that, owing to the failure of the managers at one
precinct in Hyde county to send in the result of the
election for Congress within the period prescribed
by law, that Lanes tdem) majority will be ttgo
over Stanley. The official returns were sent to
Washington, Beaufort county, where the sheriffs
met, and the question is yet undetermined as to who
is entitled to the certificate of election The Colds
boro' Patriot says: 1t is due to Mr.. Stanley to
state that he is reported to have told the sherfIs
that Lane was entitled to the certificate; !" but we
do not suppose that Mr. Lane will take advantage
of the fact it is evident that the House of Rep.
resentatives would give the seat to Mr.. Stanley.

ROUND ISLAND BL0oKADE--The Round Island
blockade continues, although, Of course, the fleet
will soon be victorious Commander Randolph is
closely investing the place, covering it with his
guns, and risidly excluding all supplies. We have
not heard that any effective resistance bv the be-
sieged will long prevent his entry A soop-of.war,
with armed schooners and steamers. beneath the
flag Of the United States, are heavy odds against
a few hundred unarned men, who little dreamed
Of being proclaimed into slate of war with their
own country, and treated as outlaws and enemies.
The Island will soon fall, we doubtnot, but whether
the Commander who achieves the victory will have
any cause to be proud of his successes, will, we
think, be doubted by all those who think-and
they are a vast number-that the whole naval in
reference with the Round Island party is arbitrary
and illegal We are informed that the Commander
will not be permitted to enjoy bis triumph, without
some lnterposition of the civil power, which he
has treated with contempt. The State of AIssis.

D-s- The meridian of New Orleans is recon-
mended by Lieut.. Davis, of the Coast Survey, as
the most convenient one for the computation of
longitudes in our American Nautical Almanacs
and at the National Observatory. The English
meridian of Greenwich is the one used by naviga-
tors, and there scientific objections to the use of
that, as the intervention Of the ocean, gives uncer-
tainty to the comparison of longitude. Sill a me-
ridian is desirable which affords easy comparison,
and that of Washington is inconyenient, containing
a fraction, the difference being 10 o. That Of
New Orleans is very convenient, being exactly 800
in space and six hours in time from Greenwich.
