PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.

| In our last we stated that the Wings had elect
ed their entire ticket in Philadelphia. Since then
we have received returns sufficient to suiisiy US,
that RrTNER, the Wing and Antimasonic candl-
date for Governor, is elected BY upwards Of 49,
600 majority, over either Of his opponents
So far as heard from the votes are-for Rilner,
1852 Wolf, 54,595 Munenburg, s6.269.-
-Rhner's majority over Woli, 2s ,957 over Mah-
lenburg, 47,2sS. The result OF this election, we
must confess, has turned GU, different from what
we expected, and il must forever crush all the
hopes the Van Buren, party had of securing that
State. The Legislature will be decidedly Wing,
by an overwhelming majority. Of the Represen-
,atives elected, Poulson's Daily Advertiser says,
81 nre Wings, Wolfs. and 9 Mules. und tina,
we Lave undoubtedly elected l in Mercer, in
Erie, l or 2 in Faye'te in Indian and Jeifer-
son and probably in Crawford, in Venango
and Warren, and in Greene. The remaining
eight will probably be divided between Wolf and
Muhlenburg." The Philadelphia Herald says
" The funeral knell OF Van Burenism was sounded
in Pennsy lvania on Tuesday last. Her motto is
still Virtue, Liberty, and independence The
result pleases every body bu. IIalIet, Ofths Boston
Advocate. The Woftes rejoice at the defeat Of
the Muhlenburgers the latter at the overthrow Of
the former--and the Wings at the triumphant
choice Of Ri,ner. The "ksy stone State" "is safe

From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

The Laio of the Riuer-A suit was tried at
Albany few days ago brought by the owners OF
the sloop Lady Madison against the owners Of the
steamboat Ohio, for the value Of said sloop and
cargo, she having sunk in consequence fbeing run
into by the Ohio, during one the rights Of August.
1884. The sloop had cast anchor short time
before the accident occurred ,,uLd the man who was
ordered 10 hang up the lanhorn accidentally broke
il, so that she had no light hosted, and this de-
fciency was the chief ground Of defence. Tho
crew ofthe Ohio rendered every assistance in their
power, and ,owed the sIoop some distance, until
she went down. We quote whut follows from
the Albany Evening Journal:
Joseph Giiiespie, (called by the defendants)-
was Pilot on board Of The Ohio ut The time Of the
| accident aud at the wheel--it was dark, tazy

the act Of backing when she struck.
Cross EIamtned-The Ohio is 1870 feet long,
cant stop her headway in going three times her
Iength--cant stop the progress Of the wheels in

So it would take about as long to reverse their

prevented the collision the moon rose after tho
vessel was struck vessels without light frequent

thinks the sloop was not properly manned.
The Jury rendered a verdict Of six cents dam
ages, with Gusts Of the suit, In favor Of the Plain
tiifs.
This trial may therefore, be regarded nc settling
very important principle in River navigation
