HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

II viii be gratifying to The numerous friends of
Mr.. WISE to learn that this distinguished represen-
tative has SO far recovered from his long and seri-
Gus indisposiliou as to be abe to attend the sittines
OF the House. He appeared in the Hall today,
and was cordially welcomed by his feliow-members.
May he soon be restored TO his former health and
strength, und be enabled to Gehi, in the battles Of
liberty. with the same holiness and energy which
have alreaGy won for him 50 high q reputation.
The House resumed the consideration of the mo-
Il ms which have been 20 long pending, for the dis.
posal Of Abolition memorials, petitions, &c, under
amendment Of the standing rules of the House.
The House Of Representatives settled the ques-
tion as to the disposal Of petitions and memorials
relating to the abolition Of slavery and the slave
trade, for the term of the present Congress, by The
adoption Of the following resolutions:
Resolved, That. upon the presentation Of any
memorial or petition praying tor the abolition of
slavery or the slave trade in any District, Territory.
or State of the Union, and upon the presentation of
any resolution OF other paper touching that subject.
the reception of such memorial, resolution, or pa,
per she'll be considered as objected to-, and he
qrsstion Of is reception shall be laid on The table.
without debate or further action thereon.
Resolped, That no petition, memorial, resolu-
ton, or other paper, praying for the abolition of
slavery in the District OF Columbia, or any State or
Territory, OF the slave trade between the States or
Territories of the Uoited States. in which ii now
exists, shall be received by this House or entertai.
ned in any way whatever.
TIE PUBLIC PRINTING.
The Loco Focos Of the House are in great trou.
BILE about this matter. The decision of YESTERDAY
requiring the Clerk TO procure the necessary prin.
ting on the iowest terms, would deprive the official
editor of that whereby he is enabled to supporth his
vehicle Of %calumny and misrepresentation.
y motion was, therefore, made to day, (no doubt
by bis Instigation,) to reconsider that vote; and il
prevailed The yess and nays being as follows:

From ToBAsco.-At New Orleans on the 9Th
inst the schooner Henry Clay, arrived in ten DAYS
from Tobasco. The Federal forces under the com.
mand of General Imam, which we have already
known to have marched from Yucatan, had not ar
rived; and of course the city remained under the
control OF The Central Mexican troops in the fort
The whole population are reported TO be Federal
and determined TO be free; and as Gen Imam was
hourly expected to arrive with his band of patriot
troops no doubt was entertained that Tobasco like
fucatan would soon be clear Of the miniops Of des
pstism.

FROM ArRIoA.-Captain Potter, in the Gazelle,
arrived at Salem on the 18th, from the River Gam
bia He states that the trouble at Nunez which has
heretofore been reported, has not yet ceased, and
vessels are not permitted to enter the river
slight difficulty occurred at Gambia between
some OF the natives and the English, which was not
ended when Capt p. left. 1t that some of the
natives from aneighboring island came into the set

them nsuted British officer, and after some farth.
difficulties file of soldiers fred ON the natives

A circumstance occurred the occasion of the
Queens birth day, which is highly interesting for
many reasons. 1t seems that Hem b. HuntIy. ESQ.
the new Governor, lately arrived in the colony from
England, gave splendid dinner party on that day
In the morning all the ships in the harbor displayed
their coors, and the British man of war; Rolia. dis
played the flags of all nations excepting the United
States. AS soen this was perceived the Ameri-
cans, feeling that slight was offered to their coun-
try, hauled down their coiors. The commander of
the Rolla Immediately waited them and made a
handsome apology, stating that he had but one en-
sign of the u States, and that was borrowed by the
Governor to display over the dinner table The
next morning the Rolla dis played the American en-
sign at the fore, and the British at the main and
fired a salute in honor Of the United States which

Another FATAL ARRAY IN MfssIssIPPI.-CoV-
RAGE AND PREsENcE or MIND OF A LApY.-A Sc
rious ARRAY occurred near Woodville, (Miss) on
Sunday morning, the 18th Junc.-As we have learn
ed the particulars from a gentleman, who was at
Woodvie at the time, IL seems that Col. ID. Wood
ward, with his brother and man named Glass. way
laid a carriage containing Col WIS wife, and two
other ladies, with Mr.. Frazier, step-son OF WIS
BY his wife, and two three small children. The
first named party ordered the other to stop, and Col
w immesiately fired pistol directly at the persons
in the carriage, wounding one Of the ladies in the
cheek. Young Frazier then jumped from the car
riage aud fired pistol at Col. Woodward, wounding
him badly in the face With another pistol he lodg
ed ball in his body, which killed Elm instantly
The brother Of the latter Immediately shot Frazier
in the back, he WIS returning TO the carriage
Glass, in the mean time, had lcd. A brother Of Fra
zier, whs was on horseback behind the carriage,
now came up, when Woodward fired gun Of him,
SCATTERING his arm badly with buekshot At the
last C counts the Frazier who was first wounded
was not expected to live.
One Of the ladies in the carriage showed great pre-
sehce of mind, by srderng her children to lie down
She then picked up pistol, which had been drop
ped, and threatening Ia shoot one OF Col. Wood
wards negroes, who had seized the horses, induced
him TO let GO, aud then drove of.
IL seems that there had been difference OF long
standing between Col Woodward and his wife, in
which her children by a former husband, the two
Fraziers. had taken part. reward Of 81 800 has
be, offered for the apprehension Of Woodward
brother, who is now at large Glass has been ap.
