TO pass as it came from The House, has been

A Vino VICroRY IN NEw ORLEANS.
The election for Mayor Of the city OF
New ORLEANS, which took place on Mon
day week, resulted in the success Of Will
liam Freret, the Wing candidate, oy a
majority of three hundred and fifteen
votes, being (according to the Bee a
larger majority than was ever given to a
Wing for that office. The Bulletin says:
"The result may be regarded as very
great triumph. The actual majority is a.
bout fifteen per cent. Of the whole vote,
and it was achieved under the most ad-
verse circumstances. The excitement
growing out of the closing Of the Com.
mercial Bank not only kept great num-
bers from tho polls. but the opponents OF
Mr.. Freret were not TOO slow to take ad-
vantage of the occurrence and endeavor
to connect his name and the Wing cause
with the fallen institution. The new
branch, too, of the Democratic party, the
'friends of the Administration" went in
to the contest with great zeal, and cast
the whole weight Of Government inhu.
ence against the Wings. Motwilhstand-
ing these odds, however, we have the
satisfaction to announce a Wing triuph
and we believe i, to be the forerunner OF
a series Of successes, calculated TO jevel-
ope the full strength of the party, and
place it in the most commanding position
il has ever occupied.

there were no great amount Of furniture destroyed

AT About hali-past IL O'Clock, on
Thursday night last, we felt the shock Of
an earthquake which was almos, ifnot
equally as severe as the one felt on the
evening of the 9th uliimo. So we're
was the quaking of the earth that it a
reused many of our citizens from their
slumbers. The vibrations, from what we
learn from those who felt the quake when
it commenced, must have continued about
a minute. The noise caused by the sha-
king aud rafting Of our doors, chairs, Ia
bles, &c. woke US when we suppose the
shock was severest. The gentle undul-
atory motion Of tho earth at the time was
calculated to produce quite pleasant SEN
sstion, had not the mind been filled with
the grandeur Of the power Of Him who
can thus "shake terribly the earth. -

The above earthquake was also fell
at ST. Louis, Missouri, and Nashville,
