From the baltimore Patriot
New York EIection.-NEw YoRK, Nov s,
p M.--The election is progressing to-day under
much excitement A terrible riot occurred at the
Sixth ward In this city. The rioters took full
possession Of the polls, broke open the baot-box,
in the most high handed manner, and scattered
the tickets TO the Winds thus rendering null and
void the vote Of this ward. A good deal OF fight
ing and intense excitement. II Is now raining.
Arrival Of the Ell D0rado.-NEw ORLEANS,
Nor THE steamer FL Dorado, from Aspnwall,
has arrived with 400 passengers, and Sl,oooO0o in
specie.
The San Francisco papers received by the
Daniel Webster contain important intelligence
from the Sandwich Islands. DIR. Judd has been
removed from his Office as Minister of Finance,
and Elisha w. Allen, late United States consul,
appointed in his place.
A decided step has been taken by the govern
ment towards the annexation Of the islands to the
United States M
The French and British consuls protested to the
king against such an act and the American CON-
missioners had replied in firm and dignifed man
ner. This movement has caused much excite
ment throughout the islands.
Arrested.-Our readers will remember that we
stated on Saturday morning mysterious affair
had taken place, in which an unknown man was
knocked down while quietly walking along Coates
street, near Coates alley. Since then the wounded
man has been discovered. His name is Louis
Fearrer. He resided al ia Vine street II ap-
pears that Fearrer was passing down Fourth
street with two friends, when Emory, without the
slightest provocation, made an attack on the in
offensive Germans. He was armed with heavy
club about four feet long, with which, il is alleged
he struck one of the friends of Fearrer iremen-
dous blow on the back. He then attacked the lat
ter, and knocked several teeth out, broke his nose
and otherwise abused him in shocking manner.
While the officer was pursuing Emory, the Ger
mans made their way home. Emory was on Sat
urday held by Mayor Howell in 81 900 10 answer
the assault on Fearrer, who was al that time un.
known, and in $500 additional for beating Ger.
man, named Frederick Bower, at an earlier hour
in the evening. This last assault it is also al
legged, was without proyocation.-PhA San.
The Recent Bank Failures, &c.-The New
York Commercial of yesterday evening, says
We mention upon official authority that the Me-
tropolitan Bank continues to receive the notes OF
the Bank of Oswego upon the same terms al which
il receives the notes of the other New York banks.
The Tribune says y" Mr. Dwight, we under
stand, owes the bank of Oswego $l30,000, which,
should prove total loss, (of which there is no
possible chance,) would still leave them 100000
OF their 100000 of capital untouched Mr.. Hew-
ell, one of the wealthiest citizens Of Oswego, has
guaranteed the deposits and has assumed the tenn
porary management of the bank"
The suspension Of the Patchin Bank of Buffalo,
now known to have occurred to-day, will pro-
duce, think, general surprise, for Mr.. Patchin,
its owner in addition TO the reputation of skilful
and successful banker, has been always under
stood 10 possess large estate not involved in his
banking operations This unexpected result has
been brought about, il is said, BY the large accom-
modations made by the bank in aid Of the Buffalo
and New York City Railroad Company, Of which
Mr.. Patchin is president and financial manager
and whose bonds, owing TO the stringent state oi
the money market are for the present totally un.
available. But the road, which is the shortest
and perhaps the most important connexion of the
Erie road with the lakes, is now entirely com
pleted, thoroughly equipped, and doing remuner.
ating business.
There seems little reason for doubling its ability
soon 10 meet its engagements and protecting the
bank from ultimate loss
The Bank being an association under the gene.

estate, in connection with the general assets OF
the bank, will doubtless be ample for the protec-
