NEW YORK ELECTION.

Our latest accounts from Albany, under date Of
last evening, the receipt of official returns
from nearly every county in the State. The result
is, that the Wings unquestionably have majority
in the House Of Assembly, and only two of their
candidates on the State ticket are known to be
elected, viz: JAMES M Cook, State Treasurer,
and HENRY FITzHueH, Canal Commissioner. The
vote for Attorney General is close that it is yet
doubtful which of the candidates has been elected
to that Office. Nothing is said concerning the po-
stion of parties in the Senate which, according to
previous accounts, was tied, with Democratic
Lieutenant Governor to give the casting vote.
Supposing the above information to be correct,
the Democrats have elected ALEX. s. JOHNSON
Judge Of the Court Of Appeals; HENRY S. RAN
DALI, Secretary of State; JOHN G. WRIGHT, Comp
troller; WIN. ]. McALPINE, State Engineer and
HENRY STORMS, Prison Inspector.
This result will give the Democrats at least five
out of the nine members of the Canal Board, and
invest them with the power to control the expend-
ture Of the nine million dollars provided at the
extra session of the State Legislature for the en-
largement of the Erie canal.

The outbreak on the Rio Grande does not rise
to the dignity of revolution. The force under
'Carvajal is small consisting of Mexicans and Anne
rican citizens, who are probably not instigated by
any higher motive than plunder at present-though,
If able to obtain sufficient number Of men, they
might finally undertake to divest Mexico of por-
ton of her territory. Men banded together as are
those under Carvajal will not be very scrupulous in
their seizure or destruction of property; and it
will not be surprising if American citizens suffer.
We are glad to see from the letter Of Carvajal to
