Cunard’s steamships must come here. The Foreign News. The intelligence given in this day’s paper, brought by the Columbia to Boston last Thursday, is deeply interesting, in several points of view. A full account willbe found in another column. The heart-rending conflagration of Hamburg is accompanied by a plan of the burnt district, which will give a correct idea to the reader of the extent of this most awful de- struction. The ravages committed by this fire far exceed anything that has taken plave in modern times. The loss by the conflagration of New-York in 1835 was estimated at $20,000,000—that of Hamburg at three times as much, $60,000,000. Collections and sub- scriptions were made over all Europe for the suffer- ers; and last night a numerous and enthusiastic meeting was held in this city at Delmonico’s, and a large amount subscribed for. This is generous. The intelligence from Paris is also heart-rending. Such a railroad accident far exceeds anything that ever took place in this country. The railroads in France are generally very badly conducted. What a singular medley of news we have in one day. The conflagration of Hamburg—the railroad destruction in Paris—and the grand bal masgué of Queen Victoria—death, destruction, and dancing, allin one breath. Such are the chequered scenes of human life! Go to church to-morrow and pray. Tue Artantic Sreamers.—NEcEssITy eF some Cuance x ruein Tacrics.—The Columbia steamer brought very few passengers to Boston—not enough to pay for the coals, ‘These beautiful steamers are losing all their pas- sengers—and why 2? Because they do not run be- tween the proper central points of travel. The New York packets, including also the Great West- ern and British Queen, will certainly run these Bos- ton steamers off the ocean, unless they change their point of arrival on this side. New York is the port they ought to come {to—not by any means Boston, which is a mere out port or outpost. New York is the great centre of all travel and all mind—and all thought, and all business. It is the Paris, the Lon- don, and the Liverpool of this continent. The Cu- nard line cannot prosper unless they come to New York. Will Mr. Cunard take this matter into his most serious consideration ?

Proceedings In Congress and other Matters, A joint resolution was reported in the Senate this morning, ceding the interest of the United States in nd Ohio Canal to the State of Maryland and the cities of Washington, George town, and Alexandria, on certain conditions. The cost of this stock to the Government was two mil- lions andahalf. There was a subscription originally of one milkion—subsequently the goverameui paid a million for the city of Washi of a million for each of the and Alexandria, and took that amount of stock. Now these cities and Maryland ask Congress to re- linguish the proprietory interest of the Government in their behalf. The subject was before Congress at a previous session, but the resolution did not pass. The stock is of very little value now, how- ever, and yields nothing to the Government. Under these circumstances, and with the probability that if the grant is made, the canal will be completed, aad eventually become valuable, perhaps Congress may grant the application. The other bill forthe relief of Barclay & Living- ston, was passed. The remainder of the morning business was of no public interest. The apportion- ment bill was taken up, and Mr. Crittenden is in the midst ef a speech in favor of the districting proposi- tion. Ithad been determined to sit the bill out yester- day, but this provision involves principles and conse- quences so important,that the discussion is necessari- ly protracted. That the letter of the constitution con- fers upon Congress the power of regulating the mode of choosing members, seems to be generally admit- ted, but that power has never been exercised, and it may well be questioned whether, at this late day, it is expedient for the national legislature to assume it. Why attempt to control the State legislatures in the matter? No evil has everyet been experienced from entrusting it to the States, and it can hardly be wise to change a system that has always worked well. Gen.

We never saw a meeting where they understood so well what real business meant. They had but two officers, Mr. Schmidt, the Consul, Chairman, and Mr. Faber, Secretary. They talked but very little, and that little was said in German, They passed a resolution appointing a Committee to collect subscriptions. There was some differ- ence of opinion asto the number. Some proposed nine, some eleven, some thirteen, and one very handsome man in white pants, said that a commit- tee of fifteen would look better than a committee of thirteen. The Chairman at last put the question, Shall the committee consist of twenty-one ? About a dozen cried out “ Yaw.” About six cried out “©No.” One dapper little man asked if John Jacob Astor was not Deutch? The Secretary replied, *©Yaw, John Jacob Astor’s Deutch.” It was pro- posed to put him on the Committee, but this was not done. The following are named for the Committee :— Theod. Victor, F. 8. Schlesinger, J.D, Kleudgen, Fred. Schuchardt, Theod. Des Arts, C. H. F. Moring, E. Burckle, Dr. Henschel, C. G. Gimther, O. F. Gleim, Gustavus Oppenheim, J. F. A. Bachau, L. H. Meyer, Ferd Karck, Geo. Christ, Alex. Soltan, C.H. Sand, Gustavus A. Meyer, C. L. Motz, Dr. Weissmann, Dr. Geshadt. There was some little trouble in getting the names on the Committee—a great number had a little to say—a very little—and two or three would be talk- ing at once; butall in good humor and harmony and so the meeting broke up. It was one of the most quiet, orderly, and respectable meetings we ever saw in this city or elsewhere. And every man present seemed desirous not to promote his own views, but merely such measures as would secure the object they have in view—the relief of the suf- ferers at Hamburgh. The committee is one of the most respectable and unexceptionable that could have been selected.

It was pretty numerous- ly attended, and, among others, by have publicly renounced all forcible attempts to enforce the spurious government. The fellow calling D’Wolf, who was in the intrenchment on the night of the 18th, was there ; several from this city, Massachusetts and Connecticut, were also there. Our correspondent, informs us that he is satisfied that some serious movement is intend- ed, but how many are in the secret, or what is the extent of their places, is not known. They have so far changed their mode of operation as to conduct every thing with the utmost secrecy, and the men w; whom they immediate- y rely for the execution of their designs are as much in t ral of those who himself e dark asthe public. A lot of land had been hired for an encampment in Smithfield, about a mile from Woonsocket, at a place called the Daily Hole, near the Friends’ Meeting House. The place was to be forfeited. About thirty or forty armed men were there last Wednesd: ments were made for a supply of food fo ber ofmen. Their officers were drilled on Wednesday. and arrange. that num- It is understood that since these arrangements were made, the place of the encampment has been changed to Chepachet, or another encampment is to be held there There are rumors that arms have passed through the city for the use of the insurgents, but we can trace them to no ible source. ‘hat the government will suppress this hostile demon- stration the moment that it assumes a tangible shape, and that it will visit with just and severe punishment those who are getting it up, is a matter of course; to doubt it weuld be to suspect the men at the head of affairs of both ignorance and imbecility, neither of which have they manifested in any part of their conduct.

The question of whether a man has aright to marry his leceased wife's sister, has been unger discussion for the vast two days before the Presbyterian General Assembly, before a large auditory, a proportion of which were la- ties. The facts on which this cnse rests before the As. sembly are briefly these : Archibald rig was pastor of the Lemon Hill church, attached to Presby of Fayetteville, North Garolina, and cn the 28d of “0 do 1840, he took as his wife, Mary McCloud, the sister of the teceased wife. ‘The Preity tery of Fayetteville, conceiv- ing this to be contrary to the [aw of God, cited Mr. Me- Queen before them, and after an argument, the facts being almitted, they decided that the act was incest, and pro- ceeded to depose the accused from the eee, both, as they allege, in their judgment, for: reforma- tion of the offender, and in order to purgethe church from sucha scandal. From this judgment Mr. MeQueen ap- pealed to this General Assembly. The appellant in the case was heard by the Rev. Dr. Krebs, who made a most able as well as peesiee speech, running through part of two davs. The wing are the points which he laid down as the base of his argument on the first day. He said, Ist: We have a right to r the question not solely with reference to the con! yn of faith, but with reference to the enactments of the Bi- ble. 2d: We must not let the opinions of early reformers nor the opinions and eee of good Christians, nor the arguments nae ile what may be sup) to bethe done “Belicy. a any influence upon the court in the On the second da: i tnefour lowing 'y ieeumeat was aimed to illustrate irst—The judgment of the Presbytery is foundedon a dubious and uncertain statute, to wit a clanse in the Con- fession of Faith which says that “aman may not marry “ of bis.

The Moderator then announced that any member of the inferior Judicature might now explain the grounds of the decision, upon which the Rev. Dr. Mclver, of the Presbytery appealed from, arose and spoke to the question. Hecommenced by paying an eloquent tribute to the virtues of the appellant, but he denounced the act for which he had been condemned as incest, and painted in glowing colors the enormities which, in his opinion, must ensue, It the act be not rebuked. He relied chiefly upon the article in the Confession of Faith, before alluded to, which, he contended, was supported by necessary impli- cation from the language of the io ovat a sanctioned by the uniform practice of the church, After he had concluded, the roll was called for the members to make such remarks os to them should seem oper.

Mr. Wash- burn has broken his first and second engagement with me, and after all this, he was paid from our treasury over forty dollars.
