F'-om the New York HcraM. April 51.
FOUR DAYS I.ATER FROM I.LTKOPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
The (ireat Weslern steamship, Cap*, llos
kin, arrived here yesterday about 1 o’clock,
having made the passage in 10 days. She left
Bristol April Bth, and brings us L mdon papers
of that day.
The Western brings out 41 pissengers,
among whom are Mr. Joshua Bates, of the
house ol B iring & Cos.; Mr. Crydcr, of the
house of Morrison, Cryder Si Cos.; Miss Jau
don; tiie U. S. Consul to Manilla and Ins
family, &c.
The steamship President had not arrived
out when the W estern left, and the most in
tense anxiety prevailed in relation to her.—
Many fear she is lost.
The money, cotton and corn markets were
dull, heavy, and without material change.—
Consols still at 89 7-8.
The Steamship President. — Liverpool,
Tuesday morning, half past ten.—We are still
without the arrival of the steamship, which
sailed from New York for Liverpool on the
11th ult She has now been out twenty-six
days, and as three sailing packets, all of which
left that city since the President, have readi
ed this port, the most serious apprehensions
are entertained for her safety. She has 27
passengers and a large and valuable cargo on
board. The junior current here on Nuncfay of
her having been seen by a ship from St. Mi
chael’s proves unfounded
Liverpool, April o.—We continue without
any intelligence of the President. During
the day there have been several telegraphic
communications from Holyhead. All parties
here are of opinion that she has put back.—
No account whatever has been heard of her |
since she was last seen by t/ie Orpheus very
early on the morning of the 12th ult.
In addition to this, we learn that the packet
ship Virginian, which left New York three
days after the Presiden\ encountered immense |
quantities of ice, some pieces 15 feet high
above water.
Liverpool, Monday Evening.—a rumor
prevailed here yesterday, and was pretty gen
erally credited, that the President, about which
such painful surmises are afloat, had been
seon making for the Azores, in order to pro
cure fuel. The statement turns out. to be in- 1
correct, but as yesterday was Sunday, it was
almost impossible to trace it to its origin.—
Two vessels arrived her yesterday from St. \
Michael’s, one of the Azores—the Lynx and
the Star of the West. They sailed in com- |
pany on Thursday week, and arrived by the j
same tide. The crew of both vessels say that
from the time of sailing until reaching the j
Channel, they saw no steamer whatever—
This is conclusive as to the falseho ’ of the j
report. There can be no doubt that the Pre
sident experienced the very same hurricane
which the Caledonia steamer encountered on !
the 13th and 14th ult., which is described by j
some old captains on board, as being one of ‘
the most severe they ever witnessed in the
Atlantic. In the mean time public anxiety is 1
stretched to its utmost tension respecting her
fate, and it forms the almost exclusive subject! ;
of conversation. :

Eilitor Herald : Not much lias taken place

The Chamber of Peers will soon try, and
probably hang, as he deserves to be, D’Armes

In Belgium, the people are vvoi king hard, and
Leopold is changing or about to change Min

The Easlern question is just about on a
point where till the live powers can, if they

Last night, in the House of Commons, Air.
llume was about to move for all the corres
pondence in the Caroline atiliir, but desisted,
at the roques of Lord Palmerston, who stated
that if the negotiations are made public at
present it might embarrass proceedings be
tween the two governments—both of whom
were desirous of prserving peace. Mr. Hume
said, lie would postpone Ins call till after the
recess!
Both Houses have for some time been occu
pied with local affairs. A resolution offered ;
the other night, respecting free trade, elicited j
some warm discussion, in which warm compli
meats were passed between Mr. Viliers and ,
Mr. Bingham Baring, the son of Mr. Baring,!
alias Lord Ashburton ; but by the intercession
of the Speaker, they were reconciled.
The friends of free trade, and of a re;>eal of
the odious Corn Laws, are lighting manfully
in England, and every new year gives tlrsm
new strength, new hopes and new courage,
and God grant they may ultimately succeed in
their noble work; though they have a wall of
church torvism to light against, l think they
will ultimately make a breach and reach the
goal of all other human hopes and struggles.
The President is s;ill due, and great anxiety
prevails about her safely; and it is said poli
cies were yesterday advanced on her 25 per
cent. She is now out 27 days. Hope, how
ever, she is safe. Bon jntir, A. J.
The Queen and family are in good health.
Albert has been made Grand Ranger of Wind

They wrte from Rome, on the 23d, that the
celebrated Bsrgami, who figured in the trial of |
Queen Caroline of England, died, a few days
before, at h:s villa of Fossombrone.
The Alford Tract agitation increases in
vielonce. The celebrated Dr. Wiseman lias
published an able letter, in which he demon
strates that there is absolutely no difference
lictween the teaching of Oxford and the
Vatican.
The Revenue. —The official account of the
revenue for the years and quarters ending re
spectively on the 3 hot’ April, 1840and 1811,
have been published. They exhib.t, on the
whole year, a decrease of £300.280; and up
on the quarter, $70,514. The principal
sources of revenue which exhibit a diminution
are the customs and the post office. The de
ficiency in the customs is £301,0-32 on tue
year, and £54,115 on the quarter. The de
crease of the post office revenue on tits year
realises the worst anticipations that had been
formed respecting it; it amounts to the enor
mous sum of £833,000; the deficiency on the
last quarter, however, as compared with the
corresponding quarter of last year, when the
lour penny rate was in operation, is only
£ >8.(>00.
In the branch of Excise, the tables of the
revenue show an increase on the year of j
£48:1,J,>9, but a decrease on the last quarter
•■1 £44,526. These results are to be consid
ered in reference to the present position of the
country, when a Ur e additional expenditure
ins necessarily i eea incurred, and viewed in
this hjr’.it, they ire ceitainly discouraging.—
Tue decline i.i the customs appears to be pro- !
gressivo.

TURKEY AND THE EAST.
Constantinople, March 18.—The Turk
ish fleet had reached on the 16th, and had re
sumed i f s accustomed station along the Eu
ropean bank of the Bosphorus. At a recent
conference at the ho’ei of the British Ambas
sador at Terapia, the Ambassadors of the Four
Powers adopted the resolution of supporting
the claims of the Pacha, and notified that if
the Sul'an did not concede them, he must ex
pect no further interference on the part of the ■
Powers they respectively represented. The
Porte his consequently no alternative but lo
comply with the requisition thus made upon
it.

THE RELIEF MESSAGE.
I We observe the following extract from the
■ Presentments of the Grand Jury of Wilkin
son coomy, copied with approbation in sev
eral W hig papers:
“We can but express our unqualified op
position to what is commonly called Gov.
McDonald’s relief measure, believing as we
do, ihal the following, among other objections, j
, are unanswerable —
First —Because the plan cannot be carried
| out so as to aflbrd even temporary relief, with
out destroying the already shaken credit of
our beloved Biale.
Secondly—ls the bonds of the Stale coaid
be sold at par value, the measure is sti I ob
jectionable; for it would in elieot be taxing
one portion of the community for the relief of
another —a principle of political economy
wholly at vaiiance with the spirit ol republi
can institutions. We recommend to our fel-
I low citizens, as the surest and best means of
deliverance from the embarrassment of the day,
increased industry, and continued well regu
lated economy.”
We are glad to see the Whigs acting with
| boldness in reference to lLis question, at least
jin some quarters; for we are thus enabled
j fairly to make the issue before the people.—
Tiie recommendation of Gov. McDonald,
though in itself having no reference to party,
| being supported in the Legislature almost
unanimously by bis friends, and as tmani
! mously opposed by bis political enemies, has
becomea party measure; and one upon which,
from its prominence just at this time, the fall
elections will mainly turn. We have shown
’ how inconsistent the wings were, a I ter all their
j clamor about relief last summer, in not acced
! mg to the plan proposed lor this purpose, or <
adopting some other which should beefl’ectu-
Ia lin accomplishing the object they pretended.
’so much to desire. We shall now briefly
! present our views in reply to the objections
j urged by the Grand Jury of Wilkinson, and
| the Whig party generally.
First, say the objectors, ilie plan cannot be
carried out, “without destroying (lie already
shaken credit of the Slate.” This is matter
of opinion only; no facts exist to make any
conclusion in ties respect a matter of certain
ty. We think it would he difficult t > show
ihe co-redness of the opinion thus advanced.
Indeed, it is almost impossible fiir us to con-
I reive how the borrowing money, for only
j three vear-q !<• be loaned at ilie same inierest
’ paid lor it, and to be returned on or before the
end of that time, con'd affect materially the
credit of the State, when it is remembered
that the money so loaned would restore indi
vidual confidence and credit, save property
from sacrifice, and remove tlie paralyzing de
pression which has every where in Georgia
lit Hen upon business. 1 his is upon ihe sup- j
position that money coul I he borrowed lrom
capitalists, which it is contended could not ■
now be done, arid which we are inclined to
admit. But could not the loans be affected in
another way? We certainly think so. Sup
pose tfie State, through the Central Bank, had
decided to issue its bonds, in sums varying
from S-20 to SIOO, bearing interest at the rale
of eight percent., redeemable in one, two, and
three years. Suppose these bonds to be loan
ed to the extent required, to persons who
would give the same interest, upon notes like
| v V ise payable in one, two, and three years;—
* and suppose further, that these bonds were re
; ceivahle at the Central Banks for all notes due
it, and for taxes to the Slate? Does any one
j imagine that good notes of individuals would
not have been given !<>r the bonds on these
terms, that they would hot have gone into
general circulation, or that they could have
been even as much depreciated as Central
; Bank hills which bear no interest?
Secondly, ‘f the bonds were distributed as
above suggested, how would one portion of
I the community be taxed tor the benefit of an
other ? The Slate would exchange its credit
for that of individuals, which would be equal
ly as safe for the amounts for which it would
he given. /Vs the notes were paid the bonds’
would he redeemed, and no loss, an I hut lit
he risk would he incurred. The people could
not he taxed, for their would he nothing for
(hem to pay, unless the borrowers and their;
| endorsers should become insolvent, and little I
! danger would arisr on this score, it those who !
; had charge of the loans discharged their duty, j
In no aspect, -lien, in which the question can
! be presented, do we see anv foundation for ;
1 the apprehension of the \\ iikinson Jurors.
To the last suggestion of that honorable
body we willingly subset ihe. ‘‘lncreased in
dustrv” is certainly needed; and with “well
regulated economy.” afford the surest guaran- j
jt v ol prosperity. But people may he placed
in a position in which their industry cannot be
advantageously exercised. II the Sheriff sell
; the land of the farmer, how can lie make a
crop? If he sell his horses and his ploughs,
1 how can he till the soil ? All we want is, that
; die failure of the last crop should he met bv
‘ granting facilities to pay a portion of the debts
’ of the peopie to such creditors as cannot or
’ will not wait, so that the farmer or mechanic
| mav have his land and tools saved from the
’ Sheriff's hammer, and have something with
’ which to work out of his embarrassments. -
’ But this has been denied—and that, too, by
men who have ridden into power upon their
~ profession of love for the poor and etnbarrass
‘ mem! the people look to it that they be
1 not again deceived.
Gambung away a Daughter.- 1 -” A few
days since,” says the Journal de la Meuse, j
“an inhabitant at Void, playing at billiards,
staked the hand of his only daughter, a hand
some girl of 18, against his adversary. The !
imprudent father lost, and the winner has
since insisted on payment being made, claim
ing the young lady, fortune and all, or else a j
sufficient indemnity. The daughter, howev
er, objects to the validity of the bargain, and
gaining debts cannot be enforced by law.”
General Jackson. —The Louisville Jour
nal savs, a few weeks ago, we saw a very long
letter from Gen. Jackson to a gentlemen, who
had drawn on him for one hundred dollars.—
He acknowledged that the money was due ;
but stated that he was so miserably embar
rassed by his security debts as to be utterly
unable to raise even the small sura necessary
to meet the draft. lle said he had some blood'-
j ed stock which he was willing to give up to
the drawer of the drait. but that -810 J in mon
!ev was out of the question. W e have not,
1 for a long time, says the Journal, read a letter
’ that more deeply excited our sympathies.
j Martin Van Buren. —“ I have had suffi
icient experience to satisfy me, that so long as
I continue to merit the confidence of m yfrierds
1 should receive the condemnation ol my Joes,
and that lew political men are praised by the
latter, until they are about abandoning the for
mer.”—Martin V an Buren.
The above text embraces within itself a
whole political sermon. No one has better
deserved the confidence of his friends, or re
ceived more abuse at the hands of his foes,
than i’s illustrious author. Indeed, no max
im in the whole Democratic creed is more sus
ceptible of application to things around us,
j„han this—that no man is praised by the Fed
eral parly, unless he has forfeited in some
measure, the confidence of the Democratic
party. —Bay state Democrat.

An Antideluvian.— The strange vitality j
of the frog, when entirely shut out from the u- I
sual means of supporting existence, is already
well authenticated. A late English paper
j relates the following instance of the discovery
!of an old croaker. A highly respectable in
habitant of the town of Lancaster, was break
ing a large coal, when to his great surprise a
fine frog jumped out of a small hollow in its :
centre. It was immediately secured, and a

by numbers of the curious. The frog or toad
is fine, lively specimen of the genus. From !
the appearaneee of the reces in the coal, it is
supposed that it had formed the honseof the

COUNCIL CHAMBER,
April 19th, 1841.
Council met pursuant to adjournment.
Present, his honor the Major, Aldermen Abbott,
Berry, Bedell,Clayton,Greene, Howell, Morris, Quin
aid Williams.
After reading the journal of the last meeting, a com
mon cation from Samuel Calhoun Esq , was presened
to Council, in lehtion to the landing of the ferry boat
on the western bank of the river.
Whereupon Alderman Williams offered the follow
ing :
liesov ed. That the communication adJres&cd to
Council by S. Calhoun Estf. be referred to the bridge
committee, and that said committee be authoriz'd to
remove the ferry beat opposite the whats. provided the
arrangement heretofore made with the citizens of Gi
rard, cannot he carried out according to the under
standing heretofore made. Adopted.
Alderman Williams offered the lollop ing report and
resolutions :
The communication addressed to the City Council
bv its presiding officer at its last meeting. in relation to
the decision of the Superior Court, tgainst the exer
cise o.’ the taxing power by said Body, upon Bank
Stock. And the views and suggestions of the Mayor
upon that decision, rende- it necessary for the Council
| or such member of it, as may differ in opinion with the
Mavor. to give their reasons for such difference of opin
ion. We do not propose to and scuss the correctness
! upon legal principals of the decision of the Judge of
! the Superior Court, for we will not question it, nor is
it necessary for us to go into an argument to show that
Bank Stock ought, injustice to pay tax. as well as any
other species of property —Because that would be an
argument more properly addressed to the legislature.
, for an additions grant of power. Eut we propo-te to
i give our reasons for dtss- nting from the reeommenda
| rion of the Mavor, that the City Council should re
j peal every and all the tax ordinances here’ofore pass-
I ed by that body, aud refuse to collect any taxe: what-
I ever.
The inhabitants of cities every where have found it
necessary tor reate a fund to defray such expenses as
might be incured in works if genera! interest and ben
efit. This is done under the sane.ion of an act of the
Law leaking power, prescribing sued rules as are in
tended to make the assessment lor the creation of this
fund, opera’e equally upon all, for whose benefit it is
to be disbursed. *1 he citv of Culumbus, like all other
cities, have asked this power fiom the legislature, and
presented an act for tiiat purpose, drawn up by her
own attorney, at and all power granted lo the extent ask
ed for. Whose fauit “is it then, that the anks pay
no tax, certainly not the fault” of the legislature, nor
the fault of the banks, for they are justified in their
position by the highest judicial tribunal in the Slate,
which has the wright to decide upon the extent of our
powers. It is the fault “thenot the city itself, who
have neglected oromhied to ask of the legislature the
right to exercise the particular power in question ; is
it proper then that the City Council should make its
omissi ms or negligence in excuse for repealing all the
tax ordinances, and thereby’ do manifest injustice to
those to whom she ctv is indebted.” It is known to
everv member 1 f Council that the city is indebted up
wards of seventy thiusand dollars, over and above the
available assets in hand ; these debts have been con
traded by parties relying upon the good faith of the
! city.toiakea.i necessary measures for iheirexlinguish
| ment, as early as practical. The ordinary methods of
: raising monev by rhe city is from the bridge lolls and
I taxation. The bridge having been swept off we mus’
I appropriate the money arising from the ferry and
! bridge for this year and next, to the payment of the
debt con’ racted for the rebuilding it. Repeal your tax
ordinances, and you have nothing upon which you can
rely for tlie payment of even the inter cst of the bal
ance of ihe city debt of sixty thousand dollars—it must
be recollected that a large portion of this debt is of a
very sacred and delicate character, involving the cred
it of the city, and each individual m mher of it, in a
very high degree, and that another large amount of it
is in that condition that the property of the city can be
seized upon for its payment at any moment. Now
will it be pretended that our failure to c -Uect tax from
the banks would justify the Citv Council in the course
recommended, wiien so great injustice would ensue to
those to whom the citv is indebted, and when so great
a ri-k must be incured of having our valuable city pro
perty sacrificed—it is true that iho city taxes cannot
pay these debts in one year, but we as citizens are as
much bound to contribute tins year towards it as we
were last year, or shall be next year, and as long as
we act in good faith in collecting the annual revenue,
and applying it to the extinguishment of our debts,
there will be good ground for forbearance, but if we re
fuse to do it, forbearance will cease te be a virtue, and
we must look to a sacrifice of city credit and city pro
perty as the natural consequence. Butthe Honorable
Mayor xvou and prefer to cut oft’ entirely the means of
the cit v, than do injustice particularly in taxation to the
humblest of her citizens.
We respectfully contend that no injustice is done to
any cit’zen, be he humble or exalted, by the imposition
of a moderate tax,assessed according to law, which
is to be expended for his benefit, and the ordinance of
this city have been made in pursuance of law. and
must tie so held till overruled bv a competent tribunal,
but we can see very clearly lioiv injustice would be
dune to many citizens, both rich and poor, if the city
fails to rede-em her ci culation, (much of it in the hands
of the humblest of our fellow-citizens) or to pav her
contracts ttir w o k and labor done at the request of the
City Counc 1. We cannot see the applicability of an
other view of the question, which seems to have con
firmed the mind of the Mayor, in the correctness and
propriety of ihe course he has recommended. “ The
taxes ol our fellow-citizens,” says his honor. ‘• hv re
cent legislation, have been alarmingly increased, and
their oppression has already waked up public opinion.
The people begin to enquire how it is, that everv rear
their burthens are made greater, when tney are fiat
tersd with the hope and promise that each succeeding
legislature would relieve, instead of increase their em
barrassments.”
Let us examine the sac’s. The people of this city
I in 1836, paid eight thousand dollars into the Citv
Treasury. In 1840, about $2,400 were assessed, all
of which was not collected, and the ordinance of the
present year, 1841, assesses just one half of the amount
which bv law, the City Council is authorized to levy.
With all due deference of opinion of others, we cannot
conceive that this statement of facts can justify the
ground that our taxes have been alarmingly increased,
and we apprehend that our fellow-citizens will riot le
fuse to pay them, n account of rhe additional burden
and oppression imposed, there being none. The truth
is, that this particular “ view of the question which
seems to have given strength to the recommendation,
that the City Counc I should repeal her tax ordinance,
can only refer to the general legislature of the State,
which operates upon all alike, and can have no relev
ancy to tlie ques ion before the Council. From everv
view ofihe subject, wo can see no good which can re
result from the adoption of the recommendation of the
Mayor, whilst many great evils must necessarily en
sue.
The only ground upon which a refusal to pav taxes,
is predicated is, that the Banks do not pav. We be
lieve it would he proper that they should he included in
the list of artiejee taxable, and it is true that they con
tributed three nundred dollars each, a few years ago,
hut thev have n iver paid tax in pursuance of any ordi
nance of the citv. We are therefore in no worse con
dition than xve have b -en heretofore, and the-ame rea
sons for a refusal to pay, has been equally strong for
every year since ‘he existence of the city. 5Ve do not
believe that the high minded citizens of the city of Co
lumbus require the Council to repeal her tax laxvs upon
this ground , nor do we believe that they xvonld refuse
to pay the tax imposed, even if the authority to levy it
was much more doubtful than it is. and so long as xve
believe that the People oftliis citv desire to see the con
tracts and obligations of the city liberality fulfilled, and
its credit preserved and maintained inviolable. We
shall feel it our bounden duty to support with all legal
authority, the execution of our tax Ordinances, aud to
oppose every* suggestion for their repeal.
Rosolved Therefore, That the C>t-V of Columbus
xvill “n good faith perform all the contracts and dis
charge all the obligations and debts info which she
mav hbve entered, according to the terms of agree
ment.
Resolved. That the officers of the city proceed in
the asse- sment and collection of all taxes imposed up
on'the citizens of the city for the present year, accord
ing to the ordinances heretofore passed on that subject.
Adopted.
Alderman Howe'l offered the following Resolution :
Resolved: That the Committee on Contracts he
authorized to contract fir the repair of the upper and
loxver servers. Adopted.
WM. A. DOUGL \SS, Clerk.
A RECOMMENDATION.
At a regular meeting of the City Council a
resoluiion was adopted, making it my duty to
give notice of the same in “hand bill form.”
I deem it unnecessary to add any remarks, as
an inducement to a strict compliance on the
part of our lellow-citizens with the object ol
the resolution.—The death of our Chief Mag
istrate, at such a time and under all the cir
cumstances, is calculated to make the nation
feel deeply, which should be evinced by sas
hing, humiliation and prayer. I therefore call
upon the Reverend Clergy and the Citizens
generally, lo comply with the request in the
following resolution of the City Council.
John L. Lewis, Mayor.
By Alderman Greene.
The President of the United States having
issued a Proclamation recommending the 14th
of May, inst., to be sat apart as a day of Na
tional Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer to
Almighty God, and we deem the recommen
dation proper, particularly in view of the be
reavement which the nation has so recently
suffered in the loss of our Chief Magistrate :
Therefore
Resolved, That the Reverend Clergy of this
City be respectfully requested to open their
respective Churches for Divine service, and
that we recommend that all places of business
may be closed, as that day may be concerted
as a National Sabbath.
That the Mayor be requested to give notice j
in handbill form. j
Which was unanimously adopted by the
Council.
