ELECTIONS.

1t may not be unintercsting to our readers
at present, says the Baltimore Patriot. to be
informed in regard to the time when, and
the States in which, the next electious take
place. The annual election in Kentucky
occurs on tho I'd August-in Tennessee on
the 6tll--in Illinois on the Sd and in India
ma during the same month. Illinois chooses
a legislature and three members of Congress.
This State is without a representation in the
popular house Of Congress at psesent. In
Indiana, the election is for members of Lc-
gislature. In Tennessee they elect COVER
nor and legislature, and as the latter will
have the choice of two United States Scna-
tors, that circumstance imparts much addl-
tional interest to the contest. The contes,
between Jones and Polk, the candidates for
Governor, is spirited one, and there is lit
tic doubt the former, who is the Wing can.
didate, will triumph. Our friends also anti.
clpate Wing majorities in both branches Of
the legislature. The elections for governor
and members of the Legislature take place in
September. In Maine the contest will be
very close. The candidates for Goyerno,
in that State are Kent (W) the present Gov.
ernor, and Fairfield, (L.F the late one
In Alabama, in August, a Governor and
members Of the legislature take place, wher
the loco focos most probably, as usual, will
succeed.

FROM CHINA DIRECT.

NEW YORK, Aug I've learn from Capt.
Dumaresq, ofthe ship Akbar, arrived this
morning, 100 days from Canton, that inn
mediately after the fall of the Boguc forts the
city Of Canton was evacuated by all who
could afford to leave. taking with them their
families and property, and when the Akbar
lett China street and the business part of the
suburbs were deserted, shops closed, and
scarcely any one TO be seen. On the news
oi'ie attack upon the Bogue, reaching Pc
kin the Emperor ordered three Imperial
Commissioners one near relative, to pro-
coed to Canton. and to cxterminatc the Eng
lish, swearing in his edict that both powers
could not stand, one or the other must con.
quer or perish. Keshen was ordered in
chains to the capital to be tried as a traitor
for having degraded himself so much as to
meet the plenipotentiary or to listen to the
cession of Hong Kong. Two of the impor-
tant characters reached Canton in time TO
behold the success Of the British arms and to
sign the truce and sanction a temporary
trade.
Captain Elliotwas at Canton, protected
by military guard, waiting the arrival of
"Yeksham," the Emperor's nephew. who
was hourly expected, and who would be
compelled, by force Of necessity, to sanction
the arrangements made by his colleagues
Four men-of-war are stationed in The Mocoo
passage, above Canton three few miles
below, and six at Whampoa, where thew will
remain, to insure the safety of the foreigners
and TO check any treachcry on the part of
local authorities. The other vessels are at
tho Bogue, Macao and Hong Kong.
Major General Sir Hugh Cough arrived
on the I'd Of March, as commander chef
OF the land forces. Sir Gordon Bremen was
gone to Bengal for reinforcements, but was
expected to return about the first of June.
when the fleet would 20 North again. to
make another demonstration upon the cap-
ital, Pekin.
The loss of the Chinese in the various en-.
gagements was estimated at $500 or 5000
men, and about 800 pieces of cannon. The
Chinese Admiral Kewang, fell in defence Of
the Bogue forts, as did two other madar,ns
OF high rank. The captain of a British trans
port, arriving at Chusan after the surrender
OF that island to tho Chinese, wasslain on
landing. The day after the fall Of the Bogue
forts rewards were offered for the capture
or destruction Of British ships; 100, 900
dollars for inc-of-battle ships, $4,000 for
steamer, $4,000 for the Admiral or Can't
Elliot iftakcn alive. and $4,000 for either
Of their heads.
Teas were high and scarce. The hong
merchants would deal only for cash, and in
sisted on being paid before the teas were
delivered. TWAS believed that the arran-
cement for trade could no, last long, and
that the foreigners would be again compelled
to leave for Macao. A large encampment
ofChinese troops was visible from the facto-
riss, at little distance from Canton, and the
number was daily increasing.-Comier.

The Liverpool Times of The Goth, speaking of the
elections, says The majority, we must acknowl-
edge IS considerably more numerous than we antci-
pated. 1t will probably be somewhat reduced when
Parliament assemblies, by the unseating of several OF
the Conservatives, who have been returned for
Irish cities and boroughs, There will also be great
number Of English members unseated by election
committees, though it is impossible to tell ut presen,
how this will effect The balance of parties. But sup.
posing that the Liberal party should gain something
considerable by the result of the committees there
will still be majority in favor of the conservatives
Of between 60 and 10 votes, majority amply suffi-
Gent for the purposes Of governnentAs far as the
government Of England and Scotland is con.
cernod, the new administration will probably differ
very little from the present one, and its foreign policy
may also be expected 10 bevery much the same. It's
commercial policy will however, be directly opposed
TO that Of the present government, and TO the inter-
ests of all except the privileged classes and it will
find no small difficulty in keeping its own friends in
Ireland, in any thing like order.

LIGHT

The political prospect brightens. We have scori
with pain and modification appearance of disunion
IN the Wing ranks on the State Ticket, which alarm
ed u.s. Two of our papers, came ont decidedly against
the nominations made in convention at Montpelier
and urged upon the wings the support of Judge Will
ans for Governor and the Hon Carlos COOLIDGE for
Lieutenant Governor. We trust and believe thai both
these gentlemen were presented without their know
ledge. Judge Wilains has come out in letter in the
Kirkland Herald which we have copied to day. and
declines unqiatedly standing a as candidate From
our knowledge of the character of Mr. COOLIDGE wa
entertain not doubt but that the exhibition of his
name as candidate for Lieutenant Governor, under
the circumstances on which it was presented is re-
pugnant 10 his wishes, and we have no doubt but tina,
he will take seasonable measures to make his sent
mepts known.

LATER FROM MEXICO. The brig Emilio,
at New Orleans from Havana, brought later
intelligence from the Mexican capital. The
capture of the Texan Expedition 10 Santa
Fe is corroborated, semi-olicial letter from
u high public functionary in the Mexican
capital having been received, stating expli-
city that the Texans had been all captured
and we're held prisoners. The same arrival
brings the information that five Mexican
Commissioners have arrived in Yucatan,
charged with special powers for arranging
with that state the terms on which she would
return as member Of the Mexican Republic
now that the mother had resumed her ack-
nowledged duty, and embrace! the fedora
repuhicanism of 1924. Most Of the Mexi.
cans believed that Yucatan would readily
agree to return and again become Mexican
state.

ruder circumstances the most painful. lie was
engaged in Mr.. Scots Saw Mil, and at work
alone, and was first discovered says letter
from Wells River, on the saw by young man
who was passing, who ran and pulled him from
the saw and gave the alarm. His head was
completely torn to atoms, and there is nothing
left but the skin. Some parts of his skull were
found under the mill. His right arm was very
much shattered.
From all appearances he had stopped the mill
in the middle Of the log, and, as the saw does
not always start when the gait is hoisted, pro-
baby he took lever or piece Of scantling and
pryed over the log to start it; the saw probably
fell and caught the end OF the lever and threw
him directly in contact with the saw''-Cale-
