ARRIVAL OF THE PROMETHEUs.

The Result i'm Nc. York.

About six or eight weeks ago, twelve
Locofoco Senators at Albany suddenly
resigned their seats, and broke up the
legislature of New York, when the ap-
preparation and several other important
bills remained unpassed. The reason of
this move was the determination of the
Wings to pass bill for the enlargement
of the Erie Canal, and the inability of the
Locofocos to prevent it, for want of mem
bers. So caucus was held, and it was
determined that they should resign, and
refer the question to the people. \ ncw
election was held on Tuesday last, and
all the resigning Senators were again
Candidates except one, who was frighten-
ed off by another Locofoco who came out
as an independent candidate. The re-
suit was the defeat of all but three or
four Of them, and the election of good
Wings to Eli their places. Not more
than four Anti Enlargement men are E.
lected. There is Wing rejoicing.

Riot al RObOkeIs.

A dreadful Riot occurred at Hoboken,
opposite New York, on the Goth ult. 1t
seems the Germans of New York, accom-
panied by their wives and children, to
the number of ten or twelve thousand,
went over to Hoboken to celebrate their
annual May festival. In the afternoon,
while partaking of a pic mic on the grass,
disturbance took place between them
and some young men of Hoboken and
New York. The Germans allege they
seized their sausages and drank their
beer. The Germans repulsed them, beat
ing them severely, but the rOwdies after
wards were reinforced in large numbers
by the Irish, and a terrible riot ensued,
in which several persons were killed and
number severely wounded-among the
latter a justice of the peace, who was try
ing to maintain order.

Last week some further testimony, In
this matter, was taken before JUDGEeLo-
CUM. The result of that days examina-
ton was proving three illegal Uotes glven
to II B. W5fght, in Jefferson Township,
and a fourth one probably.
On Mondy last, JUDGE SLoCUM was
again engaged in taking testimony. On
that day, sac illegal cOteS gicen to II, b.
Wright, in Blakely were proved-fve
others probable.
The three illegal votes given to Wright
in Jefferson, were put in so slyly, that
the manner of their finding their way IN
to the ballot box is worthy of notice
A respectable citizen of Jefferson teS-
tilted that in counting the votes for Con-
gress, it was found that 80 were for
Wright. In counting the votes in an
other box. relative to altering the consti-
tuition. three more votes for Wright
were found in that box, snugly folded in
side of Amendment votes. Each ofthese
votes, or rather each slip of votes, when
opened, as VIC gather from the testimony,
read thus -
