BALTI3ioaE CfTg.-An election for members
Of the Select and Common Councils, and for
May or, was held in Baltimore, on Monday, the
18th inst. Gen Sheppard C. Leakin, Wing,
was elected Mayor, BY a majoriiy Of 467 votes
and the Wings have elected majority oftheir
own men in both branches Of the City Council.
Baltimore, therefore, will have its municipal af-
fairs directed by The Wings.
PENNsYLyA have not seen, during
the past week. any tabular statements, Of the
election results in Pennsy lvania, but learn, from
the Baltimore papers, that Gen. Porier's major
ity will be some where between and 5000 over
Gov. Rituer. Ia the Legislature, the strength
Of parties, II is said. will stand thus Senate,
Wings, 20; Van Bnren men, 10; House q
Representatives, Wings, 44 IAN buren, men,
90 giving the latter ma ority Of s. on joint
ballot. The election Of members OF Congress,
stands as follows Wings, L and Van Bnren
men, 10; and one case. which IS, as far as
can learn, yet undecided. IL appears that in the
third district, MIR. Naylor, the Wing candi
date, received majority Of upwards OF 100
votes, hut that, by some unaccountable means,
the books of the elections in some oil the wards
were lost, by those who had them in charge,
and that upon the ground OF their being so lost,
Mr.. lngersoll and his friends claimed the right
