VIRGINIA ELECTION
AND YET ANOTHER WH1e We are
unable to find a motive which can Justify
the delusion the Loco Foco papers at.
tempt to keep up concerning the result OF
this election. There cannot be doubt
of the success of the wings. The Balti-
more Patriot of the 18th contains the fol
lowing:
The official returns of Monongalia co.
were counted by the sheriff on Monday,
the Sd inst, and the gratifying fact was
then discovered that James Evans, (W.)
and not Tanzey, Il. +. was the second
delegate elected. Evans majority is
three !--close cutting, but still it will do /!
The Richmond Wing, Of yesterday states,
on the authority of letter from Lock
bridge, the delegate elect from Bath CO.,
that he is Conservative.--He has here
tofore been counted as a Whig--,ransfer.
ring him then to the Conservative column,
and placing Mr. Evans among the Wings
we have on the vote of parties in the
House Of Delegates, ts Wings clear
majority in the House. The Loco Foco
vote will most likely be decreased at the
meeting Of the Legislature, as the seats
! of several, returned by the Sheriff, will
be contested either by the opposing Wing
or Conservative candidates and with al
most certain success. This is the case
with Mr. w. L. White, Of Hanover,
whose seat will be contested by DR. Cur
! tbs, w. and Mr. Allen, Of Hampshire.
returned by two majority over Mr. Odell,
| (Con.)
In both instances, it is believed that the
members returned will be superseded.
No doubt several other seats will be con
; tested, and if so, we may infer with what
success, from the fact, that Wing has
never yet contested an election before the
House Of Delegates, and it has often
been done, without obtaining the seat.

CANADIAN MovEMENTs.--The Mon
treal Courier says, that Sir George Ar.
thur, after fnlly examining into the affair
of the American schooner at Brockville.
despatched messenger to Washington
on the subject. On his return to Toron-
to he inspected the troops at Kingston.
In the address he made to them he $ told
them that they were capable of any duty,
and cautioned them to avoid intemper-
ance-that measures were taken to stop
desertion, and that most of the desertion
which had occurred was to be ascribed to
intemperance.
The 9 Honorables" who had been sent
for, from Quebec, to attend meeting OF
the Executive Council embarked, the
Courier says, on board the John Bull, on
Thursday evening, on their return home.
The disposal, of the political prisoners,
at present in gaol, was, it is said, discus.
sed in the Council, and that resolution
had been adopted for transporting some
70 or 80 of them to New South Wales.
The Montreal Herald of the 18th inst.
says, that on the 9th a Canadian was
brought into town from Odeltown, having
been captured within about two acres dis
lance Of the frontier line, by two troopers
of the Montreal Cavalry, stationed at
Odeltown, under Captain Sweeney. It
is reported that dispatches were found on
his person, written by Cote, Nelson, &c,
to various individuals in town, and that he
declared he had received from a servant
of DR. Nelson, but that he was not aware
of their contents. II.

tered over the head, to which the young
worms instinctively attached themselves,
and the bachelors head was thus oppor-
timely relieved from greater load Of live
stock than had troubled it for many years
before. He now considers his caput the
best cocoonery in Connecticut.
