A RRIV AL
OF THE
STEAMSHIP BRITANNIA AT BOSTON
ONE WEEK LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE.
THE STEAMSHIP HERMAN.

The city was thrown into state of great COM
motion yesterday morning. by the announcement
that the steamship Britannia had arrived at Boston,
with one weeks later intelligence from Europe.
The telegraph reported that the Britannia was
coming up the harbor of Boston at half past II
O'Clock in the morning that after that hour, in
sequence of the electricity in the atmosphere, or
something else, the wires refused to operate, ex-
cept in incomprehensible flashes from Bridgeport,
Hartford New Haven, Springfield, and from
heaven, until half past 8 o'clock in the afternoon,
when il was ascertaned that the steamer reached
the city about o'clock.
After that time, the lightning from heaven took
entire control of the wires and the thunder
storms of the afternoon could be traced all along
the line of telegraph in flashes, that wrote in words
unknown to any human being. To the hour of
going to press, no news reached u.s.
The probability is, that our parcels will reach us
early this morning by special messenger or 60
vernment EXPRESS the latter was understood to have
been arranged to bring the steamers mails. 1t is
supposed have left Boston about four o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
An Extra Herald, with the news will be pub
lshed in hour after il is received at this office.

moment

GENERAL TAYLoR-THE SECRET OF THE RECENT
DECLINE OF HIS Cause.-The victory which the de-
mocrats have just obtained in the State elections
in New Hampshire and Virginia, and also in st.
Louis in the election of the municipal officers of
that city, is rendered both signal and remarkable
by the extraordinary efforts made by the party op.
posed TO them, who fought under the name and
banner Of General Taylor.
These events deserve, perhaps more attention
than would otherwise be due to a mere municipal
election, from the fact that it has tended more fully
to dcveope the causes of the sudden fall and de-
clenson of the cause Of General Taylor, at first so
promising and fourishing. The whole secret of the
transition OF the people from the highest enthusiasm
for the hero OF Buena Vista, TO a state of apathy
and unconcem, is TO be found in this, that the sna.
tves," party looked upon with suspicion and alb.
honence by every patriot American throughout the
Union, have, everywhere, upon every Taylor move.
ment, fastened themselves upon the skirts of the
General and thus have dragged him down with
themselves into the pit of political perdition. They
were the chaln-drag upon the wheels which
clogged the movements Of the Taylor cause at St.
Louis, and inflicted defeat upon it, The barnburn-
ers will put Taylor on his legs again.

The BANKING SYSTEM IMPROVED by THE FRENCH
REvoLyTIoN.-This great revolution seems destin-
ed to exercise great influence upon industrial
and commercial affairs upon the mere political
condition of the people of France and Europe in
general In the United States men have long and
Justly complained of the unfair and unequal ope-
ration of the bank discounting system. BY that
perncious system wealthy Spectator is enabled
to take up large on loan in order to carry on
injurious speculations and operations on a large
scale destructive to the great mass of men engaged
in trade but productive TO HIMSELF while at the same
time the less wealthy and industrious man is I'M
able to obtain the smallest loan to carry on USE
full and productive business, giving employment to
many persons.
Against this evil the provisional government OF
France, with that energy, justice and prudence
which have marked all their acts hitherto, IN the
most surprising manner, have taken the following
measures. They have ordered the establishment
Of guaranty bank in every place where there is
bank Of discount The business of this bank is
TO procure for small traders and agriculturists the
necessary endorsements, by which they may OBJ
tain accommodation at the banks, as well as the
great dealers, who have many to back them, and
who back one another. Any one who has goods,
securities, warrants, &c, or any kind of property
may, on the security OF this property, receive
dorsements from the guaranty bank, so as TO
enable him to get his bill discounted.
This is one step made in the march Of improve
ment and will, no doubt, soon be followed by
as these things become better understood. This
example of liberal France will, we doubt not soon
be followed in liberal America. The voice Of the
people will demand il, and will have it.

JOHN DONKEY LITERATURE.-We give in our
columns to-day, a number of extracts from the
Sunday newspapers, including, also, John Donkey,
and embracing specimens of wit, fun amusement,
drolery, Stiffness, and all of things, put to-
gether, which may be considered true sample of
the John Donkey literature of this metropolis There
are five or six journals of this description issued in
New York, circulating, on the first day of the
week, between twenty and thirty thousand news
papers. They do not pretend to be anything but
gossiping and amusing sorts of journals and some
times they are that, in very interesting degree.
The extracts which we give to-day, present fair
specimens of this species of wit.
PorE Prus TIE NNTH-The present Pontif of
Rome is truly an extraordinary man. When the
twelve thousand men were about to march to the
succor of Lombardy, he was asked for his bene-
diction, which he gave as follows-
.As Head of the Church, | am at peace with all
the universe. As an Italian Prince have right to
defend Italy, my country. bless you. The cause
you go to defend is holy cause God will make it
triumph. bless you once more. Fight and conquer
in the name Of the Lord
We question if there is any man living who could
comprise so much meaning within so few words.
This remarkable speech deserves to be printed in
letters of gold and pictures of silver, and hung up
in the Pontifical residence, as guide for the
future successors of st. Peter.

INsAIuBRITY OF WAsurN0ToN-There must be
something radically wrong about the climate Of
Washington. During the present session, twelve
or fourteen members Of Congress have died. This
alarmn g fatality calls for investigation The number
Of legislators that meet in Washington every winter
only about double those who congrcgate In this city,
and yet the number of deaths occurring among the for

been single death among State legislators howe

The N. Y. Tribune.

The Editor of the Tribune, Mr.. GREELEY,
continues quite undecided in reference 10 the
course he will pursue in the existing political
conte st. 1t is but inst to say, however, that
thus far, since the nomination, so unacceptable
to him (and to other Clay-Whigs we could
nau,e) of Gen. TAYLOR, the Tribune has dealt
with its scruples and its readers with perfect
fairness and honor; and whatever result it may
arrive at in the premises, it affords us as much
pleasure to say as to believe that we shall never
question either the honesty and sincerity OF its
convictions or the integrity of its motives. Mr.
GREELEY is not Wing who can be easily
drawn from the party in whose behalf he has
so long and SO ably contended and with whose
success he believes the triumph of so many a nd
SO important principles is identified That he
can be driven or prorohed into any line of polit
ical conduct that rill render the defeat Of Lew-
is Cass, and the anti-rcpubican, anti-democrat
ic, and anti.christian policy aud measures of
which he is tie advocate and promoter, any less
certain thar it now is, we have no fears. We
look upon him as a Wing not from policy or ex-
pediency, except so far as it is polite and eX-
pedient to love justice and do right. That the
tribune will come up to the support of the
Wing Ticket-of TAYLOR and FuLMoRE,-we
have never yet doubted, nor do we now. We
shall certainly be sorry to find ourselves mista-
ken, and should part company" with that pa
per, in our advocacy of Wing Candidates and
Wing Principles with feeling of regret that
would be strengthened by our knowledge of the
ability, and our confidence in the honesty, with
which it is conducted.
