MhiHc.—The acco'&nts are contradictory Troth
khii State. Doth parties are claiming it—the
Whigs by • majority of083 in 858 towns—the State
‘ill heard froth but 80 towns find plantations. We
think it prohibit t'fiut tlfiS State haS gone for lha
Whigs.
Maitachutetti.—The Harrison majority In this

‘Ohio.—In 64 counties heard from in this State,
tho Harrison majority is 24,550

Is 6,273.
Michigan.—Thomajority for Harrison in Detroit
is *60. in 7 countios tW6 Whig majority is one vote.
The vital* Vety close, and b6th parties are claiming
the State.
VIRGINIAt
We have now returns from all tho couridrt in the
State but five, and Mi*. Van Buren's majority, it Will
be seen, is only 631. The countios to bo heard from
Will most probably increase this majority slightly,
but will hardly run it up beyond 1W)0.
Tho following counties remain to be heard from,
attd Voted as stated in 1836. '
Fnyetlo,
Lew,
Logan;
Nicholas;
Russel!-,
Scott,
Tho mujorily in these counties will be much re
duced, und Fayette and Nicholas will give Whig
majorities now, but not sufficient to overbalance the
Van Buron majority. The State may be set down
for Mr. Van Buren by a.small majority.

The Splendid Chandelier lately suspended in
the Hall of the House of Representatives wns light
'ed last Wednesday night, when a number of gen
tlemen attended to witness its effect. We under
stand, from one who was present, that tho rflbct
was exceedingly beautiful and oxtrnniely brilliant.
We had the pleasure of viewing and examining ilia
splendid Chandelier last Thursday morning. It is
certainly, without exception, tho largest, most ele
gant and spltndiil Chandelier we ever bolield. We
understand that it was mantifnctured to tltoordrr
ofthe House of Representatives, by Messrs, H.N.
Hooper & Co. of Boston, anJ cost fddr 'thousand
dollars.
Tho fallowing description of this unique and
splendid luminary, kind'y furnished at our request
by a gentleman, attached to the House of Represen
tatives, will we haVotib dodht interest tho reader*
of the National Intelligencer. r
The Chandelier Is ofcut-glass, And of the best
workmnnship. It lias seventy eight argand burn
ers.'brrunged in two tiers of horizontal plfaneq tho
.lower one has fifty two, the upper one twenty six
burners, fitted Vith‘polished gins* chimneys und
ground glass shades; each burner having n distinct
reservoir t6 'conthin the oil, and So arranged as to
admit of rert)6'vtil'sofin'raleiy from the roit.

liielJnlorr, it lift also a brnnd nru'hnd the canopy,
cbnthining tSventy six metallic stars; the whole sur
mounted hy an cogle, with tho shield of the Union.
The Chandelier contains two th'ousnnd six hundred
and filly cut ginks lustres, and eight thousand cu't;
gloss spangles; tho bottom is finished with a cut
glass dish inverted and n metallic skeleton bail.
The rod Which sustains the Chnndelier is made
with o revolving joint, so its to bdtolt df its being,
turned round, and is hollow, to receive a ges tube,
hereafter if necessary.
_ Tho Vuipetiiion rod is made Yifiron, and of suffi,
'cient length to roach the lantern of the abme of tho
Hall, fitted with secure attachments fur the Chon
Hetier, and the chains of the balance weight nrp
tibvdrOd with .brass; tho chains oro oflrnh; and made
to tho siyledf a Watch chain; the pttlllek are also
of iron; tho balance weight is lead, cased with cop
per. All that port df the fratao of the Chandlior,
nnd its mctnllic ornaments, that aro visible, are
finished in burnished gold. Tho diameter of tho
Chandelier is 13 feet, its welght.7,500 pounds, ami

Election Detpalch.-An example to other Slalet
i— 1 The Empire Slate closed its canvass on Wndnes
day night at sun down. Tho numbeYofvotes'polled
were probably from 430 to 450,0U0; un Saturday
htoroing, teii than icventy-tico hoUrt, the result
was known in this city; distance ij to 700 miles
^ West and north, and comprising nearly every county
in the State. Such w'ak tho intense feeling of bur
citizens on the subject, to have the result, and it
htay io a great measure be attributed to the energy
and enterprise of Whig editors and publishers. The
'< result was known in Philadelphia at noon oH StltUr
day; at Washington, Baltimore nnd Boston on Sun
day morning, and in Richmond, Va., on Monday
morning! I We recollect well when wo did r.ot get
the returns in this city from Suffolk or Westchester

Ratel of Pottage in England.—A genliemnn of
Botton, now in London, has sent to a friend tho
following reply to certain inquiries respecting post
■age:
4, For nil internal correspondence, from one end
lofthe kingdom to the other, tho charge ofa single
■hotter; weighing under half an ounce, is one penny.
For all ship Ibttcts received from America the
tharge is 8d single, is 4d double, &c. Fornrwipn
peri 2d each, nnd for pamphlets letter postngo, ac
Wording to weight. A letter addressed to France
heed not be sent tea friend in London, aa by on ar
Yangrment between the two governments, a ship
letter would be forwarded by tho General Post Of
fice here to France, without the payment of any
postage in London; but a letter would not be for
Warded to any other foreign country. America for
example, until the posiitge ofa single letter by the
Halifax steamers Is and of a newspaper 2d. Tito
mails for India leaVn on the 4ih of every month,
and tho postage is 3s B^d for a single letter weigh
ing half an ounce, and 7s 5d for an ounce weight.
The only way to send pamphlets to this country is
' by private hand, (and theh they are subject to duly
of 5t2d per lb.) provided they appear os part of a
passenger’s luggage, and tire ttot onvcllnpcd nr ad
dressed; otherwise they arc able to seizure by etis
tom bourn officers, and subject to the post office te

Oriental.—A society has lately boon firm Id in
London, says the Boston Journol, for the pur|*ote of
preserving oriental literature, end causing texts
of standard works in every branch of orients!
literature to be printed In tbo Syriac Arabic,
Persian, Turkish, Sencrit, ami Zend languages
and In those of Indie, Thibet, Chine, end tho
countries that lie between China end liindo*
tan. At present, the whole literature of Asia,
with the exception of China, exists only inntanu
•criu-oeDtoMbererora, can never U numerous,
endmusleltvgya beegpenilve. Three liffirulties
wlllh# obvlawd by tho fortnutluu of this society,
, har royal contort, and liarhumeheld,
are at breakfast. Thetimo occupied by this meal
is about half an hour, when her Majesty, if tho
weather permits, enjoys tho air in the plensure-
gardous attached to Buckingham palaceithtx gar
den covers a space of forty acres. Hero tho
queonfrequently remains an liour.andisaccompani
ed by some of the household or by the Prince.—
When she is accompnniud by tho latter, etiquette
prescribes that nxcept by Invltntion, ilia ladle and
gentlemen in attendance should walk at a respectful
ditt'Ance.
Upon her Mojeily's return to the palacp. she is at
attended by her secretary, when site affixes her sig
nature to the vurioukdocuments which acquire their
validity by it. These comprise treasury nnd other
warrants, the commission of military officers, state
papers. &c.; and they are frequently so numerous,
that it tins before now requited more tlmnlwo hours
to get through this business.—The Queen passes
the time between one and three, cither in conversa-
lions;reoding>painting or music. In lliesetwo nc-
complishinents her Majesty is eminently proficient\
her drawings«»re much admired, end Iter love fur
music is well known; she is excellent both as nn
instrumental.nnd vocnl performer. There nre tlireo
piano fortes in the suit of tlirce drawing rooms tisu
ally inhabited, hut that which is especially hcrMn
jesty’s, and which is only touched hy her fingers, is
magnificent; it is rosowood, inlaid with gold nnd
vignette pictures,and cost 1,500 guineas. Luncheon
is served at three, after which the Queen receives
tho Cnbin'ct Mints tors and such other persons whom
it is usual tO honor wiih audiences. At five the rot
>1 cortege leaves the palace, and proceed* ihrougl
tho parks, &cj andgenerallyreturns nbuut seven or
a quarter after.
Dinner is gonefrally served about seven or n qunr
ter before eight, except on opera nights when it is n
liilla earlier. The usual number of persons who
dine at the royal table is about thirty. The Queen
never Tnila to he present except upon nights of a
ball, either at the palace or elsewhere. Qn thoso
octaiibns her Majesty dines in har nwn suite of
apattmpnts. The Quncn, who occupies the centre
scot ofthe dinner table, remains from an hour und
fivo minutes to an hour and a quarter. Her firing
is the signdl Tor the ladies to move after her', and in
a very short lime subsequent to this move tho gentle
men follow. During dinner time the band of ore of
tho regiments of Guards gerteroliy • attends. The
musicians nre placed in a situation nboVe tho ceil
ing of the apartment. They are separated from
tho royal party hy large panos nfgrouud glass,which
rHellow the lound, and prevent the musicians seeing
into the fipotlmont. Tea end coffvo ore seived im
mediately after dinneV; in a small room leading
from one of the drawing rdoWs. The remnjnder of
the evening is passed with music nnd conversation,
in both of which the Queen and Prince Albert take
n part; and about half past deVch hor Majesty re
tires to her apartments; which are in the immediate
vicinnhy of thedrawing rooms, nnd with which thete
is a communication by means df a door that is or
dtnarily concealed by a cahirtet. This cabinet it on

MILLEDGEVILLE, 13th Nov.
Senate mot pursuant to adjournment—the unfin*
islted elections of yesterday were in order.
Mr. Gordon moved to postpono tho election that
he might have an opportunity to havo a bill pain
authorizing the printing to be dorte hy the lowest
bidder.
After iome debate, the Vnotion to ytoYtpone pre
vailed, and a bill introduced AdcoVdingly.
Tho senate, after receiving seVeral ncw bills of
local character generally, toik up the bill to alter
andomend the ConiilUirton to Yefirirence to the
Biennial Session. Mr. Gordon opposed the patsogo
of tho bill, Mr. Spencer and Mr. Jones advocated it
w'&iiniy.
Mr. CalhooVi fin'd not determined tho ffo°*t>on in
his own mind, and moved to postpone tho bill for
tho present. ThoSenate deferred the bill. I rather
expect the matter will be debated warmly, and
therefore soy WthThg fitore At present on that shb*
ect.
Tho next bill df irdp^taffca thst wns taken up, is
the bill to 41 establish a Court for the correcthm of
Errors.” Th'e Senate ftdjditnVod without any action
thereon, and bfcuurso ft will come up to-moYroW for
thu ednkideration oftlie Senate'. . .
My impression ii \h'At the probable passage of
this bill is more promising this season Mian it h«s
been for some yeArs; it ik dn'dbtfol feoweVer, and

small piece of for sail set, standing t» the eastward.
About an hour after she was seen To capsize as was
thought, in attempting to wear round. Sho parti
ally righted aguin, when her mainmnst wns gone, and
four men wore seen clinging to her fail f-r about
another hour, tvlieo they were all washed off. The-
vdssel came on stiprr buck of Sandy Neck about a

leather, which ihepoonla upon the beach aro get
ting out today and saving. When the vessel first
struck the shore her foremast bent overboard and
•he beat up, as. the tide came, a complete wreck.—
The bodies of the crow have not yet drifted on shore.
There wni, and still i«, n tremendous sim running
which made it sisterly infpos.ibto to rewler them the

they urgo thut Naiionul Bunks, by concentrating

tlioso ofhis Southern pariisuns, Ims probably lost
none of its force.' New York lids combined "witu
the South io d' Stroy two Naiionul Bunks, because
they were located In I’ennsylvunin, tho olijedr of
