New York, Tucsday, November 16, 1852, Obsequies of Daniel Webiter. ‘This day, the sixteenth of November, will be ren- @ored memorable in New York from the public fune- ral pageant in honor of the memory of Daniel Webster. The programme of the procession will be found at ength elsewhere in the columns of this paper. We also give, in the digest of our foreign news from the English jcurnals, the regal programme of the fane- ral procession of the Duke of Wellington, appointed to eome offon the 18thinst , or Thursday next. The pub- lic career and character of these two distinguised mon do not stand in more striking contrast to each other than the comparatively plain and harmeniously re- publican honors te the great American statesman, im juxtapceition with the royal and monarchical Conrad, requires of = newspaper editor all the light in his possession. We leave the affair, however, for the present, to the tender mercies of Mess. Law and Roberts. The Young Democracy held a festival lest evon- ing at Tammany Hall, in honor of the tciamph achieved by their party at the rocent clection. The dinner was good, the champague was better, bat the speeches were the best of all the entertaio nent. We refer our readers to the graphic report of the proceedings, elsewhere given. We muy advert to the affair hereafter. Some twenty laboring men, who were crossing the river in arow-boat, near St. John, N. B., on tho lth inst , were run over by a ste.m ferry-boat, and over balf of the number were drowned. Quite a destructive fire occurred at Dankirk, last Sanday worning Among the buildings buraed was O’Reilly’s telegraph office. An iron foundry, at Troy, was damaged to the extent of twenty thou- sand dollars by fire, on Saturday night. Aceording to the latest returns from Mississppi, it is probable that a majority of the people have voted in epposition to paying the Planters’ Bank bonds. The telegraphs furnish the melancholy iatelli- gence that the steamer Powhatan is supposed to hare foundered during the recent storm on Lake Erie, and that all on board perished. Her books and papers have been washed ashore, but no other vestige of the vessel has been seen. Several sailing vessels are reported to be asho ¢, and greatly dam- aged, at different placoe, and it is feared that many others which encountered the gale will never again be beard from. An adjourned session of the Ohio Legislatare assembled yesterday, but no business of importance was transacted. Winter is upon us, and no mistake. The snow was one foot deep at Rochester yesterday, and a, Syracuse and Utica it snowed vearly all day. The reports from all parts of the country represent the weather as being very cold and disagreeable. Even from New Orleans we have the announcement of frost, consequently no more danger need be appre- hended from yellow fever. A German girl in Philadelphia, yesterday, shot a young man for having seduced and borrowed one hundred dollars from her, he refusing to make re- peration in both instances; fortunately for himself he was not killed. Publicity is given in a New Orleans paper to the statement of the officers of the ship Kennebec, who | declare that, when near the Grand Banks, in May pageantry in memory of the great British soldier. A thourand years hence, when ‘‘swords shall be beaten | into ploughshares, and spears into pruning hooks, and the nations shall not learn war any more”— when the bloody battles of the last five thousand years shall be regarded as bloody humbugs—the name and the memory of such menas Webster, and Olay, and Peel, will overshadow, in the world’s matured judgment, all the military chieftains of their time. Now tho fame of Wellington may be | the more brilliant and dazzling, but for time the re- putation of Webster will be more solid and durable. We doubt not the pageant to-day to his memory will be worthy this metropolis, whero, like Henry Clay, his public services have rendered his name as eberished and familiar as a household word The News. The Collins steamer Atlantic reached this port yesterday morning, with four days later advices from all parts of Europe, full details of which are in- serted elsewhere. Poblic attention in England ap- pears to have been engrossed with the preparations for the funeral of Wellington, which is te take place next Thursday, and the opening of Parliament. The British journals, however, continue to harp uponthe Gifficulties between the United Siates and Cuba, as will be seen by the extractsto day published. These articles speak for themselves. They, with others hitherto given, plainly indicate that, notwith- standing all their anxiety to form an alliance for offensive and defensive purposes, they are in reality blinded by jealousy at the progress of republican principles in the New World, and dread the period when the nations of this great continent shall have Become united in one grand and powerful eonfede- | ration. No matter, “there is 2 good time coming,” derpite all the European monarchists, diplomatists, and others. In France, of course, but little else is thought of than the coronation of Louis Napoleon as Emperor. The promulgation of the empire, itis still supposed, will be made on the 2d of next month, the anniver- sary of Austerlitz, the empire of the uncle, and the coup d'état. The people of France arc in a great state of anxiety to ascertain who will be selected for the civil household of the new Emperor—more so, if possible, than are even the politicians of this country with regard to General Pierce’s cabinet. All these gs, and much more, will be known in due time. It is reported that a military conspiracy against Louis Napoleon has been discovered by the Paris police, who have arrested twelve commissioned officers, and some sixty non commissioned officers and privates. The affair, which is laid at the door of the legitimists and Orleanists, seems to have elicited very little attention. Abd-el-Kader has visited the President at St. Cloud, by whom he was treated with the most courteous hospitality, and to whom he again declared his determination of re- fraining from all attempts to disturb the French in their poseesions in Africa. There is no news of special interest from the continent, if we except the announcement that our little flare-up with Cuba had produced considerable sensation in Vienna, and that hopes were expressed in the government journals that the maritime powers would combine for the purpose of effectually checking the advancing strides of the American people on their own continent. As evidence that there is some understanding between France and Spain on this very subject, we observe that the ves- tele belonging to the former country, when in the porte of the latter, are to be charged the same rates of duties as are paid by the Spanish. Now it may barely be poesible that France will permi herself to be unwisely influenced in this matter, ‘but it is hardly probable that Louis Napoleon wil permit himself to be led so far from home. The news from the East is portentous. The do minions ot the Bultan are becoming more and more hemmed in. We learn that the Turkish govern ment, assis'ed by the contributions of the people, are in a fair way of retrieving, for ® time, the financial embarrasements produced by the rejected joan, and that remittances have been forwarded to liquidate the claims of creditors. Tarkey, however, isin a bad way. Russia is daily encroaching upon her righte, by her friendly acts and assistance, The Shab of Persia has caused the execution of four Lundred persons belonging to the sect of Babis, who were accused of being accomplices in the recent attempt against his life. Well, well; sects are per- scouted, kings assassinated, nations robbed of their territory, but all will come out right. The strides of civilization and republicanism are enormeus. The commercial reports brought by the Atlantic had the effect of advancing flour twelve to eighteen cents per barrel, and the market closed active and firm at @5 12 for State brands. Wheat went up from five to seven cents, and corn from three to four cents per bushel. Rye was also two cents higher, and spirits of turpentine sold tregly at an advance. Cotton, on the contrary, receded from | one-eighth to one-fourth cent per pound. The derpatches from New Orleans state that the forsiga uews did not affect the cotton market there The returns of the Congressional clection in lili. role ip whigr, with five districts to hear from. The Washington Republic of yesterday endeavors cate the success of two democrats and four | last, they discovered two vesse]a frozen together in an iceberg.» The question naturally arises as te | whether these vessels may not have belonged to the ill-fated Franklin expedition ! John Doyle was yesterday placed on trial, in the | Court of Oyer and Terminer, for causing the death to explain the peculiar conduct of the administra- | (ion in the affwir of the Crescent CXty.

It will be recollected that the prigoner cut the throats of both the deceas- ed and himself, and that upon being taken to the hospital his victim died and he recovered. A full report of the testimony adduced by the prosecution is given on another page. A new institution, called the Corn Exchange Bank, to be located near Hanover square, is about The capital is stated at $500,000, with the privilege of increasing it to two million. We learned yesterday that $250,000 were already subscribed. The proceedings in the Common Council last evening were marked with unusual intereet. In the Board of Aldermen there was a lengthy and very exciting debate upon the question of the pro- posed railroad in Broadway. See the report. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday, but no business of importance was transacted. The board adjourned until next Monday afternoon. The report of the City Inspector for the week ending last Saturday is satisfactory, as showing a decrease of twenty-six deaths from the amount recorded in the preceeding seven days. The total number of deaths is three hundred and two, of which forty-three resulted from consumption, thirty- ene from various fevers, and thirty-eight from in- flammatory affections. Considering the sudden change of weather we have experienced, and the feascn of the year, the health of the city is ex- cellent. Owing to the excessive influx of advertisements and news we are under the necessity of deferring | many columns of local and other reading, among which are full reports of the leeture on Womanhood, | delivered by Mrs. E. Oakes Smith, at Hope Chapel, lact evening; the proceedings of the Young Men’s Christian Association, &c. Very InTERESTING.—The whig papers are amus- ing themselves with all sorts ofcabinots and cabinet squabbles as among the first and toughest troubles efGen. Pieree. The employment is very interest- ing, and may be useful. It is regarded as a fact,” however, that there will be a new eabinet, and anew set ef officeholders from stem te stern. The whigs feel it in their bones, and they are fairly ‘itled to guess who are to take their places. It | is natural that they should desire to know, and we | all have the privilege of guessing. But the horrible shindies that are tocome off at Washington between the hunkers and barnburners, and Union men and State Rights men, as a matter ofcontemplation, are certainly very interesting—very. Gen. Pierce, notwithstanding, will be very apt to appoint a new cabinet, even ifit should blow him sky high. And that too will be very interesting—very. He Dipn’r Exget Himseur.—Some of the whig journals of the ‘rural districts” are complaining that W. H. Seward didn’t exert himeelf for General Beett im the late election. The fact is 80; the arch agitator did not exert himself; he endeavored to hide eut of sight. But he discovered the ruinous éffeets ot his friendship too lat Whut weuld have been the consequences, had hi ‘erted himself and taken the stump for General Scott, may well be imagined. Vermont would have been left singing “I’m alone—all alone.” What a pity it is that Seward didn’t exert him- self. Jvpcx Patxe’s Decision —The Soward organs are, of course, delighted with the decision of Judge Paine, by which a Virginia family were deprived of their slave property, in attempting to pass through our city on their way to Texas. But as this case is equivalent to an embargo in, perhaps all the Nerthorn States, against the introduction o slaves by their owners on visits or journeys of busi- ness or pleasure, it would be well enough for the people of the South to bear it im mind, until, at least, the Supreme Court shall have directly decided whether the federal eonstitution or the law ofa Sthto is the supreme law of the land. It is now in order to demand that decision, and it ought to be demanded, ae Cuniovs.—Among the passengers sailed yester. day in the Nebraska, for Australia, are the names of “ Edwin Forrest” and ‘ W. Z. Barton.” This is very strange. The audience at the bijow in Chambers street were as much delighted last night with Micawber as if Burton was really there, and had not gone to the gold region. What occurred at the Walnut street theatro, in Philadelphia, we are not aware; there must haye been a great dis appointment, for Forrest was advertised to play Spartacus. Mennens or Concress—Gzorce Cuinton, Jr ~ In our notice yesterday of members of Congress who | have represented this city, we stated, on what we deemed good authority, that George Clinton, Jr, elected in 1804, was a son of Governor George Clin- tom. It appears from the following communication that he was the nephew of that Governor:— In the Henao of the 15th, George Clinton, Jr., who repterented this city in the House of Representatives from Fobrusry, 1866, te Mareh, 1809, is stated to have 1 Governor George Clinton.

We are in receipt of private intelligence, derived from the most authentic sources, to the effect that our government at Washington has completed ar- rangements for despatchiog a scientific and explor- ing expedition to Central Africa, with a view of finding = healthy posiion some distance inland fitted for the purpose of coloniza:ion. The com- entrusted to Commander Lynch of the navy, whose Dead Sea explorations bave rendered his name cele- brated, and point him out as eminently ti:ted to undertake this mission, and carry it out to a sac cessful issue. If the results of Commander Lyach’s investigations be favorable to the objects had in view by our government, his report will be sub mitted to Congress ; but, on the contrary event, nothing will bo officially said about the matter, and the project will be abandoned. The Secretary of the Navy will not at present permit the letter of instructions to Commander Lynch to be made public, nor was it desired by him that any notice of the expedition should get abroad; but we have been enabled to got at its leading features, and knowing no reason why the people of the United | States should be kept ignorant of a matter promis. ing to be of o much magnitude and importance in our present and future history, we will endeavor to cast as much light upon the matter as our informa- tion enables us to do. Tho U. 8. ship Constitution, under the command of Capt. Mays, has been detailed for the servico, and is te land Commander Lynch and his party on apy part of the African const he may select. Com- mander Lynch himself sailed for England, a few days since, in the steamer Arctic, and has probably made arrangements as to the time and place of his | joining the Constitution. Besides his instructions “fixed | as to secking for a district suitable in all respects for colonization, a search for the sources of the Ni- ger will form part of his duties in Africa; ani other views important to the commercial interests of this eountry, and from which groat results may be destined to flow, will not fail to attract his very particular attention. In copjunction with the vast movements now ta- king place in Australia, this expedition to Africa must be regarded asa great and important feature of the present age. The interior of that vast eon- tinent, containing a surface of more than twolve million square miles, is entirely unknown, ex- cept through the very partial and meagre acgounts given of some portions of it by the missionaries, and oosasionally by some slave dealer or traveller. Its inhabitants are suppored to number some hun- dred and twenty millions, who, with the exception of the semi- civilized Arabs scattored over the north- wertern part of it, exist in the most debased condi- tion of savage life, and who have supplied the slave markets of South America and the West India islands for the last two and a half centuries, far nishing, within that space of time, it is computed, forty millions of adult male slaves. The Sahara, or Great Desert, has hitherto offered an insurmountable obstacle to the colonization or even exploration of Central Africa, although en- terprising travellers have occasionally penetrated it. ecpt by the nomadic tribes who infest its bordera and live by plunder. Of late years, however, great efforts have beem made simultaneously by the Eng- lish and French governments to colonize the soun- opean aborigines and the more fierce and enlightened boundariet On the side of tho North, the French subjugation of Algeria, and the encourag® ment given by their government to the emigration of the agricultural and mechanical classes of the French population, is destined to form a very powerful machine in the work of uncovering this terra incognita to the eyes of civilized nations, and drawing its inhabitants into commercial relation- ship with them. Then, on the South, a like opening has been made by Great Britain, in colonizing the Cape of Good Hope, where she claims a district of some quarter million of square miles, and in bring ing the Caffres of that region into a degree of en- lightenment somewhat more elevated than that which prevails in the interior. But with the ex- ception of those two colonies, and some trading establishments along the Guinea Coast, belonging to several of the European governments, and the little colony of Liberia, formed for the negro emi- grants from these States, the whole of the vast continent of Africa is an unknown, unexplored region, and little information exists with re- ference to its climate, soil, natural products, or population, beyond what is gleancd from the des- criptions occasionally given by some enterprising voyager, who-geperally forfeits his life te his temerity, either by the savi violence of the natives, or the malarious influence of the climate. One of the latest expeditions to Central Africa was that sent out by the British government in 1850, under Mr. James Richardson, the celebrated traveller, who had previously distinguished him self by his travels through the Great Desert, in 1845 and 1846. He was directed to proceed first to Tri- poli, and thence across the Sahara to the Bilad el Sudan, or Negro land, as far as lage Chad, in the fifteenth degree of north latitude, for the purpose of concluding commercial relations with the chiefs of the countries. Mr. Richardson was accompanied by two German doctors--Barth and Overweg--commis- sioned by the Prussian government to make scienti- fic obeervations. Their communications to the Ge- ographical Society of London have been extreme- ly interesting. They started from Tripoli in March, 1850, with » small caravan of forty eamels, and, with great fatigue, suffering and danger, traversed the interior as far as the capital of the Air or Asben country, in the seventeenth degree of north latitude, which they reached about October. They remain- ed here fora couple of months, and resumed their travels in December. They then took different routes to lake Chad or Tsid, Overweg making a geological excursion, Barth proceeding south to explore the country of an unknown tribe, and Rich- ardson making for Kika, the capital of the Empe- ror of Bornou, which is situated en the borders of the lake. This great traveller, however, was at- tacked with illness on his way, and died on the fourth of March, 1851, victim to the malaria of that country which he had such « passion for ex- ploring. Dr. Barth succeeded in reaching lake Tsad, and in launching upon it his boat, which had been built in Malta, and carried the whole distance on camels, tensive sheet of water, or inland ses, covered with numerous islands, abounding in hippopotami and elephants, and inhabited by fierce and barbar- ous natives, who pursue the trade of pir The doctor concluded a treaty of commerce on the part of England with the Sheikh of Bornou, who exprossed his great anxiety to possess » squadron of European boats on the lake, and rromised to give his beat sup- port to the mission. This treaty is considered in England as the first step towards the substitution of a commercial intercourse and exchange of the rich products of that part of Africa for the slave trade. The ultimate object of the travellers was to endeavor to cross the centre of Africa, in a south- east direction, to the Coast of Mombas, or to Mo- zambique, ¢o that the entire journey will exceed the distance from Tripoli to the Cape cf Good Hope, or in other words, be greater than tho whole length of the African continent from north to south. A route tome two or three hundred miles western to that pureued by this expedition, was previously travorsed from Tripoli to Murzak, by Messrs Ritchie and Lyon, from 1818 to 1820, and frem Murzak to lake Tead, by Messrs. Oudney, Denham and Clapperton, from 1822 to 1824, but the country of Air, it is thought, was never before visited by Eurepeans. There is ne limiting the results which a thorough exploration of the interior of. Africa may have on our future trade and commerce, as well as in scien- tificreepects. There is a vast field open there for the geologist, the naturalist, the historian, the mino- yologiet, and -he werehant.

Africa, states, in one of his latest cemmunioations, that there is a species of fly, called by the natives “teelse,” pecalier to that region, whose bite is fatal to oxen, horses, and doge, though perfectly harmless to men ard goats; and he considers that it, with tho malaria and niarsh fever, is destined to preserve intertropicel Africa for the black race of mankind. In the Western highlands, which fill up the space between the Atlantic ocean and the middle cours® of the Niger, @ race of red men has been discovered by a recent traveller, named Tuggar, a tranelation of whore travels hab been recently publisned iv Paris In this the following passage occura:— Beyond the circle of Sakat begins, #0 to epeak. a new world; the people havea red color, of whom @ part are herdswen, possessing innumerable herds ot camels and flocks of rheep. the remainder are husbandmen. One travels rome two months upon the territory, and then comes to @ great alt lake called Sebkat Schanaktha. This jake loves iteelf in the sands of @ boundless degert, in which one finds no trace of vegetation. Across this desert, the pasrage of which occupies five weeks, dwell nations of a red color, living in tents made of Buffalo thins. and subsisting on dates ond camel’s milk Then comes a cecond waste. which can be crossed in fifteen days; sfter which ocour the first oases, which belong to the mountaing of the Moon, and are inhabited by red men. The French are also continually making short expeditions into the interior. The commandant at Bakel, cituated one hundred and eighty leagues up the Senegal river, states, ina recent despatch, that he had visited the cataract of Felon, thirty leagues” dis'ant, and explored the river during twenty days journey; that the river is navigable above the falls, and the natives friendly. Among the productions of this part of the country is the gutta percha tree. From the little hitherto known of this continent it was supposed that it possessed hardly any rivers suitable for navigation; but, when it is more goner- ally explored, this great obstacle to its civilization may be found much le:senod. The internal struc- ture of the country hes very peculiar features, most prominent among which are its immense sandy deserts, inespable of yielding sustenance for human life, and therefore uninhabited by any settled population. ‘But elsewhere the interior is very thickly populated. The staple trade carried on by the inhabitants is in slaves, ivory, gold, aud gum, which they exchange for firearms, powder, brandy, cloth, &c. It is, therefore, proper that while Great Bri- tain and France are spreading the conquests of arms and civilization through the northern aud southern pointe of Africa, the government of this republic should also make manifest its desire to assist in the same grand scheme, and open up, if porsible, a new and boundless field to the specula- | tive spirit of its citizens in the centre of that vast country. There are atill two great continents to bo colorized and brought into close relations with the rest of the world. The vast gold fields of Australia aro attracting thither an emigration which, if it continue at the same rate for some | years longer, may calculate its aggregate at mil- | heatheniem and ignorance, is also to feel the in- | we to day make public, besides the more popular lions. And now Africa, sunk in the bondage of fluence of the impetuous spirit of the age. We ardent- ly wish for a sucvessful termination of this expedi- tion, and feel confident that, as far as human ability can be made available in producing such a result, Commander Lynch will not be found wanting. With our long: deferred Japan expedition, now about to be vigorously prosecuted, and with that which movements ripening for the annexation of Cuba and Mexico, we may congratulate this country that it iy in such @ Way spreading out its roots, making it present greatness felt throughout the world, and en- suring for its future a heighth of grandeur to which no empire has ever yet soared. So be it. Tus Brittsu Brrnery Case—Ratoer Mysrert- ovs—An English journal, called the London Weekly Paper, has the following paragraph in re- ference to the firm of Williams & Lockhart, of Lo don, from whom the late bribe of a £50 note, (part of an offer of £250,) was received by the editor of this paper, to aid in the defeat of General Hiram Walbridge, as a candidate for Congress, in this city. The paragraph is as follows :— The editor of the London Weekly Paper, having made particular inquiries at No. 17 bigon, aod London, has ascertained that no such firm as ‘khart & Williams, and no anti-slavery society, are known there. If the £50 Bank of England note which the New York editor has re- ceived is as fictitious as the address he has given, he will not take his change out of that in a hurry. This is strange. No such firm at No. 17 Change alley? Perhaps they occupy the attic, or the baae- ment, or “two pair back.” Perhaps they have moved. Did the London editor inquire? Perhaps there is no sueh firm. Perhaps it was George Thompson himself that sent the money, or—no matter now. The fifty pound note was a good Bank of England bill, and was readily changed into our | own currency, in Wallstreet. It has been disponsed jn charity, and General Walbridgo has beon elected to Congress by a triumphant majority. And we presume that we shall hear no more of Lockhart & Williams, though another instalment of fifty ora hundred pounds, for the benefit of the destitute, would be useful just now.- Will the editor of the Lindon Weekly Paper persevere, find them out, and report pregress? Please do. | Marine Affairs. For Avstrauia—The fin? ship Nebraska, Captain Bearse, left port on Saturday, with 191 passengers, for Port Philip. She belongs te Bailey & Hincken’s line, and is to be shortly followed by another first class ship, which will be ready to receive passengers im a few days, A list of the Nebraska’s passengers will be found in another column. Excerient Passace.—The ship Tornad>, Captain Mum- ford, arrived here yesterday, sfter a stormy but most excellent passage, She left San Francisco on the 7th of August, and when thirty-three days out, in a whirlwind, lost hay foremast close to the deck, and her bowsprit close tothe knighthead. From the 11th to the 18th September the was hove to, refitting, and from the latter date to the 26th the sea was so high that her yards could not be seny up, the only rail forward being « forecail. In spite, how. ever, of these drawbacks, she made the passage from city tocity in one hundred days, which, under the circum. stances, is probably the best passage ever made.
