The next census is to be commenced on the Ist of
June, ami completed and returned to the office of the

acti>d enumeration of the iuhahitanta was directed
to fie made Within three years after the meeting of
the firat Congress, which took place on the 4th of
im ihnd in every tenth year thereafter. The j

The nboveeoble furnishes a very satisfactory view
of the rapid progress of population, so far ns it re
ipaeu the number of the respective races, the increaao
nearly thirty-three per cent every ten years,
byihe early enumerations of our population tio uni
footn and philosophical classification with respect to
age was adapted, but in the last census there was
mmh improvement in this and other interesting de
tails . Under the act of the last session these will be
a till greater, both to the free and slave population,
and information obtained relating to agricul
ture fmn*s,'6£mrnerce, manufactures, and schools,
* for the purpose of exhibiting a complete view of the
ftarsuits, industry, and resources of the
United States.
A* the, population of this country has hitherto
doubled in twenty-five years, in 1646 it will probably
be twenty millions, the census of 1820 falling little
short of ten millions. The result of the approaching
census cannot be estimated at less than from seven
teen to eighteen millions. In 1837, the entire pope.
Uilion, including 403,000 Indians, was estimated at
over sixteen and a half millions.
From New York.
The Steawk.i . Gucat Western sailed on the 22d
inst. at I‘2 o’clock, M , for England. On Saturday,
she was crowded with ladies who took advantage of
the beautiful weather to exatnine and pronounce their
judgment on her goodbad condition. The trnvel
lin has increased so rapidly of late, that nil the
packets as well as steamers are filled, —the Cam
bridge went with fifty, the Ducliesse d’Orleans with
forty-eight, the Westminister full, the \Tllede Lyons
has already over forty engaged, and the Siddons
nearly fifty. *
Nicholas Biddle. Esq., and his family, took pas
sage in the Gr*ai western, for Europe.
This is Me. Biddle’s second visit to Europe. Me
was a traveller tw nty-five years ago—but what a
change he will find now, not only in Europe but in
himself. He carries with hi n a reputation that no
American ever exceeded.
, Anew Bank is about to l>c formed in New York,
und?r the guidance of a certain Hebrew house in
London. T.ie latest mwj from England states that
u pause took place in the filling up of tlii capital
stock, which is U> be $5,003,009, in fipwwquenci of
the boundary news. Oil the return of th? Great
W astern, the subscriptions will, without doubt, make
progress, and a branch of the institution be shortly
establish din tliai city. To ■ head of the instituion
there, it is said, will be .Ifir. Solomons I. Josephs, (an
excellent choice,) who was formerly of the firm of J.
L. A S I. Josephs, and who is relutod by marriage to
the Cohen* of Baltimore, and to the Solomons of
London, all of whom are interested in the new con
e.ern. The business of the institution will be entire
ly confined to st-rling exchange, mid will go into
operation under the general banking law of that
state, and thus become a great instrument by which
to regulule the balance between the two countries. —
No person in Wall street is better acquainted with
the nature and course of the exchange o|>era; ions of
this country than the gentl-man w? have named,
who may he placed at the head of this institution.
The rise of cotton on the other side will place the
• banks of the south in a very strong position.
After bank hours on Saturday, Wall slreet was
thrown into a state of excitement to such an extent as
to suspend proceedings at the second board. It ap
peared that a certain operator had purchased stocks
to the amount of thirty thousand dollars, fur which be
gave his check, to be made good; he th-n disposed
of the stocks, and having obtain-d the money, lost it,
and thereby was prevented from meeting bis checks.
There was ad ‘Structive fire in Albany on Satur

We have this day the melancholy duty of announc
ing the death of General StuiEL Smith, which took
place, suddenly and with liule previous illness, at
his residence in Baltimore on the 93.1 inst. The
c-rcu stances attending the death of General Smith
were somewhat singular. He had been riding out
in his carriage, in the afternoon, and on returning to
his residence, laid himself down on a sofa, as if fati
gued, and for repose. The servant in attendance
left him thus, and returning after a few minutes ab
sence, found the form of the aged veteran there, but
life was extinct. Thus closed in peace and quiet a
1 >ng and eventful life, of rare public Usefulness -
General Smith was born in Lancaster county, Pa.
but had resided upwards of 70 years in Baltimore
and was at the time ol’ his death, about 87 years of
age.
At the recent session of the Supreme
Court held in Brunwick, Francis Eugene
Bond, Esq. of Darien, was admitted to

tV The people of the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
are carrying out the law of 1831, which ennets that
I no free negro ahull immigrate to or settle in thnl
j State ; and no free negro or free mulatto belonging
to any other stale, district or territory, shall come
into that slate, and therein remain for the space of
ten su.-eessive days, whether such free negro or mu
latto imrnds settling in that state or not, under the
penalty of fifty dollars for each and every week he
or she shall remain in the state ; one half to go to the
informer and the other half to the county, and on re
fusal or inability to pay said fines shall be committed
to jail and -add at public sale by the sheriff as a slave
for life.
Und r this severe enactment, (which has hertlo
forebeen permitted to remain n dead letter on their
! sta.ute books,) n free negro was sold a few days ago ]
i by the Sheriff of Queen Anne's county, for the sum of
| $550, and immediately afterward was shipped for
the south.
The Fayettevelle North Carolina Observer of the ‘

An Important Discovert.— An advertisement J
appears in several daily papers of the North, which !
is calculated to excite considerable interest. We ‘
Allude to that in which Mr. Evans, of Pittsburg,
offers 5,000 to any individual who may succeed in I
exploding a steam boiler, to which the new appara
tus, the invention of Mr. A., may be attached. The j
advertisement is accompanied with strong tostimo- j
nia!s from gentlemen thoroughly acquainted with the
subject, and the invention appears to be the best
thing of the kind ever submitted to public considera
tion. If wholly adequate to the object in view, its
usefulness and importance cannot be over rated
Already thousands of lives have been lost by steam
boat explosions of various kinds, and the individual
will indeed prove himself a benefactor to mankind,
who shall sucaeed in the production of an effectual
preventive to such disasters.
COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
This body which met in Charleston on the
15th inst. udj tinted on Thursday last. The
Hon. Anbury llui.l of Georgia, whs appoin
ted President of the Convention, supported
by Chancelor Wm. Harper of South Carolina,
Mitchel King of North Carolina, Spencer Jar
n ag u in of Tennessee, E. H amilton of Geo.
Charles T. Pollard of Alabama, and Wm. J.
Mills of Florida. An able and important Re
port, and various Resolutions were adopted.
Among them we have only time at present to
notice the following:
Resolved, That this Convention recom
mehtl to the people of the Southern and South-
Western Slates, to appoint Delegates to meet
in Convention at A/acon, in the Stale of Geor
gia, oil the tirst Monday in May, 481)—to eou
t .me to present the interests and objects of
tins Convention before the people—and that
separate and distinct Committees for each
State and Territory represented, be appointed
by the President of this Convention, whose
duty it shall be to take all proper measures i™
secure a full representation from every pars ,
ol those Slates—and whose duty it shall also T
lie to attend the meeting of the Legislatures
of their respective Slates, for the purpose of
promoting by all proper and honorable means j
tiie objects of this Convention.
Resolved, That iu tin: opinion of this Con
vention, the establishment of a Southern Re
view, under the direction of able and learned
men, to be faithfully devoted to the promotion
of science and literature, and also to the de
fence of the institutions, the vindication of the
rights and the developement of the resources
ol the Slave-holding .States, is nil object of the
deepest interest, ami one which should com
mand the cordial co-operation and support of
every citizen of these Stales; and that a Com
mittee of Nine be appointed to carry the ob
ject of this resolution into effect.
Resolved, That this Convention earnestly
recommend to the respective Legislatures of
the Southern and South-Western Stales, so to (
frame their Legislation as to remove any une
qual burden from trade and commerce, and
tiie accumulation of commercial capital with
in their respective Territories.
The Convention feasted luxuriantly on the
Hospitality of Charleston. The dinner, in
which it participated, was a “feast of reason,
and a flow of soul.” The following was the
third regular sentiment:
Georgia—She boasts a people unsurpassed
in enterprise and chivalry. South Carolina
regards her as a noble “partner of her toils,
her feelings and her fame.” ,
THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
Wc arc enabled to slate, on what we believe I
to be good authority, that such instructions
have been transmitted toiler Britanic Majesty’s
ministers at Washington, by the Great West
ern, as will obviate the necessity of sending a
special minister to London. The seat of ne
gociations for the final adjustmentof the boun
dary question is transferred from London to
Washington ; and those negociations will be
pressed to a definitive conclusion.
As bearing on this matter we give two Lon
don articles of considerable interests. The
first is from the London Chronicle—the organ
of tiie cabinet —the second from the Observer,
which is understood to convey the opinions
and sentiments of Lord Palmerston, the Secre
tary for foreign affairs.
From the London Y/oining Chronicle.
The American Boundary Question. — We
have seen letters from Intelligent and well-in
formed persons in North America, and a peru
sal ofthem tends to strengthen our belief that
the proceedings in the state of Maine will not
lead to any interruption of the pacific relations
between this county and the United States.
No doubt a vote of the Legislature of Maine of
BOJ.OIW dollars, to equip a hostile force to pro
ceed to the Aroostook, appears to wear a very
threatening aspect; and were a British force
of suitable magnitude to be despatched to the
quarter in question, and Sir John Harver to be
us bent on mischief as the Governor of Maine,
it might be difficult to say where the mischief,
once begun, would stop.
The cutting of timber on the Aroostook
takes place more or less every winter; but
upon tiiis occasion it was done by persons in
the employment of some American and New-
Brunswick speculators.—The opportunity was
too tempting to Mr. Fairfield, the Govenor of
Maine, who is of the democratic party, not to
be turned to account, and he has accordingly
made the most of it. Fortunately, however.
TH D ; ?YIC INtPOSHO OiSVi TV HERALD,
for the chance of the continuance of ponce, the
slate of Maine hits, wc are assured, uti money
in its treasury, and thus the general govern
ment will have lime to interfere before ny
serious mischief can be done.—Public opinion
iii the neighboring state of Massachusetts, and
throughout the eastern slates, was selling in
strongly against the measures which Maine
hud so rashly taken, and with men possessed
of property there was hut one opinion on the
subject, /t was generally belivcU that the
measure of Mr. Fairfield will merely have the
result of embarrassing his democratic friends
ai Washington; for however restless that par
ly may be, no one anticipates that Mr. Van
Huron will fora moment afford the least on
: courage.nont to this moment. The affair may
in the end be of advantage, if properly turned
I to account.
The government of the United-states has
been placed in a situation of extreme danger
by the proceedings of Govenor Fairfield, and
| it must heartily wish the settlement of the
boundary question, which every moment is
! thus liable to become, in the hands of firebrands
I of the temper of Governor Fairfield, the means
of lightning up it general comingruiimi. None
know belt r iliun those who are til the head of
affairs in America that vvisdou; and true policy
are unavailing to stem the current of popular
excitement, when stimulating events rouse the
feelin sos the people. On the other hand, it
must be known to our government that the
disaffected in both the. Canadas will never
abandon their schemes, so long as they can
cherish a hope that this boundary question
may lead ton rupture between tiie two coun
tries. With this feeling on the part of the two
governments, both deeply interested in remov
ing a bone, of contention by which they may,
under the force of circumstances, be driven to
act in opposition to their wishes and intentions,
it cannot, we should suppose, be difficult to
fall on tiie means of accommodation. Wc
would, therefore, press on ministers the im
portance of not allowing the present favorable
conjuncture to pass by without being turned
to account if possible; and cannot holpbsliev
tng that as both governments must be anxious
for the preservation of peace, having such
strong motives to wish for its continuance,
there is now n fairer prospect than ever of a
final settlement of this boundary question.
From the Observer.
In the House of Commons on Friday
night. Viscount Palmerston, in answer to
Sir Stratford Canning, expressed his con
fidence, with reforenee to the border dis
turbances between the stale of Maine and
New Brunswick, that the most friendly dis
position was entertained by the American
government toward this country. Indeed,
we have heard, from the most imqiiesliou
able authority, that the tresspassers upon
the disputed territory, and whose conduct
lias provoked the threatened collision, are
half citizens of the state of Maine itself, and
half citizens of New Brunswick. It would
most assuredly be absolute madness on the
part of two governments such ns that of the
United States and of her Majesty, allied as’
they are by so many ties of common inter
est, to rush into a general war on account
of a border fray in which the subject of
both arc equally implicated.

The arrival of the Great Wewlern nas create?! a
►good o7*ul of Bi iisation in Wail street, and indeed in
till tm: business parts of the city. Crowds appeared
af tin* various Bulletin Othces to learn the news.—
Tne announcement that Cotton had advanced about
I 1-4(1. from the Ist to the 33.1 March, and that the
market whs In a very firm state, together with the
pucific character of the Gngliti.i Press, caused great
relief. The general impression was that the news
was favorable, and calculated to have a good effect
here.
The Cotton holders withdrew their lots, und would
not sell ut Saturday’s prices, nor until they had time
to look round. Capitalists and monied men felt
much relieved. Stocks immediately went up from u
half to 3 per cent., and there were very . xtensivc
sales mud The Banks show a more speculative
spirit, u greater buoyancy and more extensive opera
tions than we have witnessed for a long time. The
effect of the news will be more beneficial, particularly
to cotton holders and cotton operations. Cotton had
begun to drag.
Exporters and consumers held off with nn impres
sion that Hold is were under such heavy acceptances,
that they would be fore, and into market, and that a
fall would be submitted to. There whs also a diffi
culty experienced by holders in obtaining advances
or raising money on Cotton. That difficulty will
now he removed; the rise on the other side will give,
confidence to capitalists, to make advances, and will
induce exporters and consumers to come into market
and make their purchases, us there will be no hope
of any fall here. Tim South, however, will reap the
great advantage The great bulk of the crop in this
country, as well as thut which has gone forward, is
for Southern account. The result, therefore, will
enable the South to pay their debt to the North, —
which will be acceptable to all.
Money was in a little better demand in Englaud,
that is, Bills were discounted at 4 per cent. There
has not been that panic in American securities that
had been apprehend and. United States Bank had fal
len off a little, and other securities were dull; but the
fall that was apprehend.-d hud not been realised.—
The amount of American loans has a decided influ
ence on the politics of the day. There is a strong
arid powerful monied interest in England opposed to
any hostile measures.
Private letters state, and the newspaper accounts
confirm the report, that Humphrey <f* Biddle hud dis
posed of their entire stock of old cotton. The man
agement of this house is spoken of in the highest
praise ; they have succeeded in holding this immense
stock thr ugh a whole season of depression, and
with a powerful combination against them, —until at
last they have closed tiie sales at high prices, to the
great advantage of the American owners, and to the
no small benefit of our common country. The af
fairs of the United States Bank particularly, us re
gards it# cotton operations, arc spoken of in the lead
ing money articles, greatly to the praise and com
mendation of Mr. Biddle.
The rate of Exchange between London and Ham
burgh mad * gold 1,85 per cent, dearer at Hamburgh
than in London.
The premium on gold at Paris, March 20th, was
73-4 per mile, which, at the English mint price of
31 178. 10 1-24. the ounc*- for standard gold gave an
exchange of 25. 34 1-2, and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25. 15, it followed that gold is
0 78 p*r ct dearer at Paris than in London.
The London price of gold standard in but# ha# ad
vanced to 31. 18s. per oz. and shipments of it still
continue to be made. Dollars are 4s. 10 3-4d. per oz.
The exportation of the precious metals from the port
of London for the week ending March 15th, consist
ed, according to the official returns, of 23.840 oz. of
gold bars, 3291 oz. of gold coin, 137 846 oz. of silver
coin, and 51,2115 oz. of silver bars. Os the gold burs,
17.411 oz. were forwarded to Hamburg, and 6,435 oz.
to Rotterdam.
The gold coins were thus disposed of: —2,150 oz.
to Hamburg: 1000 oz to Coulogne, and 144 oz to
Rio da Janeiro. The silver bars were divided be
tween Calcutta and .v/odras, 26,235 oz, being sent to
th” former, and 25,000 oz. to the latter place. Os the
silver coin 83,000 oz. were sent to Canton, 43,136 oz.
to Calcutta, and 5,700 oz, to the West Indies.
A London paper states that in Holland, money
has become scarce, and so much as 5 to 6 per cent, in
terest is paid for loans on stocks, &c. The Bank of
Amsterdam raised the rate of discount six weeks
ago, from 2 1-2 percent, to 3, end has now further
advanced it to 3 1-2 per eent. From all this, adds
the London Journal, we may reckon upon an in
creased importation of securities from that quarter,
which will probably be paid for by an exportation of
gold.—A'cic York Express.
