Virginia Elections. It is imposaible to ascertain from the Richmond papers, the true and exact result of the late elec tion in Virginia. According to the Enquirer, parties will stand as follows ; Senate. House. Total. Administration, 18 G 3 81 Whigs, 11 65 76 ' Conservatives, 3 3 6 \ Doubtful, 3 3 ; According to the Richmond Whig the follow ing will be the State of parties. Senate. House. Total. - Whigs, 12 67 79 Administration, 17 58 75 Conservatives, 3 9 12 Such are the estimates of both parties ! How are we at this distance to determine which is right and which is wrong. It is impossible and we must therefore wait until the Legislature Meets and makes a trial of strength. , There is one thing however which we cannot forbear to notice, and it is this—in all previous party contests in Virginia, whenever the Admin istration party has been thoroughly roused they have swept every thing before them, carrying the Legislature by immense majorities. For once they have failed to do so, although they have been stirred up to the most desperate exertion jjiever yet made. The Whigs, apart from the Con servatives, have elected more members of the House of Delegates than the Van Burenites. Last year was no proper test as there was no ex citement and the Van Buren party suffered the election to go almost by default. In the Congressional election, the Whigs have gained two and lost one. Lucas, one of the Van Buren men is elected by only iwo voles ac cording to the Richmond Enquirer. His seat will be contested and it is said with almost posi tive certainty of success. The following are the Members elect. Whigs. Administration. Henry A. Wise, Joel Holleman, Charles F. Mercer, Francis E. Rives, Jno. Taliaferro, Geo. <Dromgoole, K. M. T. Hunter, Jno. W. Jones. Jno.

CjT* We are requested to state that Mr. Gay, will exhibit his machinery for reeling silk from the cocoons, and manufacturing it into sewing cilk, also into warp and filling for weaving, this evening and to-morrow evening, each day from A to 7 P. M., at the Cocoonery of Mr. C. J. •Hutchinson, at the Hampton Course. Ladies and gentlemen of Augusta, and the vicinity, arc invited to attend. No charge. Boston the Victor again! —The N. York Spirit of the Tunes says, that the Four Mile Race on Friday, over the Trenton Course, for $l5OO, ($6 K) to the second best,) was won by Boston in two heals, beating Decatur and Vashti. Time slow; Ist heat, 7m. 575; 2d heat,Bm. 245. There were 272 carriages on the ground, and conse quently an immense concourse or spectators. Wm. W. Arthur, late treasurer of Pickaway county, Ohio, has taken the liberty of showing the porkers a small specimen of tali walking by “Swartwouting” with $6,285 belonging to the school fund. He has probably " Priced” the fare to Texas. Treasury Notes.—According to the official statement the aggregate amount of Treasury Notes outstanding on the Ist of June, was $6,062,288 18. The Bank of Eso land. —A letter by the last arrivals says that the specie of the Bank of England was reduced, for the last month, to four millions, while the average of the quarter was six midions. The same letter mentions that the determined to discount only regular busi ness paper. D ;spvTcii—The Baltimore Patriot says, “two British officers of the Royal Artillery, were on parade with their battalion on Friday two weeks, at Wou.wich, some miles from London, and dine 1 yesterd jy with one of ther countrymen at Beltzhoover’s Hotel, in Baltimore. They came by the Great Western.” A Great Petition. —The national petition of the Chartists was at the last dates nearly three miles long, and contained 1,250,000 signatures, lx was carried to London in procession, with flags banners, dec, * ’ We learn from lire Madisonian that Mr. J. L. O’Sullivan, one of the editors of the Democratic Review, has been nominated to the secretaryship of legation at Paris, and waits only for the assent of Governor Cass, for the consummation of the appointment. The Selma (Ala.) Free Press, says: “As far as our observation extends, and from the accounts in the newspapers in other parts of this State, Mississippi and Tennessee, the growing crops are unusually promising. The seasons for planting has been much more favorable than those of sevc ■ ral previous seasons.” An English paper says—"lt has been discov ered that some of the best black tea imported in to this country from < hina is grown in a climate much colder than that of England, and experi ments are in consequence now making near Bir mingham to introduce the cultivation in this country.” From the New Orleans Bee, June 3. From Mexico. There were two arrivals on Saturday from Mexico. One, the schr. Eclipse, from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 16th ult. The other, the schr. Rolla, from Tampico, which place she left on the 15th of May. The Rolla does not bring intelligence as late as that received by the Woodbury. We have been unable to gather any thing of interest by the Eclipse. The central forces were still in the vicinity of Tampico; but up to the latest dates no battle had taken place. The fed eralists in the town were confident of success. The Eclipse brought 5510,000 in specie, con signed to various merchants in New Orleans. AMERICAN VESSEL SEIZED. The schooner Southerner arrived yesterday from Matamoras, reports that the brig A.E. cap tain Driscoll, bad been seized in the Brasses San tiago by the Mexican authorities, for some alleged violation of the revenue laws of Mexico. As the brig is well calculated for a vessel of war, and adapted for the shallow waters of the coast of Mexico, it is supposed she will not easily get released. Col. B. F. Furnish, U. States consul at Maz atlan, Mexico, came passenger in the schr. South erner. He is the bearer of despatches for our government. Five hundred Mexican government troops left Matamoras, 22d May, to join Bustamente against Tampico. Another soldier of the Revolution lias been gathered to his fathers. General Lenoir, who was prominent in many battles, died recently at his residence in Wilkes Co., N. C. at the age of 89. He had an eminent rank as private citizen up to the hour of his death. Extract of a letter to the editor of the New Orleans Louisiana!!, dated Grand Gulf, Miss., June 1, 1839. Dear Sir,—l hasten to inform you that yester day the greater portion of the beautiful little town of Port Gi son, about nine miies from Grand Gulf was destroyed by lire, which originated by acci dent, about 11 o’clock, A. M. The loss of pro perty is estimated at not less than seven hundred thousand dollars—by some persons at one mil lion. Most of the principal merchants are utterly ruined. The court house was totally destroyed, and the whole of the principal business streets is nothing but a heap of ruins The houses were principally of brick. I have just returned from the scene. Never in my life have I been more moved by the sight of calamity than this. The citizens and the strangers in town were in the greatest agitation; some of the unfortunate inhab itants were frantic with loss.—The Circuit Court of Claiborne county was in session last week, but this terrible calamity has caused the judge to ad journ the court, the records and papers rescued, from the burning court house being in too much confusion to be arranged easily for several days. It is to be hoped the sympathies of the whole country will be for the poor unhappy people of Port Gibson. From the New Orleans Courier, June 4. The Buckeye. A commercial house of this city, has furnished us with a letter detailing the accident of the Buckeye, from which the following is an ex tract:— On board Steamboat Sultana, at Paducah J May 31st, 1839. 5 \ ou have doubtless ere this heard of the disas ter of the Buckeye, on the night of the 29th inst. at about ten o’clock, six miles above Randolph.— She blew up; carrying her boiler and all her up per works forward of the wheels, overboard, and killing on the spot three men belonging to the boat and one passenger, and severely wounding several others; one of whom, Mr. Crctzinger, the pilot, died this day. While we have to lament the loss of so many lives, we have reason lobe thankful that those who are nearest and dearest to us are safe. Charles has made a most extra ordinary escape; although he was thrown into the air, amidst the ruin, some twenty or thirty feet, he has come off with a slight bruise on his right shoulder, and his face is slightly bruised on one side; he is doing well, and has received every attention to make him comfortable. The Sultana has the wreck in tow, and will probably leave her at Paducah; but Charles will goto Louisville with us. The captain and three other persons belonging to the Buckeye, are burnt ami bruised ; one of whom, a cabin boy, will pro bably die. 1 bis catastrophe was,doubtless, inconsequence of gross neglect on the part of an engineer who was passenger on board, but employed by the first engineer of the boat to stand watch in his stead. It is said that the boilers must have been nearly, if not quite dry, ns no one appears to lie scalded —but bruised and burnt with steam. Two of the boilers were thrown into the river, and the other on the top of the bank where she was landing to take in w ood. Further Particulars. —We learn, by the arrival of the steamboat Diana, the sufferers by the explosion on the Buckeye, to be as follows: Charles Gretzinger. pilot, [a young roan much respected ;] Thomas Rogers, mate; and three deck hands and firemen, all killed. Mr. Randolph, pilot; and Capt. Thompson, badly injured ; Mr. Starkey, clerk, slightly bruis ed. Neither of the engineers, nor any of the pas sengers, injured. Real estate in Cincinnati.—A lot was recently sold in this city at the rate of f 940 per foot. . From the New Orleans Picayune, June !>, Texas, i Fhc steamer ffuba, Capt. Carson, arrived from t Galveston yesterday, bringing H uston dates of the Ist inst. ami Galveston dates of the 31st May. Dr. Jas. H. Starr, formerly President of the Board ol Land Commissioners ol Nacogdoches county, has been appointed Secretary of the Trea ■ sury. The President has notified the Treasurer not to pay the drafts on certificates issued from the Auditorial Court. An individual had exhibited certificates for land of the Rio Grande and Texas Land Compa ny, which he had purchased in Illinois, but which were not worth a farthing. He had been the dupe of swindlers. A fellow had been seen with $lOOO counter feit change notes of the city of Houston. J'hc merchants of Bexar cannot supply the demand of the Mexican traders for goods. One trader (rom the Rio Grande had arrived with $17,000 in specie, which he intended to expend for merchandise. It it believed that goods to the amount ol $lOO,OOO could be readily sold at Bexar for specie or bullion. Several traders from Cuihualiua brought a considerable quantity of silver in bars, directly from the mines of that State. Between Bexar andSeguin, a party of survey ors, on the 14th ult, while on duty, heard the re port of fire arms near their camp, and returning to it, found that their companions, four in num ber, had been attacked by a party of Mexicans and Indians on their way from Matamoras with • arms and ammunition for the hostile Indians. The alarm was immediately given, and the| mur derers were pursued by Capt. Andrews, who however had to give over the chase in conse quence of his horse falling. His lieutenant, James O. Rice, with 17 men, overlook them about 15 miles from Austin, attacked and routed them, although more than doubling the number of his men. Three Mexicans were killed on the ground one of whom was their leader, Manuel Flores. All their baggage was captured, including about I three hundred pounds of powder, and a large quantity of lead, part ot which was in balls and shot, and part in bars. One hundred and four teen horses and mules were also captured. Among the papers found with the baggage were a number of letters from the Mexican com manders at Matainoias, to the chiefs of the Kick apoos, Caddoes, Cherakecs, Scminoles and other Indians within our borders, offering inducements for them to remove to Texas, and assuring them that they shall hold it by right of conquest should they be successful. The Telegraph says it is ev ident from the tenor of these letters that Canahso is ignorant of the character and resources of the different hostile tribes of Texas, and of the situa tion of the country claimed by them. His object evidently was to incite all the disaffected Indians to renewed hostilities, rather for the purpose of annoying our citizens, than with the expectation that they will be enabled to make any serious impression upon the country. It does not appear that he has cognizance of any extensive combi nation of the hostile tribes against the country The Hon. Janies Webb, late Secretary of State, has resigned that, office and has been ap pointed Attorney General, in the place of John G. Watrons, Esq. icsigned. The Hon. David G. Burnett, Vice President of the Republic, will act as Secretary of State until a permanent ap pointment is made. Mrs. Pamelia Mann, convicted of forgery, and sentenced to be hung by Judge Ftanklin of the present term of the District Court, has been par doned by the Executive and released from con finement. From the Macon Messenger. The Union papers are earnestly engaged in advocating the. cause of imnccTio.v. Labored 1 and elaborate statistical calculations arc made with the view of showing to the people, that the Union Parly, will not have quite the majority estimated by the Stales Right papers. What a pretty pass have we arrived at! when such a momentous question as the amendment of a State Constitution has been avowedly decided by reference to parly ascendancy. Men elected for the exercise of Ibis high prerogative, the high est that could be committed to them by the peo • pie, and sworn to the faithful discharge of their duty, instead of discharging their sacred bust, conscientiously with reference to the good of the entire State, and for the benefit of posterity— shamelessly and perfidiously avowing that their main and principal object was to secure a party ascendancy. The great leader of the Union party Mr. Springer, with more candor than judgment, avow ed this to be his object, and his tail, the rank and file men, faithfully to a man plumbed the line, and did his bidding. The papers may say what they please, and strive to the uttermost to re move these impressions. The Editor of the Constitutionalist, zealous a parlizan as he is. pos sesses too correct a sense of moral honesty, to justify such dereliction of duty. He therefore labors industriously to inculcate the notion, that the proposed distribution is not as exceptionable as represented. His endeavor is for the public to lose sight of the principle itself, and by reduc ing the quantum of evil to diminish their appre hensions. But the designs were too palpable to be mistaken. To say nothing of the remarkable unanimity of party, with which their projects were effected, the complete training and subordination which after the first two or three days character ized all their manoeuvres, it was time after time, again and again, avowed by party leaders, that the main object was, to secure the ascendancy of the Union party. We find fault ourselves with the plan of reduc tion. not because such consequences will ensue, but because it was the moving consideration with those who first proposed and accomplished it. Party domination is continually fluctuating, a county may be of one politics one year, and of another, the next. Such power is 100 ephemeral to be of much consideration. Were there no other objections, so desirable do we consider reduction, we should not have a word to say in opposition. But when we see that this I principle has been advocated, and with the appro j val of the people is to be established upon the | professed consideration alone that it is to main tain party ascendency, and for which object every I thing like fair equitable equalization, is to be i sacrificed, every honest man whatever, may be his politics, who regards the public weal, and the interest of posterity before party aggrandizement should oppose it.

Abctic Land EzrEinrioN.—Letters have been received from Messrs. Dease & Simpson, dated at Fort Confidence, Great Bear Lake, Sept. 16, 1838, giving a narrative of their unsuccessful attempt to explore the residue of the eastern pan of the coast of the Arctic sea. The season was ‘ cold and extremely unfavourable, and they were able to advance with their boats only to a point three miles from the site of Franklin’s farthest encampment, in 1821.

They propose to renew the attempt the present season, in hopes of finding a more open sea.— Boston Patriot, Brougham’* Portmit «*< Franklin. The following admirable sketch of the Ameri can philosopher, is from a new work by Lord Brougham, recently published in London, entitled —-Statesmen in the time of George 111.” It has not yet liccn published- in this country : One of llie most remarkable men certainly of our times as a politician, or of any as a philoso pher, was Franklin, who stands alone in com bining together these two characrersi-thc greatest that man can sustain, and in this, that having borne the first part in enlarging science by one of the greatest discoveries ever made, ho bore the second part in founding one of the greatest cm pircs in the world. In this truly great man every thing sect’s to concur that goes towards the constitution of cx alted merit, f irst he was the architect ot Ins own fortune. Born in the humblest station, he raised himself by his talents and his industry, first to the place in society which may be attained with the help only of ord.nary abilities, great application, and good luck; but next to the loftier heights which a daring and happy genius alone can scale; and the poor Printer's hoy who at one period of his life had no covering to shelter his head from the dews of night, rent in twain the proud domin ion of England, and lived to he the Ambassador of a Commonwealth which he had formed, at the Court of the haughty Monarchs of France who had been his allies. Then he had lieen tried by prosperity as well as adverse fortune, and had passed unhurt through perils of both. No ordinary apprentice, no com monplace journeyman, ever laid the foundations of his independence in habits of industry and temperance more deep than he did whose genius was afterwards to rank him with the Galileos and the Newtons of the old world. No patrician to shine in eoi.rtr, or assist at, the Councils of Monarchs, ever bore his honors in a lollly station more easily, or was less spoilt by the enjoyment of them than this common workman did when negocialing vvith Royal representatives, or caress ed by all the beauty and fashion of the most hril j liant Court in Europe. Again he was self-taught in all he knew. His hours of study were stolen from those of sleep and of meals, or gained by some ingenious contrivance for reading while the work of his daily calling went on. Assisted by none of the helps which affluence tenders to the studies of the rich, he had to supply the place of tutors by redoubled diligence, and of commentaries, by repeated pe rusal. Nay the possession of books was to be ! obtained by contriving what the art he himself j exercised, furnished easily to others. Next, the circumstances, under which others succumb he made to yield, and bent to his own purposes—a successful leader of the revolt that ended in a complete triumph after appearing des perate for years; a great disvovererin philosophy without the ordinary helps to know ledge; a wri- I ter fumed for his eliustc style without a classical education, a skilful negociator though never bred to polities ending as a favorite, nay, n pattern of fashion, when the guest of frivolous Courts, the life which he hud begun in garrets and work shops. Lastly, combinations of faculties, in others deemed impossible, appeared easy and natural in him. The philosopher, delighting in speculation, was also crninetly a man of action. Ingenious reasoning, refined and subtle con ultation, were in him combined witlbprompt irsolutinu, and in flexible firmness of purjHMMt. To a lively fancy he joined a learned anil deep reflection; his ori ginal and inventive genius stooped to the conve nient alliance of the most ordinary prudence in every-day affairs ; the mind that soared above the clouds, and was conversant with the loftiest of human contemplations, disdained not to make proverbs, and leign parables fop the guidance of apprenticed youths and servile maidens ; and the hands that ohelnhad a free constitution for a whole continent or drew down the lightning from heaven, easily and cheerfully lent themselves to simplify the apparatus by which truths were to bo illustrated, or discoveries pursued. His discoveries were made with hardly any ap paratus at all; and if, at any time he had been led to employ instruments of a somewhat less or dinary description, he never seemed satisfied un til he had, ns it were, afterwards- translated the process by resolving the problem with such sim ple machinery, that you might say he done it wholly unaided Iry- apparatus,- The experiments by which the iudoutity of lightning an<Jelectricity was demonstrated, were made with a sheet of • brown paper, a hit of twine, a silk thread, and an iron key. I pon the integrity of this man, whether in public or in private life, there rests no stain.- •Strictly honest and scrupulously punctual in all his dealings, he preserved in the highest fortune that regularity which he had practised as well us inculcated in the lowest. In domestic life he was faultless, and in the in tercourse of society delightful. There was a constant good humor and a playful wit, easy and of high relish, without any ambition to shine, the natural fruit ol his lively fancy, his solid natural good sense, and his cheerful temper, that gave his conversation an unspeakeahle charm, and alike suited every circle, from the humblest to the most elevated. Willi all his strong opinions, so often solemnly declared, so imperishable recorded in his deeds, he retained a tolerance for those who differed with him which could not be surpassed in men whose principles hang so loosely about them as to he taken up for a convenient cloak, and laid down when found to impede theii pro gress. In his family he was every thing that worth, warn affections, and prudence could con tribute, to make a man both useful and amiable, respected and beloved. In religion he would he reckoned by may a lu titudinariiui, yet it is certain that his mind was imbued with a deep sense of the divine perfection, a constant impression our accountable nature, and a lively hope of future enjoyment. Accord ingly, his deathbed, the test of both faith and works, was easy and placid, resigned and devout, and indicated at once an unflinching retrospet of ho past, and a comfortable assurance of the fu ture. If vve turn from the, truly great man whom we have been contemplating, to his celebrated con temporary in the DM World, (Frederick the ft real.) who only affected the philosophy that Franklin possessed, and employed his talents for civil and military affairs, in extinguishing that in dependence which Franklin’s life was consecrated to establish (he contrast is marvellous indeed, between the Monarch and the Printer. “'GosrtxiNo jettons.”—This ancient mode of operating on'iuries, is pretty generally com plained of; hiring frequently productive of ill ef fects.. Av/ritcr in one of the Georgia papers, gives the following laughable* amount of the con fining of a jury, in the room of one of the county courts of that state; the bailiff being appointed to guard the door, and see that none of them bolted, or “ liquored,” was assailed by curses : oaths and sounds proceeded from the. interior; some were roaring like lions—some erylng like children—mewing likccats—neighing like horses, See. At last, he says, a consultation was held at the jury room, between the foreman and the bailiff; whereupon, the latter, putting his hat one side on his head, came into the court room and addressed the.fudge thus:—“ Mr. Tom Jukes says the jury can t agreoabout this here man, and If you keep him (i. c. Pom Jakes) without any grog any more, he'll lick you on sight!” The Judge ap pealed to the Bar, if this was not a contempt of court, and “Green and Lumpkin's Georgia Jus tice having been consulted, it was finally decided ; that as it was a threat addressed to the judge us a private individual, and was to whip him “on sight,” and not on the bench, it was not under the free, enlightened and democratic principles of Georgia legislation a contempt of court.
