The vote was but four hundred and four thousand,
while 1.-THE Presidential election of 1852 brought to
Me polls Ave hundred and fFty-two thousand; but
Il Is pretty wen known that an election for chief
magistrate of the nation elicits from seventy-fvs
thousand 10 hundred thousand more votes than our
ordinary annual State contests. If our judgment
should prove correct, therefore, in regard to the
number of votes polled, We have about sixty thou
Band TO hear from.
The excitement in regard 10 the result is now, we
may say, tremen dous, in consequence Of the close
ness of the vote, and all those who had quietly re.

minds that Mr. Seymour was for the second time

the official Cabinet exposition of our late puz-
cling election, let US briefly examine this very
spicy and amusing chapter from the Cabi-
net organ.
1t begins by saying there are generally two
sides to every question" We had supposed
that there were at least four in the general
question of the late election. Then we are told
that the result of the election "shows that even
fanaticism can be arrested in its progress by
united onset at the last hour" Encouraging
fact There was united onset" then, in
spite Of the cutting up of the old parties be-
tween Seymour, Bronson, Clark and Ullman.
Refreshing information But there is better
still to come.
"The New York election is an evidence of
returning reason" So says the Cabinet organ
This returning reason" means, Of course,
return to the administration. Where is it In
the vote for Governor Seymour No, for he
falls more than fifty thousand behind his vote OF
two years ago. and has less than one-third OF
the popular vote Of the State, Notwithstanding
the support of many wings upon the liquor
question. Is 1t in the elections to the As
semblyg No, for the coalition wings and
the opposition have an overwhelming majority
in that body over the eight or ten administra-
tion democrats Is it in tho elections 10 Con-

WAR IN EUROPE.

After an unusually long passage the Niagara arrived
Yesterday morning at Halifax. The most important
intelligence s thar the Gar entirely rejects the new
Conference at Vienna and renewedy refuses 70 recos
nize European Intervention in matters between Russia
and Turkey. The French Government have published
an official statement that the allied fleets have been
ordered into the Black Sea TO prevent attacks OF the
Russian feet upon the ships OF Turkey. And it is
thoritatively stated that the same Government Las
called upon Austria to cooperate with the western

is also preparing to send 10000 troops to Turkey

England the excitement against Prince Albert appears
to be more ardent than ever he is charged with be-

Russian, Austrian and German Courts. This affair
will come before Parliament in January. At

OPENING OF ADMINISTERED.

We give place in another column to the appeal Of
writer who resists the opening Of Absnyst through
the north end Of Trinity clurcbyari TO Broadway on
the ground that Il would be violation Of the last rest
ingplaces OF the dead This appeal is drawn from an
opinion OF the late Judge Sandford containing certain
expressions Of feeling uttered in ano hex in very
appropriate language but not entitled to any more
weelt than he pirate sentiments of any intelligent
citizen. Our correspondent quotes Judge SANFORD
TO remind us Of the sacred associations which attach
10 sIcl place but makes no allusion to the great
considerations Of public utility which require the
opening of the stree. in question, an keeps out OF
sight the fact tLat the OF that part OF the
town is immenFe-that convenient avenue from
Broadway TO the North River is greatly needed in that
very spot and that its opening will only cut OF the up
per end of the churchyard leaving it compact and
undivided as at present.
Tie sancty Of burial place is not TO De disturbed
without good reason but it well established that such
reason can be found in the necessities of the living
Instances are numerous in this City where the dead
have been removed to make way for streets. and even
for more private Improvements Indeed it would be
difficult to mention an instance in which graves
have been invaded than in the erection of the present
Trinity Church. This was all very necessary and
proper; and it will we presume be found impossible
TO make the public sacrifice its legitimate needs to con-
siderations which have been habiually disregarded
hitherto The reasons which require the conversion
into street Of slice from the upper end of Trinity
Churchysrd are valid and satisfactory, and we trust
are destined to prevail.
