But con. trarv to all expectation, the mail arrived yesterday evening without the message, or any pf the doings of the Legislature, although it left Indianapolis on Wednesday morning. Sic'.i thing are almost intolerable. But the people have willed that the present corrupt band of post masters shall control the mediim of communication, and it becomes us to ubmit. We subjoin nil the information we trc, which was brought by a gentleman who i;ft there on Monday evening. The two Houses were organised by electing the following officers: IX THE HOUSE. C.D.

Thtjg ire ft up About the first of November list, the Van Dureii Central Committee nt Indimpolis, called a Conventton to be held at the feat of t; vemment sometime during the n:esent winter, for the purpose of selecting candidates for trtvornor aJ Lieut. Governor to be run by the Fdetal Van Curen party. But the result of the lite election in this State has cast a shade over tLeir holies and piospects. They give up the contest in dispair.

This has been, altogether, one of the best and closest contested elections ever hold in this country. The majority of electoral votes is not lar-e,and it is not yet certain that Mr. an Buren has a majority of popular voles at al . In 50me of the States he has succeeuto. oy very lean majorities. He comes into power with a great array of the States t.nd the 1 eople against him probablv a fortunate circumstance for we must all, by this time, be convinced of the truth, that the most popular President may be the most dangerous. If the Opposition, however, have failed in defeating Mr. Van Buren. we bolievp thhave succeeded in preventing the elevation of ui; umcr pany candidate, and that wc can also announce that Richard M. Johnson is not elected Vice President of the United States a result honorable to the virtue, tlie intelligence, and the purity of the people of iti country. .iicxandrta Uazette. The Vice Presidency. Should Mr. Van Uuren be elected to the Presidency, his friend and colleague Col. Johnson seems likely to be beaten for the Vice Presidenrv. The twenty-three electoral votes of Virginia arc pieogeu io judge fcinilh ot Alabama, which must defeat Col. Johnson. The Constitution requires that, in the event of no election by the people, the Senate shall choose from the two highest candidates.

The banks have nobly exerted themselves to lessen the evil in some degree; notwithstanding which, as high as Arrc, and in some instances Jjur percent, per month have been given for money within the last few days. But the confidence of our business men in each other is not diminished; and if there is a prospect of relief in the dis tance, they will be able to w eather the storm w hich the frantic acts of the Administration have brought aboit their heads. Hut Micv cannot afford to pay from 3G to 50 per cent, for money any great length of time; and, unless some change should ere long take place m the money market, a portion of our citizens may find to their sorrow that the intctctls of the poor tnan and the rich man are indissolubly linked together. Boston Jovr. .Vor. 22. Vermont. We give below the official canvass of the voles cast for Electors of President in Vermont. It will be seen that the Harrison majority has increased over 50 per cent since September, when it was but 4,300. The vote of this State in 1S2S was for Adams 24.000, Jackson S,000; in '32, Wirt 13,109, Clay 11,152, Jackson 7,870. Van Burens vote is larger than any ever cast for his party except in the last State Election. We believe each Congressional district, including that which recently elected a Van Buren Member, has given a majority for Harrison. Mr. Everett is elected by 1500.

The Whigs have majorities in both branches of the Legislature. J'czc Yorker. New-Jersey. We have not yet received the official statement of votes cast in the recent election.

laiPCRTA.vT from Clba. We have been favoied by a mercantile friend with the following intelligence from the Island of Cuba:

J-elters recently received frrm St. Jago tuua arc ot no orum.irv interest. Th Governor some lime since, on learning that the constitution of IS12 had been proclaimed in Spain, (and without official information from the mother country, or orders from the Captain General of the Island.) took it upon himself to proclaim the constitution. This course was disi nproved of bv his snneiW. the Captain General al Havana, anrl fluently orders were received Irom that quar ter io anuai wnat lie liad done, and place things as they weic previous to the proclamation of the constitution. This did not meet the views of the Governor of St. Jago, and he immmediately issued his proclamation declaring the Province of Cuba, which is the eastern section of that Island, as Independent of the Captain General and of the rest of tne inland, and prohibited all intercourse with any other part of the Island, stopped the mails, 5cc. This state of things had only continued a few days, when official instructions were received from Spain, not to proclaim the constitution until they should receive instruction from the Home "Government after the meeting of the Cortes and he was ngain ordered by the Captain General to place things on the old system, which has again been disregarded, and the Province or to say the least, its Governments, now stand in open rebellion both against the Home Government and that of the Island. What w ill be the result, it is quit inpossible to predict. Ua. Patriot. Read Herald, this Whigs.
