The returns. The returns published to-day from the State are favorable to the Bell and Everett electoral ticket. In New York, on which the chief interest of the election centres, the result is doubtful. In 18 wards in the city the Union ticket has 25,000 majority; but in the counties the vote shows Republican gains. Pennsylvania has gone Republican by a large majority. The election for member of the Legislature from Prince Edward county, Va., resulted in the choice of Booker, the Bell candidate. The following estimates of the New York papers are interesting in view of the returns published above: The Daily News, upon an estimate of a total of one hundred thousand votes polled in the city, claims a majority of 60,000 for the Union fusion ticket. The Journal of Commerce thinks that 40,000 majority in the city will be sufficient to carry the State against Lincoln.--The Tribune gives the fusion ticket thirty thousand majority in the city, and claims that the combined m

the station-house. Mr. Page, being old and very feeble, never recovered from the injuries he received on that occasion. As near as we can ascertain, he had been connected with the police about forty years. In the war of 1812, he enlisted in Capt. Booker's company, and went with his fellow volunteers to the Canadian frontier. There is not, probably, since his death, a surviving member of that gallant company in Richmond, although Capt. Booker still lives in the county of Powhatan. Mr. Page waCapt. Booker still lives in the county of Powhatan. Mr. Page was an officer of the night watch under Captain Prentiss, but subsequently withdrew from the service for a short period. He was in the day police during the whole time that Capt. Jinkins was at the head of the watch, and of late years, being too feeble for arduous duty, has been retained as an officer at the first station-house, in consideration of his long and faithful services.--Many incidents are related of his courage. On one occasion he went alone and arrested a large and powerful man, and
