BRIDPORT ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE .SUIV- lfog;

article of the Morning Post of Monday:— -

" At Bridport, from the representation of which
Warburton, the philosophical Whig -Radical, has

manner of illustrating the Liberal doctrine of purl
election, Mr. Cochrane, an excellott and spirited '" for
servative, will walk over the course. This electiot kg of
which an occasion has been r.tforded by the detect i°
profligate and shameless corruption, carried on by °,.P,.111
losophical purifier of the national character, a
advocate of the people's tights, will produce 0.
her Majesty's Ministers of one seat."

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY NIGHT.
- The ColumJa steamer, commanded by Cap-
tain. Judkins, arrived at this port this evening
at dark.
She sailed from Halifax on the night of the 3d,
and has. therefore be bcien just 11 days on-the
voyage.. She brings 55 passengers, who, though
the vessel experienced head winds for a consi-
derable part of the voyage, had expressed their
entire satisfaction with the vessel, as well as with
her worthy commander, Captain Judkins.
Although extending over a period of eleven.
days further than those received by the New
,• 'York yesterday, we do not find much news of
• interest in these papers. Business though dull
. .
was:for the most part steady and not by any
means in a drooping state. Flour had advanced
5.50: to 6.75, being the current rates. The rate
- lotEchange continues steady. Prices of stocks
of the best descriptions was improving.
The PRESIDENT had accepted and signed the
bill authorizing the Bankrupt Law as it passed
the Senate. The other great financial schemes
of the Session remained vet incomplete. A new
" Exchangq Bank Bill" was before the Senate,
and -would probably pass shOrtly, and as probably
Le again vetoed by the PRESIDENT. A change
in
_the Cabinet was confidently looked for.
NO Chance
.
.With e has taken place in the relations
its country; and Mr. WLEori was hardly
Intentioned in the Papers, the result of his trial
being looked to with less importance than we
have noticed. on many previous arrivals.
The accounts from Canada are not important.
The papers are much employed in speculations
nn the future movements of the GOVENOR-
GENERAL. The outward-bound steamer Bri-
tannia, arrived at Halifax on the 31st August,
after a quick passage of eleven days from Liver-
pool,. ill
Our letters from Washington all unite in saying, that
the accidental Executive has declared to the Cabinet, his
i• determination to veto the Bank Bill now before the Se-
- nate. And this after as positive declaration that he would
• sign it! He now perceives that this second act of treachery
to the country, to the Whig party, and to his own character,
*will cause his cabinet to retire en masse, and issue a mani-
:festo to the people setting forth the conduct of the Execu-
-tive in its true light. This he dreads ; and, therefore,
'llla3 besought their influence in inducing the Senate to
Postpone the Bill till the next Session of Congress. But
lie has lost the confidence of all the Whigs ; and they
Perceive in this, only an attempt to get rid of Congress,
and then, after to a certain extent, identifying the Cabi-
net with himself, and thereby preventing the justly
merited and-unanimous denunciations of the Whir party,
:get rid of them also, as Geneaal Jackson OM of Messrs.
'Cass and M'Lean. Of course his proposition to posts
,pone is hooted at, and the crisis is near at hand.
Much as the country may regret the dissolution of the
I present able Cabinet, there can be no doubt but it will
:much prefer seeing them retire with honour to them-
: selves, and with the Whig party presenting nearly an un-.
broken front; to their remaining only to be used by Mr..
Tyler for his own purposes, and then thrust out uncere-
anasiously- with the whole party distracted. We cer-
tai.nly shall deeply regret the necessity for their retir-
ing; but we doubt not they will act as becomes theirown
:reput stions, and as their duty to the country shall ap-
Tear t," dictate.
It is not necessary now to point out the inconsistency,
and, vi e may add, treachery and double dealing, of Mr. Ty-
ler, ev en since his last veto; suffice it to say, that he perso
zally -wrote an amendment to the Bank Bill, and said, if -
ltdoptetl, he would sign it. It was adopted, and he declares
that kw; will nut sign any bill this Session, and that he
Is und, r a pledge not to do so. In short, he has ren-
dered himself perfectly obnoxious to the Whigs in Con-
cress, : tnd a suliject for the Tories to exerciee their wit
upon. If he has any common sense remaining, he will
prompaly resign his place.
We are huppy to add, that the Land-Bill has passed
the Set, ate, will pass the House as amended, and re-
ceive tilt, • signature of the Executive. Mr. Everett has
not yet loom rejected. God grant that he may not- be.
That act mould indeed, place the country in an awkward
predicaMeAit.

THE BANK BILL.
(C Orrespondence of the Courier and Enquirer.)
WAS RINGTVN, AUG. 29.—The position of the two
great political parties here at this juncture is somewhat
singular.. Neither seems to know precisely what to dO,
and =eh is anxiously awaiting the movements of the
other. .A. few days must determine where the one or the.
other stands.

The Bank Bill, .ts you will have gathered from the
,reparts of the pzoceedings in Congress, has not
Ret been reported by the Committee of the Senate.
umour has said very freely for the last two or three
days that it never would b!! reported, and that it was
• the intention of the Whig party of that. body to give
it the go-by. It is_ not to be presumed that this idea has-
4-eined strength ; bat, judging from the best information
`within my reach, I Z,ave not attached any great weight
•ta it. That doubts uld be entertained as to the prac-
tical utility of acting upon a measure whose fate when
submitted to the co-ordinate branch of the Government,
has ceased to be matter 04. speculation, can scarcely be
ftwondered at. But, on the other hand, the Whigs of the
Se.nate owe it to their own i,,•00d faith, to the treachery of
the baler House, not less that.'. their common constituency,
to make this second effort—nugatory and abortive as, in
:advance, they know it must he.
I thel some difficulty, herefore, even in contemplating
'the contingency that the Dill, as has been suggested,
'will be smothered in Cotm nittee. .Al,art from the vio-
lated faith which such a co urse would imply, reasons of
.expediency would seem to condemn it; because it is
-.understood that should the Bill not be reported, the
'opposition will call for the r casons and then go to work
;so make political carital or. a. new ground.
If, as I believe, the Bill should be reported, it does
la . seem probable that it win meet with any very ex-
tended discussion in the S enat.,!.- The Locos believe (if
they do not know) that 'they have secured the President;
that he is fairly within their' clinches, and that nclens
vtleni he must veto the 13ill. No man, basing his
opinions upon the reasonabl. it data before him, seriously
expects any other issue.
NOW, I could every day o f my life freight down the
editorial columns of your pa per with rumours, rumours,
rumours ; and I might, perm iventure, for every one that
--were true give you a thousat id that were false. To be
.0.-t the safe -side, therefore, and not being' very fond of
ten-tea and ta'ole. talk, I put the rumours in my pipe
Gasp smoke them. And i'do 1 his with great impartiality—
Miro: not whether, on the one hand, Rumour comes
to *me in the shape of a tall figure from Kentucky
" with a bold front and sandy locks," or whether,
,on the other, it comes to me in the shape of
" the one-aided ricketty patent " front another sec-
tion of the country, of /e here Mr. Marshall spoke
so eloquently a few days ago. I do not believe that the
rejection of Edward Everett's. nomination (should that
occur) would dissolve the Unit tit' any more than I believe
that the double-dealing game 'of President Tyler will
secure him a second term in • the Executive Chair. But
I do believe that strange things are going on—that
shameless abandonments of 'principle are everywhere
__staring us in the face—and 'that the line is soon to be
*drawn broadly and for eve r between John Tyler and
those who "gave him the h onour that he wears," whose
wiews he has misrepresented, whose hopes he has de-
ceived, and whose confidence he has betrayed. I believe
also that there must be chanres in the Cabinet.
