| : ‘The Case of Prefessor Webster. STATEMENT OF THE DISSENTING COUNCILMAN. [from the Boston Atlus, July 22) Roxsuny, July 20, 1850. Gunr:—Since the decision of the Bxecutive in the ease of Professor Webster has been made public, and it is known that I stood alone in op; ion to it, £ have been repeatedly asked tor the ressons of my dis- sent, I had written the enclosed pi Paper for the par- indieated therein, but not perceiving any adven- that could arise from pursuing, that pucpose I @id not present it to the Council. you wat publish it, all who feel interested will find the reeroas, whieh influenecd my judgment, so far as they can be ex- ressed in brief terms, and you will save me besides, m the frequent repetition of them. I must add that I never sew Professor Webster, or any of bis family, to my knowledge; and, therefore, have no more thy for him or them than I should have for rake im like cireumstanees. [fe similar case could have been made out for Pearson, I sbould have been quite as strongly in favor of comme- ting bis as at. To those who believe beyond the pearing of doubt that Professor Webster pre- athe murder of Dr. Parkman, my reasou of no importance. Those who believe otherwise and those who have grave doubts as to the truth in Py ease, will, perhaps, find some value in them Toons tr ou, PELAND.

It did not seem reasonable to him that a man —— the position of Prof. Webster—in possession iderable amount of Property tn receipt of & Tare incom e— surrounded wealthy friends—eould purpime ef retengae i a eines fe reve: it upom an ua Tredi oF of releasin himself from a paltry debt of it he had become indeed 80 lost for his own reputation jiness of where he was liabie toluterruptionsnd exposure at any ment. And aside from all this, it seemed still more ‘unreasonable that s man ot bis great chemical knowl- edge, knowing ashe did the means whereby a body ae entirely destroyed in a few hours, should have meditated such a crime without using his knowl- the means which would have ja- d secured his safety.

[From the Boston Transcript, July 22) About balf-past ten o'clock this foreacon, High Bheriff Eveleth, accompanied by Rey. Dr. Putnam and Deputy Jailor Andrews, visited the cell of Joha W. Webster, and after announcing to him the object of their visit. the sheriff proceeded to read to him the warrant fer his execution The prisouer listened at- tentively, and at the conclusion of the reading, said, . te cena n 4 it reasons re bat it would La have been divulged, nor made Se tase of estion in this case, had it not been for an aceidental remark of his own, which reached the ear ef his spiritual adviser after the confession had been made. The improbabilities in it, which have drawn fo strom, the attention of the committee, and in- duced to withhold their belief in its truth, are, to his mind. strong evidence ef its truth; for if Pr Bxecutive was given on Fridey—and his execution is to take place on Friday. God's will be done—I am resigned to my fate.” The sheriff and jailor then retired, leaving Dr. Putoam with bim in his cell The time fixed in the warrant for the exvoution, is between the hours of 8 and 11 o’clock A.

MONEY sao eapar, July 23-6 P. M. for solemnising the obsequies of General Taylor, late was almost entirely suspended. Btores inthe principal thoroughfares were closed throughout the day, and the most promipent buildings tastefully decorated with black and white. The board of brokers having adjourned over from Monday to Wednesday, there was no regular sales of stocks. There were several small operations In the street, at prices current at the md yesterday. The receipts at the office of the Assistant — of thie port, to-day, amounted to $102,690 71; pay- $4,590 78; balance, $4,177,370 65. The reeeipte — frcm duties om imports have, for some time past, been very large, and for come time to come they will pro- | bably be very great. Every packet «! from Europe, arriving at this port, is Glied with foreign merchandise, and the Importations for the fall frade will, without doubt, be immense, It. is estimated that the receipts from customs at this port, for the dollars, ®hia would be equal to an importation of twenty millions of dollar for the month. Mow all these goods are to be paid for, le « question franght with much interest. It is eur opinion that an expor- tation of at Ineet fifteen miliions of specie will be re quired, to equaiiae the balanes between this country and other parte ofahe world, between this and the Ist of January, 1861. Je Galifornia supplies us with that acnount of gold, we.oan send it fonward without feeling ita Jos®; but from our present eugply of epecie, a de- soaad for fifteen millions for ant would serfourly Affect the money market, compel the banks to contraet theit movements, Americag securities will, dowbtiees, even at current quotations, fi tend y but lim ited demand abroad; but a# the emount afloat in our markets is small, we cannot rely upon them for remittance to soy extent to liquidate private in- debtedness ereatod by the purelsase of foreign mer- chandise. During the past two yeats we have been paying for a portion of our foreign importations, hy remittenees of public stoeke, or in other words we have sudstite | te bile for private oredit, It is trae that we have pus Off the dey of payment, ten, fifteen amd twenty years; but we haves large amount of interest to pay sanuelly on phe spourities hekd by foreigners. It weutg | ‘This day baving been set apart by the authorities | President of the United States, business of all kinds | ae and steamship | month of August, will amount to full five millions of have been Detter for all parties concerned, and for the country at large, hed shipments of specie been made at once in liquidation of any balance against us trade, than to carry it forward by sub- idences of public credit, and thas not only digressing she extent ef our indebtedness, but actually giving an impetus to private credit, e: by ereating a buoyant state of the money market, and bringing about an artificial condition of things, highly injurious, and calculated to lead all classes | into speculation and extravagance. Had largo | sums of specie been shipped, when the excessive | fmportations had ereated @ balance against us, it | would bave operated ass eheck upon the move- ments of importers, have had ® tendeney to control prices. and in this way have kept the imports within safe and proper limits. The amount of specie neces- sary to have liquidated the balance at that time, would easily have been spared, for credits were not so much expended, and there was a limited demand for money, compared with the present moment. Everything is pow so much expanded in financial and commercial affairs, that we require évery dollar of specie on hand, as basis for our operations, and # drain of specie would therefore have a very injurious effect upon the eommunity generally. It our importations are not, for the future, regulated more by our ability to pay in products of the soil and domestic industry, we shall find the epesie steadily leaving the vaults of our banks, ' and the supply throughout the country becoming rapidly reduced, even in the face of large receipts from California, At the date of our last advices from Eng- | land, the prospect of any important demand of our | breadstuffs was by no means favorable. The weather had been propitious, and the growing erops looked healthy and vigorous. Unless a change should take Place, the domestic supply will be a full average, and an outlet for our receipts cut off. The advance recently realized in Erie second mort- gege bonds, is no more than we predicted some time since. It has been s matter of considerable astonish- | ment to us, that this class of seourity has been so long neglected. While stocks bearing six per cent interest have been selling at fifteen to twemty per cent pre- mium, the first and second seven per eent mortgage | bonds of the Erie Railroad company have ranged frcm three to six per cent premium for the former, and from three to five per cent discount for the latter. Within the past two weeks the second mortgage bonds have advanced about three per cent; but they still rule about four per cent below those secured by the first mortgage. At present prices they are the best paying securities in the market; and, all things con- sidered, there isa margin for a further improve: it in each, of at least five per cent. When capitalists find it so difieult to realise more than five per cent perannum for their money, it is extraordimary that the whole of these Erie Railroad bonds are not entire- ly withdrawn from the market for permanent invest- | ment. The time ie not far distant when they will be | sought after, at prices far above those now current, | and be considered then ene of the most profitable in- | vestments of the day. The Albany and Schenectady Railroad has been do- ing ® profitable business this season, and the receipts thus far this month show's very large increase over July of last year. The return of the first week show an in- crease of 079 first class passengers over that of the cor- aesponding week last year; 1.964 over that of the seeond; 2,176 over the third; showing an aggregate of 5,118 over that of the three first weeks in July, last year. The re- strate held | turns of the second class passengers for the three ‘weeks show an increase of some 200 over last year. ‘We shall, in a few days, be able to give ® full state- ment of the business of this road for the months of June and July, which will better enable the public to at a true estimate of the increase of traffic. Counterfeits, of the denomination of $1 and $5, on ‘the Farmers and Merchants’ Bank of Baltimore, have recently been put in circulation. The appearance of the $1 plate is altogether dissimilar to that of the | genuine. On the right of the counterfeit is a medal- lion vignette of Vulcan and two female figures, one of the latter holding « shesf of wheat. No attempt has been made to imitate either the mame of tho President or Cashier The $5s are quite as unlike the genuine and both may be readily detected by any one having the least familiarity with the issues of this bank. ‘The amount of capital stook subseribed to the Mil- | kie and Mississippi Ratiroad, according to the statement made by the company on the Ist inst., is $901,000, and the amount paid in $453,472 75. The residue of bonde—$150,000—subseribed by the eity of Milwaukie, it was expected would be ready for delivery next day, (Tuesday,) which added to the above, would | make the total receipts $003,472 75. The expenses, so far, have been $68,52640—upwards of $31,000 ef which was for grading, bridging, &c., and the residue for right of way, engineering, incidental expenses. &o. ‘The Collector of the Port of Astoria, Oregon, states that from April Ist, 1649, to April Ist, 1850, sixty-three versels entered that port, vis.: six ships, thirty barks, twenty-eight brigs, and five schooners. Two schooners, the Pioneer, built at Clatsop, and the Gene- ral Lene, built et Linn city, cleared from Astoria originally, end were sold st San Francisco. During the above mamed period the total tonnage amounted to 16,129; of which 1,639 was in foreign vessels, 669 im American vessels from foreign ports, and 14,437 in American vessels constwite. The gross amount of duties collected during the same period, exclusive of those aceruing on goods bonded, and including amount paid under protest, was $26,408 23. ‘The following is the amount of tolls received at the eanal office in Chieago, from the opening ef the eanal to the 1st of July, im each of the past three years :— aan Caran, 849. 850, 1 976 60 92.368 83 10,790 43 609 12,787 06 10,871 61 10,471 80 $71,400 56 $36.084 61 It will be seem that the yearly increase is very large. ‘The total amount of tolls received in June at all the | Offices, was $14.516 46. a ADVERTISEMENTS RENEWED BVBRY DAY.

Wedo not hope fora change of a single vote in consequence of this speech; and that the bill is dead seems to have been conceded in the tone and temper of this despairing appeal of Mr. Clay. A day or two, however, will tell the tale, and the result may astonish us all. Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, declines his place in the cabinet, like asensible man. With five years yet to serve in the Senate, it would be something of « sacri- fice to exchange them for » year or two in the Depart- ment of the Interior. It won't pay in these depart- ments, short of a whole term Mr. Collamer, late Postmaster General, « very prudent man, has hardly money enough left to take him home ‘Mr. Pearee, therefore, is @ wise mi if he holds to his resolution: of sticking to t!

Wasninaron, July 22, 1850. Mr. Clay's Review of the Omnibus Bill. Ap the clock in the ante-chamber struck twelve, the President pro tem announced the order of the day. The galleries and their approaches, and the approach- es to the floor below, were, as usual om great ooeasions, filled up with the crowd. It was understood that Mr. Clay was to talk on the general subject; and though he were to talk every day of the week, it would proba- bly take some months to diminish the rush to hear him, Mr. Clay was on hand, end promptly came forward. His object was a general review of the byl. of the objections made to it in the course of the debate; the long, exhausting. and yet inexhsustible debate on this: everlasting subject THERE 18 DANGER TO THE UNION, Mr, Clay contended that there is danger. Senators had sald that all danger was cmong the politicians; that otherwise the country was ina state of perfect tranquillity. Notso. All the tendenoies of the times are to disquictude, agitation, sectional elienation, if pot to more fatal consequences. The getting ap of the Nashville convention; the establishment of a Southern A ress in Washington. the circulation of disu- sien pampbiots, were all calculated to convinee that there ie danger to the Union, if the settlement of this question be delayed. THIRTEEN DOCTO! The Senator from New Jersey (Mr. Dayton) had ealled the committee the thirteen doctors, and in such terme as insinuated that they were thirteen quack doctors; and that their treatment of the patient was pet calculated to beal, but to sugment bis disorders. Soch were some of the objections against the Com- mittee of Thirteen and their report.
