■ ZJHROMCLL AND SENTINEL. A U «IISTA. THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12. I New York. The Democratic Press of Saturday says:—The otccmboet Rochester Krrrred from Albany at qur.r lar past three o’clock this morning, and we hasten ?o icy b«fc?e o«r readers tha glorious irt'i >j:rrv , ehich afce h r ia~t.

Gkhkk ai Ha mi son’s majoi ity will i ange from EIGHT TO TWELVE THOUSAND—Gov tnvoR Seward’s fr im SIX TO NINE THOU SAND! This is settled beyond the shadow of a doubt. Forty-six counties have been heard from, which give a majority of 14,119 for GENERAL HAR- RlSON—twelve counties to hear trom. If they come in the same as they did in 1838, Harrison s majority in the Slate, will be reduced to LLE YEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT. In the Southern and Middle portions of our State (says the Albany Evening Journal) the conflict has been fierce and desperate. )n no formor occasion has Locofocoism been so deter mined and ferocious. To the destructiveness -their principles, was added a keen appetite for "spoils.” And to al! this wassuperadded monkt in unexampled profusion ! All along the River it was mast lavishly expended. In our own city they poured it out in constant streams. W here did this money come from ? The final settle ment of a Leg-Treasurer’s Account will lurnish „ the answer to this question. lint the Free, the Glorious, the ever Faith ful WEST.redeems all! Her triumphant W nig Majorities, combined with the equally pioud and triumphant results in Saratoga, Washington* and Essex, has filled a great r.nd enlightened, out oppressed and misgoverned Republic, vv.ih joy and gratitude. It was rumored in this city last evening, that the Hon. John C. Clark was defeated, wnich most happily is disproved by the glorious returns fiom Chenango. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ELECT El*. We lose four members of Congress in this city, one in Dutchess and one m Montgomery, and gam one in Essex, Clinton and arren, one in Seneca, two in Onondaga and Madison, and two in Cortland*., Tompkins, Tioga and Che mung. The Congressional delegation will re main the same as before. ASSEMBLY. In this Assembly so far, there is a Whig gain of 10 members, and a Locofoco gain of 12. It is expected that our majority in the Assembly wid be reduced to 7. The Charleston Courier of yesterday says:— The Harrison electorai ticket has succeeded, in this Stale, bv a majority of !0 000 or 11,000 votes. The Commercial Advertiser gives re turns from 52 counties, shewing a Harrison ma jority of 10,112, being a Whig loss of oiriy 288, as compared with the election for Governor in 1838. The five counties, remaining to be heard from, in 1833 gave a Whig raaierity of 100. In the river, counties the Administration gains were -so great as at one time to excite the apprehen sons of the Whigs; but the West has gone al most en masse for Harrison and.arrested the sup' posed revolution. Gov. Seward is re-elected Governor, but has ran behind Gen. Harrison. In the elections for Congress the W higs have as lar as ascertained lost, 6 (four of them in the city of New York.) and gained 4 members of Con gress —nett loss sc far 2. In the Legislature the Van Buren party have gained largely—that body it is supposed, will consist of 56 \\ big*, acid 62 Van Buren in the Assembly. and 21 Whigs and II Van Buren in the Senate —being a Whig ma jority of 14 on joint ballot. l»c nusylvauia* This State has also cast her electoral vote for Harrison, after perhaps the closest contest on record, on so vast a popular field. A «lip from the office of the National Gazette, giving inter" motion from Harrisburg, as late as 12 o’clock, Friday night, states the Harrison majority at 251. An extra from the office oi the Philadelphia Nor.A American, states the majority at 247. Other ac • counts rate it yet higher, but it cannot possibly exceed a lew hundreds. Maine. The result in this State is yet doubtful, but the prohabililiesetroßg in favor of Harrison. The Boston Atlas of the Sih instant gives returns ■Sewing a Whig gain of 772 in 16:1 towns in September last, and declares that Maine has gone for Harrison. Tennessee. In Greene and Washington, Van Buren’s ma jority is 730; Polk’s over Cannon was 1140. In Hamilton 135 Hanison majority; Marion 135 Harrison majority. From the Crescent City of the 6th.

November 10, IS4O. y The hour at which the mall closes for your city afforded me no opportunity to furnish you any of the proceedings of the Legislature of yesterday The day was, however, principally consun ed in the introduction and leading of various bills of a genera! and local character tbs firrt time. r nj election? are now generally through with, and the Legislature hats rose to worts —and much \ v*o. it 1?.0r.t, and here is manifested . & C-i-pt".. :to n.epaie -rroeh move —which scorns to increase as .ns session progresses. It is somewhat amusing to witness the violent character of some of the measures suggested by the Van Buren party, for the purpose of enforcing the resumption of Specie Payments by the Hanks. Some of them are indeed of the most rabid and destructive character, which contemplate, in short, nothing but the absolute destiuclion of those insti tutions. The house have, however, just referred by a large vote, all matteis referring to there-; sumption to the Committee on Banks, when it is j to be hoped some measure will be suggested, which ; will, while it assumes high ground on this ques- | tion, be of such character as to secure the object j and the best interests of the country. The object i (political effect) of the movers of some of tnese bills is too obvious to be mistaken, but the intelli gence ol the people of Georgia will most assuredly i mete out to them their just reward. Another bill introduced by Mr. Hardage,of Hall, whi- h contemplates a very large reduction of the salaries of all officers save the members of the Le gislature, nas excited some little consternation, and like many of the projects for enforcing the resumption cf specie payments, is designed to ope rate upon the politics of the country. Resolutions cn various subjects connected with ! National politics have been introduced, and are j now in a state of preparation. By Mr. Dunagan, the Senator from Hall,denouncing a National Bank &:c. —which are no doubt tne offsprit g of that Sen a'or’s own intellect, as they r dicate clearly the calibre which has sprung them upon the country. 1 Mr. Flournoj-, of Washington, has introduced resolutions of the instructive character, which you will find in the papers of this morning, instructing our Senators, an I requesting oi,r Reprcsentives to vote for the leoeal < f the Sub Treasury. Opposed as I always have been, to this extra rdinary foily m Virginia abstractions, I do hope that the party in the Legislature of Georgia will iiy no act ac knowledge the truth of this dangerous, and to my mind, destruciive doctrine of instructions by a Le gislature. I hold that they have no such power* unless elected with special reference to the par ticular question, and that the per ons instructed should in no other inst mce obey. Upon tiiis ques tion, however. 1 shall probably at a future period, when I have more leisure, submit my views more fully. The Houses are going forward in the election of several Militia Generals. The hour for closing the mail is so near at hand that I cannot possibly extend my rem iks to other i subjects, which have been submitted to the con side;aiion of the Legislature. The Merrorial of the citizens of your city on the subject of Bank resumption, was laid befoie the House yesterday by Mr. Speaker Jenkins. J. Virginia. The Baltimore Patriot of the 7th 12£ o’clock p. m. gives returns from 93 counties, in which the ; Whig majority is 389 and the Whig gain on the ! vole of ’36 is 4075.

It was observed by the FEDERAL UNION, imnamediately alter the election in October lust, i we give its own language, that" The hard cider, ' and harder gin and whisk y wh rh h ;s been so f reefy used, will he abandoned by all sober men. aria S .vember will , we trust, see the people go to the p’ Us" ‘wide awake and duly sober."’ Well, the people have again spoken, and agaia has this Federal print,as well as others of a -ike k dwy. to i hew the cud of dmajipu.nlment and bitterness’’ GEORGIA has failod do bow the knee/o Baal,” to worsh p at the footstool of Federal misrule, or to sustain the “spoils” and “plunder” loving party of th** Union. If her people were druntt on the first Monday in October, we hope that in the recent election, the incre :sed majority which has been polled in favor of the Harr.son Electo ral ticket, will suffice to prove to the satisfaction, even ot the Federal Union, that intoxicating drink lias not prevented, at least their attendance al the polls, ll drunk in October, we hope that tbeir action will prove them to have been sober in No vember. In another colum, we present our readers with the returns as lar as they have been received at the Executive Office, as uell as from private sources, it will he seen that our increased ma jority. in the counties heard from since October last, is FOUR THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED AMI FI F tt-fitk —and that there is but little doubt we sh-di carry the State, by, at ieist EIGHT THOUSAND votes. As soon ns all the returns have been received at the Executive, we shall publish the vote re ceived by each Elector. Georgia has nobly dis charged her duly—a duly imperative upon her, and which she lias cheerfully performed. Her people without calculating whether the victory world ‘ inure” to the benefit of any individual citizen of their own State, or otherwise, have ac ted after mature reflection, for the benefit of the where people and against those who would en tail upon the country, evils of a magnitude alar ming to every patriot.

Loss of the Delaware. We gave yesterday the first intelligence of the wreck o the Schooner Delaware, the loss of a part of her crew', and remarkable preservation of the rest. From capt. Isaac <B. Brookfield, the master, who called upon us yesterday, we are now enabled to give further and more correct (particulars. The Dcleware was command* dby Isaac Brookfield, who had With him his brother Charles, and John W . Hoffman, ot Egg Harbor, who were acting as males. The vessel was hound iiom rSati Luis, Texas, to New \ork;aud, w.ien compelled to abandon her—she having ■pi ung a die. d.ul leak and Capsized-—lliC Captain with two pat.oeiis.ers and two negroes, took to the sea in one h at, while the brother Charles, and the other male, Hoffman, together with two other negioes,leflthesmk.:ng schooner in another. Capt.

Bloomfield expresses Iwmseh in terms of the warmest gratitude lor llieir kind treatment. They supplied the poor wretched men with loud and clothing immediately, and from Capt. Hop kins, also, of the Frenl.ce, tuey experienced the most humane attention, ile brought them to the city, providing them with t ver) necessary and comfort on the way. making them with his gen tle cmi.lesies, aim si forget their sad and mel ancholy misfoil ne. A diliercm fate betel the other boat, which was capsized, and t‘ c innominate m. n clung to I lie bottom while sfength lasted, until one by one they sank into the sea. ar.u the poor mate, Bloom field, the captain’s brother, was clinging to the boat a maniac. When found, his senses were entirely lost, and tie entreated the people who came to save him, not to take away liis hoar, for he was on his way to Galveston, and was having ; a very prosperous voyage. 'J he poor fellow’s in l tellccl was quite gone, end he could scarcely have survived many more hours. He was picked up, saved, completely restored, and brought l > .he j city, by capt. *Bnell, of the Hwan, from i'hiladcl ■ phta, which vessel arrived here on Saiutday eve ning. The lost schooner was half owned by her cap tain, Isaac Bloomfield, who saved nothing from the wreck but a lew bundled dollars, which he brought off"in his pocket, From the Casket for November. The lair Jewess. M. Duresnef. a wealthy and industrious mer chant, was at work in his counting house one morning, long before the arrival of his clerks, 1 when he Was disturb* d in his calculations by the ; announcement of M. Salomon. “ Ah, ah !” said . j the merchant, *' vvh »t. you have come about the ! indigo that we could not agree about yesterday!” i “ Very clear of it ; I come about a love affair. ’ M. Salomon, divested himself entirely ol busi- I ness, and pay iug M. Duresnel a visit at six o'clock | in the morning to talk of a love affair, was a ; thmg so ex!raurdma«y. that ilie honest me<rhai t j looked at liis visitor wnh an eye of suspicion, 1 much in the same way as in- would have regard ed a person of unsound mind ; hui Salomon con ! | tinned to speak with that calm sense which dis tinguished him in all his mercantile transactions. “ You know, sir, that I arn a Jew, and that I have two children.” •• I know your religion, but am not acquainted with your family.” 4 - My son arrived last night from London, where he has been residing for the last twelve I months. My t aughter —ah. sir,she is the pride and joy of my heart ! She is more beautiful than H agaror Rachael, mo-e gentle and submissive man was the daughter of Jeptab. And you, ?ir, have a sou “ Yes. bat I do not see— \on Will se when I tell you he is in love with my daughter, and that it is on this account t have intruded on you so early.” “ Hilaries in love with yourdaughter !” ‘•\es, sir, your Charles loves my Leah: she ins »old me so herself. What is to he done?— N ether yon r.or I can allow an acquaintance to 1 <>e k (it up between them if a marriage may not succeed. I heir fortunes are, possibly, equal, md the prejudices which exist against our ra^e, ; thanks to enlightened times, are nearly extinct. ’ Hut toe bom licence of the law, which has ex .ended our privileges, has not the power to alter : my religious p inciples, and. as 1 have said. I am 1 an Israelite. I cannot ui>e mv hilti to a u ;>n i; >vho adores Christ ; therefore vou will perceive that Ido not come to forward ibis marriage. I would ra’her endeavor to jireveut, and i I judge you rightly you would do the same.” M. Duresnel leaned on his bureau, and was tor a time silent, recalling to mind the distinctive traits of his son’s character. “ Charles.” said he. “is honest and candid • hut hisdisposi ion is ardent and unchangeable What will be the result of this!” Then, struc k hv the last words of .M. Summon, he continued. ‘•Yes, of course 1 venerate my own icligion; il was that of my father, and must be that ot my grend cniidren.” “ ,Vell, then, sines v/c are of .he sanro mind you will think, as I do. that h our duty to separate »h®so young people. W ouid it I a convenient fer yea to assd awsy jsur sen \ a a year or trro 1 not, I ntuct part with my Leah. I have a brok er at Lisbon ; she shall go to him.” M. Dorc-mel treated will Salomon as he had done the day before respecting the indigo; he re quired time. He eould not reasonably enter in to any engagements until he ;as seen his s« n : b.i. he promised an answer at the earliest possible j period, and the two men hunts sepera ed.— VI. { Duresnel hastened immediately to his wile; hut the lady, instead of advising flew into a rage. “A Jewess!” she, exclaimed ; “my Charles wed a Jewess ? No ! I will not have a Jewess for a daughter-in-law; the boy shall rather live single all his life!” “Spare your indignation, my dear,” said her husband; “Mr. Salomon would just object as much to receiving a Christian into his family. ’ Madame was esteemed an excellent woman ; 1 she solicited alms for the poor; confessed twice a year; and had her name affixed to a chair in the church of St. Roach. M. Duresnel had not been able to form any eon- | elusions as to this matter, nor yet to have an in terview with his son, before he received another ! unexpected visit. A youtn girl, in tears, rushed \ into hiscounting-honse, ami placed herself in the i same seat which M. Salomon had occupied a short time before. “Oh. sir!” she cried; her bright eyes glistening through her tears; “where is your son! I con jure you, let me see him, if only for a moment; I must speak to him.” It was Leah, the daughter of M, Salomon, who, pde and breathless, thus sought M. Duresnel. j The old merchant was convinced at the first glance that the Israelite had not overrated the charms ot i his daujhter. Never had lx-seen more beautiful | features, nor so fair a complexion, with hair of so j dark a l.uc. She has the air of a queen, but her dignity was mingled with graciotisness, and was at this tint softened by sorrow. . The queen was lost in the tenderness of the woman ; lor some-, thi g of more consequence to Leah than a king dom was at stake—the lives of two persons whom she loved devotedly. “J fear you vvil think me bold in thus coming to seek your son ; hut you do not know (fie ni s fortnne which threatens us.” “ What misfortune, y ung lady ? Explain.” “I have ahr ther. sir. young and violent ns your son ;he cons : d r the love of Charles as an insult, and if they should meet —ah, sir! if they meet. am> a fatal termination :-hould attend their quarrel. I shall be unhappy for life!” At that moment a servant entered with a let ter— “VV ho is that for!” asked M. Duresnel, hastily rising. “For M. Charles.” The father took it, broke the seal, and, having read it. gave it to the fair jewoss. “You were right.” said he, “it is a challenge ; and so strongly worded, that Charles, with all his foe for the sister, may not refuse to cross swords with the brother.” Leah read the note, and, tearing it in pieces, threw them around her in dispair. “My son is nut at hon e observed M. Duresnel; therelore make your.-eh casv on his account VVe ! have yet some time; I wifi uke you to rny wife; 1 you shall remain with her till my ieiurn. Young . lauy, confide in me ” M. Duresnel ha-tened tot e dwelling of the ( jevv ; he found him sonow fu lv pacing the length ’ ot ins cabinet. Salomon evidently knew hi- sou's | intentions. “I come,” sail! Duresnel, -ai out this love affair of which wo spoke this morning.” “Ah, indeed!” replied the Is. aelitc, “and what have you to propose ?” “ \ our son is about the same age, I believe as i mine. Charles, as you know is my only son, and ( Would rall.er lose tue whole of mv fortune than lids dear boy even it I found myself without lire means <-t providing myself with food or shel ter. \on have two children; you have me at ad vantage.” “ \ es,” said Salomon, his voice choked by an endeavor to suppress his tears, “if affections could be calculated li e inteiests; hut all the good in the world woulu no he an equivalent for my son. 1 love him equally wuh his sister, and 1 cannot admit your distinction.” “ But,” said Duresnel. as if not heeding the last words ot the otuer, ‘otiarffs is a most adroit swordsman, and he has seldom found an equal at hitting a maik.” “My son, ’ said the Israelite, “will strike a ten sous piece at tuirty paces, and has disarmed more than one of our best fencing masters.” “But. my trend. ’ si.id Duresnel, alter a pause, his agitation increasii g as he approached the mooted point ol religious difference, “the affair does not stand as it did when you came to me this morning.” “No, I am quite aware of that.” “ This morning, we talked of feelings which we could not rghtly understand; for we thought we could depiive unr children of iheir happiness without any loss to ourselves. But we me undeceived, we may, one or both of us lose a son ; yet your daughter, far from being happier, w.ii ex-.eriei.ee quite a contrary result. In such a position would it not he more reasonable lor us to make some samlire]” “ You are right," anwered the Jew, with a pe netrating glam e at Duiesnel. Well, then, let us consider,” said the luke warm I'hnstian, “I think you were at Bordeaux some five-at d twentyy<ars ago; you were then young, rich, and vve.! received by the women. I have some re j eiuhrance that there was at that lime a certain Ciarissa who was not of vour re ligion.” “Yes,yes. Ido not deny it,” interrupted Salo mon. “ Well, and lam ready to confess that, since I have seen your daughter, I can easily forgive Charles for failing in love with a Jewess. Why then should we prohibit, our children from indulging a passion which in sincerity would lead them to plight iheir faith at the altar, and cement their love hy a tie the most sacred.” “ King David could have done no more.” “ David is no example for us at present said Duresnel, ‘ since he broke through laws without a virtuous purpose; vve. in uniting a Chritian to a Jewess shall prevent bloodshed, and I know of no religion, true religion, that authorises one man coolly to take the life of another. Let us there fore prefer the alternative that will occaison Us the least remorse and grief. We no longer live in the days of Abraham ; we are not required to sacrifice ou. chiido n; besides, the knife was stayed before it oaid descend on the victim. May we not. rny dear Salomon, consider the an gel as the spirit ot reus in, toleration, and charity; v,r ues rather neglc ted among us ! And why sh* u d we imp »e our religious beliefs on our children since they aie old enough to judge a,.d act for tiiemst Ives. I will undertake to conciliate my wife, it you will do the same with Madame Salomon.” “ Madame Salomon is dead !” sighed the Jew: then added, “ nut our grand-children.” •• It is to he hoped that their father and molhc Will exhibit the same goou sense that vve shah have none; and when In \ are of age to decide for themselves, their children may be allowed to choose from conviction.” Salomon held forth hi? hand to M. Uuresml. “Be it so,” said he ; " and row about the indi _ n t O, • Oh. I will lake it at your own price, discount or no discount, on any terms you please.” Not long alter this there was a grand ball giv en in honor of the nuptials of M.

But at the same time, a sin< ere admirer of all c! ristian denominations, and j has frequently pai taken of the communion with the Methodist denomination. For several days before her exit, all the desire she expressed was to quit this veil of teais, as she had every assuram e of be ing transporter to a celestial r'aradise, wheic she would meet her God. She retained her perfect mind :<nd speech to the last —she was truly an evangelh al Christian, humble, charitable, modest and unassuming in her demeanor among her fellow creatures. She has left three children to mourn her irreparable loss, all of whom die has been spared to see arrive al the years of maturity and take their separate stands among the busy world.
