By the Independent, Captain NYE, arrived at
Liverpool, in twenty-one days from New York, we
have received New York Papers to the Bth of Au-
gust. They contain Quebec news of August Ist,
at which time Lord SYDENHAM had returned to
Quebec from Halifax. Commerce appears not to
revive very fast in the United States, and the
United States Bank Shares continued gradually to
fall. One New York paper recommends that it be
wound up, and another, not denying the propriety
a' the recommendation, mentions a number of other
institutions which ought to be wound up also. The
New York Papers are much occupied with the elec-
tions in different States, but they leave us without
the means of conjecturing what will be the result.
They contain news from Vera Cruz to the 15th
•f July, which mention the detention of between
fifty and sixty American and British seamen,
who were found about the coast of California, and
had been conveyed as prisoners to Tippie, (pro-
bably Tepie or Tepeaka.) The affair was under-
going an investigation under the superintendence of
the American and British Consuls.

Esq., President of the Ohio and Chesapeake Canal,
and William Price, Esq., a distinguished member of
of the bar at Hagerstown Md. Yesterday some friends
of the parties left Baltimore with surgeons, &c., for the
scene of action in Virginia, near the Maryland line, !
