FOREIGN ef COLONIAL IMELLIGENCE

UNITED STATES

By the arrival of the Elibernia, Capt. Judkins, British
and North American Post-office Steam-p

t, we have

intelligence from the United States fifteen days later than
by previous vessels. The Hibernia sailed from Boston
on the Ist instant, and reached Liverpool shortly after

passengers.
The Great Western sailed from Liverpool oa the out-
ward voyage, the day after the Hibernia. The Hibernia
reached Boston at ten at night of the 17th August ; and
the Great Western made the passage to New York,
against strong adverse gales, by six in the morning of the
21st August.
The New York papers are chiefly occupied in discus-
sions upon the result of the electicns, and the manner in
which they will affect the political complexion of the new

congress, which will meet at Washington on the first week
of December next. The whig party bare carried Tennes-

seven in the representatives o
the election of two United States senators from that s
as they are chosen by the two houses in joint ballot. Elec
tions have taken place in other states of state officers and
representatives to congress, and resulted generally in the
success of the democratic candidates. The accession of
those members will not, however, alter the political cha-

It is very clear, then, that ye

congress will be equally opposed to the President and to

democrats repudiate his alliance, coupled as it would be
with a tacit understanding that he might be brought for-
ward as a candidate for the next Presidency.

Many important appointments have been made by the
President since the adjournment of Congress, by virtue
of his authority to fill vacancies which occur during the
recess of the senate. By virtue of such appointments Mr.
Cushing has gone to China, Mr. Proffit to Rio Janeiro;
and the holders of many less important offices are simi-

larly situated. Their appointments have not been con-
firmed by the senate, and unless they are their acts will
be invalid, even if they are not recalled.
Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Calhoun are candidates for the
Presidency ; and President Tyler is anxious that in his
case the rule which has obtained of late, of allowing the
President to hold the office for twice four years consecu-
tively, should be permitted to prevail.

The reports as to Commercial and Monetary affairs are
In the New York market there is abun-
dance of money without any corresponding demand. Con-
sequently, the exchanges on Europe were looking up, and
as low rates of interest prevailed, it was probable that if
any further advance in the Exchanges took place the sur-
plus bullion would be exported. The stocks of the divi-
dend-paying-States were readily purchased, and for all
other public securities the market was firm and buoyant.
The Wheat crop of the West is described as larger than
ever was known before.

satisfactory

The papers mention that Mr. Horsley Palmer. a late
Governor of the Bank of England, and who lately arrived
in New York from England, is about to take up his resi-
dence in that city.

From Canada we have no news of importance. His
excellency the Governor General, Sir Charles Metcalfe,
has paid a visit to Quebec, and been well received.

The Canadian Parliament is to meet at Kingston, on
the 28th instant.

The question as to what town shall constitute the seat
of Government in Canada still remains undecided. Five
towns in particular contend fur the honour—Quebec,
Montreal, Bytown, Kingston, and Toronto. The Col-
onial Office consider Quebec and Toronto to be situate too
far from the centre of the Province, but with regard to
the other three are anxious to be guided by the wishes of
the majority of the Legislature. The Montreal papers
speak confidently as to that city being selected.
