FOUR DAYS LATER
FROM AMERICA.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SIX O'CLOCK.
We have another arrival this morning from the United
States. Cunard's steam ship
Columbia, Captain Judkins,
reached the River, bringing New York Papers of the
30th, Boston of the Ist, and Halifax of the 3d. She
sailed from Halifax at 8 P.M. on the 3d. She brings 110
passengers. By this arrival, we learn that Mr. Clay's
Fiscal Bank Bill is making its way very rapidly through
Congress.
Every possible guard (says one of the Papers) is
thrown round it likely to prevent abuses. The number
of shares are limited to 2,500. No loan is allowed to be
made on the pledge of any public debt. No loan is al-
lowed to be made to Government over one million of
dollars, and to no State over $lOO,OOO, unless under the
express sanction of law. The smallest note allowed to
be issued by the Bank is $lO, though an effort was made
by Mr. Huntington to reduce it to five, but the majority
of the body voted it down-21 for and 26 against it.
In the House of Representatives a Bill had been re-
ported to appropriate the, proceeds of the public lands.
On these measures the Nog York Herald says :—" It is
now generally understood that Congress will adjourn in a
month or six weeks—after having established a bank of
$30,000.000—created a national debt of $12,000,000—
and divided among the States about $3,000,000 per an-
num, the proceeds of the public lands.
" These measures will create a great deal of confusion—
and perhaps produce a commercial revulsion throughout
the country. Of late, the country has been working out
its -own salvation, but the new financial system unsettles
every thing. It begins a war among the banks and po-
liticians, that will last twenty years."
The discussion on Mr. Floyd's resolution concerning
M'Leod, was going on in the House of Representatives,
without any probabilty of an immediate conclusion.
General Harrison's remains had been removed from
Washington.
Major-General Macomb, Commander-in-Chief, died
suddenly on Friday, June 25th, at Washington, from a
fit of apoplexy. He was born in Michigan on the 3d
of April, 1782, and was consequently in the 60th year
of his age. He was in his usual health up to the day
preceding his death. On Wednesday last he called
on Fenderich, the artist, to purchase one of his ex-
cellent likenesses of President Tyler. The artist in-
quired why the General had never sat for his por-
trait. He replied, " Suppose you take me now ?"
General Macomb acceded to the proposition, and the
artist had a sitting immediately. On Thursday he had
another, and on Friday the General was a corpse. Both
Houses of Congress, the President, and all the great
officers of State attended the funeral of the General.
