For Secretary of State there was no choice,
christopher f. Robbins wanting 745 votes to elect
him. Joseph NJ. Blake was elected Attorney Cen
enl by majority of 1868, and Stephen Cahoone
General Treasurer by 1888. The oath of office
was then administered TO the Governor and Lieu
snant Governor, by the Secretary of State, and
nthe Attorney General and General Treasurer by
the Governor. The Governor was then escorted
to his quarters. While the usual salute was firing

The New York Tribune gives a table ar
ranged to show as nearly as possible the ac-
tual sympathies of the members as between
the two great parties dividing the Union.
In it are placed Messrs. Booth Of Con.
necticut, Julian of Indiana, Preston King
of New York, Wilmot of Pennsylvania,
and Durkee Of Wisconsin, Gall distinctive
Free-Soilers, it is believed, in the Loco
foco column, because they severally lean
that way. Messrs. Mann of Massachu-
sets, Sprague Of Michigan, Tuck of New
Hampshire, Campbell and Hunter Of
Ohio, and Howe of Pennsylvania, are
placed in the Wing column, because they
were elected mainly by Wing votes, are
in feeling and principle Wings, and it is
supposed will vote for a Wing Speaker
whenever called upon to choose between
a Wing and Locofoco. In the 1ribune'S
table, M. Allen of Massachusetts, and
Messrs. Giddings and Root of Ohio, are
not classed. II gives the whole Wing
strength on this basis 112 votes, and the
Locofoco 115. II classes with the Loco
focos three Taylor Republicans from South
Carolina.
We should judge, from the article we
have repubIished from the Charleston
News, that the Taylor Republicans will
vote for the Taylor candidate for Speaker.
The News says that the Taylor Republi-
cans will, Gin good faith, wait the devel-
opments Of the policy of the Administra-
ton before they condemn in advance, or
commit themselves in support" 1t IL
reasonable TO suppose, from this intima-
ton, that they will not support candi-
date for the Speakers chair in opposition

The steamship Great Western, Capt. Wolfe, from
St Thomas, on the LIST, and Bermuda ON the 10Th
of November, arrived at New York the morning
of the 18th, with fourteen passengers, and $1,000
in gold dust.
The directors Of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company have issued orders that the New York
route from Bermuda be Discontinued by their steam
ers, ut the end Of lSi9.
BY the Great Western, we have Bermuda papers
TO the 9th instant, and Barbados TO the 25th Of
October
From the latter we learn that in Barbados, as in
Jamaica there is Legislative turmoil the subject
Of retrenchment, the expenditure exceeding the
revenue. As in jamaica the necessity Of curtailing
seems to be admitted all hands, but il is hard q
agree upon the channels in which the process shall
~ made TO operate.
The island of Trinidad il declared "infccted,'
and put under quarantine by the authorities Of the
island of Grenada, because OF the prevalence Of o
cutancous disease, thought 10 be the smallpox.
The weather at Barbados, October %, is dc.
scribed as all that could be desired especially for
the planters. Firstrate crops expected accord
ingly.
Prosecutions at ST. Lucia have resulted in the con-
vction Of John w. Todd, for treasury defalcation-
sentence, transportation for seven years-and the
flight Of Jean Marie Papn. A Mr. Hanley il also

thortes Of which we're to be applied TO for his arrest

Massachusetts Election.

The Boston .Atlas of the 18th gives re-
turns from 274 towns, leaving 39 towns
to be heard from in Nantucket and Dukes
county, and Barnstable county. Cover
nor BRIGGS will lack some 1900 votes of
a majority. In the counties in which the
coalition for Senators took place, the
Wings have gained handsomely over last
years vote. In other counties the vote is
very light.
The Wings have certainly elected 81 OF
the 40 Senator'S, and probably % Senators
are elected. The Locofocos and Adolf
tionists are elected in MiddleseX, Worces-
ter and Plymouth. In Franklin and Hamp-
den, no choice.
The House will be Wing by from 60 to
10 majority. The fraternizing between
the Locofocos and Aboltionists has been
complete; yet the Wings are triumphant
in every department of the State govern
ment.
In the Fourth Congressional district,
THOMPSON, Wing, received $3.50 votes
PALFREY, Free-Soil, 4,752; ROBINSON,
Locofoco, 1924. AT the September trial
THOMPSON had 1870; PALFREY 4,123 ;
ROBINSON 1,44S. The majority against
PALFREY in all the towns in the district,
with the exception of Harvard and Hop
kintown, is 3,432 at the last trial, 695.

The memorials of John Parrot, case Of
the Matador of William S. Parrot, Of
the firm of Parrot s Wilson of Ann Y.
Kelly, administrators of Henry Lee OF
Sanforth Kidder, and of Sidney Udall-
were severally rejected.
To prevent misconception by claimants,
we remark that no final disposition has
been made of any case by the Board at its
present term. The receipt or rejection OF
claims is merely decision by the Com,
missioners as to the state of the case made
out on the record.
We deem it useless to publish the
causes assigned by the Board for the re-
lection of memorials, for the reason that
the parties themselves are advised thereof
through proper sources, and the public
have no interest in the matter.

ELECTION MicHIGAN.-The returns received
justify the belief that the Locofoco majority in the
recent election will be about 5000. Upon the re.
suit, the editor of the Detroit Daily advertiser makes
the following remarks
Several causes in combination operated TO pro-
duce this result, the leading and prominent one
among which the dissatisfaction of the Wing
party with their ticket. Many Of our friends looked
upon union Of Wings with the Free-Soil party
upon any terms, as pregnant with mischief, and as
having a direct tendency 10 dendtiondlize the Wing
party. Many Wings, who were in favor of union,
disliked the terms upon which this union eff
fected thinking that in the present numerical ratio
of the two parties too much was conceded 10 the
Free Soil party upon the ticket; while still another
portion were actuated by strong distaste towards
the gubernatorial candidate, on both personal and
political grounds. These combined pro-
duced general apathy through the State in the
Wing ranks, and gave rise 10 open opposition to the
ticket in certain portions of the State, giving to our
opponents easy victory and large ma joritY,
although a corresponding apathy prevailed in their
ranks The precise relation of parties in the Leg
slature cannot be accurately told at present, al,
though il is certain that have secured q respect
able minority, larger probably than have had
for years"

THE RUSSIAN AND TURKISH NAvrEs.-The Pressc,
in a letter from Constantinople, 9Th instant gives
the following details Of the strength OF the Russian
and Turkish navies " The present strength of the
Russian navy in the Baltic is-onc ship of the line
of 100 gums three Of 40, fifteen of 81, twelve of ~
thirty Of from 90 TO "a, some corvettes and briggs,
and about twenty steamboats,; in the Black Sea
there are-three ships Of the line of 40 guns three
Of no. seven of74, eight frgates Of co. and ten Of
a. some corvettes and briggs, and twenty five
STEAMBOATS,. Tho latter Of these two forces would
be the only one with which Turkey would at pre-
sent have 20 contend, for the Baltic fleet will be very
shortly blocked up by the ice. The personnel Of the
Russian navy consists of % admirals, ~ captains
first rank so Of the second rank, and oil heuten
ants; the number Of scamcn is about $4,000. The
officers are wanting in instruction and theory, and
the men in practice A proof Of their want of skill
clearly shown at the battle OF Nayarino. The
Turkish squadron, under the orders of Mahouk
Pacha consists Of two vessels Of 100 guns, two Of
IOO three Of 30, one Of 81 Of 80 Of So, and
one of44."

New York.

The Senate is Wing without doubt, but
the House still remains in doubt, with the
chances against the Wines. The result
will probably be known only by the official
canvass. The election of Messrs. NOR
GAN, w. HUNT, A. HUNT, and SEYMOUR,
Wings, is settled; while there is but little
doubt of the election of Messrs. JEwETT,
CHATFIELD, and CLARK, Locofocos. The
Albany Journal does not, however, con-
cede the election of Mr.. FoLLETT. 1t
still thinks the chances in favor of Mr..
BEACH, who runs considerably ahead of
his ticket in Columbia, Oneida, Washing
ton, Lewis, Oswego, and several other
counties. The official returns from Gene
see county go to strengthen this opinion.
II has been reported that Mr.. FoLLETT
was 200 or 300 ahead Of his ticket in that
county; whereas the figures show that Mr..
BEACH is but ninety-one behind the high
est WIG candidate. A Geographic de-
spatch states the majority for HUNT at
LOIS, and for BEACH 9S4.

the members elected to the Senate:
