 It should be remarked that this town last spring cast about 500 votes-of course this election s not very fair test of strength Last October, with about the same number of votes now, tie majority against the whgs on every ballot except that for Town Clerk was upwards of 5o The following are the officers chosen: .- " - tE

 Tn -M- which towns the contest has heretofore been very close, sometimes way and sometimes the other the Wings carried in their Town Officers.

 1cr Since the above was in type, we have reports that New-Mford, the stronghold of Van Bureniem, and the very seat of Perry Smthsm has been carried by the whigs by about 20 majorty-and all the other towns in this county, usually whig, from which we have heard, have elected whig town officers From Waterbury and Bristol both VI B. last spring. we learn that the whgs also succeeded fthese elections af- ford any criterion for the spring election, Connecticut will then again take her station among the whg States, instead of being mere colony to New-York F. S. We hear that in Wethenfield. Berlin, and Windsor, hitherto tory towns the whgs have succeed ed. So far very good! No town has done as badly as Litchfeld !-and here, if any exertions had been
 made, we might have carried the election just as easy as not The whigs were no, 50 much dispirited as- lazy in getting to the polls! .,- 01- The State Elections in MaryLand and Georg,a ruuk piuvu nfonuay sylronia they to be held next week. Wehope for good news from all of them.

 Flour in New-York has within the last few days fallen considerably.
