NEW YoRK, April 10.
Fhe charter election of Tuesday last, resulted,
as was expected, in the ELECTION of Ex-Recorder
H. H. Morris, the loco foco candidate for Mayor
though by greatly reduced majority. The locos
have also carried maj ority of the wards, though
the wings have majority on the aggregate vote
for Aldermen of some three or four hundred On
joint ballot the Common Council stands, wing ID;
loco 20. Last year, wing 10, loco foco "a. Ma
jority for Morris 4. f. 437; loco majority last
year ,617.
On this day week I forwarded you copy of
President Tyer's address, which, am sorry to
see, did not reach you in time for your paper of
last week. The address meets the universal ap-
probation Of the wing party and has totally allay-
ed any fears that may have been felt to the
course President Tyler intended pursuing. A
very large and enthuastic meeting held in
this city the other evening, at which the senti-
ments of the address were warmly commended,
and the same ard ent support promised the ad-
mnstration of President Tyler that had been
given his lamented predecessor.
No little uneasiness was caused in this city
yesterday by the rumor that the dwelling of Har-
From a Cincinnati paper which arrived this
morning, am happy to learn that the building
but slightly injured by fire, only the roof of
one wing having been in flames, and that no in
jury was done to the furniture and but little in
convenience sustained by the afflicted family.
On Friday eve the ship Panama arrived from
Canton, bringing news nineteen days later than
,l,,+ &c nr;t;
err allowed the Panama to pass the bockadng
squadron a special act of courtesy to the
American flag. The news by this arrival is not
of particular Importance. The British fleet had
been got ready to attack the Bogue forts on the
2Sth of December, but on the 9th more favora-
BILE ''chop' arrived, and negotiations re-
sumed. 1t appears that the English are getting
along no faster in their negotiations with the
Chinese concerning the Opium than they are
with the United States on the matter of the boun
Diary line. The Panama brough n very heavy
cargo of Teas to Messrs. Griswold.
The letters of Mr.. Biddle upon the manage
ment of the United States Bank, have created no
little sensation. Various opinions are held as to
the propriety of that gentlemans conduct, and
may say, public opinion is not yet fully made up
upon the subject, but it is certain that they have
done no little toward relieving him from the
many injurious imputations which have hereto
fore rested upon his character. 1t is the general
desire of the advocates for new National Bank
that the old monster go into liquidation and
leave a clear field for to be established upon
more secure foundations and more guarded and
restricted in its privileges. That such one will
be established and that its location will be Wall
street, there is now no doubt, but probably not
before the next session of Congress
On Wednesday evening Mr. Coleman the dis
tinguished agricultural writer of Massachusetts,
delivered lecture, upon his favorite subject, at
the American Institute. The substance of the
lecture was very good, and the few hits made at
some of our city habits told we'll. Though the
lecture was gratis, the room was scarcely more
than halfflled.
The Great Western is hourly expected, but
up to time Of writing this 60 o'clock P. Nj } has
not made her appearance.
