The newspaper offices, the hotels and telegraph offices have been crowded all the evening. But the feeling is just the reverse of that created by the New Hampshire election. The democrats in this instance are crowing loudly, and seem-very pleasantly disposed, while the republicans are proportionately depressed and chagrined. Defeat of the New Constitution, Carrying Down With It Negro Suffrage, Prohibi- tion, &c. Derzort, Mich,, April 6, 1833. ‘The election returns coming in clearly indicate the de‘cat of the new constitution, It cannot yet be jn ed how the vote on prohibition has gone.

ATCHISON, April 6, 1968, ‘The city election here to-day resulted in the choice of a democratic Mayor by twenty-one majority. ‘The republicans elect a majority of Councilmen and mem- bers of the School Board; also of the constables, THE PROPOSED METEOROLOGICAL BUREAU. Regarding the bureau of meteorology which it is suggested should be established in this city a cor- respondent offers the following suggestions: First—With regard to the stations they should be judiciously a |, chosen with due to the natural features of the district over which it is proposed to extend Investigation. The proper places would be at ular interva!s along the Coasts, giv! due 1 to their configuration, at regular intervals along the course of the rivers and al both sides and top of elevated table Jands a ‘The plains are comparatively in meteorological phenomenn; while unfortunately the lines of raliroad afford the best facilities for investi. gation on them, and Cpe) invest’ gation to them would soon render the sub; stale and tess, Second—With regard to the Instruments, each sta- tion should be supplied with an anomoter, a barome- ter, a thermometer, a hydrometer and a weather vane. Stations on important points should be sup- plied with additional instruments to meet their local requirements; fot ance, at particular ae or rivers the observers should be supplied with inatru- ments to ascertain the rise, fall and velocity of the stream. This would be very important, as it would enable us to compare the Telative amount of water me eaves on the basin to that discharged through channel. Third—With regard to transmiasion, it should be so aystematized that very few characters would seem to represent all igen 4 vicissitudes, Pourth—With regard to the management of the rincipal office here in New York, I wouid t hat a form be made of a ae joy the area over whic: the we te Is proj to extend, and each station on this be made with a swivel type that may be moved round at pleasure and allowances made for movable type to be set in at pleasure, as may be required to designate the various changes had their duration. Now at the close of each meteor- ological day—which should be placed at midnight— this plate should be closed and sent to press. It might be operated on the spot witha hand press and as many copies struck as may be required. By this mode the whole eamiect would be Bye in such @ manner that the dul mind might be able to com- prehend and reason, while the quickest and most enlightened would be materially aided by the ays- tematic arrangement of the data. It would relieve the subject of its dull features and form 4 record that centuries hence would be an invaiuable refer. If it were desired to publish this every morning the same form on a small scale might be used and after the proof sheets are issued from the office any ordinary type setter could prepare the form for the i. in a few minutes, and then the article on the day’s meteors would be re- lieved from the dryness of detail which sug articles present to most minds. Rut, above ail, is it meceasary that connected with the office should be an institute where #afuring mon could and receive gratia gay information they might uire, and in return reveive from them thelr observations and ex: en ‘The institution might be made self-sustaining by Purniahing the p sheets to recular subsoribers, from, ts 1,303, ‘The missing towns will increase tt to | BROOKLYN CITY THE GAST RIVER @RIDGE. The Subject Before the Brooklyn Common Council, | ‘The regular weekly meeting of the Brookiyn Com- mon Council was held yesterday afiernoon, The prinetpal business transacted was the consideration of the minority report of the committee having under consideration the subject of loaning the city’s eredit to the amount of $3,000,000 towards constructimg the proposed bridge across the East river. The foliow- ing isan abstract of the minerity report:— ‘They submit as reasons for not agreeing to the re- port of the committee presented at the last meeting of the Board that in the first place the spanning of the river between the two eities would not only havea effect on the general prosperity of both, but would be ofnational importance and refiect honor on American skill and enterprise, Secondly, the feasibility of the project with re- gard to ite features seems to be generally conceded; but a strong Gbjection exists from the fact that the opinion of only one engineer has been ob- tained on the sul Thirdly, it had been assumed on insufficient grounds that the enterprise was wholly impracticable to individual or associated effort; but if it be feasible capitalists will not be slow to lend their aid. The general outline of the proposed plan appears to be this:—To obtain from the city its two or three mil- Nons bore ger to the stock, the city to be repre- sented in the company nominally, but not to vote upon its stock; the company then. subscribe or pro- secure subscriptions . for one or two milli more of stock, and the balance of the cost of the con- ‘struction to be raised on bonds of the company. If three or four millions can be obtained on bonds why cannot the same amount be obtained by subscr| tion? Capital must be satisfied that the project ia feasible before it will trust the bonds of the company for security. The only wey in which the city could obtain any control would be by acquiring the whole fn advance of one-third of the construction, it is true that hopes of tiberal profits must be held out to in- duce capitalists to Sie bh such large enterprises; but the city ought not to be subjected to the proposed heavy burden for the purpose of retaining those profits in a few hands, Let the books of the coin- pany be opened for public subscription, and let sub- scriptions to the stock be solicited, not loans on bond, ocean, in view of the present heavy bonds of cops ane axes it would be an unreasonable addition e pe burdens. A large part of the city has ‘et to Bearites: with pavement, water, sewerage. uch of the older eo of the city is in such a condition as to require that these absolutel, functions of municipal government shall essential be done over again, Besides, the extensive system of im- provemen' including boulevards, parks, street widenings, &c., which las been entered upon, we are told, will ammensely increase the value of property, and that the amount of taxation may be in- creased, but not ita rate; but the same thing was said when the Park was begun, and yet yor erty has huraly felt its effects Sear. it has-been suggested that the proposed bridge would be of more advantage to some portions of the city than to others, and that there would be Injustice for that reason in the city assuming such an expense, The undersigned do not sympathize with this objec- tion, for the reason that the work is of such magni- tude and its effects would be so general, If accom- plished, that it could hardly be considered local or partial. Moreover, if established at one point with he aid of the city, 1t would furnish an argument for extepding similar aid to other polnis, But this sug- gestion, instead of lessening the objections, increases them twofold, as it commits the city to a double responsibility and expenditure, nis report, together with the whole subject of the bridge loan, was made the special order of business for Monday next. TWO REN FOUND SUFFOCATED IN A VAT. About six o'clock last evening two young men em- ployed in the manufacture of ammonia at the chemi- cal works of Mitchell & Fall, 254 Marshal street, were found dead, one lying in a vat which contained the solution and the other close beside it. It appears ane pring Pa metabo ale from the position in which the deceased were dis- covered that one of the men, Leander Bolan, while .at work must have become overpowered by the ex- halations and fallen in the vat. The other, whose name is Robert Walker, while endeavoring to extricate Bolan, also became overpowered and expired. The bodies were discovered by Susan Langley, a servant girl, who entered the building for the purpose of summoning the deceased, who boarded in the house sAjoining, to supper. She gave the alarm and seve- ral partics came in und extricated the bodies, but life Was extinct. Bolan is twenty-two years of age and a native of Maine. Walker is eighteen years age. Bolan was married, and hts wife, who 1s only sixteen | No, 1 Pel of age, had just arrived from Maine to join her usband. Sergeant Craft, of the Forty-second pre- cinct, assisted in the removal of the bodies of the unfortunate men, and notified the Coroner. These chemical works, it is said, h@ve been reported to the rd of Health as 4 nuisance, as the stench occa- sioned by the manufacture of the ammonia was almost unbearable, The inquest will probably be held over the bodies to-day. NEW YORK COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY. This society held its monthly meeting last evening, at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue. Dr. Edmund R. Peasiee presided. The attendance was large and the interest manifested in the proceedings of more than ordinary nature, Dr. Stephen Rogers read a per on “mortality,” in which he adverted to the deaths in New York and Brooklyn for the first three months of 1867 as over five thousand, and that this number exceeded the same period of 1866 over four hundred, He held that the extension of a city or the scattering of its bag oper! did not necessarily diminish deaths. Inthe matter of mortality in the Infant Hospital in this city, he reiterated the start- ling facts with which the public are acquainted, Among them he said that twenty per cent of the whole number of infants within the {institution dur- ing last year having mothers, and seventy per cent without mothers, died; starvation, neglect and its kindred {lls were the canses.
