The Webster Obsequies, The funereal ceremonies which took place in this metropolis yesterday, in respect to the memory of the illustrious etatesman and patriot of Marshfield, | passed off with remarkable harmony and decorum. A bright autumnal sky, and a brisk November | breeze, gave full effect to the city’s mournful em- bellishments, and to the solemn paraphernalia of the procession. The appearance of the militar: in the brilliant sunshine, was especially and ingly imposing. Our columns this morning em- brace a cireumstantial description of the entire de- monstration. It waseminently due to Danicl Web- ster, as the cotemporary and co-laborer, for nearly half a century, in the national councils with the gal- Jant Hevry Clay. The Champion of the Union and the Defender of the Constitution thus go dow to our porterity hand in hand. It was due to New York, whose prosperity and greatness are al) due to the Union and the Constitution. Nor are we dis- posed to enter here into a merconary estimate of doll: nd cents, or the question of ephemeral Vanity, when the lesson inculeated upon the youth- fal mind is so well adapted to stimulate it to the emulation of men whose” public services are thus | honored and rewarded, even in their graves. Oar | eountry is safe while patriotism is thus venorated; and, for this glorious country of ours, we would encouragé in every way the kindling of the beauti- fal centiment of Horace:— Dulce et decorum est pro patsla The News, Notwithstanding the meagre display of tele- graphic matter this morning, our columns will be | found well stocked with varicd and entertaining intelligence from ell quarters. Tho lengthy details of the Mexisan news, to whieh we have alludedin | an article elsewhere, is particularly interesting at this time. Illineis is reported to have elected five democrats and four whigs to Congress, being 2 whig gain of | three members. Local disaffections among de- mocrats is said to have caused this falling off In the ninety-three counties heard from in Geor- | gia, General Pierce has a mdjority of over seven | thousand votes above all other candidates. We now learn from New Orleans that the cotton market yesterday was completely unsettled in wonsequence of the Atlantic’s news, and that no correct quotations can be given. Corn, likewis: Geelined to sixty cents, at which rate fifteen thou sand buthels were sold. A person named Augstburger was arrested in Philadelphia yesterday, on a charge ofhaving,some | months ago, drawn fifteen hundred francs from the Bank of Basel, in Switzerland, by means of a forged oheck. Cowperthw aite, who caured the death of watch- man Miller, in Philadelphia, some time ago, was | yesterday convicted of murder in the second degree. By telegraph we have a brief synopsis of the pro- seedings in the Presbyterian Synod of New Jersey, | which convened at Trenton yesterday. The princi- | pal feature of the session appears to be the com sideration of the appeal of Dr. Andrews, who was expelled from the church at South Amboy, for having, as is Alleged, acted in an unchristian manner towards the pastor. Last Saturday night, a perk house, containing meat and lard to the value of ten or twelve thou- rand dollars, was destroyed by fire at St. Louis. At Worcester, Massachusetts, yesterday morning, a woolen mill was burned, together with the stock and machinery. The loss, ton or fifteen thousand Gollars, is mostly covered by insurance. From Tampa Bay, Florida, we learn that the gtle of the 9th instant was searesly felt at that place. The shipping at other pointe along the Florida coast generally report having been damaged by the gale. Counsel in the case of James Doyle, on trial fey the murder of Mrs. Connery, concluded the summing up yesterday, and the matter will be submitted to the jury this morning In connection with much other very interesting reading, our pages to-day contain the following:— Lectures on Womanhood, by Mre. E. Oakes Smith; ‘and on Bhakspeare’s Henry the Fourth, by Rev. H N. Hudson; Proceedings of the Young Men's Chria- ‘tian Union; Spanish View of the lection of Prosi- dent; Produce of the Copper Mines and Visheries of Lake Superior; A Missionary’s Wanderings in the Far Northwest; Pelice and Court Reporte, Com- mercial Record, &c.

John P. | Hale, whose term ef service expires with the present Congreve. Among the candidates spoken of for the high office the most prominent is Mr. Charlos G Atherton, who is said to be confidential friend of the President elect, and every way worthy to repro- vent the State in the Senate of tho United Btates.

The same arrival breeght us the ‘ws that the English government in India intended, or were about to annex the entire Burmese empirer the people of which, by last accounts, they were rapidly civilizing at the cannon’s mouth. Phe snnexation of Cuba or Mexico would be an when paid for; while the annexation of Affghanistan end Beloochistan, to the west uorthwest of Hin- lions of inhabitants, in the past six or eight years, (by which the gate was shut down against Euro- pean invasion, having the Himalaya mountains on | the north and the sea to the seath,) is nothing, a mere flea bite, compared to our acquisitions. Having acquired control over 142,000,000 of people in India proper, and taken in Beloochistan and Afighbanistan, with another six millions ef people, the English government now propose to annex the Burmese empire, whieh lays to the east sorth cast of their Indian possessions, aud affords the only remaining serious barrier between them and the Chivese Empire. Indeed, with the acquisition of Bur mab, the English will be onthe high-road to Canton by land. With the fall of Burmah will come that of the feeble Empire of Assam, with its five millions of inhabitants, including in its boundaries Cechin China and Tonquin, after which Siam, with its three millions of people, would follow. Having secured a barrier against Russia west of the Indus, they are now opening a road into the coun- try of the Celest With the acquisition of Barmah the English will ob- tain anew territory of 200,000 square miles in%xtent, and their whole Indian empire will then comprise & population, of one hundred and sixty millions of fouls. It will extend from 60°. to 100° of east longitude, and within 12° of Canton, and from about 8° or 9° to about 35% north latitude. This vast empire was commenced in annexation, fol- lowed up by annexation, and will be continued by annexation. While we have annexed Toxas with a handfal of people, and paid for California and our owa war expenses, the English have made eaeh conquered party in India not only convey their own territory to them, but have always made them also pay the expenses of the war. While we have only gained Texas, New Mexico, and Californias comparatively uninhabited wilds, and propose to purchase Cuba and Mexico, with only about one million of people in one case, and six or eight mil- lions, of all shades, in the other, the English will have in the meantime annexed Afghanistan, of about 180,000 square miles of territory, and with five mil- lions of people. Also Beloochistan, with 200,000 square miles and half a million of people, and now ation since the battl@of San Jacinto, in April, 1836, in Texas, equal in itory to about 580,000 square wiles, inhabited by a population of 10,500,000. American annexation, indeed! Were we forth- with to annex all the West India islands, with all Mexico and Central America, we should then scaroe- ly catch up with the English. The early records of Burmah go back to three hundred and forty three years betore Christ. Bumaab, in the eighteenth century, was the most powerful dynasty in India east of the ‘Ganges. A king, in 1752, called Alompm, founded the present government, and his sweectsors subdued [several contiguous territorics. His epirtt of aunezation threstened Britiah territory, and he finally invaded Cochar, a territory in alliance with the English ; whereupon, Sir A. Campbell sailed with a strong army up the river Irrawadi, the principal stream ef the empire, and reached within fifty miles of Ava, the capital, efter several fights on the way. Herea treaty. was made, in February, 1826, wherein Assam, Aracan, Tavoy, Mergui and part of Mertaban were annexed to British India, and the Burmese made to pay Give {million rupees for the expenses of the war. Burmahfceased to have jurisdiction over Asram, Cochar and Cassay. In 1837 Prince Sara Wadi seized the government, murdered his brother, the king, and removed the seat of government te Monchobo. The empire has never recovered from dismemberment by the English in 1826. This | and five millions of bi making a total of annex- tults. It induced missionaries to settle in the | courtry, aud it has long been a favorite field for | Baptist missions from the United States. Assam, taken at that time from Burmah, situated in the hill country to the north and east of India, hae been has beon euccessfully establidaed in that couatry. There is no doubt but the country of Burmah and of Anam are equally well adapted to the raising of tea plants, and that the time may arrive, when the Feglish, with cheap Asiatic labor, may supply a large share of the tea consumed by civilized nations. The prezent Burmese empire lies east of the Gan- part of the province of Martaban, east by the Chi- nese provinces Yunenan and Laos, and Independent nexed provinces of Arracan, Chittagong, and C. say. It is 710 miles long, by 370 miles wide at its greatest breadth. It is subdivided into cight pro- vinces, diversified by rivers, plains, and mouatains. 1t contains two great plains, the largest of which is called Pegu, about the mouths or delta of tho Irra- wadi, and auother near the centre. The country lies between 15 and 27 degrees north Jatitude, and 192 and 199 degrees cast lon- gilude, of Greenwich. Two chains of mountains pass through tke country, north and south, in- closing an extensive country between them, water- ed by the Irrawaddi and ils tributaries. These mountains are off shoots from the Himalaya moun- tains. They reach an altitude of perpetual s2ow, or 12,474 feet, ia the north of the empire, or in 27 north latitude, and 97 degrees east longitude, and gradually decline in height until they reach a low rocky promontory southeast of the bay of Bengal. The river Irrawadi, (the Mississippi of Burmah,) rises in Thibet, and rune nearly due south, until it reaches the Indian’ ocean, between Moulmain and Marteban, receiving numerous branches in its course, among which are the Ningthee, Moo, Lungtehwen, the Than-lweng, and Si-tang. The lat- ter rises in 29 degrees 20 minutes north latitude, and runs south two hundred miles. The Ningthee bor- dors Atsam, runs, southwost, forming the boundary for some distance between Murchipoer territory and tho British posseesione, and joins the Irrawadi at Yandabo. Itie navigable for the largest class of boats to 23 degrees 40 minutes north latitude.

On the "rawa- di, above Prome, are petroleum wells, W’aich pro- | black we will call her blacker than the darkest wall duce 150 gallone daily. The country yie)ds 80,000,000 gelions annually. It is used for Uhts, caulking vessels, and preserving wood from. insects. ‘The climate, especially in the hill country, is con- sidered healthy. It. has 240 miles of seacoast. The whole ewpire is rich in vegetable productions. Botatists have found 16,000 species of new plants growing there. Among the most valuable is the teakwood. Bamboos were found twenty-four inches in cireumferenee, and a species of bean, with rich scarlet flowers, and twenty feethigh. Theanimals, wild and domestic, are similar to those in the ad- joining provinces of British India. The houses are built most commonly of bamboo, and thatched. Their boats are canoes, or ‘‘dug-outs,’’ made from large trunke of teakwood. Their means of defence consist in the use of rusty muskets, sold to them by the Englieh, with wer boats, armed at the prows with a six or nine pounder ineach. They will yield like reeds to the blast before the superior power of the English. They possess 16,000 slaves, taken from the Siamere, 1,000 from Anam, and 3,000 from China. They are short and stout, with olive colored skins, and coarse black hair; and, like other tropical Asiatics, slothful, until excited. Although devo- tional in their religious duties, they aro said to be much addicted to lieing and cheating. Their religion, as everybody knows, is idolatrous Buddhism. They have a corrupt and barbarous judicature, founded upon the ‘Institutes of Menu,” which were, wo believe, translated by Sir Wm. Jones, and which are of great purity and antiquity. nts consists ef rice, fish, lee of various kinds. Ani- mal food is prohibited by Buddhism. Their manufactures are rade, and the servile labor chiefly performed by females. Their import and export trade amounts te about $3,500,000 por annum. They some years ago exported four- teen million pounds cotton, valued at $1,000,- 000. Their chief trade is in silks, cotton, and teak wood. Their chief internal trade is with China. Their trade by sea is mostly with the English. Their government is a perfect despotism. Tho King is assisted by a sort of council of state, consisting of four ministers. The tenth of all pre- duce is claimed as a tax. Imports at Rangoen pay 12} per cent, and exports five percent. The Chinese pay 3,000 rupecs a year for the privilege of working certain mines. The King alse claims wrecks and the effects of strangers dying in the country. Edueation is low, though they possesssome knowledge of astronomy, and nearly all Burmese can, in their own way, read and write. The grounds upon which the British government in India have predicated this war, are very similar to those on which their other Indian wars have beon commenced. In this case they have not complained that the | Burmese have invaded a friendly territory, but that | English subjects have been badly treated by the | King and people of Burmah; that English traders | and merchants wero insulted, despoiled, and im- | prisoned, without sufficient cause, and were denied | redrevs; and that when Englishmen visited Burmah in an official capacity, they were insulted and driven out—hence war, invasion, and annexation became “inevitable,” with the acquisition of gold and | silver mines, and teakwood forests included. Perfectly right! We will never take half as much from Cuba or Mexico before we shall proceed ona similar campaign of civilization and annoxa- tion. There is nothing like steam, gunpowder, and types in modern civilization. The order of the day is annexation, and if England, the great Mogul ofannexationists, calls us of Egypt, filled with water from the river of Styx. We are strong believers in annexation. The French are trying their hand in Algeria; the Russians in Circassia and Tartary; the English in India by wholerale; and the United States, although hereto- fore quite modest, intend, some of these days, to go ahead on this continent, the opinion of the rest of the world, and of England in particular, to the con- trary notwithstanding. Mexican InJvstIcE TO AMERICAN MERCHANTS.— We publish to-day much interesting matter in re. lation to the present condition of the neighboring republic of Mexico, which confirms everything we have recently said in respect to its disorganized condition, and to the impending disruption which threatens its political and social existence. But one subject in this mass of information deserves especial notice, from its so deeply affecting the rights and property of such of our citizens as may have any commercial relations with that miserable country. It appears that an American cltizen, named Speyers, imported, in October, 1851, a large quantity of merchandise into the port of Matamoras, on whieh he discharged al! the custom house fees and duties, under the existing tariff. On sending them into the interior, however, they were scized by the Mexican authorities, in Monterey, under the pretoxt of their being contraband ; and subsequently they wore declared confiscated, notwithstanding that tho owner was furnished with all the necessary papers and documents from the custom house in Mata- moras. A portion of these goods were aftorwards restored to Mr. Speyers, but the remainder, con- sisting of more than Gfteen hundred bales, have been since detained, and are still in the hands of the authorities. Mr. Speyers lodged a formal protest against this un- just and illegal detention of his property, and applied for redress and protection to the United States lega- tien in Mexico. But our minister informed him, in reply, that it was almost impossible to prevail on the Mexican government to take any measure tor alleviating the distressed condition of the mercan- tile intereste—that the subject of admitting those prohibited goods was still under advisement, and that importers must either adopt the terms proposed by the government or re-export their merchandise, an alternative which he considered a mere moskery of justice. A subsequent communication, received by Mr. Speyers from th secretary of the legatien, attempts to console him for his losses by stating that the Mexican government was in a most wretched state, having neither money nor credit, and that the country was ina state of convulsion. Thus the matter remains, the wronged morchant being unable to obtain the restoration of his pro perty, much less any remuneration for the injury so / illegally inflicted upon his business. ‘The reason which the Mexican authorities assign for confiecating this property is that it is contra- band, or, in other words, that it was admitted under # vory reduced tariff. The fact is, that previous to the time of their importation there had existod® prehibitory tariff ; but the merchants of the country, | of Mr. Wallack it assumed an entirely new phase, to whose interests these high duties were adverse, got up a sort of revolution, conducted by Carayajal, £0 as to gain possession of the city and portef Mata- moras. The military governor, Avalos, to counter- are supposed to have their origin in # gold region of isamense value, probably exceeding in wealth those of Australia end California. This idea is strengthened from the fact of the known mineral wealth of the hill country of Bar- mah, and also from the fact that the country has, for many years, yielded about $500,000 in gold and $750,000 in silver. All precious metals and preciouy | stones of large size, belong to the government. Tao taxation is go great that the only mode to escape the oppression of the government is to accumulate nothing; and the mass of the people pursue this course a6 near as they can to keep alive. It is believed that, under free institutions, skill and industry would dig owt millions of gold -and ‘iver from the mines of Burmah. The hing of Bur- mah makes little uso of his gold besides gilding Buddhist temples and for ornamental purposes Besider gold and silver, the country also yields cop yer, tin, iron, lend, antimony, sulphur, areenis, and raltpetre; aleo precious stones, euch as rubles, sap act this movement, and at the eame time to procure money to pay his troops, esteblished an un low rate of duties, which satisfied the morchantsand made them withdraw from the support of Caravajal. It was, we believe, undor this moderate tariff that Mr Spoyers’ goods were introduced and cleared ; but now that the danger was past, the authorities, thinking they had a good opportunity of appro- printing this merchandise, laid an embargo upon it, when it had been sent as far as Monterey. It is very improbable that Mr. Spoyers will be able to obtain any justice or redress from the Mexi- can government. Many months may pass before even any show of legal right or fair play is rendered to him, if at all. But we think it isthe duty of our government to insist upon having justice done to him® and generally to take measuros for tho pro- tection of the mercantile interests of its citizens in Mexico. However proper may bo tho feeling which prompts ws to respect and pity the weakness of a neighboring State, wo must not permit that senti-” ment to carry us 80 far as to submit to the infra Won by itt wil prumeipios vi justice and equity. The Mexican goverament should be made to feel that it cannot thus trample with impunity on the rights of American citizens, by setting at nought all regard for its own public acts and character. pene. 0 ais tore athany ABoLiTION oR FREE Sor Vore In THE STATE or New York —The following statement shows the returns of the votes polled in eighteen of the fifty- eight counties of this State, for the electors nomi- nated by the free soil party, pledged to John P. Hale, for President, compared with the vote inthe same counties in 1844 for Birney, the abolition oan- didate for President, whose votes caused the defeat 8,207 Total in eighteen counties.. 14.857 8,267 Abolition Increase sinee 1844, 6 590 The remaining forty counties gave Birney, aboli- tion, (in 1844) 7,545 votes—the total vote in the State of that party then being 15,812. It will now, we think, exeeed 25,000 votes, and perhaps be equal or more than Pierce’s majority over Scott but that will not vary the result. American LITERATURE.—We have on a former occasion spoken very favorably of the high order of talent possessed by an American authoreas, who wrote and published several works of fiction which we believe attained much popularity in this country. We find that the lady is a3 industrious as she is talented, and besides that her labors are devoted not to the attainment of the unenviable fame fa “blue stocking,” but to the more creditable ambition of earning a competent support for her two orphan children. In this point of view, and consid- ered asa noble minded woman straggling against adveree fate, and cultivating her intellectual qual- ities for such high purposes, wo deem her eminently entitledgo public patronage, even more than if she possessed the powers of a Corinne or » Madame de Stael, without that higher and more holy sentiment There has now issued from the press of a publishing house in Philadelphia, a well got up edition of a new work from this iady’s pen, entitled ‘The North and South, or Slavery and its contrasts.” We havo had time merely to glance over the book, without being able to form any estimate ofits value; but we recommend it most cordially to the reading portion of the public, as well for the ability which wo are convinced from her literary antecedents have been dieplayed in this work, as for that higher motive whic prompts us to admire and support the young mother toiling alone and unaided for her ehildren. Theatrical and Masical. Warrack’s Lycxum.—The extraordinary popularity which this theatre has acquired since the establishment of its mew régime under the managemont of Mr. James Wallack, in September last, affords unmistakeable evi- dence of the high point of education te which the drama- tic taste of the community has attaimed, and of the cer- zainty that real talent in the theatrical line will always find itself appreciated ard rewarded in thiscity. Prior to this new and brilliant epoch in the history of the Ly- ceum, its existence had been one of uniform failure and disappointment, but when it passed into the hands and suddenly sprung up into such popular esti. mation, that now there is no sueh word for it as “fail,” Bat Wallack was a familiar name to the play-goers of this metropolis and country, and his former career as an admired and talented actor, and asa manager of the “old National’ theatre, as well as the more recent laurels acquired by him in the management of the Haymarket theatre, London, and on the boards of that metropolis, was a sure guarantee to the public that the establishment of which he was to be the head would be well entitled to their patronage. And so it has proved. ‘The success of the Lyceum, for the first few months after its re-opening, satisfied the most sanguine hopes of its manager, and wes the best evidence of the talent, tact and liberality, with which its internal affairs were conduc- ted. But unprecedented as had been the steady, increasing | rise of popularity, the full flow of prosperfty to which the theatre has since attained is{stiil more remarkable, and is | to be attributed to the resumption by Mr. Wallask him- felf of the sock and buskin, and his re-appearance before the American public, after a five years absence from their boards. He has now played some six and-twenty consecutive nights, before the most crowded and fa- shicnable audiences—though he has only appeared all that time in four characters. Every night of these the house has been erowded from footlights to ceiling, and | the rapturous applause with which,Mr. Wallack has been continually greeted by his audiences, must be a gratify- ing tribute to bim while it is a’ proof of hie rest talents snd popularity as = manager and actor. ‘The pieces in which he has already played, and in which he has well sustained bis pristine reputation, are Shak- epeare’s ccmedy of * Much Ado About Nothing,” Mr. W. playing Benedict ; “Spring and Autumn,” in which he played Mr. Rattle; “Wild Oats,” wherein he performs | is masterly character of Rover; and lastly, in Douglas | Jerrold’s melo-drama of the “Rent Day,’ in which he enacts the réle of Martin Heywood. These characters, widely dissimilar in their range and conception, require in him who acts all of them equally well a versatility ot power and genius not often found existing in the most able actors. But the crowded houses which even the tenth and twelfth consecutive representation of the one piece has | drawn, and the éclat with which Wallack has been greeted in it, show that he possesses in an eminent degree that rare ver-atility. Mr. Wallack ,we understand, to Boston cn Saturday to fulfil a professional engygement of te nights there, after which he will return and resume hii labors here He takes his benefit on Friday night, and will probably celebrate bis congé with a speech to tho audience. But while we accord to Mr. Wallack himself in both branches of his profession the chief and prepondera- ting influences of the success of the Lyceum, we must not be supposed to have lost sight of or depreciated the emi- nent artists of whom his theatrical company is replete. His ron Mr. Lester, Blake, Brougham, Seguin, Hale, and Chippendale.go to constitute a eorps which asa wh is unequalled in thiscity, and is seldom matched on any boards; and in the female department equally eminent namet appeear. Mirs Laura Keene, who ‘debuted”’ here some months ago, and created much sensation, pro- greesing in popularity, and has become quite a ‘favorite actress; and then there are Mesdames Blake, Cramer, Buckland, Brougham, Hall, Rea, and Gould. With suca ee and auxiliaries it is not to be wondered that Vallack’s Lyceum has become such a fashionable resort for the lovers of the comic drama Mr. Lester we believe takes his benefit on Monday night.
