EsIt is stated that arrests continue to
be made in Paris of individuals suspected OIL
conspiring against the life of the Emperor,
The conduct of his Majesty on the occasion
of his return to Paris, and since, gives the
impression to the public that these arrests
are based upon facts which fully warrcnt the
utmost rigor of the police. His entry into
Paris was private, unannonnced as regards
the hour, and made under the most cautious
circumstances. His carriage, which was
closed, was surrounded by mounted, men
and instead of passing yer the usual route
they passed rapidly through the city by the
river quays.

DR. SAMUEL H. Cox, in speech before
the Scientific Association at Albany, the
other day, made the following good points as
to the comparative size of Great Britain and
the United States He said he was once
talking with some distinguished titular per-
sonage who remarked that the people of the
United States were but the salvage of So
ciety. /" No WONDER" says tine Doctor, "that
you forget us, we often forget you. My
dear sir, we are continent, you are an is
land. Why, sir, if you will bring England
over as q steamer, We will find her lake
sufficiently large enough to swim her in.

The summer was the most pleasant ever
spent-cOol breezes tanning away the worst
heat of July and August at all times, and
the nights being cool enough to render blan-
ket comfortable during the whole SUMNER
The fall, except about two weeks of buster
ing weather in October, was an uninterrup-
ted "Indian Summer" up to the middle OF
November, when it gradually became mole
and more winterish until it reached its eli
max on the Odd of December, at which time
the "cold term" commenced.

admiration and pleasure.

I The City Belle arrived at the mouth Of
the St. Croix yesterday but was afraid to
venture up on account Of the ice. we are
indebted to II. f. Baker, Esq, of the firm
of Baker & Bangs, who came home by the
City Belle, for Chicago papers of the 7th and
Dubuque papers of the Sth.
We find the following despatch in the
Dubuque papers:
New York, Nov. I.
The Tribune says: We have nearly full
returns from the several counties of our
state, and the vote for President will be
nearly as follows: Fremont 100000; Blu
chanan 100000; Fillmore $4,000. We
think Fremont has more than $4,000 over
Buchanan; he certainly has beaten Fillmore
over 100000.
Brooks will hardly run ahead of Fillmore,
and is beaten about 100000 by Jno A. King.
Judge Parker beats him over $4,000. Mr..
Kings majority over Parker can hardly fall
below 10000. The rest of the Republican
ticket runs hi her. Tie members of Con-
gress stand 90 Fremont to Is Buchanan
The Republicans have good working major
ity in the Assembly-75 to SO. There are
Fillmore members elected, 2 from this city
from Rensselaer,, from Erie county.
Fremont's plurality in the Free States as
far as heard from foot up 10000. Buchan-
ans majority in the Slave States, 67,543.
KENTUCKY.
Fifty-onc counties in Kentucky show q
Democratic gain of 100. The State will
probably go for Buchanan by from 5000 to
10000.
INDIANA.
The telegraph lines in Indiana are dowr
this evening.
Buchanan's majority in the State will b.
about 10000.

badly exceed that of October.

Poor Old Wings /!

The rotten old Fogies of,the former Wing
party supported Buchanan, or did what was
less honest and Straightforward, voted for
Buchanan's stool-pigeon, Fillmore. They
have succeeded in electing the man who was
the basest enemy of the great head of the
Wing party, Henry Clay, in its days of ex-
istence, but where do they find the young
and vigorous element of their party? In
all the Northern States it is on the side OF
Freedom. Take for instance Rufus Choate
and Geo. Evans-old Wing leaders in the
two most prominent New England States
They vii rot in their graves before a co: po-
rails guard of the true Wings of Massachu-
sets and Maine will ever re gard them with
any other feeling than that of loathing and
contempt.
So with that notorious political pimp,
Fillmore man who when accidentally
President, condescended to do meaner
things to aid the enemies of the party which
elected him than did ever John Tyler. What
doses of wormwood and gall he is now com
PEELED to drink as he reads the returns from
the counties of his own State The poor,
broken-down old political lacks who destroy
ed the Wing party have the satisfaction of
contemplating the fact that their masters in
the South have an opposition party in the
North numbering at least 200, 900 majority.

Steamboat Disaster on Long Island
Sound.

Steamboat Disaster on Long Island
Sound.
The Pioneer has news that the steamer Bay
State, Capt. Jewett, of the Fall River line,
met with sad disaster on the night of the
31st ult. She left New York for Fall River,
at the usual hour, with one hundred and fif-
ty passengers on board, When she was of
Huntington, Long Island, terrible crash
was heard just as the passengers had left the
supper table; the great working beam of the
engine, which weighs from twelve to fourteen
tons, having suddenly snapped off in the CEN
ter, crashing through through the hurricane
and saloon decks and the saloon stairs to the
gentlemen's capin. For short time the ut
most confusion ensued among the passengers.
If the accident had occurred when thew were
ascending the stairs from the supper table
the destruction of life would have been i'm
mense. As it was, Miss Blanchard, be-
longing to Brooklyn, New York, was scalded
to death, and S. B. Flagg, of Sank City, To-
wa, and A. j. Baldwin, of Yarmouth Port
were seriously injured, but it is thought they
will recover.
The steamers City of Hartford and Wor-
cester, which were in sight when the acct
dent occurred, Immediately bore down to the
relief of the Bay State. The passengers were
placed on board the latter boat and taken to
Norwich. The dead body of Miss Blanch-
ard, and also Messrs Flagg and Baldwin, the
injured men, were taken on in charge of the
officers of the Fall River boat.
The passengers of the Bay State held q
meeting on board the steamer Worcester. in
view of the sad accident which had occurred
The Rev. Benjamin Tappan, of Augusta, Me
was chosen Chairman, and Joseph Story
Esq, of Boston, Secretary, and the Rev. Ell
Thurston, of Fall River, and Jeffries Brack
EFT, Esq, of Boston, reported resolution:
commencing the officers of the Bay State fol
their GOODNESS, and condoling with the injured
and bereaved passengers and their frien1s
which were adopted.
