The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1855-11-08


We continue this morning the publication Of re-
turns Of the recent State elections In New York
all is still enveloped in perplexirg fog, but the
DRIFT runs so strongly in favor Of the ticket headed
with the Of Joel 7. Headey, that the election
of the Know Nothing candidates for State OIL
may be safely cassed among the certain
ties. With regard to Senators and Assemblymen,
returns afford no indication Of the future
political character of either branch of the
Legislature and this remark also applies to the
judiciary tickets In this city the additional re-
turns confirm the views expressed by US yesterday
Owing to the crude and unsatisfactory condition OF
the returns we have RETAINED from giving any de-
tails of the respective votes cast for county and city
officers. The list of the elect, which we publish
elsewhere is, according to the information within
cur reach, entitled to the prominence given to it.
In Massachusetts, the Know Nothings have elect
ed their whole ticket for State officers by plu.
rality OF from ten to fourteen thousand, Governor
Gardner leading his colleagues nearly five thousand
votes. Both branches OF the Legislature will be in
the hands of the Know Nothings. In the Tenth
Congressional district G. c. ChafEee, Know Nothing
has been chosen to fill the vacancy occasoned BY
the resignation of Mr.. Henry Morris.
In New Jersey, of the six Senator's elected five
are democrats. The House Of Assembly will I'M
doubtedly be democratic, but by what majority can
not now BIC stated with positiYencss. Tie county
officers chosen are democratic in large majority of
instances The result Of the election in this State
Is important, as it almost ensures the election of
two United States Senator's Of democratic politics
In Maryland yesterday, an election was held for
members Of Congress- Comptroller and Lottery
Commissioner, and it is believed that the Know
Nothings elected their candidates by handsome ma
jorties.

BY the arrival of the Asia at Halifax, we have
three days later advices from Europe. The news
which it brings is not of much importance.
From the Crimea, we learn that the Allies con-
tinued TO move forward Systematically into the in
terror, the Russians falling back on their fortified
positions. The French and Sardinians had adj
vanced from the Tchernaya and Baidar line, and
the posts of the former were at the last accounts
within nine miles of Bakshi.serai also close to the
Russian position at Aibat and Argal, where, if at
all, the Russians must make stand.
At OtchakofI, following their usual tactics, the
Russians had blown up Fort Nicholas and the other
occurred between Kinbum and Nikolaief. The Car
had left the latter place.
Although TIE belief still prevailed that the
northern forts of sebastopol were gradually being
abandoned, their fire against the Maakcff and the
French quarters on the south side continued as ac-
tive as ever. The Locdon Morning Post states
that General Simpsons successor has been ap.
pointed, but does not mention his name.
Anhourb tho late aucrnzens of tbo AIIiaa ba1
caused some dependency at 81. Petersburg, every
thing indicateda firm intention on the part of the
Car to persevere in the war. A fourteenth levy

From the Turkish account Of the late attack on
En-r, e appears hat the loss Of thc Russians
in that affair was 1000. The Russians had fortified
al the passes leading to Tfis.
From a curious editorial article in the London
Times it would appear that the object OF the British
government in strengthening the West India feet
i to interpose barrier against any f.bustering
descent upon ireland from this country. The famous

seems to have excited more alarm than we had an.
sicipated on the other side Of the water.
