The Oregon or Columbia River districts produces a
greater variety of Furs than any other ill America. Sid-
ney Hall, Esq., when treating of zoology, in his able
introduction to Black's General Atlas, says of this dis-
trict--" Its most distinguished characteristic is the number
of its Rodentia, amounting to no less than 53 well ascer-
tained species." The skins all of which are of excellent
quality.
As this House has only been recently opened, it must
be obvious to the public that their made-up Furs are all

THE UNITED STATES.

The British and North American royal mail-steam-ship
Acadia, Captain Harrison, arrived in the river shortly
after six o'clock on Thursday morning. She left Boston
on the usual day, the Ist inst., spoke the Hibernia in the
Bay of Fundy on the 2d; and from some cause sailed
from Ilalitax Avithout the mails on the 3d. The run from
Boston, including the detention at Halifax, occupied
about twelve days and a half. •

The Great Western, which sailed hence on the 12th
ult., arrived out at New York on the 26th, ,making the
run in 14 days 131 hours. She would leave.again on the
oth inst., artil rill be due here about the 23d. The pas-
sengers, on the trip out, on reaching port, presented Cap-
tain Mathews with a handsome. complimentary letter, ex-
pressing satisfaction with the voyage, and withithe excel-
lent accommodation of the ship.
Our advices by this arrival are—New York,.3lst ult..;
Washington,,2tth ; Montreal, 28th ; Toronto,.2sth ; and
Boston and Halifax, Ist and 3d instant. There are no
remarkable points in the intelligence.
The Netelar.k Herald. which has maintained that the
results of thee elections out of New York will be eqnally
balanced •between the contending parties, and that New
York will give tthe casting vote, says, " we are gradually
forming the deliberate opinion that the whig party is on
the eve of utter and final dissolution ; and, strangeenough,
that at the same time the election of Mr. Clay is far more
probable than it has been presented to our mental 'vision
for many months past." It argues, to support tlis con-
clusion, that the whig party in that quarter have given
way to, and became incorporated with the " native Ame-
ricans," whaseinfluence will be given in favourof 'Clay.
If this'be true, and if the weight of the New York voters
influencing the:whole be also true, this is a matter of con-
siderable importance. But we have our doubts on this
head. The final result, will, however, very soon arrive.
A communication from Quebec of the 23d of October
:says—

We learn from Ceptain Powell, of the schooner Refief, arrived
'this morning from,Pliebucto, that the ship Catherine, from .Que-
hec to Liverpool, was,driven ashore at Portneuf, on Tuesday night,
the 15th inst. It appears from the account which Captain Pagut
trot from the survivors, that shortly after the ship struck, the cap-
tain called the.men aft, and almost immediately after she was struck
by a heavy sea, whiclucarried away the poop and all the upper part
ad the stem, taking with it the captain, mate, nine of the crew, and
a,passenger of the. natty: of Hughes and his son, all of whom wore
drowned. The remainder of the crew, nine in number, were at
Torment."

A fine ship named the Mary Kingsland, and loaded at
New Orleans .for ,Liverpool, had been almost totally de-
stroyed by fire,.togetber with 1,700 bales of cotton, about
700 of which are said to be insured on open policies in
this town.

The ship Atlantic,lence for New Orleans, is reported
to hEwe gone on shore on Carysford-reef, though it was
expected that she would be got off.
The New Fork Amei ican, in its article for the steamer,
say s

We are on the very threshold of the Presidential election, which
will be determined next week, although the result will not at once
be ascertained; and in the presence, as it were, of that great event,
there is.a pause in alrnostall.ordinary occupations.
" The accounts by the Great Western have rather stiffened the
market here for cotton.

" The spirit of speculation iu stocks is still active, and the abun-
dance of money encourages it.
" In Ohio .the fact that both louses of the legislature are now
Whig, raised the value of the stock of that State, from the confident
belief that a free banking law,. sjniiilar to that of this State, will be
passed, and then some 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 of the 18,000,000 of
the stock of the State will be absorbed as the basis for the circula-
tion of such new banks. _

" In Pennsylvania, the county.trc.asurers do not make their re-
turns till December; but it seems highly probable, from what is
known of the success of the collectiens under the tax law, that
sufficient means will be forthcoming to meet the interest that will
fall due on the Ist of February.
" We annex the usual list of quotaticias:—

" United States 6 per Cents., 1862,

Exchanges, owing to the scarcity of good bills, had all
advanced, and the quotation on London is 110 to 1101.
T. J. 'tewart's cotton circular says—
" Of the new crop the receipts at this port,have been small, and
buyers as yet prefer making their selections from the old crop,
which seems to have the advantage in strength staple. The
season has been favourable for picking, and without an early frost,
or excessive rains, it is probable that the yield will exceed that of
any former one. Freights for Liverpool are firm at quotations.
For Havre they are unusually dull."
Advieea from Canada state, that the elections were pro-
gressing in good feeling, although there had been some
outbreaks in Canada East. The Montreal Herald of the
28th gives a list of members returned. The relative pro-
portions, 17 to 23, being a majority in favour of the Com-
servatives of 6, with 2 doubtful.
The Rev. Egerton Ryerton, D.D., had received the ap-
pointment to the superintendency of the Board of Edu-
cation for Canada West. He came to Liverpool in the
Acadia.
There are rumours of further serious disturbances on
the Beauharnois Canal.

Four men have lately been Lynched in Fannin county
by the most sanguinary process. Their names were An-
drew Jones, Harvey White, L. Wray, and Mitchell, all
lately from Missouri, and all notorious for their rascality
before they left. The cause was for barbarously murder-
ing and robbing three friendly Indians. Upwards of 200
persons attended the trial and execution. Three others,
named Benjamin Jones, Jewland, and Harris, were ar-
rested, and convicted of theft, and were made to hang
the others, and ordered to leave this country in ten days.
