OF the vast quantity of news from every drec
ten, with which our pages are again overfowing
to-day, the election returns from Pennsylvania and
Ohio will, of course, be looked upon by great ma
5ority OF readers as by far the most important To
be sure, these returns as yet exceedingly mea-
gre-it being still rather beyond the combined
power Of telegraphic wires! eteam, and horseaesh,
10 make entire reports from two such large States
ON the merning following tie poll-nevertheles
they tend to exhibit the feeling Of the people in the
different places heard from, with regard to the ap-

night, private despatch was received from an old
Philadephia politician, saying that the democratic
MINORITY in Pennsylvania would no. fall short Of
eight thousand, from the way in which the returns
werg coming in The returHs thus far received GER
tainly indicate that this old politician is about
right. However, we shall be better able to tell
how the matter stands tomorrow morning.
The three days. later European intelligence re-
ceiyed by the arrival of the steamer America at
Halifax, yese rday, is of rather more interesting
character than was brought to this port on the
day previous by the Franklin. The state of affairs
IN France, leaves nc room for doubt that not only
Louis Napoleon, but tho people of France generally,
we're prepared for the empire. Indeed, it is even
raid that the great event wouS be promulgated TO-
morrow, October 18th. While Louis has bee2 making
. tour through France, the Emperors of Austria and
Russia have both sued for the hand of the Princess
~ The late lady.love of the Prince Presiasnt
Tbe Austrian wisps, :. - we'd the fair one himself
while the Russian is anxiou, to secure hee Tor ms
friend, Prince Adslbert, Of Bavaria. The tngnsn
journals seem almost barren of news, if we except
their eritcisms on recent transactions this CONT

island affair But what will interest business men

closed firm at Liverpool on the lst inst.
According to the despatch from our special Wash
ington correspondent, President Fillmore is really
alive to the Importance Of being at any momentprc
pared to defend our national honor In consequence
of the recent demonstrations against our flag, by
the Cuban government, the steamship Powhattan
has been ordered to Immediately leave for Havana
where she is to lie, off Moro Castle Our correspon
dent also states that the Japan expedition will rem
devious at Annapolis; and that in addition to the
ressels already attached to this fees orders have
been issued to fit out the Vermont and Macedonian,
and sloop- of-war. These different movements and
preparations certainly have look Of importance
about them.
The speeches Of Gen. Scott at Sandusky AMI
Buffalo, given under the Geographic head, possess
rather more than usual interest. They arc longer,
and touch upon more important questions, than
many OF his previous efforts. He really seems to
be improving At San3usky, in allusion to the
offer Of the Mexican people to place the d.slrv If
