News From Evrorr.— We shall probably ree: fifteen days later news from Europe early this morn- It will be brought by the Columbia, due yes- ferlay ar Boston. Her news will be interesting Prize Fiowrers any Panpons.—It appears that there are some efforts making in certain quarters, in order to obtaina pardon from Gov. Bouck, for the prize fighters recently convicted at Westchester. Upon a general reflection of all the matters con- nected with this affair, upoa the gross outrage com- mitted upon the laws and usages of society, and hav- ing seen the bad results of the recent pardon in Webb's case, we begin to think that the exercise of the pardoning power is almost always hurtful in its results, and that the granting of a pardon in the present case is altogether out of the question. Now, let us look at the ease of Col. Webb. He was sentenced for two years to the State Prison, and thereby deprived of all his civil rights and pri- vileges. By a great deal of drumming up anddown, and the exercise of a powerful influence, a pardon for him was obtained from Gov. Seward, who has usually shown himself so very firm when all simi- lar applications have been made to him. In giving this pardon, Governor Seward gives a great deal of advice to Webb, as to his future course of life. Has it had any good effect upon him? Has it made him a better citizen? Has it improved his manners? Has it harmonized his mind? Has it had any ame- liorating effect upon the journal under his charge % Notin the slightest'degree. On the contrary, since hispardon, we have seen the Chief Magistrate of the country repeatedly abused in that paper in the most shameful manner—called a wretch, a traiter, and a score*of other opprobrious names ; and not only that, but violent attacks made on innocent, unoflending, and helpless females. We need but particularize the case of Mrs. Parlin. h has been the effect of one mistaken act of clemency. In the case of the prize fighters, it would lead to the worst results. Every ruffian in the city would be practising pugilism—sitting in a low groggery, with a ring in it, and corrupting the morals of half the young men in the city. This man, Sullivan, had begun this game just before the last fatal fight. In his ease we see no ground for a He was banished from England tor some such offence—he escaped from Botany Bay to this country, and he has been the founder of all the pardon. prize fight rowdyism that has corrupted the city for the last year or two, and which threatened such evil consequene On this account, therefore, the sentence of the Court should be carried into effect, as wellasforthe honor and dignity ‘of the Court, and the preservation of the laws. The morbid philanthropy and miserable sensibility that would enlist in (avor of these men, 1s all wrong. The only way to keep society together and preserve the purity of justice, and the safety of innocent men, is to punish all offenders agamst the law, from the highest to the lowest. Look at the riots we have had in this city. There would have been no- repetition of them if the first offenders had been punished. Look at the conduct ot Webb, after causing the death of one member of Congress, and shooting at another. When he was put in jail for it, he looked on it as a sort of tashion- able adventure in the Tombs, held his levee daily with his black servant behind him, and received the visits of those who call themselves fashionable so- ciety, such as Charles A. Davis, alias Major Jack Downing, and others, who lay claim to all the re- spectability and decency, and therefore claim to be above all the laws that were made to punish rowdyism, whether fashionable or otherw An attempt is to be made to get Sullivan par- doned, beeause he and his band are useful to the This is most preposterous, to attempt to bring polities into it. For here we have a set of prize fighters connected with each political party, that throw the city into confusion at our elections, and disgrace it at home aud abroad. The whole system is wrong, and ought to be breken up; which it never can be unless those at present in the hands of justice receive the full punishment awarded to them locofocos Musical—Theatrical, : Messas. Branam give a farewell Concert, before their sojourn South, on Tuesday, next week, atthe Society Library Rooms: Mr. Charles Bra- ham has improved remarkably since his last appear- ance—Mr. Braham, the elder, is the same magnifi- cent vocalist that he ever was. Max Bonner left town for Philadelphia yesterday, by the Railroad train. He proceeds towards New Orleans, Havana, may visit Mexico, and then return to Europe by this route. He is the greatest artist on the violiacello that ever was heard in this coun- try. Bowery Trearre.—This concern is again in a fog—covered with debt and mortgages, as Coney island is covered with clams—and old floatwood with barnacles. Snowden, the ‘Ladies Compan- ion” man, has a mortgage on the building and ward- robe for $26,000. Hamblin owns the soil. Snow- den was induced todipso deep in the Bowery, in consequence éf having the run of the green-room, isa sort of premium for advances. It is now said that Tom Flynn is going to lease the Bowery—and Tom isa bustling, good natured, comical fellow, with some tact and sagacity. Hamblin was all tragedy, iinpudence, humbug and assumption, and never coud succeed. Cuatuam Tueatre.—The grand romantic drama of ‘Norman Leslie,” will be performed on Monday evening in splendid style, with new scenery, deco- rations, &c., and witha powerful cast of characters. Mr. J. R. Scott sustains the part of Norman Leslie, and all who are acquainted with that gentleman’s superior powers and abilities, must be convinced ef the excellence with which he will portray the character of the unfortunate Leslie. A favorite faree, in which Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins appear, will conclude the evening’s ente} nts, Massacuuserrs Leeistature.—It appears by the returns that the democrats will have a majority of three in the House, five in the Senate and eight in joint ballot. If these be correct the election of Marcus Morton is secured Dreapru. Swirwreck.—We learn that the new bark Isidore, Captain Foss, sailed from Kennebunk Mong or Duets anv Dueiiine—Wee AND SHALL Boru INpIcTED.—It seems that Col. Webb and the Hon. Thomas F. Marshall,’member of Congress trom Kentucky, are likely to meet with sharp shoot- ing fromall quarters. It will be remembered that they fought on the line that runs between the State of Delaware and the State of Pennsylvania, ata place called Neeman’s Creek. Webb stood in Neweas- tle county, Delaware, and Marshall stood in Dela- ware county, Pennsylvania. The Grand Jury of Neweastle nty have indicted both Webb and Marshall, for fighting a duel; and the Grand Jury of Delaware county have indicted Marshall also, but not Webb. Thus Webb has been indicted in | two States, been punished in one, and most proba- j bly will be punished in the other. And Marshall has been indicted also in two States, for violating the express provisions of a statute in each of those States. ‘aking up the ease of only one of the indict- ments—that in Delaware—it will be seen that this movement, as far as Marshall is concerned, will form a very remarkable and curious case—one of the most so, probably, thatever came before a judi- cial tribunal. In the first place, then, the Governor of Delaware is bound to call, first on the Governor of Kentucky, for the body of the said Marshall to be delivered up to him; to that requisition the Gover- nor returns that he is not within his jurisdiction, ha- ving gone to Washington to attend to his duties as member of Congress. The Governor of Delaware, of course, then applies to the Governor or Execu- tive of the District of Columbia, to deliver up Mar- shall. The Executive of the District is the Presi- dent himself, and a demand will be made on him to give up a member of Congress. This, of course, will seem to some to bring up the question of the parliamentary privileges possessed by a member of Congress ; but it is well settled Jaw that this privi- lege only extends to civil actions,’ and cannot im- pede for a moment the process of law in a criminal case. The President, therefore, will have to cause Marshall to be arrested for a criminal offence, and handed over to the officer sent by the Governor of Delaware, to take him to that State to be tried for the crime. And here seems to be the extraordinary aspect of the affair. Here isa little State, which witha good running jump, one could almost leap over, calling on the President of this great Union to give up a member of Congress ; and that President bound by his oath of office to give him up, the more so, be- cause there isa law in that very District of Colum- bia, making duelling a criminal offence. The same reasoning will apply to the proceed- ings in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, relative to Marshall. It is a parallel case to that in Neweastle county, andthe saine process must be resorted to. — These proceedings ef the two States will create a great sensation in Congress, but no movement on the part of that body can prevent the execution of the laws of these Sovereign States, and we presume that none will be attempted. As for Webb, his pardon ‘does not seem tgdave mollified him, or sabdued his terrible temper and belligerant habits, in the least. For now, instead of quarrelling with men, and challenging and trying to get up a fight with members of Congress, he has commenced a savage fight with a beautiful woman. It is true that his pardon had no reference in it to his fighting a duel with a woman ; he got clear of the State Prison, upon condition that hereafter he should not pick a quarrel or try to get up a fight with any man ; and because Governor Seward, in his hurry to get his friend Webb out of jail, forgot to add the words, or woman either,” Webb has taken advantage of the ‘omission, and come out in his paper with a ferocious attack upon Mrs Par- lin, of Rhode Island, a beautiful saffrage heroine, belabors her unmercitully, says she is no better than she should be, and declares that she is going to be divorced from her husband, when she has no intention to do so, nor the least desire to be divor- ced. This is worse than kicking the 100 segars into the street. We really cannot see what is to be done in this matter. Atany rate, we trast that after poor Webb has been tried and sentenced in Delaware, for the duel, and the Governor of that Itttle State makes out his pardon, that he will supply the omission of Gov. Seward, and expressly prohibit Webb from trying to get up a fight with any man or woman ei- ther. Suockine Accipent.—Francis P.,daughter of Pe- ter C.

City Intelligence, Tre Genenat Sessions of the present term,commencing to-morrow, will be occupied during its session with the de- faication cases of John Ahern, late Mayor’s clerk, and James H. Ward, late First Marshal. Their conduct in the long continued robberies of the public treasury will show corruption, dishonesty and black ingratitude at its fonntain head; and strange to say,the sympathies of many men of the party that those culprits have disgraced, are #0 keenly exercised, from some unknown causes, that they ere loud mouthed in their attempts to smother that public indignation that should always condemn dishonest public servants. ‘Twat Curoa onthe Tombs, that was injured by fireon the day that Colt was to have been executed, will be a subject of debate before the Common Council on Monday night. The question whether it shall be rebuilt or not, will be the subject of controversy, and enquiries should be also made inte the cause ofthe fire, as wellas the con- duct of the bell ringer who had charge of the cupola.

The places occupied by James Palmer, police justice, William Calendar, police clerk, and Peter See, clerk of the Sth, 8th, and lath wards, were vacated by term of appointment, jon the 19th of No vember, and re-appointments must take place at this meeting.

On Friday evening, about 12 o'clock, us Mr-Thomas Cumming’s of 21 Scammel street. was going home, he stepped into his stable at the corner of the street, where he resides, at East Broadway, to feed his horse, but found the animal in the yar@, and another animal in the shape of aman preparing to ride the horse out of the premises.

New Coalition—Senate Debates on the Treaty — Mr. Webster—Exchequer, &. Nothing of much importance has occurred here since the date of my last letter, and only one or two additional members have arrived, owing to a heavy snow storm that we had here yes terday, which has obstructed the travel so much between Baltimore and Philadelphia that no mail has been received north of the former city since yesterday morning. The city is still quiet. The ondit which L referred to in my letter of Tuesday, that a new coalition is about being formed between Mr. Tyler and the whigs, appears to be gaining ground, and has receiv- ed a sort of o'Scial endorsement from an article in yesterday’s Madiosians, Which states that some. twenty or oaiey “Republican whig” members of Congress, who have been misled heretofore with re- gard to the President’s views, have resolved to do him justice, The publication of the proceedings of the Senate on the recent treaty with Great Britain, has given rise to some Sarabe speculations here as to the mo- tives that probably governed certain Senators in vo- ting for the treaty, and against some prepositions offered by Mr. Benton, having in view the protec- tion of southern interests. In treaty as ratified, no proposition whatever is made, I believe, for meet- ing cases like that of the Greole,which may hereaf- ter occur, and some persons here are so mischevious as to insinuate that this very important matter was lett unsettled for the purpose of affording Mr. Web- ster an opportunity of paying a second visit to St. James. From the commencement of this negocia- tion, ithas been understood by the “knowing ones” Tbelieve that few of the questions in dispute would he leftin this situation that we might return the high courtesy which England has shown us in send- ing a special minister to our shores, by dispatching our “God-like” Secretary there in the spring, with a fine salary and handsome outfit,to pay his respects to the Queen, and settle all outsianding balanc State debts and all. This ulterioraim, indeed seems to have been understood by Lord Ashburten, as in replying to Mr. Webster's note, on the subject of im- provement. He intimates that the negociation on this point could be conducted better inbondon than here. § is difficult to understand why the Cre- ole question could not have been settled here as well as the right of search. Some legislation by Parliament, it is true, might have been necessary to enable the British Government to carry out any ar- rangement that might have been made on this sub- ject as was the case inFrance at the time the indem- nitytreaty was made; still this was not a matter for us to consider, and the only way in which we can account for this question being left unsettled is to suppose that the Hon. Secretary was convinced the English Ministry were disposed to adjust the matter in a way to suit us, but owing to the state of public feeling in England did not dare to comply with our demands at the time. Similar motives also. must have prompted Mr. Calhoun and his friends in vo- ting for the treaty, and against the amendment ofter- ed by Mr. Benton, proposing that a new article shouldbe inserted in the treaty, guaranteeing to American vessels, driven into British ports in dis- tress, the right of departing thence with all their per- sons and property, after repairing damage. . The war between the Globe and Madisonian con- tinues, and from the developments that are daily oc- curring, it isevident that the portion of the demo- cratic party which is represented by the Globe will take high and open ground in the approaching ses- sion against the administration. A long article ap- peared in the Globe yesterday morning, attacking the Exchequer scheme in the form in whicl it was reported by the committees of Congress. The de: ponte feature is peculiarly the object of attack, and fear if this portion of the bill should be retained that a strong opposition will be made to the whole measure by the banking interest of the country, as they fear the larger portion of their own deposites would be withdrawn to supply deposites for the Go- vernment institution.

Dear GeneraL :— Yesterday we had a snow storm, which prevent- edthe arrival of the cars from Philadelphia until about 114 o’clock at night, due at 44,P. M. The snow on an average, is about $ inches deep, and the prospect of fine sleighing first rate. A great many canal boats have been frozen up in the ice atdifler- ent places along the canal, laden with grain, coal, and merchandize. The stocks advertised tobe sold at the State-house, belonging to the State, were not sold for want of bids. Men from all parts of the State were in attendance, but did not feel disposed to bid more thana fourth of their actual value. I have not heard of any plan likely to be recommen- ded to the Legislature by the Governor for the pur- pose of raising means to pay the interest on our State debt. An increase of taxation, at present, our poli- ticians are afraid to recommend, or vote for. Our banks are in bad condition, having, generally, loan- ed their money to large speculators, whom they have to keep up for fear of loosing what they origi nally loaned, and our currency is consequently in as bad condition as it well can be. Perhaps the wise men who will assemble here in January, may find the means of relieving all our difficulti Several hundred copies more of your Herald, con- taining the proceedings of the Cass meeting, might have been sold at this place. notice you took of them and the certainty that they would be placed in the hands of hundreds of thousands of voters through the Herald, was very gratifying to the larze body of friends of the General, and itis generally conceded that whatever you take hold of must go ahead. In Pennsylvania Gen.Cass has many warm and active supporters, well skilled in the manage- ment of political affairs, who will exert all their in- fluence to carry the State for him. ‘They have the advantage of actingin harmony with those of Col. Johnson, who are composed of the mass of the peo- ple. Already preparations are making to establish a paper to advocate his claims,which will be printed onfine paper of the size of the Saturday Evening Post, and on new type. The first number will pro- bably be issued in January. i The friends ,of Mr. Buchanan are considerably alarmed about his re-election to the U. S. Senate, and not without good reason. If his friends persist in filling the office of Speaker with one of his fol- lowers, his chance of re-election will be extremely doubtful. It is supposed that they will run a Gen. McCulloh for Speaker of the House, and Judge Champueys for Speaker of the Senate, in which case there will be a beautiful blow up. Itis under- stood, also, they will advocate the sale of our im provements, and that it will be a leading measure with them. The meeting in favor of Mr. Van Buren, held in Philadelphia, will meet with no response in the country. Atno period was he popular in this State, and he cannot now be made se. ¥ i President ieee must be wide awake in making appointments from politicians in this State, or he will be much deceived. A loud-talking gentleman in this county wanted tobe appointed Secretary to the Indian commissioners, and to assist his preten- sions, got a few of his personal friends together,who passed some resolutions approving of the President's course, and the appointment of nee com- missioner. The next day news arrived of ‘the ap- pointment of Col. Gardner as Secretary, which was a terrible damper to our expectant. The best of it is that he was not known before the meeting, or since, to be favorable to Tyler. h The publishers of the demoeratic newspapers at this place, are in full chase after the public printing, two of whom have refused to publish (orat least have not, published) the proceedings of the Cass meeting, fearing that by so doing they may. offend Mr. Buchanan. The Keystone published this on its last page,among the advertisements. ‘The members receive pufls weekly, with the view of securing their votes. The Buchanan men hove got alittle ahead of the other parties in the matter of President, by calling a convention of themselves, to be held here on ihe Sth of J nuary next, at which itis now avowed de- legates are tabe appointed to the National Conven- lion. This is considered as taking time by the fore- lock, and in accordance with the spirit which de- nounces the Cass men as traitors to the party. ‘The Hon. Samuel D. ee has got into a con- troversy with Judge Ellis Lewis, about certain testi- mony delivered before the investigating committee of last session, and bids fair to come ofl second best. judge Lewis is perhaps the best read and most learned lawyer in Pennsylvania.

The Tariff—Duty ‘on Cotton, Iron, Coal, §c. Dear Sir:— We were rejoiced to see that Congress had so far and so unexpectedly redeemed its character as to enact a tariff,although the rates of duty imposed by that act are in many respects too high—so high in- deed as to be anti-commercial; yet they should not be given up for the encouragement of commerce with any other country, except on the condition of equivalent concessions on their part. The South have a much greater interest in the enlargement of the consuming capacities of the country consequent upon the general operation of the tariff, as a whole. or the country at large, though in the importation of some half dozen articles of foreign manufacture at cheaper rates than they may be had tor at home. The tariff, having become a law, puts it in the power of the government to force other countries to do us that justice, in regard to the conditions on which they receive our products which they have hitherto refused. We can now say to England and France, if you will admit our cotton free of duty, ina raw state, we will admit yours in a manufactured state, at diminished rates of-duty. Now is the time to make a favorable alteration in our tariff the condition of a free admission of our tobacco into European markets. With what propriety can England or France com. plain of our tariff duties on their manufactured pro- ducts, while the rare Feodncts of our country are charged by them at infinite} higher rates? England charges three shillings a pound en our to- bacco, andhas the hardihood to abuse us for the comparative low rate of ducy imposed on her cotton and woollen manufacturers. France charges two cents a pound on our cotton, about 25 per cent of its average value for sometime past, while she lashes herself into a passion because we impose the same rate of duty on manufactures of silk and other pro- duets, chiefly used by the higher classes. Can any thing be clearer than that it is fer the interest of the producers of cotton and tobacco to adhere to the tariff as it stands, till equivalents can be had in for- eign countries for concessions they may desire to make ? j Reduce the tariff,and they maywhistle for favora- ble alterations on this sidé the water. It should never for a moment be feta ren by any member of Congress that all the friendship professed for us in Europe is the friendship of interest. If we have firmness enough to adhere to our present tariff till we can obtain concessions in favor of our raw pro- ducts,fasa condition of any chai favorable to foreign manufactures, we may pride on being met on equitable ground—but not otherwise. _ We should insist on the admission of our cotton into every European market, free of duty. We should insist on a rer geet reduction of the duty at present imposed by England on our tobacco.— France cannot give up the manufacture of tobacco on government account; but she can be brought to abandon the culture of the article. We should be brought to stipulating for the admission of our lum- ber, in every form, at low rates of duty, if not en- tirely duty free, as an offset fora reduction of our charge on her wines. The same terms can be had of Portugal, of Spain and all the Italian States, where wood 1s scarce, and accordingly dear. We shall always be dependent on the south ‘vf Europe for our wines, and it so happens that all the coun- tries where wine is grown are in want of our staves, scantling, boards and other forms of lumber. But strange to tell, our goverument has as yet never made this most anes article of our products the subject of thought, much less of negotiation. — We might obtain too, the admission of our iron, machinery aud coal into the south of Europe on pri- vileged terms, acains concessions which we can well afford to make in favor of some of the peculiar natural products of those countries. _ repeat, now is time forthe government to nego- tiate treaties of commerce with many of the nations of Europe,on a system mutually advantageous to all parties, which would add greatly to our commerce with them. | oa England isin a condition to make a treaty of commerce, of a liberal kind, almost indispensable to her, It our government were to send an able commissioner or commissioners to London for this purpose, there can be no doubt of their being met with an earnest desire on the part of the British go. vernment to enlarge the commerce between the two nations, by liberal concessions to our naviga- tion in hercolonies, as well as in favor of an agri- cultural products in them and in the metropolis also. ‘The present tariff is the best basis we can have to stand on in the accomplishment of these great ob- jeets,—objects of the very highest importance to the whole country, but particularly to the south, where our great staples of export are produced. § #Again, I say to the South, stand up to the Tariff, and force the Government to obtain ample conces: sipns on the part of European vetoes for any reduc- tions you may make. All this must be the work of enlightened negotiation. But we have men who are capable of grappling with these complicated inter- ests. They are not, however, your pot house poli- ticians—your brawling stump orators, or literary dandies and tourists, who want to come to Europe to make books, and cherish the preferences they entertainfor foreign governments You must send working men—men who know something more than the arts of getting into Congress, and introdu- cing themselves into place. 7 3 jut, alas, you are so exclusively oacupied with President making, and getting out one set of offi- cial drones to getin another, still worse, that it is to be feared that the great interests of the country will continue to be totally neglected for the future, as they have been forthe past, urope is calm, and calm it 1s like to be. Queen City, Ohio {Correspondence of the Herald. Inhumanity—Education— Pork. Queen Crry, Ohio, Nov. 26, 1842. Genera. BennettT— Sir— In your ‘‘ Weekly” of last Saturday, the death of Major Isaac Clark is mentioned as having taken place at Newport Barracks, on the Ist instant. This isa mistake. Major Clark was drowned about a hundred miles above this city some four months since,and the solemn duty of re-interring his remains was not performed till cold weather would permit. He was buried with the honors of war by the vo- lunteer companies of this city, and accompanied to the ground by a large number of respectable citizens. In my last, an error also appeared: the Gazette issued Mr. Perkins lecture instead of Mr. Clay’s speech, but that is-of little moment—so Leoat J made two corrections, I will proceed with the subject I had marked out for this letter.

When it was found that he was actually in a high fever, about forty dollars was raised among the neighbors and presented to him, and the doctor was told to spare no exertion to save him; the remedy came, but it came too late; he died, and through neglect he died.

Taylor has been lecturing in this city, during this week, on education. He is endeavoring to wake Ohio up, for, he says, she is asleep—that New York and Ohio are like the tortoise and the hare ; that New York is the tortoise and has reach- ed the goal, but that Ohio is the hare and has gone to sleep, This wasa hard dose to swallow, but it had to go down.

There is real enjoyment in thi beautiful little house. ‘The uproarious laughter of the pit at a joke, does one’s heart good. There is tm air of comfort around the boxes—a gorgeous ‘ook of delight, that reminds one of “home, sweet ome.” In the hatha, the keen, cheerless ‘vinds of winter don’t whistle through empty boxes vid deserted pit. Hearts and hands are there in sbundanee—shedding a feeling of humanity over its whole concave. The Chatham is the true theatre of social enjoyment, on the most liberal scale. Cuatuam Tuxatre. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Crncrvnatt, Ohio, Nov. 24, 1842. Mr. Eprron— Sir— _ My attention has been called to a letter from Lex- ington, Kentucky, published in the New York He- rald some few weeks since, in which my name (the Rey. Mr. W.”) 18 connected with that of Dr. Miller, the celebrated preacher on the second ad- vent. Ideem itof no importance to notice this, ex- enpt to correct what I presume is a mistake, and not adesigned misrepresentation ; for Ihave no reason tc think that the writer was influenced by any mo- tives personally unfriendly to me. The author of that letter, however, before making the remark which he did, ought to have known that all Millenarians are not Millerites. Dr. Miller fixes the time of the se- cond personal advent of the Messiah in 1843. For my own part, [profess to know ‘‘neither the da northe hour,” nor even the particular year. ‘With ct to the fact, however, of a personal advent and personal reign of the Messiah, with his risen, changed, and glorified saints, on the regenerated earth, I have not the shadow of a doubt. I hold it to be asclearly revealed in the Bible, that the Lord Jesus Christ will hereafter appear in glory, to reign and triumph, as it is that he once came in humilia- tion to suffer and die, Fora belief in this scriptu- ral fact, 1am responsible, and this I am able to de- fend. The rsonal advent and personal reign of the Messiah, was unquestionably the doctrine of the primitive church, during the first three centuries, although they did not fix the time for 1843. ‘They knew “ neither the day nor the hour,” and therefore did not know but that it might take place during their life time. 1am therefore a Millenarian, but not a Millerite.

Jones, an old and respected member of the Park Theatre for many sears, died on Thurday at the residence of his friend, Mr. Forrest, in this city. Mr. J. was a resident of Philadelphia, and was fulfilling an engagement at the Chatham when he was taken ill, and after a long and painful con- finement departed this life, deeply regretted by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances. Dur- ing his illness, Mr. Forrest extended to him, with a liberal hand, allthe kindness and attention that de- voted affection could suggest,to smooth the pillow of a suffering friend. Mr. J. was,we believe, a native of this city, and 35 years industriously engaged in his profession. He was an affectionate husband— an amiable companion—and a sincere friend. His devoted and disconsolate widow left her engage- ments in Philadelphia to attend him in his last sickness.

Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald.) Purapetruta, Dec. 2, 1842. Dear Bennett :— There is much suffering now prevailing in this ci- ty among the poor classes of our citizens, and which calls londly for the exercise of the boasted philan- thropy of Philadelphia. At the head of the City Govetnment, we have one of the purest and most benevolent beings humanity numbers—I mean Joha M. Scott, Esq.
