Arrival of the Acadia. Foreign News—Fifteen Hays Later from England—No News of the. President— Lose of the Philadelphia Packet'iFUliam Brown. The steamship Acadia, Capt. Miller, ar rived at Boston on Wednesday morning, at about one o’clock, having left Liverpool at eleven o’clock,. A. M. on the 19th of May, and Halifax at one o'clock; P, M. on the 31st, making the passage from Liveiyool to Boston in thirteen days and a half. She brought out from Liverpool .sixty-five pas sengers, nineteen of whom were left at Hal ifax,.and took in eighteen more for Boston. The Ncwiby this arrival is not of great importance.' Trade remains about the same, .and the cotton market has’ hardly been im proved a shade. The political news pos sesses some interest. < The steamer President has not been heard of, and hardly a doubt exists that this ill fated vessel, with dll on board, is lost. Ma ■ ny rumors were in circulation in England of wrecks having been seen, and men in boats on the ocean picked up, etc., but there were none of a character to which any cred it could be attached. The Great Western arrived at Bristol on the evening of the 14th of May, thus per forming the passage in less than thirteen days and ahalf. The Columbia, Capt. Jud kins, which sailed on the Ist of May, arri ved at Liverpool on the 15th ult., in a pas sage of fourteen days and a half, having been detained a day at Halifax. Corn Laws.—The subject of the Corn Laws was in agitation, and a vast number of petitions had: been presented to Parlia ment. But no question had been taken, or wouldbe until the 31st of May. The feeling’ in England and Scotland is exceedingly strong on this subject,, and .it is evident that a repeal or some important modification of theexisting laws must take place. The news from India docs nut appear to be of a very tranquil character. Scinde and Afghanistan are in a very unsettled state. Lahore is still the.seat of riot and bloodshed. A rebcllious spirit is also manifested among sctaral.of the jiatiyc.tribes.. .. Emigration still runs strongly towards the United States. In the absence of goods, the ships are filled with steerage passengers. Bu3ciua,-..whicJvj^^^ Fatal Collision.—On the evening of the ...liiuth.of Rfay, about len o.’Nnc.k,-the..ship ' Biboklyn; Capt.

She'was found to be a North" American built vessel, from four to five hundred tuns, lying on the starboard side, burnt down to the water’s edge; the lower deck-beams double-kneed, apparently nctv. ’Nothing could be seen to distinguish what she had been or what had been her cargo. China. —The over land mail had arrived on the 6th, bringing dates to the 12th of February from Canton.to the Ist of April from Bombay; The news is not of a favor able description. An unexpected delay has taken place in carrying into effect the pre liminary.arrangements concluded between her Majesty’s Plenipotentiary and the Chi nese Imperial Commissioner; the blockade is not raised and trade continues suspended. This news had caused a rise in the price of teas. c Thomas Barnes, for many years well known as (he principal editor of the London Times, died during the second week, in May. 'Trance.—Nothing very New. —Ex-Queen Christina has arrived at Paris. She has been forbidden by the French Government to take part in any political intrigue during her stay, or. in. any ; way .whatever to. give umbrage to the Spanish Government. While stopping at Macon, Queen Christina nar rowly escaped being burnt to death. , The cut tains of her bed took fire, and she was only saved by the promptitude of her do mestics. .. .

Farmer Simple lived on a mountain which afforded excellent pasturage fur cattle, and in the same vallicS he cut an abundance of grass to feed them during the winter. The soil was hard to-till, and he could nut raise grain without great labor. Farmer Grub lived on rich bottom land, peculiarly adapted to the production of corn. Be could raise on an acre twice ns much as his neighbor Simple, and with less labor. The neighbors lived for years in great comfort and harmony, Simple exchanging his cattle for Grub’s corn, and both were getting rich. One day fartner Simple said to his bnvs, (and he had four of them,) VI have been thinking it would be better for us, to (nake our own corn and save the ca'ttle we now give for it. We shall then have a plenty of work.and be more independent.” "Father,” said John,-I think we should have harder work and get less for it. “How so,” said Simple. “A good cow is worth 824 and corn is worth 80 cents, a bushel. For one cow we can get SO bushels of.corn, and we can raise two cows with the labor it will take to raise SO bushels of corn on ourJ.iard land.

We have become accustomed s to look upon them ns the life blood of-trade, and to think, that without tlipm. it must die. We have been mistaken in thus constantly putting the cause fur the effect. iCII the banks that ever existed have been sustained by trade dependent upon them for support. It has sought them as matters-of-conven ience, but nut as a source.of life. It would have gone oh and prospered well, if not bet* ter, Without than with them/. The conven ience necessary for its pueposes would have grown up in some other form, and .jf left to by government, ityould have found efficient 'and;more faithful and irresponsible been imposed upon it by interested ami sei .lish legislators. Let us not suppose then that the failure of a few rotten banks, the - , .broken reeds on which we have leaned—or the discredit ;of their false promises', can • - prostrate trade.. No; let every one of our nine hundfeiLbahks, and alLthe moonshine capital upon which one half of th'ein are founded, he swept from existence to-morrow, and it would not prostrate the trade of the country. Though it would causemuch tem porary inconvenience, yet trade would still go on, and would find for itself, and in it self, all the means necessary to secure its prosperity. Therefore to the question ‘what of the night,’ we answer from our watch tower that although darkness continues, there are many favorable indications of the approaching morning. Oidy one threatening cloud ap pears in the distance, from which Heaven preserve us. It 'contains the germ of nei ther national bank—a third incubus to draw its sustenance from the life-blood of the land, and then, like its predecessors, to scatter ruin in its path. Let . trade be unmolested by this monster or any of its blood-sucking brood—let actual capitalists become (im practical bankers—let those who find that they are not wanted in the business of ex changing the products of labor, nr in other necessary callings, engage in the business of production—leave industry and trade free, and unshackled—compel all individuals and all institutions honestly to perform their en gagements or suffer the penalties of violated law—and depend upon it the night will soon vanish; a brilliant morning and .a glorious day will succeed.—A 7 . 1-.
