and speculatons as to the causes of the same. Il
strikes me that Capt. Hosken, unless he can show
satisfactorily that he made proper allowance for the
welik known variations of the compass on board III
this be not bully Of iron ships, and also that his
chart was incorrect, (as mentioned in some of the
papers) will hardly be able to clear himself of oil
blame.
The evil results Of the recent political change in
Pennsylvania begin already to be felt in faltering
Of the public confidence waverng Of the State
credit, which was fast regaining firm ground un-
der sound administration OF the finances. The
Pennsylvania says: ,.......
"The defeat of VIM. b. Foster, the democratic
candidate for canal commissioner, is the seyerest
blow the credit Of Pennsylvania has ever sustained
The ascendency OF federal principles will also lose
to the State the services Of our interchangeable State
| treasurer. Foster and Snowden have been at the
very head cfhe great reforms in regard 10 our State
fath The Commonwealth has never had two
ADLER men in their respective departments. They
have been the principal actors in carrying out that
series Of democratic measures by which the reye-
nues Of the State have been enlarged, economy In
the management The p1blic works promoted, and,
as consequence, the semiannual interest paid, and
part of the State debt liquidated." ....
The Albany Atlas adds, with truth;
"Already we see estimates Of the capacity Of
Pennsylvania for more taxation, and we shall be sur
prsed II we do not soon witness attempts 10 reopen
its system Of public works. TO throw open its treas
ury to feeble and uDproductlye enterprises Of cor
porations, and to comme fresh experiment with
the public credit; for such things expected by
those who have contributed TO this victory Men at
taehed to stable and honest government, already
begin TO pause, and ask what Is 10 be gained by the
revolution Of State politics.

the United States,) specializing the other day upon
the armistice granted by General Taylor to the Mex
icans, thinks that the general acted wisely in grant
ing such terms.
Lest that your editorial scissors may miss an i'm
portsnt document, annex, from the Liverpool
Times ofIhe 18th ult., the protest Of the British gov
ernment against the Montpensier marriage:
"The British government has protested against
the marriage OF the Princess Louisa ofSpan, to the
Due de Montpensier, the ground that 1t Is likely
to lead violation Of that article Of the treaty Of
Utrecht, by which the Orleans, in common with the
other French branches Of the house OF Bourbon,
declared to be disqualified from reigning IL
Spain; and, also, on the further ground that the
proposed marriage is contrary to the terms Of an
agreement come To between the English and French
minis sters, the occasion Of her msesty's visit 10
the king of the French, at the Chateau d'Eu. The
latter Of these grounds Of objection II, probably
nothing more than an appeal to the honor and
friendly feeling of the French government, which u
free to listen TO not a its pleasures but the former
is appeal to the faith Of treaties, and the negiee
of il may, at some future time, be attended with
very serious consequences"
A pretty state of things, it must be in Europe
where boy and girl cannot get married withou

There is some talk now and then, of the largs
amounts carried of by foreign singers and musi-
clans, from our country. But our encouragement
of such people is primitive economy compared to
the golden favors showered upon them by some OF
the European capitals. Jenny Lind, the world
famed nightingale of the north, (l see by late
English paper,) has just obtained engagement at
Vienna for four months, three times week; for
which she is to have the sum Of $4,000 sterling,
and benefit, (probably from f300 to $500 more. J
Jenny is songster dear--clearly.
This climate of ours is certainly combination
of extremes. On Monday last thin ice was formed
at Harlem, and morning paper of yesterday ex-
pa tates, in glowing coors, upon bunch Of lilac
flowers in full bloom and odor, from the gardens
of Mr.. Vanderbilt, of Staten island. 81.

we matter-of-fact Americans would style an.

rather ga loud call" .-
Mr.. Wilmot's election seems beyond all reason
able doubt We feel here as if this were a con-
pensation for the loss of any other two candidates
in that State. Col. Medary's defeat in Ohio is
universally regretted. But for the whig gerry
mander, he would have carried his district triumph
an,ly.
There is rumor here, (by telegraph) not credit
ed, however, of an attack, by the Mexicans, the
Americans at Monterey, in breach of the armistce,

After all the flourish of whig trumpets--" Ohio,
all hail !n-"Ohio redeemed !"--"Glorious Ono p
and so on-the result there appears scarcely worth
such excessive rejoicings. A senate balanced; q
house whig by few votes; governor by about
| 1000 majority, is not a great achievement in the
,ohig State of Ohio. Still less when we come to
look at the means employed, the character of which
is indicated by the Cincinnati Herald, liberty pa
per, in the following extract:
"And so we suppose il Mr.. Bebb has been elect
ed governor of Ohio by dnt Of the most dgracJi
and objectionable fraud with respect to his opinions
on the black laws, which he has perpetrated upor
thousands of anti-savery men, it will bo haiet
throughout the country as a whig triumph. And 81
it will be-n triumph of whig principles over justice
liberty, and humanity" '2
| The various congressional conventions met agair
last night. One candidate only was so fortunate al
to obtain a nomination-Mr. Broderick, in the dis
trict now represented by Woodruff. ...
| The democrats of Philadelphia, perceive, arr
contesting the election of Lelar, the native sheriff
appreciate fully the calamity of native sheriff il
that county, and have rot the least doubt that h
owes his election to the fraudulent voting in South
wark yeti fear the efforts to contest all in vain
In our large constituencies, it is next to impossible
successfully to contest election. .a
