THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol, IX,——No, 81,-—Whole No, 3204. ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBIA AT BOSTON. Twenty-one Days Later FROM EUROPE. Starvation In England—Another Decline In Cottor=Severe Depression in Trade— Political and Fashionable Intelligence, French Atlantie Steamers—-Theatricals, Religion, Wars, dic. de. The steamship Columbia, which left Liverpool on the 4th, arrived.at Boston on Monday morning, at about9o’clock, making the passage in 15 days and 12 hours. She experienced remarkably fine weather for the season, The Columbia hed nine passengers for Halifax, and forty-nine for Boston. Among those for Bos- ton, are the Right Hon Charles Metcalfe, the new Governor General of Canada, and suite, and Henry Russell, the vocalist. The European Times, of the 4th instant, says: “The continental news, since the sailing of the Great Western, possesses no prominent feature. In Paris, they talk of another ministerial crisis—they are constantly having ministerial crisises in France. ‘The oppositionjare making a great effert for the over- throw of M. Guizot. Considering how much that dis- tinguished man has recently lost caste with his fickle countrymen, it is not improbable the efforts to oust him may succeed, if not on the coming occasion, atno remote day. As regards Spain, Espartero has been obliged to “ knuckle down » to Louis Philippe —by retracting the charges made against the French Consul at Barcelona, for unwarrantable interference during the recent troubles. Spain is busy with her elections, pending which the treaty with England is in abeyance. As to the Portuguese, all hopes of arranging a commercial treaty with them are nearly given up. A slight disturbance at Geneva, which Was seon quelled, has been the only ripple of late on the smooth surface of continental politics.” In the manufacturing districts, trade, which at the beginning of the year, showed symptoms of revival, has receded to i’s forsner state of depression, ifit has not gone beyond it. Thecorn trade partakes of the general gloom—transactions few, prices receding, and a feeling of despondency prevalent. Lord Palmersten’s motion on the Ashburton trea- ty wasfixed to come on on the 16th ult, The next news will, therefore, be very interesting. The cotton trade, like every other trede, par- takes of the existing depression. The price of that staple was never known to be so low as at the pre- sent time, by at least a penny per pound. It is many years since the Liverpool docks pre- sented so deserted and wretched an appearance. They are very bare of shipping. The easterly winds, which have prevailed nearly a month, have prevented the arrival of a large num- ber of vessels from foreign ports. Amongst the ves- sels now due, are eighty-five from America, laden with cotton, the united cargoes of which cannot be much less than 140,000 baies. Money is abundant; rmmense sums of it are lying comparatively idle, and, for anything like good se- curity, it may be obtaimed to any extent, at alow rate of interest. The monthly overland mail from India and China had not arrived when the Columbia left. The English creditors who have advanced: their taoney to the repudiating States in the Union, have addressed-a. strong memorial om the subject to Mr. Everett, the American Minister, in London, with a Tequest that it may be forwarded to the President for presentation to Congress, and to the different State Legislatures. In the House of Commons, Feb. 2, Mr. Blewitt called the attention of the House to the North-east- ern Boundary Question, pending between England and the U. States. He complained of the insulting language used towards England in the American Se- nate. Sir Robert Peel hoped the honorable members’ speech would not be regarded in the same light by the American people. He trusted it would have no effect upon the American funds. The negotiation with the United States was going on in an amicable spirit, and the violent language of a particular Sena tor must not be assumed to represent the feeling of the whole Union. Sir Francis Bond Head, it is said, is to be appoint- ed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. The Queen’s ship Modeste., which left Hong Kong on the 23d Oct. with $1,009,,000 on board, has ar- Tived at Davenport. Captain Ross's expeditioy: to the South Pole, is expected home in May. Only four men have been lostdariug the voyage. Captain Ross has penetrated the Antaretic Circle to 71 44).

Of this sum, £65,000 has been ex- pended in relicving the poor in various parts of the country, and the! remainder, is invested in Exche- quer Bills.) " Mr. Charles Buller has given notice of a motion for March 14, “ To moye resolutions on the necessi- ty of extensive and systematic colonization, with a view of bettering the condition of the people.” ‘The Morning Chronicle reports, on the authority of those who are su; to be well informed, that the income tax will produce a sum nearer seven than six millions. The fashionable “season” in London, if it is to be a season at all, mustbe a very late one, for no le- vees or drawing-rooms can be anticipated until alter the Queen’s accouchement; therefore all the young ladies who are dying to “‘come out” must wait the signal for their debut with the best patience they can mauater.

Tue Great Wesrern Sream Suir Company — The annual meeting of the Great Western Steam- ship Company was held at Bristol on the 2d instant. The proceedings were of asomewhat miscellaneous nature, as will appear from the following outline :— The last year’s receipts arising from the Great io 288705.

The combat is really between the ministerial: ists and the partisans of Count Mole; but the form- er insist that M. Thiers is behind the curtain. The result of the debate, which commenced on the first instant, cannot be known by the packet which suils to-day. The Courier Francais states that there a is person extent of great, it. may be, astounding magnitude; and Sir Charles is the sort of pectin. take it, to foster the new trade, and extend it to the benefit of sound advice and comprehensive experience. In England he stands well with all parties, Liberals and Conservatives, and the hope is, that the ground whieh has been won by hisexcellent predecessor, as far asthe French Population is concerned, will not be lost by him. ‘The Times pasees the follow ing eloquent ‘panegyric on the new Governor:— ‘ Whatever difficuities Canada may throw in the way of its new Governor, there is ne small comfort in the re- flection that the same strength of judgment and prompti tude of decision which attracted the notice ot Lord Wel. lesly—the same vigor of action and courtesy of demea- nor which not only won the esteem, but relieved the em- barrassments of Lord William Bentinck—the same im- partiality, discretion, and good temper, which overcame the most formidable opposition in Jamaica—still remain unenfeebled and powertul to resist the meuaces of li- cense and to smoothe the asperi of faction in Canada. In « word, if Canada is to be preserved, in no hands conld it be more secure than in those of Sir C. Metcalfe; and we are thankful to the present Government for making such an appointment.” The creditors whe have advanced their money to the repudiating States in the Union, have addressed a strong memorial on the subject to Mr. Everett, the American Minister in London, with a request that itmay be forwarded to the President for presenta- tion to Congress, and to the different State Legisla tures. The memorial advances every possible ar- gument for the maintenance of the credit of the States, and shows truly enough the almost irre- trievable injury which American credit has sustained in Europe through the dishooesty of the States which have repudiated. It has received a great number of signatures. The most striking passage relates to the prenighicaed pecuniary circumstances of the ma- jority of the sufferers, which we subjoin Every trae American—every honest and right hearted man —must desire to see so foul a stain wiped from the nounced upon his pretensions as an actor. ‘ A new tragedy, in three acts, called “ A Blot in the ’Seutcheon,” has been produced at Drury Lane. The incidents are few, but of a revolting character. Lord Tresham, a man proud of his high and unepot- ted lineage, discovers that his young sister Mildred, for whose hand he hed just sanctioned a noble suitor, receives a gallant in herchamber nightly. The in- censed brother taxes his sister with her guilt, which she does not deny, and in the presence of their kip- dred he denounces her shame essness. Lord Tres- ham intercepts the midvight visiter, whom he kills ina duel ; notwithstanding he recognises in him the young Earl of Merton, who had got his consent to wed Mildred. The guilty girl dies broken hearted, and her brether poisons himself out of remorse. The acting by Phelps, Anderson, and Miss Faucit, is de- seribed as excellent, but the piece will not retain permanent possession of the stage. A new farce, in which Keeley 18 the hero, enlled “A Thumping Le- zacy,” hae been very successful at the same house. The incidents are yrotesque—the thumping legacy being a legney ef thnmping—the entail of a family feud, of wnich the character personated by Keeley becomes the residuary legatee. Macready produced “ Much Ado about Nothing” with great effect on the 24th for his benefit. Comus was revived on the same occasion with great effect. But notwithstanding the number of Macready’s Shaksperean revivals, he is losing money as mana- ger, and the season, there is reason to fear, will be brought to a premature close. Covent Garden does nottare better. The only theatre in London which 18 paying well, is the Lnglish Opera House, where Van Amburg, Carter, and Messrs June’s company of eques rians, are highly popular The ring is on the stage, and the ouly exceptionable part of ‘he per- formance is the dramatic company of English ac- tors. ‘The French company of the St. James's is draw- Markets.

Oporto has been the scene of serious disturbances resulting from the collection of the decima and other taxes ; which the inhabitants, in the present distreased state of the wine-trade, represent them- selves asunable to pay. The troops were afraid to act, and they were withdrawn. The Governor had promised to forward a memorial of the people’s grievances to the Government at Lisbon. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 2ist ult. Lord Howard de Walden had received instructions from England to break off the negocia- tions for the. tariff convention, the British govern- ment not being disposed to accept, the last Portu- guese proposals, nor to lose further time in the mat- er. The Portuguese seem to have anticipated this result; and, while keeping up high duties to protect their manufactures, they were striving to pacify and bolster up the Douro interests by grants ef public money ; a bill endowing a privileged company with one half the present export duties on port wine had ssed the Chamber of Deputies almost unanimous- ly. This company will have an inceme of 150 con- tos, or about £36,000 a year, which it is to spend among the Douro wine growers, taking 20,000 pipes of their inferior wine at higher prices than they now get, and disposing of them as it best can. Switzerland. The latest Geneva journals state, speaking of dis- turbances there, that the most perfect tranquillity now reigns in that city, and that not the slightest appreheneion is entertained of its being egain nater- rupted. Indeed, it appears by letters from Geneva that the outbreak was merely the contrivance of a few radicals, who had half-bribed, half excited, a portion of the populace to a demonstration in their favor. All the respectable inhabitunts were zewlous in the repression of the turbulent scenes that oceurred and which for the moment occasioned some alarm, bet so complete did the conviction of the instigators ef the riot soon become that they could not hepe for success, that all that was necessary to put an end to the excitement was the promise of oblivion of, what had passed. The foreign families resident in Ge- neva, «ho were preparing to quit, abandoned this intention, when they saw how perfectly the riot had heen quelled, and how little prospect there was of its being renewed. Altogether only two fxmilies have left Geneva in consequence of the recent events. sistence, some even for their daily bread, on the faith of your people.” ? ig The Bank of England has iesued the following notice respecting advances to the public:—The Governor and Company of the Bank of England are ready, until further notice, to receive applications for loaas upon the deposit of approved bills of ex- change, not having more than six months to run, Exchequer bills and East India bonds; such loans to be repaid on or befere the 19th of April next, with interest at the rate of £3 per cent per annum, and to be for sums of not less than £2000 each.

Hertford, agaiast Lord Lowther and the other executors, to compel payment of legacies under the Marquis’s will. The Marquis made nineteen codicils to his will, under eight of which the plaintiff claimed legaci in six ot the codicils he was specially named; in the other codi cils he was classed with the other servants of the Marquis. The question which was before the Court was, whether the legacy of half of the sum of £16,000, given by the last codici! as a provision tor tne servants, was a legacy in addition to the former bequests to the plaintiff, or whether it was in substi- tution of “tye erred legacies, which amounted 600. The Court decided that it was addi- d decreed payment of the whole sum. Trape wits Cura.—The Gazette of the 28th ult, contains an Order in Council, which, after reciting the authority of the Act 3 and 4 William IV., “to regulate the trade to China and India,” makes this declaration :—‘* Now, therefore, her Mayesty in Council is pleased, by and with the advice of her ea Council, to prohibit, and doth hereby prohi- bit, her subjects from resorting, for the purposes of trade and commerce, to any other ports in the do- minions of the Emperor of China than those of Ca - ton, Amoy, Foo-chow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghae, or than may be in the occupation of her Majesty’s forces; and her Majesty is pleased to order, that any of her subjects committing a breach or violation of thisdirestion shall, upon conviction thereof in any ot her Majesty’s Courts of Record or Vice Admiralty, be, for every such offence, liable to a penalty not exceeding £100, or to imprisonment, for a term not exceeding three months, at the discretion of the Tt would seem from this statement that the only things connected with loom manufactures, the export of which inceased in the year 1943, are cotton, linen, . nd weollen yarns, sheep’s wool but littie diminished.

Mrs. Woop, tae Vocatst.—This lady so well known in the United Stures, has occupied mach 1i- tention lately, from the circumstance of her having embraced the Roman Catholic religion, with the in- tention of taking the veil. .\ Yorkshire newspa;er, published i the district where Mrs. Wood and her husband have lived of late years, states that thelady has hada leaning to Catholicism since 1836, when she first visited America with her present husband, arising out of the following circumstances:—In that year she gave her gratuitous services to a religious Catholic society in Boston, and afterwards she had a small testimonial presented to her, singularly and beautitully written ou tinted paper. ‘The following is a copy:—“Madam—This 1s but a slight token of the orphan’s gratitude—butt it is hallowed by the orphan’s prayer. Whatever is happiness on earth, May it be yours—and when earth’s labors are done, may thoge exquisite and thrilling tones which have relieved our wants,be blended with the seraph voices around the throne of God in Heaven.—Written by an Orphan.” This effecting testimonial has preyed upon her miad ever since, and often has she express ed her admiration of the religion and beauty which she there became more directly conversant with ‘To the impression this circumstance made upon her mind,is attributed the change in her religic us views.

A breach having been effected by Nezib’s artillery, coneisting of some heavy guns served by the artillery of the Imperial Guard, which marched from Constantinople last summer, the es sault was commanded, and, atter stout opposition, the Turkish troops penetrated into the body of the place. Here, however, they still encountered a bold hand-to-hand resistance from the Persians, until # last the discipline of the assailants prevailed over the diserderly effrrts of the defenders, and the usual deplorable results of a storm ensued. Nezib Pacha had issued orders, it is said, to his officers, forbid- ding pillage or outrage; but those who are acquaint: ed with the consequences of carrying a place by storm, even when the assailants are composed of troops perfectly disciplined, may picture to them selves the horrors that were committed ey the Turkish battalions, who, in addition to haji disci ine and excessive thirst for plunder, were animated vy, fanatic religious zeal against men whom thes hold to be the deadly enemies of the Soonite faith, and this in the very sanctuary of the Shean creed Order, it is affirmed,was with difficulty reestablished upon the following morning, and the sheiks, imams, and magistrates having made full submission, a por tion of the troops were withdrawn, after occupying all the principal posts, and establishing several pieces of cannon in battery oj the meet fre- bog oa thoroughfares.

But although professionally Le ed in the provinces since that event, where she has realized a handsome fortune, Mrs. Wood has never been able to make good her stand in London. Up to that time she was one of the greatest favorites in the British metropo- lis. The Dublin Evening Post gives the following statement:—To dispose of all scepticism as to the conversion of Mrs. Wood to tae Roman Catholic relfgion, we are enabled to state, through the kind- ness of a Protestant gentleman of this city, a friend of ows, Mr. Robert Brennan, that he, aiter using his utmost enceavors to dissuade Mrs. Wood from the step she was about to take, accompanied that Indy, on Saturday last, from the residence of Mr. Wood to the convent where she now is—that Mr Weod,on their separation,madefor an her ample pro. vision, should she either take the veil or return to live in the world. ‘The separation of Mr. and Mrs. Wood was solely on the ground of the impossibility of her being received into the Catholic church with out resolving on such separation, as that church does not recognize the doctrine of divorce, and Mrs Wood felt there could not be any compromise in matters that regarded eternity. The parting of Mrs. Wood from Mr. Wood and their infant son was wuly affecting, and proved the intensity of their sttachment, the sacrifice they made, and the tri umph of religion over this world. It appears the Jecision of Mrs. Wood was no sudden ebullition On the contrary, she had been for several months in communication with the zealous and truly pions oman Catholie clergyman of Wakefield, the Rev Vir Morris, whom she had selected as her instruc ‘or in the tenets of that church, into which she was publicly received on Sunday, the 6th of February, ia the chapel of Wakefield, where she made her first communion. a and the mother country,while it will that the boon did not come sooner.
