ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.

The fine steam ship Acadia, Captain Ryrie, reached the
Mersey last night, soon after nine o'clock. She sailed from
Boston ou the first, and from Halifax on the third, and has
made the run in thirteen days, including a detention of
eleven hours at Halifax. She brings thirty-four passengers.
The news by this arrival has been anticipated in a great
measure by the Great 'Western, with intelligence to the 29th
ult., which will be found in another column. Only one day's
later news from New York has conic to hand by the Acadia.
A vessel, called the St. Louis, belonging to Boston, was
found burning to the water's edge, by the Impulse, on her
way from Baltimore to Kingston. The crew and passengers,
twenty-four in number, were taken on board the latter, just
at a moment when their destruction seemed inevitable.
President Tyler was expected at Washington during the
first week of the present month. Changes in the Cabinet, it
was rumoured, were on the eve of taking place. Mr. 'Web-
ster, it is stated, would not return to Washington in an
official capacity. In the treasury department, Mr. Cushing
was expected to succeed Mr. Forward.
The new tariff and the contest between Mr. Tyler and Mr.
Clay, for the next Presidency, are warmly discussed in the
papers.
The parties connected with the late prize fight, which ter-
minated fatally, had been indicted by the grand jury of West-
chester County for manslaughter in the first degree, and
were about being arraigned for trial.
Mr. George Vandenhoff was playing at the Park Theatre
with considerable success.
The British Queen arrived at New York on the 29th.
Colt, who was convicted of the murder of a man named
Adams, in September, 1841, under circumstances of peculiar
atrocity, was sentenced to be hanged in November.
The commercial intelligence by this arrival is merely a
transcript of that brought by the Great Western.

BALLINASLOE Et/R.—Subjoined are extracts of letters
giving some particulars of the result of this, the best fair of
Ireland :—"Ballinastoe, Oct. 9, m
1842.—0ur fair is at length
over, and the fall in prices has been much more than I ex-
pected, from 40s• cop Os. a head; but of this I am perfectly
sure, that the tariff has nothing to do with the reduction.
The fall in prices is mainly attributable to the distemper with
which the cattle is still attacked. Some actually died of it
on the fair green ; and this at once, and very naturally,
caused a still greater panic. In fact, such was the state of
alarm which prevailed, that' on the second
