OHIO LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature of Ohio has been in session
for several days. Parties were so closely bal
anced, and there being so many contested
seats, that an organization was rendered i'm
possible, and the scenes that followed the
meeting of the parties at the Capitol, was any
thing but harmony. The democrats took pos
session of the Hall OF the lower House, and
the wings assembled at another place THUS
things stand at last dates, or at least the par
ties had not reconciled the matter. The Bal
tmore Sun Of the 18th, says:
''The proceedings of the OHIO Legislature
mp 10 Saturday night present the same state of
disorganlzation. The Senate had been bal
otlng all day for Sergeant at Arms, and the
democrats still continue to hold possession OF
the Hall of the House without recess or adj
loumnent. A committee had been appointed
TO procure clergyman to preach to them on
Sunday. All propositions for compromise
! had failed"

THE CHOLERA.

This dreadful scourge has made its appear
ance in New York. It seems to have been
brought there by the ship New York from
Havre. There has teen 43 cases of this dis
ease, and 20 deaths, at the Marine Hospital at
Staten Island, New York, most of them being
passengers from on board the ship n. York. One
death, we see by Geographic dispatch IN the
Baltimore Sun, of the 18th instant, has occur
red in the city of New York. The following
is the dispatch alluded TO -
NEw YORK. Dec. l2-6 P. M.

FOREIGN.

The Steamer Britannia arrived at Boston on
the 9th inst She brings dates from Europe
seven days later. The advices from the con-
tinent are important and alarming, and seem
to threaten total subversion Of things.
In Austria, the Emperor, Ferdinand, char
acterzed his success in Vienna by atrocity
and od-bIooded cruelty far exceeding that
of the popuiace in moments of their greatest
excitement. The details of his barbarity are
too Numerous to be given by themselves
Suffice it to say that defenceless citizens
have been shot dead in the streets under
the ewes of their rfled and plundered hou-
SEES even women and children have been in.
discriminatory mastered. The students Of
the university, who were distinguished above
others in the defence of their city, by almost
superhuman eXertions are hunted down like
beasts, and, when captured. executed on the
spot.
This brutal and vindictive policy is raising
flame of indignation and fury which neither
King nor Emperor can ex'inguIsh, and, it is
believed, will make the reaction much more
| formidable than the late outbreak.
! In Prussia. affairs have arrived at a deplor
able state. The King had dissolved the As
sembly at the point of the bayonet, and pIa-
ced the city in a state of siege.
In Vienna there were 5000 killed during
the siege; the inhabitants suffering the lar
gest loss.
All was quiet in Vienna on the 5th instant,
no further disturbances having occurred.
LeIand.-This Inflated country still contin-
ues to suffer depression and misery. Power.
| ty and starvation find their places among the
poor. The country is tranquil and without
| political or general news OF interest.
France.-It is understood that there will be
but three candidates for the Presidency in
France, viz: Lamarsine. Cavaignac and Louis
Bonaparte. 1t is considered certain that the
latter will be successful.
England.-There is nothing of speaial i'm
portance in the way of political intelligence
from this country.
The Bank of England remains in about the
same condition as regards her pei centage and
other discounts, as at the sailing of the prevj-
Gus steamer. The loan operations with lie
United States have to some degree assisted
the par value Of exchange.
The ChoIera.-The cholera still RACES to a
considerable extent, and since it first broke
out there, FIVE hundred and fifteen deaths &C.
Cured from the fatal malady.
England generally is tranquil-ne political
news of special moment.
COna'nerciaL-A feeling of greater confidence
begins to prevail among all classes of the
mercantile community. Still. the transactions
lin the produce markets are not extensive.
Cotton is held with more confidence, anc
the existing rates are regarded as extremely
low under the uncertainty which still exist:

THE LEGISLATURE,

We refer the reader 10 the letter of our Raj
eigh correspondent for the latest news from
Raleigh. 1t will be seen that Richard Nj.
Pearson (whig) has been elected to the Su-
preme Court bench. One balloting was had
for U. S. Senator on Tuesday, Badger come
within 8 votes of being elected. A private
Letter from Raleigh informs US that the Fede-
ralsts have majority Of on joint ballot
This, we presume, is to be accounted for in
the contested seat Of Capt. Berry of Orange,
and the vacant seat Of Mr.. Fleming of Yancy
We had hoped that the Democrats would have
been able 10 postpone the election until these
two seats were filled, but it seems that the op-
position are determined TO have every thing
their own way, and they have consequently
deemed it prudent for them to go into an cleo
ton of u. S. Senator without full Legisa-
ture.
