proclamation dissolving the present Parliament— 
The election writs are returnable on the 13th day 
of January next The prospects are good for a 
lively time in politics during the winter. 
In our last issue we gave the intelligence of the 
resignation of the Canadian Ministry. Tbe new 
Board was formed and sworn in on the 27th nit— 
It is made np as follows:—Hon, John A. McDon¬ 
ald, Premier; W. Caylay, Inspector General; Robt. 
Spence, P. M. General; G. W. Carter, Att’y-Gene¬

Arrival of the Vanderbilt and Asia 
The Vanderbilt arrived at New York on the 
morning of the 26th, and the Africa on the 27th 
ult. The Bpecie by these two steamers amounts to 
£600,000. 
France. —The official announcement that the 
exportation of grainand flour to France is allowed, 
was followod in Paris by an advance of 12d on 
flour. 
The Paris Bourse did not respond to the buoy¬ 
ancy of tbe English money market. 
The Emperor of France has written a letter to his 
Ministers of Finance, discussing tho financial 
qneation. He is pained to see that the public 
credit is injured by monetarial fears and by the 
propagation of S'oi de Stout remedies, for an evil 
which exists only la imagination, and begs that 
tbe Minister will deny peremptorily all absurd pro¬ 
jects attributed to tbe government, affirming that 
there is no country in Europe, where public credit 
rests upon a more solid basis. The letter had but 
little effect. The last monthly returns of the 
Bans of France show a loss of 20,000,000 francs 
specie. 
India.—F all details of Indian news Bhowthat 
the relief of Lucknow had been only partially ac¬ 
complished. Havelock'B position there is consid¬ 
ered critical. 
The latest report from Delhi states that the los6 
of the British at that place, in killed and wounded 
was within 1.200, including 64 offioera 
Set udin had brought t,he mutineers of the Gwaltor 
contingent under his control, by arraigning against 
hem fcifa own troops and ten thousand Thakoors, 
and by cutting of their supplies. 
It was reported that Lucknow, whioh was re¬ 
lieved Sept. 25, was again beseiged by Nena 8ahib, 
with 50,000 rebels. 
All the city people found inDelhi werebayonet- 
i cl by the British troops. Many Europeans were 
fonnd in tbe city fighting in the ranks of the rebels. 
Austria.— The Austrian Minister of Finance 
proposes to meet the financial difficulty by tbe is- 
sne of treasury bills to the amount of 100,000,000 
florins. 
The Vienna money market was heavy. The pre¬ 
mium on gold increased. 
Russia.— The decree abolishing serfdom in Rus- 
eir. ta to be published on tbe 17th of Dec. The 
legislative body convoked for the 23th of Nov. 
Australia,— The steamer Emu arrived at Suez 
with Melbourne dates to Sept 19th, and £40,000 
sterling. Gold advices very encouraging. The 
steamers Lady Bird and Champion came in colli¬ 
sion off Cape Otway. The latter fonndered, and 40

From Mexico.— The steamship Tennessee ar¬ 
rived at New Orleans on the 24th nit., from Vera 
Crnz, with datCH to the 21st, and from the City of 
Mexico to the 19ih. The country was in a most 
distracted condition, and another general revolu¬ 
tion was impending. Resolutions were pending 
between the Revolutionists and Gen. Santa Anna 
whom, undoubtedly, they intend for President. Of 
the passengers on the Tennessee, there are twenty- 
three political exiles, and among these are ex- 
Preaident Silas Jose Washington, CoL Romero, 
and William Moran, editor of the Extraordinaire 
who was imprisoned for publications against the 
Governor of Zacatecas. Commonfort'a fall was 
considered certain, and it waa thought doubtful 
whether his life would be spared if he remained 
in the country.

and $220,000 in Bpceie, and a very large nud val¬

Tho financial advices brought by the Fulton, al¬ 
though not so exoiting as those by the Vanderbilt, 
are nevertheless of absorbing Interest, 
The good effects of the suspension of the bank 
oharter were still showing themselves everywhere 
throughout Great Britain. The money market was 
firmer than at last advices, and the demand for 
discounts at tbe Bank of England less pressing.— 
Consols had also advanced, the closing quotations 
on tbe evening of the 17th being 89fai for money, 
and 95 for aoeount 
The Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Bank had 
stopped payment, and great excitement existed at 
Wolverhampton in consequence. Their liabilities 
are estimated at nearly half a million pounds ster¬ 
ling. 
Notwithstanding the improvement in the En¬ 
glish money market, there had been several heavy 
failures in various branches of business in Great 
Brit lu. Several are also reported in France. 
The Bank of France, as waa anticipated at the 
last advices, had announced its determination to 
immediately extend Its Issues.

A project was on foot in California to create a 
new Territory ont of the great basin between the 
Goose Creek Mountains on tbe east, and the Sierra

on the north, and tho Colorado river on the south. 
A card has been published in the San Francisco 
papers stating that trade would be resumed on the 
Nicaragua route, and that on the arrival of the 
mall on the 80th of October, the sailing dav would 
be announced.
