r O R E I G N k 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. : Correspondence of the Herald. London, April 7, 1841, } 15 o’clock, p. m. £ Eilitor Herald : Not much lias taken place in t.'ie old world since my last. Lord Granville, tlio British Ambassador in Paris, is down with a stroke of palsy, but is mending.

In Austria, they are pressing matters with the Pope about religion. In Prussia, they are drilling soldiers, and school teaching ail they can. The Easlern question is just about on a point where till the live powers can, if they wish, keep it at rest, and just where any one of the live powers can raise a quarrel out of it just ivluen they please. 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.

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.

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. Among the numerous puns in Mathews present entertainment he is quite “at home,” in the following: A person speaking to a very deaf man, and getting angry at not catch ing his meaning, says. “ Why it is as plain as A B C.” “Aye sir,, but I am D E F!\ — London paper. 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 ! long with the piece of coal has been visited j 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 toad ever since the formation of the seam. EXCHANGE &.

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.
