Our Packer Surps.—Since 1844 came into ex- istence, our fine packet ships have been skimming the sea at a rate seldom equalled.

Wess on Witts.—In another column will be found a very searching: article from Herman Le Roy in reply to J. W. Webb, on the Stewart Will case. We do verily believe that James Watson ‘Webb, in losing his supposed legacy from the Stewart estate, has actually lost his senses. Day after day he is pouring out his gross and outrageous abuse against Mr. Lispenard Stewart—against his whole family and connexions—against male and female—against the living and the dead. We ne- ver saw such a violation of the decencies of the press as he has furnished of late. And for what? Because Lispenard Stewart would not give him nearly half of the whole property left by Robert Stewert in equal proportions, and thus rob his sisters of their just rights. If Webb goes on much longer, his friends, if he has any, will have toprocure a strait jacket for his especial use. eercet8e » = wo 26 Trier Movements.—We perceive that great efforts have been made to get up Tyler demonstra- tions in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Mary- land. These movements are not without some connexion with the recent nominations of certain distinguished politicians to offices in the Cabinet. When we put all these things together, it is evident that Captain Tyler is putting on his boots and spurs, and has taken his whip in his hand, and intends to manage tne coach of State hereafter in his own way.

We were called upon yesterday by a respectable and patriotic American, named Stephen S. Wright, who has just returned from transportation in Van Dieman’s Land, whither he was sent by the British authorities at Kingston during the late rebellious reak inthe provinces of Canada. His object was to induce us to call the attention of those sympathisers here, who addressed the British gov- ernment some eighteen months ago upon the subject of the convicts, to his case and that of another man, named —— Dresser, with the view of giving them an opportunity of rendering pecuniary and other assistance to enable them to return their homes, which are at a considerable distance from New York. ‘The statement made to us by Wright is, in sub- stance, as follows:—He and Dresser were in a party of two hundred, who left Sackett’s Harbor in Oc- tober, 1838, in a steamer, with the avowed purpose of assisting the disaffected Canadians, and they landed at Windmill Point, just below Prescott, on the night of the 1th. They were armed and equipped as volunteer soldiers. {mmediately after landing they were attacked by a considerable body of militia and regulars; aftr fighting four or five days, thirteen were killed, and the remainder, amounting to one hundred and eighty-four, were made prisoners.

Case of Madame Restell.—Amnrosy, L. Jonvan, Esq , appeared on bebalf of Madame Restell and moved that merereans be entered in the case on which she was dicted for a miademeanor,for procuring abortion from th person of Ann Purdy in the year 1841. He stated that, after conviction, the case had heen carried to the Supreme Court on a writ of error, and judgment had been reversed on the ground that the affidavit of Mrs. Purdy was read in testimony, before the Court of Sessions on the trial of the accused, after her death. Under this decision, it bein, unable to procure conviction, the Court ordered a nolle prosrqui, und tho accused and her recognizances were discharged. common jail for three days. On the 22d De- cember, he was tried before a court martial along with twelve others; and after an investga- tion of an hour and twenty minutes, he was sen- tentenced to transportation, whilst many of his companions in arms were sent to execution. Be- tween ten and eleyen months afterwards, Wright, Dresser, and sixty-six other American sympathisers were embarked on board the ship Buffalo, which first conveyed them to Quebec, where fifty French sympathisers were received, and then to Port Lon- don, where forty-nine others were received; and witn this rebellious cargo on board, the vessel pro- ceeded to her destination. In the first instance the convicts were not informed whither they were bound, but when they had been at sea five days, the Captain, whose name was Wood, told them he was bound to Van Dieman’s Land. A voyage of four months and a half brought them to Sandybay, about a mile below Hobart Pown, where they were landed, and instantly attired in the dress assigned to convicts in a penal settlement. The day after, the Lieutenant Governor, Franklin, inspected the convicts, and told them (so our informant stated) that he had received no instructions from the home government with regard to them, but he had called his counsel together, and it had, been decided to employ them upon the public roads until instruc- tionsarrived from England. Their employment then commenced, and it consisted in breaking stones, drawing hand carts, and with similar occupations upon the roads, the labor of which is described as excessively severe. Sixteen or eighteen months afterwards the Lieutenant Governor paid them another visit, and told them his instruetions had arrived from England; and that, in compli- ance with them, the Canadian convicts were to work a probationary period of two years upon the roads in the pyblic service, at the end of which, those who behaved well, would receive a ticket of leave. This ticket of leave authorised the convict togo into any midland district in the island, and there to make the best use of his time for his own interest. All seaports are prohibited places. Under these tickets, Wright and Dresser lived for two years, working very hard. Both, however, make bitter complaints of the food and raiment sup- plied to them—alleging that it was scanty and. in- ferior, whilst the huts in which they slept, were the most miserable places in the world. During this period, they certainly seem to have undergone considerable hardship. [Eventually they obtained a pardon and release by a fortunate,concurrence of circumstances. Five bushrangers had absconded from Port Arthur, and taken up arms, with which they were committing violence. With the view of securing these people, the Governor offered a free pardon and a passage from the colony to any of the convicts who should apprehend them, bu none volunteered for the service. At length however, Wright, Dresser, and three others, made the attempt, and after being out in the bush for eighteen days, they appre- hended two out of the five absconded rangers. Their reward was a free pardon and a passage to London by the next departing vessel, and after a voyage of five months they arrived in the metropo- lis of England. The American minister in Lon- don, procured them a passage to New York in the ship Quebec which arrived here last Thursday. Wright and Dresser ure now staying at No. 5 Gold street ; where assistance will be of great uti- lity in enabling them to return home. Wright lives at Denmark, Lewis county, about 300 miles meved, resides in Jefferson county, New York. Tur Worn or Fasnton iv Wasutncton.—By pher in Washington, is to be found, not in the halls of legislation—not in the noisy, disorderly, bicker- ing House of Representatives; or solemn, prosy, twaddling Senate, but in the gay saloons, the hotels, the assembly-rooms of that curious city. Saratoga is all very well. There's abundance of materiel there for a quiet, calm, observant anatomist of fash- ionable society, but in many respects Washington is infinitely more productive. Every grade and class from the snug farmer of the West, the propri- etor of the cattle on a hundred hills, to the aristo- cratic planter of the South, with the blood of a fa- mily of a hundred years in his veins, are there re- presented. Members’ wives, young, gay, good- looking, aged, passé, as the case may be—widows of all complexions and degrees—young ladies, just brought out, and old ones just going out—the males as much diversified in character, reputation and per- son—all mingled into one grade, present certainly a state of society, every hour exhibiting the most cu- rious, amusing, and peculiar developments. The present season has been remarkably brilliant. On Tnesday last the Attorney General, who occu- pies the late residence of Lord Ashburton, gave a grand dinner to the Cabinet Ministers, the Judges of the Supreme Court, and their families, Mrs, Madison and Miss Legare were among the guests. In the evening the second “assembly” came off with the greatest eclat. All the beauty and fashion of Washington, with a splendid representationfrom Baltimore, New York, and other cities were there. Naval balls—“ regal banquets”—suppers—thus re- publican simplicity is kept up and maintained at Washington. Board of Supervisers. Recorder Tallmadge in the ( hair.

The reason w for this change, among others, is the right of representation should be commensurate with the subjection of taxation, which principle is violated in the it law, as the mere representatives of the several Wards have the right to create a tax upon the whole city, independent of the will ofthe representatives of the remaining Wards.

The boy was standing upon thestep, and on being asked what he was doing there, he enq tired if Mr. White lived there. He waa arrested and taken to the watch house, when twenty-six Fe ne keys were found in his pockets. The defence called a witness who proved that he saw the boy find the keys in the street. ‘The jury returned a verdict of guilty of an attempt to commit burg- lary in the first degreo, and the court sentenced him to the State prison for two years, Assault and Battery.—Eaward Spragg and Thomas Kirk were put upon trial for an assault and battery on Samuel Kenny, city watchman, of 16 Norfolk street, on the first lay of November. The offence was committed at the De- mocratic County Meeting, held in the Park at that time The complainant testified that Kirk struck him, and he was afterwards attacked by several others. A witness, named John H. Whitehart, testified that he saw Spragg strike Kenny after Kirk had struck him. The defence, ccnducted by Spragg. called Abner Milliken, who testified that he was at the meeting, and that there was a generel row several times during the meeting. Michacl Walsh wasnext called. He stated that there was a dispute be- tween two sections of the democratic party om that occa- sion, which terminated in much confusion, and a general row at the foot of the stepsofthe City Hall. He did not see Spragg strike any one during the time, but heard per- sons call out to him, and threaten to beat him if he came down from the stand. Ex-Alderman Saver proved that there was a general disturbance. Mr. Isaacs testified to similar facts. Epwarp Srraca summed up in his own behalf, and stated that officer Cockefair followed him round fivayh the crowd, and told him that he would arrest him if he committed any assault on any one of thecrowd. That Cockefair had been sent after, but could not be found, to attend here as a witness to sustain this statement, but he would submit the case without further argument. The Distaict Artorxsy did not reply, and the Court submitted the case tothe jury. The jury, after a short absence, returned a verdict of guilty, but recommended him to the merey of the Court. ‘Assault and Battery.—John Ridabout and Thos.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. —— eee SS SS _ Tue Grrarp Wit Case.—Mr. Webster opened | his argument for the heirs-atslaw of Stephen Girard on Satufday at 11 o’clock. The room was filled persons turned away unable to obtain admittance. About one-fourth of those present in the Court room were ladies, and all the seats of the members of the Bar and half the area behind the Judges were occupied by those who seem to have as much taste forthe dry arguments of the law as wiser heads. The audience trespassed hard upon the Judges, and but few persons of the great multitude bir doaited to be present could get within hearing ‘The opening of the argument was remarkable for all the impressiveness of manner, clearness of expression, and power of Sa ed for which Mr. Vebster is so disti ished. The closing part of his address for the day produced a thrilling effect upon those who heard him, and many at times were shedding, tears from his eloquent defence of the power and influences of the Christian religion, The Court adjourned at three o’clock, and Mr. W. had not then concluded.

Mi- chael, of the ship John Baring, of Philadelphia, has been prosecuted by part of his crew for putting them on allowance, in consequence of an in- crease of the number on board his vessel by saving the lives of the crew of the British brig Mariner, that foundered at sea on the 29th December, an having them on board his ship thirty-seven days. The master and crew, of the Mariner, and part of the crew of the ship John Baring, have—owing to the prosecution—deemed it due to Captain Mi- chael to give the following facts in the case :— This is to certify, that in consequence of the saving of the crew of the British brig Mariner, lately abandoned, that Captain Michael was under the necessity of putting he people on allowance to guard against the worst—for the: Lphepeh ie co of property, and the lives of so Bey ; having twenty-three persons more in number than he cleared with. Now,.the sailors and passengers have sued him ; which, im my opinion, or that of any person taking 1 view of the is rather harsh or severe—should it ye noticed as it was, an act of humanity on the Captain's part in saving these unfortunate men from perishing ; and were he to give out provisions as the seamen required, no loubdt, ina time, all would be eaten up—and then what would be the comampernce 1 It would be the loss of tives and 7 were it not forthe precautions that the Ci jaken in due time.

Ihave used and atea share of both beef and pork, iuch as was given the crew, and do deny that either was yad. I can also add that it is my opinion, that were it not ‘or the additional assistance that the Captain had, in the srew that he had taken off, that the ship would have suf- red more in the dread{ul gales that she had to encounter ‘ore she got to New York; and, in my opinion, the iptain should get credit instead of censure.

Curtina, Esq.— Dean Sin,—The publication in the Courier & Enquirer of this morning deserves no other notice from me than simply to beg that you will inform me of the nature of your conversation with J. W. Webb, upon which his let- ier of the 19th Sept. last is basedea letter so vile and sean- dalous in ita character, that I deemed it unworthy of any notice, as it bears upon the face of it the best evidence of the baseness of the man who wrote it. I shall have no controversy with J. W. Webb—a man who comes forward with a recklessness unparalleled, an¢ idavit in direct opposition to the solemn vaths na of respectability, whose characters arc ‘ain or reproach. It strikes me, sir, that when shudder” in withou mony can overcome—no sophistry, however cunning or \d no affidavit, however bold, can refute unde- niable truths ‘With much respect, Your obedient servant, HERMAN C. LE ROY. New Yor«, Feb. 20th, 1944. Herman C. Le Roy, Esq.— Dean Sin,—Your letter of yeaterday was not received untila late hour last night. and engagements this morna- ing have not allowed me the time to send an earlieran- swer, In July last, immediately after the publication by Mr. Webb, of an article assailing the character and honor of Mr. Lispenard Stewart, I was retained by that gentleman as counsel in the controversy about to take place, in the Surrogate’s Court, in relation to the will of the late Robt. Stewart, ‘The inquiries which it became my duty to make into the circumstances connected with the making of the will, resulted in the conviction that the imputations upon Mr. Stewart were unjust, and that instead ef being ac- tnated by selfish or mercenary views, his intentions were disinterested and honorable. It was quires as counsel, that I was infor:aed that, in a letter to Mir. Stewart, you had expressed the opinion that he ought, ' ra ‘Mrs. Le Roy a portion equal to one-fourth of the estate, Shortly after the litigation had commenced before the Surrogate, I met Mr. Webb in the street, and we entered into acasaal conversation, I remarked to him (among other matters) in substance, that I thought he had done toe to Mr. Stewart, and that as far as [ had the means of ndging, his conduct and views were upright and hon- orable. Something was ssid by Mr. Webb in reference to the original opposition to the will, and that Mr. Stewart hod managed to change the course of all but himself; in the course ofthe conversation I observed that you had expressed an opinion to Mr. Stewart, that he ought to set- tle on Mrs. Le Roy one-fourth of the estate, or to that ef- tect, and that Mr. Stewart had declined to do so. Mr. Webb's recollection of this conversation in other respects differs essentially from mine. I did not apply to your proposition the epithets “disgraceful,”—"'infamous,” or other similar expressions, According’ to my best recol- lection it was he, and not I, who employed language of this description. Since this occurrence I have made your acquaintance and have had placed before me all the communications (lh ety in relation to the proj m to which I re- fer in the conversation with Mr. Webb; and from this correspondence and the explanations that have been given to me, as well by you as Mr. Stewart, I am vatis- tied that you did not, in any ition to Mr. Stewart, intend to assert any demand or make any claim in any de- gree inconsistent with your character as a gentleman and a man of honor. the parties, the pub! more indifferent to ‘lo. ‘ e ly o- mestic and private controversies than those concerned in them are aptto imagine. { think it enough to atate that you hi satisfied me that you did not, in your communication to Mr. Stewart, intend to deprive Mrs. Webb or children of their share of the estate; but that your letter was based a the idea that Mr. Stewart would voluntarilyjrelinquish his interest in the tines thus reducing the shares to five, and that Mire. We " re had been absorbed to the extent of the indebted: and charges against Mr. Webb, which you believed to be vi e. Ifthe estate should have proved sufficient to have left a balance in favor of Mrs. Webb's portion, after deducting the amonnt charged against it, Tam satisfied from your letter that you did not wish or attempt to deprive her of it, in any manner.
