From the ALBANY Argus.

This triumph on the part OF Mr.. Seward has been
attained after severe struggle which has ended in
the return of most of the wings, who had embarked
in the know nothing movement, to their allegiance
to the regular organization of the whig party which
is strongly attached to that gentleman.
From the Albany Atlas.

vote for him. His enemies in the whig party had
not the courage capacity 10 defeat him Every
step they have taken for the last months has been
to help him. The Saratoga and Auburn
tons, the temperance movement, the ten million
canal debt, the election of Gov Clark, the organiza-
ton OF the two houses, and the formation of the
know nothing party, have all been essential to Mr..

Now that the State Bank has been re-chartered we

the probability mentioned in our despatch will be
charged into certainty. OF course the Legislature will
not make fish of one and flesh of the other.
1t will be that the despatch makes no mention
of any action or probable action in the matter OF the
increase of capital asked for the Commercial Bank,
from which it would appear as though the chances
for that measure very small, otherwise our
highly intelligent correspondent would have made
aIlusion to it. very short time, however,
will be sufficient to enable Us to know the final
result OF all these things.

Mike w alsh ON his Travels.

Mike Walsh, u member of the last Congress,
and now on a tour through England, is writing
home ONE characteristic letters, which are pub
lished in the New York Herald. lie thus de-
scribes a visit to a political club or society in
Liverpool:
".From a little printed bill which was handed

cussed by the society were the following:

minish crime 2

Are the people politically prepared for an

He had evidently read a great deal, but

all his illustrations, though seemingly conclusive

SHAME SHAMH!-ln Allegheny City, Pennsyl-
yania, n poor woman was lately committed to the
county Jail for thirty days for the small offence
of selling liquor. The poor, lone creature was
driven to this shift in order to provide for herself
and little ones. RemGrking on the occurrence.
the Bulletin, of that city, says:
The unfortunate woman was n widow with
four children, one being so young that she was
obliged to take it with her. She bewailed her
fate in the most heart rending manner, and de-
olared she could not survive her sentence. In
this state she continued until Tuesday morning
last, when it was discovered that She was dying.
AphysicIan was sent for, but before his arrival
the unhappy woman had breathed her last. Thus
four helpless children are cast ON the cold CHAR
ties of the world, and what have they t. expect
from a community that would incarceratc their
only surviving parent in a dungeon, and there let
her die. Oh, shame!'

DrsGRACEFuL lNsuLr.-The papers of Phila-

the Mayor of that city:
About three o'clock yesterday morning a pro-
cession, composed of persons who had been march
ing around, cheering the Democratic candidates
and newspapers, and grooming those of the oppo-
site party, went into Girard street, preceded by
a band Of music. A halt was made opposite the
residence of Mayor Conrad, and the house ofthat
magistrate was salutd with groans and yeils.-
The leaders of the gang directed the band to
play the '.Rogue's March" which the leader re-
fused to DO. The Mayor came out upon his steps
and addressed tho crowd; he said he vas n single
unarmed man surrounded by cowardly miscreunts
who had taken this opportunity to insult him, but
that he denounced and defied them. One of the
leaders of the gang ATTEMPTED to excuse the
conduct of his companions; but the Mayor refu
sed to accept any apology.
