In this State the Legislature, including half the
Senate, is elected annually. Last year the Senate
stood-A Wings to 26 Democrats; House, 40
Wings to 55 Democrats; being Democratic ma

Governor was elected last August by majority of

The Acadia is the next steamer due from Eng
land, and she will probably reach Boston on Sa-
turday or Sunday next She left Liverpool on the
4h INST, and will, therefore, bring fifteen days
later news.
1t is said, that in the event Of the arrival of the
steamer at Boston, after the mail leaves that city
on Saturday afternoon, and before Monday morn
ing, the government will forward her mail bags by
express, and thus anticipate the regular mail from
twelve to twenty-four hours. This is what the go.
vernment ought to have done long time ago. 1t
has been apparent to the public, that for the last
two or three years, we have beaten the post Office
almost often as the steamers have arrived at
Boston. This has aroused the government, and
they are now determined to act.

The LAZARUS OF THE New YORK PREss.-
Amongst the other charitable deeds which we
have been guilty of and unostentatiousy performing
every day for the last ten years, our practice OF
casting crumbs to the poor devils amongst con-
temporaries who will not dig, and to beg are not
ashamed. We have fed the Express in this way
for years, and yet, unlike his brethren OF Spain
and Ireland, Lazarus does not get fat, probably
because he curses instead of blesses the hand that
gives employment to his jaws-the only thing
powerful or industrious about him. That print
regularly steals from our columns. and publishes
what 1t lches in its evening paper, from which the
country papers COPY, and Of course give credit to
