MAINE ELECTION.
The following correspondence of the N. Y.
Express, gives as definite, and in our mind, as
correcta view of the result of the Maine elec-
tion, as the nature of the case will admit.
BOSTON. Sept. 25th 1840.
Kent is cerlairzly elected Governor. Theofli‘
cial return will show that he has received about
300 votes more than Fairfield, and that he is e-
jected by 200 votes over Fairfield and scattering.
It is admitted that there are not 100 scattering
vot_es. The Loco Focos here do not dare to ac-
knowledge their defeat in the newspapers for
fear ofthe effect abroad, but candid men of that
‘party admit that Kent is elected.
The l‘Vhigs have elected fotir menrber's of
ii Congress and the Loco Focus two, and there is no
choice in two districts. Noyes, in the Hancock
and ltlfasliiugtou district, lacks abotrt 50 votes of
a majority. and will be elected at the next trial.
so that the VVbigs will have five metnbers of
Congress, and the Loco Focus but three. The
Senate stands 16 lVhigs to 8 Loco Focus, and
one vacancy that will be filled by the legislature;
so that the VVhigs will have nine majority in
that body. \Ve have heard, thus far, of the e-
lection of95 \Vlrig members ofrlie House ofRe-
presentatives, to 07 Loco Focus. The boat to-
day has brought the intelligence that a ‘Nliig
was elected yesterday in Camden. which town
gave a majority for Fairficld at the gubernatori-
al election.
Twenty-four representative districts yet re-
main to be heard from. and if the Loco Focus
succeed in all ofthem, the \Vhigs will then have
nine majority in that body; but the chances are
that the VVliigs will carry five or six of the dis-
tricts, autl thus secure a majority of 15 in the
House and 2-1 on joint ballot, which makes i,
ceriain that a I/Vhig Senator to Congress will be
chosen in the place ofJolinRuggles, whose term
expires on the 4th of next March.
In this district we have to make a new nom-
ination for member of Congress, in the place of
Hon. Abbott Lawrence, who has resigned on
account of ill health. Two persons are talked
ofto supply the vacancy, Hon. R. C. \Vinthrop
and Hon.Franltlin Dexter, and one oftlrem will
probably be elected.

‘don't ride in their troop.’
OPPOSITION !—Fa're Rcduccc/.—'I‘lreStcan't-
boat Splendid, Capt. Sanford, took her place
on the route from New York, to Bridgeport,
touching at this place, on \Veducstiay last, in
opposition to the Fairficld, Capt. Peck. The
fare was advertised at 25 cents, bu’. the the heat
of the opposition has reduced it to 63,- cents. Mon-
days, 'iVednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays are
the opposition day from here.
Since the above was put in type, a cornpro-
mise has been effected between the two boats
and the Splendid has hauled off.
The Dialogue between an old democrat and
a locofoeo, sent us by a friend, we have not in-
serted, for the reason, that the gist of the tnatter
has appeared in our columns in a different con-
nection, and to a considerable extent been circu-
lated through other journals.
NoitwALK HOTEL.-l--This establishment
has of late undergone. such enlargement and im-
provement as to become one of the chief orna-
ments ofour village. Indeed we doubt wheth-
er a superiorledificeof its character is to be found
between the cities of New York and New Ha-
ven. VVhile we thus speak of its external ap-
pearanc e, we hesitate not to say, that in respect
to its internal arrangement, and general manage-
ment. it will not suffer in comparison with any
similar concern. Mr. Stevenson, the proprietor
is an attentive and acceptable host, and his en-
terprise is worthy ofcommendation.

years since, at an,expense of over half a million

magnificent edifice of the kind in the country.
has been very materially injured by fire. The

be the work of an incendiary.
BRITISH PHILANTHROPY.
It'is said that there are in Hindoston seventy-
five millions of women who can neither read
nor write, and thirty millions of these are Brit-
is subjects I
If some of that excessive philanthropy which
is felt in England for the slaves of tliis country.
were bestowed upon the tlebased and beuighted
wretches—hcr maje§fy’s siilijebts and slaves-
who swarm the bugs of Ireland at home, and
the jungles of the Indies abroad, the world
would have a better exemplification of that trite,
‘but wholesome maxim, “Let charity begin at
home."
We hold these truths to be self-evirleut—That
the revolutions of fortune will resolve Martin’
Van Buren back into his original and appropri-
ate sphere——that ofa country lawyer; and that
General William Henry Harrison, the honest
Farmer Of Ohio. willlbe the next President of
the United States. A

VVe are much gratifed to be able to state that
a deputation of gentlemen have gone to New
York, for the purpose of securing if possible, the
presence of the Hon. Daniel VVebster at the
convention soon to he held in this county.
The locofocos are talking ofa r,-onverrtion in this
county, and the ‘Hon. Silas \Vriglit, and for
ouglrt we know to the contrary, the VVright
\Vort'hy Fanny VVright. are, it has been said,
to appear as the apologists of Mr, Van Buren’s
maladministration.

ARRIVAL OF TH E GREAT VVESTERN.
EIGHT DAYS LATER.
The steamship Great '\‘v’cstcrn, Capt Hos-
kin, arrived yesterday afternoon, bringing as
London dates to the llth, Bristol to the 1.‘2.th,
and Liverpool to the 11th inst. The news
is of considerable irnportance.
The ovet'larid mail had arrived from Chi-
na, India and Egypt. Admiral Elliott's arri-
val, with his cxpcdition, was urorttcnt:.tr'ily ex-
pected, and it would be the signal for the
commencement of hostilities on the Chinese
The Americans were still at Clinton, but
expected to leave the latter end of.lane.
Insurectionary movements hudtaken place
in Paris among the operatives, but they were
speedily suppressed.
W'arlike preparations were making on a
large scale at the dock yards in England.—
Nirpier’s machine in Vlfoolwich dock yard,
for nizrking‘ balls by comprssion, was or-
(lured to be worked by steam. Great pro-
gress had been tirade in casting cannon.

IV(l-?:(1.Z A7'c/i,i!ect2.';rc'—It is wortlty of re-
mark, that the proportions of lll€~BI‘lllSll
Queen steamship, the last gl’£‘:1l('fli)rl of ina-
rine architecture that has interested the world,
are exactly those of Noah’s Ark, the first
that was set afloat, proving that 4000 years
of practical science has done nothing to im-
prove the dimensions of floating boats, first
given by the great Builder ofthe Universe;
and ifthe critical character on these propor-
tions be duly considered, it rnay afford an
evidence of the Scripture narative. The
breadth of ‘the Ark was one-sixth of the
length. The British Queen is 40ft. Gin.
wide; stem to sternpost 3-13ft; aloft, whole
depth 29, making the sqtiare depth 24ft,

Queen.
Devan, Sept. 9.—A messenger arrived
this afternoon from Constantinople, with des-
patches for the Foreign Office, and with the
ratificatiorr by the. Ottoman Porte of the trea-

New I-Iaven arrived yesterday from New
Haven, at the usual hour, bringingfour litm-
rlrcrl and riinelg/-two prLssc7z.g‘crs. For this
enormous cargo of flesh and blood, the pro-
prietors reccivctl 12 1-2 cents per head——dis-
tance, 80 miles. Another boat, the Ameri-
can Eagle, also arrived from New Haven
ycst.erd:ty, but her number of passengers we
are unable to state. She likewise charges
not exceeding 12 1-2 cents fare, and we un-
derstand it is in contetuplation, to reduce it to
one cent. The next step in the progress, we
suppose, will be, to give a good dinner to all
who y)a.ti'o7iizc the boats respectively. The
competition does not extend to the New
York, which leaves here each alternate day,
btit is confined to the New Haven and the
American Eagle. The New York charges
as usual, two dollars.——Jour. of Commerce.
T/iv Illa’/Ly Headed l«Vlicat.—-Tlie many
headed wheat is an indigenous plant of Cal-
ifornia, six heads of which were procured
by Major Spcring from a man in the Osage
nation of Indians, who had been trading in
the Pacific Ocean. The six heads produ-
ced six hundred grains, which were planted
by Mr. Piphcns Baker, of Abbevill, S. C.,
the production of which was ten thousand
heads. Thegronnd on whichthe wheat grew
was measured by an accurate sttrveyor——the
heads count:-d—and one head shelled out,
and the grain weighed ;a calculation was
then mrade, the result of which was, the
wheat produced at the rate of two hundred
and thirty bushels to the acre. It was plan-
ted about the last of January, and cut on the
20th of June. The. land on which it grew
is poor and sandy, and was unassisted by
inanure.—— IVi1/res COZ£-7!.l'_7/ (Goo) News

Irzsu.7'7'eclion.—Prehaps you have heard
something aboutthe insurrection which was
to have taken place in the parishes of Lafay-
ette and St. Landry. Fortunately it was
discovered in time to prevent any mischief.
The plans ofthe insurrectionists were bad,
and as usual, horrible in the operation.
They have as yet hung butthree of the ring-
leaders. Many are arrested, and more will
be hung. Two white men have been impli-
cated; they were tried and found guilty by
circumstantial and positive testimony, but as
the law ofthe state does not recognize slave,
testimony againsta white, they could not
by a legal tribttnal, be found guilty to stiffer
death, as they would have been, had the tes-
timony been admissible.--J. of Com.
