are wide awake. The suffering that has benumb-

Enough will be knows by the rising OF the sun to-

Ngw YonK, November 7.
New York city has again surrendered TO the Lo-
cofocos. with a majority Of from l,500 10 l'5OO.-
About SO. 900 votes have been thrown-a decrease
Of about | 500 since last Fall. The apathy OF the
mercantile community, and The disposition to Try
the worst as the shortest way to the end, have lea
10 this result in the city. The peculiar character
of the currency at this moment, and the severe con
traction Of the banks, have unnamed many OF their
old defenders just at this moment. The Bank OF
6cers Of the old clque, such as Preserved FISH
C.. w. Lawrence, Ct al. voted the whole Locoioco
ticket. and when thus wealth will take such nos
truns, numbers will follow.
From THE CousTRY, however, the reports are
to this hour as favorable as they were last year
Duchess, Ulster, Albany, and Rensselaer, give chez
ring news. The Wings in Albany have strong
hopes that they have carried the i bird DISTINCT
the battle-ground of the State. RIchmon Zone
member has gone over to VAN BUREs. Kings is
as il was. Queens ia doubtful. Letters from the
interior speak with great confidence of the ability
of the country to take care OF the State without the
city. The Van Buren, party have now to gam fye
members over last year in order to take the stale.
A most important decision of the Supreme Court
of this State threatens to annihilate our whole sys'
tenn Of Free Banking under the new law. The
Judges have decided that they are corporations;
that to create them required the two-thirds vote OF
the State Constitution; and iba, the act, If passed
by two-thirds, is constitutional. The effect Ct TINS
decision il is impossible to foresee.
From VERA Cruz we have, by an arrival last
night, news in forty days. The French brig Naiade
had lust received on board the last INSTRUMENT Of
the $500 900 agreed to be paid to France by the
Mexican Government. The Republic was tran
auil. The Central Government is firmly establish
ed. By this arrival here 500, 900 in specie was
brought.
From CANADA we learn that Sir GEORGE AR
THUR c~ontemplates the dissolution of the Provin-
cial Parliament, and the submission of the political
questions now in debate TO the electors The re-
formers have urged this, and there is a fair Proba-
bility that they will slip into power.
Ia consequence of the Collectors refusing to re,
ceive Treasury notes for bonds but on restricted
and embarrassing conditions, these notes are on
the fall, and now below par. What these condl-
tions are, | wish to inquire into before | state
them. The Government, however, seems to be
throwing discredit, by its course, upon lis own pa
Der.
