It succeeds the late Lafayette Free Press; and the No. before us gives evidence of industry and talent. Maj. Semans had charge of the first paper ever

The Wabash Courier is mistaken in stating that "not one Indiana press has yet approved the appointment of Judge Huntington." The Lawrenceburgh Beacon, Rushville Whig, and Salem Commentator, have each spoken of it in strong

the Senate in the consideration of the loan bill the House, in the fortification bill. On Saturday, the Senate, by a vote of 23 to 20,

contracted by themselves during the last administration. It is all in character. In the course of the debate on this bill, Mr, Woodbury made a display of those brilliant financial abilities, which so distinguished his manacement of the Treasury. He said the loan was at this time unnecessary it would not be needed this year "for," says he, "you intend during this, or the next session, to pass a bill levying twenty per cent, on all imports even those articles which are now free of duty and every clear sighted merchant, of course anticipating the action of this bill, will next fall make much heavier importations of those articles free of duty, than have ever yet been imported consequently, swelling the amount of receipts from customs, much beyond the estimate of the Secretary." Mr. Evans quietly rose, and enquired, "if ten millions of imports, free of duty, produced a revenue of nothing, how much would it take to meet a deficit in the Treasury of five millions?" The thing was too ridiculous the galleries titteredthe Senators laughed and Mr. Woodbury hesitatedstammeredand then went ort to explain it away. The House, to-dav, passed the bill making appropriations for repairing our forts and harbors, providing ordnance, and preventing Indian hostilities, by a large majority upwards of two to : one. After the morning hour in the Senate to-day, Mr. Smith of Connecticut, ("the man in the corner," as he was called by Mr. Clay,; and which soubriquet still attaches to him,) delivered himself of his views on the bank bill. For four mortal hours he held forth talking of distribution loans debts -tariff fe cunctis rebus, et quibusdam aliis. He cleared the desks, and gallerieseven the reporters nodded; for listening" to him, except by occasional snatches often minutes or so at a time, is a labor, compared to which all other labors the labor of thieves on a tread mill of horses at a brick-kiln of negroes on a sugar plantation, are an agreeable recreation. Like Benton, and Allen, his speeches, on every subject, are three times as long as any other man's; and one hour of his is as tedious as another man's three. When he finished, Mr. Nicholson propos

ed an amendment to the bill, making the stock of

the branches taxable by the states, in which they are located. A considerable interchange of views ensued, which had not ended at half past three o'clock. The amendment, it was expected, would be defeated. There was a report in circulation for the last two or three days that Mr. Clay, and the friends

of his bill, would consent to some compromise of

the points at issue between them and Mr. Rives; and that, in that event, the bill would pass the Senate by the full Whig vote, and the President would have no scruples in approving it. I do not know what credit can be attached to this report; so many contradictory statements are constantly afloat, one knows not what to believe. M.

THE ELECTION. We intended to have made one more appeal to the Whigs of Marion in this number, to rally

passed the loan bill. It was a strict party vote jonce more in support of their principles, but our the opposition all voting in the negative that is, eyes falling on the following article from the refusing to assist in raising money to pay debts i Lawreneeburgh Beacon, we concluded, although

intended for another county, it would have quite as much effect as any thing we could urge. THE ELECTION. One week from Monday next cur nnntml paction comes on, and it is high time our Wh'xs friends were bestirring themselves, if they expect, still to maintain the high ground which they occupied in .iii?ust last as well as in the following November. We have hitherto said but very little about the approaching election, believing ' that tho people were too busy in their harvesting to talto much interest in the matter; and we. have only room at. present to notice the fact, that our political opponents are up and doing, (lushed by the hopes of an easy "victory, inconsequence of our apparent divisions and supineness. Already the organ of that party in this county, is sounding the note of anticipated triumph to the tune of .300 majority -Shall this prediction be verified We answer NO! and we hope to hear the voice of 1801) freemen speak-' ing through the ballot box in a solemn negative. No, we cannot believe that the independent Whigs of Old Dearborn, who covered thems-elves with glory in 1940, are prepared to submit to such a mortifying result. Can they tamely submit to the degradati m of being marched out of camp, with their arms reversed and their colors trailing in the dut! If not, then let them buckle on their armor and once more come up to the bread) in a solid and unbroken phalanx. Take the entire Whig ticket as. it r, discarding all objections that may be urged agaiwst it. It is no time now for. cavilling.. The ticket, was brought forward by a county convention, in which the interests of all the town-hipi were fairly represented; and it is the duty of every Whig to sustain it in all its parts. Let us do so, and once more secure the triumph of our cause. We have not room to add more at present.

We judge from the tenor of several articles,

from correspondents, published in the last Wabash Courier, that the "Banner county," is in

danger of being carried by the opposition at the

approaching election. Our worthy friend, Ju-dge Moffatt, in the closing part of a reply .to a newspaper attack, of a personal and scurrilous nature,

of one of the opposition candidates, makes a stir

ring and strong appeal to his fellow Whigs. Another correspondent, who signs himself "Old Vigo," also urges upon the Whig3 to bestir themselves or they will be beaten by a "coalition most foul," notwithstanding their overwhelming strength. If we are to be beaten in Vigo, where may we look for success? But we can hardly believe that he fears of the Courier's correspondents are veil founded. The editors of that paper are always among the first to snuffdanger in the breeze, ana during the whole canvass they have observed a most profound silence in relation to the election. This fact leaves us a hope that all will yet

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA. New Vokk, July IS, 1S41. The Steamship Caledonia, Captain McKelver, arrived at Boston at 1 o'clock yesterday, in thirteen days from Liverpool, including detention at Halifax. The news by her is fifteen days later, and of decided importance. The British Parliament was prorogued by the Queen on the 22d ult., and an immediate dissolution and new election ordered. That election was proceeding amid intense excitement when the Caledonia sailed, and the general aspect of the returns was decidedly adverse to the Ministry, who will manifestly be beaten, and can no longer avoid resigning. A full House of Commons consists of f45 members, of which 345 are chosen by England proper. Of these 303 and 1 from Scotland have been heard from, and the result is Liberals of all shades 159 Conservatives ditto Mi Ministerial majority 14; Tory gain 0, equal to In difference. It is expressly admitted by the Ministerial organ (Globe) that no Whig majority sufficient to curry a repeal of the Corn Laws can now be hoped for. Loud complaints of bribery are made by the discom-

The City of London has returned two members of

ench party, by a close vote, as follows: Aid. Wood, whig, 6.315 Mr. Masterman, tory, 6.339 Lord J. Russell, G,'22l Lvall. do. 6.290 At wood, 6,212; Fattison, 6,070; Crawford, 6,005; Pirnie, 6,017. Soa tory heads the poll, and Lord John squeezes in by wine votes the lowest of those elected. Here is a disastrous whig loss of two members. Cut Lord Palrnerton has fared much worse in attempting to carry Liverpool. There the poll closedLord Landon, Tory, 5.970 Mr. Cross well, do. 5.792 Mr. Walnesley, W., 4,617' Lord Palmerston, 4,431 Lord P. at the foot of the poll, and beaten 1.3Gi votes by the lowest Tory! Was ever a high Cabinet Minister so terribly demolished! He has since been returned for Tiverton. The other Parliamentnry members of thq Cabinet have all been returned after some fashion. Terrible riots in connexion with the polling took place at. Liverpool, Blackburn, Carlisle, and many other places. 'At Liverpool, the Irish residents on the Whig side, and the ship-carpenters on the Conservative, were the principal combatants, to the number of many thousands. The Irish appear to have been the aggressors. The Globe Tavern, and another kept by a Mr. Casement both Conservative rallying noints

were furiously attacked and shattered; a daughter of

Air. Casement was badly hurt by a stone, when her father fired upon the mob, and badly wounded four persons, one of them dangerously. The riot was nuclled, and Mr. C. taken lo prison; but he cannot be harmed, even though death ensue. At. Carlisle two persons were killed. In a dozen instances it berame nece-sary to call out the military; and at Blackburn to charge the mob with fixed bayonets. Many persons have died of excitement, exertion, and passion. The commercial news is satisfactory in one respect there have been heavy sale of cotton, the market is active, and there ia clear advance of 1-8 ct. per lb. or nearly $1 per bale on American generally. The yarn market had improved at Manchester, nnd this advance bids fair to be maintained.

In Grain there is little change. The prospect of

the growing crop had betn improved by recent rains, and is considered at least fair. Money is in demand, owing to the enormous loans sought by France, Austria, &.c, to cover the expenses

of their war armaments last vear. The current rate

is fully five per cent. The French loan has been cut

down from 450.000.000 francs to half that sum, or

about 12,000,000.

Thero is nothing of decided interest from Continental Europe. A new Royalist Ministry has been organized in Portugal. The Jacobins of France are pining for another General, War, and seme of the Ministry incline to them, but Louis Philip is adverse. There is nothing of consequence from Algiers. The Turkisir Empire is dissolving. The insurgents in Candia maintain their ground, and new combinations odverse to. tho dominion of the Porte are forming in all the Europeo.n provinces. The throne of Otho now totters to its full; unless upheld by the Western Powers. "'.'.'"" ":"' From "China "there Is ah over lamt mail, but it. is hard to say what the intelligence amounts to, The English are sending forward more troops, both from home and India ; but there is a droll proclamation from Commissioner Yang, setting forth that the English desire only a re-commencement of the trade, wherefore it is decreed that the trade is opened at, Whampoa. A corresponding rumor asserts that the English ships have dropped down the river a mile and a half from Canton.. Can. this mean any thin"!, I have no room for domestic news. There is a silly fabrication in a Sunday paper purporting that a band of Canadians were on Friday night, attempting to liberate McLeod at Lockport. There is no possibility of its truth. Yours, Harold.

PROGRESS OF BUSINESS. We congratulate the country upon the rapid progress of the public business in the House of Representatives.. Already it has passed; 1st, an appropriation bill; 2d, a bill for the relief of Mrs. Harrison; 3d, a bill for the relief of the lunatics of this District; 4th, the Land Distribution Bill; 5th, the Nnvv Pen sion Bill; (iih, the Naval Ordnance Bill; 7th, the Lonn Bill; 8th, the Fortification bill, and yesterday, 9'h, the Home Squadron 'Bill.. The latter bill passed by in unusual majority, (184 to 8,) showing an universal apprehension of a necessity for putting the nation in a state of defence, and furnishing the strongest hope of united and vigorous action in case of war. The House of Representatives is nobly responding to the popular voice which called it into being. Tt, will be observed, also, that every subject indicated by public expectation, as proper for the legislation of the session, has been brought before that body, and ive have no doubt will be promptly despatched. The Bank bill, the sub-Treasury Reiieal bill, the Bankrupt bill, and the Revenue bill, were yesterday brought, to the notice of the House. The Bank bill, we understand, is substantially the same as that reported by the committee of the Senate. The Repeal bill, we are informed, includes both the sub-Treaury nnd the Denosite Act. of 1S36. The vote, in connection wiih the subject of the Bankrupt bill, taken yesterday, is decisive, we are very hanpy lo think, of a determination on the part of the House to act upon it at the present session.

The following Land Offices have been discontinued ruder the provisions of the act of Congress of.T2rh June, 1840, viz: Marietta, Zar.esville, Steubenville, Cincinnati, and Wooster, in Ohio, and the office at Monroe, in Michigan. Madisonian. REMOVALS AND APPOINTMENTS. Within the last few days, several changes have taken place in our diplomatic lists, and in the Genera Land Office. To such changes the whole people of the country have long been impatiently looking, and will say amen! Nothing has recently happened, which has .diffused so general a joy throughout, the ranks of those who conquered the ofiice-holders in the late struggle, than these changes few -though they be. The Land Office has notoriously' been infested by a most obnoxious mass of locofocoism. It required a thorough reform. For example: there was a conspicuous character, who, while he. held office, had habitually written for the Globe, presided over the deliberations of a Jacobin club in this city, and loved his bottle quite as well as his duties. Others were notoriously incompetent and worthless. Thanks to Mr. Huntington for all that he has accomplished. "Well done, good and faithful servant," were words yesterday upon the lips of every Whig and Conservative. For every censure he may hear, be will receive a thousand plaudits from patriotic men in every part of the land, and the people will wish there were more Huntingtons in power. Madisonian.
