Latest from England. The ship Canada, nt iNnw York, turnishes London dates lo'thoSd tilt. The Cotton mark ets continued rather dull, with no material variation in prices. The political intelli gence is not important we, however, give Tew extracts. Mr. Lander, the African traveller, has been murdered nt a place between two or three hundred miles up the Niger river. The excessive increase of the Trades Union Societies in England has excited much solicitude in that country. The Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and the former Chancellor Lord Eldon, have, in the House of Lords, expressed their o pinion that the assemblage of ihesc soci eties in large numbers, under any pre text, was illegal. The latter reproached Ministers with supineness in allowing the late processions to take place. Lord Brougham contented himself with an elo quent appeal to the members of the soci eties themselves, in which he called upon them to abstain from measures which their best friends could not approve. Some accounts represent these societies as at many places going to decay, others speak of them as becoming more forcible in their numbers and intentions. Mr. CVConnelPs motion on the repeal of the Union was negatived, April 29, and Mr. Rice's Address to his Majesty, pledg ing opposition to the project, agreed to by n majority of 485 votes! the noes be ing 38. A letter from Dublin of April 29th, represents various parts of Ireland as in a very disturbed state. The intelligence of the conclusion of a treaty between France, England, Spain, nnd Don Pedro, is of great importance, as it assures the restoration of Donna nt .1 1 .1 I luaria lO me lurooe, minim; pui iii.iiifiiuj of the Regency of the Queen of Spain, unless some important event should take place to shake the established order of things in the dominions of the two great powers, and compel them to confine their views to their own homes. Encounters still continue to take place between the troops of the Regency and the partizans of Don Carlos, but they are chiefly con fined to the province of Biscay, and do not appear to be attended with any deci sive results. Don Carlos himself is fly ing before the Spanish troops, which have entered Portugal and no doubt prove powerful auxiliaries to Don Pedro. The Journal des Debats of Tuesday, May 28th, says: Intelligence has reached government of the taking of Almeida, an important place on the frontier of Por tugal, by the troops of Donna Maria. This news created no sensations at Paris, though it is generally allowed that the affairs of the Peninsula are fast approach ing a crisis. The abandonment of Algiers as a col ony has been recommended by a Com mittee of the French Chambers. Their report affirms that it cannot be retained with a less army than 25,000 men; that it costs France 30,000,000 francs per an num, while its own revenues do not ex ceed 1,500,000 francs. SOUTH AMERICA. From Mexico. We have received our regular files of Mexican papers to the 27lh ultimo. They are generally silent upon the political affairs of the country, and we are, therefore, led to suppose that all is tranquil for the present, and that the intestine commotions have subsided. The government of Vera Cruz has passed a decree abolishing convents and confiscating all the property to the ser vice of the state. The edifices are to be converted into hospitals and seminaries of learning. This measure we feel ap prehensive will be the cause of another one of those internal wars from which Mexico has suffered so much. It is contemplated to restrict foreigners from engaging in the retail business. This, it is pretended, is done with a view to favor the indigent natives by inducing 'hem to embark in that branch of trade themselves. New Orleans Bee. From Columbia. Extract of a letter to a merchant of this city, dated Bogota, May received by the brig Athenian from Carthagcna "We have peace and quietness here, and the Congress is engaged in revising their Tariff, which will be greatly reduc ed on American productions, and it is contemplated to go in force the 31st Ju ly next. In the Equator Gen. Fin res nnd Roch aforto are yet fighting about Guayaquil, to which place the latter had returned in the ship Colombia. This country is strongly inclined to help Rochaforte, and will do it, if the contest continues a few months longer. Gen. Musquera (broth er of the Vice President,) has proposed in Congress to lay off ti largo tract of conn try in Panama for colonization, to which religions toleration is to be extended; which, it is believed, he will be able to carry, as an experiment, although the priests in Congress, with the exception of three, oppose it. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Soto, and Mr. Pamlo, minister of foreign relations here, have both tendered their resignations to the President. They are both enlightened, liberal men, and are dis satisfied with Congress. I hope Presi dent Santander will not accept their re signations. Gen. Gomez, Col. Rodriguez, and two others, were this morning condemned by a court martial to be shot for attempting to assassinate Capt. Diaz a few nights since. N. Y. Star. Communications FOR THE FREE TRESS. Mr. Howard: Sir, 1 noticed with pe culiar delight in the last Free Press, the very learned and high flown effusions of your distinguished and talented corres- pondent Phileter, nnd not until now have 1 been able to ulentily him. And were it not for the good opinion which I enter tain for him, I would give him more am ple cause to complain of the sting of my Ia6h than before; but common respect for so able an individual forbids it. Not on ly so, when one is brought to see the folly of his ways and makes acknowledgments, it is christian-like to let him pass forgiv en. Although he complained most bit terly of the stupidity and roughness of Patrick, who never pretended to any thing like refinement, yet he brought his emol lient qualities into requisition, and it is very evident to the most stupid observer, that a slight degree of repentance is ex hibited throughout his last communica tion. Therefore, this perfectly self taught, original writer Putrick, consoles himself at the idea of having convinced so highly polished and philosophical a writer as Phileter, of his erroncons con duct. Had I have known him in the out set, he would have passed uninterrupted for me; for it is certainly the height of folly for a green horn, meat-axe Patrick, (old vulgar sayings) to set up his opin ions against one so remarkable for his acute and magnificient perception of mat ters and things in general. He is lofty to all intents und purposes; unfortunately for him, he believes he is fully as smart as he really is. But whether his splen did genius is the result of dint of study and close application, or whether he is like myself and many other illiterate fel lows, who now and then get near enough to refined company to catch a high-sounding expression or so at a time, and place it away carefully in our pcricraniums un til we get off among the still more ignor ant nnd then use them as original with ourselves, without knowing their deriva tion, sound or meaning, is the question Something like this for instance: We are lost in contemplating over the semblance of enamoured beauty in dreaming inno-cence--sleeping princess glows with vis ions of eternal love, while faithless spouse is stealing away like a thief from the shores ofNoxos, and by his perfidy tarn ishes the glories of his adventures. Per mit me to say, that one half of the com mon people, I mean the illiterate, would take this as convincing proof of a man's scholarship, when there is neither sense or. meaning in it. I feel assured this is much the case with my loquacious antag onist, who is pretty pompous and star chy, and has at least as much audacity as decency, by which he often puts himself in the way of high-toned language, and bein ever on a strain to pass for his full worth, he retains well what he sees or hears, nnd lets oil freely in the most bom bastic manner. The untamed Patrick miht have worked his passage into the company of scientific gentlemen too, and have sent forth a long rigmarole of non sensical jargon as his own ideas, but self-respect taught him to shun nil com pany that did not seek his, nnd not to venture beyond his depth in or out of wa ter. Therefore, my fair friends, being surpassed by this ordinary or extraordin ary giant, Phileter, although at present on the stool of repentance, 1 must leave him, after making n lew remarks. Although he sounds high, loud and strong, it is no evidence whatever of its being the sound of a Solomon or a Sampson; for like him, I will make a droll comparison the most clownish boy in the whole county might apply his mouth to a bugle-horn and sound it as loud and harmonious as the most profound statesman, and one nt a distance could not distinguish the foo! from the wise man. Though Phileter is no doubt bright beyond measure I will consign him over to one of his own strength. PATRICK. On Wednesday, Mr. Poindexter notice of his intention to bring in a bill 6 provide for the meeting of the f,Hvt ' lo FRIDAY, JUiNF: 13, 1S34. (QAn aged and highly esteemed friend en quires, if we do not think conscientiously that the President has usurped powers tiiat do not belong to him that some of his measures have caused great and unprecedented distress in many and large sections of our once highly favored country suggesting, if we would throw off the collar, and come out as a true Whig, that we would not repent it and hoping that it will not be long before we will be convinced of the error which many have fallen into, in supporting men instead of measures. We freely admit, that Pre sident Jackson has claimed and exercised powers, in our opinion, not in accordance with ihose per taining to that office as expounded by the fathers of republicanism and that one of his measures has caused considerable distress in some sections of our country; but we have not as yet seen suf ficient cause to justify the exchange of the "col lar," as our worthy correspondent is pleased to term our adherence to the Administration, for the triple-stranded Whig cord, composed as it evidently is of the motley and heterogeneous ma terials of nationalism, bankism, and nullification and we think we have given satisfactory evi dence, that the "collar" neither fits so tightly as to make it uncomfortable, or to subject us to the imputation oi "supporting men instead ot mea sures." We did not approve the doctrines of the proclamation, the force bill, the removal of the deposites, nor what was represented as the prin cipal obnoxious feature of the protest but we cannot iorget that the unconstitutional and cor rupting Internal Improvement system "lies prostrate beneath the veto," and that thro' the instrumentality of the "measures" referred to by our correspondent, the equally unconstitutional and more dangerous influence of the mammoth Bank has been effectually exposed and subdued, notwithstanding the obstructions thrown in the way of the President by those professing friend ship for him and hostility to the Bank. We reciprocate the kind expressions of our correspondent, and trust that so long as we con duct a "Free Press" we will be ever ready to approve those doctrines and measures which we deem consistent with the republican faith of '98, and condemn those of an opposite tendency, re gardless whether we do or do not happen to wear a cord or a "collar."

On iorj day, as soon as the Journal was read, the Speaker rose and in a neat address, re signed his situation as presiding Officer of that body, and retired from the Chair Mr. Mercer rose and moved that the Mouse now proceed to elect a Speaker The motion was seconded by Mr. Will! iams, and the question being slated by the Clerk, it was decided unanimuuslviQ the affirmative. Ten balloting were then had, on the last of which John Bell of Tennessee, received 114 votes, and was declared to be duly elected. He was conducted to the Chair, by Messrs. John Q. Adams and R. M. Johnson where the oaths of office were adminis tered by Mr. Williams, of this State, the Father of the House. We subjoin a statement of the first and last balloting First. Tenth. R. H.

Wayne, 15 Georgia, Pennsyslvania, and North Carolina, each presented a candidate, and Tennessee two on the side of the Admin istration. Mr. Wilde, of Georgia, was the candidate of the Opposition. The successful candidate, Mr. Bell, is from the District in which the President re sides, and has given an uniform, able, and consistent support to all his measures. Ho is a man of fine genius, high attain ments, and distinguished for his elo. quence. (Messrs. Joseph White and Rob erts Vaux, whose nominations as Direc tors of the U. S. Bank were recently confirmed by the Senate, have declined acting. University of North Carolina. -The Public Anniversary Examination of the Students of the University of North Car olina, will be held at Chapel Hill, on Monday, the 16th day of June next, and continued from day to day until Thurs day, the 26th which last mentioned day is appointed for the Annual Commence ment of the College. South Carolina. The Appeal Court has decided the Test Oath to be uncon stitutional Judges O'Neale &, Johnson concurring in this opinion, and Judge Harper, though . dissenting as to the un constitutionality, agreeing with the oth ers on the main point, that the Conven tion transcended its authority in defining allegiance, and declaring it to be due ex clusively to the State. The UoluniDia Times is full of wrath at this decision, and calls upon the people not to submit to it. Fay. Obs. C?We briefly mentioned in ourlastthc effects of a tornado which passed through the county of Chesterfield on Wednes day, the 4th instant. We have since re ceived information of another destruc tive slorm which occurred, nt the same tmei,in the counties of Notoway.Dinwid- die, Sussex, and Southampton. These storms rival, in the extent of damage done to property, the memorable tornado of the 5th of May last. Dwelling ant out houses, timber, fences, in fact every thing , which came within the reach ot their desolating fury, were swept oiva)' but we are happy to say, that the loss life has, as far as our information enables us to speak, been much less.
