| The Municipal Elections.
| The election for Collector Of Taxes, City Re-
| gister; and City Surveyor, (each to for two
/ years,) members OF the two Boards of the City
Councils, and Assessors in the Second Fourth,
and Sixth Wards, took place yesterday. The con-
! test at the polls of an animated character, and
in the main, conducted with becoming propriety.
From the returns which follow, it will be
that the entire vote cast over 5000 and that
the majority of Mr. r. j. Roche for Collector, above
all competitors, is about 455
Mr.. Fl. w. Ball is elected Surveyor by more than
700 majority, and MIR. VIM j. Mccormick is
elected Register by majority of upwards Of
! LOO.
The late hour at which we received the returns
(that Of the 9th Ward reaching US at half-past
one o'clock this morning) precudes us from
careful addition Of the results in the several Wards
| We did not receive returns from all the wards
as to the election of oficersby the people, but
enough is known to induce the belief that the ques
ton is carried by large majority.
The first named gentleman for Alderman in each
Ward, and the three candidates having the highest
number of votes in the several Wards, are elected
FIRST WARD.
