mm mm fQVtiQtt. J they took of resigning their places jon account of Mr. Canning's ob scure birth! Such is human vani- From Europe London papers to the 5th May, have been receiv ed at New-1 ork. The new mem bers of the British administration received from the King the seals of their respective offices on the 130th of April. Parliament re-as sembled on Tuesday, the 1st of May, and the public curiosity was at the highest pitch on the occa sion. The House presented a singular appearance as to the po sition ot manyot its members. At 5 o'clock Mr. Canning entered and took his seat in his usual place, on the Treasury side. Mr. Peel was on the second seat near er the bar on the ministerial side of the House. The debate was opened by the late Mr. Secretary Peel, on a mo tion to issue a writ for the election of a member to supply the place of Mr. Sturges Bourne, who has taken Mr. P.'s place in the minis try. Mr. P. took this opportuni ty to explain the reasons which had prompted him to leave the administration. Sir Thos. Leth bridgc and Mr. Dawson, who have gone to the opposition benches, assailed the new ministry. They expressed much chagrin, and stig matised the union of the Whigs with Mr. Canning one of the ba sest coalitions which the country had ever witnessed, and attacked the Press as being "corrupted to the verv heart's core." Mr. Canning made a most tri umphant speech, ami entered into a history of his political life as con nected with the Catholic question, and proved the consistency of his conduct in the most unanswera ble manner. The sitting of the House of Commons on the 3d of Mav, was! one of the most stormy that has been witnessed for a number of years. Party spirit seems to have reached no inconsiderable height, and in the words of Mr. Canning, "the standard of opposition has been now fairly unfurled." It is rumored that Parliament will be dissolved at the close of the present session, in order to give the new ministry the advan tage of a new election. ty which would rather build on "airy nothing" thus, than erect a name on the solid foundation of individual merit! Pet. Int. France. The French papers bring intelligence of the disband ing of the National Guards of Pa ris, in consequence of the disgust expressed by them, (accompanied by the departure from the strict rules of military discipline,) at the Ministers who attempted to in vade the liberty of the Press. The order for the disbanding of this celebrated corps, which lias existed through all the successive changes of Government, from the first (lawn of the Gallic Revolu tion down to the present time is a strong measure on the part of the French Ministry; and the cir cumstances which led to it must either have been of a very alarm ing or most provoking character. Perhaps King Charles X. howev er, in imitating the recent example of the Ottoman Sultan in putting down the Janissaries, may find to his cost that he has less malleable materials to deal with.

News from the West. The follow ing paragraph appears in the Courtland (Ala.) Herald, of the 25th May. Wc are happy to state, that the individual referred lo, although he has been dan gerously sick, when last heard from was not only convalescent, but well ground ed hopes were entertained of his speedy and perfect recovery. "John Randolph is no more! We learn from a gentleman who arrived here in the Stage on Wed nesday, immediately from Nash ville, the melancholy intelligence of the death of John Randolph of Roanoke.

Mr, Canning. Since the ele vation of this gentleman to the first office in the British Empire, certain of the London Editorial corps have set them busily at work in order to find out, (what they never thought of before,) something ancient and noble in his pedigree: And, as a search of this kind is always attended with success, wc are not surprised at the discovery that he is descend ed from a "family of great anti quity" viz: "Francis Canning, Esq. of Foxcotc, in Warwick shire, the twelfth possessor of that estate in lineal male descent from Thomas Canning, Esq. who, in the reign of Henry VI. married Agnes, sole heiress of Le Mar shal, of Foxcotc, seated there from the time of Edward I." So runs the account what a pity it is, that the Duke of Wellington and his noble colleagues, had not ueen intormnrl nt nl this, in timn Singidar Circumstance. We under stand that on Sunday last, the stage from Faycttcville to this place hail proceeded but a short distance, when one of the passengers exhibited evident symptoms of insanity; after uttering a few incohe rent expressions, he leaped from the staga and ran into the woods with the utmost precipitation, apparently in great alarm, and has not since been heard of he had paid his fare to this place, but his name was not on the way-bill, nor was it known to the other passengers. Trading icith Slaves. The Act passed at the last session of our Legisla ture "to prohibit the trading with Slaves," has met with considerable dis approbation in some of our commercial towns. A writer in a late Edenton pa per, calls it unconstitutional and unjust, and declares his determination to set some of its provisions at defiance. In Wilmington, two public meetings have been held, one approving and the other disapproving the passing of the Act. In this place, we believe, the general fea tures of the Act are approved, and scru pulously observed. The editor of the Murfreesborough Chronicle remarks: "A person the other day asked us what we thought of the Negro Law, passed at the last session of the Legislature! We think it a contemptible scheme to get mon ey out of the merchants, who are already saddled with more taxes than they justly ought to pay, and is an incursion meanly levelled at the poor slaves, who God knows, have little chance to reap many pecuniary uenclits. The member , ' 1 i j "- J. 1 1 i ., 1 1 1 imve prevented the rash step who proposed such a law was, no Pr 'sidency. The new Editors of the EdentonOazettc declare their preference as follows: "We arc decidedly opposed to tlic Administration ana in lavor of the election of Gen. JACKSON to the Presidency; we are so from a firm conviction that Gen. J. was, at the last election, the choice of the people; and that the election of Mr. Adams was the result of a corrupt bargain, betwixt himself and his polished "premier. turins Boston Notions. The Woollen Ma nufacturers are in motion, and as we an ticipated, the advocates of the adminis tration are endeavoring to connect the re-election of the present incumbent with the "American system," as Mr Clay termed the protecting policy. Several larjre meetinjr of the manufacturers have been held at a recent one in Boston, Abbot Lawrence, Esq. of that city, (to whose opinions we are told "we ought to give great weight,") very sagacious ly observed in reference to the opposi tion in Virginia to the "Northern Pre sident:" "What then has produced this feeling in the Ancient Dominion Is it that pure flame of patriotism which animated their fathers in achieving the American Revolu tion! I leave you to judge. Is it not a strife not for principles, but for power! Are not the lines already drawn, and is it not whe ther freemen or slaves, whether white men or black men, shall rule the destinies of this country!" Wh catC ro ps aga in. T h re e weeks ago, (says the Warrenton Reporter) we stated that the fields of forward May reheat "in this neighborhood," were destroyed this was true. Since that time we have been repeatedly charged with the offence of raisins: the price of CORN in Halifax! Now it it be a tact that the Corn mer chants of our sister-county did enhance the price of that article, upon the faith of the paragraph alluded to, we must take the lib erty of saying that they were un doubtedly hard run for a ground of pretext, upon which to build their exorbitancy and this we as sert forscveral substantial reasons: First Because "this neighbor hood" was not intended to em- the import of our ideal paragraph but we will advise them no longer to indulge in their delusion, for we assure them that our Farmers are in the midst of their harvest; and a more bounti ful crop has never before reward ed their labors; and what is a source of still greater consolation and pride, the number of acres that were put into the cultivation of this grain the last sowing, were more than double or trebto that of any former year.
