LATEST ENGLISH INTELLIGENCE.

By the arrival of the Timbo , from Port Phillip, we have received files of the latest English, Irish, and Scotch journals. The English journals contain little of importance, with the exception of parliamentary movements, ministerial appointment, state of the country, which we regret to say was in a very distressed state, and foreign intelligence, part of which we extract, and insert below. In our next we intend to insert the speech of Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons on the 16th September last, on the course he intended to pursue during the Session.
