In announcing his name for that Office, the

The mail to-day brought papers from New York of the 9th inst. They contain nothing of interest.
 Congress having adjourned to the 7th, we have mo- thing of importance from Washington.
 We are indebted to the Herald for an extra of the 9th, containing the result of examnation held by the British Consul at New Ysrk in relation to the steamship President. During the examination ii was proved that that vessel in the best possible dtion for the sea- and that the reports of her being ''hogged" were false. Capt. Cole, of the ship Or pheus, stated to the meeting that when he last saw the President she rising the top of tremen- dous sea- pitching heavily and laboring tremendious- ly She was then situated in that dangerous part of the Atlantic Ocean, about midway between the Nan tucket Shsal and the St. Georges Shoal just where the Gulf Stream strikes soundings, and where the waves rise almost straight up and down and as high four or five story house. That the President then must have been shipping seas heavily and fast; that probably these large bodies of water worked through into the engine room, or fire room, and srn g,shed Ae fires, in which the steamer would have been comparatively helpless; that the storm was terrific all that night; that morning the wind shifted suddenly from N E. to S. E., knocking up a still more tremendous sea, and that the gale continued with unabated fury till midnight of the 18th. And that is his belief that the President did not survive that gale, but foundered with all board, and that all pcrished before sundown on the 18th, or in less than twenty-four hours after he last saw her; and most probably in the terrific night of the I2th of Mar
 In this opinion other nautical gentlemen, seemed to coincide.

 ish Goyernment, in cause depending aetween one of its subjects and sovereign State of the Union.- We like not the position of this affair. The Govern ment of the Federal Union has no right take sides against State in any controversy with Foreign Power, even if the State be clearly in the wrong- the General Government is responsible for the Of State, if on account of the peculiar com plexty of our nstitutions-the General Government has not the power to compel that State to make amends--therefore, when Mr. Fox tells Mir. Webster that her Majesty's Government cannot recognize New York in the pending negotiation, the answer should have been-"our constitution IS written, and the General Government of the United States is of New York, which she has right to do under the Constitution of the United States offensive the British Government, the Government of the Union is responsible"
 This precisely the situation of the Mcleod affair. The Government of New York fully concides with the views of the late administration; they are deter mined to the extent of the law to hold Mcleod per- sonally amenable for violation ofis territory The General Government has no right to interfere directly, by It's own admission, yet it does interfere indirectly, and, under strong symptoms of menace, appears as the attorney of England the Courts ofN York, in an endeavor, first to procure McLeod's &C., quitta, and that iang to carry up the cause to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the Pre- sident can finish the argument by nolte prostgu. We copy the concluding remarks of the New York Post, on Mir. Webster's letter.
 Mir. Webster's letter is characteristic. It argues the matter at great length, and concludes with pro- posing more-argumeat. It holds out nothing deci- sive to the British government. It asks how this thing can be justified, and how that thing happened, but does not even squnt at future acton In what attitude this places the United States? Her soil has been invaded at midnight the property of her eiti- zens plundered, those citizens themselves brutally murdered, and when the atrocity is confessed by a foreign power, her ministers say 'Come, let US ar- que the pointl" It is time that bolder position were taken it is time, that the perpexing negota- tionwhch has been protracted through several years assumed more defnitive form, and one more likely to be brought to an end.'

To Farmers aud Piaatrs.--Did you ever reflect, that country must pay in the products of its own labor, for every thing it buys from another counryi Do you not perceive that it is your grain and cotton and ether products sold abroad which pay for every gallon of French wines brought into this country
 Did you ever reflect inasmuch other nations, all so, have means of purchasing out the products of their own industry, U De buy naiag ef them they bxy nefhing ofw?
 Did you not perceive, therefore, that a duty on French wines, which, by increasing the price, will diminish the quantity consumed, and of course the quantity bought in France, will impair, the extent of that dimnution, fhe foreign market aifogetherl
 Ought not proposition to increase the duty on French wines to be considered and called proposi- tion impair or destroy the foreign market for the grain, cotton and other products of American farmers and pantersi
