(Before Judge Ulshoeffer ) Tui the Matter of Carl Ferdinand Weller and Three Others. — Welter and-bis three comrades shipped at Hamburgh im the Don Quixotte, on a voyage to England, from thence to sail again to any port where order or freight might seud them. and thence to Hamburgh, or where- ever their dostined piace might be. The vessel eailed from Hamburgh to Oran, on the Black Sea; thence to New York, thence to South America aud back to New \ ork, and the captain ot the Don Quix- ‘otte insists on their going back to South America again. The men refused to go, insisting that the yoy- ‘age'was ended, whereupon the captain confined then on beard A writ of habeas corpus was then issued, and they were brought before Judge Ulshoefler. On the = ofthe Bremen Consul it was argued that under reaty entered into in 1827, between the United 8 8 government and the ifanse Towns, the lazs of the Place where the shipping articles were entered into ‘Were to govern, and that therefore they could not be Seeberera until they returned to Hamburgh. where they shipped. On the other side, it wes argued that ac- cording to that doctrine, they might be kept going from ‘port to port during their lives, without being allowed te return to the port where they shipped, which not be the meaning of the contract. jis Honor, u full consideration cf the matter, decided that y were not bound to go again to South America and or- dered them to be discharged. It wppeared that pend- ing the proceedings before Judge Ulshoeffer, Captain Ost, of Don Quixctte, obtained a warrant from Judge Letts, upon an affidavit that they were deserters from the vessel, under which they were arrested afrer “being dircbarged by Judge Ulehveffer. The caso will Stace before Judge Betts to-morrow, and be finally de- cided.

The deposits have increased $194,079, while the line of | discounts has fallen off $164,606. These changes are all of the most favorable character, and indicate a | growing strength in the condition of the banks. So far as we can judge by the monthly reports, there ap- | pears to have been @ revslution in the system of man- | aging the banks of South Carolina; and a comparison of | the statement made in September last with that made — jm July, shows a change in the leading departments, calculated to give all interested in them great confi- dence. In September, 1848, the proportion of specie on hand to paper in circulation was as one to four, while in July, 1849, it was asone'to two. In September, 1848, the line ot discounts was $021,317 larger than in July of this year, while the deposite were $722,786 less. If these banks go on as they have commenced ; if the leading departments continue to occupy a relative position similar to that now existing, public confidence will become permanently reinstated, and all interested will ultimately be greatly benefitted. siveds of | ‘The third annual report of the Nashua and Worces- ter Railrcad Company gives the annexed statement of the indebtedness of the corporation: — Naenva ann Worcester Rarnoap.—A: Bonds (for iron) payable 1849, 1851. ..... « $4 Bonds secured by mortgage payable in Sept., siou te jarch, 1862. 48,500 00 Sundry notes and interest due on Sundry ac ts.

The | banks of the centre of the Btate do more of this busi- ness than any others, it is the safest and the most desirable of all, as the paper discounted is usually drafts on the Atlantic cities, and the banks are glad to get hold of such. The banks in this way secure a good cireulation, and place their fands where they are the most wanted, and of course the most valuable. The operations of these traders and the raisers amount to millions of dollars every year. There are four classes © of persons engaged in this business. First, the raiser of cattle, who sells his cattle to the grazer, when they are one oF two years old; second, the grazers, who are owners of large tracts of pasture third, the cat- tle feeder, who takes the cattle in the fail and fattens them on corn for ‘he market; be is a large raiser ot corn, which he cultivates expresely for this business | and consumes it all on his land. This is probably ar profitable a part of the operation as any; and the fourth is, the banker who furnishes the funds.

Troubles of a Clerkship—Extraordinary Revelations about Col. Webb—Iuplicity of the Cabinet— Ewbank’s Appowntment, as Commissioner of Pa- tents--A Plot'--‘‘Dirty Ebenezer”-The “ Union” and “ Republic”—Pleasures of a Clerkship. “ Here’s a pretty kettle of fish!” Who would have supposed that I could have kicked up such a row in this good city of Washington—I, a poor devil, who gets three dollars a day for filing half a dozen letters a day in one of the departments—I, who care so little for politics, and only occasion- ally amuse myself by scribbling a random epistle to one of the newspapers 1 Would you believe it? My letter to you, the other day, which you printed forthwith, created quite a sensation! What a row there was, to be sure! Ewing and Reverdy John- son swore that some rascally clerk, in one of the departments, must have written that cursed epis- tle. Clayton was very indignant, and drank an additional pete 06 beer, to smother fisire. A half-erazy Virginian, who has a desk in the same department in which I serve my country, and who is continually inditing serenades and fove-ditties, was strongly suspected, and escaped summary re- moval only by the skin of his teeth. | You see, then, that I must be cautious in me king these awful disclosures, I am obliged to keep all my memoranda im a cipher, which 1s known only to my dear cousin Jemima, and she is, alas ! more than six hundred miles off. Even my boarding-house privacy is by no means secure, for Tom, Dick, or Larry, may, at any moment, burst im on me, in the very midst of my traitorous correspondence, But 1 must write. I must ease my bosom of this perilous stutl. So, here goes for avother instalment of weason. 1 can’t believe that you have yet heard all about peor Colonel Webb; aud when my hand is’ in, I mey as well tell you all that 1 Know of his sorrowful story, Ofcourse, you recollect, that before the election, poor Webb, with all the restof your pre- cious Taylor men in New York, loudly protested that he would never think of sach a wieked thing as asking for office. Bat some time before the General arrived in this city, Webb was on the spot—as large, burly, and loquacious as ever. Oh! how he did talk! Before he was tweaty-four hours in the place, almost every cabman on the avenue, and all the bar-keepers at the various ho- tels, were aware that the yreat Colonel Webo, of New York, had come on to get appointed minister to Madrid, or Berlin, or Constantinople. He gave very nice dinners, too, and several very regpecta- ble’ suppers, which showed his knowledge of Washington patiictisin, Bless your inaocentsoul ! you have no idea what can be done here by means of a tolerable dinner, aud abundance of wine. I have known the whole House ef Representatives to be carried by a well contrived supper. So Webb dined and wined suudry * leaders” of the new dy- nasty, and they all laughed and qualled, and joked and talked, and sang aud shouted together, like a set of jolly good fellows— “All of the olden time’? Now, it so happened, that from tke very jump the old General was unchangeably hostile to the nomination of Webb. fe Was approached on the subject at an early period. | need aot mention the neme of the agent, but to all representations in fa- vor of Webb, General Taylor had one uniforia ane ewer, * For Mr. Webb personally, thave high Yr spect; | em grateful for what he has said of me bat leannet nominate him to a high diplomatic office ; his public eareer inust for ever forbid me to venture on tha’ his was before the President had even set out ou his journey to Washington ; and of this determination on the part of General Tay- lor, every member of the cabinet was tully aware. Mark that, and then let me know what you think of these gentlemen, when I tell you that every mo- ther’s sen of them gave Webb every earthly rea- son to believe that he was sure of the nomination! You know all this to be true; but doubtless, some of your readers, not so well versed as we are in the moralities ef Washington life, will open their eyes and pause for a moment. Just think of it; here was poor Webb, great, big, innocent, verdant chap that he is, feasting these cabinet ministers, a counting every one of them his dearest, trend, while they, with their legs under his muhogany, were laughing in their sleeves at their dupe. avers one of them knew that General Taylor never woul nominate Webb, aud yetevery one of themsolema- ly assured Webb that he would have his support, and that they were almost certain that he would be nominated in cabinet council. 1 challenge con- diction of these facts. At this very moment the cabinet 18 trembling tor fear of the Courier. Yes, mean, deceitful, treculent creatures as they are, they now await like spaniels the outpoured wrath. of the awakened Webb. Did you ever hear of tuch despicable duplicity? It 19 quite in ge with the conduct and character of the cabinet. It was only the othefweek that Clayton promised a rimanent place in the Land Ollice toa newspaper letter-writer named Harriman, and oa that very eeme day went to the President and procured the appomtment for poor “ Oliver Oldschool,” alias Nathan Sargeant, the old correspondent of the Philadelphia United states Gazette, and late Ser- eanfeat-Anms of the House of Representatives. ut Webb!

We call him * Dirty Ebenezer ; but upon my honor, as a gentleman and a scholar— (my mother was a daughter of one ef the oldest houses in South Carolina, and L was thogged at “William and Mary,”)—1 do believe that this same “ Dirty Ebene? has had his eye-teeth cut, and conceels, under the unwashed crust of forty years, a consumed quantity of cunning. I saw the chap peering in upon me about ten nunutes since. Well, Vi close the door asd go on. * . . * I dare say, you astonished at the joner of Patents.
