried on their course to Hillani, where they anchored on the 29th. Aillant, one of the Kooria Mooria group, is a barren island, composed of granite and limestone, situated twenty miles south of the coast ot Arabia, and dietant 480 from Mugcat, and i a most desolate spot for any European ‘be stationed at.

Weed stands here as the great finauciai agent, the State collector of the party, and demands toil of aj) measures that are supposed to have money in them, and the side that pays the largest toll is gure to receive an order Weed to pase. Notwithstanding this is @ republican Legisiature, Weed’s orders have not at all times passed current here, Take, for instance, the Senate Gridiron bill. The Sena- tors acted as tol) gatherers themselves, and paid noatiea tion to Weed’s orders thet no railroads should pass but the six in the House, but rushed Law’s gridiron through, te the great astonisbment of Weea, who had received ‘nary red” tor the campaign fund. This caused a greut fluttering amongst the orthodox whig repubucané, a8 well as their MALY associates, who were about handing over the tolls for the etx gridirons of the House, and sup- posed that Weed’s order was good, not only in the locks of the Aseembly, but algo in the Senate and third houae, ‘This Napoleonic move of Law bas, it is said, reauced the campaign fund, which must be made up en something else, ‘The action of the Sepate was # sort of repudiation of the aupreme authority of the republican State Collector It being the iret attempt for repudiation this season, ad a matter of course wonderful how! was set up im every direction, und only was Filenoed by the summary dis. posal of the gridiron in the House.

You will therefore see that arrangements have been made to work the baiance of the session; and it is this baste that makes the dangerous, as those measures that would not bear ventila- tion have been quietly covered up until this time, for the express purpose of smnggling through. The Legislature, in the next two weeks, will do more harm in hasty tion than a dozen Legislatures will be able to undo. One of the most important features of this morning’s Seasion bas been the presentation of & lengthy communi- cation from the Attorney General upon the constitu- tionality of the repeal of the tonnage tax or tolis upon the Central Railroad, who gives ag bis Opinion, that the Legislature did not have the power to repeal it. The communication is a Jengtoy one, in which be reviews the ciflerent Jegal stepa taken in tnis ‘State in regardto her canals and railrosds, bat summed up the whole matter in the fact that when the State loaned her credit for the purpose of raising funds for the completion of whe public works she plouged ali ot ber canal revenue. This pledge was not only mace to the purchasers of bonds, but w the taxpayers, and ag the tolls on railroaae were part of the revenue thus pledged, the Legisiature, could not, in his opinion, repeal the act un- tiithe bonds bad been canceiled and the acby paid. He ‘was therefore of the opinion that the Conta) Railroad owed the Statc tolis upon all freight carried , the same that ‘Would have been collected if the law had not been re- pealed. This opinion of the Attorney General hight pleases the {rienas of tolung railroads, The ‘lolling Conference Committee have not come to any sgreement yet, although they have bad frequent sessions. At their meeting on Saturday evening they were tarther (rom agredment than at auy former period, and the best friends of the measure were about giving up the quesuon. They, however, met again this morning, and matters assuming ® more favorable auitude, con- nentea to have another meeting before reporting. There 18, however, but litile prospect of their agreeing upon any bill; their delays are only prolonging the agony of the friends of tolls, without apy prospect of their obtaining what they ask for. The {riends of tolls deciared, up w Saturday night, that they should secure the passage of a tw)l dill, Dut since that have given up ali hopes, until this mormng they have found one more gleam of light, which will doubtless vanish upon the first wouch. I, however, the opinion of the Atiorney General is correct, there ig bo need of a toil bill. The House Committee reported a large number of bills this morning, both from the standiag and seiect commit. tect—a few of imporwance, but mostly local county bills, forming road districts, insuring echoolhouses, &o. Among those reported complete anc ordered to a third reading is the railroad bill for South and West streews, waich now takes iis place with the rest; auzo a bil! to auchorize the Board of Supervisors of Kings county to build @ court- house, which was ordered to a wird reading. ‘The Aseembly read the third time and passed some six or seven bills this morning, three of them being the incor- poration of savings banks. The bill to provide for the completion of sections 20 and 21 of the Oswego caual was gito passed. ‘The Senate, among their work this morning, killed the regolutions for amending the constitution in regard to the judiciary. They also ordered an important bill to @ third Teading, which gives to the owners of steamboats who rent wharves full control over the wharves, and em- powers them to remove at all times all who may occupy said wharves. ‘A number of bilis were reported from the committees, but none of any importance.

(Correspondence of the New Orleans iva) une.} Ruatay, March 11, 1860. In my last communication to you from this, place I in- formed you of the exoitement which pmevailed here in reference to the treaty between Great Brian aod Hon- duras, by which the Bay Iélands are to be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the latter government. At that Period nothing definite was known regarding this ireaty, and implicit faith was not had fn the rumor. Sabsequent- ly, however, the inbabitanta of Ruatan have sausfed themeelves that such ».cbange is about to take place, and while they denounce it in stroug terms, affect to think that their interests will not be materially changed. But while they endeavor to appear but little apprehensive of any ill effects to themecives growing out of ihe ratifica. tion of this treaty, they are nevertheless filled with di saliefaction and . And, indeed, to one acquainted with Rutan aflain Gre not altogether without cause for alarm. it cannot be denied that the conduct of the colored portion of the inkabitants of this island, presum- ing on the protection which the British flag afforded them, has been overbearing and insolent to the Honduras - iarde with whom they bave had dealings, aud they have now but too good grounds to fear # day of retribution. Be- sides, it is weil known thatin many instances the lands they occupy were formerly grants issued by the Honduras gov- ernment, and those grants bave never been traagtar the original owners, consequently they fear for the safety of their property. There can be no doubt that after the ratification of the treaty, a long time will be occupied be- fore the affairs of Ruatan will be permauently settled. Ibe Ruatanians are securing @ stuck of arms and am- munition, in case of the worst,and talk londly about “shedding their last drop of blood,” “never sarrender- ing their rights,” and ‘fighting to the last,”” should Hon- duras “offer any nonsense.”’ In fact, the people here are jealous and apprehensive of the most trivial ciroam- ftances. An example of this occarred about tue time that the consprracy trial ended. A bungo (a emai! vessel) ar- rived at Port McDonald from one of the Honduras porte, Jouded with cocoanuts, ana paring. om board, as it hap- pened, the commandant of the p) from ‘lagi eh sailed. Asshe neared the port the excitement steadily . increased, and reached Its climax as she Bhe ‘was immediately boardea by a number of armed men, with the expectation of finding a party of invaderson board. How, after having satis emecives that the cocoa- nuts were pelther cannon bails nor bomb shells in die- guise, the retreat was called ani the dory retired in order; and how the gallant crew enjoyed a brilliant. which lasted the whole of one afternoop—perhaps some future bistorian of Ruatan may relate these deeds and duly chromele them. I returned afew days since from Utila. This ie the Most southerly of the Bay Islands, and ie in the closest proximky to the coast. Like Ruatan the soil is highly productive, and the trade Lies in its fruit. The inhabi- \entt are whites, without exception, ving on @ Itne of keys, #ix or eight in nutabor, inside of which and between the ieland is the harbor. The plintations are all on the main island. The inhabitants of Utilla are, , I consider, the most cxewplary claes of men I have ever seen—paiterns of morality, honest simpli- city and industry. They express very little apprehension Tegarding any tnfevorable results ariging from the treaty, ler inteqouree with the people on tue coast baving al- waye heen harmonious and friendly.
