The Sentinel claims Mr. Sutherland's election
«• as a Jackson victory.” What was Col Da
vis’s defeat?— V. S. Gazette.
We donut regard the success of Dr. Suther
land as a deduction from the Anti Jackson vic
tory. The special Jackson party ran a candi
date against him; he was opposed by a portion
of the Anti-Jackson votes, chiefly because he
was not aa avowed antagonist nt tint Jackson
party. It was natural, and perhaps proper, that
this . tterapt should be made, in order to give
complete unity and integrity to the Anti Jack
sou cause. But he must be much more offended
by the Jackson scheme to put him down in his
district;—It was one of sheer personal and par
tisan origin and tendency. As a member of
Congress, D:. Sutherland ha* uniformly acted
well—he has spoken and voted against the favo
rite project* and dearest wishes of President
Jackson—ho has sustained those of Pennsylva
t\ia—he has undergone a satisfactory probation,

Chester County.—Chester county has played
her part nobly. In Westchester, Ritner’s ma
jority is 396 votes—in Old Red Lion township
bis majority is 76—in Manhattan 121— in Down*

stage of yesterday, that Rimer's majority in all
the townships heard from, is upwards of 2,000
votes —Phil Inq.
The Rimer majority in Chester county will
prove to be about 20*»0. Those who know the
politics of that county, will understand us when
we say that the anti-Jackson vote there will be
5000.—U. S Gaz.

1832 — It is with much pleasure that l am ena

It is expected Mr. Wolf’s majority will not
exceed 200 in this county.
The other voting districts in this county are
Haiborough, Douglas McNully, L. Merion,Wor
cester, Knb’s In this county the Jackson men
claimed a majority of 1000.

Easton Borough, 425 117
Williams township, 154 73
That part of Bethlehem which
vutes at Easton, 42 41

The Wolf men now confidently calculate on
2000 majority. Capt. Wagner is undoubtedly '
elected t«* Congress; he beats *Ihrie in the bo- 1
rough 114, and about 250 or may be 270 in the
district.

to 2500 for him, and our friends, who were well
acquainted with the county, allowed him 1500
to 18'K).
Bucks County.—We understand that Govern
or Wolf’s majority in Buck’s county is, as far
as heard from, 250. The six townships from
which returns are yet to be received, will proba
bly increase that majority to 400 or 450. lhe
vote is very close between Ramsey, (J.) and
Morris, (C.l We hear nothing of the anti Ma
sonic candidate, Ro9S. . .
Dauphin County will give Ritner 350 majori
ty. The borough of Harrisburg gave 50 majori
tv for Ritner. The majority lor Clark, anti
Jackson candidate lor Congress in Dauphin and
Lebanon, will be about 1000.
Lancaster County, we hear, gives Ritner about
1900 majority.
Berks County, in six districts, Ritnei’s majo
rity 230.
In Paoli, Ritner had 307, Wolf 128.
Lebanon, as far as heard from, Ritner’s majo
rity is 850.
Since the receipt of the letter from Lancaster,
which we have placed in another column, we
have, through the politeness of the editor of the
Sun, received returns from sixteen townships in
the county, which give Ritner a majority of one
thousand one hundred and forty-four votes. In
1828, Ritner* majority in these townships was
but five hundred Ihd twenty eight votes. The
townships to be heard from, in 1829, gave Ritner
a majority of nine hundred and eightv-four votes.

From the Globe of yesterday.
Pennsylvania Election,—We give the re
turns, as far as received, from Philadelphia thro*
the opposition press. The vote in the city shews
a decrease of strength in the Bank party since
the contest for Inspectors, taking the Govern
or’s poll as the criterion. The vote in Suther
land’s District is not received, which, we ima
gine, will show a further diminution. The de
feat of Wolf, if he is defeated, will be ascriba
ble to the loss of the Clay vote in Philadelphia
and Pittsburg. At the former election, he re
ceived almost all the suffrages of the Clay party
in Philadelphia, as well as those of the Jackson
Democrats. miner nao omy nve or sx nunareu
out of 10 or 12 thousand ballots. The Hank
has overwhelmed him with its city power, in the
hope that his overthrow will contribute some
thing to weaken the force of the President in ,
Pennsylvania and other 8tates. It will be re-'
membered that Wolf's vote is but a partial test
of the Jackson strength, as displayed in both the
Presidential campaigns. When .Wolf obtained
a majonty of 26,000. Jackson obtained a majo
rity of more than 50,000. Y*t Jackson’s poll
was about five thousand less than Wolf’s in
the city of Philadelphia. The result, at present,
is the consequence of the raging of the Bank
pestilenre in the city, which will not affect mate
itally the interior of the State.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By the ship Huntsville, Captain Stoddard, at
New York, London papers have been received
to the evening of September 7th, aod Liverpool*
papers to the 8th inclusive. Their political con
tents are unimportant
The news from Portugal is not so late as has
been received here direct from Oporto. Ar
rangements were proposed by D<*n Pedro’s agents
in England, to provide funds for fitting out rein
forcements, independent of the loan, rhe scrip
holders were-advised by some of the papers to
make small advances, beyond the requisitions of
the agreement, and thus ensure the success of
the expedition. It was calculated that less than
£100,000 would suffice for the purpose. The
Marqjis of Palm<*lla was still in London on the
7th. It is stated in letters from Madrid that the
King of Spain would like to see the controversy
between the two brothers settled at once; and no
doubt he would; as the infection of constitution
alism cannot be kept out of his Kingdom. It is
improbable, however, that he will interfere in
any manner which can give Great Britain a pre
text for acting openly in Don Pedro’s behalf.
It is still said that the Belgian affairs are on
the eve of a settlement, with no evidence that
Holland will assent to the arrangement. It is
stated in accounts from Frankfort, that Austria
and Prussia have demanded forty millions of flo
rins from the Germanic Diet, to defray the ex
penses of their armaments to put down the revo
lutionary spirit. Insurrections had again broken
out in La Vendee. No doubt the French Go
vernment is duly advised of all the Carlist move
ments. The fact of their being so generally
known, shows that much danger is not appre
hended fro n them Charles X. had taken his
passports from the British Government, intend
ing to depart with his family for the Austrian do
minions. Paskewitsch’s order, issued in conse
quence of the imperial Ukase, incorporating the
officers, subalterns and privates of the ancient
Polish army into that of Russia, had completed
the misery*of the unhappy Poles. None seem

and was to be completed by the 1st of August,
according to the terms of the order.
The publication of the voluminous report of
the Bank Committee, with the evidence taken
before them—that of Rothschild in particular—
attracted public attention in London on the 7th.
Tlie official cholera report of September 7th

ManorESTF.n, Sept. 3.
Cholera Riot.—Last evening, between the
hours of fi.e and six o’clock, this town was
thrown into a state ol great alarm, in conse
quence of a most serious disturbance breaking
out at New Cross and St. George’s Road, the
neighborhood of the cholera hospital. The streets
were thronged bv several thousands of people,
principally of the lower class; a party of whom
carried a coffin, containing the body of a little
boy, apparently about the age of four years: the
head had been severed fnmi the trunk, and eve
ry now and then the mob stopped, and exhibited
the headless trunk, and tho party who carried it
addressed the multitude assembled, stating that
the boy had been murdered by the doctors in the
cholera hospital, they, the party, having exhumed
the body, and found it without a head, the child
being spen nearly well in the hospital the previ
ous evening In this way the mob passed thro’
the principal streets in the town, augmenting at
every step, until a fearful assemblage had con
gregated. The cries of execration against the
doctors were very general, and an almost unani
mous shout— “ To the hospital, pull it to the
ground,'1 &.c. took place. In Oldham-street,
Mr. Robert Thorpe, a surgeon, who was passing
in his gig, was compelled to alight and inspect
the body, and having assured the mob that an in
quiry would no d"Ubt take place, he was suffer
ed to depart without further molestation than the
yellings ui the mob.
The enraged populace now made the best of
their way to the cholera hospital, in Swan-street,
and immediately upon their arrival, they com
menced breaking the windows and pulling down
the walls that enclosed the yard of the building.
They then succeeded in forcing the gates of the
hospital, and having obtained an entrance, carri
ed away a number of patients then lying under
the influence of the disease, and having inquired
their various places of abode.conveyed them home.
A number who were able to walk, went away of ,
their own accord, many through fear of the po-1
lice. Some were taken in a state of collapse
whilst ther were being removed, and died short- !
ly afterwards. The infuriated mob then com
menced a scene of wasteful havoc, destroying the j
beds, tables, aud every description of moveable
furniture they could lay their hand# upon. They
seized one of the new spring vehicles, lately j
built for the conveyance of patients, which they
dragged into the street, broke to pieces, and af-(
terwards consumed the fragments by fire.
Mr. Stephen Lavender, the active deputy con-1
stable, with a posse of police officers and special
constables, arrived upon the spot, armed with
cutlasses, just in time to save the other vehicle,
t>oth of which had cost the Board of Health a
considerable sum of money. The mob became
m> furious, attacking the police officers near the
lospital, and committing such futther outrages,
that it was.deemed necessary to despatch a
nessengertoHutme Barracks for the military;
our troops of the hussars, under the command of
Lord Rrudnell, arrived with a magistrate of the
liviaion. With this reinforcement the police
were enabled to apprehend some of the ringlead- !
trs, together with the relative# of the deceased <
my, who had exhibited the body through the
itreets. The prisoners, nine in number, and •
chiefly Irishmen, were escorted by the dragoons !
o the New Baily. The magistrate then inform- i
xi the multitude that if thejqidid not immediate
j disperse, it would behis (lutj to read the riot
ict, and they must take the consequences. This
varnine, together with the praiseworthy exer
ions of a Catholic priest, who addressed the
nob opposite to the hospital, had the desired ef
set,’ and the assembly gradually dispersed. The
Military and the police paraded the streets in
he neighborhood of the disturbsnee until a late
our, bat no farther violence was offered.
The Shaxxon of I£cll.-—The distressing
shipwreck of this vessel at Davis’ Straits has
been already mentioued. The following is an ex
tract of a letter from Mr. Campbell, surgeon on
board. After an account of the shipwreck on
the 26th April, to consequence of running upon
an iceberg, he proceeds-:—“ VV e got to the fore
castle, where the sea did not wash so much over
as, and made ourselves fast with ropes. When
we counted our men, we were 16 men and 3
bovs short. \V e were seven days upon the wreck,
without anv thing to eat but raw beef and flour,
and salt water to drink. It wa3 proposed, the
night before we were picked up, that I should
bleed those surviving, that they might drink their
own blood- The captain and IT more were bled;
some drank their blood as it was drawn; other#
with a little flour mixed in it. A young man
from Shetland, at the moment he had determined
to throw himself overboard, called out that there
were two vessels coming towards the ship. This
produced such a sudden transport of joy as ren
dered us almost speechless tor a time, and all
that we could do was to press each other by the
hand, and return thanks to the Almighty lor the
near prospect of our deliverance.” The two
vessels proved to be Danish brigs, by which the
survivors were taken off, several of whom, how
ever, died in the course of a few days, from the
effects of their previous sufferings The total
loss of lives wa? 28, besides many of the surviv
ors being maimed in consequence of freezing,
and rendered invalids fur life.
Death of the Rf.v. Da. Adam Clarke.—
From the ('hristian Advocate —Tl»is melancholy
and unexpected event occurred at a quarter past
eleven o’clock nn Sunday nignt, and was occa
sioned by the mysterious disease of which so many
of all classes have already fallen a sacrifice.—
The venerable Doctor was expected to pieach at
Bayswater on Sunday morning, and, as usual, a
large congregation assembled to hear him; but
while they were lost in conjectures as to the
cause of their disappointment, itelltgence arriv
ed that he had been sodde d v taken ill, and was
not expected to surviv* the attack Mr. Wal*
mesly preached in his stead, and alluded to the
melancholy circumstance in an affecting manner.
The gentleman to whom we are indebted for our
.\« . -rk_.... . ...
Strand, who had been long favoured with the
Doctor’s friendship, had gone to Bavswater ex
pecting to hear him. ami, on learning that he
was seized with cholera, immediately went to
Hobb’s house in Buyswater, where Dr. Clarke
was staying, and remained with him till nearly
noon, when he started in a chaise to Heydon
hall, the Doctor’s own residence, for Mrs.
Clarke, who returned with him about half past
five, and found tier husband breathing with great
difficulty. It appears that the Doctor had been
relaxed as to his bowels for a week past, and
that he was attacked with alarming symptoms
about six o’clook on Sunday morning, when be
desired Mrs Hobb’s servant to call her master,
who immediately obeyed the summons. In a
short time Mr. Greenly (the son of a Methodist
minister.) Mr. Clarke, (the Dolor’s nephew,)
and Dr. Wilson, a physician, were in attend
ance. On returning to bed, he told Mr. Hohbs
that *• he thought he should die.” on which that
gentleman recommended him to put his trust in
his Saviour; the Dotor replied, that he had done
so already. All that could be done by the uni
ted skill and exertions of the medical gentlemen
in attendance was effected, without affording any
prospect of recovery. The Doctor said very lit
tle, being greatly exhausted. Indeed, he was
at times insensible, as was evinced by his occa
sional questions and observations, such as,
“ What do the Doctors think of me?” »• Have
they bled?” “Rub my legs” His sons, Theo
dore and John. and his daughter, together with
his afflicted wife, were present at his death.—
Doctor Clarke’s remains were interred at the Ci
ty road Chapel, on Tuesday, at 12 o’clock.
