UNITED STATES.—The New York Courier has published a tabular statement,

which shows, that in the contest between General Jackson and Mr. Adams for the President's Chair, the General has a majority of 119,304 votes.

INDia.—The heads of the different native castes in Bombay have honoured the memory and the virtues of the late Sir Edward West, Chief Justice of the Presidency, by presenting an address of condolence to his surviving companion on the judgment-seat. The addressers, also, are determined to found some scholarships and prizes, bearing the name of Chief Justice West. It is pleasing to hear these familiar terms of our Universities transferred to the distant regions of the East.
