THE Wines OF New Yoak-The Wings Of
New York appear to be on the alert, aud in good
spirits, IN reference to the great Election which
IS to take place in that State few weeks hence.
In the city Of New York a great meeting was
held On Thursday evening last, 10 receive the Re-
port OF the Delegates TO the Utica Convention;
which report presented by MIR. Chandler
Starr, and was accepted, after pertinent addresses
from MIR. Starr and Mr.. Hugh Maxwell. After
which, Mr. John c. Spencer, of Ontario, was IN
troduced to the meeting, whom he addressed in an
ible and spirited speech. When he concluded.
The room resounLci with cries for Mr. Ogden
Hoffman, and the cheering continued for several
minutes after he had mounted the rostrunl. He
made one of his always effective speeches, in the
course of which ne alluded to the \ itonal Con-
yention for the selection OF candidates for Pfesi-
dent and Vice President, and said, 81 am no mans
uIan--l am no Webster man--nn Clay man--and
am no Harrison mani am a Wing mani am

venton fountain Of heaiing-a fountain whose
streams If not disturbed, are broad and deep G.
nough to carry safely on its bosom; rather
as to some goody tree, planted by an honest
hand, that, with care, will bear abundant fruit, Of
| which may eat and live; but if we allow the
canker-worm of personal prejudices to eat up its
roots and DESTROY its sap, it will be like an apple
of the Dead Sea--speclous to the eye, but ashes
and bitterness TO the taste" This is truth. and
nothing but the truth, as we should expect 1t to
be delivered by high-mnded, patriotic States
man like Mr.. Hoffman.
| Resolutions approving of the nomination of
WIN. II. SEWARD as the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor, and LUTHER BRADIsH the candidate for
Lieutenant Gov ernor, were unanimously adopted.

| SUGAR FROM BEErs.--The production OF Beet
Sugar has become extensive IN France that the
colonial product is no longer able to stand without
/ injury a competition with it, under the existing
| impost, and the Chamber Of Commerce of Havre
has accordingly addressed strong remonstrance
| To the Gov against the continuance of the
duty on the colonial article. 1t calls for reduc-
ton Of the duty, without which the colonial sugar
cannot maintain the competition with indigenous
/ (beet roos) sugar in the markets of France. The
/ Chambers of Commerce of Bordeaux and Nantes
have also sent circumstances 10 the Ministry "a
gainst the system which it seems inclined to adopt
with respect to this article.
In short time it viii become as fashionable
among the English nobility to trave, in the Uni
ted States as it now Ia on the Continent. The
Countess of Westnorelan5, with lovely niece, 6
servants, travelling arrage, and medical atten-
dant, embark to-day in the packet ship President,
for New York. She has engaged the whole of
the lady's cabin for her own Her purpose
is to travel for two three in the U. States,
She has some property in Prince Edwards Island,
which she will also visit. She also visits Cana

| Loss O sUB-TREAsUnr.--We iearn from the
Hartford (Ct.) Courier that Mr.. Hoahird, U. s.
District Attorney and Postmaster at Winchester,
in that State, having deposited the public funds in
an old stocking, woke up one morning and found
the whole missing. A co!ored woman had run
away with treasure and treasury. 1t seems she
was perfectly aware Of the constitutional rrovis
ion that no money shall be drawn from the treasu
ry but in consequence of appropriations made by
/ law, and so instead of drawing the money OFT oil
the stocking, she took stocking and all. Has no,
our Gov eminent achieved wonders for the security
of The public funds by transferring them first from
the u s. Bank to an hundred local banks; and
secondly. from an hundred local banks to $4,000
dirty stockings?--[ Louisville Journal.

We have no doubt that Gov. Kent has bee,
sacrificed in the recent election in Maine in con
sequence OF his firm resistance to the claim Sc
up by Great Britain to part of that State an
from the rejoicing at his defeat. which il

ginal impression that British gold has been free
used to bring about this result-that Mr.. Fo,

Durham the North Eastern Boundary, t
shew how door could be amic.bly opened in tn
defeat Of Gov Kent, by which England might 81
tisactoryy settle that vexed question; that doc
was opened, and with the same golden kew tina
England has used in subsidiz ing all Europe an

ing sacrificed the honest, indomitab!e whig Go,
ernor Of Maine, who guarded the soil Amel
lean should do, shall soon hear that compre
mise has been made. and that British troops Sc
E cured an entrance into Lower Canada throug
the American Territory, opening in this way
D clear avenue for an immense army. which NAV
