The inquiries respecting the prospects OF the

quency and intensity every week and every day, as
the decisive hour approaches In consequence of
this intense feeling of anxiety, the results of the
State elections they presented, are examined
with a degree OF minutcness and philosophical
acumen, which are perfectly unparalleled, except
by the voracity OF the ostrich, or some other IN
tensely hungry animal In fact, the Office. seekers
on both sides, now appear to have appetite Tor
political news far outstrippng the cravings OF any
other animals in existence, either TWO legs or
four.
We are. therefore, teased every moment Tor an
expression Of our opinion and calculations, relative
10 the great result-in consequence, probably, OF
the fact, that from distinguished position on
the top Of the great fence higher fence than that
which surrounded Paradise after Eve ate the
golden pippn, and together with her lord and mas
ter, was driven from these bowers Of primeval
happiness-they expect TO get from us the true and
accurate view Of the results that may be anticipa-
ted. In obedience to those repeated queries, and
earnest exhortations we, therefore, proceed TO
give opinion of the result of the election held
IN Vermont-and we may soon expect a similar
opportunity OF expressing opinion in the case Of
the election in Maine.
Well, the result of the election in Vermont is
very curious in a variety Of aspects The increase
OF the abolition vote-the decrease Of the locoioco
vote--and the stationary character Of the whs
vote, are almost perpexing to the political phio-

RETURN or THE FAsHIoNABrEs TO THE Cry =
During the last few days the idIe-the fashionable
the elite-the gay-and all the travelling communi-
ty who have been sojournlng at Saratoga-the
sprnes-the mountains-and the sea-shore for the
last few months, have been returning TO the city.
Perhaps there never has been season during
which Saratoga, and the other places of summer
resort, have been crowded as they have been
during that which is just now closing All the old
frequenters OF such places have been thrust aside
by the crowds OF new visilers, new people and
parvenus. We understand that Saratoga presented
an entire mass of new faces, both male and female.
such as was never seen there before. This drove
all the other iashionables TO Sharon Springs, and
other places but all are now Aocking back TO the
CITY,
For the next month or two New York and ts
environs will be remarkably gay. The strangers
IN the city are more numerous than we ever re-
collect in former years, and we understand that
the places OF resort in the neighborhood are making
great preparations for the reception of visiants
We may mention amongst these the Hamilton
House, Clifton House, New Brighton, and various
other places-all Of which are now open and ready
to receive all who may desire TO spend the yet re-
naming weeks of hot weather in the cooluess and
comfort Of the country. OF the places in the i'm.
mediate neishborhood Of the city, we believe that
the Weehawken House is shut up Nowlan's at
Prospect Hill IA charming pace-has been lately
reiitted in very elegant manner This place is a
favorlte resort Of equestrans, and The numerous
parties who drive out on the Boomingdale Road
aud Third Avenue. Olher places of the same des-
cription also ready, and altogether the prospect
of great gaity and yeliness in the fashionable
world for the next two months is very brilliant.

The Gas MoNoPoLY.-Why do not the consul
mers Of gas in this city call public meeting and
make an effort to have some reform made in the
gas monopoly Of this city previous to the coming
electlonl The complaints against the gas compa
MES for high charges have been numerous and loud
for years past, but no redress has been Obtained
The only alternative, and indeed the only proper
course at any rate, is to form a combination Of the
gas consumers, for the purpose of commencing an
agitation on this subject, by means Of which they
may operate the candidates for seats in the State
Assembly. Three or four, or even five thousand
OF the gas could easily be got together.
and if they would resolutey unite in obtaining from
every candidate a declaration Of his willingness to
relieve the city from the pressure of this monopoly
they could very easily get rid OF their grievance.
In Philadelphia and Boston some reform has
been obtained. The prices of gas have been low
cred, and the mode of measuring it made more
equitable But here there isnot the slightest chance
Of obtaining redress, unless the course we have
pointed out be adopted. Let the gas consumers al
once call public meeting for the purposes we have
indicated.

MUSICAL CRITICISM Most of the musical critics
IN this city are men of taste, judgment, and gentle
manly feeling But there few who appear to
be quite the reverse. Amongst this little, dsrepu
table class, is the musical critic of an obscure pen
ny paper In this city, with very limited circula-
tion. We perceive in its columns yesterday, a
violent, lmpertinent, and ungentlemanly attack on
Mr.. Pamo, and all the principal female artists con-
necled with that establishment. The imputation of
dishonesty, which this ungentIemanly pretender to
musical criticism cast on Mr.. PaImo, will meet
with the most indignant rebuke of all who know
the worthy proprietor of the opera house. II Mr..
Palmo have any great, characteristic virtue, is
that Of honesty. No man can justly cast the slightest
reflection on his honor Amid all the difficulties
which he has manfnly encountered in his liberal
and energetic effort to establish the opera in this
city, Palmo has maintained, in every particular,
his honorable reputation, fulfilling all his engage
ments with the strictest fidelity. The impudence
and injustice OF the attack made on him in the CO.
lumns of the print in question: are indeed equalled
only by the despicable source whence they pro-
ceed.
With respect to Borghese, it is quite unnecessary
to say word in vindication of her character from
the assaults of such critic. Neither do Md'lle
Desjardlns or Madame Otto, require any defence
in su n case. The thrust at Madame Otto is in
deed OF such nature, must for ever degrade
hun who makes 1t in the estimation OF every one
pretending to manhood. That lady is in all re-
spects worthy, talented, and estmable member
of the musical profession, and we are very happy
to learn that she is now rehearsing some of Mr..
Jones' beautiful operas, and that she will soon ap-
pear in them in public, where she is always sure of
meeting that kind reception TO which her talents
entitle her.
Who can this critic of the True Sun be /! What
member OF the kitchen literary society in this city,
who thus assails every respectable and talented fe-
male artist, musical, and dramatic? We should
really like to know who he is, and an indignant
public would also, we are convinced, gladly avail
itself OF his discovery, in order to bestow on him
the reward which his magnity and blackguardism
merit
