TUESDAY MORNING, NOYEMi ER 10.
Peuusyivauia.
The Charleston Courier of yeslen! iy says:—
There is a very h;gh probability that this Stale
has gone fur Harrison by a small an ority—say
from 600 to 900 majority. The No tonal Ga
zelle, of the slh inst., gives a tabid of returns
from all the counties in the Slate, bowing a
Harrison majority of 913 ; anding “ i this taole
■we give all tbe counties reported “ fficial,” in
the Pennsylvanian (V. 8.,) of this m Hning, ac
cording to the reports of that journal.
The following is the editorial of th Gazelle,
on the occasion:—
Pennsylvania. —Up to this day we have
been extremely cautious in uttering r ir opinion
cf the result of the election in this £ ate. But
•all doubt is now past. The elector d vole of
Pennsylvania has been given by toe people to
William Henry Harrison. The ba is ol this
positive assertion is lound in our table of the re
turns. corrected by the latest and mos authentic
advices. We have spared no pains c collect all
tbe information which has been ret ived, and
without any qualification, we now : firm that
Harrison has a sufficient and indisp table ma
jority of the popular suffrages.
The official returns will of course ary some
of the figures in the table, but not so materially
as to neutralize Harrison’s present ex ess. Up
on this supeila'.ive triumph we most hi irtily con
gratulate both the biave generous ant able can
didate himself, and the people to whos patriotic
exertions his ascendancy is due.
•Since the foregoing paragraphs wer s written,
we ha>e further intelligenceconfirmat iy of the
opinion (if indeed a positive opinion c n be con
firmeul already expressed. We repee without
qualification or reservation, that th< State of
Pennsylvania has given her electoral v< lelo Har
rison, and nothing can be done by tl; ; opposite
party at this time, short of barefaced frauds in
reducing the returns to make the re ult favor
-their candidates.
The Philadelphia jYorih American, )f the 6th
inst., says “The belief that Harrison md Tyler
have been successful in this Slate, ? gaining
ground rapidly. To-morrow will set e this im
portant question.” It then gives a tabl* of returns
shewing the Harrison majority to he 6 4.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the ith inst.,
claims, by its table, a Harrison raajon iy of 36;
but says that official returns are not in t orn ono
third of the Slate, and the probability .“that the
actual result will not be known in Pen isykania,
until the promulgation of the offi ial returns.’
It cautions against belting, and says “t e general
result is still involved in great doubt.”
The Globe, of the sth inst., gives a able of re
turns shewing a Van Buren majority! of 298 in
the whole State.
Virginia.
The Richmond Whig of the 6th, < ves “ ac
tual returns,” •* embracing no mere rt p< rls,” from
39 counties, shewing a Harrison rnajo* ty of 602.
the same counties in 1836 gave a V n Buren
majority of 931. In 1836, the entin Van Bu
ren majority in tbe State was 7121.
The Richmond Compiler, of the s me date,
gives returns actual and reported fron 59 coun
ties, showing a Van Buren majority f 718.
The same counties, in 1836 gave a V n Buren
majority of 2805—Whig gain 2087. There are
121 counties in the state.
The Madisonian, of the 6th inst., git ?s returns
from 67 counties, showing a Harrison majority
oflo2l.
Connecticut.
The entire vote of Connecticut is received
five towns only excepted. The ma ority for
Harrison is 6385.
Mr. (now Judge) Storrs, was electee to Con
gress last year by 134 majority. Hon. VVm. H.
Boardman has now 1056 majority, beii g a wing
gain of 922 in the district.
- New Jersey.
The New York Commercial Adv rtiser of
Thursday evening says :—The returns -om New
Jersey are nut all in vet; but enough is known to
warrant the assertion that our patriotic neighbor
has been true to herself, and that ‘the b oa' 1 stal”
his been vindicated by the choice of H ison
electors, and Whig members of Congr ss in the
place of the usurpers. The Whig m joiity in
Essex county is 1809—being a gain of*iß since
the late slate election. Hudson count gives a
Whig majority of 231—l*eing a gain e> 73. The
Whigs have carried Passaic county by i major
ity of 390—being a gain upon their so ner ma
jority of 183. Middlesex gives 310 W ig major
ity. In October it was 165. Somersi t, 275
also neing an increase. Bergen county gives a
‘Van Buren majori y of 425—one town yet to be
heard from.
New Jersey has performed wonders,
above was in type we have learned that ;ie Whig
gain in that Slate since the October e ;dion is
779.
Ohio.
The Madisonian of Friday says :—We deem
.it unnecessary to publish, to-day,a tal eof the
counties and their returns. The votefo Harrison
and Tyler in 36 counties shows a gain aver Mr
Corwin’s vote, of 5,955.

THE ELECTION A GRATIFYING RESULT.
Our Election took place yesterday, and we are
happy to announce, that after all the boasting of
the Locofocos. and their confident expectalions of
carrying the oily by at least Four Thousand ma
jority, they have received a majority of only about
one thousand! This is indeed a Whig victory,not
withstanding our having lost our candidates for
Congiess and the Legislature; and so sensible were
the Locos of having <uslained a defeat that at half
past 10 o’clock the lights at Tammany Hall were
extinguished, and the party quietly dispersed to
their homes.
In the spring the Locofoco majority in the city
was 1617! and instead of increasing it several
thousand, they have merely saved themselves
f r om a defeat. We congratulate the Whigs of the
city, and of the Union, upon this cheering result,
as it renders this Sla e certain for Harrison, by at
least FIFTEEN THOUSAND MAJORITY!

T* ihe Honorable, the Senate and House
of f’e’ resentatlves of the State of Geor
gia, in General Assembly met
he memorial of the undersigned, citizens of
Rli Imund county in said Slate, respectfully shew
eth:
That in the opinion of j our Memorialists, the
currency of the State is in such a condition as to
require the interference of the Legislature.
Your Memorialists Ueheve ti.at tne suspension
of S, e ie Payments by the banks m 1837. was a
measure rendered unavoidable by toe slate ol the
country It became the duty of those institutions,
wnen tha‘ measure was forced upon them, so to
arrange iheir aliairs as to authoiize an early and
permanent resumption ; so. us youi Memorialists
believe, nothing is more ruinous to any people t
than a protracted depreciation of their i ircuiating 4
medium. The Barks having ti e active manage
ment of this, ciscu ating medium, were placed un
der high obligations to the public so to manage h,
as to render the peiiod of suspension as brief as
possible; and if, with a view to their own tewipo«-
ra:y profit, any ol tnein have continued so to ex
p na their issues as to render an ea.ly resumption
impracticable; such institutions should be made to
sutf’er the consequences of having sacrilieed the
public interest to their oan.
Your Memorialists believe, that all cur banking:
institutions which have be n managed with that
degree of prudei.ee and caution which the s'ale of
the country lequired, are in a condition to resume
Specie payments a once. Those which have not
been so managed, are not entitled to longer fbr
bearan. e.
And they would therefore respectfully recom
mend that a ge* eral ana early resumption be re
quired and enldiced by law.

Correspondence of the New York Express.
London, Oct. 19th, 1840.
Th unsettled state of the public mind respect
ing the dispute with France on the Eastern ques
tion, is exerting an increased degree of influence
in our money market. The Bank directors have
not. however considered it necessary to sell se
curities to contract the circulation, but are acting
with increased caution in granting accommoda
tion. A great numner of mercantile operations |
are held in -suspense, in consequence of the tlif
fi uhy of effecting insurances, except at such ad
vanced rate in many quarters, that the prices
cannot atford. The Bankers here are also in
creasing their reserve funds that, they may he in
a belter condition to support their regular cus- .
turners. All this derangement, however, would I
instantly disappear, were there any assurance
tnat no rupture .vill take p!a e. Notwithstand
ing all that has transpired, there is scarcely a sin- i
gle individual among the mercantile class that |
allow themselves to believe there is any serious
danger of the peace of. Europe being di.-tu bed; I
but there is ju-t as little i.ouht that the unthink- I
ing impetuosity of the French population is do
ing more mju y than is generally apprehended
The proceedings of a large discount here lias
added considerably lo the temporary embarrass
ment of the market. Some days bacx they dis
counted paper to a large amount at a rate rather
below the current value of money in lh« market,
under the impression that they could borrow
from the ha..k, upon the deposit of the paper
suppo ted by their own endorsement, and that
would obtain money to repay the loan at a lower
rate when the dividends came due to he paid;
and command an average proht, as has been
customary for the last two or tnree years. The
Bank of England, however, refused to make the
required advance, which has compelled them to
ofler higher terms to private Bankers,'to obtain
the money, and has added fully one-half per cent,
to the current rate of interest. At present there
is no general fixed rate of discount in tha open
market. In some instances the very first class
of commercial hills have been first charged 5 per
cent, and then w ith I per cent com ni-sion even
on the shortest dated paper, and in no case is the
commission less loan per cent. The Ban
kers balances are commanding and 5 percent,
on loans from day to-day. ai d many of the hous
es are exceeding the Bank of Eoglana rate on
inland hills of their regular customers, who keep
their accounts with them.
It is not likely there will beany alteration in
this state of matters until after the 21 st in.-tant;
but there is such a limited demand for money in
trade and commerce, that I do not see how it can
remain sence after that period, unless the Bank
of England contract the calculation to a greater
extent than there appea s lo be any necessity lor
at present.
The accounts from Manchester presented an
improvement: manufactured goodfe were sold at
lower prices last market day. The advices from
the woolen districts of Yorkshire are nearly of
the same complexion as the last two or three
weeks: there is a lair current demand for the
home tn de ; and the manufacturer, as near as
tney can calculate, endeavor to kc»*p production
within these bounds. Stocks in consequence are
not accumulating; and ahnough the pi ices of
goods have not advanced, their further decline
has been arrested.
GREAT BRITAIN,
The news by the Britannia does not appear to
confirm reports ot a prospect of war hetwen France
and the A.lied Powers. Fra ce is evidently dis-
I satisfied with (he course which matters have tak
en. but wisely appears to Ite in no hurry to in
volve herself in a ruinous and sanguine war.—
Some of the French journals say that the French
govenment will not interfere directly in the af
fairs of the East, so long as the war between Me
hemet Ali and the alhed powers is confined to the
conquest of Syria—but that w hen the attempts is
made to disposes* the Pacha of Egypt, France
will interfere, and prevent the eonsumation of
such an act of injustice. The Porte has already
declared that Mehcmet Ali shall he dispossessed
of all his possessions. This course according to
V • Augsburg Gazette, lias displeased the Russian
and Austrian cabinets, who considered the meas
ure too violent.
The present s ate of affairs between Great
Britain and France may be gathered from the
following extract from the London Morning Her
ald, of the 19th ult.
•* We are informed that the note hitherto un
published. to which M. Thiers alludes in the
postcript of the Bth to his memorandum of the
3d, is more pacific than the British Government
had reason to expect. ,
It contains a protest against the supposed poll- \
cy of Russia, but contains no protest against the
proceedings of Great Britain.
It demands what will be the conduct of the
British Government in the following cases:
1. What wdl the British Government do with
regard to the deposition of Mehemet Ali which
has already been pronounced by the Porte 1
2. What will the British govenuent do with
respect to the threatened attack on Alexandria,
and the destruction of the Tuikish fleet in the har
bor of Alexandria 1
3. What are *he lerms which the British gov
ernment proposes to accord to Mehemet All ?
We further understand that Lord Palmerston
has answered the above queries in the following
manner :
I With regard to the deposition of Mehemet
Ali.
The determination of the British Government
will depend on the extent of the resistance the
Viceroy gives to the execution of trie treaty.
2. With regard to the attack on Alexandria
and the Turkish fleet.
Tne determination of the Brtish Government
will depend or l tne use made by Mehemet Ali of
the Turkish fleet, and the warliwe armaments pre
pared in the port of Alexandria.
3, With regard to the nature of the terms to
be granted io Mehemet Ali.
They will depend in a treat measure on his
readiness to accede to the treaty of the 15th of Ju
ly.”

the taking of St. Jean d’Acre by the combined
squadron had circulated there, but was not cre
dited.
Letters from Alexandria to the 26th, state
that notwithstanding the departures of the Con
suls, and the decree of despotism, Mehemet Ali
had deeUren that he would not stop the Indian
mails. He had given orders for sending some of
his fleet to sea but had recalled the order by the
advice of the French Consul. This shows the
wavering state of the mind of the Pacha. He
had given the officers of the Turkish fleet liberty
to go away if they liked, with the exception of
i the Captain Pacha, the Captain Bey, Riala Bey,
and Mustapha Pacha. Numbers accordingly

STATU OF TRADE.
Manchester. —To give even a faint idea of the
continued depression and derangement of com
me.ee in this district, would be a difficult task.
We di i hope that the gloomy accounts we have
been fo.ccd, week after week, to record could not
bewoisc; but we tna.v witn liulh say. ihat it
Rould be impossible to name a corresponding wetit
or month equally fiat,gloomy,and dis, irilmg. We
deeply regret to say that A.nce our h.st icpor. goods
and yarns have been ever more liilfituil to sell, ai d
pikes of most kinds of goods have again d. dined.
Auout 10,0UU to 12,fit) people are out of employ
in Blai kburn and iis vicinity", in censequence of
the masters wishing to reduce .he wages of their
hands (of a l that receive above 9s weekly ) 10 p
cent; The hands consented to submit to 5, but the
master’s unltirnatum was 7A, to which the hands
.avou d not agree, and the result is that all tlje mills
arc standing, but w hat is worse, the people, if not
starving,are merely existing. Perhaps never in
the memory oi the oldest man was the trade in
this district in so cri ical and alarming a state.
Brads rd. —Wool Market.—We do not observe
any variation from our last report, either in de
mand or prices ; the former continues limited, and
the latter without the least animation. Varn con
tinues in fair demand, and late prices are fuily
maintained. There has been about an average a
mount of business clone in most kinds of goods
and previous prices are obtained. =
Leicester. J here is a steady" demand for wor
sted hosieiy for the home market, principally for
the low and middle qualities. The workmen are
now in fu.l empiOj ment, and the prospects for the
autumn trace are such as, we hope, wilii nsure
them a continuance o it. Yarn remains without
alteration, 'the wool-market is firm, and descrip
