We have despatched a cory this trial, and have or: to bring intelligence of its progress, for the evening ind morning editions of the Herald. ‘This trial wil be deeply intere-ting, and we have made arrange- ments to give a full-r and more accurate report than any of our cotemporaries. For several days, we have breakfasted on horrors—and for several to come, it will be so. Tak Lona [stanp Mt —A full account of this tragedy will be found on our first page. of reporters to attend two expresses per day, he extraordinary letters and 8 miserable, misguided man, written in prison, will be found on ourfirst page. Cou. Wens’s Case.—We gave in our yesterday’s paper a full report of the arraignment, pleading and imprisonment of Mr. Webb, on the duel indictment. If Colt’s strange and mysterious end had not taken place about this time, Webb would have beena leading subject in the public mind. As it is, he must take a subordinate part. Only bis particular friends attend to him, and as we are one of them, we beg tousk every humane person to come into our office to-day and sign the following petition:— To His Excetiescy, Wittiam H Sewanv, Governor or THe State or New Yorn. The undersigned would respectfully represent, that whereas J. Watson Webb. r of the New York Cou- rier and Enquirer, has pleaded enilty to an indictment for leaving the State with the intent to accept, and for ac cepting a challenge to fight aduel with the Hon. T. F Marshall, and is now in p:ison awaiting the sentence of ; ‘and believing that the case is one justly claim- »mency of the Executive, we do most respect- sk the interposition of your Excellency, and that you may be pleased to grant the ssid Webb a full end un- conditional pardon. Yesterday Col. Webb spent a tolerably pleasant time in prison. A number/of his friends called upon him—talked over his case—and cheered up his spirits. He fought all his battles o’er again. If we can, we shall also visit him to-day—but if our spirits should be too low forthat effort of friend- ship, we request Governor Gilbert Davis, corner of William street and Pine, to send him half a dozen of his best champagne, and Henriques, 51 William street, to dispatch a hundred of his best segars to our old friend and fellow sufferer, and to send their bills to us for payment this day. ‘ For auld Jing syne,” in spite of all his .‘‘sayings and doings,” against us, we shall be busy all day in getting sig- natures to the petition. Poor Webb must be par- doned, and no mistake. Tue Many Rocers’ Mystery —We gave in our paper of yesterday a full report of the Police examina- tion which took vlace on Saturdayat Hoboken, rela- tive to the murder of Mary Rogers,from which it ap- pears that the following story published in the Tri- bune, is all falsehood, and absolute tabrication :— [From the Tribune, Mys~ery Expiainen.—The terrible mystery, whic! ethan @ year has hung over the fate of Mary Rogers, whose body was found, as our readers will well remember, in the North River, under circum- stances such as ccnvinced every one that she was the vie. tim of violence and then of murder, is at last explained— to the satisfaction we doubt not, of all It may be recol- lected, that associated with the tale of her disappearance, w sthe nameof Mrs. Loss, the woman who kept the re- freshment house nearest the scene of her death. About a fortnight since—as we have already stated—this woman was accidentally wound:d hy the premature discharge of agun in the hands of her son; the wound proved fatal ; before she died she sent for Justice Merritt, of New Jer- sey, and told him the following facts :—On the Sunday of of Miss Rogers’ disappearance, shecame to her house from this city in company with @ young pbysician, who undertook to procure for her a premature delivery. While in the hands of the physician she died, and a consultation was then held as to the disposal of her body. I’ was finally taken at night ly the son of Mrs. Loes, and sunk in the river where it was found. Her clothes were first tied up in a bundle, and sunk ina pond on the land of Mr. James G. King in that neighborhood; but it was afterward thought they were not safe thers, and ¢ © accord: ingly taken and scattered through the woods as they were found. The name of the physician ie unknown to us, nor do we know whetner it was divulged or not. The Mayor has been mate acquainted with these facts by Mr. Merritt, and we douft not an immediate inquiry after the guilty wretch willbe made. The ton of Mra. Loas asan ac- cessary a ter the fact,we suppose will be, if he hasnot al- ready been, arrested. No doubt, we apprehend, can be en- tertained of the truth of this corfession. It explains many things connected with the affair,which before were wrap- ped in mystery—especially the apathy of the mother of Miss Rogers upon the discovery of herbody. It will be remembered that she did not even go to indentify it, and iade no inqniries ¢ ncerning the affair. ‘Thus has this fearful mystery, which has struck fear and terror toso many hearts, been at last explained by circumstances in which no one can failto perceive a Pro vidential agency. Besides the guilty murderer, the sc- cret rested with two persons. One of these, through the involuntary agency of the other, is laid upon her death bed—and then Conscience, ne longer able to keep si- lence, breathes its accusation into the ear of Justice. Of all this wonderful development, not one word is true. It seems to have been manuf: ctured in the same way that the other statements in the Tribune are got up—to serve some dirty purpose. The fol- lowing is in addition to the evidence we gave yester- day:— Death of Mary Fogers, I noticed a statement inthe “ Tribune” of this mornin, relative to a confession said to have been made before me, by the late Mrs Loss, which is entirely incorrect, as no such examination took place, nor could it, from the deran- ged state of Mra. Loss’s mind. Respectfully Yours, GILBERT MERRITT. Hoboken, Nov. 18, 1942. Bat it is due to the public to say, that, although the “ mystery” thus developed in the Tribune is u- terly without foundation, there isa‘ mystery” which we have fathomed, and which we can give at the proper time. To say more at present might defeat the ends of justice—to say less would have encour- aged the imbecile, blundering beings of the Tri- bune, to go onin their ridiculous fabrications about a matter that they cannot know, and cannot appre- ciate. Tur Weatner.—Yesterday was not so cold aday as Friday and Saturday. The wind has moderated, and a good deal of ice was probably made last night in consequence. The cannls cannot remain open long with such weather. However, this is about the period for them to close. More or tHe Wearaek—Amrivats or Tue Matrs.—After remaining two days without any news from the east, we received a mail from there last night. It was brought by the Massachusetts, Captain Comstock, and we are much indebted to Harnden & Co, for the immediate delivery of our papers, and also to Adams & Co. It appears that the heavy blow we experienced in this city on Friday and Saturday nights, was very severe in the Sound. The wind blew so violently that the steamers New Haven and Rhode Island, wit) passengers who left Boston on Friday, were compelled that night to put into New London, whence several gentlemen left there and came on by the way of New Haven, arriving here late yester- day afternoon. And the Massachusetts, which left Stonington on Saturday afternoon, went ashore somewhere in the night, which detained her about ten hours behind her time. She, however, sustain- ed no material damage, and will leave again this afternoon on her return trip. As these mishaps knocked the arrangements of the steamer into a cocked hat, no boat left this city till yesterday after- noon, for the east, when the Mohegan started. All we find in our papers is, that the storm extend- ed as far east as Portland. We take from the “Ar- sus” of that city, of the 18th inst,, the following relative thereto :— “The severest rain storm ot the season commen- ced here last evening, with the wind blewing a gale iy the east, and continued without abatement phis norning. We have heard of no damage yet, bat there is cause to apprehend some disasters to paeire she coast, ‘The Portland went out last evening, but was compelled to return in consequence if the severity of the storm.

Cour.—The agi- tation in the community isincreasing every moment in relation to the mysterious juggle that was perpe- trated at the Egyptian Tombs on Friday last, by which the ends of justice were defeated, the majesty of the law made a miserable mockery of, and the poor unfortunate wretch himself died a more horri- ble, revolting and disgraceful death than even had he perished by the hands of the common hangman The whole community, as with one voice, cry out “ Shameful,” “ Di-graceful,” in regard to the shocking negligence which brought about this dis graceful result; and they demand that those who neglected or violated their duty in the matter, should be speedily and properly punished. In this most revolting affair, from first to last, judge Kent, Mr. Whiting, the Jury who tried Colt» Governor Seward, the Judges of the Supreme Court, the Chancellor, and Colonel Jones, the keeper of the City Prison, deserve great prais*, and will have the unceasing thanks and respect of their fellow citizens, for theirstern integrity and determi- nation, at all hazards, and under all influences support the integrity and majesty of the law see the ends of justice carried out. How does their conduct contrast with that of Sheriff Hart? Let him walk round among his fellow citizens, and get the answer; and hear the universal cry of condem- nation against him for gross negligence in not pre- venting the prisoner from rushing into the presence ot his Maker unbidden. Disguise the matter as we may, he is morally an accessory to the self-murder of that poor wretch ! If he believed, as he said, that Colt had made this peace with God, was prepared to die as a Christian, ‘ and felt sure of his eternal salvation, through the atonement of the Savior of Men, why, it was ten- fold more incumbent on him to watch Colt narrow- ly, and see that he did not condemn his soul to eternal infamy by committing self-murder. Now, then, how did he act? He never searched Colt's cell—he never searched his person—he never hid those persons searched who went in to see Colt. A hundred weapons of destruction might have been given to Colt, on account of the Sheriff's negli- gence, and yet under all these eircumstances he was left alone for one hour and twenty-five minutes be- fore the hour he was to be executed. The Sheriff knew that Colt had meditated suicide —he knew (for it was published inthis paper on Thursday) that Colt had askd to borrow works on anatomy, for the express purpose of learning how to kill himself quickly, and had asked the doctor of the prison to point out those arteries which, when cut, would most readily destroy lite. He knew that Colt or his friends were determined to prevent his being hung, if any earthly means in their power would prevent it; he knewthat they had attempted to bribe three deputy keepers, and even tried to bribe his own deputy sheriff, Vultee, with $500; which, when he found Vultee incorruptible, he gave to Caroline Henshaw with so much parade. He knew that the prisoner at 2 o’clock in the after- noon of that fatal day had begged him to refuse to perform his duty, and let the hour pass by without hanging him ; even going so far as to tell the She- riff that if the mob in their rage and vengeance should tear down his house, that he would have an- other house given him, and be amply remunerated for all he might lose. And yet, in the face of all this, he allows him to be alone for the last hour and ahalf; whilst with the 30 persons in the jail it was common talk that Co't would never be hung, but commit suicide. And the tone and temper of Colt’s mind at half past two o’clock might easily be seen. When the Sheriff and Hillyer went to see him, he said angrily, “I thought I was to be left alone till four ; I thought you pledged your word to me that I should not be disturbed by any one on any pre- tence, before four o’clock.” And yet he was left alone. The violated majesty of the law, and the outraged feelings of the public, demand a full and thorough, and impartial investigation of the whole affair; and we trust that both the Common Council and the Governor will enter upon the task without delay. ‘Theatrical. z Park TuEatre Opera.—The old opera of Acis and Galatea is to be given to-night at the Park for the benefit of Seguin. The “Israelites” have got over the Red Sea ; but although they took as many of the silver vessels of the Egyptians as they could get, they lost many of them in the waves crossing over. Badinage apart—this splendid opera has paid, butno more. The reason is, that fashionable peo- ple have no money to spend for cab or hack hire to go totheatre’s. If it were considered genteel to walk to the theatre, more people might go—but hack hire is more than the price of tickets. ‘Eo0nb- pe made wondrous strides in these days. After a benefit or two, the company goes to Philadelphia, where they will probably fare much the same. Tue Bowsry.—Empty benchespmnneipally. .

Yesterday there was not a case of the least public in- terest transpired at either of the Police, or the Coroner's office, that was in a proper condition for publication. Common Councit.—Both boards meet this evening at 5 o’clock in their respective chambers in the City Hall, when doubtless some measures will be taken to cause a full investigation to be made into the cause of the burning ofthe cupola on the Halls of Justice on Friday, and the other marvellous and strange things that happened about the Tombs on that eventful day, in order to allay the ex- citement that exists on those matters to so great an extent throughout thecity. Fink —A fire occurred yesterday morning about three o’clock, ina frame building occupied by several families, in the rear of Seventeenth street, near the 8th Avenu which ‘onsumed the building where it originated,and two others of a similar description adjoining, before it was ex- tinguished, Exrtanxation.—The G.

Supertor Court, Before Jndge Oakley. —Henry Dwight, jr., vs. award Flanagan.— an action to recover the amount of two checks of $200 upon the Merchants’ Bank. It seems that a note of Lake, Brothers, for $496 dollars, endorsed by defendant, had been deposited by him in the hands of Wm. B. Jesup, abroker, and the sum of $200 loane!to him thereot taking these checks as memoranda forthe amount ened These checks and also the note were afterwards transfer- red to Edward M Morgan, Jesup’s uncle, who passed away she note before due to one Atwater, who had reco- vered thereon, and the checks to the plaintiff. The plain- tif's witness (Edward M. Morgan) was in direct collision in his testimony with Jesup, and contradicted by the other witnesses in many important particulars, The Judge charged the jury that it was quite apparent Jesup could not sue the checks unless he cancelled the an‘ no third person could stand in any better condi- unless he could show how he came by them. Mor- an’s right to recover depended upon two grounds—Ist, whether he took the checks without knowledge of the cir- cumstances under which they were given, and without good reason to suspect any thing wrong ; and here there a most serious discrepancy between the testimony of Jesup and Morgan and the other witnesses, Even if you should find that Morgan took the check fairly and with- out knowledge {rom Jesup, a second and further question arises for you te consider, whethe~ Jesup was not the mere ent of Morgan ; in which case the law charges Morgan with his knowledge. The plaintiff could not recover un- less he took thech: cks innocently and for valuable consi- deration, and even if you should find affirmatively on this point, still if Morgan was the it of the plaintiff, the same principle of law charging him with knowledge of his agent would prevail. It not clearly appear what his agency was in respect to plaintiff. He swea s heopera- ted with the plaintiffs funds, and realized his profit from the sale to Jesup of uncurrent money, (prin- cipally of the Housatonic Rail Road Company) re- ceiving back current funds, and this he states was for his own benefit, If this was so, a curious question aris what benefit the plaintiff jo receive {rom these tran- sactions.

Dear Generan :— Isee that some of the Clay papers are spreading athe report, and rejoicing over it, that the New York Herald is to die—to follow the way of many other papers. Notbelieving that adiscerning public would fet a paper conducted with the ability which marks the columns of the Herald, suffer for want of patron- age, 1 set down the report as originating with that prince of humbugs, Webb, of the Courier, and utter- ly without foundation. Our latest news of moment is that Mr. Buchanan (or his agent) has been to see Little Martin, and that he will throw the vote of Pennsylvanian for him for the consideration that Manin pledges New York for him at the expiration of a tour yearsterm. The large majority which New York has given, hasreviv- ed the hopes of Martin's triends in this State, and destreyed Mr. Buchanan’s prospects of a nomination {tis now generally conceded that Martin will get Ohio and New York to start with, which may ac- count for the early bargain between him and Mr. B., the truth of which I have not heard doubted. Per- haps Mr. B. may have visited him on other business, and the transfer of his friends to Martin. a mere in- vention of the Cass men, who are raising in strength. At least [have no doubt this will be said of it. But, | believe, there are few whe do not know, or who have not Neard, that to Mr. Van Buren he owes his appointment as Mivister to Russia, as it was well known that Gen, Jackson never could hear his name mentioned with complacency after his contradic- tion of the General in the matter relating to Clay’s offering to throw hia strength a certain way upon certain conditiony, conveyed to the General by Mr. Buchanan. . The movement in fayor of Gen. Cass, at this place, is headed by the principal friends of the administra- tion, and will receive the sanction of nearly all who possess friendship for Gov. Porter. There isa con- siderable feud between the personal friends of Por- ter and Buchanan, the latter attributing all opposi- tion to his claims to the former, whom he hasan idea wishes to be on the ticket for Vice President with Gen. Cass. ‘This bad feeling may defeat his election to the United States Senate. It is also said that as he is a candidate for the Presidency, it is little to ask for the United States Senate, and that whoever is elected President, that he would not give him his suy port as United States Senator, unless he had the control of all the loaves and fishes to be given to Pennsylvania. a : Mr. Clay’s prospects are dull. His friends are in despair. Gen, Scott killed himself off with his creed. Col. Johnson is going ahead; and President Ty- ler’s prospects are as good as any of the candidates Our money isin a bad condition. Nothing but State scrip, which dealers are obliged to take at par, and suffer a shave in the city of ten or fifteen per cent. Ihave not heard of any plan by which we are to be benefitted yet suggested—unless this is one, to pay no interest, no debts of any kind, except those necessary to carry on the government, call in the scrip, and allow banks to issue small notes, re- deemable in silver. All the stocks belonging to the State are to be sold in a few days, by which a few thousands will be raised. No one thinks of levying additional taxes, _ A arog effort will be made to have a law passed for the sale of our improvements, and as it will pro- bably be made a political question, it may be car- ried. The o-gan of the neh anan, PSY. was out, some time ago, in favor ot asale, and Judze Champ ney, Senator from Lancaster, is reported to go into the Senate, charged to the brim for a sale.

James Gorpon Benner, Esq., LL. D. Sm— Dayton isthe most interesting and important city in the west. Is is the focus of attraction—the grand centre around which all the other towns and cities in the State revolve as mere satellites. Cincinnati, Columbus, Zanesville, Cleveland, are no places in comparison. Here we have every thing that is grand, and great, and glorious, and funny, and ridi- culous. Here the great political gladiators of the nation meet and fight, and here the mighty popula- tion of the great west have twice congregated, like sands on the sea shore, in multitudes, to deliberate insolemn council upon the affairs of this great na- tion, and then returned horse and published to the world, through the ballot boxes, the result of their deliberations. ‘i a Montgomery county, during the last political campaign, was the great battle ground, and the mightiest men in the nation displayed their prowess on thistheatre. Clay, Crittenden, Brough, Corwin, Allen,»nd a host of other master spirits, came here to assist their respective parties in the fierce struggle for ascendency in the county. The contest was a close one, the parties being so nearly cay. divi- ded that some of both sides were elected. The big fandango, held by the whigs on the 29th September, surpassed anvthing ever witnessed in the United States. Not less than two hundred thou- sand were present on the occasion. Language would totally fail to describe it; and as it has frequently been attempted, [shall forbear to try it. The excite- ment between that day and the day of the election was tremendous. After the demonstrations on the 29th, no one doubted but thatthe whigs would carry the State by an overwhelming majority. The re- sult struck the whigs dumb, and astonished even the democrats. The excitement has now entirely sub- sided, and politics are hardly ever mentioned, ex oF by the demagogues who live byit. = _ Our court is now in session, and much dissatisfac- tion is manifested by the members of the bar in re- lation to thé conduct of Judge Helfenstien. He is the president judge in the district, and for two terms in succession has absented himself from his post of duty, compelling the lawyers to continue nearly all their cases for sixand nine months. The interests of the suitors are wholly disregarded, and many will suffer an entire loss of the amount of their claims in consequence of the delay. In the meantime, the Judge has been travelling abou:, the eas cities and the capitol of the Union, for what pur- puse he has not thought proper to inform us, though it ig strongly suspected by some that he has been fishing for an appointmentfrom the Captain. He is now thirty miles north of this, attending to business of a private character, while his official duties are wholly neglected by hin. His conduct, in my opin- ion, is highly reprehensible. We havea very large bar here, consisting of many men of a high order of talent. ‘The most succeseful practitioner is P. P. Lowe, Esq. He has more bn- siness than any otner member, and has risen, in this een to the top of his profession, in a manner high- ly creditable to himself. He came here some fi‘teen or twenty years ago, a poor boy. almost without education,and by dint ef hard application and untiring perseverance, and industry, has accumulated a large fortune, and it isnow pesiee that he will likely be the next candi for Congress, in this district, on the democratic side. Then there is Judge Holt, on the same side of. pplidoe: He is an old lawyer, a willno doubt fill the place of Judge Helfenstein, whose term of office expires this winter. On the other side are Judge Crane, the oldest member of the bar, and his partner, E. W. Davis, one of the finest looking, geutlemanly men, and dignified speakers in the profession. Then there are R. C. Schenck, and his partner P. Odlin, Esq.,a man of excellent talents, H. 8. Stoddard, C, Anderson, and many others, too numerous to mention. Among the most wealthy and enterprising of our business men, actively engaged in this pl+ce are, William Eaker, the richest democrat in Ohio, D: Phillips, son of the old millionaire; Este, one of the smallest and smartest men in town; John Rench, the most energetic business man in the place 3oVs Winters, F. Gebhart, Herman, Messrs, Perrines, Brown & Sons, Parrotts, Brady, Swain & Demarist, H. Pease, S. Shoup, Roth, i L. Brown, and a number of others. J. O. Shoup and Dorson Ed- wards constitute our entire stock of money brokers. ‘The former does his business in that line in a private way, but the latter has recently opened a shop on Third str-et. He recently had oceular demonstra- tion that his business was not of the most popular pet tee race. P Religion flourishes here in a high degree.

In the way of natural and egricultural curiosities in Dayton, we have a few Berkshires and Durhams that would take the premiom at any agricultural fair in the republic. This is a great agricultural town—the centre of Ohio, Business is reviving here a little, and some of our merchants have brought on large stocks of goods. Money is still scarce, and provisions remarkably abundant and cheap. Great anxiety is manifested in relation to the course the Democratic Legislature of Ohio will pursue at their next session in regard to the currency question, There is no absolute cer- tainty as to what it willbe. They have it in their power now, by a judicious disposition of this ques- tion, to establish themselves permanently in this State. Izzarp. Baltimore, {Correspondence of the Herald.} Bautrmorg, Nov. 18, 1842. Scduction—Firemens’ Ball—Private Soiree, §c. Dean Bennetr:— y We are rather at a loss here for local news. The only thing that has excited any talk here, is the at- tempted seduction of a youthful virgin of George town, by a clerk in one of the Government offices, which I suppose some of your District correspon- dents will advise you of. We have had a rainy spell of it for the last three or four days, However, last night, the wind chop- ped round to N. W., and has blown the rain and clouds to the devil, or some equally unknown coun- try. \ To-night commences a series of firemens’ balls, which will open rich—for the one to-night will be brilliant. Amongst the managers we notice the names of J_ J. Cohen and Andrew E. Warren, which is sufficient guarantee for the respectability of the affair. I shall be there, and will give you a graphic report of the whole affair, including the ladies, firemen, the music, the pickled oysters, and the different dances, trom the Spanish cachucha to the Hottentot shuftie. d There is a private party to come off to-night, given in honor of Mr. Moffit, (a son of the Profes- sor’s,) which will be on a pretty extensive scale am sorry that I cannot be there—the ball is a public affair, and perhaps is better enti'led to public notice. Forrest opened at Front street on aineaney tight, but theatricals are at such a low ebb in Baltimore, that I have not troubled myself to go see him.

The world is familiar with the bursting of cannon, the blowiny upof steamboats, the murder of wives, deaths by ‘Rood, field and fire, and all the thousand forms that casualties ssume.

The stock of the Stateof Ohio, although that is one of the richest States of the Union, stands very low in the market, say 71 cts, for a6 per cent. stock. The cause of this low price seems to be some misapprehension of the ex- isting laws relative to the State debt. An act was passed in March, 1942, authorizing the Fund Commissioners to go to the market dnd sell so much “ foreign stock,” at the “west possible terms,” as would produce the sum of $500,000 after which “no more stock on which the interest is pay able out of the State, wasto beissued oc sold.” The same act also authorized the Commissioners, in order to pay contractors, and complete the unfinished works, to nego- ciate a loan, principal and interest 6 percent, payable at the State Treasury ; and in default of the negotiation of this stock, to issue instend 6 per cent bonds to the contrac- tors. The stock was not negotiated, and the bonds were consequently issued to the extent of $340,000, of which $41,000 have been redeemed. The ill success of hese measures induced at the extra session the proposition to issue a 10 per cent loan, interest and principal payable 1 the State Treasury ; and in addition to allow the Com. missioners, if they deemed it necessary, to go into the for- cign market on the best possible terms ; thus contravening <aenamnes
