News FROM THE EAsT.-The news
by the last steamer but adds to the sus-
pense we have been tormented with
since the election. The color of con-
frmation is barely given to the opinion
all along entertained, that Buchanan
had gained majority in the electoral
college. 1t is quite probable that the
people have endorsed Pierce and his
policy triumphantly, yet there is still
left room to doubt. 1t was impossible
to declare the result all over the Union
to a certainty, twenty-four hours after
the polls were closed. 1t is possibly too
great an assumption to set down Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and Florida for Bu-
chanan, though the chances are strongly
in his favor in these States. Of the
northern, Buchanan is reported to have
carried three-Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Indiana. Those parts of Penn
sylvania heard from, probably, as in the
October election, are the most strongly
Democratic portions of the State. The
eastern counties are soonest in making
known their vote, and there Buchanan
was to expect his strength. Western
Pennsylvania will serve to pare down
the Democratic majority of the east, if
not to overcome it entirely, of which,
however, there is little hope. On the
other hand, Fremont is reported 1000
ahead in Illinois His strength is ex-
pected to come principally from Chicago
and the northern half of the State.
which has sent returns to the newspaper
market, leaving different story, per-
haps, to be told by the more inaccessi
bic south, which does not sympathize SC
strongly in the freesoil movement. Il
is not certain, therefore, that Illinois
may not yet be counted among the
States for the Democratic nominee.
The result of the election, from the
meagre returns, is footed up as follows:

THEATRE-Frisbie & Bain's new

IHEATRE.-FrlSble " Dam new
Theatre was opened for the first time
on Monday evening last, with one the
largest and most fashionable audiences
that has ever gathered together in this
city. The scenery is supeib, and We
can truly say there is no theatre i'll the
State with which it will not compare fa-
vorably. The Drop Scene is a splendid
representation Of the Golden Horn, Con-
stantinoplc. The seats aie cushioned
and very comfortable. In fact, there is
nothing connected with this establish
ment but has been done regardless of
expense. and much credit is due Messrs.
Frisbie & Balm for the manner in which
it has been executed.
The company now performing here
is one of the best. The plays selected
Monday night were the "Merchant of
Venice" and the "Widow's Victim. -
Mr.. Warwick, in the character of Shy
lock, is spoken of by all as having done
admirably, He is young and talen-
ted actor, and becomes a favorite in all
the places he visits. With such men to
support him as Rand, Paullin, Mellow
an, Ferguson, Hanks and others, with
the assistance of the inimitable Wood
ard, Ia perfect trump of comm edian, }
everything passed off to the satisfaction
ofall present. OfMiss Deming, Mrs Leon
ard, Mrs. Claughley and Mrs. McGowan
we can say much in their favor as actress
es of good standing in their profession.
Mrs. Leonard, in her comical character
of "Jane Chatterly," in the "Widow's
Victim," made quite "hit," and hen
comic song had to be repeated to satisfy
the admiring and delighted crowd
Every member of the company per
formed his individual part in a manner
which convinced all present that his
whole thought and soul were devoted il
excelling and in giving satisfac
ton to the audience. We noticed
one thing in particular that there was
no prompting needed; each and all hat
their parts well committed to memory.
On Tuesday evening, the plays o
the "AIiller's Maid" and the Cavalier
Secret" were played to delighted
audience. Mr.. Warwick as "Giles,
Rand as George" and Miss Deming al
"Phebe," elected rounds of applause
and the inimitable Woodland, in his eff
forts to become 'great author" ant
write a "horrible tale" kept the risible
of the audience continually excited
The Cavaliers Secret" was played
admirably, and gave general satisfac
ton The "Miller's Maid" was repeated
on Wednesday night, by request, to ;
large audience. Thursday evening
there were three good pieces played, tt
the general satisfaction of all.

The ELECTORAL VoTB OF CALIFoR-

The ELECTORAL VoTE OF CALIFoR-
NTA.-The act of Assembly makesit the
duty of the Secretary of State to open,
on the first Monday of December, the
returns of the election held in the differ
ent counties of the State, and count the
votes received by each candidate for
Elector IF President and Vice President
of the United States. 1t also requires
that on the same day he shall certify to
the Governor the number which each
candidate shall have received, where
upon the Governor is required to issue
his certificate of election to the requisite
number of electors having the largest
number of votes. The act presumes
that the Clerk of each county will, bv
the first Monday of December, have
complied with the duty. imposed upon
him, and have forwarded to the Secre-
tary of State the returns in his own
county. This, however, in the present
INSTANCE, is a most violent and unpar-
donable presumption on the part of the
act of Assembly-for the Clerks of no
less than nine counties have failed to
send IN the returns. These counties
and we think it but proper that they
should go upon record-are Colusa,
klamath, Marin, Plumas, San Bernar-
dino, San Luis Obispo, Siskiyou, Tulare,
and Yolo. For the Clerks of Tulare
and Klamath there may be some excuse
for this negligence, but for those officers
in Yolo and Marin there is none. The
effect is that the result is declared and
certificates issued upon the vote of a lit
tie more than three-fourths of the coun-
ties of the State. The following is the
vote made up by the Secretary Of State,
yesterday, from the returns forwarded
to his Office. They comprise the thirty
four counties not enumerated above:

in the heavens. As a proof of the per-
fection to which the science ofastronomy

with which the return of a comet has
been determined after an absence of
three hundred years, we append the
following from number of the New

The GREAT COMET OF 1S56.--We

probable return, during the present year.
OF the great comet Of 1864 and 1856
with tail of ninety degrees and mucf
historical celebrity. We now perceive
that MIR. Hind, distinguished English
astronomer, who has furnished the best
accounts of the comets observed during
many hundred years, has enlisted Pro
fessor Littrow, Of the Imperial Observa-
tory of Vienna. in his enquiries. The
result is the discovery of the original
chart and observations Of the celebrated
astronomer, Fabricius, and those of the
Nuremberg observer, Joachim Heller
Their opinions, supported by that Of
Haley, confirm Mr. Hind in his own,
that this magnificent comet may be mo-
mentarily looked for. Its appearance,
says Mr. H., is near at hand

The MONEY MARKET.-The tighten
ing of the money market naturally sets
the brains of thinking men to work to
ascertain the cause. In a country
whose staple product is gold it would
seem there ought to be no lack of mon
ey. Facts, however, CLEANED from ev-
cry days experience, warrant no such
impression. The truth is, we furnish
the world with currency, to our own
deprivation. 1t tmay with safety be said
that no country within the reach of the
influence of California gold, is e ted
so frequently with stringency in the
money market as the State producing
the very thing it so frequently wants.
1t is evident there is some arrangement
in the commerce Of the State or nation.
or we would not thus be so often affect
ed. Cattle are to be found with those
who raise them; coal and lead can be
obtained with ease at the places where
dug; cotton is plenty in South Carolina;
but less money is to be found in the mi
ming region of this State than any where
else. The complaint is general, there
is no money. The credit system pre-
walls, and must continue till some plan
is devised to keep at least moiety OF
the millions we annually produce, at
home. What becomes of the yearly
product of our mines, estimated at eigh-
ty millions of dollars? The reports OF
the shipment of specie at New Y ork will
partially answer. During the week
preceding the sailing of the last steam
er, s1,S91,724 SO, according to the Her
aid, were exported to foreign countries
and it was expected two more steamers
to sail in few days, would each take {
million more. The extensive, direc
trade which San Francisco and othe.
ports in California, have with Asia
South America, Mexico and the Island
of the Pacific, adds no inconsiderabl,
sum to the amount leaving our shore
for the convenience and enriching O
other countries,
tits no wonder that our currency j
wofully depleted when such facts ar,
known. 1t is matter calling forth ou
thankfulnsss to Heaven that the season.
are as propitious as they are. The pro
longation of the dry season six mo- tn
beyond its average length, would drain
the state of its last dollar, bankrupt Ney
York and produce panic such as tn
commercial world has never yet expe
rienced. The shock would be most Sc
verely felt in the United States, for tn
straining to keep American credit intac
would draw to the lowest figure the cir
culating medium of the country.
1t become us to enquire, considering
the brink on which we tread, if
remedy can be applied as preventa
tive for disorder liable to appear.
To this question we may devote
thought hereafter.

better watch around it. Because their

they should give prisoners such good
chances for escaping as they have late
