This majority, however, may not express MI
Findlay's strength in the same counties, as were
oret To perceive by the returns received yester-
day. that his vote has in other parts Oh the ola.e
fallen greatly below the wing Congressional
vote. Two cases we give as examples: In Ihe
fourth district, Mr.. Corwin's majority Iol Coh-
gress was ISL, while that OF Mr. Findlay was
but 600; and in the single county OF Coshocton'
Mr.. Findlay's vote was 1874 below that OF Mr..
Snanoler. the whig candidate for Congress
The opinion was, however, still entertained IN
different parts OF the State, that Mr. +. was elect

the 18th, SAYS: owe have succeeded beyond
doubt in Ohio We have 10 members OF Con-

conclusive information as to the Governors

Yesterday, gives report that Mr. M'Lene is re,

so, that Mr.. Spangler has lost his election. Our
information from that district is OF an opposite

The Hermitage Burnk-Yesterday evening
about 4 o'clock, the roof of the Hermitage
was discovered to be on fire, and all attempts to
arrest the progress of the flames proving una,
vailing, the entire edifice, with the exception OF
the room attached to the northern end, and
used as dining room, was in few hours con-
sumed The valuable furniture in the lower
story was fortunately saved, though much bro
ken and otherwise injured in getting it out
That in the second story was, we understand,
chiefly destroyed. The fire is supposed TO
have been communicated to the roof by the fal.
ling of spark from one Of the cbimneys; and
there being at the time light breeze from the

5 CoMrarHRssIvE COMMENTARY ON THE BiBts.-
we have recently had an Opportunity of exa-
mining splendid publication,by Fessenden q
Co. of Bratteboro', and Shattuck & Go. OF bos-
ton.-whch is one Of the most useful and lnte-
resting to the Christian public which has ever
issued from the press in this country. IL Is d
comprehensive Commentary on the Bible, con-
tanning the Text, SCOTS Marginal References
Henry's Commentary, SCOTS practical ooser-
vations, with full selection of explanatory
notes from Doddridge, Gill; Adam Clark, Lowth
and other learned and eminent commentators
All this is contained in five large and beautifui
volumes, handsomely printed and bound, ana
adorned with elegant engravings and many
wood cuts. 1t is, we think, one of the most
complete and extensive works of the kind that
has vet appeared. This publication, we observe
has received the recommendations of many OF
the most learned and eminent divines in the
United States, besides the favorable notice Of
nearly all the periodicals of merit. Though
large, the work, We observe, is particularly
adapted to the wants OF Sunday School Teach
ers and Bible Glasses, who no doubt will find it
a most valuable guide and assistant.

Dutch East Eadies.-By our latest advices
from Canton we learn that many daring acts
of piracy had been committed in the East India
seas, and that measures were in progress to
suppress them. Java journals have been re-
ceived at the Hague, down to the oath Of May,
nearly month later, which contain various
particulars respecting the depredations of the
pirates. On the 18th of April the Iris shooner
was attacked off the island Of Gboand by II
pirate vessels, but happily escaped. The Iris
saw small schooner in the possession of the
pirates supposed to be the English schooner
Gem, Capt. J. Douglass, which left Sournabaya
on the 4th Of April to 60 by the Strait of Bali to
Van Dieman's land. Orders were Immediately
given at Sournbaya to 60 in search of the pi-
rates.
The princess of the island of Submanwa, I'M

Of Bima and "a of Submanwa, lately put to
sea for the purpose and steered to the island of
Samadan; they took or burnt nine pirate YES
sells, and freed AZ prisoners.
About the same time the Sultan Of Linga, and
Radja Moeda, of Rouw, fitted out so armed
vessels, which, with three belonging to the Gov
ernor, attacked the strong position of the pi-
rates at the mouth of the river InGragiti, and
not only took the forts, the pirate vessels and
their heavy artillery, but captured eight Of the
pirate chiefs, Of whom three were Immediately
condemned and put to death at Linga, and the
five others condemned to hard labor in chains
