Curtin—by about 30,000 majority. They have also elected their enti>« state ticket, and twenty Congressmen certain, and *111 probably have a majority on joint ballot In the Legislature of about fifty. The Demociate have electoi four Congressmen curtain, while another Is con-

tasted.

In ladlana. Lane, the Republican Governor, is elected by, at least. 10 000 ; all the state eSccra, seven Congressmen certain, and a majority in tbe Legislators. The Democrat.: have three Congn ssm- n certain, and one is jet donbllnl, so far as «e have In Ohio, the Republicans have elacled thair state officers by about 20,0u0 qrtjbvity, but have a net loss of two Coa|Dtetman. They have a large majority on joint ballot in tba Legislators. In Florida, where the electieatook place a week earlier, the Democrats have elected thair Govern or aad Congressmen, by about 1300 imparity.

Credentials of delegates were read, and some being absent, it was agreed that those present from any township should cast the entire vote of the delegation from the

On motion, the convent too agreed to make no nomiostion for Sheriff. The convention then went into nomination for member of Assembly, end on the second ballot Dr. Jonathan F. learning resolved firenty, out of twenty-five votes, ranking him the nominee. Buheequer.tly, by a hearty, unainjous vole, the nomination

was declared unanimous.

The only decoration of the Continental in Honor of tba Future King of England, was the American and British flags, and the mingling of tbs star spangled banne; with the cross of 8t- George's and '.he on ion jacks of both nations, intertwined over the main doorway on Cnestnat street. The ran rose 6n Wednesday in a clear sky. TbouMndt of people had flocked to see the Prince by ten o'clock A. M., when be came ont of the hotel, end entered a carriage in weitiag, and drove out to Girard Collegp This xu the lime I saw him, and it may be well to give e minute description of thia distinguished boy. He ie 19 years of age; is about 3 feel end 8 inches height, end weighs Bur one hundred end thirty ponnda. Bis hair ie auburn color and his eyes are deep bloe. His feutares resemble e German. Be is not very manly iu bis looks; but in his actions, be proves himself to be a gealkman. Our (eir 'sex, think be is quite pretty, u a matter of course. If I might be allowed tbo privi lege of expressing my opinion;* I should uy that his equals in beauty, can be ebown, without baviug any serious troubie to search for each, in oar own iovad land of the free. Mere beauty, howavar, will never make him or any oae else a better ruler. After the party wu shown the inner part of Girard College, they went out upon the roof, and while there, (in says a report) the Baron's bearer wu carried from Ins head lo the yard below, by a gentle breeze fif wind. Tbey left Ibis exalted stelien, and after the Prtnee recovered bit bead-dreea, the grounds and baUdings connected with tba College were pointed out to him. He expressed bimealf atucU pleased with his visit, os he also did w.ih others. - The cor tegs oi-vde a tour through the eastern Pen ttentiary, and from thence they Were driven to tb« Fairmouot Water Works, where % abort time wu spent.
