SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, IS4J. JOii our firs! page the reader will find an intercsijng Biography of Elder Joshua Lawrence, written by Mr. Robt. D Hart. -5- Sfae Elections. The Democrats have carried the day in New Jersey. The State Legislature will stand G Whirrs and 12 Democrats in Council; 22 Whin and 3(5 Democrats in Assembly; Democratic ma jority on joint ballot, 40. The Demo crats claim? to have elected the whole Con gressional Delegation, five members. Toe accounts from tha elections fo members of Congress in Pennsv Ivania give 12 Democrats to 12 Whins. Tin Democrats have a decided majority in lb'' SenatP, 22 Democrats and 1 1 whigs; and a Democratic majority in the House of 10 to 15. We believe we have now the final returns of the election for members of Co-igtcss-in Ohio, viz: 12 Democrats and 9 vVliigs. Democratic majority of 1 in the Slate Sen ate and a Whig majority of 1 or 5 in the House. Three democratic members of Congress are elected in the State of Maine. In f . i r Districts there was no choice. Another election has been ordered to be held on the 30th inst. Fro7n the Democratic Signal. "THE CONVENTION " The Central Committee havirg five I a day for the assembling of the Democratic State Convention, it now remains lor the Party in North Carolina to respond to this call made upon their patriotism and love of principles It may be that our friends. who are also friends wuu us- t the cause of Democracy, and with ushonnilv opposed to the principles and policy of the Federal paity, some of them are divided among themselves as to the man upon whom the party shall unite as their leader in the com ing contest as to who shall bear the banner which leads us on to victory. This dis sension may very safely exist, and we do not deprecate it if kept within the bounds of prudence and reason. There are ma ny in our ranks who have done service in the cause, an 1 who deserve well of the. i " - ; rU o T ; . ' Party.

Fire Again--AuoM 11 o'clock oe !ueday night last, the stoic owned b lale Francis Lamotte, situated on Craven street, and occupied by David J. Gieer, was discovered lobe on fire inside. Forlunale ly the fire had not progressed far. and by timely exertions was extinguished before much damage was done. Circumstances render it very probable that it was set on fire designedly. Newbernian. Providential Escape. The Rev. Mr. (-all, of Oxford, N.C. who was on his way to Vanceyville, toattend Presbytery, made the most miraculous escape from prema ture death on Tuesday last, that we ever chronicled. He was riding in a Sulky and v hile crossing Country-line Bridge, at this place, his horse became unmanageable and fell over the abutment of the Bridge, which dashed the Sulkey into fragments and threw Mr. C. at great length against the ground, his head brushing a post, in the fall, that must have shattered the skull bone had it come in more intimate contact with the post. Fortunately, however, the Reverend gentleman escaped without get ting hurt in the least degree a circum stance so strange as to justify the belief that Providence interposed. Milton Chronicle. From the Madisoninn. The Illinois Loans. The N--w York correspondent of the U. S. Gazette writes: The Illinois commissioners have succee ded in negotiating their loan of Si, 200,000 in London, subject to the report of a num ber of gentlemen, who have been appoin ted to ascertain the sum required to finis the works; and if the sum above named is sufficient, the money will be advanced forthwith. This will have a tendency lo strengthen the slock market, and is, I trust, the first movement towards expung ing repudiation from our State."

Marriage in the Street. Wc learn fr-iui the Missouri Courier i hat on the 20 h ultimo Squire J. F. Haban linked Mis-s E bzi Little to Mi. Nelson Aubrey, in tun of the streets of Palmyra. Ihe circum stances are a tittle romantic: it seems two families were travelling westward in com pany, with one of which was the fair lady. with the other the loving swam, who hid n lamines wiui ineir wagons parieo, e ten and follow that of her lover. On reach ing town ttiey jumped out of their wagon, called for the squire, hitched traces, and drove on "their way rejoicing." I he op position of her parents had nearly driven the young lady to a stale of distraction, so her lover drove her to the State of Illi nois. Death of the Hon. Lewis F. Linn. We sincerely regret to learn that the Hon. Lewis F. Linn, United States Senator fiom Missouri, was found dead in his bed, at his residence in St. Genevieve, on Tues day, the 3d instant, at 12 o'clock, M For some time past his health has be-.n feeble; he has been labor ing under an affec lion of the heart. The death of Dr. Linn will be a source of general regret. Through a life of activity and importint stations, he had won for himself the grateful affections of a numer nis boly of friends. He leaves a mosi amiable and interesting family and the Slate as his mourners. The Unruly Member. The Catlarau gu" (N.

Arrival of the Hibernia. The Cunard steamship Hiheinia arrived at her wharf at East Boston, on Wednesday, bringing Lo-ulon papersof the 3d and Liverpool ol the 4th inst. Commercial affairs still continued to im prove and all branches of trade wore art ac tive app-aru.ce. In tie manufacturing dis'ricts. it is said all is bustle and ac'ivity. The Cotton market had improved since the last accounts fully 1 S d. on American des criptions. Revolution in Greece The Hibernia brings news of a successful revolution in Gtccce. The inhabitants, accompanied by the entire garrison, man ned to ihe palace, and demanded a Constitution. The King a.-ceded to the demands of the people. A new ministry lias been formed, and it has been agreed that a Nation d Assembly should be called, within thirty days, for the put pose oi drawing up, in concert with the King, a new Cons! itut ion. It is Slid thai the King yielded wuth bad grace, when he found ihai all resistance on his part would be unavailing. It was 11 o'clock A. M. before his obstinacy was subdued. I he military bands were then playing the "M osiillnse" and the 'Pa risienne." which gave him cause to sup poe that dTiirs wight proceed to unpleas ant extremities.
