The steamship Columbia. Capt Charles
| H. E. Judkins, arrived at Boston, at O'Clock
on Monday evening, having left Liverpool on
the 4th ult. at 10 o'clock and performed the
passage in fifteen days and eight hours.
The Columbia came up the harbor with the
American flag a. half mast-the captain having
been informed by a pilot of the death of the
President

breaking her larboard wheel-hOuse
There was no news of much consequence
The President, steamship from New York
had not arrived at Liverpool on the Sd, having
then been out "a days. The Orphens, packet
ship, which sailed in company with her, reached
Liverpool on the lst ult
There was no material change in the cotton
market
There had been no later arrival from China,
and of course we have nothing so late as that
brought by the late arrival at n. York
There was much less excitement in Great
Britain respecting the relations between that
country and the U. S.

The supplement of the Liverpool Journal of
April Sd contains the following paragraph on
this subject:
UNITED STATEs--The Times states that
government received dispatches from Mr.. Fox
by the Britannia steamer, and that these de-
spatches leave no doubt of an amicable and i'm
mediate settlement between the United States
and Great Britain; as far as regards the ques-
iion of Mcleod. Mr.. Fox had received COM
munication TO that effect from the American
government, couched in the most conciliatory
language. We think (adds the Times,) that
the public mind may be at rest on this point
"The uneasy feeling existing relative to our
relations with the United States has been a
good deal diminished by the arrival of the Bri-
tannia. No idea of the possibility of war seems
to be entertained in America, nor are there the
smallest signs of any preparations 20 meet it.
1t is admitted that the States are defenceless,
and there is every appearance that Mr.. Fox is
conducting this very delicate mission in such |
way as TO obtain satisfaction, not by injurious
threats, but by friendly and respectfuI negotia-
ton.
The British press has evidently cooled down |
in its tone towards the United States. The |
only pugnacious article of consequence is the
following from the Liverpool Mail:
We understand that government have re-
ceived dispatches from Mr. Fox, the British
Minister resident at Washington, intimating
hat his demand for the release of Mr. Mcleod |
has been received in a most conciatory spirit |
BY the new President of the American cabinet,
and that the strongest assurances have been
given him that the unfortunate and much in
ured gentleman will be safely restored to his
friends, and ample compensation made him for
he insult he has sustained and the sufferings
ne has endured.
All this is satisfactory enough, as far as Mr.. |
Mcleod is concerned; but what reparation is
o be made to England for the past, and what
Indemnity given for the future, in matter deep
y affecting the honor of the country and the
avs Of civilized nations! We cannot see how
he release of Mr. Mcleod alters the complex
lature OF the question at issue. If the State of
New York is permitted to claim the right of
rrestlng, lmprlsoning, and irving for life, eVe-
y Canadian sUhjec, of her MAJESTY who, in
he discharge of his duty, may fire musket at
n American citizen acting practically, or as
listing pirates on the lines, no mans life or lib
rty would be safe for moment upon the dis
lrbed frontier. After all, we are only at the
eginning of his business.
