Nat. hit. Internal Improvement. An other bill, embracing an impor tant principle connected With the power of Congress to appro priate money for the purposes of internal improvement, was vesterday passed to its third reading, in the House of Repre sentatives by a large majority. It proposes to appropriate mo ney for experiments towards fa cilitating the navigation of the Rivers of the West an object of great interest to the Western country, whose wishes and feel ings the House has thus evinced a decided disposition to consult and propitiate.

JacRson, in his letter to Mr. Monroe, says: "Every thing depends on the selection of your ministry. In every se lection, party and party feelings should be avoided. Now is the" time to exterminate that mon ster, called party spirit. By selecting characters most conspi cuous for their probity, virtue, capacity, and firmness, without any regard to- party, you will go fir to, if not entirely, eradicate those feelings which, on former occasions, threw so many obsta cles in the way of government; and, perhaps, have the pleasure and honor of uniting a people heretofore politically dividedv The Chief Magistrate of a great and powerful nation should ne vcr indulge in party feelings. His conduct should be liberal and disinterested, always bear ing in mind that he acts for the irhofe, and not a part of the community. By this course you will exalt the national character, and acquire for your self a name as imperishable as monumental marble.

This is so far an original pro position, that, as far as we know, it has never before been propo sed that the Speaker of the House of Representatives should be designated in any other man ner than by the choice of the Members of that body from a mong themselves. ib. Execution. Lemuel Lewis, who was convicted at the last term of the Superior Court, of this county, of assisting in the murder of Hinton Pugh, was executed, pursuant to sentence, We stated some weeks since, that Stacy, tried at Louisburg for murder, and convicted of manslaughter, was burnt in the hand and discharged. Having since learned that he was not branded, but fined, we feel it our duty to rectify the mis take. lb. Fire. On Thursday night, (Gth inst.) about 10 o'clock, a fire broke out in the large frame building on Halifax road, near the Delectable heights, belong ing to Mr. Jacob Kirkham, which was entirely consumed, it being impossible for the fire companies to arrive' in time at the scene of conflagration, to render the least assistance. No other building was injured. The house was unoccupied, and the fire doubtless communicated by an incendiary. Petersburg Rep. Methodist Conference.

This august assembly con sists of the three Bishops of the Church, two delegates from the English Conferences, and repre sentatives from all the Annual Conferences in the U. States.

Some important business in re lation to Church Government is expected to be brought before this meeting, which will render its proceedings very interesting to the members of the Church. Three Indian Chiefs, attached to the Mission School in the Wyandot nation, have come on to attend this Conference. Pet. Int. Shaicnccioivn, (III.) April 24. The Hon.

New- York, May 1 1 .Every inhabitant of this highly favored city must indulge in feelings of pride and gratitude in witness ing the rapid and prosperous growth of the "commercial em porium of the western world." Not only is our foreign com merce daily increasing, but we are cheered with the prospect of shortly beholding a very ex tended and profitable inland commerce, We yesterday no ticed the arrival of two Canal boats from Laker Chamnlain. ... y richly laden with country pro duce.
