THE ULLMANN PARTY IN NEW YORK

AS Clark received only about two-thirds of
the Wing vote of New York, and Bronson a
quarter of the =" Hard " vote, the inference is
fair that these two factions supplied the major
ity of the voters for Ullmann. The Know
Nothing Party then, in New York, may be re-
garded as principally compound of the self
styled National Wings and National Democrats.

Terrible Ravages Of the Cholera.

By the barque Ithonia, Capt. Morton, from

At Messina the cholera was making frightful
havoc, taking off from 800 to LOO per day.
At Naples, August 18th, the disease had
abated, the deaths amounting to about 300 per

creased to 20 or %.
At Palermo, 10Th, about $50 per day was the
number. The whole number of deaths at Pa
lermo was estimated at l3,O0O and at Messi-
ia at 45,000.-Nesc York Times.

Wreck of the ship New Era.

The New York papers publish the particulars
of the distressing shipwreck of the New Era on
the Jersey coast. The whole number of souls
on board the vessel at the time she struck was
about four hundred, of which only one hundred
and fifty-fve, including the officers and crew,
were saved. Those who visited the wreck de-
scribe the scene as heart-rending, and even those
ON shore saw dead bodies dangling from the
rigging, to which the unfortunate people dashed
themselves. Other bodies were strewn along
the beach, and some were taken from the vessel
The disaster occurred within four hundred yards
of land. From the statement Of the captain of
the ship, it appears that he was deserted by his
crew soon after the vessel stranded The YES
sci struck on Monday morning at six o'clock
and the passengers that were saved were not
landed till Tuesday. The coroner held an in
quest upon the bodies, and buried them in a
graveyard at Long Branch. A large amount
of money and valuable trinkets were found upon
the corpses, which remain in the hands of the
coroner. The surviving passengers reached
New York on Tuesday and Wednesday

One Week Later From California.

The steamer Northern Light arrived at New
York yesterday morning, bringing California
dates to the oath ultimo Zone week later than
the advices by the North STAR and about four
hundred and fifty passengers and 1864, in
specie.
The trial of Walker, of the Sonora expedition,
had terminated in verdict of not guilty.
Considerable excitement existed still in regard
to the Meiggs frauds, and the apprehension of
Smyth Clark the late Mayors clerk, charged
with having unlawfully detained in his hands
sums amounting to 100000, had added no lit
tie to the public Indignation. The latter was
in custody, and examinations had taken place
without his giving satisfactory explanation.
Hamilton Bowie, the late City Treasurer, had
also been arrested, charged with having fraudu-
lently taken away the books, papers, and mon
eys, belonging to the Treasury, in particular the
sum of $4,000 in city warrants which remain
unaccounted for by him. His defence was, that
the newly elected Treasurer had not complied
with the requirements Of the law, and hence the
Withholding of the papers, books, moneys, &c.
The case had not been decided.
The mines were yielding to the satisfaction of
the miners, and the return for their efforts was
all that could be reasonably expected.

The Baltimore american gives a comparison
of the votes cast at the elections held hhs year
with those cast at the Presidential election in

fairness, that paper gives only the nlajorities
obtained by the Democratic candidate FOR Pres

competitors The result is as follows

ILLINOIS.

1t would seem that the victory of the Repub-
licans in Illinois is not quite so decisive as it
was at first reported. The Douglas candidate
for State Treasurer has been defeated by Mil
Ter, Republican, showing that Douglas is in
minority of the vote of the whole State but his
champion, Richardson, it is now said, is re-
elected. The Tribune says:
Later reports from the Prairie State render
it probable that the following gentlemen have
been elected to Congress, that is, if we concede
the defeat of Yates and Williams in the 9Th and
9th districts, as is now asserted by some of the
Nebraskaite journals

Sandw1ch ISLANDS.
The Boston Chronicle publishes the following
intelligence from the Sandwich Islands, as com
ing from perfectly reliable sources:
:" BY recent private letter from Honolulu,
we learn that message will leave that city very
soon, for Washington, with a Treaty of Annexa-
ton, which has been drawn up in proper form,
but not yet sigued, as Judge Lee, who was
directed by our Government to witness the sig
natures of the instrument in question, has been
obliged to absent himself from Honolulu on
account Of i'll health and consequently has not
been able as yet to attend to the duty assigned
to him.
The Treaty is to be signed by all the Chiefs,
and they are each to receive pension, which
ceases with the death OF the recipient, with the
exception Of the pension to be paid to the King,
which is to be transferred TO Alexander in case
he shall survive his Majesty. 1t is understood
that the whole amount to be paid in pensions
will be somewhere from three to four hundred
thousand dollars per aunum.
" The property belonging to the present Gov
eminent of the Islands is to be purchased out
right by our Government for fixed sum.
"The above items Of intelligence may be re-
lied upon as correct, as they come from the
highest authority"

The Senate stands 10 Democrats to 10 Wings

will stand as follows:
"Whigs, 81; Democrats, 20; Natives, 4;
Temperance, 2; Independent Anti-Monopoly
Democrats, I.
"The total Autobiography force, including
reliable Wings and Natives, whose feelings on
the subject are known, with the Anti Monopoly
Democrats will be certainly more than ma
jority of the House, so that no farther aggres-
sons of the great power which has controlled
the State can be made during the coming win
ter. The number of members who, through the
manner of their election, may be considered as
pledged to the Prohibitory Law, is some eight
or ten, while it is probable that as many more
are favorable to the measure"
