The political news by this arrival is not important.
The President, and a portion of his cabinet, have
been engaged during the week, in completing their
tour through a portion of the State of New York,
and have been received with enthusiasm. The
Herald says: " Mr. Fillmore's reception at various
points has been influenced by the tact that he is iden-
tified with the political history of the State, but any
one may perceive that Mr. %1 ebster's populaiity has
equalled, if not surpassed that of the president, if
we may judge by the demonstrations."

aid in the construction of the European and North
American Railway, authorising an issue of State
scrip to the amount of 500,000 dots., bearing interest
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable semi-
annually, and the principal redeemable in 20 years,
for the use and benefit of the said road whenever it
shall be organised, with 1,000,010 stock subscribed
for and 500,000 doll. paid in. The State of Maine
has made a similar grunt of 500,00 dots. in money
scrip, or an equivalent form, satisfactory to the Go-
,
vernor and Council. It was thought there the bill
would pass.
