Also, a bill authorizing Webster's Dictionary, quarto, to be purchased by the Secretary of State, to be placed in every school district in the State. Mr. Brxxatsx opposed the bill. contending that as the representative, in his capacity aa Chairman of the Committee on Literature, of over « million of the children ofthe State, he must protest against the introduction, by authority. of Webster's Dictionary as a standard for their use. Jn support of his views. he cited latcers from Edward 8. Gold, of New York. Mr, Bancroft, the his- torian, and a letter frem Washington Irving, inwhioh the Intter complains that the publishers made unjust use of his opinion communicated thereon by letter. Mr. Lyox replied to Mr. Beckman, and cited Prescott ax the head of historians. Chancelior Kent, as first of jurists, apd Thomas Hart Benton, aé first of statesmen, as Lelng strongly in favor of Webster. It was the Alor of our country that we hadbno provincialiams, We had, from north to south, one language Mr. Brexmax rejoined. He should regard the passage of this bill ax a weed poisoning the sources of our lite- rature. Mr. Bascock alluded to the fact that Mr. Prescott could not necessarily be an authority as to the «pelliag in this work, as Mr. P. was blind. Webster's Dictionary of 1628 was not a good guide in orthography. All must concede tbat. Mr. Lyow asked what dictionary was there that had | not changed? English. French, and German orthography changes as do other things. We grow wiser as we grow older. and Noah Webster was not exempt from this culiarity. Why does not the Senator from the thirty- ret (Mr. k) find fault with Chaucer, that well of Old England, undefiled, because he spells wife “ wyve ?”” Massachusetts, where such men as Horace Mann and George Briggs reside, hes authorized the purchase of this Mr. Cannort. sald John C. Spencer had given his un- | qualified approbation to this dictionary; and as Mr. Spencer was the author of the Canal bill, and a capital constitutional argumentator in favor of it, be was good authority for the majority. Mr. Diaucx had hoped that no disturbing element would be brought into the eommon school districts, Mr. Murer suggested that Washington Irving was growing old. and the weight of his authority is lessened.

On the 12th of April last, a few days previous to the ap- journment of the regular session of the Legislature, a reso” lution was adopted in the Senate, authorizing the appoint- | ment of an eccountant to make a thorough examination of the financial conceras of Union College, A mannamed Vanderheyden was selected, and he procreded to the task. How fur he has progressed is not known; bat it seems that the trustees of the College are not satisfied with him. This morning they sent a memorial to the Senate, complaining of the appointment of this examiner. They state that the affairs of the institution were seru- tinized in 1831, by Silas Wright and Wm. James; in 1834, by Silas Wright, Wm. L. Marcy, ama Johm P. Cush- ing ; and at alater period, whem Mr. Holand was ap- pointed treasurer, some twelve years since, Silas Wright and Jobn A. Dix made another examination of i s bool . papers. accounts and funds, since which time'no inves- tigation bas been had and the Legislature are ignorant of its condition, except such exparte reports xa the tras: tees themeetves have ished. Instead of the ascount- ant, they desire that the Comptroller, Attorney General, and the Rev. Dr. Campbell, the committee selected by the Senate toappoint the accountant, shall make w per- sonal examination upon the following subjects:— First—Whether the funds granted by the State to Union College have been fully applied to the objects spe- cified in the respective grants. Second—Whether the permanent funds so granted re~ main entire, and are safely invested, Third—Whether any funds belonging to the College have been applied to any personal purpose, by the Presi- dent or any other officer. Fourth—Whether any. and what. losses have occurred in the besser vane of the funds of the College, and the | cure of such losses. if any, i Fifth—Whether the President or any other officer has, while in the employment of the College, participated in: | dividually in the profits of any lotteries which were ap- pointed by the acts granting such lotteries. The trustees weth Know that neither of these gentle- men can enter upon the business, two of them being State officers, and the third a clergyman in active ser- Tice. ving in charge one of the largest congregations in this city. ‘The persons who signed this memorial were Eliphalet Nott, Reuben H. Walworth, Christopher Morgan, Alvah Hunt, Edward C. Delavan, Bradford R. Wood, David H. Little, axd Alonzo C. Paige. The memorial was referred to the Committee on Literature, where it will remain. ‘The most of the day wus xpent in the Senate, upon a billto furnish each ‘echool district im the State with a copy of: Webster's large dietionary It was contended on the one hand, that the echool teachers in the rural dis- tricts required the book, in order to instruct them in the use of the English language and the etymology of words. On the opposite side it was contended that it was bookeeller's speculation, who owned the copyright, who wished the State to purchase fifteen thousand copi ss for the primary schools, which would, in effect, give the work the character of a standard dictionary for the State, ‘The bill will probably pass the Senate. Quite an exciting debate occurred while the appropri- ation bill was under consideration. upon the proposition to contribute $10,000, for the support of ‘the "Normal School, $1,000 of which should be contributed towards the education of Indian youth. Some twelve of them are pow in the school. ‘nator Babcock objected to so large an amount, eontending that the Normal School had never given any evidence that it answered Se which the State bad in view when it was - d.

A bill for that purpose was under consideration this morning. It proposes to refund the money. The opponents allow that the money does not be- long to the treasury, because the United Btatee courts have decided that the law under which it was col- lected is unconstitutional; but they allege that, instead of peying it back to those who contributed it, the money should be given to those emigrants for whose passage | and arrival in the city of New York. it was pola, tate | mating that the passengers were charged per head, in advance of their passage, the amount which the State exacted. The bill was laid aside. In the House, this morning. the Pilot bill was lost. Also, ® bill appropriating a sum of money to send free negroes to Liberia.

I shall, therefore, be as brief a | possible in what 1 have to say. Mrs. Coddington, fom | mnerly Miss Inman, when she waa a young girl about 16: | r# of age, h ied on a correspondence with Na- jel P. Witt ithout the knowledge of ber Upon thir cireumstance becouring known to her father, he was desirous that euch correspondence should be de- livered up to bim; and accordingly, with this view, he desired that Mr Geo, Buckham, an intimate friend of his, and Col, Webb (the defendant}. anoth or intimate friend, | should obtaim such letters for him. Accordingly. Mr. | Buckham wrote a note to Nathaniel P. Willis, appoint- ing a time to meet him at his office, withont informin; him, as Mr, Ruckham avers upon oath, for what pur} such meeting was desired. Mr, Willis attended at the appointed time, and was then, for the first, made aware that it was desired that such lettors showkb be given up, Mr. Willis at once consented to attend at a future time, for the purpose of delivering those letters into the hards of Mr Inman's friends. At the time ap- | pointed, Mr. Willis did attend; and. after some conversa- | tion. he asked to whom he should give the letters? © ol. Webb apewered, give them tome" Mr, Willis thereupon | sealed up the letters and handed them to Gol. Webb, for | the purpore ef being delivered up to Mr. Inman. This | Atate of facts le affected om, the part of the defendant, only Fo fur as he states that Mr. Willie brought the let | ters ina sealed package directed to Colonel Webb; and that besides the desire of Mr. Inman, he had the au- thority of the daughter, Miss Inman, for the reception complaint, | | of the letters. Mrs, Coddington states in her that the letters were received for her father, in trast fu her, and that Mr. Inman was to receive the and chat rhe should have received them. and | titled to recelve them, from Colonel Webb. The com. plaint also states in this ease, chat during the time that olonel Webb had possession of the letters, he has several times been importuned to deliver them to’ the plaintiff ; | but be haa never dene so, haring upon each request thal war made, euccessively promised to do so at some future fe Paintilf rtates that after the death of Mr ich occurred in 1847. an application was made by Mr. Buckham for them; but he was met with the | same reception, being promired that they should be handed to him at come future time. The complaint of Mrs, Coddit gton further shows, that during the present spring. a controversy having ‘arisen between the de- | fendant ard Nathaniel P. Willis, an article appeared | | ina paper of whieh the defendant is the editor, alluding to the daughter of a very dear friend of his, as having been ' N. P.

The summons aad | complaint were served on Webb on the fourth of June, and he war rerved with the injunction a short time after, duly authenticated by the Court. About the rame ‘time, an order was granted by one of the Judges of this Court, directing the defendant before this Court, why an t be granted appointing a reciever for the posession of the lottor: in the hands of bis order was served upon Colonel Webb, he did not made that Andrew Warner.

A motion was made by the plaintiffs that an attachment be issued against Col.
