■ New York, May 20. i Arrival of the Caledoma. THIRTEEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. The British Steamer Caledonia, Capt. McKeller, arrived at Boston yesterday tuorniug, at 6 o’clock, f-tnn Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 4th instant, hiving made her passage in less than 15 days. She was 44|.hours on her passage front Halifax, where she left 35 passengers; to Boston, she took 48. Of tite President steamship nothing had been beard. It Was pretty generally believed that she had foundered in the heavy gale that overtook her soon after her leav ing New Y ork, or that she had been crushed by the ice on the Banks of Newfoundland. Still it was thought by no means impossible (bat some of the crew and passen gers had escaped in the boats, been picked up by some vessel, and carried to a distant port. The British ministry were defeated on the 27th ult. on the Irish Voters Bill, by a vote of 300 to 189. Majority against ministers 21. Great excitement was caused by a notice from Lord John Russell, that about Whitsuntide he should move a committee for the revision of the Corn Laws. The announcement was followed by repeated bursts of ex ultation on one side and indignation on the other. ellor of t Ire Exchequer had opened what is commonly called The Budget. He began by ad mitting that there had been a considerable deficiency in the income of the last year as compared with the expenditure. The question would naturally be asked, whence this deficiency had arisen. The answer was, Iron a felling off in the main sources of revenue—par ticularly on currants, molasses, spirits, sugar, tea, wine and sheep’s wool. There had been some in crease on butter, cheese, coffee, olive oil, pepper, raw silk, cotton wool, and one or two other articles. The diminution on tea, sugar molasses and spirits had aritti, not from disinclination to consume those arti cles, M»l from the increase of their price. There had been* considerable diminution of the Excise duty on spirit! iu Ireland, but this he mentioned with sincere pleasure, because it arose from the improvement oi the people ia point of temperance. The China difficulties have not been settled quite so satisfactorily as was reported at the last steam J acket arrival. On a question being asked Viscount lelbouroe in the House of Lords, ou the 29th ultimo, as to whether auy information of any agreement or settlement with the Chinese had been received by the Government, he replied iu the negative. In reply to a deputation of merchants, who eotn- ilalngd of the recent arrangement, Lord Palmerston "said, that as yet he was only acquainted with the only principles agreed to between the Plenipotentiaries— uautely, that the Emperor was to cede to the British crown, a territorial possession in China, that an in demnity was to be paid to the British Government; and that the official intercourse between the two coun tries was, for (lie future to be conducted on terms of perfect equality'. As yet he knew nodiing beyond the admission of these important principles; and as it was expressly stated that the details were to be the subject of further negotiations, it necessarily followed that it was impossible for his lordship to come to any'con clusive opinion as to the acts of the British plenipo tentiary until iu full possession of the details of the a few moments. Yes; died of hunger in what has been justly called the granary of the world. The .air for miles was pt*5»one<l with tile effluvia emitted from the putrifying bodies of the dead. The livers were chok ed with the corpses thrown into their channels. Moth ers cast their little ones beneath the rolling waves, be cause they would not see them draw their last gasp, and feel them stiffen in their arms. Jackalls and vul tures approached and lattened upon the bodies of men, women and children, before life was extinct. .Madness disease and despair stalked abroad, and no human power present to arrest tbeir progress. And this occurred in British India, in the reign of Vic toria the first. Nor was the event ex'raordinary or unforeseen. Far from it. 1835 witnessed a famine in the Northern province. 1833 beheld one in the Eas tern. 1822 saw one in the Deccan. They have coir tinned to increase iu frequency and extent under our sway, for more than half a century.’ Under the ad ministration of Lord Clive, a famine in the. Bengal province swept off three millions; and at that time the British speculators had their granaries filled to reple tion with corn. Horrid monopoly of the necessaries of life! Thee millions died, while there was food enough, and to spare, locked up in the storehouse to gether. To add to the horror with which he had been called upon to regard the last dreadful famine, (that of the last year,) we are made acquainted by the returns of tiie custom house, with the fact, that as much grain was exported from the lower parts of Ben gal, as would have fed the half million who perished, for a whole year. Yet this awful oppression and these desolating famines must go on, that England may ex tort a hundred millions of dollars every year, from her hundred millions of Hindoos; and poppies must grow instead of wheat, that, at her cannon’s mouth, she may force her opium upon the three hundred mil lions of the Chinese, while some one solitary marsh- man, perhaps, is translating the Bible of the Christ ians, to bring these countless millions to accept the religion of a nation that stands ready at this moment to destroy one half of them by war, that it may de stroy the other half by poison.” Splendid Eruption of a Volcano.—We are indebted, says the Newark Daily Advertiser, to an officer of the Explo ing Expedition, for files of the Polynesian, a useful little paper published at, the Sandwich Islands, and transfer the following extract from a full account of the last remarkable volcanic eruption, w hich was briefly referred to by our corres pondent in a late, letter, as having been witnessed by the officers of tiie squadron: Several day before the eruption, smoke teas seen by the natives risiug from the direction where the lava afterwards burst out, hut it was attributed to brush on fire. At two o’clock on Sunday, the last day of May, a bright light.was seen from Hilo towards the south, which spread with great rapidity', and increased to such an intensity that it was immediately attributed to a volcanic eruption. This the report of the natives soon confirmed. It was judged to be thirty miles dis tant, and at night such was tiie brilliancy of the light, that the finest print could be easily read at that dis tance. This noon-tide brightness, converting night inio day continued far two weeks, and is represented by eye-witnesses to have been a spectacle ofunsurpas- further negot iations so alluded to. , The Dublin Monitor states that the accounts from I * cd subl J m 'V' II " as 1,ke tl,e S lare of a firmament on nil parts of Ireland, as to the stale of the registries j f,re ’ a " d w . as seen for upwards of a hundred miles at rthit are most deplorable. The Liberals are beaten in someoftlieir strongest holds, and the Tories have tri umphed by vast majorities. Louth is all but lost: of all the counties in Irelaud it was considered the most . With few' exceptions, the tenants of the nu- merons large Whig proprietors of Louth are unregis tered, and this (says the Monitor) is the fruit of the Repeal nonsense—of neglecting the registries to speecbiiy at meetings of the Registry Association of Ireland.” The Steamship President, cost £80,000, and was insured on leaving Liverpool, for $60,000. — A nephew of the veritable Alexander Selkirk, the original of the celebrated Robinson Crusoe, is living at Cannon Mills, near Edinburg, in rather indigent circumstances.

A Temperance uieeting, fit Newton Hamilton, o'u the I2tb was attacked by a gang of persons, who fired random shots in the streets, broke windows, and endeavored to provoke a breach of the peace. The Police were summoned, and they remained oft guard a great part of the night. At Lurgan, a large meeting in the Diaper Hall was at tacked on the 13tir,' says the Belfast Vindicator, by “a pack of banded bloodhounds, whose evident pur pose was the destruction of some or all cf the inmates.

Go with me intothe northwest provinces of the Bengal presidency, and 1 will show you the bleaching skeletons of five hundred thousand human beings; who perished of hunger in the short space of It also rose and spread itself above the lofty mountain peaks, so as to be distinctly visible on the leeward side of the island, where the wind drove the smoke in dense and massy clouds. The lava continued flowing towards the sea, tvhicli it reached on Thursday, four days from its first egress. At times it would rush forward with a velocity of four or five miles per hour, but for a short distance only, then become very sluggish, and move heavily and slowly on. Its general movement was in immense semi-circular masses, owing to its great consistency. These would roll on, gradually' accumulating, until the mass had become too heavy to hold itself together, while the exterior was partially cooled and solidified; then bursting, the liquid interior flowing out, would join a new stream, and thus aid in forming another. By these accelerated progressive movements, the wave-like ridges were formed, which are every where observable on the older currents. At times, it forced its way under the circumjacent soil, presenting the sin gular appearance of earth, rocks and trees in tumid,i, like the swell of the ocean. Mr. C. was standing near the stream and watching its progress, when the land beneath him beg in to rise, and in a few minutes he was ten feet above his companions, who were but a short distance from him.—lie had barely lime to leave this dangerous situation, when the earth opened, and lava gushed out. The color of the whole stream was of the deepest crimson. On the windward side its heat was not so powerful, but that persons could approach arid plunge sticks into the firery mass and draw forth specimens. So great was its viscidity that large forks were seen floating down the current, like cork upon water, in one night the stream spread from a few rods to half a mile in w idth. The spectacle, when this burning mass reached the sea, must have been awful and sublime in the highest degree. The conflict between the two antagonist powers, fire and water, was on a scale which the eye of man but seldom witnesses. The heavens were lit up in one intense blaze, while streams of fire like lightning glanced About iu every direction. Ashes and sand were thrown to a great height into the air, and descended for miles distant in showers of fiery spray. Volumes of smoke and stream rolled heavily op, rendering the lurid glare still more powerful, while the heavy detonations and loud reports of ex ploding gases, and the roar of the conflicting ele ments, were distinctly heard twenty-five miles off, like discharges of artillery. With such rapidity and to such a degree was the Posthumous Respect for the Great.—There is scarcely any delusion which has a better claim to be indulgently treated than that, under the influence of which a man ascribes every moral excellence to those who have left imperishable monuments of their genius. The causes of this error,lie deep in the in most recesses of human nature.' We are all inclined to judge of others as we find them. Our estimate of a character alway s depends much on the manner in which that character afiects our own interests and passions. We find it difficult to think well of those by whom we are thwarted or depressed; arid we are ready to admit every excuse for the vices of those who are useful or agreeable to us. This is we believe, one of those illusions to which the whole human race is sul tject and which experience and reflection can only partially remove. It is, in the phraseology of Ba con, oue of the idola. trilms. Hence it is, 'that the mo ral character of a man eminent in letters, or in the fine arts, is treated,—often by contemporaries,—al most always by posterity',—with extraordinary ten derness. The world derives pleasure and advantage from the performances of such a man. The number of those who suffer by his personal vices is small, even in his own time, w'hen compared with the number of those to whom bis talents are a source of gratification. In a few years, all those who be has njured disap pear. But his works remain, and are a source of de light to millions.—The genius of Sallust is still with us. But the Numidians whom he plundered, and the unfortunate husbands who caught him in tbeir houses at unseasonable hours, are forgotten. We suffer our selves to be delighted by the keenness of Clarendon’s observation, and by the sober majesty of his style, till we forget the oppressor and bigot, in the historian. Falstaff and Tom Jones have survived the game- keepers whom Shakespeare cudgelled, and the laud- ladies whom Fielding bilked. A great writer is the friend and benefactor of his readers; and they cannot but judge of him under the deluding influence of friendship and gratitude. We all knuw how unwil ling we are to admit the truth of any disgraceful sto ry about a person whose society we like, and from whom we have rtceived favors, bow long we struggle against evidence, how fondly, when the facts cannot be disputed, we cling to the hope that there be some explanation or some extenuating circumstances with which we are unacquainted. Just such is the feel ing which a man of liberal education naturally enter tains towards the great minds of former ages. The debt which he owes to them is incalculable. They have guided them to truth. They have filled his mind with noble arid graceful images. They have stood by him in all vicissitudes,—comforters in sorrow, nurses in sickness, companions in solitude. These friendships are exposed to no danger from the occur rences by which other attachments are weakened or dissolved. Time glides by; fortune is inconstant; tempers are soured; bonds which’ seemed indissoluble are daily sundered by interest, by emulation, or bv caprice. But no such course can affect the silent con verse which we hold with the highest of human intel lects. That placid intercourse is disturbed by no jealousies or resentments. These are the old friends who are never seen with new faces, who are the same in wealth and iu poverty', in glury and iu obscurity. With the dead there is no rivalry. Iu the dead there is no change. Plato is never sullen.—Cervan.es is uever petulant. Demosthenes never comes unsea sonably. Dante never stays too lung. No differ ence of political opinion can alienate Cicero. No heresy can excite the horror of Bbssnet.—Macauley's Miscellany. * Report of the Branch Bank of| Tax Receiver* the State of Georgia. BRANCH BANK STATE GA. \ Katomtos, Mat 27, 1841.

The particulars of the affair, as far as wc have been able to gather them, arc, that on Thursday the 15th instant, a person calling himself Nathaniel Britton, went to the Bank of America with the cut half of a certificate of depnsite. stating that twenty-three thousand Mexican dollars had been placed to the credit of the hearer in the Commercial Bank of New Orleans, and requested of Mr. Thomp son, the cashier, the other half of the certificate. With this request Mr. Thompson complied, having received ten days before a letter purporting to come from George O. Hall, the cashier at New Orleans, enclosing the half of a certificate which he was re quested to give to Mr. Britton when he should call for it. The two halves were compared and found to correspond. Mr. Britton then inquired where he could get such a draft cashed, and Mr. Thompson ac companied .him to the offices of different money bro kers, who declined inkitm the draft, but finally Mr. Jacob Little agreed to purchase it at a small discount. A clie> k on the Union Bank was given for it, and paid in one thousand dollar hills. The draft being sent to the south, Mr. Little wa» informed ia reply that all the papers were forgeries. It appears that this was only one of a series of frauds that litis fellow has committed. At Louisville he re ceived fifteen thousand dollars from the Bank of Ken tucky, by similar means; at Cincinnati he received thirteen thousand dollars from the Lafayette Bank ; and at Philadelphia lie sold a draft for fifteen thousand dollars, which being suspected, was soon after relum ed. At Louisville he took the name of Dawson, and at Cincinnati that of Parker. He is an Englishman, apparently about thirty-five years of age, light hair, with a large forehead, a defective front tooth, an in tense expression of countenance, and a slight stoop in the shoulder. Mr. Little has offered five thousand dollars, and the banks other amounts, for his appre hension.

JEREMIAH CLARK, President. D. R. ADAMS, Cashier. Iu the presence of James Nicholson, j. i. c. Office of the W. 4M. Rail Road, April 15th, 1811. To hi* Excellency Charles J. McDonald: Sir,—By reference to the accompanying document, the report of Major William*, Chief Engineer, it will be seen, that the aggregate ex penditure incurred for materials furnished aud work done on the Wes tern & Atlantic Railroad, during the quarter ending.on the first week of this mouth, aiuouuts to 4U) sixty-uue thousand and eigh teen dollars, forty-six cents. This sum covers all dues .to contractors of every description, including timbers for superstructure, as well as materials, wooden tmil uietaiic, for bridge building and uli other purpo ses. Reserving, according to the terms of every contract, which , tire Commissioners have made since they have had charge of ibis public work, twenty-five per cent, of the stipulated price of services rendered, the actual disbursement* for the quarter may be stated at ($53£10 931 fifty* three thousand two hundred uud ten dollars mud ninety-three cents. The smullness of this expenditure as compared to averages fur a. like period of time in the years 1838,1839 fit 1840, is to be accounted for hr the facts, that the road formation has progressed towards completion thut the bridge architectureon the N. W. division of {he road has been by order of the board, partially.suspeude I, aud that most con true Ion having hud a prolongation of the term within which meir engagements were to have been fulfilled, are operating with a diminished force. The reasons for this indulgence were given iumy last report and need not now be repeated. , .. i. . . lu the month of February last, information having been received, that one or more pf the Brunch Railroads, which are to connect the Western Atlantic .Railroad with t lew. markets of Macon, Savannah and Augusta, were likely to be urged forward, the Board of Commis sioners determined to take immediate step?, to complete thesuperstruc- tore on at least fifty miles ot iuJ State’s work. After due publication of notice,adequate supplies of timber lof jb* purpose were contracted for on favorable terms; ar.d it is nol doubledthat jhe whole will fcn de livered in the course of the coming summer. The experience of every country where railroads have been construe d, has shewn that tiuil»eis used as mud-sills and cross-ties, placed horizontally and in contact with the earth, ora liable lo speed v decay— tendency that cannot fail, in the luiitudv of Georgia, to increase great ly the exjiense of repairs. To the end, of dimi* ishing that expense, the Commissioners could not but see the utility of employing such means of preserving timber as chemistry and the reports of practical men had recommended to public confidence. Among these, the efficacy of chlo ride of mercury, the corrosive sublimate ol commerce, seems now to be weil established—and a combination of the sulphates of iron and of copper, is next.in repute. Kyan, of England, is the discoverer of the former, and Dr. Earle, of Philadelphia, the laiter; both of wh«»m have received letters puteut from their respective, governments, anti Kvan, it is understood, has secured his rights, of discovery, on both -sides of-the Atlantic. Whatever may he the difference in the intrinsic valne of these two pre-ervniiv.e processes, time, and trial can only determine— Kvan's has stood tiie le-t of fuugus pits and some fifteen years expo sure to common atmospheric agents, eve* changing temperature, mois ture aud dryness. Earl’s sulphates have been ou trial about two years in some timber pavements laid on two of the principal streets of Phila delphia and by comparison with unprejuucd blocks laid dow n at the same rime and place, give good uidicatibus of anticipated durability. The slightest examination of the subject will render palpable, the economy of using these preservative processes on railroad timber. Its cost, per mile, varies from two to three thousand dollars, according to the plan of superstructure which the Chief Engineer may adopt, and the prices at which the timber can be had. Kymi's pritcess is estimated at from 30 to 50 percent, ou the prime cost of «ke limber preserved by it—and Earle’s at not exceeding lOorlSper cent. Should they then give hut three-fold durability to timber, (audit maybe five or te'n-lold) thr; saving or nett gain to the road or its proprietor, must, in a protract ed term of years, l»e immense. Since my last quarterly report, nothing has occurred to obstruct se riously the progress of this public work. The inability of iho Com missioners to make payment in any thing heller than Slate Bonds, has had the unavoidable effect of erdiaucitig, to some extent, the current ex- pe no it ure, and doubtless occasions delay in finishing the tunnel and some other very heavy parts of the road.
