Yours, &c. e A 8 as~e &-G 98 60~68 - The! ominaai,of Gen..Taylor 1o. the sidency. ic.-In common witb the great mass of our fellow citizens, we were pained to notice the proceedings of a cer tain' portion 'of the people of-a distant State, in regard to the nomination by them, 1PGend aylotto.tePresidency of the "United States. Such proceedings, how evertIle-16be;.motives which actuated the zinsioibrtaifabem, were much to be de - pirecated. and to say the least, were in ex ': eesively bad-taste. At atime, too, when the press, the entire press, political or oth erwise, was sounding the praises of the gallant Taylor from one extremity.of the land to tbeother, when his name was em phatically onevery, one's lips, at such a timeto drag forth into the political arena, to be made a mark for the poisonous shafts 'of envy and detraction, to have his con duct, official and private, subjected to the fiery and too.often fatal ordeal of captious and dishonest. political criiicism,-to have done this, would have been to adopt the most itdpolitic and unwise; not, to say run ons courseever pursued by an.. intelligent people towards a popular and deserving man. Gen.'Taylor has hosts of friends. ew.inen, We will vetiure to say, ever ac ,quiired in so short a period such unbound ed popularity, among al. classes of a well nformed people, as Gen. Zachary Tay lor. The people have delighted to do him "honor, and whether he be Democrat or Whig; they will continue to regard him with that ardor and devotion which a gen erous and noble-minded people are wont to feel towards a man, who by his gallant ry in the field, and decision and firmness in council has adorned the proud brow of the nation with laurels, which time will essay iit vain to render less vivid and bright. Gen. Taylor needs no office how 'ever elevated t6 make him more dear to the American people, nor to increase the splendor of his fame. Let hitir repose, in the.. language. of another, "beneath the shade of laurels honorably won." . When the nation. requires his services in other 1han a military. capacity there will then be time to fling his banner to the breeze, and if it is so .willed, to elevate him to the highest honor ihtrhe nation's gift. And here we may be pardoded, we trust, fur alluding to the practice, much toi common in the laud'Tf-thrusting forward the names of political aspiratits long before there is any necessity for such a proceeding. Scarcely is one Presidential election over ere the m'aterials of another are made ready to enkindle into a blaze.

She arrived herd full of coal, and sailed during the .passage 9 and 10 knot for days -together. The Falmomith was blockading on her arrival, and they sailed together for two days. The Princeton can sail round her, and is equal under sail to two-tbirds of the ves sels in our Navy. For 12 days she has been underway just out of reach. of the ?guns 'of-the Castle. When vessels make their. appearance she makes sail for them; and when they are very fast and wish to run, she fires up goes alongside and places a prize officer on board..

Correspondence of the Charkeston Courier. - WasseToN, June 1. Thore is much exditement at the Cap-. ilouo the subject of the Tariff bill.

Foreign lnielligence 15 DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the Steamship Brafannia. The steamship Britannia arrived at Bos: ton on Saturday morning, and her news was received in Philadelphia by eipress :from whence it was communicated to the Baltimore Sun, by the Magnetic Tele graph, some twenty-four-hours in advance of the mail. The news is of considerable importance, and very interesting, particu-, larly. so far as relates to the reception of the news of the victories of Gen. Taylor on the Rio Grande. The corn bill has triumphed in the comi mittee of the whole in the: house of Lords by a .majority. of thirty three. Conse quently, all fears as to its final passage art at an end, and a rich market for our super abundant crops of breadstuffs may noi be confillently anticipated. - There has been a-decline of one eighth pence in the Cotton market, though the demand continued study. In England and Ireland the wheat and potatoe, as well as other crops, have a fine and prosperous appearance.-nd the prospect =.f a plentiful harvest was con sidered good on the 19th uIt.. when the Britanaia sailed. It seems. tbe-efore,that we have monopolize) all the rain in this direction, unless the storm clouds have paid them a late visit. Sir Robert Peel's retirement is more confidently spoken of than by former ar rivals-there is, however, nothing positive knwwn yet with regard to his intention in this respect. It is based .on the supposi tion, that on the completion of his great measures he will 'etire from active life. - The war botween the United States and Mexico erirgosses public attention. The victorie.' of the Americana on the Rio Grande hiis changed public feeling both in England and France, from sympathy. for the Mexicans to contempt. This change of opinion, 'however; is as. uijust'to the Mexicans as the former feeling was, to the Anericans. The Mexicans derive.much credit for their gallant. stand, and it was only the superior tact and energy of Gen. Taylor and his brave litile army to over throw them. Mr. Guizot's drian is still pointing out the necessity arnd policy of France and England interfering by a joint-action of some kind to protect Mexico from what it terms the repacious and tyrannical conduc in the United States in seizing. ou the territory of a weak and unfortunate na tion. The government organ, however, does not touch -nn the subject, and the probability is, that *the organ of Mr. Gui zit is used as a feeler to. ascertaiti 'the views of the -.peopfe in' regard- to such a movement. ... . - Le Compte, the attempted:asiassin of L'ouis Phillippe, JDing of.the Freneb. has been executed. -This annouticetnie lt .i ' .be.:received whht undiversa!. surprise, s this unfortunate: man has izretofore'been unifortmly epresented ar- labrig intuler f/aii: f . ie Pope of . l. hoess, the Pope of: Romo is dead, .lavitjg expired. suddenui on theist of Juze, ,ar: ditnal Priuzoni, itdis said, is the person'most likely to.succoed iim. 'rom IWilmr limith 's nitra -; THE CORN lI;LL. - All cears for theP. . l.- y of the Cor n Bill are over. The most critical- stnge-that of the ,Cotmmitee, -has been passed i ump 1hantly, aad-with a turnericul btrength greater ihtn was7I anticipiated. The Ilouse of Lords w~ent into commi. '.ce on the Bill last Mionday. On the &rst night the Duke of Buckitngham-mnoved an ame'ndment, the e'ffeci of which, if carried, wirmld have entilied upon the coumiy a permanttent sliding scale, varying~ from tour shiltings to ten shillings per quarter. Tis is the import duty wvhi~ h Corn will have to payuntil February, 1849, when a nomtinal duty of at shilling per quarter is to be i'sposed- fur registry The Dukte in proptositng his amendment, did so in a tamte, hutm-dub speech, which showed that ho had nto faith in its success. The result proved that he was right The votes showed a clear mnajority of 33 against it. There was a large mauster of peers on either side, and as proxies are not admis sable in commttittee, to supporters of the Govertnent were far miore numerous than ptrovious calculations poited at,. Whtat its political consequences will be, this is neither the timne nor the place to consider. It is far and away the greatest. fiscal measure of the age. Its influence will not be limited to our own clime ; it will influence, in a greater or less de gree, the policydoevery commercial coun try in the world ; and already its effects are observable in tho relaxation of tthe Rus san TIariff, and in the altered views of nations which have thought that their wvi sest and best policy was to follow the late s'ritgent code of England. The United States, our greatest corn mnercial rival, cau'not long remain inert.
