M, 1860.—The official announcement of the state of the . pollat, the fate , , elections took .131 ace at the Hetet a. Ville yesterday morning,"hut without making any matettal .chaage,in the statement.l for warded to - you ' on'Tuesday last ; 'opts; we ace; now more clearly that the number of absten tions has been' unusually large. Thus, in the' First,Circurnsorlption, where Rochefort wasl elected, out , of nearly i 48,600 registered; electors, only 34,400 cast their votes. It is w matter of certainty to those who know the died trict, that the immense majority of these 14,000 electors who stayed away from the polls didi so because they were disgusted with >the: mingledbuf oonerY. scurrility and blasphemy; which have been exhibited during the pre vious electoral meetings, and did not think', that a Vote in favor of Carnot and against! Roehefort affinded them the opportunity of a', sufficiently strong protest against such scenes''' and principles. They therefore preferred to mark their reprobation by not voting at all. No one doubts but that almost - every one of those 14,000 non-voters records, in fact,i a vote against Rochefort, and ex presses nothing more than acquiescence , in the choice of Carnot, though with-: out giving the latter any active support. Thee abstentions, in short, represent a far stronger; conservative element opposed to radicalismo and ultra opinions, in the First Electoral Di-1 vision, than any one previously supposed tol exist there. Had a younger and more popu- . , lar man than Carnet, with opinions a shade; less advanced than those of the ex-member of the .Provisional Government of 1848, beeni found to oppose Rochefort, there is .no doubt that such' a candidate would; have united the 13,000 votes cast for ° . the former with the 14,000 non-voters,' and' that, in that case, Rochefort would have been!, ignominiously defeated. Even as it is, his; election hits been robbed of almost all prestigd, or significance. The Rappel itself sneers at his' dubious "triumph ;" and the Revell tells him plainly that his "success would have been! changed into discomfiture, if the elections had; been postponed a week or two longer." Such,t you may rest assured, is the reel interpreta- t tion to be put upon Rocheforfa election,which has now little or no significance as a serious: pohtical manifestation. In the Eighth. Electoral Division, again, the non-voters amount to the enormous num ber of 17;000, or very nearly as many as the votes (10,006) given to Arago, the successful candidate. Here again, it is still more certain, from the character of the circumscription, that the large abstention is a protest against: post violence of language and extreme • opin-; ions ; and there being no candidate in presence, on the liberal side of more moderate views , than Arago, these 17,000 electors preferred showing their dissatisfaction by not voting at all. In the Third and Fourth Circomscriptions the abstentions were less numerous, probe- • bly because many of the same class of voters who stayed away from the poll in the other divisions, gave their support to such candi dates as M. Allen and M. Pouyer-Quertier.' The sum of all is, that Paris has not shown itself, in the late elections, so black as it has been sometimes painted, nor nearly so "irre. concilable," "revolutionary" or "socialist" as the comparatively small knot of rowdies who have been "representing" it during the last few weeks at public meetings would have made one believe. With the exception of Rochefort, every one of the "Bads" has been sent to the right-about, and even the old Left have been taught that thesooner they leave off coquetting with the men of the Imelda, insurrections and barricades, the bet ter. What could be a stronger proof of this feeling than that Gent, the man who was con victed and transported under the Republic itself for insurrection, and sent to Nottka hiva, received only 5,000 votes out of an elec toral division of near 50,000. The character, therefore, of the Paris elec tions, has, been that of reprobation of all violent measures, coupled with most deter mined hositility to personal government, and a resolution to submit to it no longer. I con eider this attitude assumed by the capital, within a few days of the Imperial speech and the reassembling of the Chambers, to be most important. It ought to convince the Emperor that the country is not to be " frightened" by his " tricks, " or diverted from the real point at issue between himself and the nation, by the st. ectre of anarchy which he has allowed, at least, if 'notencouraged, -- to raise itself up again, with that intention. But he will only really yield up political poiver at the last moment, and when fairly reduced to the alternative of either. do ing so, or having recourse again to that ma terial force which he once used, but which he knows he dare not adopt a second time against the will of the nation expressed and carried out in a constitutional form. It is in this di lemma that ho still resorts to shifts, and clings to his present subservient ministers, procras tinating, as is his wont, and unwilling still to hold out his wrists to the constitutional hand cuffs. One cannot quite wonder at his reluc when - tance, for once the fetters are well on, it may be somewhat difficult to say how the imperial captive will be treated by his con querors 11113 The continued agitation against free-trade and the English Treaty, as it is called, IraS' compelled the Government to re `open the entire question of its commercial policy for discussion previous to die 4th of February, 1870, before which date, if at all, the treaty must he "denounced." With this view a Commission of Inquiry has been ap pointed by the Emperor, to be presided over by the Minister of Commerce. This Commis sion is to report on the state of those manufac tures which have been specially affected by the treaty, and •to draW •up bills to be pre sented to the Chamber, and which, with such changes and modifications, if any, as the report shall suggest, shall then be pro posed to the Legislature as permanent legal enactments, in place of the existing com mercial treaties, which were made by author ity of the Rxecutive only. This proplsition, of course, submits the whole question once more to the Chambers and the country ; and it is somewhat difficult at this moment to fore see precisely what may be the result. I ap prehend, however, that the country at large will be apposed to a return to restrictive regulations. The Empress is expected daily in Paris.

PERE HYACINTHE. !Os Merida' e In Noir' IfortriChartly, Bell. leacy,' %thirty omit alb e.... The • Americans the Foremost Nation of the World. The following, from the Herald, is a full ab stract of the address made ,b Father Hyas cintheat the Acadeftiy Of Medi: Nevr York, last night • • - • • - Father Hyacinthe stopped up to the foot lights and was received with great 'applause. He looked calmly around, and glancing at, his audience from pit to'dome, he seemed at once to have taken the measure of: its intellectual capacity, for, before be, spoke a single, word to the auditory, he whispered to Mr. Caylus. ".k let connam." Bowing, the reverend gen tleman spoke suledantially as follows : And I also, on cording to this country, had formed the resolution to keep quiet, not to speak, but to study the nature and the char acter of its people. I came to learn, to study, but not to speak. Yet how could I decline when '1 find France in America? I was called, upon by the French Benevolent Society 'to come to their aid in their noble objects in helping the poor in the, approaching winter. The French population Of New York. is 'Very small, but they need not be less proud of it, for the name of Lafayette stands by 'the side of Washington, and Frenchmen are found named in the history of this country. I have to excuse myself on , account of my inability to speak as I would wish to speak. The climate, which I am not accustomed to, is the cause of it, and, as you see, lam suffering from it. Yet would be happy to sacrifice 'my health in your Company, ladies and gen ' tlemen. The subject of my discourse this evening will be the rule of life, and in it charity will find its place. Our century is one of practical life. We must learn to govern ourselves. And to do this should be the main object of our ex istence. The government of conscience is the government in fact. 'Now we mast define this more clearly. In olden times it IVaS all mystified, unclear to the: common Aye ; but vie in This time of progre.ss must find means in our hearts to enlighten us. Vita proeedit. Life is a movement ; the point of,departute, or rather the impelling power, finds its aid in death. The heart is the starting point of all our actions, and be would enjoin his bearers to follow the old adage tiorde ton eteur"--keep watch over your .heari. If I were to explain it I might make a distinction between the soul and the body, the soul being in the erhotiorui of the heart- There la'reason and sense in this. Man is like au angel, it is said, but man's cold and obscure reasoning power subjects him to the im pulses of his passions. But man can never find means to overcome the entire weak ness of his passion. During a long period of seclusion and'etudy I myself sought for it in vain. This elevation to the lofty, regions, this purifying process, i's, when accomplished,the very lean of life. It •is idealizing life. It comes from the heart. Hence, if he would 'attempt td deSeribe the central motion of the heart he would callit the lord of the blood,for the heart is the man. It beats first- in' the breast of the child, and it stops only with the last breath of old age. It is,,therefore, I say, that the heatt is the roaster of the man, but there are two hearts—one the spiritual and one the material. • • The heart is love, and contains the power to love_ True man is, without doubt, true love ; he has free will, and if he goes to the root of things he will find love. The reverend gen tleman quoted some passage from SL'Augus tine, and related a legend of a peasant who was sketching a picture and the devil stand ing behind him,and saying; " Thou art in love." The p easant turned around, and 'asked " Why?" to Which he received the response, " One can see it in your drawing." Love, either for good or evil, is the true barometer and leaves its traces through life. If he were per mitted to express a desire he should wish that all mankind were men of heart.. It is that which is wanting in our present century. People are egotists, selfish, speculating, ex hibiting a. heart to the public which they do not possess. The heart is the main artery of social life, as marriage is the root of the family. Let us be men of heart without any reservation. In holy Church the institution of marriage among the administrators of the Gospel id pro hibited. Nevertheless, he explained it very eloquently as a marriage of the man to the Church, concluding with the n mark that how ever sects may differ, the spirit and not the letter of the law should be the guide, for the letter kills while the spirit imparts life. This part of the reverend gentleman's lecture was loudly cheered. A quotation from H. W. • Longfellow was aptly put in, to the effect that the future is not to be trusted and that thepast should be left among the dead. He would now mention how we should direct our course. There are two paths--one the celestial and one theterrestrial. Shall we turn . our steps exclusively to this world—hunt for its pleasures ? That would be the life of the materialist who lives only in the dust of this our planet. Or shall we live the life of a Spiritualist, and thus feint to live in an, audacious manner? [pheers.[ It be hooves us to reconcile the things of the earth with those of heaven. For the foundation of 'all we must take 'the Bible. When he opened that book he found that there was an Eden ; and when he came to this country he saw that steam and electricity shad made an Eden of this Continent. When God created the world he felt that there was something wanting. The reverend gen tleman spoke of the biblical account of the creation, and said that Adam was not perfect, though he was king and priest, and, was in communication with angels. But God gave him Eve, for it was not good that man should be alone. Celibacy is cowardice, which can not be approved. Marriage is without stain before God and man, and to accomplish the welfare of our present and future life is to direct our steps to heaven by the road of this World. Jesus was the first who knew how to unite the worldly with the heavenly; the Jews did not comprehend it. The American country is destined to be the foremost nation of the globe—the grand union of humanity. The Admirable constitution, which has been formed on the basis of cosmopolitism, gives to hu manity a whole continent. There was no dis tinction of nationalitY, religion or color under the constitution ; one language from one end of the country to the other, and schools for all alike to educate them. 13;this the American people are destined to be the first nation of the world. • After quoting the Bible and indulging in , some remarks purely ecclesiastic, he alluded to the President's Message—to that portion of it which referred to the general prosperity of the country—and came to the conclusion that in the principle of self-government, and free- Awn of speech and thought, lay the root of all the iirosperity of the A.merican people. He wished tat was like, this in Europe. On his re turn he will speak to the people there and tell them that to be free they must follow the ex ample of America, and walk in the path of Jesus Christ, who is the grand hope of man kind. s-• SPANISH €III.IEITI - Ii IN CUBA.

This morning the train reached Utica on time. It was drawn from the main track to the branch, where some cars were left and arrangements made for proceeding east. Mr. Frawley, the associate brakeman on Adams's train, saw the deceased alive for the last time about half-past one o'clock. Both were then standing near the engine of their train. Frawley started to the rear and occupied him self with usual duties and a few moments later the train was in motion. It is supposed (nothing certain is known) that Adams climbed on to the tank of the en gine, and in attempting to step from the ten der to the deck of the forward freight-car, missed his footing and fell. The entire train, which consisted of twenty ears,passed over his body. This, of course, produced death. The man was not, missed immediately, and presently an empty engine shot across his re mains. Five or ten minutes passed; the casualty remained undiscovered, and then an engine and eight cars passed over the mutilated body. A few minutes later Charles Niermiere, a switchtender, stumbled on to the mangled mass, prostrate between the tracks, and so shockingly mutil ated as to bear lithe of human form or sem blance. The switobtender notified the train "despatcher, Mr. Charles F. Hand, of the oc currence, and the conductor of Adams's train returned, and, after vainly searching for Adams, came to the conclusion, that the mutilated remains before him 'were those of the missing brakeman. Mr. Hand moved the main fragments of the body offto the side of the track and 'started in search of Coroner Monroe The Coroner,procuring a coffin, was assisted . by several in placing 'the remains of deceased in the bestpos.sible shape. The head I was terribly smashed, the skull bones. being broken into line. pieces. The ribs, are a broken, some of them in many , places. Both arms, are severed, and the detached pieces are cut and broken in a dozen places. The right 'limb was severed frotri the trunk; it is not broken less than twentftimes. 'The left limb is,as horribly mashed and cut up as the other. The body is probably in six or eight hundred' &w thill off, and , paraded em throughthe streets affixed to bayonet points. -Tire Cap, , tain-General rejorted to be looking into the The latest intelligenco from Puerto Principe , confirms the rumor 01 the defeat of the Cam lans„at Ilan Jose, and likewise the news with' respect tp the exceedingly severe punishment , inflicted upon the nagroo in the jurisdiction •oFSagua.

SMALL WE RECOGNIZE. CUBA? Unfavorable Aspect of the Cuban Ques , tlon In Congress. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says : At the dinner party given by Governor Swann to his fellow members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs last evening, the question of Cuba was the main subject of conversation. It was brought up- by an inci dental reference of one of the gentlemen pre sent to the allusion to Cuba in the President's Message. From the interchange of opinions that took place, it seems that all •the members of the committee, Democrats as Weil as Republicans,. are opposed• to any action, at present, especially anything like urg ing the President to accord belligerent rights, to the Cubans. General Banks, the Chairman' of the Committee, • was not present, not hav ing returned from Europe; but it is thought his influence would not be sufficient, even if be were here, to overcome the members of, the Committee so as to get them to favor Cuba. The Senate Committee on Foreign. Relations is divided on the subject Mr. Sin. ner, its Chairman, is more deter mined than ever in his opposition to the recognition of- the , insurgents. His position has been greatly strengthened by the, tone of the President's Message on foreign' affairs; for whatever interpretation other per- Sons may put npon the President's language i towards Cuba, Mr. Sumner thinks it decidedly. against them , or rather against their recogni timi, which is the Caine thing. General Camerim, the second member on the corn- • ' mittee, is fritndly to the Cubans, and is doing all he can, in a quiet way, to get their case before the Senate, 90 that it may have a fair hearing. His' resolution offered to-day calling for infor mation from the President with regard to the progress of the revolution will, he hopes, bring out something which may be more con-, vincing to Senators than it has been to Sec retary Fish,that the Cuban cause has assuinect au& a, shape as to entitle it to attention from , our government. Senators Morton and Schurz are also understood to be favorable to' the Cubans, but Harlan, Patterson and Cas serly are said to be 'with Sumner,though open to argument and conviction. • THE GREAT COUNCIL. Arrangements of the Sessions Room. The Journal 011iciel of the 23d of November publishes the following account of • the pro gress made at Rome for the assembling of the (Ecumenical Council : The preparations 'in St. Peter's are almost finished, and nothing has been neglected to make them harmonize with the grandeur of the cathedral. The Pope paid several visits to the cathedral to inspect their progress, also to the superb. Chapel of Sixtus-Quintus, and thence to inspect the con vent erected by Michael Angelo on the site of the Baths of Diocletian, in which the exhibition of religious art objects is to be held. This is a magnificent building; the arcades are sup ported by a hundred columns, and in the centre of the quadrangle is a line fountain, surrounded with cypress trees era gigantic size, said to have been planted by Buonarotti himself. On Mount Janiculum they are ac tively at work in the erection of the column designed to commemorate the assembling of the Council, in the construction of which the choicest marbles have, been used, among others the green marble of Africa, and ether rare kinds found in the emporium where the marbles were deposited under the empire. The base and stunmit of the monument will be composed of white Carrara marble, and will be twenty-six feet in height. The base of the column will be ornamented on one of its faces with a representation of the ceremony of opening the. Council, on an •other with the papal insignia, and on the others will be engraved in. Latin the circum stances connected with its construction. The column will be surmounted by a bronzo statue of St. Peter, holding in its left hand the sym bolical keys, and the right arm extended as it in the act of pronouncing a benediction on Rome.
