GREAT TRIUMPH! The State elections have
just taken place in DeiaUare and Maruland
and have resulted, in both States, in a fri
umPh OF the administration party, exceeding
even their most sangune calculations In Del
@oGre, they have obtained majority in the
senate, and two-thrds of the assembly, thus
securing the electoral vote of that State, the
electors being appointed by the Legislature
kensey Johns, jr., the administration candidate
Tor Congress, is reelected by near 500 MAORI
ty. Last year the Legislature was equally d.
vided, and was compelled to adjourn without
DONG any business, in consequence of the as
semby being unable 10 elect Speaker.
In .Marytand, forty -seven delegates, favorable
to the administration, are elected, and thirty
one In favor of Gen. Jackson. Every electoral
district IN the State. excepting two, has given
majority for the administration, and one of
those two is about equally divided The BaIti.

the choice of electors, that district will oo for
the administration If it should the vote of

adeiPhia, the jackson ticket succeeded in ma
Jorlty of the wards. In the country, however
the administration party has exhibited great
strength, and has chosen its candidates in MANY
places where it had not been expected. Tbougb
we have never calculated on this State for the
administration, we now verify believe that there
is a fair probability that its vote will be given
for John Quincy Adams.
On the result of these elections, the Demo-
cratic Press remarks:
five blew a trumpet before our news. as the
Jackson men do, we should to-day blow till our
cheeks cracked so great and good is the news

from Delaware and MARYLAND The admins

CITIES OF THE DEAD. We can hardly imao. |
inc any thing calculated to excite more thrill. |
Ing interest than visit to HercuIaneum and
Pompen, those cities of the dead, which. after
lying buried in the earth for nearly twentv I
centuries, have been restored to the gaze off
man In state of complete preservation. In !
walking through the streets and exploring the
dwellings, one must almost imagine himself
placed back, two thousand years nearer the (
time OF the creation, and that the chasn be- |
tween has been rendered void But one thing
Is wanting to render the illusion perfect: the /
inhabitants,-the soul Of the whole scene.-ore
gone, and the solemn stiffness which peryades
their habitations, forces upon the mind con- |
vIctlon of the sad reality. On our first page.
we have placed copious extracts from The iourn. I
al o: traveller, who has recently visited those
places. If they possess the same interest for
our readers that we have felt in them, they will
be read with avidity, and we shall not be blan.
ed for occupying so much space with them.
WORCESTER Coal. We yesterday saw an {
excellent fire of the Worcester coal, in stove
erected tor the purpose Of burning that kind off
fuel, in the store of I. & w. Keith, in this
town 1t produced great heat, and apparent /
ly burned as well as either the Lehigh or
Schuylkil coal. Great quantities have been
taken from the mine recently, and the quality |
gradually improves, so that whatever doubts re-
manned of its goodness and value, appear to be
mostly removed.
ELECTORAL VoTEs. We have made arrange.
ments for supplying such towns as may wish, !
with Electoral votes for the Administration
candidates. 1t is desired that information NAV
be given, as early as possible, of the number
that will be wanted in each town, that the
quantity printed may be regulated accordingly
1t is intended to afford them at a loo rate.
FROST. We had frost for the first time this
season on the night of the 18th inst. 1t was
not very severe.
PROBATE Courts will be holden at Temple.
ton on the 2lst, and at Brookfeld on the 2Sth
