FIRST GUN FROM NEW YORK
DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT.
By the New York cIy papers, THE New
Era aud the Herald) OF this morning, we
learn that The whole democratic ticket is
elected in the city and county. In the
senatorial district, which also iBclude
Klas' aud QlGens' cos, aud elects two
senators, the democrats it is reported are
defeated. The city of New York alone
elects, we believe, Is members of the
House. This is good start for the leg.
slature.
The vote in the city is close, small
democratic majority. This is owing to a
most singular attempt Of the Catholic
Priest, Bishop Hughes to draw of the
memoels of his church TO separate tick
ct, for the purpose of throwing the power
of the CITY into the hands of the whigs.-
The preIext OF the Bishop, was dispute
growing out of the distribution of the
school fund. But this impudent Priest,
like Arthur Elliott, and other Church
and Stale bigots, was destined to short
political life, and final disgrace aud de-
feat. What will whggery not get up for
political power2 Bishop Hughes ticket
got 1000 votes!
Richmond. Kings and Queens counties
It'll believed, have all elected democrat

From New York City up the Hud.
son 10 Albany, it would seem, from our
returns, that the democrats have made a
clean sweep, with the exception of the
two Senators, in the New York City
district, as above mentioned. They
are lost, if at all, by loss than 100
votes.
Westchester, RockIand, Orange, Dut-
chess and Columbia have all given dem.

"We have reason TO believe that the
statement, published in the Express, and
purp0rting to come from Colt, was not
made by him. He has had no communi

he is charged, with either of his relatives
now in the city, the only persons who are
permitted to visit him."

Literary Curiosity.

The author Of work recently published in Par.
ris entitled lie Li,ve dcs Sngula4tes gives the f,l-
lowing ingenious siudy on the names of Napoleon
and Rohespicrrc.
With regard to the former, he has discovered
that by reducing Napoleon letter by letter from the
left, the following Greek words are produced, viz:
Napoleon, apoeon, poeon, olean leon, con. on;
Aud these words being arranged into sentence
stand thus:
Napoleon, on, con, leon, oleon, polcon, apoleon
Napoleon, etant, lelion dcs pcuplcs, ads, dcttu-
SAINT descte<.
Napoleon, being the lion of the people, went
destroying cities.
On this, the writer remarks:
ado not such results induce the helicfthat there
is reality in the mysterious influence formerly at
trbuted TO numbers and letters.
"But the following is still more remarkable.
Shortly after the revolution Of July, memorable vote
OF 22l members against lS established the new
government. This number called to mind great
victory of the paioc party under the Restoration,
and it was therefore generally received as prcpi>
tious event. The legitimists, however, felt little
pardonahlc soreness on The occasion, for 10 them
the 22l suggested the idea Of Ia queue de Robes
pityre and the Isl that Of less honncics gems.
"Now, in one of the provinccs an ingenious Car
list undertook a cabalisc study of the hated mum.
bers; and after great labor discovered that by Civ
ing to each letter in the two phrases a numerical
value corresponding to the rank it holds in the al
phabct, and then taking the sum of such numeri-
cal value for each phrase respectively, the number
90 is produced applicable 10 the name n;trbu.
ted by his party to the Liberals, viz: Ia queue de
Robespierre ; end the number Isl is made out OF
eminent appropriated to themselves, viz: les hon.

The q. y. Bank Case.

Tho suit of Kercher " the Bank fihe T.. s. was
tried on Wednesday last before Judge Stroud in
the District Court The plaintiff claimed the a.
mount of deposit with twelve per cent interest
from the time of its demand and failure of payment
in specie.
The question involved was, whether the Bank hy
making an entry in drpositors book that de-
posit is to be paid in current bank notes, current
funds, or any entry of a similar kind, can avoid its
liability to pay in specie. Judge Stroud decided
that the Bank had right to receive depositcs to
be paid otherwise than in specie, and that such con.
di'ons annexed void; he therefore directed the
jury TO find for the plaintiff, with l2 per cent. in
tercs from the time that specie was demanded and
refused.

Dr. Dyott.

The Globe has the following just remarks in ic
laton to the recent pardon OF this individual by
Gov. PoRrEn, in all of which every honest man
who is in favor of evcn-handed justice must fully
concur:
This unfortunate maker of shinplasiers was
prosecuted with terrible vengeance by that dignfed
class which has the privilege of monopoly in this
species of fraud, and making it respectable when
conducted upon a large scale and in fashionable
style. He was condemned to a term of impIison-
ment, equivalent at his age, to Imprisonment for
life. Gov. PoRrLn, blending mercy with justice
has deemed two years suffering in confinement sui-
cient expiation for the crime of the poor aputheca
~ banker, while society considers retirement to the
grapery sud gardens of Andausia (Nlr Bddles res.

He was sentenced if we mistake not 10 three years
Imprisonment, and had served nearly two at The
