The 'result of yesterday's eleetion is still un decided. •It is alleged that, fraud tuts been discovered in the twelfth Ward; which Rave Farren, (Dem ,) for Mayer, about 600 majori ty, and it is now proposed to throw out the entire veto. If this is done; Taylor the Know Nothing candidate; will have,about 100 major ity; but if the vote of this ,ward is counted, Farren will have from 400 to 500 majority.— The Eleventh Nlrd, the ballot box( s of which were destroyedy the mob, is- supposed tp have given Far-re , from 600 to 700 majority : and had the entire vote of the city been coun ted, the whole Democratic ticket would have been elected by from 500 to 1000 majority. There was nn more rioting last night Tit( exettement is still very great.', It is suppos ed that ten or twelve persons Wave been kil'ed or mortally wounded. Pistols were discharged indiscriminately, and the only wonder is, that the destruction of life was not greater. It was altogether, the most disgraceful election day ever eitperienced in Cincinnati. CINCINNATi, April 3-3 P. M It was ascertained upon an investigation of the ballot boxes in the Twelfth Ward, that they contained fifty five more tickets than there were names on the poll books, and ono of the Judges of the election insisted upon throwing out the entire vote, Ind the other Would not agree to the proposition. While the Judges were counting, the votes a body of men forced their way into the room, and sei zing the boxes containing the tickets, carried them to ?ether with the tally sheets, into the open stroet, and burned thew in the presence of the crowd. The votes of the I lth and 12th wards are thus destroyed. The votes of the remaining, wards give .Tnyhyr. the Know Nothing enndi date for Mayor. 47.7 majority.

CINCINNATI, April 3-9 P. M The excitement continues without abate ment. The cannon taken from the German .1 yesterday by the Americans. was quietly con veyed from the Public Landing this afternoon, by the former. An immense number of pe- ple are assembled in the Fifth street Market space. They home sent a committee -to the Freeman's Hall, over the canal for the pur pose of regaining the cannon, end have re solved that, if not given up forthwith, -they, will go and take it'egain. This they will at tempt if necessary, and a7otber serious riot will probably mind. The excitement continued until a late hour last night, and the Germiths'refusing to de liver up their cannon, the most exaggerated reports were circulated of disturbances, arid in many cases, German families, anticipati the renewal of the riot, and fearing attack, armed and fortified themselves in ti , arr houses. Nothing, however, transpired. This morning tho crowd ra-assembled in the Fifth street market space, and the greatest excitement was manifested. The. military are under arms awaiting orders. The Germans have agreed to deliver up their cannon at ten o'clock this morning, awl if this agreement is °lmplied with, it may prevent the threatened collis ion. CINCINNATI, April 4-1 P. M There has been no fighting to day. The Germans delivered up their cannon, but re• tained peaession of the wheels The parties are now cjiliirreling about the latter. The military are still under arms; but the indica tions are that the difficulties will be settled without further blood-shed. . CINCINNATI, April 4-6 P. M The military. this afternoon, under tho di rection of the Sheriff, marched over the canal. and took possession of the wheels of tho can• non that had been retained by the Germans. This having been accomplished, the crowd .dispersed, and matters are now rapidly quiet ing down. No further disturbances are ap pretended. It is understood that the Know Nothing held a meeting to-night, to express their views with refferonee to the late proceedings.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN WYTHEVILLE —April B.—A terrible tragedy occurred at Wytheville Va., on Saturday night, resulting in the death of an old and respected citizen, and the dan gerous wounding of three others. It appears that for some time .. Jost a man named J Austin Graham hasheen paying his attentions to 'the daughter of Mr. W. II Spiller, who it, reported 'to be worth aticut s2oo,ooo.—Gta ham was unsuccessful in his suit from the fact that the young lady was engaged to be married ton physician named Dr. Hemet. Graham en account of this state of things, has been very violent, and threirtmed to take the life of his rival the first opportunity that . offered. On Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, Gra ham entered the Wytheville Hotel, kept by Mr. Thomas J. Boyd, where Mr. Spiller wa: sitting, in company with Mr. C. F. Trigg, teller of the Exchange Bat k at Abiogdon; Mr. C. Cox, an attache of the hotel, and Mr. Terry: Graham drew a revolver awl commenced firing into the crowd, killing Mr. Spiller at the first fire. Mr. Cox is vtry badly - Wounded, but will, it is thought, recover., Messrs.. Terry and Trigg were wounded, but not seriously. The mur derer fled immediately after the commission of the bloody deed, and has not since been heard from. A SINGULAR Ixemsynow was lately attempt ed by act Massachusetts Legislature, arising out of the excessive Know Nothing zeal of that body. A Special Committee was appoint ed to visit and examine all " theological semi naries, boarding schools, academies, nunneries and convents," in order to ascertain whether any specie s of injustice was practiced in such establishments, which ought to be "remedied by law. This Committee commenced its labors by visiting a school in Rozbity kept t y so en Catholic Sitters of Charity; No lets than twenty-four persons went as - the Committee, and made a' thorough investigation of the es tablisment, omitting no chrimb r, Latrine, clo ;et, attic, or cellar, to .too?.rtitin whether instruments ''of torture, &0., could be found. The search was without effect, except to cause a great public excitement, and bring the whole . proceeding into deserved odium and contour, which, it is tape hoped, will result in the re, linquishment Of further proceedings.
