By last night’s mail we received New York papers announcing the arrival of the Great Wes tern. The news is of a highly favorable character. There was not much excitement on the Boundary question. Colton had advanced a penny since our last advices. The Steamer Liverpool had not arrived in England when the Great Western left. Our Augusta friends are determined to have Macon bankrupt, whether or no. I,otters and audits from that sisterly city, have carried the news to all parts of Georgia, Alabama, &c. that every Hank in the city of Macon bad broke! Pile elfeet of this intelligence was. perhaps, so far as it went, precisely what was intended by its au thors, viz- to produce a run upon the Macon Hanks! The other part of the intention, to wit: a tunprneion of the Macon Hanks, has not jet been effected. Put how long it may be, before that event is brought about, under the neighborly treatment of our Augusta friends, we are unable to say. —Macon Telegraph of IGIh April. Wo cannot conceive any good reason for that excessive degree of vindictiveness manifested by several papers in the interior cities towards Au gusta, of which the above is a fair specimen.— We deny that such letters have been written Irom this city, or that Agents, (Bunk Agents wo presume are meant) have carried “nows to all parts of Georgia, Alabama, &c.,” that “every Hank in Macon had broke!” Wo distinctly deny these things, and do not believe that the Editor of the Telegraph haasecn any such letters from any respectable source here, or heard the Agent of any Hank hero, make such charges, lie has been imposed upon, or else is himself attempting I 1° impose upon the public. The bills of all the Banks in Macon, except the Monroe Kail Road and the Darien Branch, are bankable here, and the former are taken generally by merchants for goods. Wo should like for the Editor of the Telegraph to he specific in his chaigea, and to name the persons who have written such letters as those referred to hy him, and the agents who bas e cir culated such rumors. The authors of such mis chief ought to be exposed, 11 su -h authors there be; and we are sure the citizens of Augusta will j i take it as a f.ivor, it the Telegraph will publish 1 names, instead of denouncing in general terms | our whole city, and casting upon it censures which it does not deserve, and which are thrown hack in the spirit which dictated them. To bo plain, we da no! hnlieve a syllable of the whole .dory.' Wo neither believe thatsuch letters have been written by respectable citizens of this place, or rumors circulated by the Agents of our Bunks. The citizens ol Augusta, besides being actuated by higher and belter feelings than those ascribed to them, have too deep a stake in the Macon Hunks, which constitute a large portion of our circulation, to do any thing to injure them. The whole story looks very much like it was got up for effect of. some sort. When the proof is pro duced wo shall be convinced, but not until then i Wo hope the latter paragragh of the above article is not ominous of a suspension by the Macon Banks, and intended to forestall public opinion and cast the odium of such an event upon the Augusta Bunks. The great match race between the celebrated horses Boston and Portsmouth, for ten thousand dollars a side, came off on Monday last at Peters burg, Va. The race was won by Portsmouth quite easily.

So liir as we can judge from a hasty glance at the papers before ns, h.c tempo rary adjustment ot the dispute appears to have I given general snlislaeiion, and even the most | ultra ol the uuli-Aineriean journals have inaui r. i tested a degree of moderation on the subject I which wo hardly expected. ;) | The Herald, it is true, recommends the im i ! mediate sending of 20,000 men and 10 sail of the t j hue to the North American coast; and the Stainl it anl affirms that no diplomacy but that of cannon II mid bayonets can be relied on; but the Times 1» —the thumlcrer of tln> British press—discourses l) on the matter in the following moderate and rca i amiable manner. it •• We have heard from high and grave an il lltrrities in the United States, men whom we be lieve to have been really conscientious in their 11 allegation, that there could he not a shadow of 1 doubt as to the right of .Maine, to the whole of .1 the disputed territory : thi e p, rsuns at the game ;) | time iutimatin : a strong conviction that the hone t ! contending for was not worth to either count) v ,) a dozen human i.v, s. 1 “Itn vv appears that, how ever, the joint memo- I random of Messrs. Forsyth and Fox, may le II calculated to avert (and God grant it may sue- I ceed in doing so) any immediate appeal to vio lence nnd bloodshed, the tone of the senators who j have spoken upon the subject corresponds tni i nutaly with thui of the Senate, which pul as.de I the arbitration of )BSo-:)l, and insisted that Ragland bad no right to tire |< ist portion of I lie : evil contended for. Although, the. oh.re, fnea sures huninnr and considerate have l.ecu pursued on this occasion for posiponing the armed cap diet, and saving the irregular and precipitate Id fusion of hlood, nothing has taken place to en courage the least hope that by any expedient hut mrrmdtr >f the whoh subject in dispute, will this country ho able to calculate on a more than transient gleam of repose lor her pr. vinecs in Norm America. “ In this journal we have repeatedly thrown out a suggestion, which with a due sense of our own very bum Ido pretensions to ha heard where great national interests are concerned, our unafiected and cordial love of 1 peace, in the spi.it of peace,’ nu-.vinclines us to reproduce, viz: that ns most national misunderstandings are best healed by each parly sacrificing something of ils extremes, for the sake of showing will and good neighbor hood, England should frankly oiler to the state of •Maine that largo section of country which has always been an unquestioned and recognized part of New Brunswick—viz: that portion of it which lies west of the town of St. Johns, along llir shore of the Bay of Fundy, mild it meets the present Maine frontier or Passamaquoddy Bay, including the whole of ‘ Charlotte county,’ extending North to what is called it. the maps llte ‘ military post’on the Si. John’s river, and thence along the Southern extremities of the highlands of which “Mars i i ill” forms a part un til it strikes the meridian, close to that old land mark. “'Phis scheme of compromise wo recommended in the Times journal six or eight months ago. It would be better for both parties—lst, for En gland, be? nnsc it would leave in her possession the whole of the disputed territory, and her interpro vincial communication between Frederickton and Quebec unbroken j 2d, and eminently fur the state of Maine, inasmuch as she would gain for it nfino country, to which .die lias never dreamed of putting forth a pretension ; a definite amt protl- j table water frontier on the West, formed by the fit.

Nor, in the case of any man but Lord Palmerston, does it appear that any English minister could throw dillicul ties in the patli of such a proposal. “.llcmember, this is no yielding on our side to compulsion, We declared this opinion more than eight months ago. We did so from an hon est anxiety for national peace and human welfare. There is through this temporary convention ol Messrs. Forsyth and Fox a gleam of light, and and the only one we see, and if well employed, it may conduct us through the labyrinth. But with such inducements to activity, and such materials of compromise, and such repeated warnings to prepare for the worst, what must tiny man, Lord Palmerston, be made of, who would neither ne gociule through the ordinary methods of diploma cy, nor recollect that an armed negotiation is among the moat approved and infallible means of prevailing upon an inattentive adversary to give an ear to reason?” THE Il AXKHIts’ Cl ItCVL AIt. Wo have the London Bankers’ Circular ol March 22nd—llte latest and probably only copy in this country, as it was sent off at 7 o’clock on Iliß evening of that day. Its lending article is n temperate, and, (for that side of the wut t.) very intelligent review of the border dilfaulties be tween Mai no and New Brunswick. The writer understands well the character of the border de mocracy, and of Governor Fairfield, and likewise the motives which prompted his windy action.- Nut the least idea of a war is entertained. We cannot this evening give the entire article, and prefer not to mutilate it. The following article forms a sort of postscript to the leader, and as it relates to the cotton and stock markets, and to the effect of the news from Maine on the latter, we lose not a moment in extracting it; — Ihe grave character of the question of peace or war between England anl the United States which is much discussed in the political circles of London, must for the present week supersede other subjects which we wish to notice because it is one of indescribable importance to the manu facturers, capitalists; and bankers of this country. And as our reflections had led us to n more favo rable conclusion concerning it than most public men and periodical writers worthy of attention had arrived at, wo felt it necessary to state at some length the grounds on which we had formed it. The amount of British capital invested in American stocks is so large, and the confidence of its holders received so severe a shock by the intelligence that the respective border authorities had threatened, and that one of them had actu ally commenced hostile operations, that the minds of all men were directed to the consideration of the issue of this state of things. We have the strongest confidence in its being a favorable one, and think that the awkward incidents which have taken place may well be converted into a means of bringing about a speedy settlement of the dis pute, which h ith parties, wc believe, sincerely and earnestly desire. In the meantime the great amount of business which has recently been transacted in American slocks will be, in a greatmeasure, stopped or sus pended, unt 1 the determination of Congress with relation to the report of the committee on foreign affairs be known, nnd the conduct of the Govern ment of Maine be ascertained. Ask any broker in the slock exchange about those securities, and be will answer, “they are all sellers anU no buyers therefore there are no transactions in them.” Even the stock of the U tiled Slates Bank. which, if we may use the expression, isa descrip tion of security naturalized in this country like the stock of oiu own banks, so many undisturbed family investnu ills have been made in it, has been affected; and sab s have been made in it at prices a fraction or two lower. Now the reports of that bank being extensively engaged in ml ton specu lation never low; rod the v alue of their stock. Those reports weie groundless, ns far ns any im mediate interest beyond liberal banking profits se ntred to the bank was concerned. If they had been well founded to the alleged extent, the bank would have pained a sum exceeding, wc believe, JI.bOO.UUO by those cotton operations. Messrs. Humphreys anil (fiddle, of Liverpool, have not a single bale of their immense stock left unsold, and all that they will in future have for sale will bo from fresh arrivals. So that the areounls, as far rr the old st ck is concerned, may be wound up, and tills will indirectly augment tiie resources and efficiency of the United Slates Tank, and enable it the better to assist the banks of the South, whose comparative weakness now compels them to press i severely on their customers, in order to be ena . bled to maintain their own resumed payments in | cash. On this matter Inst alluded to we must shortly I make some ohseivations, w hen we shall lake the : opportunity of submitting a plan which provides fir a more safe. easy, and regular method of effect ing remittances from the United Mtales 1i Eng i lands because it appears I > us I • merit consider a -1 lion with the view of aiding the manufacturin'- interest of this country. — Uis one patron!: l ■■ ; men who stand desert cub.- high in the estimatem of Iho commercial w erld.

He was desirous to know whether the noble lord had born informed of the course which the American government proposed to take in consequence of this transaction. He also wished to ho informed whether there was any reasonable probability of the negociations which had now I boon carrying on for eight years, tor the settle i ment ot this question ol disputed territory, being brought to a satisfactory termination. Imrd Palmerston stated, in reply, that he had received but very imported information upenthis subject from our minister at Washington. The circumstances to which the honorable gentleman referred were only known generally m that city, their details not having arrived. It was not yet, therefore, in his power to state what course the American government intended to pursue. Ho would be, however, fully justified in slating that the most friendly disposition toward this country prevailed in that quarter.— (Hear.) Sir gt. (tanning—What is the date of the com munication to which the noble lord refers 1 Lord Palme ston replied that ho did not re member the exact date, hut that the communica tion had reached him by a rapid conveyance (the Great Western.) He could not say whether the result of the negociations referred ta by the hon orable gentleman would he satisfactory or not; hut this he could say, that both governments were animated by a most serious desire to obtain such a result.— (Hear.) From tie London Morning Post, March 21. A good deal of anxiety prevails amongst the leading parties connected with the commune of the United States and our North American colo nies, in consequence of the unpleasant accounts respecting the disputed territory. Piople of the first information have to-day openly expressed their opinion that this rupture, for such it is, however the ministerial scribes may gloss the mat ter, is pregnant with incalculable mischief, not only b) our own settlements, but as regards our relatioiVs w ith the United States, the government of which does pot appear to have the power to restrain the hordes of reckless vagrants that infest the border from era of the self-sly led laud ol l.b erty, it is maintained that our government alone arc to lie blamed for the unpleasant political aspects which have for si.me time thicali tied iur supremacy from the other si.lc of the Atlantic; with a crippled navy it is not to he exp. ctcd that the despots ot the world, whether monan hial or republican, would respect British dictation. We copy the following from the Morning Herald, published some days previous to lecciving the intelligence ol the arrangement entered into by the Secretary of State and .Mr. Fox. OK BAT JIUII'AIX AM) THU IVITUII STATES. A war between Great Britain and the United States would appear lo be inevitable. Nothing, at all events, can prevent war, excepting the most ample preparations on the part of this country to guard the national honor from violation, and to maintain, at all hazards, the dominion of England over her North American colonies. It would ho the merest folly on the part of the English government, to shut its eyes to the fact that a war with England, w hen the favorable mo ment shall arrive, is the great object of Mr. Van Burcn and of his party The North American [ republicans hope yet to subject the whole of the vast American continent to their sway; and the presence of native tribes, or of colonists owing allegiance to other countries, they regard a.scqual ily a profanation of the soil. To extinguish the sovereignty of Great Britain in the Canadas is even more necessary to the consolidation of the power of (lie federal union, than is the extinction of the native races to the establishment of demo cratic supremacy in the far West. Throughout the federal union, there is but one feeling as to the necessity, sooner or later, of wrest.ng the Canadas from Great Britain. ISo long as the Canadas acknowledge the sovereignty of England, so long is the federal union liable to disruption—so long, in fact, docs England hold to a great extent, in her hands, the lain oilier form er colon es. But while the desire is universal throughout the United Stales to subvert all traces of English , dominion in North America, the commercial re- I lations which connect the southern states with England have induced in the mote wealthy classes I of traders a feeling of exceeding reluctance to engage in hostilities with this country. This I feeling of reluctance on the part of American com | merrinlisls will, however, avail only to a very li \ tinted extent toward the ptevenlion of war—for I the commercial aristocracy of America is itself ; i regarded as a tyranny, as a vast social nuisance, ' by the ultra-democratic party throughout the federal men. The c m meet of the Canadas would scarcly be • hailed with more joy ly the loco-locos, than ■ would the subversion of the power of the moneyed I classes. The same process, however, bids fair to ‘ attain l oth objects. The Canadas can be added ■ ; to the federal union only by conquest; and a war • with Groat Britain would consign half the mo -1 noyad men in the United Stalls t» bankruptcy. I A successful warwilh Great Britain, therefore, would not i n!y add prodigiously to the solid powi r r of the Unit d States, but would transfer to tbc ultra democratic party the entire management of • public affairs, France. > The elections have resulted unfavoral ly to the .

The timber being small, and j the ground covered with much brush and under- I wood, the fire ran through tho whole tract lying j west oi the rail road, to the Crown Point road, I computing about one hundred acres, in the brief 1 spare of a few hours—less than three—burning i it literally smooth, and cre-Uingso much heat that the lights of glass of the rail road cars, passing through it at the time, became so much heated, it was apprehended they would break. A part of the same track was on fire and cousidcral Iv dam aged last summer, but the efforts then made to check it were effectual. On Tuesday last, how ever. it suddenly reached a height which defied all control, and with resistless sweep laid italiafc reu waste. Ths fire doubtless originated from a apnrk from the locomotive attached to the Wood bury train of cars, and every thing being exces sively dry, it spread with fearful rapidity—the heat being so intense as to prevent those who volunteered to check it, from ipproaching suffi ciently near to work upon it. The loss is consid erable.—N, V. Tines. From the Baltimore American, From the annexed statement it appears that lire p pulation ot the I idled States has increased in number at the rate of thirty-three and athiid per cent, every ten years and that at the time of I the next census, in 1841), the number of inl.abi j lants will amount to sixteen millions. Formerly j in making the estimates, attention was only paid to the number, without reference to the panic u lar races,but, hereafter, under a law ol Congress passed at the last session, much information will , be eo’,feted concerning the wealth, industry, pro j ducts, &c. of the different States, front which ac -1 cuiuteopinions may ho tunned as to their respec tive capabilities. The rapid increase of popula tion is without a parallel, it is believed, in tho history of nations, and will s how at once how idle it is to attempt to draw analogies in pol.tieul economy, where none can fairly exist.
