Althoucli some ten states ieinain to lie heard from, wc know enough or their character to say with confidence that the next congress will be dem ocratic in both branches, and that moro than half of the states will have a majority of Democratic congressmen iu the House. This lust point, which is generally a mailer of very lillle importance, has an cx ra interest just now, in consequence of the divided state ol the groat poliiica! parlies, and the consequent chance that there may be no election by the people, and that the choice of a President will devolve on the Representatives, as it did in 1821. The slates yet to be ascertained, are Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Texas, California, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi, which had, in the last congress 19 Whiga, and 43 Democrats. In the states which have aheady held cleclio is, the Democrats have a clear majority of 37 and ii the remaining states come in as well as they did at the last trial, il will be increased to 61. At the worst, it can haidly fall below 50.

Of the states which have elected, thiiteen have a majority of Democratic congressmen, seven a majority of Whig congressmen and four are equally divided. There can be scarcely a doubt that the Democratic party will prevail in the contest for the Presidency, before the people but should the election go to the House, the choice is iu their own hands. "fflie Elections. Kentucky. It is pretty much settled that the Democrats have carried their governor in this State, which is an event about as Btrange as the success of Boutwell in Massachusetts.

Kentucky is getting released from the iron influenco of Mr. Clay, as his chance3 of ever being President grow dim, and we have the pleasure at last to announce that Powell the Democratic candidate for governor is undoubtly elected, as he leads Crittendon's vote in 16 Counties 2,000 The Whigs however, have probably secured their Lieutenant Governor and have carried a majority of the legislature The delegation in Congress will be equally divided between the parties as we stated on Saturday, thus neutralizing the vote of the State in case the election for President should devolve on the House.

Taudy Interference An ordinance passed the Common Council some time ago to prevent persons from bathing in the river or waters surrounding the city in any public situation. The law did not seem to be heeded by any one, as the whole beach from the Atlautic Dock to Gowanus haB been speckled with swarms of bathers, in cases right under the windows of the houses on the beach, where all the varieties of color from ebony to sickly white intermingled like the variegated tints iu Jacob's coat of many colors.

Yesterday some of the Sixth Ward officers visited Hed Hook, and made a hat.l of some six score and ten bathers, taking as many of them into custody as they could conveniently drive before them. But the law Bhould have been enforced long ago as the season for public bathing will eoon expire, aud the public decency, if any such thing over existed, would have been outrageously violated all the summer by the molly crew thai have been exposing their snuff colored carcasses along the beach. Twenty of Hum were taken before Justice King this morning and were warned not to be guilly ol the like aain under a penalty of 5. So there is 6 worth of decency at Red Hook. Smoke or Suffer.

The Roman government seem determined to increase their revenue by compelling the people to use tobacco, or at least hy punishing those who would dissuade any from using it. The supreme tribunal of the Secra Con. Bulta has condemned one young man to the galleys for twenty years, because he attempted lo prevent another from lighting a cigar. Letters have been received from a responsible source at Havana, which were brought ty tbe Georgia, to a gentleman entirely disconnected with ho Cuban movement, which pronounce all the tatemeots put rorth by ihe government as fnlse.

Tribune. ing to full the of or of in The ProRTessinff Expansion. Hunt's Mercliant's Magazine or August is an excellent number.

In its leading articles are discussed smiio of the most absorbing commercial questions of the day. Oue of the most important, which now occupies the thoughts of the clear sighted mid shrewd of our merchants and public men, relates to the present commercial expansion. They have their fear. their apprehensions for the future. Their minds are anxious to discern whither this great prosperity, this unexampled tide of business, all tends.

This interesting question forms tin; leading article of Hit present number of Hunt's Merchant's Magazine. And, truly, there isnomhject more suitable to be discussed iu these pages, and no place wheieitny one can expect to find a more satisfactory answer. The litle of the article is "The Progressive Ex l. .1... pansiou.

Alter snowing uy me and Commercial iufcititutiniix, that "a vast and rapid expansion is going on," the writer proceeds consider our securities now, as compared with former periods of revulsion. The prose movement has a real increase of gold fur its basis the United Sta es Treasury system affords new source of strength; and the iineslments recently made in Railways and Steamship enormous as they have been, have begun at once to produce interest on the outlay, aud they possess an iolrinsic value equal to their cost. Nevertheless, value of railways as a productive investment capital, is as nothing compared with their indirect creation of wealth. The question whether land is worth lt nothing, per acre, is simply a question of trans portation. A railway traversing the level regions the west, costs say, $14,000 per mile of a breadth of ten miles on either side was worth $5 a.id rises to $20 per acre, as il probably will in a few years, the value thus created is equal to fidesn tiflll'H the cost of the road.

Another souice of strength consists iu tho healthful influence of the new modes of communication on land and water, quickening tho activity of commerce, in the rapid conveyance of intelligence, in preventing the accumulation of slocks, the more even course of production and distribution and in the progress with which our paper currency passes round the ciicle of circulation. Such are some ol the sources of our present strength mentioned iu this article. But with all this accumulator) of resources and securilis is the country safe We believe not says the writer. We must re lei our readers to the article itself. Our object has been to present an outline of it merely as one of the beat papers we have seen on this all engrossing commercial question.

It is, in fact, the only commercial periodical by which we are known and respected in Europe. The West Point Riot A very unpleasant row took place on the grounds of Mr. Cozzcns, at West Point, on Friday last, occasioned by the land ing of two military companies contrary to his wishes and urders. The dock and grounds are the private property of Mr.

Cozzcns, and his house being filled with boarders, he was not prepared for the reception of such a company and forbade the Captain to land them. They, however, insisted on going ashore, and did so iu defiance of these orders. The hotel was then closed and the unruly mob refused entrance. Having reached the house they made a furious rush upon it, determined to force an entrance, but the pressure upon the piazza of the hotel caused one of the beams to give way, and ail were participated into the area below. Mr.

Theodore Cozzens, a son of the proprietor of the hotel, who was endeavoring to bi ill the tumult, was severely bruised by the fall, but the elder Mr Cozz' ns was only slightly injured. Some fights occurred among the assailants but no further material injury was done. Mr. it is said, will prosecute the captain of the vessel for the trespass and damage. Attempt at Murder.

About 4 1 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a desperate fellow, named Michael Gavner, residing at 58 Center 8t. New York, attempted to kill his wife by striking her on the head with an axe. He was luckily prevent. ed from executing the murder by a man named Thomas Walters, who interfered while the weapon was dravn by the brute to bury in the brain of his wife. Walters wrenched the axe from Gav nev, who was so exasperated that he caught a large butcher's knife and pursued Wallers into Ihe street, where he was caught by the 6lh Ward Po ice, and committed to prison by Justice Lithrop.

The County Treasurer's AmiU'il Report was read and reler.ed to ihe Com on Treasurer's ac counts An application from the inhabitants of Klul lands, asking for $400, to be raised for road pur. poses and the certificate of charges audited and payable by New Utrecht: both of which were re. ferred to the Com. on Local Taxes.

The Board then formed the lists of Grand Jurors for the city of Brooklyn and liie county towns. The clerk lead the lists, which were separately coufiimud by the Board. Mr. Spinola thin presented the report of the Special Com. on the Lunatic Asylum, recom mendinir a site for the new Asylum in Gowanus, near New Utrecht, as a very eligible situation.

After considerable discussion, on motion of Supervisor Morris, the report was referred back to the same Committee to ascertain and report at what price per aciv the land could he purchased. Mr. Williams moved a resolution to reconsider the reeolulion passed at the previous meeting re I lative to the increase of the salary of Mr. Dawson, Surrogate's Clerk. He stated when Mr.

Dawson entered upon the situation the salary was tixed at 700 per annum, and it was afterwards reduced to $500, and in justice to Dawson, he wished the salary to be raised to $800 to remunerate him fur the loss he hud sustained by the duclion. Mr. Bergen said that Mr. Dawson had received fees as appnii. er, which would probably do imre than cover the deficiency, and he, therelore, had no riuht to be paid for any time lhat was past.

It was finally dec ded to fix the salary at $700. A motion was made and carried that the Board meet at the Penitentiary on Tuesday afternoon lit 2 o'cluck to examine proprsed sites for the new Asylum. The Eagle and Advertistr were then designated to print the laws of the County. The Board then adjourned to meet at the same place on Thursday next, at 3 o'clock, P. M.

MasaoTjusktts Politico The whia journals in Massachusetts are discussing the question whom they shall have for Governor next year. The Bos ton Commonwealth denies that there is any clianco of the election of a whig candidate at all. It offers he following statements and speculatious 'In 1848, ihe whigs made the most desperate efforts to cairy the state, and they polled 61,000 votes. The free soilers polled 38,000, and the democrats 3G.O0O. The whigs in 1848 and in 1849 carried the state, not by their own power, but through the want of concert on the part of their opponents, in 1350 tho free soilers and democrats partially uniled, and the whigs were beaten by more than 7000 majority for Governor, by al least 10,000 majority on their Congressional and Senatorial tickets.

At least 4000 free soilers, democrats, temperance and religious men, voted for Governor Briggs, out of personal regard for the man. No man in the whig lanks could then or uow poll so many votes as Gov. Briggs. These 4000 free soil and democratic voters will this year support the candidates of their parties at any rate, they will hardly vote for Mr. Winthrop or Mr.

VV alley. 'The whigs were able last year to elect only 11 Senators out ol" 40, and they were able to elect only 175 members of the House, against 118 free soilers, aud 108 democrats. Had the coalition of the free soilers and democrats been complete, their majority in the House would have been 71 instead of 46. By a desperate efl'ort, the whigs may be able to get 57,000 votes they cannot, by any possibility, get 60,000. They may be able to elect 11 Senators out of 40, and 175 or 180 members of the House out of 438 this is the best they can hope to do, by the most active exerliotis.

Their ily hope is in the dissensions of tho free and democrats. Last year, many of the ablest and best men of the free soil party opposed the They had doubls of its expediency, and no faith in its success. Now all arc satisfied with its result, convinced of its expediency, and fully drtermincd to keep the state out of the control of Webster and Fugitive Slave bill whigs. The free soilers will surpass their vote of last year by several thousand. Mark the prediction.

The democratic party made no effort last yenr. The most sanguine among them had no faith in success. They now hold tho government of the state, and caD carry their vole up to 42,000 by a slight effort. Perhaps they will. Men out of the ranks of the whig party, can discern not the least reasonable gronnd to expect any sucli event.

The free soil and democratic Jparliee can carry their votes up to 75,000 easier than the whig party can carry its vote up to 60,000. If they do so and act with unity, they can elect 29 ol the 40 senators, and Garry the oy at least 87 ma ioritv. On State questions they agree. On na tional questions they differ widely. State issueB alone come up lor consideration at the coming election.

Perhaps the friends of State Reform, the men who have put upon the Statute jBook more wise laws than any Legislature for the pst ten years, may decide to give the state back to the whigs. The whiga evidently hope and believe that they will. As for us, we shall believe in such folly when wo see it uot before. The Liquor Traffic abandoned in Augusta On Saturday last being tho day on which the the Mayor's sixty day proclamation expired the soveral liquor dealers in this city, great and small, including hotel keepers, apothecaries, and all others who had to any extent previously participated in its sale, voluntarily abandoned the traffic and now on this seventh day August, in the year of crace 1851, not a single glass of intoxicating liquor, of any kind, is sold, or can be obtained for love or money, or for any purpose whatever, in the cily of Augusta So, at all events, we are informed, and verily believe. Augusta, (Me.) age, Thursday.

Rev. Laurence Hickok, D.D., has been appointed Vice President of Union College, Schenectady, and will probably take the place of the Venerable President Nott. It is not true that Dr. Nott has resigned. Though over 80 years old, his health is good aud he will continue, for tho present at least, topreeide over the affairs of tho college.

to so is I I An Hungarian' Robber. Prince Frederick Schwarzenberg, tho son of tho colebrated Field Marshal Schwarzenberg, used often to relate his encounter with the celebrated robber Haburak The Prince once ancompanied a lady from Hungary to Vienna. They journeyed on ihe mountain roads between the counties of Go mor and Torna. Heavy showers had greatly damaged the roads; evening approached; the tiredlioracs had reached the ridge of the woody height, but could not be urged on further; and the travellers were thus compelled lo take shelter for the night in the inn ol Agctelek, a hiding place of ill note for robbers. The carriage halted before the house, and the servant inquired whether room could be afforded.

The publican replied there was oue room for the lady, but that the gentleman could not be accomodated, the large guest room being over filled After some visible reiuctnncc, he owned that tho gang of Haburak was drinking there. The lady became terrified, and entreated the piinco not to remain but it had grown dark, the rain was pouring down, the horses were worn out, and the steep ascent of the road was so dangerous, lhatit was most hazardous proceed. The prince tried to reassure tho lady she locked herself up in the room assigned to her Her companion, wrapped iu his white officer's cloak, under which he kept his pistols iu roadiness, step ped into the apartment where Ihe robbers were as. sembled, and sat down on the table, facing the window, while his servant, likewise armed, kept watch outside the house, close to the window, in case his master might want any aid. Tne company consisted of about ten or twelve men.

Their rifles leaned against the wall; their axes lay upon the boaid, on which stood ihe wine jugs. They drunk, sang, and talked over their adventures, and did not take any noticeol'theirmiwly arrived guest. Theprince mix1 in their conversation, took wine wuh them, and listened to their stories, until it had grown late Suddenly he aruse, called the publican, tlircwagold coin on tho table, and said: is for Ihe wino these good folks have drank they are my guests. But now," he continued, addressing the robbers it time tn sleep. In the adjoining room there is a sici; lady the entertainment has lasted Jong enough cannot allow any one longer to occupy this room, or disturb the lady's rest by noise." Al this imperative command one of the robbers jumped from his scat, and contemptously laughing cried out 'Does the iientleman th'nk that because he has a carriage aud four, and plenty of money in his pocket, he can command An uproar ensued.

The men vociferated; 'Wc arc poor lads and thcrefoic ice aro masters 'We are no timorous peasants, who take off their hats to evorv We have yet money and ciedit enough to swallow a draught when we are 'We do not accept any gifts from persons who imagine themselves het than we are 'Wc will not be All this was almost simultaneously uttered, with a loud tumult from all sides. All the robbers had gut up. The prince mechanically caught hold of his pistols und tnicw on his cloak, '1 am masler ol the craft in which you are but he exclaimed with dignity. 'And fear neither the mouth of a rifle nor the edge ol an axe. During this uproar, a man of middle height aud strongly marked features had risen from the bench beside the stove, where he had quietly sat during tho whole time, without partak ing of the wine.

He now said a commanding tone The robbers grew speechless at this order, and again sat down to the table. 'Mr. Officer continued the think that you frighten us. too nave been a soldier, and have most probably smelt more powder than you evor did. I am Habu rak.

If 1 desired to do yop any harm, a single whistle would be sufficient. We never disturb a lady's rest, we war with men, not with women. For the present we shall leave this shelter; yet remember sir, this is the first time for a fortnight lhat these men have been under a roof, and that the couch below on the damp oak leaves is by no means comfor ablo. Farewell! Friends letus go, 'he called to his men and went. The prince was greatly struck bv the proceeding.

Ho did uot entirely trust the robber's words and relieving his servant, they paced op and down, thus keeping watch the v. nolo night. On the. morrow the lady resumed her journey. After they had ridden about an hour, they suddenly heard the discharge of a rifle close to them in the woods.

Haburak stepped forth from the bushes, and bid the coach man 'halt' The horses stopped tho prince drew forth his pistols. But Haburak. without heeding his threatning meiu, rode close up lo the carriage door and said 'We yesterday sacrificed our comfort that tho rest of ihis lady should not be disturbed. Now I will se. whether it wes worth the He then lifted the veil, which hung down from the bonnet, and looked Tor an instant into her face.

The lady ushed, and the robber said, 'She is really very He turned round, pluck. cd a wildrose from a bush close at hand aud offered it to the lady with these words: 'Accept this rose kindly as a keepsake from the poor robber Haburak; and if you sumetime hear he has been hanged, pray an ave maria for his The lady took the rose and the robber vanished. Two years later the newspapers relnted that tho robber Haburak had been caught; that he had been tried at the assizes in Torna, convicted of desertion and highway robbery, and hanged. Ricbcs tor Children. The late Post Master General of the United States, remarks the Gambier Observer, was once a very poor boy so poor that he could scarcely afford a pair of shoes, without Master would not allow him to come to school Our boy hood was passed in ihe village which were spent his early professional years.

We remember imco being in his company after lie had been elevated to the Supreme Bench in his native Slate, and hearing him make in substance, the following statements "I remember," said he," the first lime I visited Burlington as Judge of the Supreme Court I had left it many years before a poor boy At the time I left, there were two families of special note for their standing and wealth. Each of them had a son about my own age. I was poor the two bovs were very rich. During the long years of hard toil which passed before my return, I had almost forgotten them. They had long ago forgotten me.

Approaching the court house for tho first time, in compauy with several gentlemen of the bench and bar, I noticed in the court house yard a large pile of old furniture about to be sold at vendue The scenes of early boyhood with which 1 was now surrounded, prompted me to ask whose it was. I was told itpelongcd to Mr. A Mr. A 1 I remember a family of that name very wealthy; there was a son too can it be he I was told it was even so. He was the son of one of the families abovo alluded to.

He had inherited more than I had ever earned, and spent it all and now his family was reduced to want, and his very furniture was that day to be sold for debt. I wont into the court room suddenly, yet almost glad that. I was born poor. I was soon absorbed in the business bofore me. One of the first cases called was lhat of B.

vs. a case that had come up on appeal, but which (if we remember rightly) origniatcil in a low drunken ouarrel. 'Mr. thought I that is a familiar name. Can it In short, I found that this was indeed the son in our wealthy family referred lo I was overwhelmed alike with astonishment and thanksgiving astonishment at the change in our relative standing, that I was not born lo inherit wealth without toil.

"Indeed, all my experience has taught me that those fathers provide beBt for their children who leave them with the highest education, the purest morals, and the leust Colt's Repeatkiis. So great is tho demand for this pistol in the United States, that 300 men and over ono hundered thousand dollars worth of machinery cannot supply the demand. lrly thousand of these anus will bo turned out of the factory in this city during ihe present year of 1851, and still the supply will fall short of the demand. Col. Colt sent a few dozen of these repeaters to the World's Fair.

The English government took all of the sma'l lot to send to London, to fit out a cavalry company against the East India natives, and called for more. Col.
