*V. U9 to make any comment on this Report; it speak* for itself, and in a language of warning, not to be misunderstood, to* those who aro strairiing overv ^ norvc, using all their talents, power and inflcnco to fasten on this nation, another and similar, if not more powerful, engino of evil We beg our readers to examine this Report for thorhselves, and then make up their minds if thoy arc willing that this country should bo again cursed with a National Bank. It is nothing more than justice, however, to say that Mr. Biddle, and Mr. Jaudon, brother of the late Cashier, now agont, havo published letters, in vindi ration of thoir transactions; Mr. Biddle for himself, and -Mr. Jaudon for his brother. LATER FROM EUROPE. Tlie arrival of the Steam Ship Columbia, at Boston, brings us dates fifteen days later than those previously received. The political news by this arrival is unimportant. The excitement in relation to the McLeod affair is dying away, and a much more pacific feeling is entertained towards this country.? Groat anxiety is folt for the safety of tho Steam Ship President, wltich had not reachod England when tho Columbia left, though tho Packet Ship Virginia, which sailed three days afler the President, had arrived. The cotton news is rather unfavorable. Tho sales for the week ending the 3d inst. were 18,700 bales ? A letter under date of the 3.1 of April says: ?'\Vo sjuote the prices of all descriptions, 1.8d to l-4d low. cr this week, with a flat and heavy market at the decline." City Tasks. ? It appears from a document reccntly published by the City Council of Boston, that there arc in that city one hundred and thirty five persons who pay upwards of five hundred dollars each for taxes. Among these three aro ton who pay ovor two thousand dollais each, six of whom pay over two thousand five hundred, and that the taxes of Jons Pahker, Esq , arc seven thousand and eleven dollars; those of Petcr C. Brooks nre five thousand and twenty six dollars. Wo should delight in paying these taxes ourselves, heavy as they arc. The Magnolia.?This delightful publication is rapidly regaining the time it has lost. Tho April numbor is before us at a much earlier period than we anticipated. This en orgy on the part of its talented editors augurs well for tho success of tho enterprise, which we trust is now placed on a firm and enduring foundation. The present number is fully equal to any of its predecessors, in the richness and variety of its contents, all of which are entirely original, We have not leruro to notice the articles in detail, and it would bo invidious to select when all are so good. Our readers may form some conception of its merit, when wo mention the fact, that among the contributors to this number arc the names of Wh.dk, Charlton, Simms and Patte.v, with several others, The Baltimore Patriot of Saturday says:?We are glad to learn, bv tlie Cincinnaii papers received this morning, that the injury to the mansion house at North Bend, as reported yesterday, was greatly exaggerated. The Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday says: "Great uneasiness was caused in this city yesterday morning, by ft report that General Harrison's dwelling house, nl Nor?h Bend, had been destroyed by lire the previous afternoon. Direct information, however, arrived before noon, and quieted all apprehension. The building was on tire, but only the upper story of the west wing sustained any material damage. The roof and this were destroyed, but without, we understand, the loss of any furniture, or seriously inconveniencing the afflicted family." ? From the Charleston Mercury Mr. Preston's Letter in reply to the Edisto Meeting. Columbia, April 14, 1841. Sir, I have had the honor to receive your note inclosing the proceedings of a meeting of "the inhabitant* of St. John's Colletion." The portion of the proceedings which purports to be founded on a rumour roncerning my sentiments and position in the Senate of the United Siates, concludes with a categorical question, whether I intend to vote for a charter of o United States Hank. The reinstitution of a United States Bank presents a very complex question, both of principle and detail, und must, in my judgement, depend upon a careful consideration of a vast variety of circumstances, existing at the moment it is proposed. Its very constitutionality must depend upon the actual condition of the Country ? and were ever, that conceded, the organization presents so many important diJlicnhies, that it would he unsafe t'ci venture on any conclusion, until a definite and complete project he piesonted The amount of capital?the mode ol obtaining that capital ? the place where the hank is l?? l><* established?its management and eontroul ? and above all,'the financial emergencies of the country a the moment when it is proposed?eacl and all of them exact a grave and cautiou; deliberation. -I < T In advance, tnereiore, i can answei the intvrrngatoy propounded, only by an nouncing the general principle on which ] stand?and this 1 beg" leave to do in th< language of our late lamented President and of the acting President, as c.ontainei in an answer of the latter to a similar ques tion put to him during the late Prcsiden tial canvass. 'In reply to the first branch of your en quiry," (said Mr. Tyler.) "I qnote an adopt the language of Gen. Harrison, i his speech delivered at Dayton. There i not in the Constitution, any express gran of power for such purpose, and it coul never be constitutional to exercese tha power, save in the event the powers grar ted to Congress could not be carried int effect without resorting to such an institu lion, The Constitution confers on Con _ . .1 . ifgrcss terms, 'all powers which are neces- e i sary and proper to carry into effect the granted powers.' Now if "the powers j'1 granted" could not be Carried ink) efTect , without incorporating a bank, it becomes ^ "necessary and proper," and of course expedient?a conclusion which I presume h< no one would deny who desired to see the existence of the government preserved, ,n and kept beneficially in operation." ?( I have only to add that the creative 'u necessity should be palpable aud over* ruling. - y I have the honour to be, Most respectfully, your ob't serv't. ^ WM.

A correspondent of * the Baltimore Patriot speaking of the Son of the Secretary of Stnte, who bore the tidings of the decease of Gen. Harrison 00 to Mr. Tyler, uses the following very apposite language:? i "Mr. Webster, Jr, discharged his.duty as special messenger to Mr. Tyler, wiili 1 such expedition as ought to commend him. to the particular notice of the War Dc- ? partment, as a ft agent for expediting ' the termination of the Florida War!"-? at Scene the Everglades of Florida.
