Elections for State officers took place yesterday in Pennsytvania, Ohio and Indiana. Tho greatest excitement prevailed throughout last evening»to ascertain the result of the contest in Pennsylvania. The returns that have reached us may be found under the appropriate head in another column. The steamship North Briton, which left Liver- pool on the 27th and Londonderry on the 23th ult., passed Father Point at six o'clock last evening. Her European dates are one day later than those we have yet published; but as the telegraph wires between St. Thomas and River da Loup were down last night, we were unable to receive her news. We received yesterday intelligence of the total loss of the steamship Connaught, of the Galway line, while on the passage from St, Johns, N. F., for Boston. In the account of the disaster which we publish it is stated that on the evening of | Haturday last, when abont one hundred and fifty | miles from Boston, the ship sprang aleak in the engine room, andin of every effort to keep | her free the leak gained so rapidly as to finally | extinguish the fires. On Bunday forenoon the vessel was also discov to be on fire. The flames spread rap d defied the exertions of the crew and passengers subdue them.

We have no produce on hand for shipment, and seek- ing craft will not find employment here until after the regular trading ships have been despatched in March next. All light American vessels go after salt to the various salt ports,as no other employ- ment offers. The quantity of produce exported the present season amounts to 43,563 hhds. sugar, 15,244 puncheons molasses, 623 puncheons rum, 112 bales cotton and 94 gor aloes. Horses, mules and oxen from Kentucl® and Buenos Ayres | are likely to pay well. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 2,600 bales, closing quite steady, but without quotable ch ange in Prices. Flour opened dull and heavy, but as the day ad- vanced the demand improved, and sales became more ac- tive, and prices closed with steadiness, Wheat was in good request and active, at full prices. Corn was steady but not very active. The sales embraced Western mixed at We. a Tle, and Western yellow at 150. & 6c. Pork was dul and sales limited, including new mess at $19 a $19 12}¢, and prime at $14 50. Sugars were quite steady, with sales of 80 hbds. 1,048 boxes and 286 bhds. melado, at rates given ia aa- other column. Coffee was firm, and sales were limited.

Pennsylvania has spoken. She is lost. Our returns are scanty, but, like the wound of Mer- entia, they will do. Here are the reported ma- jorities from seven counties, as compared with the republican estimates published in yester- day's Hersrp of what these counties would give, to wit:— Reported actual Republican results. estimates. | Alleghany 6,500 4,000 Lancaster 5,000 5,000 Schuylkill 800 600 Franklin. 600 Blair..... ° 800 Huntihgton....... 700 Brie. oo cie cee 2,000 Total. .. 16,850 13,700 Thus it will be perceived that in these seven counties the reported actual majorities for Curtin, the republican candidate for Governor, exceed, by three thousand, the estimates of the republicans upon which they footed up a ma- jority in the State of twenty thousand. On the other hand, it appears that Foster’s majority in Philadelphia, from the returns reported, is be- tween four and five thousand, which is some two or three thousand better than the repub- lican estimate. But, almost without an excep- tion, where the first reports of an important election indicate a decisive revolutionary re- sult in our political affairs, it is safe to conclude that the popular majority will be increased rather than diminished by the full returns. We shall therefore experience no surprise if the majority for Curtin in Pennsylvania should exceed fifteen, twenty, or even twenty- five thousand. At all events, enough is known to enable us to form a final opinion with re- gard to the vote of Pennsylvania in November. It will be Lincoln. The hopes of the conserva- tives now rest upon New York. They have a majority in this State against the revolutionary anti-slavery crusade of the republican party of at least fifty thousand. A few days will deter- mine whether it is to be mustered into a solid column, or frittered away. We have no satisfactory returns at hand from Ohio, Indiana, Iowa or Minnesota, at the time of closing these remarks; but, from the results in Pennsylvania, it is probable that the whole brunt of the battle now rests upon New York. Mx. Lixysay Berorr tar New York Caam- ber or Commerce.—Mr. Lindsay, the free lance in diplomacy, who has come over here from England to agitate the removal of sundry re- strictions on commerce, the opeuviag of our coasting trade and the abolition of the right of capture of private property at sea, addressed the Chamber of Commerce last evening, in a speech which will be found in another column. The speech reiterates the points of that he de- livered some days since in Boston, without the addition of any new matter—upon which we commented on a previous occasion. We can only repeat that Mr. Lindsay can achieve nothing here at this time of political excite- ment, but he may learn much. It is desirable that uniform rules shall be adopted for the guidance of navigation; but the opening of the coasting trade to foreign flags, and the aban- donment of our volunteer system of naval de- fence, we cannot concede, with safety to our- selves and justice to our national interests. His labors may do something towards awaken- ing our widely extended mercantile communi- ty to a uniformity of action regarding their in- teresta, from which good may flow. Barris Peevers on Tuerre Travers,—We have alrendy alluded to the fact that while the Prince of Wales has been journeying through North America, his “little brother” Alfred has been representing the home government at the | other end of the world. Like his grandfather, William the Fourth, the younger brother of the heir apparent has entered the British navy. He is now a jolly young midshipman, and, like the | celebrated Mr. Bowline, has become “the dar- ling of bis crew.’ At the last accounts, Prince Alfred's ship, the Euryalus, was at the Cape of Good Hope, and the mixed population of her | Majesty's African colomies were in a state of intense delight over their new sensation, as will be seen by some accounts of the Priace’s arri- val and reception which we publish elsewhere: Even the Dutch colonists proved themselves anythiog but “boors” when the Prince passed through their territory. They must have been considerably worked up, when they gave their authorities carte blanche to spend as much money as they thonght proper in the facilitation of the Prince's journey be- yond their frontier. All along the Prince's route be was feted and addreased exactly as his brother has been in Canada. Both of them have bad a dach at field sports, the elder shooting quails, portridges and prairie chickens on the Iilinois prairies, and the youoger bringing down bucks and bares on the Amsterdam flats, And at about the same time that Albert Pdward was engaged in opening the Victoria Bridge, Alfred was laying the foundation stone of the break- water and harbor works at Table Bay. There can be no doubt that these royal jour- neys bave a very beneficial effect. They strengthen the attachment of the colonists to the home geveroment, afford to slow communities a litle necessary excitement, and, more than all, cive to the Princes a knowledge of the world and of the populations they will hereafter govern, which they cannot obtain by aay other means. YEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1860.+TRIPLE SHEET. —' Loss of the Steamship Connaught. Jn another column will be found the details | of the burning of the steamship Connaught, one of the last constructed and finest vessels of the Galway line. From the statement of her cap- | tain, it appears that on the evening of Satur- day, the 6th inst., when about one hundred and | fifty miles east of Boston, she sprang aleak in the engine room. Notwithstanding the exer- | tions made to keep it below the fires, it began | towards morning to gain rapidly, and finally | extinguished them. About half-past nine A. M. on Sunday smoke was discovered issuing from the aft smoke hole, and the flames and water | jointly made such head that the passengers were driven on deck. It soon became evident that there were no hopes of saving the vessel, and preparations were accordingly made to aban- don her. Fortunately, the steamer was abun- | dantly provided with boats, and although the first launched was stove by the heavy sea which was running at the time, the remaining six were got off with the whole of the passengers and crew, 591 in number. A brig, the Minnie Schiffer, which had observed the steamer’s sig- nals of distress, bore down to them about noon, and by balf-past nine in the evening all the pas- sengers were safely placed on board of her. No opinion has as yet been offered as to the origin of the leak. Captain Leach is unable to explain how it occurred, the veseel being a new one, built of iron and divided into water-tight compartments. Her workmanship was of the best and most substantial description, and she was justly regarded as one of the finest vessels afloat. The discovery of fire so soon after the leak wae detected, and the rapid progress which the flames made after the alarm was given, supply to our mind a clear explanation of the whole accident. There can be no doubt that this no ble vessel owes her destruction to the same cause by which so many English steamers, amongst others the Royal William, have been lost, namely, spontaneous combustion. The soft English coal which is commonly used on board these steamers frequently ignites from the heat evolved in the decomposition of the eulphuret of iron which it contains. Even at the entrances of the pits the slack or refuse coals in which decomposition has been has- tened by the heaps being saturated with rain are frequently to be seen in combustion from this cause. If, as there is reason to believe from the statement of the captain, the fire had been emouldering in the coal bunks for some time, the expansion of the vessel’s plates by the heat unquestionably occasioned the leak. We do not see how in any other way such an acci- dent in a new and substantially built iron ves- eel could have occurred. As there is no calamity without some com- pensating benefit, there are two valuable leasons which the loss of this noble steamer will im- prees upon shipowners. The first is the culpa- bility of their sending their vessels to sea with- out a sufficient number of boats to provide for the safety of the passengers and crew in the event ofsbipwreck. In the present case, owing to the humane and liberal precautions of the Galway company, nearly six hundred beings were preserved from the certain death to which they would have been exposed had they been on board some of our American vessels under the same circum- stances. Our laws should be so framed as to leave no alternative on this point to ship- owners. No passenger, or, indeed, any other kind of vessel, should be allowed to leave our ports without passing an inspection which | would eatisfy the authorities that she was pro- | vided with the number of boats requisite to accommodate the full number of those on board. | In the next place, it is to be hoped that the | logs of this fine vessel will have the effect of impressing upon steamship companies the dan- gers resulting from the use of bituminous coal. As a general rule, no coal in which pyrites abound in covsiderable quantity should be employed at sea. There may be a disadvan- tage, both in point of economy and speed, in using other fuel, but humanity dictates that these considerations should exercise no weight where the safety of human life is concerned. Resiexation or Jevoe Prerreroxt—Re- marxanLe Letrer—-We publish in another column a remarkable letter addressed yester- day by Judge Pierrepont to Governor Morgan, resigning his office as Judge of the Superior Court, on the ground of the wretched accommo- dation afforded for a court room, while millions are expended in all sorts of extravagance and public plunder. “More than six years ago,” he observes, “the old City Hall was burned down, and the court took temporary refuge in the firemen’s lofts of an engine house. It bas been compelled to re- main there ever since.” Three years ago the bar Leld a meeting aud passed resolutions de- claring “the rooms unfit for the transaction of its business, ruinous to the health and danger- ous to the lives of those who were obliged to attend within them.” Yet not a stone has yet been laid for a new court. Under these cir cumstances, Judge Pierrepont declares that, as “the freedom of vacation has restored him to bis former health, he is not willing to imperil it again by daily confinement in poisoned air.” The Judge is perfectly right. His admirable letter draws a grapbic picture of our city government, to which we invite the attention of our readers. He truly says that “no man is held responsible for anything, and no one ap- pears to have the power to do anything but mischief.” He points out the inconsistency of | laviehing money upon the entertainment of | foreign princes, and yet neglecting to provide a building for the administration of public jus | tice, or “to construct a government which can protect us in the enjoyment of our lives, our liberties and our properties.” The affairs of the city are every day proceeding from bad | to worse, ‘making harlots of our women and rognes of our men.” This satire upon our | folly is justly merited, and we are glad to see | Judge Pierrepont exhibit so much indepea- dence as to tell the truth, however unpalatable it may be to thousands among us. His letter ought to be read, marked, learned and digest- ed by every citizen. As to our court rooms and other public | buildings, they are disgraceful, and unworthy of the character of the Empire City of the United States, the centre of its wealth sod | the great emporium of its commerce. The scoundrels who are plundering us every | year have other fish to fry besites attending to | the proper business for which they were elect. | ed, and they will pursue this game to the end | of the chapter, till the people rise np and make | o revolution which will clean out this Augean stable of the corruptions which have accumu- lated in it for so many years. British and American Journalism Con- trastea. : It is « fact which ought to be pretty well known by this time that one of our cardinal | prinoiples is to give everybody fair play. and to treat the topics of the day with entire free- dom from biss or prejudice of any kind what- ever. It is in this spirit that we have paid par- ticular attention to the American tour of the Prince of Wales. At all the places which the royal party have visited we have had one or more reporters especially detailed to write down exact accounts of what was said and done by everybody concerned in the recep- tions, official and otherwise, and to send them without delay and by telegraph. And in no one inetance has the Hrratp of the day failed to give the public full information as to what the Prince did on the previous one. Our special despatches from Halifax, St. Johns aud other places in the provinces cost a great deal of mosey; but we believe that if anything is worth doing at all itis worth doing well. We bave thus been able, thanks to the tele- graph and our own reporters, to give a de- tailed history of the Prince’s tour. It has not been a dry record of the main events of the journey; but the absurd, amusing and ludicrous side as well as the more serious view has Veen taken. That is our system. We have a right to call it ours, for although it is now known as the American system, the New York Henraip was the first journal that ever tried the experi- ment of reporting passing events exactly as they take place, and giving pen and ink photo graphs of all remarkable scenes and incidents. The English call this “sensation” journalism We accept the definition. The British system is quite different from ours, although the cheap London daily press is rapidly making innova tions and copying from us. The London Times and other high priced papers adhere to the old plan; they are intensely heavy, terribly re. spectable, and permeated with sentiments of the most profound deference for the three estates of the realm. In their articles, reports and letters, they often pay more attention to style than to facts. and consider manner more important than matter; they are awfully shocked at the free and easy journaliem of the United States, and bold up their hands in holy horror at our “heads.” They cannot understand why we do not treat distinguished persons with that awful respect which is considered their due in Eag- land. All this is very English, and therefore to be expected. We know that our system is the best, becauee it is founded on this theory: the news first; other things may be considered afterwards. We have given the news of the princely tour to the London Times and other British journals a week or ten days before they obtained it from any other source. The Times sent over a special correspondent, whose letters have been systematically forestalled by the arrival of the American accounts, sometimes a fortnight before them. It was well that this happened, as the letters of the reporter re- ferred to were not only singularly stupid, but were full of the most absurd blunders as to matters of fact, statistics, and ge- neral information which is at the hands of every traveller. We find, in a letter from New York, that convicts are sent to Blackwell's Island “for life, and almost invaria- bly pardoned out directly afterwards;” that | battles between a Western tribe of Indians and the “settlers of New England” have been fought on top of the’Palisades, and many other items more novel than correct. Nor was this veracious chronicler any better informed as to the history and geograpby of the British Pro vinces. As is very properly hinted in one of his letters, the English people know more of Mesopotamia than Nova Scotia, of Timbuctoo than of New Brunawick, of Nineveh than of Canada. The London @imes correspondent was careful not to enlighten hie readers, but could not refrain from a sneer at the United States, in a letter from New Brunswick, advising immigrants to buy lands there rather than to be deluded by “smart” agents who deal in Mississippi swamps. The Times has so great and generally well deserved a reputation for its correspondence, that everybody has been much disap- pointed at the way in which #0 capital @ subject as the Prince’s visit has been slaughtered. It is idle for the foreffn reporters to attempt to divert attention from their failure by abusing the American journalists, and then writing pathetic letters to the same papers ask- ing for the courtesies due to confreres. Such tricks only expose still more openly the disap pointment and chagrin which they are intended to hide. We claim the reports of the Prince of Wales’ tour as triumphs of the American over the British system of journalism. And it does not speak well for the profession on the other side of the water, that, while every one attached to the reyal party has behaved in a manner cal- culated to win the esteem and even affection of all with whom they have come in contact, the only persons who have made any trouble, or behaved diecourteously in any way, have been the representatives of the Eoglish and Ca- Dadian press. Let us hope that they will even- tually be tanght better manners. Tur Pewee or Wares any tux New York Suorkrerens.—The proprietors of our fashion. able millinery establishments, of the great Broadway bazars, the jewellers, dresemakers, tailors and fancy goods dealers, owe a very large debt of gratitude to the Prince of Wales. Never before has their business been 80 active. ‘The best artificers in the metropolis have had their hands full of work during the last six weeks, and now, as they are just completing their labor of love, we bave collected some in- | formation ss to its resulta, giving an account of | \ and foreign policy of the next administration at the chef d'ouvres, in the way of dresses, jewel- ry and other matters of personal adornment, manufactured expressly for the ball. This in- | formation will be found in another part of to- day's paper. New York is the centre of taste and refinement, as well as of trade, finance and | | commerce for this country. and our modisies | and cunning workers in the precious metals and costly gems are but a little behind the best Paris artists. In fact, many of the best workmen and women in the gay city have found New York a more profitable field of operations than Paris, and have exchanged the City Politics and Politicians. Ever sines the smash up of the democratic party at Charles{on and Dallimore, we have had @ general bedlau’ confusion amongst the cliques and political factions of this city, with every appearance of the city being represented at Washington and Albany by a set of men totally unqualified for those important posi- tions. During the last three or four weeks the equabbles of the fag ends of the numerous frag ments have been going on in our midst, and the conventions that have ussembled and nominated their candidates have put forward representa- tives of at least half a dozen factions. Among those nominated for the State Assembly are several members of the last Legislature who were found voting with the piratical crew of that body; and among the list of Congressional candidates are some of the ex-Aldermen who have brought disgrace upon the city by their action at the City Hall, and several other worth- leas philosophers who have no idea of the duties of a member of Congress. There is, however, a gleam of hope that a better order of things is about to take place, and that the political vagabonds who have had everything their own way so long will be driven back to their hiding places, from which they should have never emerged. The forma- tion of a Union electoral ticket is working like magic upon these barroom combinations, and is destroying the feuds which have given the pothouse politicians their food and stock in trade. ‘The great outpouring of the masses at the Union ratification meeting Monday night is one of the significant features of this new order of things. That assemblage, in and around the Cooper Institute, is the triumph of the inde- pendent press and public opinion over the’ combined efforts of the trading politicians of all grades and importance, and is an emphatic warning to all such small fry politicians as John A. Green, Gid. Tucker and Jim Brady, who are trying to elect Lincoln, that they must stand from under, or they will be crushed by the onward march of this mighty conservative army. There is now no mistaking the signs of the times, that whatever other States may do there is a fair prospect of a triumph of the Union forces in the Empire State over the sec- tional republican party and their new allies—Green, Tucker and Brady; not, however, a victory of the Regency faction, the Tammany faction, the Mozart faction, the Douglas faction, or the Bell faction, but a triumph of a new Union party that has sprung up, a8 if by magic, from the ruins left by the crazy politicians at Charleston and Baltimore— @ party that owes {ts origin to the indignation in the public mind toward the action of the sel- fish and unscrupulous politicians that have so long had the control of the parties of the day. ‘This same feeling, 80 thoroughly aroused upon the Presidential question, is being extended to our local affairs, and there are already symp- toms that the wrangles of the petty, trading ward cabals will be forced to give way to the pres- sure, and a better class of men be brought forward for the several offices to be filled at the coming election. - Now that the Union electoral ticket has been completed and emphatically endoreed by the people, let some attention he paid to the judi cial, county, Legislative and Congressional tickets, which are of vital importance to the city. Let the buying and selling coalitions, and the worthless philosophers placed in nom- ination by them, be cleared away as so much rubbish, and let there be a concert- ed action of all Union loving men upon such men for Congreesmen as Hon. John Coch- rane, that a delegation may be sent to Washing- ton from this city that will have some voice in the halls of Congress. Let there be such an arrangement in regard to the Assembly candi daics that none of those engaged in the bucca- neering operations of last session will find their way back to Albany. Every movement that has for its objects the defeat and overthrow of the numerous trading and mercenary political factions that have so long disgraced the city, and the selection of worthy and upright men to fill the several city and county offices, and to represent the city at Albany and Washington. will receive our hearty co-ogjpation. Tax Great Arovmest Acaist Lixcoty’s Exection.—Our republican organs affect to be disgusted at the Union coalition movements aimed at the defeat of Lincoln. We are thus told that there is no principle recognized among these Union elements in their opposition to Lincoln, but that, with all their lfelong hostilities against each other upon great prin- ciples, the various factions concerned are ope rating together for no other object than Lin- coln’s defeat. Admitting all this to be true, there is still a great argument in favor of these Union coali- tions which completely overshadows all other considerations ; and here it is:—Lincoln is the candidate of a sectional anti-slavery party, pledged to the prosecution of their war against “the slave power’ until “all the States shall be free States.” The republican programme for the prosecution of thie war, under the forms and pro- fessions of constitutional authority, strikes at the very roots of the constitution. The policy of the republican party, in short, on the subject of slavery, involves the subjugation of the South- ern States to the demands of the abolitionists, or the bloody dissolution of the Union. To defeat this revolutionary programme it is only necessary to defeat the republican party in this Presidential contest and this is argument enongh in favor of the fusion of all conserva- tive men in the North of all parties against the republicans. All governmental measures concerning the tatiff, internal improvements, the public lands, and all other questions affecting the domestic Washington, are as dustin the balance when weighed sgainst this paramount and vital ques- tion of the preservation of the Union. It can only be preserved by the adbesion of the fede- ral government to the constitution, including the constitutional righte of the South. Under 4 republican administration—if we look to the latest teachings of Mr. Seward, the great head of his party—the rights of the*South under the constitution will not be respected, but they will be trampled under foot. The consequences of Mr. Seward’s pro- Boulevards for Broadway. As many of our | gramme, which is Mr. Lincoln's, will first be belles have sent abrond for their dresses, while others have patronized native or expa- triated artista, the Prince's ball will give to com- noisseurs in crinoline a splendid opportunity to ¢titicise the various styles by the teat of abso Jute comparisoa. | | scenes of discord and strife between the federal and Sonthern local authorities, rapidly culmi- nating in the secession of ome of the Southern States and in a civil war, which will be the end of the only popular institutions on the face of the earth competent to make good the Dirfue | night of the people of every uation to govera tbetelves, ‘The preservation of the popular institutions of this Union, established upon the federal con- stitution, therefore, is an all-snfficient argument for the fusion of all good Union men every- where ag, inst the republican Presidential ticket.
