The result, which it required no coniurer to pre-
dict has at length been accomplished Tammany
Hall was the scene OF riotous exultaton last ey n
ing over the defeat of the Wing and American Re-
publican forces. For particulars of the result of
the election refer YOU to the journals OF the even
ing. HAvEMEYER is elected Mayor by plurality
OF six or seven thousand votes. The Locofocos
have carried their Aldermen and Assistants in every
\ ward OF the city except the Third and Fifteenth,
where the Wing candidates prevailed. Mr.. HAVE
MEYERS vote falls short but three or four hundred of
the combined Wing and Native vote Mr.. Sell
DENs vote IS not two thousand more than that for
MORRIS FRANKLIN last spring. II is evident that
the great body Of the Wings have stood aoof from
the contest unwilling to contribute to the success
OF Locoiocolsm by voting for Mr. SELDEN, and at
the same time reluctant to go against the regularly
4 nominated tlcket OF the party by voting for Mr.
HARPER The result that was naturally believed to
be inevitable under these circumstances is now
matter of history. The city patronage is once more
III the hands of Locofocoism, and the swarms of ex
pectants who have been disappointed in procuring
fayors from Mr.. Polk will now turn their attention
to the new Corporation. State, City, and Federal
patronage will hardly be enough, however, to satisfy
the insatiate brood whose political services are
given, in the expectation OF suitable return to the
dominant party.
| The American Republicans had meeting last
night, and some of their speakers expressed them
selves in terms of vehement denunciation against
the Wings for their defalcation, as it was termed
Such attacks will only help to restore unanimity
to the Wing party of this city. We will not there
fore find fault with them. Although not Of the num-
Der OF those who rejoice at the election of Have
meyer over Harper, shall be well content if the
defeat of the American Republicans shall have the
effect, anticipated by many of re-untng our scat
tered forces and preventing another frian galar con-
test like that through which we have just passed.
i Further particulars in regard to the wreck of the
Swallow, opposite Hudson, reached us this morn
ing. The loss of human life is even, greater than
was anticipated. Six bodies have been already
found. One lady died from fright after being car
ried in safety to the shore. Some of the incidents
connected with the disaster truly tragic.
| The Rector OF ST. Georges church in this city,
Rev. JAMES MILNoR, died last evening in the seven
y-hrst year OF his age. He presided at the meet
ling OF the Board of Managers of the Deaf and Dumb
Institution few hours before, where he seemed to
be In perfect health DIR. M. was native of Penn
Isylvania, and practiced law at one time in the city
lof Philadelphia. He was also member of Con-
gress and took an active part i'll the discussions of
1872. lie was chosen rector of ST. Georges cha
pei in 1916, and held the post up to the period Of
his death. He was universally esteemed, and led
J life OF active henevolence, never being weary of
well-dong."
4 The stock market was dull to-day as usual. A
great robbery was committed on board the tow-boat
Clinton of Peughkeepsie on the 7th instant Five
packages containing $4,000 in bank bills were
stolen and traces of the thief have as vet been
discovered.

E The official returns of our late election have not
, yet been made public but it is certain that we
should have had no choice of Mayor if the Boston
plan of requiring majority to elect prevailed here
Al Now that the election is over, the ofce-hoders
arc looking with fear and trembling to Washington
ri IN the expectation of general and remorseess pro
scription. We have mysterious hints from the let
ter-writers of important changes that will undoubt
eddy be made in all the lucrative offices, the presen
!. incumbents of which were appointed by Mr.. TYLER
: 1t is to be hoped that the public interests will no
be made to suffer by any precipitate removals o
undlgested appointments. This principle of givns
the spos to the victors however important to part,
cohesion it may be, is cruel and demoralizng one
I'll and 1t is great pity il ever engrafled on ou
! republican system. How many families are at this
moment wretched, in the expectation of seeing theil
heads cut of from employment by the merciless
guillotine OF party.
In Brooklyn and Albany the causes that operated
here have been successful there placing the City Govern
ment in the hands Of the Locofocos Mr. ParoE the Polk
candidate for Mayor in Albany, has been chosen by MAORI
y of "a In Brooklyn Mr.. TALLMADeE elected over Mr.
HALL, the Wing candidate. The united majority of the
Wings and American Republicans is 34l.
Our hotels have rarely been much crowded as at the pre-
sent moment is matter Of difficulty for strangers to
procure good accommodations unless they apply for them in
advance Mr. WEBSTER is still at the Astor House He is
to argue in this city soon Mr. AMOS KENDALL and
Mr. + O. J. SMITH are here making arrangements for the
establishment of the magnetic telegraph between this city and
Washington.
