The result of the recent elections, every where, show a decided Whig gain, and are of the most cheering character. The noble man ner in which our political friends, throughout tho Untoih conduct themselves on the heel of the Presidential defeat last fail, is highly aus picious and encouraging. Whenever our for ces shall be marshalled for a geneVal fight, we Iiave no doubt they will mnster'stroiiger -than -ver before, and march orfio a glorious victory. The signs vf the times indicate a great political revolution. Massachusetts O. K. The election which took place in this State on Tuesday the 1 lih inst., has resulted in fa vor of the Whigs. The majority of Briggs, ihe Whig candidate for. Governor, over Davis, Loco, is 14,660. There were five candidates in all, and Briggs lacks but 1,439 votes of beat ing them all. All the Senators elected are "Whigs not a single Loco being -chosen. In the House, the Whigs have 160, the Locos 49, and the Natives 3. Whigs over all 108, enough for all useful purposes. The Old Bay Slate is Whig to the core! Success to her. Latest from Mexico. Despatches have been received by our gov ernment at Washington, it is said, from Mexi co, of a very important nature. Mexico propo es.thai our Naval Squadron shall be withdrawn from the Gulf; diplomatic relations resumed ; ministers mutually appointed; and negotiations entered into for the adjustment of all existing difficulties, the settlement of a boundary be tween the countries, and ihe compensation which shall be paid to Mexico for the new boundary. - Cur Public Works. , ,tTbe, receipts for lolls on the Pennsylvania Canals and Rail Road this year, will, it is .esti mated, reach one million of dollars. This will beabout one-half the interest on the State debt. Our Congressman. Richard Brodhead, our Repiesentative in Congress, leaves Easton to morrow (Friday) for Washington, to be in his seat at the open ing of the Session. We are informed that he thinks his chance for the Speaker's Chair as good as that of ,any of the . other aspirants, in the .scramble which 4s likely to occur. We bhall see. The Last Appeal. We have concluded to make one more ap peal to our delinquent subscribers to pay up their arrearages, before we place their accounts in the hands of a justice of the peace for col lection. We do this in the hope that by sla ting our case to them plainly and distinctly, that we are poor -and cannot get along without re' ceiving what they owe us, they will see the in justice of negl.eciing any longer lo pay us our ju6t dues. Ever since the paper came into our .bands, we have endeavored to make it a useful and instructive sheet ; and the estimation in which ,it 16 held by the community at large, Ba;itfies us that our efforts to please have not been .unavailing. Our expenses have been considerable. For months past, the paper we have used, has been of a very superior quality, and cost us a great deal. Our other expendi tures have also been proportionably large and fve are iherefore obliged to have money. If our subscribers pay attention to this call, and pay tip, we will charge them ho more than the usual price. But if they are still neglectful, and make us no satisfaction,' we $vill in a few weeks leave their accounts with a. magistrate, arid insist upon 2,50 a year, as provided for in our published terms.

The Rov. Mr. Scribner will preach a sermon adapted to the occasion. As such ob servances are highly proper in themselves, and practised in -most of the States of our Union, it is hoped that the very proper recommendation of our executive should be attended to in a de vout and becoming manner. The Rev. Mr. Edwards, will also preach on the occasion, in the Meihodist Church. ' The Farmers' Library. The November Library is before Us, and ranks with the best of its predecessors. We wish we could induce every farmer in Monroe and Pike to become subscribers to this work. It would be five dollars well put at interest for them. The Whiff Almanac for 18-16. Messrs. Greeley & McElralh, have already published iheir Whig Almanac for 1846. It is superior to that of any other year. We intend to send lo New York for a number of copies on Wednesday next ; and all who wish to secure a copy can do so by leaving their name with us before the expiration of that time. Price 12 1-2 cents. The largo and spacious public house, owned by Samuel Darling-, and occupied by Daniel Decker, situated on the Milford and Owego Turnpike,, in Lackawaxeu township, was de stroyed by fire on Friday afternoon, the 7th in stant. t Mr. Decker saved most of his furniture in a damaged slate, and his loss will be about $200. The house, we are informed, was in sured in the Wayne County Mutual Insurance Company for $1200, which will about cover his loss. Florida Election. The " Floridian" of the 1st states thai, so far as the returns have been received, Cabell, (Whig) was 37 votes ahead of Brockcnbrough ; but thai several re turns were yet to come in officially, which would elect B. by 111 majority. The " Flor idian" says : If no further returns are received by next Tuesday, Mr. Cabell will have, accord ing to those now in, 37 majority, and must be declared elected ; but doubts if he will lake his seal under the circumstance?. Important Notice to Postmasters. The Union gives the following important notice lo postmasters throughout the country. We call upon them lo read it with care and attention: We are desired to call the attention of post masters to regulations No. 549, which provides for ihe convenient transmission of money from subscribers to editors of newspapers. It is the duty of postmasters to receive the money from a subscriber, and give a receipt for it. It is the duty of the postmaster receiving the money to give notice to the postmaster who has it lo pay, of the amount received and for what edi tor, and mark the letter "official business" and sign his name to it. The postmaster receiving the notification will pay the receipt when pre sented. The subscriber who gets the receipt, may send it by mail or otherwise to the editor. The new law prohibits postmasters from enclo sing and franking money to editors. The rea son of ihe rule is obvious. A large proportion of the money heretofore lost in being transmit ted through the mails, is money sent to editors and franked to posfmasiers. The frank of a postmaster upon the letter addressed to an edi tor, is notice to every one who handles the let ter that it contains money. This rule, when understood, insures the payment of money, without discount to editors, and avoid depreda tions upon the post office. "New Codnterfeit. A new counterfeit S3 note purporting to have been issued by the Bank of Wilmington, Delaware, was on Thurs day last passed at a Dry Gooda Store in Sec ond street, Philada. The note is letter A, No. 2366, S. Floyd, Cashier, H. Latimer, Presi dent, and made payable to Thomas Wilson. On the left side is a figure of Jupiter, with air eagle at bis feet ; in the eagle's claWs is a shield with a rising "tin on it, and to the right a view of several men cradling. In the genu ine note, the sceptre of Jupiter is over his shoulder, while in the counterfeit it is on his arm. On the right hand side is a head -of Washington., On the -.lower margins ate the words " Real Eiatc Pledged," showing that the counterfeit has been altered from one of the broken New York Banks. Michigan Election, Felch, Loco-Foco, will have about 2,000 majority for Governor. The Whig candidates for Senator are .thought to be elected in ihe 2d, 4th. arid 5th Districts. The House yof,..Rt?pVse.utaiives will probably stand 20" Whigs to 33sLoc6 Focos.v The royal plate, kitchen garden, deer, dogs and ponies, are tints described by -the ed itor of Smith's Weekly Volume, w ho is now travelling, in England : "After lunch, we went to visit the Queen's new kitchen garden, near Frogmore ; Mr. Jes se's station admitted us where strangers cannot otherwise penetrate. One hundred and sixty thousand dollars have lately been expended on this new garden for royally; the forcitigliouses are extensive; tho glasses move by machinery like watch or clock work. We pared the su perb graperies, pineries, peach and nectarine forcing-houses, and tasted fine specimens of ihe Qeen's fruits ; the Chasselas grapes and Prince Albert strawberries were certainly nev er exceeded for excellence. On my observing that Dr. Brinckle, of Phil adelphia, had solved that difficult problem in which European gardeners had failed, of hyb ridising the Alpiue strawberry with the large cultivated kinds, and thus, producing' a perpetu al bearer, the head gardener, Mr. Ingrain, ex pressed the strongest interest; said he had not succeeded in his various attempts, and begged that I would endeavor to forward him a few plants, in order that he might servo the royal table with '.his delicious fruit at unseasonable periods. I have promised for my friend, Dr B., that the Queen shall be gratified ; she has already eaten canvass back ducks from Ameri ca with gusto, from a parcel sent over to the late Granville Penn, who forwarded a portion to his neighbor ai Windsor. I little thought, when going to England, that 1 could suggest any novelty for the Queen's table. By th fre quency with which the subject was mentioned, I was impressed with its importance, and have written to Dr. Brinkle to induce him lo fulfil my promise made in his name. From the library we went to the apartment called technically "the gold room;" it is this to which I wish to call your attention. I surveyed it leisurely, and do not remember to have read a description of its contents, nor can I give even an outline of its various treasures; I com menced taking notes from the mouth of the cus tode, who with his various assistants is every day of the year fully employed in cleaning the plate, but he said il was contrary to orders to allow any notes to be taken. What memoran da I did make, and what I remember accurate ly, I will state, trusting that my letter will not be opened, and I convicted of treason. To begin ; the whole collection is valued at twelve millions of dollars ! There are glass cases like a silversmith's shop, and behind the glass are the principal articles ; would you be lieve that 1 ihere saw, a dinner service gilt of the most gorgeous kind, "presented by the mer chants of 'Liverpool, to the late William the Fourth, long before he was king, in reward for his advocacy of the sluve trade 1 Believe it or not, there it is, with the inscription telling the tale. There is a salver of an immense size, made from the gold. snuff boxes alone of George the Fourth the lids and inscriptions curiously pre served on the surface in a kind of mosaic of gold; its value fifty thousand dollars Then you may see near it Nell Gwynn's bellows the handles, nozzle, &c. of gold ! the golden peacock inlaid with diamonds and rubies from Delhi not as large as a pheasant, but valued at one hundred and fifry thousand dollars; the footstool of Tippoo Saib, a solid gold lion with chrysial eyes, ihe value of its gold seventy-five thousand dollars; George the Fourth's celebra ted golden candelabra for a dinner table, value0 at fifty thousand dollars, so heavy that two men are required to each. Piles upon piles of gol den plates, sufficient, to dine two hundred and fifty persons, with ample changes, were spread about or in the cleaner's hands. If this enumeration docs not satisfy your aching vision, wo will ask the custode, who seems extremely anxious, in the midst of so much treasure, and would evidently be glad to get rid of us, to open a long series of drawers. Here are 140 dozen each of gold knives and forks of various patterns of which he repeals the name; as "oak," "stag," "George the Third," and so on. Another set of dressers ! what can they contain ? Only 140 dozen each of gold tuble and tea spoons, all arranged in the most perfect order. Take another walk up and down the room, with glims cases on tables in iho middle, filled with gorgeous gold, and try to impress some form of taste more elegant than another. It is vain memory only carrius away a con fused idea of riches, such as . must have cost poor underground laborers lives pf loilj and sweat, and pain, to procure, merely lo pamper wealth and royalty; to do no good -to be almost as useless as il was in ihe mine, for it is rare ly produced, and- requires a host of human be ings merely to keep it bright. , A liule conversation, .with this king, of the gpldruom informed us.jhai 4r, was a pooMiiuo.to - . see the plate, because fifiycheMS wero removed lo be used by ihe Queen at Buckingham Palace! He said it, was an awful thing to have to get the plate out for a state dinner, it waysb heavy; and ihe frequent changes made it a labor to the pages more onerous than .the the most over tasked worker in iron. Mr. Jesse asked him if the recently inserted iron bars in a certain window had relieved his mind from anxiety re specting robbers. He said it had ; ''but you know," he added, turning lo me, "with so much plate one coul.l hardly sleep, when we knew one of the guards outside might be. bribed at any time, the wall mounted by means of lad ders, and a great theft be committed." I could scarcely refrain from saying what I thought that it would be a great blessing lo many of the poor of England and Ireland, if the metal was put in circulation. Here ihey do not think its being otherwise used than as il is would do any good. Even the radical Joseph Hume does not begrudge, he say.-, Windsor and all its contents; the whole nation is proud of il proud to have it bhuwii to foreign royal ty, and to boast that no other nation on the globe can make such an exhibition. Is it or is it not an empty boast 1 The royal pair have twelve thousand acres of land in all appropriated to them and their deer this is ihe quantity of land in the royal parks and grounds. They have thirty thousand deer ranging these grounds; land is expensive, and there is not too much of il. It is true thai a few people are begging bread all about, but then thirty thousand deer are reqoisi'e for royal state. Many a poor creature in Ireland would be glad of half that is expended upon one little dog at Windsor. As dogs have been named, let usMuavc St. George's Hall and the picture's for the present, and take a snuff-of the stables and kennels, and equestrian palaces. An appropriation was recently made in Par liament of three hundred thousand dollars ' to re build these appurtenances, and accordingly they arc luxuriously large, neat and airy. The rows of gray ponies there are forty when the Queen is here look sleek and comfortable, as if they knew what royal horse fare was. Among the horses is a Java nag, about the height of one's knee, presented to the Queen by some Eastern poteniate. Several of ihe royal carriages are plain such as you might drive at Philadelphia without exciting attention as ostentatious. There is a woman living within fifteen miles of Mobile, Ala., (Mrs, C.) who weighs four hundred and sixty pounds, being forty pounds heavier than the Hon. Dixon Lewis, member of Congress from that State. She is the mo ther of several children of unusual size, enjoys good health, and is good tempered. A Frightful Scene. We learn from the Richmond Whig, that at sunrise on ihe morning of the 3d instant, as one of the carriages of ihe menagerie, containing the lion, tiger, panther, &c, was in the act of starting for Petersburg, drawn by four horses, one of the horses took fright and attempted to run. This excited the lion, who roared from alarm, upon which tho whole team dashed off at full speed ; and, after running some distance, the wheels came in contact with the posts planted along the sidewalk, smashing three of them, when finally one of ihe wheels was knocked off from the axle, the driver pitched inio the street and seriously hurt, and the wag on upset. The forewheels being by this means detached, the horses proceeded furiously until they were stopped by obstacles in the street. Fortunately the cage was strong, and held its enraged prisoners. According to Mr. Wakley, all that is requi site to cure the most inveterate stammerer, is that, he should inhale or draw in his breath strongly before attempting to speaks Two hundred and fifty new buildings have been erected in Reading since springtwice the number ever before built in ono season.

He entered a tailor's shop, and on seeing ihe tailor's wife a beautiful woman he without ceremony stole j kiss fronvthe lady and remarked : " There ! now tell your country women that the son of ihe King of England has kissed a Yankee tailor's wife." Unhappily for him, her husband, the iaior at that moment appeared from the back room' and being a siout fellow, gave the scion of roy alty a tremendous kick, exclaiming : " There ! now go and tell your country wo men, that a Yankee tailor has kicked the 3UII of the King of England." An Immense Crop. Messrs. Worth & Painter, the Committee on Crops, appointed by the Chester and Delaware Agricultural Society, have made the following report : " We have this day viewed the cor field of Paschall Morris on Allerton Farm, near West Chester, that we have calculated ihe field to contain over ten acres, and that the avera yield on the whole field is a hundred and onk bushels akd three pecks to the acre. "The corn was planted in hills four an.l a half, by four feet aparl, each way; four graini generally in a hill. The corn was cut up, anl put into shocks, containing six hills each way. Several of ihe shocks were taken down from different parts of the field, being an average in size as far as we are able to perceive, and up. on being husked, yielded nearly three busheli and a peck of ears each. An average one wai shelled in our presence, and yielded one bush el and a half and a pint of shelled corn. " Each shock having occupied 6 13 squire feet of ground, which being divided into number of square feet in an acre, will give ths number of shocks in an acre; this multiplied by the amount in each shock, will give the re sult as above slated. A portion of this field yielded 7 half hu.-heU of ears to the shock, which will give nn amount of over 110 bushels to the acre." From the New York Tribune. Wow York Market. Monday, Nov. 17.
