FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

UNITED STATES.
By the Columbia steam-ship, which left Boston on the
afternoon of the Ist, and Halifax on the evening of the 3d
instant, we have received New York papers to the 31st ult.,
and Boston and Halifax journals to the Ist and 3d instant.
The Columbia arrived here on Tuesday night. The intelli-
gence received is important in a commercial point of view.
The President, as was anticipated, had vetoed the Bank Bill.
The Bankrupt Law had, however, passed the senate. The
President's extreme exercise of his power produced an ex-
traordinary sensation. The party who desired the passing
of the bill was furious, and the most unmitigated abuse had
been heaped upon the President for what was considered a
great stretch of his prerogative. A mob surrounded his re-
sidence, and offered every species of insult that the most
vindictive malice could devise. The opponents of the mea-
sure were not less extravagant. The President was lauded
as the Saviour of the country, and the protector of the rights
and interests of the inhabitants. Mr. Tyler, in giving his
reasons for the rejection of the measure, states that, with the
opinions he has invariably held on the subject, having hi-
therto always steadily opposed the bill, he could not sanction
it without a surrender of religious obligation and self-respect.

He conceives that the only legitimate-purposes to which any
fiscal agent of the government can be turned, are the collect-
ing, sale keeping, and disbursement of the public revenue.
For these purposes alone, he believes, has Congress any right
to provide, and to such practices should the fiscal agent be
confined. To a bank of discount he objects, as being unne-
cessary ; and he believes the power of discount possessed by
the United States Bank to have been useless and mischiev.
ous, though its power to deal in exchange was beneficial.
He seems opposed to conferring on a government bank any
decided power to regulate commerce. He would confine it
to what he deems its own specific duty, in the performance
of which it should be made to operate as advantageously as
possible on those interests of the community most intimately
connected with it—the commerce and exchange of the coun-
try. He dislikes the proposition construing the silence of a
state into an assent for the establishment of a branch, and
considers that part of the measure but a subterfuge. He
seems opposed to the system of branches, and points out the
conflicts which the probably disputed power would create
between the states and the federal government. He does
not state whether any particular scheme for a national bank
would meet his approbation, but lie is evidently opposed to
any fiscal agent possessing a greater extent of faculties than
those which would constitute it a sort of national treasurer.
The Land Bill, in a greatly modified form, had passed both
houses. A new Bank Bill had, however, been brought for-
ward ; and though much had been conceded in deference to
the opinions of the President, this second measure retained
so much of the objectionable features of the former bill, that
it was anticipated with the greatest confidence that Mr. Tyler
would veto this on the same principles that induced him to
reject the first bill. Mr. Edward Everitt was nominated as
ambassador to our court, but a warm opposition was raised
against him, and it was expected he would be rejected on
account of his opinions respecting slavery.
At New Brunswick a very destructive fire had taken place
on the 23d ult. About one o'clock in the morning, a large
ship of 900 tons burthen, which was on the stocks in the
building-yard of Messrs. Owens and Duncan, Portland Vil-
lage, was discovered to be on fire. The tide was low, and
no water could be procured. The flames, having once got
head, raged with uncontrollable fury, and immediately com-
municated to the buildings in the vicinity, which were soon
one mass of blazing materials. The fire extended rapidly,
and soon a whole street was in flames. At length two houses
were pulled down, and their further progress was arrested.
Thirty-eight dwelling-houses, a number of small houses,
and a Methodist chapel, were consumed. None of the
houses were insured, and great distress was likely to result
from the disaster.
The yellow fever had made its appearance in New Orleans.
A shocking accident had occurred at Syracuse. A fire
broke out in a store in which there was gunpowder. The
kegs containing the powder exploded, and killed 25 men who
were assisting to extinguish the flames.
From Canada we learn that the municipal bill had passed
the House of Assembly by a majority of 12. Mr. Baldwin
had previously moved, as an amendment, " That it be read
a third time that day six months," but the amendment was
lost by 41 to 31.. The governor-general had sent to the
house a message, recommending for the consideration of the
house divers works of internal improvement. The total cost
of the works enumerated in the message would involve an
expenditure of about £1,470,000 provincial sterling, to be
spread over a period of five years necessary for their com-
pletion. As Canada has no funds in hand wherewith to de-
fray the expense, the governor-general proposes that the
money be borrowed, and the provincial parliament make
provision for the interest, between £BO,OOO and £90,000 per
annum, which his lordship proposes to accomplish in part by
the establishment of a government bank.
Money was still plentiful. The demand continued limited,
and many negotiations on prime securities were effected with
ease. A good business was done in foreign bills for the
packet. The rates had somewhat advanced since the preced-
ing departure. Exchange on London stood at 9 to 91.
Stocks had been depressed, but had rallied slightly on the
30th ultimo. United States Bank Shares were greatly
reduced, having gone down to 10-i in a few days. The
United States loan for one million of dollars has been nego-
tiated at 84 per cent.
The inhabitants of Nova Scotia were about to petition her
Majesty for a union of Nova Scotia with New Brunswick.
The account* from England taken out by the Colombia
had depresssd the cotton, and raised the flour market. Cot-
ton had fallen half a cent per pound, whilst flour had ad-
vanced in price throughout the country.

LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.

The arrivals into this port from the close of Tuesday's
market until to-day are in general only moderate, but there
are several cargoes of foreign Grain fresh up this morning,
particulars of which are not yet ascertained.
Upon foreign Wheat the duty is reduced to ls,. on Barley
to 6s 4d, on Oats to lOs 9d, on Rye to 12s 6d, on Beans to
5s per quarter, on Flour to 7d per barrel ; remaining on
Peas, and all sorts of British colonial produce the same as
last week.—By this operation about 170,000 quarters o
foreign Wheat, and 140,000 barrels of Flour, in Liverpool
alone, are now free from bond and available for consumption ;
releasing at the same time the large stocks of these articles
in London and all the other maritime ,ports of the United

Kingdom.
This heavy surplus coming at once upon the market, in
the face of fine summer weather and a slender attendance of
country buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day. appeared to

preclude any speculative demand, and beyond a few transac-
tions in Wheat for Irish account, with a moderate sale to
our local millers, little business was done : the best descrip-
tions of this Grain, therefore, were somewhat depressed in
value, and all other kinds decidedly 2d to 3d per 70 lbs
cheaper ; the best new white from the neighbouring farmers
not exceeding 9s 3d to 9s :and
_damp, inferior parcels
8s 6d to 9s.

Upon a limited inquiry. for Flour, Statesand Canadian
must be noted Is-per barrel, and English as well as Irish Is.
per sack under Tuesday's rates.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas were in very slow request,
without any material change in prices.
Oats seemed to meet rather more attention, but from the
limited supply fresh in, and hollers remaining firm, no ex-
tensive sales were effected.—Oa;meal, moving off very spa-
ringly, was the turn cheaper.
