The mail-steamer Hibernia, which left Halifax on the 18th instant,

brings New York advices to the 15th, and a bulky double mail from -Canada ; one having before been left behind. The United States intelli- gence adds few facts. In the pending elections for the House of Repre- sentatives, 123 out of 223 members had been elected; and the Whigs boast a gain of 4, while the Democrats had lost 10. In the Senate, the Whigs expect to retain their majority of 6. These are balances against the election of Mr. Polk.

The Canadian papers supply us also with few striking facts. The most remarkable election-loss of the Ministerial party was Mr. Viger's defeat at two places. On the other side, Mr. Mucks had been twice defeated. The election of Dr. Wolfred Nelson, notorious for his share in past disorders, seems to have startled all. As to the general impres- sion resulting from a survey of the whole election, we should say, that the question entertained by the electors was, broadly, support or opposi- tion to Sir Charles Metcalfe, and that they have responded by giving Sir Charles a clear "working majority" of about ten, exclusively ot " Doubtfuls." The Provincial Parliament was announced to meet on the 28th instant.
