Johnson's majority 3O2

A very close contest, certainly, con-
sidering the number of votes cast, and
under the circumstances, a glorious and
important Wing victory
One matter which has not escaped
the observer of passing events, is that
all the corrections on the reported vote,
bv the oi'lcia. returns, were against the
wing candidate. The reports were from
the announcements, made by the Judges
at the counting out Of the votes. The
election was in the hands Of Iocofocos,
and when it was found that the vote was
close, and HAT the result mightds altered.

the official returns; but they did not
quite defeat him afterwards.

Tur BOYS IN PowER.-There is not a sin
gle soldier M Vienna, with the exception OF u
few sentincls on guard at the Palace, and at
some of the gates. The actual seat Of govern
ment at present is the University. AL real
power is in the hands Of the students They
are looked up to by the National Guards, who
an their turn arc looked up to by the people,
The students have all the hot bravery of boy
hood the National Guards are awkward pla-
toons, and the mass Of the people, who have still
tha. fcebleness OF character which results from
long habits of servitude, are docile instruments
in the hands Of their new masters.
The University has assumed the appearance
Of barrsck the class-rooms have been con
verified into gaard-h houses, and the other apart
ments in the building into burcaux, where the
administration of the city is carried on. The
capital Of the empire Of Austria is in the hands
OF hundred or two boys, from l6 to 20 years
of age. One meets these little fellows every
where, in the theatres, cafes, and even the
churches, with long swords Changing at their
sides, and plumed hats upon their heads. As
they swaggcr with graceful impudence, through
the streets and public walks, the biggest men
and the proudest mobiles respectfully make way
for them. Vienna looks like immense school
room. where the boys have had a successful
"barring out" l have heard the opinion OF
some of the principal commercial men here on
the finances of the country, who all say that a
national bankruptcy is inevitable The nobility
are leaving Vienna for their country seats, The
city National Guards have no chief and have
no superior officers; they are merely an armed
mob. They receive all their orders from the
hoys of the University and obey them implicitly.
Such state of things must end badly. There
is no government, there arc no magistrates, no
police, no military; the city is completely aban-
doned to the students and the National Guards

Great Fire in Rreoklyn. n. Y.

Saturday night bchcld the most destructive
fire that this city has ever experienced. Ii is cs-
timated that from two TO three hundred build
ings have been burned making loss, at a rough
estimate, Of onc to ono and one half millions Of
dollars and this all occurred in the tricf space
Of 4 to hours. The fire originated on Fulton
street, either in paint or wooden ware store,
from the bursting OF a camphene lamp, at about
l / l-2 o'clock, and the flames spread 80 rapidly
As to battle all attempts to arrest them. The
Engines Of the city were ell promptly on the
spot, and some IL or IS companies were over
from New York, but their combined and pro-
longed efforts seemed to have but little effect on
the raging element, and many mai had to
stand by quietly and see his house or his store,
with its contents wholly destroyed, without the
least hope of saving anything Many family
that at night retired TO rest with an abundance
Of this worlds gools, found themselves in the
morning destitute Of oil.
Soon after the fire had got fairly started, there
sprung up u strong breeze, which for time car
ried every thing before it. But towards morn.
ing it became more calm, and changed its course,
which, together with the blowing up Of several
houses, enabled the fire department 10 subduc
this terrible conAagration The extreme dry
ness of the weather, coupled with short sup.
| ply of water rendered il particularly unfortt-
nate, and besides, many OF the buildings burned
were Of wood
We cannot learn, positively, Of any loss Of
life Mt the fire but it is said by some that one
or two men must have been burned up. Two
Of the New York fremen lost their lives in get
ting TO the dre-one by being run over by an
engine, and the other by being drowned.
The Brooklyn Insurance Companies must sns
fer severely, aud doubtless some of them will be
ruined. The New York Companies will also
lose heavily. We are informed by the agent Of
the three Hartford Companies, that they viii
not lose the whole three, over $4,000 in tina
aggregate, which is remarkably good luck
Among the buildings destroyed by this terri
bic confagraton, were the Po't Office, with q
part of Saturdays mail, the LIST Unversalisi
