LATE FROM O-BANISHMENT Of
SANTA ANNA. SC.

The Mexican steamer Neptune, Capt Parkin-
son, which arrived at Charleston, s. G, from Ha-
vana. on the 9th inst. brings the intelligence that
the British mail steamer Medway arrived at Ha.
vana on the 9TH inst. from Vera Cruz, which port
she left on the 1st inst, having on board as pas
sengers, General Santa Anna, lady and family,
who had been banished from the Mexican terrific
ries They were to proceed to Venezuela. The
British mail steamer Dee, also arrived at Havana
on the 9Th inst. with General Bustamentc on board
on his way to Mexico, General Santa Anna was
received with every demonstration of respect on
his arrival at Havana, being escorted to his lodg-
ing by bands of music, while little attention was
paid to Gen. Bustamente, thus showing that pop
ular opinion was quite unfavorabls to the newly
constituted authorities of Mexico
We have no positive particulars as to the course
pursued by the Mexican government, in banshing
Santa Anna, but Capt Parkinson states that he
understoon that the decree prescribed an absence
Of ten yeaIs-that his private property wasrespect-
ed--that he had with him large amount of money
and was in good personal health and spirits. 1t is
stated that all anticipations of war between the
United States and Mexico had subsided--and a
strong practical evidence that such was the case,
is the fact that the Neptuna, the property Of Mex
leans, had been ordered to New York to reft,
which would of course not have been done if the
owners were apprehcnsve of such an event. In
one of the Havana papers, il is stated that the
French Legation had been Insulted in the streets
of Vera Cruz, just previous TO the sailing of the
Midway, and that the Minister had demanded from
the Mexican government immediate reparation for
the indignity offered, or the alternative Of furnish
ing him with his passports.

law right; nevertheless, this estimate seems to me
disproporiionate. Itrequires the capital invested
in land, horses and cattle, to pay Q I-2 times the
amount of all other capital invested in the State.
But suppose the merchant, with some others, to
have not paid, under the old law, the amount
which equity demanded; to secure greater as
sessment from them, was and am unwilling to
involve them with law, inexplicable, and liable
to force tax where no investments are made,
nor did wish to raise that assessment by taxing
the mechanic and manufacturer on their labor;
neither to make an invidious distinction between
citizens of the same community and of similar
pursuits / wished an addition to the tax list of
capital heretofore neglected. Could that have
been presented in the BILL without coupling it with
so much iniquity and violation of principle,
should have cbeerfully supported it, but it was,
as cheerfuly voted against the bill when voted
down in the House; called the yeas and nays on
the reconsideration, voted against it, and voted
against the bill on its final passage In my opinion
the tendency Of the law would be to embarrass
enterprise, discourage industry, and oppress labor.

PRICE OF WooL.-It will be remembered that
last year wool brought greatly advanced price
fromithe previous year, which the whig press and
the whig stumpers claimed was the legitimate
self that the tariff had little TO do with it, yet we
could not gainsay their arguments, because Of the
fact that the high tariff of duties had gone into
effect. and the price Of wool was greatly increas-
ed But how stands the case now? The same
tariff is in operation, but the price of wool has
fallen of full 20 per cent! Now either too much
was paid for wool last year. or the manufacturers
of, and spectators in this article, have entered
into combination to fleece the producer.-.Nor-

This discussion we believe ill-tmed, and by no
means wise. The passage Of such resolution as
that contemplated above, would have.the effect of
disturbing the peace off many private families, and
perhaps lead to more injurious consequences
Better, then, to waive the agitation of the matter
altogether. Albany .drgus

PERFECTLY NATURAL.-A. S. Williams, cash
ier of the now defunct st. Clair Bank, resigned
his charge of that rotten concern, just previous TO
its explosion, and purchased the Detroit Adverti-
ser, rank federal sheet, which he now edits, and
defends most Jeeiingiy the memory of this "red
dog" swindling machine The Free Press says
this Williams, by his connection with this shaving
achine has been enabled to rise from briefless,
oficelsss, and even houseless pettifogger, to the
purchase OF the Advertiser, in virtue Of which
position he is enabled 10 pay an associate $1,000 a
year for editing it, while he plays the gentleman.
The holders of this money arel very glad to
take fifty cents on the dollar for it, while lis late
officers and managers have retired with well filled
pockets All this is in strict accordance with
whig practice, if not whig principles.

The MARRIAGE QUESTION - The excite
ment on the marriage question has again been
revived in the General Assembly OF the Presbyte
rian Church. The confession OF faith OF that
Christian denomination, holds, it seems, mans
marriage with his deceased wifes sister, as con-
trary to the word of God. A resolution was
offered on the 22d inst In the Assembly to enforce
this article in strict sense, but after considerable
discussion, it was rejected by small majority
ayes 80, nays 81.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDoNIA-FoUR.

TEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The royal mail steamer, Caledonia, Capt. E G.
Lott, arrived at Boston, on Thursday, afternoon,
at half past IL clock, bringing London dates to
the morning of the 4th instant, and Liverpool TO
the afternoon of the same day, thus making the
passage m about fourteen and half days.
The news is not very important. The excite
ment which had existed previously In relation to
the Oregon question, had entirely subsided.
The American provision market was in very
healthy state, The demand was fully equal to the
import, and every day increased the popularity of
the provisions from the Western World.
Cotton was dull and the prices barely sus' aimed

for the prevention OF the slave trade on the coast
of Africa, has been signed at the Foreign Office.
The Catholic Bishops are up IN arms against the
measure now before Parliament for establishing
colleges in the north, the south, and the west of
ireland.
Germany appears to be in state of high ex-
ciement in consequence OF the scism caused by
M. Ronge, the new Luther, who demands mar
riage for the Catholic priesthood, and the celebra-
tion of mass in tie native instead of the Latin
language.
Poland is still in disturbed state; at Warsaw
the prisoners are daily increasing the number of
their victims. The danger of correspondence Is
greatly augmented.
There is "screw loose" between France and
her new ally the Emperor of Morocco. The
latter has repudiated the treaty which was negotia
ted on the part of his government by General De-
larue.
The European Times says: "The arrival of the
Hbernia on Saturday, put at rest the uneasiness
which has prevailed some time past relative to our
relations with America. All apprehension of a
hostile collision arising out of the Oregon question
has disappeared.
1t is rumored that the parliamentary session will
close about the middle Of July, and that her Maj

backery treat these two men? Why,
the gentleman banker is left to 60 scot
free, because he has made no profits,
while the merchant, because he may
have barely enough left to pay it, is tax

The "Natonal Intelligencer" of this morning is
pleased to say, that explanatory article of the
18th instant made, it believes, mot without de-
sign" The nucndo is, that it was published at the
request Of the Executive. The 'InteIligenccr" was
never more mistaken. 1t was written by the editor
himsclf-ncithcr advised by the President, nor any
member Of the executive nor any Other person
nor the slightest hint of it given nor was shown to
any portion of the executive, before it appeared in
the "Unon." So much for the original article on
Oregon; and much for our own explanation of its
history.
And, again, the "Intellgencer' is mistaken in it's
account Of the original articles. There is no contra
dction in the articles themselves as the "Intelgen-
Ger" seems to suppose-thc last articles only cor
recting the mistakes circulated about the former. The
"Intelgencer" even misquotes, because it mutlates
the first sentence of the article which, il seems has
produced so much excitement in England. The
"Ncw York Journal Of Commerce" had advanced
the strange proposition that title good up
40 degrees, and there failed We met that propo-
sition. Our article ran thus:
"TnE WHOLE OF OREGON OR NoNE-Ths is the
only alternative issue Of territorial right. We
wholly deny the break in the American title at lat-
tude 49o-we hold that our title from 400 to $40 40
is title and, we believe perfect title against
all the world. As the question has been discussed
for quarter century between and England, we
are not aware of one argument--scarcey of one
phrase purporting to be an argument-whch car
rres our title up to 49o and there stops We claim
matter of right the territory drained by the CO.
lumba river. In the view of the law of naiiors this
territory being unoccupied has its distinctive char
acter and unity one region in the fact that it is
so drained. And as one region, we either own it,
or we do not own it.
"Away, then, once for all, with such nonsense as
the claim of England north Of 400 is better than our
caimp Let US at least know clearly, and state ac-
curaely, what do in this matter. Ifit have ever
been deemed erpedent as matter Of compromise, and
to hush up dispute) TO give away to England
certain portion Of that land all of which consider
ours if, from any other motives Of national
menf, it may have been deemed wise to compromise
the question possession, let say so, and put our
past action on that ground. But let us make no at
Tempt to cloak policy under pretended inferior
ity Of our title to the land so sacrificed. No such
pretcnce can save U.S."

About to leave Washington for few days, to
hold to our new home, so that we may no longer
feel as stranger within its gates, cannot depart
without congratulaiing the country the final con-
summation of that great measure of state--the an
nexation Of Texas
The Senate this day, passed the joint resolutions
from the House, without amendment or alteration,
by vote of thirty-one to thirteen.
MIR. Webster, without attempting to oppose
their passage, briefly explained his position, and
gave his reasons for voting against them; and
Mr. Huntington, from Connecticut, entered at
greater length into a speech in opposition
Messrs. Mics, Bagby, and Berrien EACH also, made
a few remarks upon their votes in favor Of the
resolutions. Both countries appear to have acted
with unexampled prompuude in the arrangements
for Texas has not only presented her constitution
within the time specified by the resolutions of the
last Congress, but the United States have sealed il
with their formal appreciation, and stand ready to
welcome her senators and representatives in the halls
of Congress.
This most important measure has been CONSUME
mated under the auspices of the present admnstrl-
ton in the true spirit of the age, without compul-
sion, by the voluntary consent of the people of the
two republics II is the first of the admirable results
which are destined to grow out of their line ofpolicy
people of the Union will accord to it the praise of
wisdom and patriotism which few, at this day, de-
ny to the acquisition Of Louisiana.
