Trinity Church, NeD York.-A record has
been preserved Of the persons buried in the ceme-
terry Of this church, since l702, excepting during
the years Of the revolutionary war, when no
account appears to hsve been kept, and it is
stated by those who have examined that 160, 600
bodies have been there deposited. A city Of the
dead truly is this, containing piled up, one above
another, in its confines a mighty mass, equal to
the half Of that which daily swsrms in the streets
and dwellings Of the great metropolis Of the new
world.

Singular LamsuR.-An English paper says that
a curious lawsuit il going on in Pes,h, 10 Hun
gary, between a butcher and a cattle dealer.
The butcher had lent 900 1ofins to tho dealer
who some time afterwards, called on him. as he
was at dinner, and laid down a note for l,Gp0
aorins, thanking him for the loan. The win bw
being open, the note was blown by a gust Of u nd
Into the soup tufeen. The butcher took it int,
and holding j. by the corner to allow the grease
TO drain of, it was seized by his dog aud swallow.
ed. Perceiving that he had done WRONG, the
dog absentcd himself, and did not return until
the evening. when he was killed and opened; but
the note was of course, by this time wholly digcs.
ted. The butcher has brought an action for the
900 forms, which the dealer refuses to pay
twice over, considering that the note having gone
into the hands Of the butcher, he alone ought to
support the loss.

The Election---Today.

Today the election for Mayor, Aldermen, and other
public officers takes place, under the new act for
preventing illegal votes being struggled into the bal
lot boxes of this city.
We have already given full statements OF the pre-
liminary arrangements, which have been prescribed
by the new law, illustrated with lists, map OF the
city, copy Of the law, and other incidental inior-
nation. The election today begins at sun rise ana
ends at sunset, meantime by the dial of ST. Paul s.
1t closes in one day, and in this respect differs en-
tirely from all preceding elections in New York
This city is divided into "a districts and by this
division il is probable that we shall ascertain the
general result-that the Mayor, at an early hour
tonight so as to enable US to give It to our readers
with note and comment tomorrow
The election today in New York is curious ex-
periment-not only on new law u conduct 'he
xstipr-but also on a new organization of parties.
What the result may be will battle the best Pohu
cal calculator because it is impossible to ascertain
with precision, what influence the various new ele-
ments may have, that now brought into the con-
test The new Registry Law is particularly OBJ
noxious to the dcmocrats-but how deeply it may
affect the popular result no tell Again, the
Tippecanoe movement, since ITS birth, has been
spreading over all the upper wards, and how far
that popular element may conflict with the unpopu-
larty of the Registry Law, is equally as difficult TO
ascertain.
1.-THE wings in the Legislature had never touched
the old election law at ALL il is opinion that they
would have stood better chance at the polls-and
como out stronger at shutdown. The new party of
Tippecanoes wcre and all, against any agitation
or movement on the election law, the police
courts, or the aims house, but they were overrued
by the obstinate financial influence of Wall street,
which never moves at all but it moves wrong and
wrongheadedy But for this state of things, we
think the locofocos would have stood a fair chance
Of being completely demolished. They saw this
position of things, and soon as the wings made
the wrong move, they seized il like drowning men
catching at straws. Yet we arc not sure whether
the dexterty and sanctty Of b. F. Butler the smooth
tongue of John McKeon, or the blunt barney Of
Elijah Purdy can prevent the great counter TiPPe-
canoe current, originating in the upper wards from
pouring down upon them like the torrent OF Ma
CARA.
We are on the tenterheok Of expectation We
wait with breathless impotence for the returns to-
night, to ascertain the solution OF this curious
promblem, whether the Tippecanoes are strong
enough on their legs take the city OF New York,
or whether they have to erect a few more log ca
bins. and drink a few barrels more Of hard cider
Wen know tonight, and our readers shall know to-
morrow.

room with the children was a small furnace contain
ing a portion Of gnited charcoal. On her return,to
her horror and astonihment, she found the elder
child had left the apartment, and the younger had
been placed on the furnace and had Actually steced
to death. The jury found a verdict Of accidental
heath.
