TATES

On Wednesday morning, at three o'clock, the Columbia
steam, ship, Captain Judkins, arrived here from Boston and
Halifax, having sailed from the former port on the afternoon
of the Ist instant, and the latter on the 3d, so that She has
made the passage from Boston to this port in twelve days
and a half. She has brought 110 passengers. She brings
New York papers to the 30th ult., but their contents are
unimportant. The House of Representatives resumed on
the 2:ith ult., the consideration of the modified resolution.
which had been previously offered by Mr. Floyd, of New
York, respecting the conduct of the General Government, in
reference to the case of M`Leod
" Resolved,—

That the President of the United States be
equested to inform this House, whether any officer of the
army, or the Attorney-General of the United States, has,
since the 4th of March last, been directed to visit the state
of New York for any purpose connected with the imprison-
ment on trial of Alexander M`Leod : and whether, by any
executive measures or correspondence, the British govern-
ment has been given to understand that Mr. M`Leod will be
released or surrendered; and if so, to communicate to this
House copies of the instructions to, and report of, such
officer."

A short debate followed, when the motion that the reso-
lution do lie on the table, was lost by 103 against 51. The
consideration of the resolution will, therefore, be resumed

The remains of General Harrison had been removed from
the Congressional Burial-ground to the banks of the Ohio.
The strongest demonstrations of respect were paid to the
relics in every district through which they passed.

No alteration of consequence took plaCe.iu the New York
money or steel:-market in the interval between the sailing of
the Garrick and the Columbia. In exchange the business
done for the packets had not been extensive. The bills on
London ranged from 1051 to 1081. The shares in the Bank

of the United States were quoted at at New York on the 30th
at 18;:l ; and at Philadelphia, on the 29th, at 19, and at 191
for opening. The agents of the State of Illinois had arranged
for the payment of the interest on their bonds. Negotiations
were in progress for the amount to be paid for the interest
on those of the State of Indiana, and it was believed an ar-
rangement would he completed in time. The State of
Georgia had promptly met its interest, and had even paid off
a part of the principal in specie.
A house largely concerned in the French trade had failed
in Philadelphia.

The cotton-market had become firmer, and extensive sales
had been made.

The news from Canada is unimportant. The address in
reply to the Governor-General was carried by a majority of
5-1 to 51, but on the subsequent division the supporters of the
government were in a minority of 15. It was rumoured that
a union had taken place amongst the parties represented by
Sir Allan ill 'Nab, Mr. Neilson, and Mr. Aylwin. The
Orbit, from Cork, with troops, arrived at Quebec on the 23d

The late elections in Canada are disputed to nearly the
extent of one out of every three; from the number of peti—
tions already presented, the house will be occupied for some
time in determining as to who are elected.
