Col. Webb has gone home to eondole with Mr, Fuller on the ingratitude of the ad- imistration. We saw him this evening in the cars. He bore the shock with becoming resignation; but there will be the deuce to pay presently, if we are to judge of the experiment for the chapeau of the Briga- ier General. ‘The cabinet yesterday had the subject of the foreign eorps under consideration, and, as understood, they e informally agreed upon the following appoint- ments:— For Minister to Great Britain—Abbott Lawrence, of Mass,, vice George Bancroft, For Minister-to Franee—Wm. C. Rives, of Va., vice Richard Rush, Pa. For Minister to Chili (full mission)—Baille Peyton, of La., viee Seth Barton, La, Charge, the place being promired by Congress.

C., viee Romulus M, Saunders, N.C Every one of these men wil bear tho test of an exa- mination, They are all good appointments, and the mort prominent ones are excellent. ‘The particular case under consideration is the mis- sion to Spain; for, asthe Kditor of the Herald has Feeent)y sung, \ For what shall-we lose, . ‘And what shall we gain, If we tail to send out ‘The right person to Spain 2” the man, He was our man, He was every body’s who had not some other man. We saw what Col. Wibb did at Philadelphia—we saw how he exulted in convention, face to face, over Ho- zace Greeley, on the fourth ballot. We saw. from that moment, that Col Webb was good for a foreign mis- sion, provided Gen. Taylor was elected, and tho ap- pointment could beused. Weexulted with Col. Webb— ‘wo rympathized with Horace Greeley—we thought that some things could be done as well us others, and now we know it. We saw, all through the campaign, that Col. Webb loved old Zachary Taylor—we saw that he was extremely happy in the general result—we thought + that Col. Webb would put ina claim; and he did put in a claim :— He put in a claim for Berlin. Mr Hannegan was appointed to Berlin, On the last Sunday morning of the session, he was con- firmed to Berlin. Thus was Col. Webb cheated out of Berlin He had studied the rudiments of high Dutch, for the mission to Berlin, Raled out of Berlin by a small judgment, on a Sun- day morning. March 4, before breakfast, what did Col. Webb do? Why*he did what any other sensible man would do. He began to cast about him for something elze. Spain! Good! Spain would do. A nice cli- mate—o gay court. He shuffled ever the pack, and put in for Spain, He put in for Spain strong. He came on here, From and after the inauguration, he was on bere a good many times You would see hint bere to-day—the next day he was In New York. and two or three days after, lie would be again at the White House. He met General Scott. there, and told exactly how the thing happened that General Scott left in such aburry. Col. Webb was one of the three men spoken of. He was there, or we are mistaken, He was here, offandon,s good many times, He was sometimes here a week, and actually went to church on Sunday, and rat within hailing distance of Old Zack. He look- ed like a member in good standing, and put in his con- tribution when the box went round. He was a good man, We always took him fora Christian, and that proved it. 5 For the last month, we have seen yery little of Col. Webb. He had put in his papers; they were iaced on file, and there was no occasion for him to be ere till the ‘time cume round. The time did come round; everything comes round at last; and last Tues- day Col. Webb came round. Now we come to the last act of the “hopera,”* ‘The time was at hand, The papers of the candi- dates were about to be taken up; the foreign missions were about to be considered. There were, as under- stood, the following candidates for Spain: Goy. Graham, of North Carolina. Hon, Mr. Barringer. of North Caroli Hon, Ed. Stanley, of North Carolina. — Gov. Van Ness, of Vt., (late Collector, New York ) Hon. Washington Barrow, Tennessee. And some say Mr. Snethen, edititor of the National Whig, was a candidate; but this, we suppose, was not the caee, Last, though not least, if not the first, Col. Webb was a candidate. And why was he a candidate? That's the question. 1, Because he wanted to go to Spain. 2. Secondly—but the first reason is enough. He wanted to go; and he had a right to want to go. Well. he was here last Tuesuay. He learned enough to satisfy him that Thureday was to be the day, ‘That was enough. He forthwith sent on a telegraphic de- spatch to Mesers Recorder Tallmadge, Simeon Draper and Willis Hall, to meet him on Wednesday in New York. On Wednesday they did meet him in New York, and Tbursdsy they were in Washington, all four of them, at Gadrby’s hotel. During the day they had a conference with Gen. Taylor, Mr. Clayton and others of the cabinet. The case was cholera asphyxia or the real Asiatic. Opium and camphor were powerless. — But your true men never despair while there is life in the patient. The committe did not despair On Thursday.evening they went up, Messra. Tall- madge, Draper and Hall, and charged upon Gen, Tay- Jor, like a charge of the Old Guard. ‘The old man was imperturbable. ‘They eouldn’t phaze him. hey represented to Gen. ‘Taylor the important ser- Viees which Col. Webb had rendered in the campaign. Gen. Taylor replied, the appointment had been agreed upon, and regretted that Col. Webb could not be selected. ‘The committee urged upon Gen. Taylor the advan- tages to his administration that would follow the ap- pointment of Col Webb. Gen. Taylor replied that he had made his choice, and could not recede. The committee represented the danger of disap- pointing Col. Webb, from the intluence which his pa- per exercised in the politics of New York. Here old Zack came right out. He was responsible for his appointments, Ie had the Senate to consider —he had the prejudices, if you please. #f the Senate to consider—he was anzious to present such men to the Senate as he believed the Senate, for personal pre- judicer, would not reject. He felt grateful for the ser- Viees of Col. Webb; but he believed his appointment would be rejected by the Senate if nominated for Spain. ‘The nomination, therefore, could not be mad He could not make a nomination which he believed would be rejected. ‘We have this information from two different gentlo- men in direct communication with the cabinet, and ns having been the #tatement made by one of the com- mittee in a conversation on the subject, and we choose indicating the exact difficulty upon which ion of Col. Webb fell to the ground. Col. Webb wi ina. for a final call on Mr, Clayton to-day, but that he gave them no further answer than that the case was closed, and the verdict of the jury rendered in. Col. Webb and the committee went home this eve- ning. We like Col. Webb. He was our man, We did all we could to keep his application prominently before the cabinet. But the case is decided. We have to be resigned to it, and we do believe that Col. Webb will get over it after awhile. We did what we co © try {0. to send nt you seo it was vain Webb out to Spain, DOCTOR, WHE Our Philadelphia Correspondence. Pu urnia, June 38,1849. Railroad Accidents—Steamboat Burnt—Mr, Forrest in Philadelphia—Fire Riot, §c., ec. Two awful railroad accidents cecurred in the vici- nity of this city yesterday afternoon, An elderly fe- male, named Mary McCully, aged 72, was run over by the locomotive Simon Cameron, on the Willow street railroad, near Broad street. ‘The engine was approach ing at a moderate rate, but the unfortunate woman being deaf from her extreme age, did not hear it, and attempting to cross the track, was knocked down and most awfully mangled. ‘The other case was & marine, recently discharged from the U. 8, rhip Independence, at Nortolk. He fell drom the Baltimore cars as they were turning the curve of Broad and Prune strects, and the wheels passed lengthwise over his body, mangling him in the most | horrible manner, and causing instant death. His name was Robinron; he was bound to this city, where it is eupposed be bas relatives living. The decensed was sianding on the platform between two cars, which seems to be a favorite pesition, though every car con- tains 8 printed prohibition of the practice, and it is the constant theme of cautions uttered by conductors. ‘Lhe steamboat General Greene, owned by the Red Bank Ferry Company, was totally consumed by fire this morning. between 12 and 1 o'clock, having been set on fire while lying at the wharf at Red Bank. She was fully insured. Mr Forrest made his appearance at the Walnut street Theatre lart evening, and was rapturously ap- planded by a full, but not crowded house, After the trogedy he was called before the curtain, when he made a short speech, apologizing for having been pre- Vented, by sickness, from appearing when first an- pounced. ‘He then alluded to the grievances of which he felt himself to have been the victim; his enemies having, with envenomed malignity, pursued him into the privacy of his domestic relations, He was listened to in profound silence, and nine cheers followed. A false alarm of fire vecurred last night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, and the Wececacoe kngine members, while Feaning up Sixth street, above Pine, with thelr paratur, were asrailed by a gang of rowdies, one of whom stabbed four ef thore having hold of the Knee eoe—Thomas Dewick, Wm. Love, Thomas Ireland, and another m whose nameis unknown. Noneof their injuries were serious. The fellow was arrested by the Weecacoe members, but rescued by his com- rades, and the whole gang escaped before the wateh ould be brought to the spot. Our volunteers elect two brigade gonerals and in- #pectors, together with their regimental officers, to- morrow. General George Cadwallader is the prominent eandidate for general of the firet brigade, and he will Bndoubtedly be re-viected, ‘Trial of with sey, when the Court adjourned on Saturday afternoon, his advice to the jurors was to attend church on the Sabbath, which was the complied with the Judge’ hands assembled, and were soon orga: ceeded with the trial. During this mornin; witnesses called the Marder of Thomas Nott. ’ Rocnesren, May 28, 1849. FIFTH DAY. THE being Sunday, the in this ease all Yesterday J Y jury ext day, and it appears they views or request. At the usual hour this morning, the Court and all mised and pro- all the ere physicians and chemists, who gave their opinions in regard to the effect of atrichnine, and the cause Goocetine to the best of their judgment) of the disease that Mr. Nott died with, It will be seen the following testimony, that some of those upon the stand have been in practice a great number of years, and during that time must have acquired a su- perior knowledge of the effects and causes of medicines and diseases. ‘The trial still continues to create great excitement in this city, and | understand there is equally as much excitement in the city of Buffalo, I have been informed by Mr. Bishop, the District Attorney, and Col Charles, the Deputy Sheriff, that the following witnesses in New York have been subpoenaed, and will arrive here to-night ; Capt. Peck, of the steamer Isaac Newton. Mr. Depew, Clerk — do. 0. Mr. Pike, bookkeeper, Astor House. ‘The prosecution will finish with all their evidence to- morrow afternoon, when the defence will be opened by Mr. Smith, and a number of witnerses called on their t. The following is all the testimony of any im- portance brought up to-day Dr. Wensren recalled by defence.—When I was ex- amined before,} said that Watson had stated that strycbnia had been employed in tetanus; since that time I have seen in the “ New York Medical and Sur- ical Journal” seven or eight cases reported by Dr. Vanderpool and Dr. Fell as being successfully treated by transmatic strychnia—in cases of tetanus | should be disposed to give etrychnia a trial under the cir- cumstances ; convulsions as a general rule come on suddenly—for instance, a person will be well, walking the street, and taken down suddenly ; in case of a wo- man who has been flowing, rest is necessary ; I would make no distinction between neuralgic and other pa- tients; the intestines were taken by Dr. Miller for the purpose of analyzing the contents; the only part | opened was the upper part of the rectum-—a person could not take a dose of strychnia and go to sleep during its effects. Lirect resumed.—I would give strychnia to cure tet nus, on the principle that strychnia would produce te- tanus in a well subject; do not recolleet whether this is the ground on which Watson says he would ad- minister it; ina case of a female flowing so freely not to be ina condition to move, it would exhibit it- self freely onthe bedclothes as well as on her own clothing; it would be very much more, a3 a general rule, than the ordinary menstruation; ifa female had a miscarriage on Saturday night, she would not, asa general rule, be in a condition to ride eighteen miles on the next Tuesday; she would not do so with the counsel of a discreet physician, but this is not saying that women do not sometimes follow their own advice in such matters. I stated on Saturday that I did not know why any other irritation, such as that of the in- testinal canal, would not produce tetanus; | do now not know why it should; there was no appearance of in- flammation about the abscess, but there was undoubt- edly irritation, although | do not see any reason why this abscess should produce the symptoms described in this care, Cross-examination resumed —This journal isa regular, not & homwopathic journal; these doses were allopathic ones, Man Epson, sworn.—Ix a physician and surgeon; has p: ised over 34 years at Scottsville, in this coun- ty; was present at the first examination of the body of Mr. and saw the coffin Nott, with Dr. W ; presen opened; found the body extended in the coffin, cover- ed with @ shroud; the body had been previously open- ed and sewed up; *aw and examined the stomach; the stomach was free from the ordinary contents like food or mucus; it is my opinion it had been artificially cleansed; have seen the stomach of the human subject quite often after death, and never saw one before in the same condition, that had not been cleansed; there was some fiuid taken out of the cavity of the sto- mach; it had a dark bloody, or rather briny, ap- pearance; it was my opinion that it came there ar- tificially; Ihave heard the testimony of Dr. W.; I went through the examination with Dr, Ws and agree with him asas to the appearances, as fur as stated ; did not hear the testimony of Mr. Thorne and Mr. Par- sons, but have read their testimony given before Police Magistrate and at the present Court; the symptoms they deseribe indicate tetanus; it is a marked case; in my opinion, an educated physician and a man of good Judgment could not doubt about the disease as indica- ted by these symptoms, From the knowledge I have fiom books, 1 can state that strychnia will produce the same symptoms; strychnia is procured from nux vomicu; an over dose of nux yomica would produce similar’ symptoms; nux yomica is sometimes used as a medicine; a grain of strychnia would produce death in an ordinury subject; have had two cases of tetanus; one of the cases resulted in di there was no intermission of the symptoms in 48 hours; in the other case the symptoms were miti- gated in 12 hours and did not recur ; the patient recov- ered; in a case of tetanus, where there was an entire in- termission of the symptons, I should not expect a re- turn, although it might; never heard, read or saw a case of tetanus where there was an entire intermission of the tetanic «pasms and a return of the same symptoms; Mr. N. was buried about baif « mile from the place where I raw the body; one of the cases of tetanus | saw was from a shot in the heel, the other by the cut of an axe in the knee; never saw or read of acase of tetanus from an abscess in the body, after the abscess had found an opening; heard Dr. W. describe the abscess in ano discovered in this case; I should think such an abscess could not produce tetanus—that after the abscess is formed acute inflammation has subsided ; in the first examination we did not discover any diseaso—the parts were all healthy. Cross-examined.—Don’t know that I ever read that prussic acid, or creosote, or aconite, would produce the tetanic sparms; know they will produce death; I un- derstand Dr Rush and others maintain the theory that it is the intlammution that produces tetanus; itis a di hat phsicians know little about; when we treat tetanus produced by a wound, our first object is to pro- duce ulceration; after ulceration 1s formed, we think the patient safe; irritation may exist without intlamma- tion; irritation is applicable to the nervous system; in- flamination is not in the nerves exclusively; tetanus is @ nervous disease; the cases of tetanus I had were ac- companied with thirst; thirst is ordinarily attendant upon convulsions; cannot say that perspiration is a common attendant upon convulsions; in the ease of death from tetanus that cam er my observation, the patient was in a feveris I suppose that in the lust stages of the disease perspiration would occur; I should not be without fears after symptoms had abated that they would return; never heard of tetanus oecur- ring by a caustic application in the neck of the uterus; I should be surprised to find a caustic application to the reetum producing tetanus; the two parts are en- tirely different; there is but httle known among physi- cians generally about tetanus. as it if & disease that oc- curs very seldom in this climate; did not discover any spots on the internal surface of the stomach when I looked at it; after perfect digestion, the stomach is empty, but containing mucus, a lubricafed substance, adhering to its inner coats; it is a distinct substance from the gastric juice; when there is no food in the stomach, the gastric juice is contained in sacs; the stomachs I have examined contained sufficient mucus to lubricate the surface; it requires from three and a half to six hours to digest food; after thirty-six hours would not expect to find any’ food in the stomach; drinking water for a length of time might lessen the quantity of mucus; morphine and other opiates dimin- ish the ecretions of the stomach; after not taking food for twenty-four hours, drinking water and taking mor- phine, would expect to find the stomach pretty clean; opiates would dimin'sh the amount of mucus, Direct resumed —If an injection of the nitrate of silver had been introduced into the rectum of the man. it would undoubtedly have been discoverable; did not discover any sign of it iu this subject; the appear- unce left of injection, would depend on its strength; the mucus membrane would be changed in its appearance; did not discover any fwces in the stomach at the time we examined it; it Was my opinion from the examina- tion, that little if any of the rectum had been taken away; have never known of a post mortem examina. tion being made by an attending physician alone; if this disease of the rectum had been such as to produce the tetanic epasms, that part of the rectum would have been a very interesting specimen, and should have beon preserved; I have never known a specimen of thia kind to be thrown away. Q.—Whiat is the object with ph: post mortem examination t [Objected to by counsel for defenee, and allowed by the Court.) A—1 jcians in making a ject is to find the cause of death, Q.—For what purpose? [Objected to, as before.] A.—The object is to treat similar eases properly, We did not make a very particular examination of the rectum, and did not discover any disease, Nid not mean to say that I should nitrate of silver, but that it would rable; traces of the nitrate of silver would disappear after @ while, traces of a weak solution might pass off in twe or three hours; never knew a specimen of this kind to be preserved, because I never know a direased rectum to produce tetanus; never knew of any part of the body tobe preserved that had produced Welanus, AFTERNOON SESSION. The bell of the court-hoeee is now sounding the eall, ing the time of res mbing having arrived. Ww minutes the judges, jurors, counsellors, &., Were in attendance. ‘he court then organized, and the first witness called was Dr. Peren Macxavonrox sworn—Resideat Scottsville; am aphysicinn; the examination of the body of Mr. Noté took pluce at ny office, which ix about half a mile from the grave of Mr. N.; was present at the first examina- tion; the coffin was brought te my office by two men employed by the Coroner; it was unopened; saw the stomach after it was taken out; examined it; It was my opinion it had becn artificially cleansed The next witness called was one of the Coronoe's ury, - 9 N. B. Mrnaicx, aworn—Was one of the Coroner's jury that sat upon the body of Mr. Nott; Dr. 1. was ‘examined; he said no one was present upon the post mortem examination which he made. except his son, who was there but # moment; he said he did not coxa. mine the stomach, only to look into it. Cross-czamined--Think he eaid he looked and eut into the stomach; he said his soneame into the room for a moment upon anerrand. (Here the District At- tor roduesd a small bottle of strychnine, also grain of it ina small piece of paper, which was exhibit- ed to the jury and court) | Joun Bakes, sworn—Resides in the town of Greece; was acquainted with Dr. Hardenbrook last June. [The witners was here objected to by H. K. Smith, counsel for the prisoner, upon the grounds that his evidence Was totelly irrelevant, and has no bearing upon the charge which the prisoner ison trial for, Mr. Whea- ton then raid they wirhed to prove by the present wit- ners that the doctor went off in the ears with Mra Nott, and also had the wife of the witnors in kis charge, and they further to prove that the dostortra- velled with Mra, jott to cuse, thenee to Albany; thenee to New York onthe night boat, and proseeded ester ;” ie e other ‘Mr. Wheaten then said that { heed “ers t importanee, for the e e was of great imper 5 purpose of showing the illicit in'ercourse between the F and Mrs. Nott; to show that he had tive com- mitting the crime upon which he is as ge He was ably replied to by the opposite eounsel K. Smith, who is an eminent counsellor of Buifalo, but fi received the decision of the court that and all such evidence was competent, and the witness proceeded as follows :]—On the 12th of last June, my wife was about going to New York; DrJH. called on me in State street, havi some private busi- ness with me, stating he was going to All after his daughter, who was sick; I told him Mrs. Baker was solug down; he then said he should have a number of fadies to necompany, and would meet us at the cure, at the 1 o'clock train; | took Mrs. Baker and beard, but did not see the doctor then; a few days after, Isaw him and inquired of him how Mrs, Baker got along; he told me he eould not say, as one of the ladies who were with him was taken sick, and that he stopped over at Syracuse. Mrs, Cremmexs S. Baxrn—I am the wife of the last witness; saw Dr H. last June; left here for New York in the 1 o'clock train, saw the doctor on board; he was with a lady whom I did not know at the time, but have since learned that it was Mra. Nott; he was in eor ny with no one else that I saw; they occupied the samo seat together all the way; I did not see them east of Syracuse; it was near sundown when we arrived there; I went on in the rame train, Cross-ezamined—Dr. Hardenbrook spoke to me; ho sat en the opposite side of me; did not see him speak to any other lady but myselfand Mrs. Nott; saw him pass through the car once, but spoke to no other lady but myself. hiss Roacn recalled —The first I saw Mrs. Nott out of her bed, after her husband’s death, was about nine | o'clock, Monday night; she came down stairs, and went in the room, opened the coffin and looked ut her hurband; at the time I saw her first, she was in the back parlor, and Dr. Hardenbrook was with her; she was standing up when! saw her, and the Doctor was standing near her; she was dressed when I went to bed; [left her sitting in the rocking-chair, in her room; f was not let into Mrs, Nott’s chamber all day Monday; when persons called to see the body, 1 wouid go up to her room to let Dr. H, know they Were at the door; I don’t know how many times, but quite often; when I would go te the door of Mrs. Nott's room, | would find it bolted, and the Doctor would answer me; only noticed the door being bolted once; did not attempt to open her door but once; no direction was given me about go- ing to her room; at one time I went to the room of Mrs. Nott, 1 raised the latch, and it was fastened, and Dr. Hardenbrook answered me, when I eaid Mrs, Dewey was down stairs; don’t think Mrs, Nott was down stairs over balf an ho m Monday night; Miss Thorn ar- rived about five that afternoon; I don’t know what time she went to the room of Mrs. Nott; she took her breakfast up stairs, in her room; it was about seven in the evening, after the funeral, that Mrs. Nott and the Doctor returned; it was balf past ten when I went to bed on Tuesday evening, and I left her sittng up in the back parlor; Dr, Hardenbrook was in the room with her when | saw her that night; I did not see auy one else there; Mrs. Nott and the family took tea after they returned; | heard no complaint of Mrs, Nott’s heaith that night; a little after seven, Wednesday morning, I saw Mrs. Nott dewn to breakfast; I believe 1 did noc hear her make any complaint of sickness du- ring the week atter the death of her husband; on the Sa- turday previous to Mr. Nott’s death, the Doctor and his daughter were going to take a ride, and he asked Mra. Nott togo, butshe told the Doctor Mr. Nott was aroused, and she did not like to go; this was afcer dinner; I heard Mrs Nott tell the Doctor to give her love to her mother, father, and the girls. Cross-examined.—It was some time in the forenoon that, 1 found the door locked; I don’t know where the Doctor's daughters were; they may have been in the hall bedroom; | went to Mrg. Nott’s room; | did not go up when the bell would ring; I believe Mrs. Dewey was the firet lady that called, about nine in the morning; Mrs, Dewey sent me up, saying sho wanted to see Mrs. Nott, and | tried the latea, and it was bolted, and it was then that Dr. H. answered from the inside; som times, when I went vp, I would mect Dr. H. or daughtcr in the hall; i can’t say how many times I went up, but it was often in the day; Miss Aylsworth was in the dining-room; saw Mrs. Nott in her room in the morning; she was in bed; I believe I spoke to her, but don’t remember what | said; think she was asleep; don't think | saw her again that day; she answered me when 1l* went to the door on Monday; and either Dr. Mi. or Més, Nott sent Jimmy Hardenbrook down to sce Mrs Dewey; | now wish it to be understood that | had no conversation with Mrs. Nott on that Monday, ut her on dress on when she came down stairs; saw her look at the bedy of her husband, and soon’ went up stairs again; Twent up some time after; when I went up | first, there was no one there; she was sitting on the bed; 1 went up there to do work in the room; 1 was running from Mrs. Nott’s room and down stairs about one hour; | 1 was bury getting supper ready for the watchers that | were to sit up with Mr Nott that night; the last time [ went up to her roem that night, was when [ took a cup of coffee and a cracker; Miss [ardenbrook and Miss | ‘Thorn were there; I talked with Mrs, Nott that night; | 1 asked her what I should get for tea, besides | many other questions.

She answered, “because I was | not arked about it.”) After 7 o'clock, Monday, I had no further conversation with Mrs. Nott that——.

Mr. W. R. Derr’s two high-bred Mexican coursers, Ab- del-Kader and El Hyder, are the steeds that are to be used to-night; and an eriginal equestrian in four acts, entitled, “ Mike Martin” will be played. ‘This drama is founded on the daring exploits and hair- 6 of the famous Thunderbolt and Light- Teckless heghwaymen that ever stained nnals of crime, and whose names twenty-five whieh is the years ago were the terror of Boston and the country found about it. Messrs, Stevens and MeFarland will perform the parts of the highwaymen, and Winans, Jordan, Dunn, &c., will all be included in the east. The scenes, as may be supposed, will be replete with a great variety of incidents, calculated to display the wonder- ful training of the horses; and leaps, escapes, purnults, &e., Will all be gone through with most spiritedly. We expect that the pirce will be entirely successful, as it is one of known merit, and has, we understand, been most carefully prepared for representation. Opera also will be given to-night, as the famous “Beggar's Opera will be played with a fine cast; Messrs, Bass, Gilbert, Dunn, Jordan, Mre, Gilbert, Mrs. Herbert and Miss ‘Taylor all appearing in it. All the original music will begiven. With such a bill, we expect the heuse will well filled this evening. Broapway Tuearne.—Notwithstanding the late tra- xedy—one of the bloodiest that ever sullied the ealm face of peace, or shocked humanity, and the bare re- cital of which, in time to come, will disturb the sere- nity of many'a happy fireside—the theatres are well attended; but the terrors, and wailings, and desela- tions of that night will never be forgotten. — Quis cladem illius noctis. egw ovat? dra Eaplicet? aut posit aquare tabores??* “ What tongue the dreadful slaughter can disclose? What eyes shed tears sufficient for our woes?!”’ ‘This evening the ballet of» Foletta, or the Enchanted Bolly? will be performed, for the seventh time; pre- vious to which the farce of the “ Irish Tutor’? will be presented, It has been laid down by the Herald, that large and populous communities, such as this metro- polis, cannot be kept in any degree of order without the existence of theatres and other places of public amusement; but it does not follow that an enlightened and independent press should be the obedient and ob- sequious servant, and the thick-and-thin parasite, of all those,who are engaged to appear there, ‘The press, if faithful to the end for which it was established, should form the public taste—should lead it, and cor- rect it when in error, It is incompatible wih its dig- nity and its vocation, and it is a em ptuous di regard of its own power, to cringe, or crawl, or pay court to any actor or actress, or to any person or per- sons Whatsover—provided always, that in the exercise of the high privileges which it holds in trust for the ‘welfare, happiness, and protection of so- ciety, it never loses sight of those civilities and amenities which mark civilized life. To be eter- nally writing praises is a most nauseous task, and upon the man of tarte and discernment: who reads them, it must be a bitter infliction, It is the duty of the critic to be generous in his praise where praise is due, and not unnecessarily severe in his censures, whenever they are called for. But there is a wide difference between malignant criticism and the honest exposition of a fault inan actor or actress ; the former is wholly unjustifiable, the latter is the reverse ; and, therefore, those who would take exception to, or feel offended at, it, are unworthy ‘of consideration, because they have but little regard for themselves, and less for others, No newspaper of respectability and influence should allow itself to be dragooned into the expression of a compliment to any tragedian, comedian, magician, or dancer; otherwise it becomes a mere worthless engine, ndatimid and servile retailer of the opinions and sentiments of others, ‘here are none who are not ob- noxious to fair criticism. whether on the stage of a the- atreor on the stage of life ; the most eminent on both come within the scope of the critic’s occupation. This ever was so in ancient times; it is so now, and will be so tothe end of the chapter. And it is remarkable that, at all periods of the world, the greatest man has been the humblest man. Plato was so humble that he did not consider it derogatory to him, as a philoso- pher, to ack questions of his pupils, for the sake (as he said) of information. The composer of those immortal musical epics, St. Paul and Elijah, was so unpretending, that, when asked, in London, by a gentleman who was himself a yery eminent composer, but by no means equal to Mendelssohn, to give him ghis opinion as to he merits of a composition which he had just finish- .d, the great master refused, on the ground of inabili- After much persuasion, however, he consented to tell him what he thought of it, but upon the expressed condition that the gentleman should criticise his (Mendelssohn’s) works. A person of genius will never be offended at honest criticism, And those who ima- gine that an independent journai ought to embrace views, and act upon them, whether it believes them to be correct or not, are very considerably in the dark as to the meaning and object of such a journal, Bunson’s Turatae.—The bill of this evoning says that strangers and visiters must not leave New York without going to this popular house, unequalled in the city for its attractions, its fine music, pretty scencry, excellent acting. by the very superior company, night greeted with the heartiest laughter and applause.— 1 | Potle’s comedy, in three scte, of “Paul Pry, or { hope I don’t Intrude.”” will be the first piece A popular bal- lad by Miss Hiffert; after which the very laughable farce of the“ Siamese Twins,” which has created 80 much fun and merriment, These attractions will, no doubt, be well received.

NINTH DAY. | Rocursten, June 1834 A. M. Long before the court and jury resumed their seats | this morning, the Court house yard,stoops, and hall, were one complete m: of people, waiting to gain admit- | tunce in the courtroom, When the doors were thrown open @ general rush was made by the crowd,allanxious | to get the best reat to view the counsel, Mr. Wheaton, | and the prisoner at the bar, After some little time | order was restored, and the Court was organized, when | Mr, Wheaton proceeded to finish the summing up on | the part ot the prosecution, | About half-past 11, Mr. W, brought his remarks to a close, when Judge Marvin commenced his charge tothe | jury. whieh occupied nearly two hours, ‘The jury then retired to another room to settle upon | their verdict, About #ix o'clock the jury sent word to the court that they bad agreed upon a verdict, when | they were brought inthe court-room and resumed their former seats. ‘The prisoner being in the jail, an officer | was despatched to bring him in to hear the verdict in | his case, He soon arrived and entered the Court-room when the court’s clerk,Mr, Nash, proceeded to cali over the names of the jurors; having all answered to their names, they were asked to deliver their verdict to the court, which they did by saying, we find the priscner not guilty | A portion of the crowd began to cheer the prisoner | and the verdict, but were soon checked by the officers | in attendance. When the prisoner heard the verdict he appeared to be overflowed with joy and excitement, so much so that he came near fainting in his chair. | He was then discharged, and conducted to the Eagle | Hotel by his counsel, "Mr, Seldon, where his daughters | were waiting to see him, He went up stairs, and there met his eldest daughter, Jane, who clasped him around | the neck in the most affectionate manner. I was in- | formed by Mr. Seldon that the meeting between Miss | Jane and her father was of such acharacter as to bring he tears from their eyes. The long and tedious affair is now over, the exeite- ment is lulled, and he may now rest in peace, Cope or Vinarxta.—The Legislature of Virginia, | pursuant to adjournment, assembled in extra ses- sion at Richmond on Monday last, for the purpose of revising the code of that State, to which business the session 1s exclusively confined. It does not appear that a quorum of members was present in either house, ‘The Senate lacked one member of a quorum and ad- journed over. Inthe House, however, Mr. Moncure, from the Revision Committee, reported an immense engrossed bill, making about a thousand pages, con- taining the first report of the revisors, with the com- anittee’s amendments, and embracing some fifteen titles and forty-six chapters. When acted on by the House it will be sent to the Senate, and then another division of the code taken up.—National Intelligencer, May 81, Fort Lravenwortn } —On Wednesday last, one company of Colonel Lorin’s Regiment Mounted Rifles left the Fort for Bear River, via Old and New Forts Kearney, and Fort Laramie, They Will compose a part of the garrison at Bear River, or vicinity, where a government post is to be established immediately, The rest of the command—destined, a part for Fort Laramie, and a part for Oregon—will start about the 10th inst. The reports of the prevalence of small pox and cholera at the Fort have been highly exaggerated, We are credibly informed that there haye been no cases of cholera, except amon troops which have just arrived from below; and even am: these, the disease is rapidly abati It is wapposed that the command of infantry destined for Santa Fe will also leave on or about the 10th jinst.—Weeton (Me.)

After the comedy, the new local drama of “bree Years After,” will be performed. and most of the characters that. flourished the “Mysteries and Miseries of New York, ? will again appear. Chantrau, of course, will be the Mose of the piece; Miss Mestayer, the Lize; Burke, Captain Tobin, By the reading of the programme, we expect this piece Will prove as amusing as any of the previous local dramas. ‘The National will be full this evening, without doubt. Cunisty’s Minsteeis —There is a saying that “there is a good time coming,” but with the Christy's it has come, for never was a band of performers of any kind so triumphantly successful for such a long space of tinte us these have been. | ‘They go, on in the same har- monicus way as ever. and with thelr elegant entertain- ments, nightly delight crowds of our most respectable citizens and their families, They will give an extra fine programme this evening. Castie Gannex.—The regular seasen at this magnifi- cent establishment, will commence this evening. and in the most brilliant manner, as the proprictors are about to give aserics of the most pleasing and original summer amusements that have ever been got up in New York. ‘The programme is to be as follows: every evening there will be a grand vocal and instrumental concert, in which artists of the highest merit wiil take part; indeed all the available musical talent in the country will be engaged in rapid succession, £0 as to please ‘all those | who may patronize this effort to give perfect rational | enjoyment to the citizens of New York. And to crown all Maretzek has been engaged a8 musical direc- ter, With such a list, the very best of music may con- fidently be expected. ‘The concert will commence ev- evening at 8 o'clock precisely; and after it a novel feature will be introduced, viz: a* Ball d’Ete,” or sum- mer Ball, in which visiters will have the privilege of ces of the day, under the direction of competent and highly respecta- ble “ Masters of the Ceremonies,” engaged expressly to secure a rigid observance of the rules adopted in the best conducted and most fashionable bail rooms in this city. We have no doubt that these admirably got up entertainments will mect with the fullest patronage from our citizens. Vanperneek’s Ant Union Concent.—This splendid | vocal and musical entertainment comes off on Thurs- day evening next, It will be a grand affair, as many of the most eminent artists will appear on the occa- sion, Among these we find the names of M. and Ma- dam Leati, Mrs, L.

The programme is’ deeply interesting, and no doubt the concert will bo well attended, The Scason—The Crops, The weather continues unusually cold, and the fo- rests are not yet in full leaf. Summer will begin ina few days, but the weather better becomes April than the last of May. Many corn fields are still unplanted in the lake region; and the tender blades above ground appear yellow and aguish, Fruit, too, is backward, and the crop will be light. Grace’ and winter graing look very well. From the wheat growing sections of Obio we have favorable reports, The cold spring has | given the growing grain a fine chance to spread and thicken, and most fields give abundant promise, The hilly sections have been washed, to the partial injury of the crop; but on the whole, the indications are gratify- ing to husbandmen, The reports from Western New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and fowa, all concur in representing the wheat prospects very fim The Wetumpka (Ala.) Guard, of the 22d ult. says :— For the last week, the ‘weather has been exceedingly cool for the season of the year in this latitude, In fact, we learn the young cotton is much retarded in its growth, and taking the sore-shin to a very great extent, leaving, in many fields, a very poor stand for acrop.— This unfavorable weather, coming at this season, after the most of the cotton crop has been chopped out to a stand, will certainly render a good stand Tepeua & por. sibility, more especially if the dry weather continue: hope, however, for the best; but indications at this time are anything but favorable for the cotton planter, The Savannah (Ga) Republican of the 29th uit. rays :—It is calculated by those best acquainted with the matter, that, on account of the April frosts and the overflowing of the Lromeg ott the cotton crop of the geo year will be less by half a million of bales, than it would otherwise be. ‘This, at the average price, would amount to fifteen millions of doll or # loss of one per cent deducted from the whole agricultural pro- ducts of the country for the present your The Boston Journal of the Ist inst, says: had two or three days of continued wet weather, and much rain has fallen, which has compietcly soaked the ground. Vegetation is now prepared for the appear- ance of @ hotsun, which ‘wilt give everything a fine start. Corn, potatoes, and garden vegetablés generally, are rather backward, but will soon reeover with the return of warm weather, Grass never looked better at this season of the year, Trees look finely, and the pros. pect for good erops of apples, cherries, aprioots and plums, is very good. ——_—___—_—_—4-— Friday of each week, from 8 to 10 o’elook, been fixed wpon by the President and his ceive company, bas Among leasure of a thiseity,a N Ewionants.—Yesterd ny we had the short conversation with Maj.Armour,who short time since, with the of going to California The party to which the Major inte attaching him- elf, preceded him some days, and after a short en- in the vicinity of St, Joseph, where and lost one or two of their number by the cholera, they struck their tents and pushed on for the plains with such celerity, that not- withstanding the Major followed with great expedition el i distance of seventy miles, he was unable to over- e them. Mojor Armour left this city om the steamer Mary Blane ; during the passage between here and Fort Lea- yvenworth, a number of persons on board died of cholera, and reveral who were attacked were restored to health. Among those who died, was a Mr. Treadwell, a mer- chant of Southport, Wisconsin, who was on his way to superintend the starting of several companics of emi- grants which he had fitted out for California. His re- mains were taken {to Fort Leavenworth, and Major Armour applied toCol. Summers, the commandant of the Fert, for permission to bury him in the grounds of the,Fort. The gallant col. at onge gave orders to have the remains interred in the officers’ burial ground, where they now rest. Maj Armour confirms the report which we received and published a short time since, from Mr. Wm. Bent. He says that water and grass are abundant on the plains. The cholera was sweeping the emigrants off in great numbers, and had made its ap- pearance in the regiment of mounted riflemen, which, when the Major passed it, had been encamped for two days, forty miles beyond St. Joseph. Out of one com- pany of New York emigrants, consisting of thirteen members, twelve had died of cholera; and twelve of of another company from the same State, had shared alike fate, Many misfortunes had attended the emi- grants on their journey, owing to their inexperience and the indifferent materials and construction of their wagons. He mentions that two of the wagons belovging to Dr. White’s party, of this city, broke down within two miles of St. Joseph, and three be- longing to Dr, Brown’s party, also of this city, shared the same fate, some twenty miles beyond, Persons are crossing the plains under every variety of circumstan- ces; sick and well, in wagons and carts, on horses and mules, and even afoot; not only men, but women and children, and women, too, with infants at the breast, are to be seen trudging along on foot The major says he has realized all that he has ever heard said relative o the change that takes place in the manners of men while travelling on the plains. He 's he saw but one company that appeared to have retained anything like the manzers of civilized men, and that wasa company of Kentuckians. It is a well known fact that men who are courteous and agreeable in their manners while sur- rounded with the comforts of civilized society, become little short of savageswhen crossing the plains. The major says that be saw those whose teams were unable to draw their wagons from arut into which the wheels were suf- fered to run, apply to men around them for assistance in getting out, and so far from rendering aid, the per- fons thus applied to would only laugh and trifle with the unfortunate applicant, and the greater the trouble, the more it was enjoyed by the specta- tors. Between St. Joseph and the “Station,” thirty miles distant, a place at which there is an Indian agency, a store,and a blacksmith’s shop, the Major saw fifteen broken down wagons. There was a delega- tion of four chiefs from the Sioux and Fox at the sta- tion, with an explanatory letter from the agent. asking a small rmuncration from the emigrants for the wood they would use while passing through their country, and expressing some fears of difficulty, in case the de- mand was not complied with, as wood is comparatively scarce, and the quantity used by the emigrants will be great.—St. Louss (Mo.) Union, May 26 Tur Overrtow at New Or. —The water, we ure pained to say, is still on the rise, although its encroachments are not so rapid as they haye hereto- fore been. Several streets are now covered down to Carondelet street, and the demand for skiffs is rapidly increasing. ‘The centre of Baronne street, throug! which the railroad runs, being cousideraly elevated. remains dry, and at the intersection of Common street it presents the appearance of a regular terry landing. A crowd of persons is almost always collected at this point, and some half dozen skiffs are generally to be seen waiting for pussengers. ‘The distress among the poor is on the increaso, and. we are happy to see that the relief committee appointed on Tuesday evening last are active in their exertions to obtain means to afford aid to such as stand in need, The committee of the First Municipality yesterday distributed upwards of $400, and we presume a still larger sum has been collected and distributed in our own municipality.

CITY TRADE REPORT. Satunpay, June 2—6 P. M. The Niagara not having reached the city until late in the afternoon, too late for the receipt of letters for which merchants were waiting, business generally on Yehange was rather languid. ‘The market for flour was less active, but firm, with moderate sales to the trade and a small lot for export, In wheat, sales were light. Corn was firm, with fair sules, at about 2cents advance per bushel. There was no marked change in rye flour or meal. Oats were quiet. Pork was quiet, and sales for immediate delivery light. A considerable parcel was sold for future delivery.

Matht, of the schooner Morris, attached to the Coast Survey, of the accessibility and capacity of Bull's Bay, and i's value as a harbor of refuge to vessels. bound to our pert when esught in a ertheaes ae. lore reeently, Lieut Mafht has again visited Bull's Bay, and has made = wore elaborate survey of its ‘"pproxches, and we learn from s gentleman who accompanied him, that ‘the result was even more favorable than upon the formerexamination. Thirteen and abolf feet water found on the bi he lowest tides, and it was the opinion of the offic gaged im the work, that thirteen and a half and fourtecn feet might be de- Tended upon at ordinary low tides. The harbor ia of easy ac es, and 9 licht houge at a proper point is all that ie want irg to make this discovery most valuable to the commerce of «ur port. | We quote from our former article the course taken. y Livut Mafiit in making the anchorage within the harbor of Hull's Bay. Following the Northern breakers dows from Cape Romain, carrying four fathoms water, until within mile of the Northeast end of Bull's Island, he brought shat Jont te bear WN W by compass, and rnnning directly for he carried fourteen fect water over tho bar, the de being sbout two-thirds flood. When within acable’s le island, struck six fathom’s water, when he hauled round the Point, and anchored off the creek in five fathoms, with admi- rable holding ground, and ina position perfectly sheltered from every wind.—Charleston Mercury, May 30. ‘Whatemen.
