LATE ELECTIONS.

In Io,ca the democratic candidates for Congress
have been elected. 1t is believed that majority
of the State Legislature is democratic which will
secure the election of two democratic L. s. Sena-
tors from that State.
In Kentucky the result, as far as yet ascertained
is quite as favorable TO the wings as they could
reasonably have expected.
In Indiana there is a wing gain in members of
Congress, and also in the State Legislature. r.
Dale Owen has been defeated in the first district
II. n. WELLS, Esq rendered his resignation a
member of the Council from Milwaukee to the
democratic convention of that county, but that
body le used to accept it.

STEAM HoD-CARRIER.-The contractors
of the Bay State mills now hoist their brick
and mortar by steam. A small engine is
stationed in the lower story of the mill, TO
which is appended an endless chain, rum
ming from the engine to the floor upon
which the workmen are engaged. To
the chain the hods of bricks and mortar
are fastened by hook, which is firmly af-
fixed to the hod. On arr wing at the top,
the tenders take the hods from the chains
and carry them to any desired part of the
building. man stands near the engine
to take off the empty hods as they approach
the floor by the downward side of the
chain. The labor of about twenty-five
men is saved by this ingenious invention,
which was first adapte d to this purpose, we
understand, at Lowell last-summcr.- Law

Lord PdlmerSf0n and /. s. DebfS.-
The London papers have made many COM
mcnts on the speech Of the Foreign Secre-
tary in the House of Commons on the 9th
inst. The Weekly Dispatch of the llth
takes this view of the matter:
There is a wretched Inconsistency
about Lord Palmerston's bravado. We
had much nearer approach to right had
we lnterpOsed to prevent the u. States from
running Mexico, from absorbing revenues
mortgaged to our subjects. But the United
states are too powerful; therefore Lord Pal
merston holds his tongue. Spain is weak,
therefore he busters. The other day in
the question of our nelarious interference
in Portugal, Lord Palmerston acclaimed
OH the great imprudence of holding out a
threat Of war never in any case to be ac-
complished. Yet he now holds out this
very threat on an occasion Oh which we
defy him to put it i'll practice. All Doc
tors Commons would tell him that he has
no right to do it, and all England would tell
him that he should not do it.
