stormy.
The Columbia steamer, which sailed from
Boston on the evening of the 2d March, and
trorn Halifax on the 4th, arrived at Liverpool

sage from Boston in a httie more than 11
days, and in a little over eleven days from
Halifax.
We do not find in the Parliamentary debates,
that the Chinese affairs or the relations with
the United .States, have been objects’ of further
discussion.
The large ware-houses connect’ and with the
London and Southampton Railway was de

“The boy Jones,” who had already been
twice detected prowling about the apartments
of the Queen, in Buckingham Palace, was a
third time found thereon the 10 h March.
The I/uidon Evening Chronicle says: Sir
Jeremiah Dickson, K. C. B. is appointed to the
command of the troops in Nova Scotia.
A large British Jndiaman, called the Hero
ine, from China, for London, was totally lost 1
on the 14th ult., near (,’ajie Spartel Out of
sixty persons on board, about thirty-four are j
believed to have perished, principally Loscars. 1
The vessel was a complete wreck, and it was j
feared that no part of her valuable cargo could !
be saved.
The English papers sta f e, that a French j
brig of war, bound for France, put into St. I
Helena for water 26th January, with a pirati- j
cal vessel carrying 18 guns and 73 men, which
she had captured in one of the bays of Mada- j
gas car.
The King of Hanover is carrying on his suit

Several papers contradict the announcement
made by the London Globe respecting the
“situation” of the Queen.
The Temps says that the Prince de Join
ville is to bo sent to the Chinese seas, where
it is necessary that the French flag should be
in a state of ob.-ervation.
The Bank of England has declared a semi

ment for one month, and a fine of £4OO, for
calling the Peers, superannuated, and titter lor

The Marquis of Hertford is a heavy loser by
the stoppage of the United States Bank. It is
said I hat, iearful of a war between England
and France, lie sold out from tlio English
funds not less than £500,000, and transferred
it for better security to the United States
Bank, and has become minus to this large
amount.
The excitement occasioned by the publica
tion ol Mr. Pickens’ Report had in a great
measure subsided, and the tone of the leading
journals was much less warlike than previ
ously Os course the Tory papers magnify
the danger; while the Administration papers
rely upon the change in our government for a
speedy settlement of the difficulties between
the two governments.
We annex some paragraphs on this subject
from the last papers. The London Tunes,
which, upon the whole, has been rather more
angry in its tone than oilier leading London
journals, thus moralizes on the question of war
or peace:
“ What would they (the Americans) be at
then } The r-leas ■of .Mr. .McLeod is as in
dispensable to British honor as it would be
creditable to American justice. As long as
tilings continue in the present unsettled con
dition, not to speak of actual war, the com
merce and credit of the Ntales, as appears from
the latest advices* are placet] at a serious dis
advantage. Carry matters to the direct ex
treme, and what will they gain by it in any
substantial respect? Os their national cour
age, and j lower of sell-protection, tho govern
ments ot Europe are too Well convinced to
require any occasion, much less a groundless
one, to authenticate the fact. Surely the Uni
ted States, alter having’ shared so largely in
commercial sucres.-, are not beginning as a
young country, to indulge a passion for mili
lary glory! Great Britain ba r already had
her day in this respect, lias nobly won her tro
phies, and peucetuliy sheathed her sword.—
She will brook much—every thing except a
compromise ol her honor—rather than draw
it again.
“A now nation, sprung into importance}
within the last half century, aiul having had j
few opportunities of illustrating its military!
prowess, may be as nicely of its bra- j
very as the unpractised subaltern who lias !
never fought a field. In the latter case a lit- j
tie overacted sens.tiveness may be compara- j
lively harmless and excusable; but as lar as
regards the American republic, the universal - ■
Unacknowledged ease with which she can j
vindicate her valor, will induce lier, we iiusl
to assume its unquestioned quality, rather than j
peril the gravest possible interests in order to
put it to the proof.” !
In the same article, however, occui& tins
passage;
“Despatches, forwarded by the President
steamer, will ere now have apprised the
Americans, that how much soever the people
of England may be divided on questions ot \
home poliev, their present unanimity in deter
miniim that Mr. McLeod must either le sur
rendered or avenged—a unanimity alike calm,
cordial and firm —is probably without a pro-1
cedent, and therefore ought not rashly to be
driven to extremities. Devoutly deprecating I
as we do the possible contingencies ot a war
with the United States, less on account of its .
immediate or remote consequences to Britain
than because of the irrepairable evils it must :
inflict upon civilization and Immunity at large,
it is necessary, nevertheless, to contemplate
these contingencies in a provident and reason
able spirit.” - „
The Hampshire Telegraph has the 10l ow
-1 Vvmptoms of War with America.— We
have this day learned that our government, in
order to prepare for any emergency that may
sprint out of the case ot McLeod (audit the lie- j
public execute him, we doliot think there is a
man in the Kingdom but will demand justice,) :
have directed six regiments to hold themselves ,
in readiness to embark for North America—
two of which are the 19th and 84th regiments,
now in Ireland. .
It is also stated in private letters irom the
first circles in Paris, that Lord Greenville on
the 27th uit. officially announced to M. Guziot
that the English Government would find it
necessary to send ten sail of the line to the
same quarter. Os course a fleet of steamers
will form part of such an expedition.
On the subject of a war between this coun
try and Great Britian, the London Journal ot
i Commerce, in the course of some remarks,
sirs: --
“Os all nations in the world, France, the l -
nited Ftatt s, and Englad, have at all times,
the uv>st substantial reasons for the preserva
tion cf peace. But at present, these three
state - ! ive special political internal causes,
why the” skoukl respectively avoid war as
tke* greatest evil tint could befal them. —
From w :.r, France has to dread another politi
revoiui .oii; engaged in a war, slavery in
the Uuiwi States ‘becomes a mighty politi
cal evi, and the not improbable cause of a
predial rebellion, while to this country in war
contented m Ireland, and Chartism mßrit-
ain, become ripe for revolt Y’et France and
the United States court, and EugianJ is like
ly to be forced into war.
In England, the people wish for peace,
simply because their best interests are wholly
dependent on peace ; the French fancy them
selves insulted, at present vve say not with
what cause, and believe themselves obliged
to measure swords with Europe; but the self
governed citizens of the United States arc ac
tually faxing their ingenuity to discover rea
sons how to compel England to go to war with
them.
JgThe London Spectator issued prior to the
j sailing ot the Acadia", makes horrid war upon
the Report of Mr. l’ickcns. We copy, how
ever, from the Spectator the following sensi
-1 hie remarks:
Every thing seems to conspire to aggravate
! ill-feelings and to neutralize betterdispositious.
j Which is iaord Palmerston doing? Rumor
* says that he sent out peremptory demands
| for Mr. McLeod’s discharge, and orders for
ships of the line to back these demands on the
: American coast. To what end has that been
j done lon what ground? in what fashion?—
lias Lord Palmerston consulted the Law Os
! licers of the Crown and made quite sure that
ihe I ’ life;! States can be called upon to give
up Mr. McLeod, before he has made appear
ance before tbs tribunals, on a charge which
being formally, however groundlessly made,
must be legally disposed of ? 1 las Lord Pal
merston chosen the proper time and mode of
urging the demand to secure success? The
most reasonable demand may bo so put as
to make it impossible to accede ; the country
would be glad to know how Lord Palmerston
has managed.
It is said that four ships of war were fitting
out with despatch—two at Sheerness, and two
at Portsmouth. Their destination was sup
posed to bo trans-Atlantic.
But before the Acadia left England, two new
subjects of newspaper controversy had sprung
up,and were in the full tide of discussion;
these were tho action of the Canadian Gov
ernment in relation to the Catholic Seminary
at St. Sulpice, and the division among the Ox
ford divines respecting the famous “Tract
for the Times.”
London, March 18, (evening.)—Upon ma
ture reflection tho tenor of the advices receved
yesterday from New York, is considered de
cidedly more satisfactory than the previous ac
counts, and consequently the alarm which
prevailed here, on the subject of peace or war
has in some degree subsided. The best
proof of this is the fact of a further advance in
the prices of all securities, both English and
Foreign, yesterday and today; those who had
speculated for a fall having shown a disposi
tion to change their accounts and go for a
rise.
“The improvement in Stocks is assisted al
so by the state of our Money Market, which
has lately assumed an appearance of ease and
steadiness . uch as vve were accustomed to
see in former times ; whilst the demands for
capital in trade are reduced to the lowest ebb,
from the general disposition ot all parties to
limit their risks as possible, until political af
fairs become more settled.
Two o’clock.;—Consols are steady at 88 1-4
to 4 8 for Money, and 88 5-8 to 3-1 for account;
New 3 1-2 per cent; 96 7-8 to 97, and Ex
chequer Bills 6s. to Bs. prem.
Tin: Money Market. —London, March 19.
—The favorable impression produced by the
news received by the Columbia from Ameri
ca, has led to a further improvement in the
Funds to-day. Consols for the account hav
ing closed at 88 5-8 to 3-4, being 1-8 per cent
advance since yesterday. Exchequer Bills
were 6s. to Bs. prem.
London, March 16.—Within the lost three

France.
The National , speaking of tire dispute be
tween England and America, says—“ We hope
the United States will be firm to the end. it
will not be the first time that they have low
ered the British pride, which has always in
creased in insolence with the humility of its
adversaries. Let the Americans bear their
own history in mind; they will find in it just
grounds lbr confidence, and the whole world
will he indebted to them if they succeed in
shaking a power, whose immoderate ambition
is the source of annoyance and anxiety botli
to the old and new States.”
The Them [o’ says that the Prince de Join
vllle is to be sent to the Chinese seas, where
it is necessary that the French flag should be
in a state of observation.
Galignani's M ssenger , of Monday, the 15th
of March, says—“On Friday evening, Count
Von llart g, attached to the Austrian Embas
sy, left Paris with despatches from Count
and Apot.g to the Cabinet of Vienna. We be
lieve we can affirm that these despatches re
late to conferences which have taken placo
within the last few days between M. Guizot,
and the Ambassadors of the Powers, which
took in place in the conference of London, con
cerning tiie protestations of Meheinst Ali a
gainst the obnoxious stipulations of the Sul
tan’s firman.”
Letters from Strasburg of the Sth of March,
state that the garrison of that city, as well as
those of the cities in the department of the
l-ower Rhine, are going decidedly to be retlttc
jed to the peace establishment.—Gazette de
France, March 15.
Paris papers to the 17th of March, are near
ly tilled with the report on the fortifications of
i aris, read on the 15th, hv Baron Mounter, to
the Chamber of Peers.
Spain.
Madrid, March 3.—Spain has just passed
through two great trials without turbulence or 1
violence—a general election and the carnival.
By a singular fatality, periods and occasions
of public amusement are always being sus
pected of becoming times of trouble and disor
der.
Letter* received here to day announce the
immediate departure of Senor Olazaga from
Paris.
Madrid papers of the 6th state that reports
were in circulation of a speedy change in the
composition of the Cabinet.
Accounts of general dissatisfaction in the
provinces were daily arriving at Madrid.
Madrid papers of the lOih of March, state
that the Duke of Victory was so far recovered
from his indisposition as to be able to attend
the deliberation of the Council of Regency on
the 10th. The report of the prorogation of the
Cortes to the 24th is without foundation.
Austria.
The Austrian Government, with the con
sent of the Grind Duke, has just established
a Cabinet noir in the capital of Tuscany.—
The Court of Vienna has calculated that by
this means it may be informed of every thing
that is passing in Europe.
Russia.
It is said that the Russian Government is
about to contract anew loan of 100,000,000
florins in the Dutch market, notwithstanding
that Messrs. Hope ha'e hitherto disposed oi
only 15,000,000 out of the 60,000,000 of the
previous loan.

Attempt on the life of the. Queen Dowager of
Spain. —Letters from Rome state that an at

the Queen Dowager of Spain, but on what

The report of Admiral Elliott’s resignation
from ill health, is confirmed, and he had ar
rived at Singapore on the 17th December, and ,
left that port on the 20tii following, whereby
Commodore Sir James Gordon Brewer takes I
the command of the squadron.
DISMEMBERMENT OF MEXICO.
The late intelligence we have from Tam
pico and Matamoras, intimates that a plan is
now on foot, and about to be executed, by
which all the Northern States of Mexico will
be erected into a separate government, at the
head of which General Arista will be placed.
The inefficient rule of Bffstamente has espe
cially disgusted the people of Tamaulipas,
Durango, Zacatecas, San Lois de Potosi, Co
ahuilaand New Mexico; while the ill success
of the last armed ehbrt at reform in the capi
ta!, has convinced the inhabitants of the North
ern States of Mexico, that further connection
with their Southern neighbors can only serve
to retard their advancement as a nation.
It is believed that General Arista has the
promised aid of ail the commanders of the
troops in the Northern States, as soon as the
standard of separation shall be raised; nor is
he without assurances of assistance from
abroad. There are said to be large capitalists
fn Europe prepared to advance money for the
troops, and take concessions cf lands in pay
ment ; which lands will be parcelled out a
raong a large number of European settlers.
Should the scheme succeed, we shall see ,
another, and perhaps a very flourishing mem-:
her, added to the American family of nations, j
In the salubrity of its climate, the value of its
agricultural produce, or the richness of its
mines, few parts of tiie world may excel the j
region that was formerly known under the I
name of Internal Provinces of Mexico. Un
der any thing like tolerable government, and I
aided by the capital which Europe can spare, j
the Northern States of Mexico must soon be
come a great and powerful nation.—Louisiana
Courier.
The Boston Morning Post, in speaking of
the appointment of Receiver General of public
money for Boston, says :
“ Mr. Samuel Frothingham—lhe late cashier
of the United States Bank here—has been
appointed Sub-Treasurer in the place of the
i ton. Isaac Hill, removed. They mean to have
tho people’s money in the hands of the old
Bank folks, by hook or by crook.”
The public but little know tho influence
which Mr. Biddle has with the present Cabi
net. It is absolute with several of them, (the
public know who we mean,) and every thing
that lie requires to he done, will be accom
plished by them. We said at the commence
ment of tho last session of Congress, that a
restoration of the deposites to the Bank of the.
United States was one of the first objects of
repealing the Independent Treasury system.
The third and final suspension of the Bank
will prevent open and direct restoration ; but
indirectly and clandestinely it will be done.—
Tho Biddle Bank-men will fill all the offices,
connected with the collection of the public
moneys ; and these will deposite in the branch
es and satelites of the Bank of the United
States, and pay out their paper in the discharge
of the public obligations. Thus, the Biddle
Bank, although a mass of infamy, rottenness,
and abhorrence in Philadelphia, is still power
ful at Washington city, carrying all before it
in nearly all Ihe departments, and especially
those which have most to do with the public
money. The instance mentioned above, where
a Biddle Bank cashier is made a Receiver
General in the Snb-Treasurv, is merely a sam
ple of vvliM has been going on.—Globe.
One thing certain. —Death is a theme of
universal interest! Tho lightest heart, the
least, thoughtful mind, has no disbelief of death.
The distance of the dark cloud in which he
comes, sailing through the bosom of futurity,
may Le miscalculated ; but the world unhesi
tatingly owns that he is coining, and will at
last be here. In almost every other particu
lar of existence, the fortunes of men differ;
but to die is common to all. The stream of
life runs in a thousand’ various channels ; but,
run where it will—brightly or darkly, smooth
ly or languidly—it is stopped by death. The
trees drop their leaves at the approach of tho
winter’s frost; man falls at the presence of
death. Every successive generation he
claims for his own, and his claim is never de
nied. To die is ‘die condition on which we hold
life ; rebellion sickness with hopelessness at
the thought resisting death ; tho very hope of
the most desperate is not that death may be es
caped, but that ho is eternal ; and all that, the
young, ttie careless, and the dissipated at
tempt, is to think of him as seldom as thev
can. No man, therefore, will deny, that
whatever can be said of death is applicable to
himself. The bell that he hears tolled may
never toll lor him* lie may not have to lie thro’
long and anxious days, looking for the coming
of the expected terror ; but he knows that he
must die ; he knows that in whatever quarter
of the world he abides—whatever be his cir
cumstances—.however strong his present, hold
of life—however unlike tho prey of death he
looks—tiiat it is his doom beyond reverse to
die.— Stebbing’s Discourse on Death.
A Broken Heart. —A young girl, a Ger
man, died lately at Baltimore, under circum
stances deeply affecting. She was engaged
to be married to a young man of Philadelphia,
who, for reasons best known to himself, com
municated to her a short time since, Ins inten
tion of abandoning her. On receiving this in
formation she became the child of sorrow and
despair for ten days, when reason left its seat,
and she became an awful maniac, unceasing
ly calling on her lover to “come to her.” On
the evening of her death, she ordered her “wed
ding garment to be prepared,” saying that she
“was to be married at ten o’clock,” the precise
time of her departure to a world of spirits !
Sam Slick says, if ever you want to read a
man, do the simple, and lie thinks he has a
soft horn to deal with; and while he s’poses lie
is play in you off, you are puttin’ the leake in
to him without his seem’ it. Now if you put
on the knowin’ it puts him on his guard di
rectly, and he fights as shy as a coon. Tal
kin’ cute looks knavish, but talkin’ soft looks
sappy. Nothing will make a feller bark up a
wrong tree like that.
Gov. Porter Ins vetoed the Pennsylvania
Bank Relief Bill.
The ex-President goes into retirement high
is the confidence of liis own party and com
manding the respect of Ins opponents. Mr.
Van Buren in his most palmy day of prosperi
ty, never wielded the same moral and personal
influence that he now does, stnpt of the in
signia of authority, yet retaining it, through a
steadfast and honorable devotion to his prin
ciples and liis party.
At a recent general meeting in Philadelphia
of tiie Stockholders of the United States’
Bank, a Report of its affairs in full was sub
mitted, prepared by a Committee ot Investiga
tion appointed at a previous meeting. This
report is thorough and searching, going into
every detail of the Bank’s operations, in this
country and abroad. It brings to light the
evidence of gross mismanagement on the part
of some of the officers of the Bank and neglect
of duty bv the Directors. Tiie conclusion
arrived at is, that ‘he stock is fairly worth for
ty-six dollars per share.
Why is a young ladylike a caret ul house
wife ! Because her tcaisl is as little as she
can make it.
United States Bank.—-The adjourned
general meeting of the Stockholders took
place in Philadelphia on Thursday*, when the
Committee which had been appointed to report
‘on the course proper to be adopted by the
Bank, made ihe following recommendations :
To reduce through the agency of the Leg
islature, the capital to fourteen millions, and
to have the loans to die State, and the sums
oaid to the State reduced to the ratio estab
lished for other Banks.
To change the name of the Bank. To re
strict the mode of voting by proxy.
To protect bv special security the Circula
tion, Deposits, and Post Notes ot the Bank.
Several other resolutions were adopted.
Among them was one instructing the Di
rectors to inquire into the obligations in
curred by the former officers oi the Bank, and
if possible to proceed by legal means to en
force the fulfilment of them. Another ab
solved the clerks of the Bank from oaths to
keep secret the transactions of the Bank from
the Directors and Committees of stockholders.
The meeting adjourned to meet on the sec
ond Tuesday in May.
The North American remarks that from
the spirit evinced by the meeting, “it is now
certain that the character of the institution
will undergo an entire change and be speedi
ly resuscitated'”
Col. Drayton has been selected by the Board
of Directors, as President of the Bank, in the
place of Mr. Dunlap, resigned. This gentle
men is favorably known all over the United
States. Once a distinguished citizen of
Charleston, South Carolina, and representa
tive in the National Senate, he has enjoyed,
and still enjoys, the unlimited confidence of
the people of this country.—Baltimore Amer

DIED
In this city, on the Sth inst. Mr. HOMER HURD, j
after a long illness which he bore with most remarka
ble and exemplary patience. No man has ever en
deared himseif to a large circle of acquaintances and
friends, by the amiable qualities of an affectionate
heart, more entirely, than the lamented deceased— ,
and to a bereaved consort, no consolation could be of
fered in the trial which has been brought upon her. ex
cepting in the gracious assurance of a blessed issue to
him who has gene, furnished in a sririt cf meek sub- |
mission to the will cfGod, and a communication in the
body and blood of the Redeemer, upon a dying bed.—
Ho .v painful is it to see one cut down thus in the mids*
of his days and removed into the land of forgetfulness •
Yet bow shall not the heart of the mourner be recon
ciled by those inefficient comforts which are ministered
to it in the Gospel of Christ—by which only he who i s
‘•the resurrection and the life,"’ hath said, “he that be
lieveth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live
and whosoever hveth and believeth in me shall never

COUNCIL CHAMBER,
! Athil it, IS4I.
The Council met pursuant to adjournment.
Present—His Honor ihe Mayor, Aldermen Berry,
Bedell, Morton, Morris, Sturgis and Williams
Afie- reading the journal of ihe last meeting, the
following rom uunicaiiou from his honor the Mayor,
was ieau to Council, to-wit;
r IO “ILK ALDERMEN OF THE CITY
COUNCIL.
Gentlemen :—lt is my oliioial duty, to in
lorm you that the Court decided this morning,
tve nad not the right to tax Bank Stock.—
Ihe law under which we attempted to coi
j•’ c * tax on Bank Stock, is as follows :
I he City Council shall have power “ to levy a tax
of not exceeding fifty per centum over the State tax on
all persons, aiticies and professions, subject to taxa
tion by the laws of this State, and on all stocks of
merchandize not exceeding two and a half per cent, on
j the capital employed.’’
This section or clause of the law contains
our whole authority upon the subject of tax
ation. If it gives us no right to tax Bank
Stock, (and here 1 do not intend to question
I the decision ot the Court,) does it give us a
j right to tax houses and lots, negroes, auc
tioneers, livery stables, drays, carriages, note
shavers or persons who employ their money
lat. interest, lelail license,or any of those ob
jects of taxation, not expressly named in the
above section ol the law ? Tlieie is no term
or expression of the law which would em
brace any of those objects or privileges, more
clearly or fully, than Bank Stock, ll there
fore, we cannot tax Bank Stock, I think we
should not tax any ot the subjects which I
have named, and which heretofore have been 1
considered and treated as the proper and le
gitimate objects ol taxation ? The question
here presents itse.f, what property is em
braced in the term, articles ? What does the
word mean ? and what did the Legislature
intend by the use of it, standing where it does
in the part of the section, 1 have quoted a
buve ? Did they not intend to give the City I
Council of Columbus the power, by the use j
of that word, to tax all the different kinds of
properly, privileges and objects, which the !
state by her own laws, makes the subject of 1
taxation? If Ihe law is not susceptible of;
sucli construction, it certainly means nothing, j
lor the word articles, represent no subject i
matter of taxation. There is nothing call-!
ed articles, which can be found in the list or I
table of taxable property set forth by the laws I
of the State? We must then take it in its
representative or relative character—and as
it has been decided and settled by the Court,
that it does not represent bank stock, I shall
insist, it cannot represent houses and lots, ne
groes, drays, livery stables, brokers, black
smith forges, retail license, nor any other ob
ject or privilege, heretofore taxed by the City
Ordinances.
I am aware, gentlemen, in taking disposi
tion, our City will suffer a heavy loss in her
annual resources, hut I had rather cut off en
tirely the # inea ns of the City, than do injus
tice, particularly in taxation, to the hum
blest ofher citizens. There is another view
of this question, which confirm-! my mind, in
the correctness and propriety of the course 1
here recommend. The taxes of our fellow
citizens. by recent legislation, have been alar
mingly increased, and their oppression lias
already waked up public opinion. The peo
ple begin to enquire how it. is, that every
year their burthens are made greater, when
they are flattered with the hope and promise
that each succeeding Legislature would re
lieve instead of increase their embrrassments.
At a time like this, and under the existence
of faots so plain and so sensibly experienced
by all, the question come up for our action
as the Legislature of this City. Shall we
impose taxes under the authority of at least
a doubtful power, upon the property of our
citizens, when the Banks which embrace the
largest portion of the actual capital and
wealth of the City, are exempted by law of
our incorporation, under the decision of his
Honor Judge Welborn? It certainly is noth
ing hut just and equitable, that we should so
regulate our proceedings as to make the bur
thens and expenses of tiie City fall with a
proper proportion on all. Thatisa wretched
and oppressive system of government, which
by its legislation, relieves or exemplsone por
tion of the people from taxation, and impo
ses the whole burthens on tlie other. Eve
ry act or measure which has for its oliject the
encouragement of this system, should be
promptly resisted. There exists 100 great a
propensity in this country to give to all incor
porations, dangerons and exclusive powers.—
Such grants should awaken the attention Oi
the people, and arouse to vigilenceand action
all the friends to equal rights. I cannot for
the life of me, see why the investment of fif
ty thousand dollars in Bank Stock, in any of
the Banks of this city by one citzien, should
any more exempt iris fifty thousand dollars
from taxation, than that of another citi
izen who builds a fine Ware House and la vs
out for this market the same amount. Yet
under the very law of our incorporation the
Bank man cannot be taxed for his Bank Slock
while ihe Merchant is made made in his
stock of merchandize the special subject of a
high tax. Why should ibis be so ? Is Bank
Stock more useful to the community, than
merchandise—or is the Bank man a better
citizen, a more useful member of society, that
he is raised above the reach of taxation? —
Whilst the merchant who, by his enterprise
increases our commerce —gives to business
its life and tone, is made to feel the heaviest j
weight of’ taxation ! In all such cases there
exists an inequality and injustice by the law
which is not compatible with proper and just
legislation.
Then the question is presented to us—
what shall we do? I answer we can refuse
to collect any taxes, unless we can exact
them from all our citizens equally, &. in propor
tion to the property they own. It is notour
fault that the Banks pay no tax; 1 may add, it is
not the fault of the Banks, nor the Court who j
decided this question, hut the fault of the law j
making power of the State who granted our
charter. The people, our constituents, must
call upon the next Legislature, through their
Representatives, to have the laws of our in
corporation so amended and defined, as to
stive the City Council the right to tax the
Banks as well as the people.
Until this is done, I recommend to you gen
tlemen, a total repeal of every and all tax or
dinances, now in force ; and that our citizens
pay no other taxes than such as the laws of
the State require to be paid to the Tax Col-
I lector of Muscogee Countv.

The following Resolution was adopted by
I Council:—
Resolved, That three hundred copies of the
communication of his Honor the Mayor, rela
tive to the imposing of taxes for the present
year, be printed under the superintendance of
the Clerk, and distributed amongst our fellow- !
citizens; and, that the further consideration ‘
be postponed until the next meeting oi the ■
Council.

; the following report, to wit
i The committee appointed by vour honor, beg leave
Ito report that they have had quite a temporary dam
j made for the present. They are at a loss to reoom

, believe that if the Council is agoing to do any thing
with the water power, that action should be known,
‘as we believe that in disposing of the water power, it
can be advantageoustv arranged to stop the wash, as
w e will be compelled to have a conductor to convey
jhe water : but in the event that there is nothing done
! with the waterpower, there “ill hive to be built a

PRESENTMENTS
Os the Grand Jury of Muscogee count}’, April
Term, 1841.
THE Grand Jury, selected and sworn on the first
panel! for the present term of the Superior Court
ot the County ol Mu-cogee, being at ihe close of the
labors assigned them, beg leave to present their res
pects to his honor, Judge Wellborn, for the urbanity
and politeness observed by him towards this body, and
to acknowledge with pleasure the aid and assistance
which they have derived, in the administration of jus
tice between litigant panics, from his clear and lunii*
nous exposition- of the law, ihus propounded, ail easy
nia ler l<>r the jury. We beg also to say, that the
communication ot the Solicitor General, pro tern.
VV ilham Rabun Shivers, E-q. so far ns had with this
body, has been characterized with that attention which
merits and receives the thanks of the Giand Jury.
Since the commencement of the present term cf
the Court, we have been pained by the sad intelliaenco
of the death of the illustrious A\ i liam Henry Harri
son, late President of the United States. We cannot
but mingle our regrets with those of the whole nation,
on nil occurrence so much to be deplored by all. For
the first time since the organizniion of the govern
ment, we ate called'to mourn the death of our Chief
Magistrate, while in the actual discharge of the func
tions of his high station, During a long and eventful
life, ihe late President filled many and important sta
tions under the government, and always with honor to
himself, and credit to the country. Equally distin
guished for valor as a soldier—ability as a statesman
and integrity as a man—his death can be viewed in
110 other light than as a great public calamity. We
therefore desire to express our sympathy with the
country generally, arid the family of the late President
particularly, on the death of one so distinguished in
public, and esteemed in private life.
The usual examination of the Books and Records
of the offices of the Clerk of the Superior and Inferior.
Courts, has been had, and we find nothing w hich de
tracts from the high character which those officers
have maintained fur neatness and correctness.
Relying upon die judgment of the present Inferior
Court, and their devotion to the interests of the peo
ple in the disbursements of the public inottev —wo
nave given only a cursory examination to (he Treasu
rers Books. We find them kept in that plain, neat
and simple manner, sot which that officer, John Bc
thune, Esq. has so much celebrity.
All, or nearly all the bridges in the county liavo
been destroyed by the late disastrous Hood, and wo
respectfully ask the attention ol the Inferior Court, to
their re-construction as early as the nuances of tho
county will permit.
The Grand Jiny arc informed, that a number of ca
ses, adjudicated before the present Clerk of die Supe
rior Court came into office, have not been recorded as
the law requires—and although we understand the lato
clerk is occasionally employed in the peiformance of
•hat duty, yet we suggest that a sufficient time has e-,
lapsed since lie w ent out of office, within which tho
W’ork ought to have been done, and therefore recom
mend hat the records he made complete as early as
possible.
J he great importance of preserving die public re
cords, ana the loss and inconvenitnce which has been
experienced fruit their destruction by fire heretofore,
induce the Grand Jury to recommend the Inferior
Court to have tie m Kt pt in die basement looms of
this building. It is evident that they might liefpro
served, in case of fire, from the lower rooms, whilst it
might be difficult, and even impossible to reach theiu
in die upper rooms.
The Grand Jury congratulate themselves and tho
county, upon the fact, dial but very few bills ofindict
menl have been offered to their consideration, and that
1 hey have no presentments to make, for violation of
the law,as having come under our official cognizance.
The Grand Jury request the publication of these
views in th< journals of die city.
