ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY._
By the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship Hi-
J. ernii, Captain Shannon, which has4ust entered the
harbour,' we have received later intelligence from
Mexico, Canada, and the Unitej States;
The Hibernia brings 28 passengers, the weekly
mails from the United States, and from all the British

American provinces. She sailed from Boston on the

9.0:h ult., and from Halifax on the 22d, where she
called and stopped some hours to land and receive the
mails and passengers.

The ship reports brought ovc•r by the Hibernia
inform us that the steam-ship Europa, Captain Lott,
which sailed from Liverpool on the 2d of September,
had arrived at New York on the morning of the
14th, thus making one of the quickest runs west-
ward on record, she being little more than 11i days
from port to port, including the call and detention at
Halifax.

The steam•ship Acadia, Captain Stone, which fol-
lowed the Europa, carrying out the mails of the 9th
of September, had arrived at Halifax, and was on her
way to Boston before the Hibernia sailed from the
former of these ports.

The dates of the papers brought by the Hibernia
are—Boston, Sept. 20; Baltimore, Sept. 18 ; Char-
leston, Sept. 15 ; Mobile, Sept. 13 ; New York,
Sept. 19 ; New Orleans, Sept. 13 ; Montreal, Sept.
15 ; Quebec, Sept. 14 ; and Halifax, Sept. 22.
The political intelligence continues to be dull, in-
sipid, and, in most respects, quite uninteresting to
European readers.

In the United States the only political topic
thought of was the Presidential election. The
struggle will be fierce, although the respective friends
of all the candidates appear sanguine of success. As
the day for taking the sense of the people upon the
question draws near, fresh vigour is brought to the
contest. The run will be between Taylor and
Cass,

The great enthusiasm which manifested itself some
weeks ago at New York, in favour of the Irish rebel-

lion has died away. The intelligence taken out by
the Europa, as well as that by the two preceding
steamers, had quite unhinged these enthusiastic
"meddlers." Lord Clarendon's policy not only
amazed them, but actually brought terror to the
hearts of the would be invaders of Irish soil. The
meetings to spout revolution in a foreign land, and
encourage the subjects of Queen Victoria to throw
off their allegiance on the pretence of misgovernment
has been given up, and either from a conviction that
the cause was hopeless, or a disgust of the leaders of
the Irish rebels, their cause seemed as much despised
as it was heretofore espoused.

The most benevolent exertions were making at New
York and other large cities throughout the Union, to
aid the sufferers by the disastrous conflagration at
Brooklynn. Large sums of money were collecting
for that purpose. _ _

Our Mexican advices by this arrival do not con-
tain any
intelligence of moment. Paredes, the out-
lawed chieftain, appears to be still at large, notwith-
standing the vigorous search which had been made
to capture him. He is, however, quite powerless,
and, as a last resort, is reported to be endeavouring to
seduce the Red Indians to his cause, in the hope of
being again in a position to give.. further battle to
Bustamente, and, if possible, marching on to the city
of Mexico and overthrowing the Government of
Herera.

I❑ some of the New Orleans papers brought by
the Hibernia, we find some extracts from the Mexican
journals, which speak in a very approving manner of
Herera and his Administration. It appears that
having settled the dispute with the United States, he
has turned his attention to the best mode of developing
the resources of the country, and improving the
social condition and character of the Mexican people.
An extensive plan of immigration has been brought
before the Congress, which, if passed into a law, will
lead to good results.

The intelligence from the British American pro-
vinces are of little moment.

At Montreal, rumours of the retirement of Lord
Elgin still prevailed. The alleged cause was 'said to
be the ill health of Lady Elgin. The political oppo-
nents of his Lordship ascribe his resignation to the
unsuccessful results of his administration.

At llalifax there was not any event worth: of

notice.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Business affairs at New York continued in much
the same state as at the sailing of the previous
steamer ; there was, perhaps, a slightlpinereased de-
