FOREIGN COLONIAL, INTELLIGENC.E.  ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.  The Boson and Halifax Royal Mail Steam-ship Acadia, arrived in the river on Tuesday, at f past 4, A.m., having left Boston on the 16th and Halifax on the 18th instant, at 3 o'clock pm. She has therefore accomplished the passage from Halifax in ten days and nine and a half hours. The case of Mrs. Gilmour, the Scotch murderess, has been at length brought to a decision, and the marshal of the United States has received a warrant commanding him to surrender her to the British authorities. The elections through the various States for the Congress were proceeding generally in favour of the whig candidates, and in some instances by immense majorities. We have melancholly details of the ravages by the late storm at-Pennsylvania. The destruction of life and property is immense. The loss in Delaware county is estimated at 500,000 dollars.  A riot took place at Philadelphia on the 6th instant, when several men were severely injured. It seems to have arisen between two rival fire cornpanys. Another demand under the treaty has been made of a man charged with having committed a theft in Canada, and absconded to New York. The commissioner decided that he had no jurisdiction in the case, as " theft" was not enumerated in the treaty. Robbery, which is mentioned in the treaty, and ordinary theft, he considered to be distinct classes of crime, the former depriving a person of property by force. _  . . . Strong hopes were entertained that the ship Memphis would be got off, although much boisterous weather had been experienced ; she had made but little water.  The operations at the New York Board of Brokers on the 15th were to a fair extent, and generally at an advance in rates. Domestic Exchanges are in limited request, and rates are steady. The demand for Foreign Bills of Exchange for the packet of the 16th was unusually small. The supply of bills, however, was moderate, which enabled holders to maintain their position. Specie was dull, and the recent exports have been more than counterbalanced by various importations. Money continued abundant for all business purposes, and although the improvement in mercantile affairs generally had caused an increase in the amount of paper offering for discount, no corresponding advance had taken place in,the rates of interest. Loans were readily effected upon undoubted securities at 3/ a 5 per cent. per annum. The transactions at the Stock Exchange for some weeks had been moderate, with but little variation in rates—the demand being about equal to the supply. The improvement in the Cotton Market noticed op Friday still continued. The sales of the 13th and 14th amounted to 2,500 bales, at an advance of; to I cent per lb. upon the prices obtained previous to the arrival of the Acadia. This advance, however, was principally in the middling and lower qualities. Uplands, very ordinary to middling, 51 to 61 cents per lb. ; fair, to good fair and good, 71- to 71 and 8 cents ; Tenessees and Alabamas, 51 to 61 cents; Mobiles, Louisianas, &c. ordinary to middling, 54t0 61 cents.; fair, to enod fair, 71 to 81 cents ; good and fine, 9 to 10 and 11 cents. The receipts of Cotton since the first of September were 2,367,000 bales against 1,663,000 last year. The exports to Europe amount to 1,990,000 bales, of which 1,461,000 were to Great Britain.  The supply of Western Flour was large and the demand moderate.  The Hibernia arrived at Halifax on the 16th.  List of Passengers from Boston to Halifax.—Sarah S. Jacobs ; Mr. Read ; Fred.
