ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA•

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—The Caledonia steam"
ship, Captain Lott, which sailed from Boston 0°
the .16th, and from Ha'Wax on the 18th, reached the
Mersey this morning. Her advices from the United
States are seven days later than those which came t°
hand on Monday by the Patrick Henry. Tne Cale'
donia brings upwards of seventy passengers.
The excitement of the Presidential election on'
tinues. It is said that the " native American" party
in New. York and elsewhere, have combined with the
Whigs, which strengthens, of course, the position
Mr. Clay, while, in the same ratio, it weakens that
of his opponent, Mr. Polk. Indeed, it is said, that
the elections so far render Clay's success certain.
Mr. Anson Jones has been elected President 0
Texas for the ensuing year. Mr. Jones is said to be
opposed to annexation, and favourable to a counner
cial alliance between his country and Great Britain'
The news of his success seems to have caused some
disappointment amongst the party in the United
States favourable to the reception of Texas into the
Union. The new President was elected, too, in O
position to general Burleson, a warm friend of an'
nexation.

A foot-race for a thousand dollars, between a natis.e
and a Lancashire runner, who had come over to COn'
test for the prize, had excited considerable stir in the
vicinity of New York.

Ford, who shot a young man at St. Louis for se;
ducing his daughter, had been tried for murder, to
ac quitted.

A Gazette Extraordinary contains the formal eP'
pointment of Mr. Viger to be President of the Exe‘
cutive Council, and of Mr. Sherwood to be Solicitor'
General for Canada East. It seems that under tbae
new arrangements this latter office does not commen
a seat in the Cabinet. The Hon. W. De BleurP,
and the Hon. W. Moffatt, are the Constitution!'
candidates for the city of Montreal. The latest p:i
ticulars of election movements in Lower Canads
decidedly favourable to the Constitutional party.
From Mexico we learn that President Houston bs"
addressed a letter to Santa Anna, in reply to their°
nifesto of Governor 'Poll, which appeared in tlie
Mexican official paper. Santa Anna had become
volved, it is said, in some misunderstanding with t:
Chamber of Representatives, and had asked leave 111
