The North American mail-steamer Acadia arrived at Liverpool yes- terday

morning ; having left Halifax on the 4th and Boston on the 2d, and bringing New York papers to the 30th. They add scarcely any- thing to the intelligence received by the arrival of the intermediate packets. The " Fall elections " had all taken place : the Boston Courier admits that the Whigs have lost ground, but it denies that the Demo- crats have positively gained strength. The storms continued ; and much damage had been done to the shipping at Boston. Buffalo had been visited by a destructive fire, which destroyed twelve buildings.
