The Elections.

The western mail OF tonight is crowded with returns
We have lost member of Congress in Indana-ganed
one in Kentucky-lost certainly in Alabama; and
there is some danger that Davis (whg) has beaten Chap

In Tennessee the signs not cheering. In the last
gabenatorial election between Aaron " Brown and Fos-

Nashville Banner (whig) of last Monday claims gain
in all the counties already heard from OF about 5o and
it anticipates decided victory for the wings. The
"Nash vile Union of Saturday last evidently fears the
result of the election in the State Among other devel

VIvK LA BAGATRLLE.-The stories Of the
Guelphs and Ghebelines, of the Montagues and
Capulets, ofthe Bianch and the Neri, all founded
in human natureS are reproduced in the course
of time, like trees and animals, and clans and
other productions of land or water. In electri-
city there are negative and positive forces; so
are there, also, in fashion and music.
The recent organization Of fashion and socie-
ty in this city, and the opening Of the new Opera
House, are beginning to produce their natural
effects upon the other sections of society, who
think they have as much talent, wealth, taste,
and good sense, as the subscribers to the Astor
Op ra. iWeIunderstand that the residents of
down town, and OF the squares in the central
and lower parts of the city, are determined not
to be annihiated by those who reside in the up
per regions. Efforts will be made to bring out
new opera, combined with the ballet, and to
get up different set of subscribers, perhaps at
the Park order to form counterpoise to the
movement in the upper regions and round Union
Place.
Well, success to it. We shall wait to see what
result may be produced. In the meantime, we
would advise the manager Of the Park to take
seriously into consideration the union of the
opera with the ballet, as a counterpoise to the
other end of the town, and to give the down
town fashionables an opportunity to get up at
fractions for themselves as powerful as those of
their antagonists at the other end of the city

AT WHOSE EXPENSE 1.-The albany Evening
Journal, in some remarks on the cost of the
Mexican war, and the existing national debt,
states that the "editor of the Ne,o York Herald
has been abroad at the expense of the American
government"
There Is a slight mistake in this statement
We admit the soft impeachment that we have
been abroad but not at the expense of the Anne
rican government. A higher power paid those
expenses, viz the American people. We were
absent in Europe eighteen months, travelling in
France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and all
over England. We stopped five months in Paris,
and four in London, during the most important
part of the year, collecting information and study
ing public affairs. The expenses OF this trip cost
US nearly t,oenty thousand dollars, every cent of
which was paid from the fund contributed by the
American people without any protest at the rate
oftwo cents per copy for the Herald and fifty cents
per square for advertising. After paying our ira
yelling expenses, which were negotiated by Au-
guste Belmont, Esq, of New York, and the Roths-
childs, of Europe, we had on our return home,
over and above our expenses, nearly t,oenty thou
sand dollars, which had accrued during the
same period of time, to our credit in the hands
of our bankers, Persse and Brooks, of Nassau
street. This amount we mean 10 pay out for
new presses, new machinery, and new engines,
calculated to make this journal the greatest organ
of public opinion that the world has ever seen
We never received cent from government,
and never expected cent We carried govern
nent dispatches as favor to them, and that
was all but we never shall do so again, for they
are more trouble than any thing else.
We, therefore, call upon our amiable contem-
porary of Albany to correct his statement
