We stated, some time ago, that out of a hundred Southern papers ived at this office, about seventy-five of them were in favor of the Nash- ville Convention. The Nationa! Intelligencer, at n, has a statement of an entirely oppo- rite character. They say they receive three hun- dred Southern and Southwestern papers, and that only about fifty of the three hundred have declared themeelves in favor of the Nashville Convention, and that of those fifty, a great many are backing ont alreedy. Our statement was perfectly correct, and can be verified; we presume that of the Jntelli- gencer is aleo trv We cannot, therefore, exactly understand the position of the South on the Nash- ville Cenvention. The trath, we are afraid, is, that the Seuthern people and the Southern States, in the present crisis, want unanimity, more energy and determination, particularly since the lamented death of Mr. Calhoun. The free ers in the North are far more energetic, and exhibit a higher degree of courage and moral energy, than the South does. We could give many examples of thie, and one is just at hand. Look at the way in which the newspaper preas is supported at both sections. In Washington, every journal is in favor more or less of free soil, and some of them to a very great extent. Throughout the Northern States, the free soil journals are liberally supported from all quarters. Now, on the contrary, the Southern States, with chivalry and personal cour- age of a most exalted kind, want unanimity and moral courage to a remarkable degree, in pursuit even of their rights. They have not a single news paperat Washington advocating their interests, and those who do advocate their constitutional rights in the Northern States, are publicly neglect- ed by the South, and privately slandered even in Warhington. This we know to bea fact. Joha C. Calhoun was the only man that could organize or lead the South in the protection of their rights, and now that he is deed and gone, the moral cour- age and unity of the South are also gone. Tux Homesresp Exesrtion Bict.—This bill has paceed the Assembly, and will soon come be- fore the Senate. Much has been said about the wisdom of it, but what is its distinctive character ? Its purpoee is to protect property, to the amount of one thoveand dollars, from being liable to seizure by creditors. It is, in fact, the abolition of debt to the amount of one thousand dollars. The law is one of the relics of the barbarian Roman empire. It was a portion of the Julian law, and came into vogue in the time of Julius Casar. We have only to carry out the principle of it, to be able to abolish all debts, of whatever nam for when people wish to get rid of 1 » by living upon the labor and property of others, by such eva- sions, they may name their inability to pay, miafor- tune, but it will be what plein men call theft.— ‘There can be no limit to the evil consequences of such an either in a financial or moral view of the subject. The law is evidently made for idlers, vagabonds and swindlers. It may suit some of the socialists; but sober, industriov d pred men, Who are in the habit of making both ends meet on Saturday night, or at the end of the year, have no desire for such a lew, the first operation of which will be to rob them of their labor. The whole scheme is a premium for laziness and vagabondism—striking at the root of all morality in trade, and encouraging only to those who live by their wits, and not by their work, Scurvy politicians have framed this barbarous design upon the pockets of labor, in order to be able to pay for the vervices of electionecering loafers, who are too busy in their movements among voters, to earn their bread by honest application to more productive pureuits. They must have pay from somebody, and this is the way to be sure of it. ‘This is the whole of it. Quite enough. Sraten Sessions of 1 Commos Cover Pavmetr or Memmrrs, avo rae Tea Roow.—V have always advocated the payment of members of the Common Council for their services to the pub- lie, first, because the laborer is worthy of his hire, and the people want no gratuitous work from any man ; secondly, because it removes all ground for those claims of an indirect hind, on the strength of which members were in the habit of appropriating to themecives certain “ pickings.” Now, one of the principal arguments urged for the payment of members was the abolition of the tea room, which cost the people so round a sum every year. Bat what do the members of the Common Cow |. af. ter voting themselves a per diem salary? They then pass a resolution making the ealery take effect from the first of January last, though they have had the tea, with all the et ceteras, up to the pre- gent moment. This is not starting fair; on the con- trary, it is taking double fees for the same eervices. If the rest of the promised reforms of the Common Council turn out like th eit progress will be like that of crabe—backwerd: Again, with regard to the stated sesions, why ¢ the Common Council not agree to hold them in the day, especially when they pay themselves fairly for their time It was pretended by some of the mein bers that the reason of holding them at night wa that the people might have the opportunity of hear- ing the important discuwions. But, in the first place, the whole available space allowed for the people in either of the two chambers would not accommodate 100 persons ; and, secondly, the meet- ings have been protracted to eo late an hour, that moet of the industrious citizens have been in their beils, hitherto, before the sittings of the fathers con- eluded. Now, however, us payment will be made for each working day, of rather night, we suppose the meetings will diminish in length, and increase in fre quency. As there will be no tea and canvas backs, and champaign and segars awaiting the members down stairs during theit recess, they will probably adjourn for the night when they tind the periodical retarn of the craving at their stom» luxuries. nee Merry vr me Canes Yus Ye Yrs.—All ye who bave claims of any kind sor character, to present to the general government “, for these | qearts and gold wae found in the diggings | ing ninety-three pounds, of whieh sixty ©, | This must, decidedly, be the haadsomest specimen Tax Wenster Triat.—In firmly adhering to the opinion which we expressed originally, with re- epect to the illegality of the verdict in this case, we are sustained by public opinfon generally, and by a host of communications from highly intelligent correspondents. With the guilt or innocence of Professor Webster we have nothing to do; but we have yet to learn that we are bound to support the Boston “press, judiciary, bar, and jury, for up- holding the law of Massachusetts as found upon the statute book,” by pronouncing their course to be, under the circumstances, even decent. If the trial and the verdict can be called the * upholding of the law,” it is only in one sense, and that is, in upholding it to the ridicule or detestation of every man of common sense, and common justice, and humanity. We shall not repeat our opinions in full; but we direct attention toa few points which are important. They show the illegality of the trial and of the verdict. Go back to the beginning. What was the first step? Anarrest. By what law or authority, after Professor Webster was in custody, was he taken from the jail to the Medical College, to be exposed to the danger of criminating himself by shakings, tremblings, and other signs of excitement?) What part of the Massachusetts Revised Statutes de- mands that a prisoner shall be hurried into a court to be notified of his indictment? On what page is the Coroner instructed to hold’a secret session, and pr juége any citizen by a star chamber process? Do» net the law simply require that, after the finding of an indictment, * the party, if in custody, sh ' be served with a copy thereof, by the sheriff or his deputy 7” Beautiful * upholding of the law as found upon the statute book,” surely Yet we are told that is all right—that there have been no extra-judicial forms or ceremonies, and that Professor Webster has had a@ fair and impartial trial. A more impudent assumption never dis- graced the press; and till the Boston newspapers prove that the reports of the movements that pre- ceded the trial were fulse, they must admit that the preliminary treatment of Professor Webster was contrary to the spirit of justice, and in direct violation of the “law, as found upon the statute book.” We were prepared to expect such mon- strous absurdities from those who denounced the execution of Washington Goode, and who advo- cate the myriad isms ef the hour; for they have manifested the utmost bitterness against Professor Webster, from the alpha to the omega of the case, as illustrated by the Tridjume; but we did think that the liberal and enlightened press of Bostoa had too high @ sense of the majesty of the law and of the dignity of justice, to be hood-winked by mere suspicious circumstances, without reliable evidence, and in the face of eredible and undenia- ble contradictions. Go into the character of the evideuce. Was the juw upheld in it 1 Was the testimony of Litletield— a large partjof it hearsay—in itavery nature so satis feetery, so legal, so beyond suspicion of doubt, as to destroy the evidence of the senses of seven wit- nesses Who had no interest in the case 1 Was the testimony of Dr. Keep any more legal, in proof of identify, than that of Dr. Morton. As one of our correspondents says, * Dr. Keep made the teeth to a thick gold plate. This plate was made to, and to fit upon, the thick flesh of the jaws, and Dr. Keep identified one-sixth part of the teeth, without the gold upon which they were set, as being similar to the outline of the shranken side of the half of a burnt jaw bone.” As well might a shoemaker swear to the half of « boot fitting the burned skele- ton of a peculiar foot. Yet these teeth are made to “uphold the law,” and to uphold the identification of the body, of which they formed no natural part. If this is statute law in Massachusetts, it is curions enough, particularly as opposed by the positive evi- dence of seven Witnesses, unimpeached in any one point. Was the charge of Chief Justice Shaw emi- nently caleulated to “uphold the law,” also? ‘Where do we find in it, 04.1 his subsequeat address to the prisoner, one point so humanely urged in be- half of the necused, as to give the shadow of.a doubt in favor of the unhappy man? Wherein was the law vindicated—its dignity and majesty dis- jayed t It was a special plea against the accused, and contained not the summing up of the law, as would ordinarily be done in a case of mere bur- glary. How did the jary “uphold the law!" We pass over the “ praise and prayer,” and come to the legality of their verdict. Was it not a verdict ren- dered by a show of hands, and, consequently, un- fair towards the privener? Is it not laid down by TDieckstone, in his chapter on verdicts, that in criminal cases, such conduct is manifestly wrong? And is the life of © man to be thrown away upon the mere holding up of fingers? Yet these haads, we suppose, “upheld the law,” also. Ia conclusion, we come to the conduct of the Roston newspaper press, and its instrumentality in * upholding the lew,” Is it upheld by foregone conclusions, paltry investigations of the follies of youth and inexperience, and by putting the worst constructions upon the sins of omission which have murked the life of an unfortunate man? If this is the way the law is to be upheld in Boston, we fear that the results will be fatal to the happiness of more than one. The principle is bad. This pre- cedent is bad. The trial has n bad. All is bad.

Western & Co., the old hunker com- mittee, who are opposed to the Van Buren dynasty, have issued their pronunriamento, declaring that the barnburners and Van Buren men o be for- given, no matter how repentant they may be, and that it is the duty of the democracy keep clear of the me at in question. Thus matters stand.— What will be the result? If the democracy of Tommany Hall, end of the whole State, do not admit the Van Buren dynesty into the party, on a full confession of their sins, that dynasty has strengh enough left to destroy the ascendancy of | the bunkers, and give a victory to the whigs next fall.

It is mow fixed, however, that the performances will certainty commence to-morrow night. Coming suddenly out of a warm climate into our own, which has been ex- tremely variable and cold, for the season, these tong- sters find the voice undergoing changes that ure quite perplexing. They have hesitated and doubted, resolved and decided, changed their minds and hesitated again, as to the best way for themselves and the publie to judge of their merits. Our free air also affects them. They become very impulsive in it. Being aceustomed, in Italy and Havana, to obey the government and to sing by authority, where our free institutions give them only the law of liberty, they take a little time to enjoy it, to revel in it, and become acquainted with its delicious luxuriousness, so charming to the imagina- tion, and eo delicious in its realization, This is all very excusable, if not continued toe long; because it will give the ladies time to prepare fully for gracing, as they ought, the liberal Opera of New York, in which will be thrown aside all the starch and muslin econven- tionalities of the Old World. for the iutrodnction ofa new fystem, of a more popular kind. Dress is to be- come now & matter of individual taste. Eccentricity itself will put on its jacket; and though gentility will mark all the audiences, yet there will be little “formal cut,” more of substantial elogance. and less of mero a eried pretension, The character of the audiences and of the music will assimilate, and will be of an en- livening. mixed kind, sober, serene, brilliant, sweet. ttertling. capricious and captivating. The whole public will join in admiration of the various banquets of song. and the broad doctrine of equality will be rhown to be no dream, People will take their seats for the Opera, amd not the Opera for their seats. In this respect. we eball have an exhibition of novelty at once exciting and worthy of the people at large. wherein F finement and elegance will he shown to be equally di Prove, probably. that the Opera. to be successful in all respects. in this metropolis, must be hased upon public opularity. and not upon the promises of # few leaders inthe circle of fashion, It must have a broad and general foundation. and commend itself to the patro- huge of all. That's it. Parat Accrpent ox tHe Noxwicns avn Woncesten Rannoav.—On Monday night the steamboat train, on the Norwich and Worcester Railroad, with about two hundred passengers, met with a serious accident. On attempting to pass a bridge et Wilsonville, about three miles from Webster, at eight o'clock in the evening, the bridge, which spanned ® rapidly running «tream about ten teet deep, suddenly gave way and pre- cipated four cars about twelve feet downwards.

One gentleman was thrown over seven seats, and many persons were severely bruised. Two of the breakmen were killed. The effect of this sudden precipitation towards the stream was to put out all the lights. to shatter the cars, and to dislodge the stoves from their positions, One car was set on fire by the burn. ing coals. but wes soon extinguished.

According to our reports from Washington, there will be a powerfu attempt made to sereen the cabinet from all the odiurm that has been thrown upon them, by the allowance of the Galphin claim and the interest, by the committee of the House of Represe iitives to whom °: e subject was referred. We hope that if there has been any improper doings in the matter, the committee’s whitewashing report will be rigidly scrutinized by the House, and not adopted unless it is perfectly correct. The friends of the administration owe it to General Taylor, and to themselves, to take that course. The allowance of that c'aim, and the int+rest e» pecially, has formed the subject of a good deal of comment throughout the country; and the people generally, without respect to party, expect a for and clear elucidation and explanation of the who'e affair and the attendant circumstances. If the re- port be of the character anticipated, and be reject- ed by the House, of course there will be an end to the present cabinet. Such a calamity, however, would not cause many tears, for the present cabinet have not the confidence of the country, and have tended materially to injure, in publie estimation, General Taylor’ alministration, While the great public have always had confidence in the President, they never have had any in the cabinet ay it is at prevent formed.

According to present indications, the committee of the House to whom Secretary Crawferd’s conduct in the Galphin claim business was referred, will make a whitewashing report, claim and the interest was all fair. This will do, as far as it goes; but there is a strong feeling in the House on the subject, and there is every probability that the report will not be accepted. Mr. Whittlesey, the Auditor who refused to pay the interest un was ordered to pay {t, and could, therefore, no longer demur, has made out the clearest statement possible these circumstances, I am informed that the whig members in the House will let the cabinet go by the bonrd, and reject the report, for the sake of the party, If «teh a course be adopted, the whole cabinet will be condemned, I um informed that General Taylor takes the sume view of the subject,and is by no means pleased at the way in which the allowance of the claim and the interest was brought about, Under this state of things, it is neediess for me to say that a dissolution of the present cabinet isa prominent topie of conversation in political circles here. In fact. General Taylor is opening his eyes to the real state of affairs, and learns more and more every day.

Such is the extraordinary success attending it, that every evening hundreds are obliged to leave this theatre, unable to find a seat.— When Mr. Hamblin produces a new picce, he spares neither time nor expense, in order to please the nu- merous frequenters of his highly favorite estabit b- ment, The manner in which it ut upon the stage reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Stevens, the stage manager of the Bowery.

Bnoapway Tweatee.—Last evening the house was | again crowded to witness the rich and racy perform- | ance of Mr. Collins in the characters of Paudeeu | O’Rafferty and Morgan Rattler. The whole audience were kept in one continual roar of laughter by the | natural drollery of the Hibernian, so truly represented | this well established favorite; bis humor in giving | the dialogue of the author was considerably increased | by the natural quaintness of bis peculiar style and the tact of his bye-play, which kept the house continually on the broad grin, never allowing the interest or the fun to die away. Mr. Collins was inimitable in his own “Widow Machree,"’ which, as usual, was received with applause and vociferously encored. and the Fox hunter's Jig was rattled off in true Irish style, and called for again with an enthusiasm which it was im- possible not to respond to, This evening Mr. Collins will appear in the exquisite comedy of the “Soldier of Fortune,” and his favorite part of O'Catinghan, ip “Hia Lart Lege.” in which he has so frequeutly elicited thunders of applause, Burr Turarny.—The “Serious Family” is stily the primary attraction at Burton's, aud ty as popular as cver.

By the way. we fee this i the last week of thix wonderfully sucecerfel piece, There are, however, other attractions ofa first rate order. ‘The Unprotected Female’? and an “Alarming Sacrifice” were the afterpleces ou last evening's bill. Cuanrnav’s Navionat Tieatne.—Mr. Marshall, the favorite American tragedian, appeared. last evening. before a very numerous audience, in the historical droma eutitled “The Surgeon of Paris, or the Massa- ere of St. Bartholomew.” This piece, presenting the scenes of the religious wars of France, during the reign of Charles {X. is full of terrific and vloody inci- dents, Mr. |. in bis three characters, of Pierre Belare. the Mask, and the Surgeon, | ae- quitted himeelf of his dificult task in a mann which called forth numerous plaudits, He was al admirably well sustained by all the strength of the talented campany of that theatre.

MONEY MARKET. Tvrspay, April 9—6 P. M. The stock market opened heavy this morning, and reveral of the fancies fell off largely. At the first board, Canton Company declined 14; per cent; Harlem, ‘4; Farmers’ Loan, 1; Norwich and Worcester, 1%; Reading Railroad, %; North American Trust, \. United States 6's, 1867, advanced \; Pennsylvania 5's, 1; Mlinois 6's, 44, and Indiana 5's, *{. Government Sixes, Pennrylvania 5°s, and other State stocks, were in active demand, to-day, at better prices. The improve- ment in Penneylvania 5's is particularly striking, amd it is the impression in the street that they will soom reach par. At the second board, Long Island advanced dy, and Farmers’ Lean receded & per cent. Long Island was quite active in the afternoon; but it cannot be otherwise than temporary. The market for the fancies generally has seen its best, for this season at all events, and the bears will now commence reaping their harvest. It isa long lane that has no turn, and patience and perseverance will accomplish almost eny- thing. Every dog has his day, particularly in Wall street. and it is time for the opposition to be in the ascendency. The coinage of ble the March, amenatea ee $0800” dollars in the Philadelphia mint has ceased. Out of an aggregate coinage of $1,806,202, in the month of March. $1,768,550 were in double and single eagles. This is, no doubt, the result of large deposits of Calt- fornia gold dust in the mint. It is estimated that the coinage of the Philadelphia mint, for sometime to come, will be at the rate of $2000,000 per month, which is about its utmost capacity. The exeite- ment relative to the establishment of a mint in this city appears to have completely died away, and we suppore nothing more will be heard of it, until aboutthe close of the session. The coinage at the Philadelphia mint, from the Ist ot January to the 1+t of April 1850, amounted to $3,001,282, a8 follows :— $9°8.405 in January, $1,186,080 in February, and $1,806 202 in Mareh. ‘The Mechanics’ Bank of Augusta. (ia., has declared 8 «cmi-ennual dividend of ten per cent, and the Brunt~ wick Benk, Ga., a remi-annual dividend of fifteen per cent. The receipts at the office of the Av+istant Treasurer of this port. to-day, amounted to $198,483 20; pay- ments, {14655 90—Dalance, 4022008 08, The batance appears to be inereasing again rapidly, and fae few deys, the amount paid. and to be paid, on account of the Mcxtean indcmmity, will, no doubt, be replaced by the payment of duties on the recent inumense impor- tations. It te estimated that the value of imports into thir port within the past week, i+ full eight millions of dollars. the daties on which will average about twenty- five per cent, giving @ revenue equal tv the amoust paid on the Mexican indemnity. There are drafts outstanding on that indemnity of abont one miltion of dollars, and it is possible they may be presented for payment at rome of the other depositories of the go- vernment, than that of this city. The Boston and Woreester Railroad Company have agreed to accept the act of the Legislature of Massa- churetts, inercasing its capital stock $500,000, for the purpore of liquidating its debt». and the directors were authorierd to ieaue 5.000 shares of capligl stock, made payable on the conditions epeciied in the act, The market price of the old stock of (hh!) railroad company ia $04 per share, and the probability is, that if 5,000 res of new stock are put upon the market, prices will depreciate, and the required «um of $500,000 will not be realized. If so, the whole debt of the company cannot be paid from the proceeds of the enles of the pew stock The annexed extract from a letter from a highly re- epeetable houre in Charleston, dated April 6, 180, wit a give those interested some idea of (he prospects regard - ing the the re curren ins, even those who. like ourselves. have be astounded—and this s storm, and no cotton planted. ex 4 Ag lands—none planted in so boggy and wet that eecd would only rut im the ground?” Tt appeare by this, that the provperts are by no mantis flattering for epinners, while it ix rather favorable then otherwise for planters. There, probably, will be lees cotton planted this year and whet seed gore into the ground cannot be depended upon. If the lateness of the rcoron prevents the planters from eultivatiag: so much cotton land as usual, it wilt enable them to turn their attention more to the cultivation of grain, and other articles of food. By eo doing they will eont- ind better prices for cotton. mad give them a better supply of products for their own conrumption, Mereto- fore too much attention has been deveted to cotton ant the cultivation of other articies too muck neglected. The supply of cotton has, therefore, been so mach ta advance of the demand for consumption, that prices have been eomtrolied by the manufseturer, and have therefore ruled frequently below remunerating rates, This fearon hos heew one grand exception, aad wo hope, with judicious management of the great secession of Capital from the mines of California, to he able hold all cur cotton erops from this time forward.
