LATEST NC WS.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

We learn from the agent of the New York As-
sociated Press, at Liverpool, that Mr. Buchanan
has been elected President of the United States.—

Times,

We(Times) have received th© following confirma-

tion of the election of Mr. Buchanan to the Pre-
sidency of the United States from our own corres-

pondent :

BOSTON, Nov. 5.

Buchanan is returned.
He has obtained 174 votes in the Electora

College.

Fremont, 114.

Fillmore, 8.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 6.

The Porte is preparing to fortify Giurgevo.
A camp of 25,000 men will afterwards be esta

blished in the environs.

The Correspondence Prussienne of the 16th inst.
publishes an Article directed against the Swiss
press, in which it gives ground for believing that
Prussia will exercise her direct authority over the
Canton of Neuchatel, and that the Government
of Berlin will exact a recognition of its sove-
reignty.

A letter from Frankfort, in the Debats of Sa

,urday, says it is confidently rumoured that Aus

,ria is about to contract a new loan abroad—the

capital to be large, and the conditions offered to
subscribers to be " most advantageous."

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

Faithful to its traditions the Assemblee Nationale
favours its readers with another violent polemical
article on English rapacity and general misbehavi-
our. The article is headed, "Let us be the ally but
not the tool of England," and, to give more force
and appearance of truth to what follows, commences
with a formal denial of any desire to disparage
British institutions, or of being possessed of any
feeling of jealousy or party spirit. Sentiments of
sincere admiration are professed for our country,
for its greatness, for the genius which for nearly
two centuries has presided over its destinies, for its
power, patriotism, and political intelligence. But
unfortunately we turn all these to the realising of
one fixed idea, and that is nothing short of the
domiiation of the entire globe. The Assembles
asserts that—
" There does not exist an Englishman who is not
firmly convinced that his country is destined to go-
vern the whole world. In the midst of all our
political changes, of all the double-shuflies and wea-
thercock twists of our home policy, let but the
Foreign-office give the word, and every person, from
one end of the British empire to the other is suddenly
found precisely of the same mind with regard to what
should be done abroad. . . . Never in any opera
have the scenes been more suddenly shifted than has
British policy—to-day Liberal, to-morrow Absolutist—
now taking the part of nationalities, and now ready to
oppress them—in turn encouraging and interdicting
religions propagandism—humble towards the strong,
and insolent towards the weak—the ally of all Powers
and all rebellions, according to the interest of the
year, the day, and of the hour even. Still, whether
just or unjust, right or wrong, the acts of the Government
as respects foreign nations find a united phalanx to sup-
port them. One might imagine that England had bor-
rowed from the two great rivals of antiquity their dis-
tinctive characteristics. Carthage has bequeathed her
Punic faith, and the oracle written by Virgil on the
cradle of the people's King has been taken for her
motto :

" ' 'fa regero imperio populos Romano memento.

" It is this desire, thiß thirst of dominion and univer-
-9.1 Preponderance which are the causes of the feeling of
union which exists between tale pilvpla tho
mint of England; and, a though there is much in Ea;-
history which merits eternal condemnation, we can-
not help admiring this harmony which is thus able to
resist all the chances and changes of political life. In-
deed we not oily admire it—we would wish to inoculate
Fra❑ce with it."

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 1.

The royal mail steamship Arabia, Stone, com-
mander, arrived here at midnight from Boston and
Halifax, with dates from New York to the 4th inst.,
64 pazsengers, and $758,936 in specie on freight.
The Royal 111411 steamship Asia, hence, and the
mail steamship Edinburgh, from Glasgow, arrived
at Now York on the 31st ult.; and ,he screw steam-
ship Vigo, from Havre, on the 3d inst.
The result of the Presidential election had not
been officially declared. The returns from the in-
terior of New York State showed large Republican
gains in almost all the counties, but it was ques-
tioned whether they were sufficient to overcome
the Democratic majority. The Tribune estimates
the Fremont majority at 25,000, and that of King
(Republican) for Governor at 15,000. Fcr Con-
gress the city is said to have gone Democratic.
From Pennsylvania the returns favour Buchanan,
as do those of New Jersey, which has gone strongly
in his favour. ISewall, Republican, had been
elected Governor. Tirginia had given a Demo-
cratic gain over last year of 157. The returns from
Delaware showed a Democratic majority. From
Connecticut the returns were favourable to Fre-
mont, as were those from New Hampshire. Maine
and Rhode Island had gone strongly in favour of
Fremont. From Vermont the returns wore gene-
rally in favour of Fremont.

pitulation :

MONEY MARKET

COIVE INEL.? AGE24Oa

Two

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
quietly but firmly, and all descriptions were un-
changed from the full current rates of Friday. The
sales consisted of 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
taken for export. The Railway Share Market
closed with a steady aspect, at a slight improve-
ment.

The Paris weekly commercial report states that,
notwithstanding the restrictions in discounting
commercial paper, it is with satisfaction they re-
mark a decided return to activity in some of the
regular branches of trade. The retail dealers of
novelties are busy, and the manufacturers of fancy
goods are beginning to experience a return of pur-
chasers to their warehouses. Other branches of
trede.are rather dull. Some foreign orders have
been received by the manufacturers of Lyons, but
the failure of a large house at New York has de-
pressed the silk trade a little and is expected
to be followed by others. The woollen and cotton
manufacturers are active, but their operations are
restricted in consequence of the continued high
prices of the raw materials. In the spirit markets
the tendency to rise has been checked, and some
good qualities have been offered at lower prices
without finding purchasers. The progress of the
wool sales at London has given firmness to the
French markets generally, which has been further
maintained by the accounts from Germany. Alto-
gether the present position of trade in France is
much more satisfactory than was expected, after
the perturbations in the money markets. The last
return of the Bank of France, also, has contributed
to sustain the buoyancy of commerce, and any fears
of further stringency at the close of the year are
not entertained.

According to the advices from New York, per
steamer Arabia, the Money Market in that city, at
the latest date, was becoming tighter, the demand
for discount, the rates for which had advanced,
having increased. The last Banks' return exhibited
further contraction on the part of the managers,
the aggregate amount of the loans and discounts,
compared with the previous statement, being
smaller by about 202,8781. The specie, oas ing to
the large receipts from California, showed a slight
augmentation, although the shipments were con-
siderable. Trade continued brisk, and the balance
of trade was against this country. In the week
ending the 30th ult., the exports exceeded the
imports by about 189,7531., the former being
valued at $3,414,566.

On the 14th inst. Mr. M. Slaughter, the secre-
tary of the railway department of the Stock Ex-
change, addressed a letter to the Great Northern
Railway Company, stating that parties were apply-
ing about their stock, aid suggesting to Mr.
Mowatt, the secretary of that company, the pro-
priety of giving information on the subject. The
following is Mr. Mowatt's reply, which has been
posted on the Stock Exchange this morning :
" Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 14th inst., for which I am obliged.
"The current work of the registration department has
unavoidably been interrupted by the painful discoveries
which have been made within the last few days, but
every exertion vvill be made to extinguish the arrears of
work in hand, and I hope that all transfers and stock
certificates now in the office will be sent out on Monday,
but certainly on Tuesday.
"For the satisifaction of individual proprietors I shall
be happy to answer any inquiry, if the parties will favour
me with a letter, stating briefly the particulars and
amount of the Stock in respect of which they seek infor-
mation.—l am, Sir, its..
Oltigned) "J. B. MOWATT.
"Mihill Slaughter, Ebq., Secretary of the
Railway Department, Stock Exchange.
" Nov. 15, 1856."
The Funds have been firmer, but the market is
exceedingly quiet. A few dealings have been re-
corded for money, but the time operations are con-
tracted. The intelligence from Paris relative to
the Money-market is more favourable, and the
tendency► of the quotations is rather upwards.
Consols for transfer have been 922 t and 92i 93,
and for account 93 to 93i. The New 3 per
Cents. have been 912 to 92, and the Reduced
911 I. Bank Stock is 215, and India Stock ns.
Exchequer Bills are is. dis. to 2a. prem., and the
Bonds 982

The Foreign Stock Market continues remark-
ably quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents, have improved
per cent. to 90-1 for the account, and the 4 per
Cents. Guaranteed are firm at 100. Transactions
in Sardinian 5 per Cents. have been closed at 90
for money. Mexican Bonds are steady at 21k, and
Dutch 4 per Cent. Certificates at 96.
The Railway Share Market is without much
variation, but some of the quotations are a shade
lower. There are very few transactions, and the
market presents a dull appearance. Foreign and
Colonial shares are dull.
Mines, Banking, and miscellaneous shares are
without any change of importance.
