The elections Of Representative in
Congress-. State Senator, Members OF
the Legislature, and City Officers, took
place in the City and County Of PhiIa-
delphia on Tuesday of last week. In the
city, the National Republicans, and In
dependent Democrats prevailed by a
small majority. In the county, the ad
ministration ticket was carried by a ma
jority of about 1900. DIR. Sutherland is
elected Representative in Congress in
the first District, in opposition to Mr..
Sergeant, by a majority Of 699 votes.-
The National Gazette Of Wednesday,
Observes
"Yesterday dawned with extremely
inclement weather, such as might be
deemed unlavorable for the good cause !;
but the victory has been gained by the
Independent Democrats and National
Republicans, and the city at least is
safe. This was the main interest. In
the county, the Jackson ticket has pre-
vailed. DIR. Sutherland is elected. If
he should prove consistent with what he
has been as a member Of Congress, his
success in the election will not be a
matter of so much regret. The change
of station cannot prove ultimately advan-
tageous to himself. There is larger
majority of legal anti-Jackson voters in
the city than the returns show; sufficient
however, for the day is the good there

ominous appearances Of disorder moth

ton to Col Sewell, the regularly nomi-
mated Jackson candidate, and to MIR

BRlGnToN, Sept. Fall Me B,rsh.
ton .i,liheum. This stupendous structure
has shared the fate of the Brunswick
Theatre; bu, happily the destruction Oft
has not been attended with loss ofli(e.-
1t fell on Friday evening with a trcmen-
dous crash, and the noise it made resem-
bled the distant rumbling of thunder.
This immense cdifce was commenced
about twelve months since, under the
superintendent of an eminent botanist,
Mr. Philips, Of this town, whose know
ledge OF horticulture is very extensive -
The building was composed entirely Of
iron, weighing between 400 and 500 tons,
and il formed the largest dome ever con-
structcG, exceeding in size that of St.
Peters, in Rome, by upwards Of 5000
superficial feet. The glazing, which
was to have been commenced on Mon
day, would have taken "A long time TO
complete, it requiring nearly two acres
of glass to cover the dome. The plant
ing had been commenced some time, the
choicest plants had been collected, and
great many eminent persons were contrib
utors, inc luding the Duke of Devonshire.
The work had progressed rapidly, and
the building promised to stand a monu-
mcnt ef architectural beauty. A great
portion of the scatfolding had been re-
moved, and on Friday afternoon, the
whole of it was taken down, and every
thing appeared firm. In an hour or two
afterwards, however, portion ofthe iron
work was heard to crack, and the work
men having timely notice Of the same,
removed from the premises. The crack
ling continued for some time, and then
fears were entertained for its safety
The principal gardener had scarcely left
the interior, when it came tumblng
down with an awful crash; the immense
ribs of iron snapt asunder in ten thousand
pieces; and great part OF it, from the
height it fell, was buried several feet in
the earth. The destruction of this great
edifce is accounted for only by the i'm
mor-e weight of iron at the top, when
unsunport,, ID by the scafIoIding, folded in,
and forced its way to the ground. The
ruins were visited yesterday by several
hundred persons. 1T was situated at the
western extremity Of the town, and would
