CITY NTELLNENTE

The ELECTToN.-The excitement which prevail
ed W Wednesday was not renewed yesterday. The
news which arrived after night on Wednesday set
the matter to rest as to how the State had gone,
and little or no interest felt in the general re-
suit throughout the country. During the day the
newspaper offices were considerably besieged by
persons anxious to hear of the results in Virginia
and few of the other Southern States. The prin-
clpal matter OF enquiry was to hear from South
Carolina. 'What has South Carolina done?'' was
asked by nearly every person. No definite answer
could be given to this question. There were nu-
merous reports in circulation, one to the effect
that the South Carolina Legislature had adjourned
without taking any steps relative to the dssolu-
ton of the States This rumor caused the timid
to breathe freer, and congratulate each other that
''wise counsels bad prevailed" Later in the day
rumor was put in circulation that the Charleston
banks had suspended specie payments. This put
things in ilutter, part icularly among those vino
have not he'd five dollar bill on any bank for
'coon's age" This class of people ;'deeply de.
plored the calamity" while the business men of
the community continued on their way, giving but
little credence to the report. On enquiring at the
newspaper offices it was found that both rumors
were without the least truth, telegraphic des-
patch having been received from Charleston dur
ing the day. When the bay and river boats arrived
In the evening considerable number of persons
went to the landing, but were disappointed in hear
ing either from Worcester or Somerset countless
The anxiety to know the exact majority of Mr.
breckenridge in the State was no doubt owing to
the fact that during Wednesday afternoon
and night and Yesterday forenoon, quite number
of bets were made on the number of majority he
would receive. As for as the naked fact of the
State having gone for Mr.. Breckenridge, that was
settled, and every person was satisfied. Even after
night when there was no probability of any more
returns being received numbers of persons stopped
tie enquire the news. Most of the money which
has been lost and won the State, was posted af-
ter the election. The friends of Mr. Bell had more
confidence in the returns which were made up bv
the wise acres OF the party, than those worthy
gentlemen had themselves, and while the former
are heavy losers in purse, the latter have saved
their purses, but lost their enviabe regulations as
mathematician. There is but very little DISPOSE
ton manifested to bet the result in any of the
Southern States. Both parties claim Virginia and
Kentucky, but there is no disposition to back their
opinions.

ROBBERY.-Some time during Wednesday night
or Thursday morning the store of Mr.. C. Lewis
Dunlap, Baltimore street. between Market Space
and the bridge, was robbed of articles to the value
fseveral hundred dollars. The thieves gained an
entrance by picking hole two feet square in the
rear wall. After getting in they went to work on
the desk in the office. An iron chisel, which the
thieves used, was broken in two pieces and iron
prise much bent They finally succeeded in forcing
it and the several drawers inside. Nothing was
found, however, except papers of much value to
Mr.. Dunlap, but worthless to the thieves. These
they scattered around in great confusion, but did
not mutilate any of them. The money drawers at
tached to the counters were also forced from
