FRANKLIN DEXTEA, OF MASSACHUSETTS. Franklin Dexter, the eminem counselior, scholar and politician, died at his residence in Boston yesterday, at an advanced age, Mr. Dexter was born st Charlestown, Massachusetts, and was a son of Samuel Dexter, one of the compatriots of Otis and Adams when they stirred up their fellow-citizens to resist the aggressions of the crown. The son followed in bia fasher’s footsteps, and afler graduating at Harvard in 1212, commenced the prac- oe of the law at Boston. Althongh Mr. Dexter as a poli ticlan deatred inttuence rather than place, yet he wen through the goed old Boston course, served in the Com. mon Council, im both branchos of the State Legislature, and was once District Attorney of the United States for Matmacbusetts. Mr. Dexter was ono of the most eminent lawyers of an eminent bar. In the great case of the Commonwealth against Knapp and otner, charged with the murder of White at Salem, where Mr. Webster!'led for the prosecution, Mr. Dexter was tho leader of the defence, and the giants of the bar nad an in- tellectual seve rarely equelied. Mr. Dexter was a whig of the old fashicned State street bine jight school, and whe hat party held the Stave be was ono of iw moni yro minent . Of late be has ret red from active life, Dut bis political optsions knew no change. He refused to join any of the new parties, and was, we believe, almott alone in so doing. 1a the case of Professor Webster, con- victed of the murder of Parkman, it wae supoosed that he would lead for the defence, as the guil'y man had been his intimate friend, but he deciined, on the ground that he had retired from crimival practice long before. Mr. Dex- ter married Catherine, sister of Mr. Prescott tne histo. rian, and leaves a very large fortune. CHISF JUSTICE LEB, OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

Let us un- roll (he mapa of the island and follow the various red lines indicative of telegraphic enterprise. Sixty miles tothe west, as the bird files, or twice that by the coast line, and ‘we are in Trinity Bay, the seocnd large indentation on the Rorthern coast. It is sixty miles deep by thirty wide, wkh high broken shores, covered with « smal’ growth of pine aad spruce, smong which {s excellant deer and partridge shooting. Nowhere is there the sign of vitality in the form! ot bemiete or even fabing huts, butcn every side the fame unbroken wilderness as when Cabot first ran his boas ashore, except that now and then some fishing bost may ‘be soon with its dirty ) ed and black salls. Some potni in this bay is now to be the terminus of th@ Atlan iio cable, and what point iva question tha: looms up into fmmense importance when we consider that{im the event of its be'ng successfully laid, the ovly cavse of dis- ruption will be in the shallow water near its termini, whem it may be brought in contact wih roeks or the anchors of vessels, or the immense masses of loe which every yrar ground on thie coast. The captain of the Victoria counted ‘as many as half a dozen of these ico islands in Trinity Bay during the last week. Captain Dayman, of the Oyclops, being restricted in potnt of time, having positive orders to return te Cork be fore the 2d of June, had not time to make any ozamina- tions with regard to this bay, and it now remains for Oap- tain Berryman to determine the exact point where the cable shall be landed. ‘The Arctic will accordiagly sail for Trinity Bay on the 6th, remaining there unti) the arrival of the Niagara, ‘The Bay of Bulls, its westernmost arm, will very possibly ‘be selected—a bottle shaped projection of the sea, where ice seldom enters,and whh deep water. It ie wikhin three miles of the southern shore, so that, connecting with the submarine oabie on the southern side, the line would Ne on the island during but three miles of its course. B is, however, not improbable that Captain Berryman may decide to land the bable at the very head of Trinity Bay. The wa‘ers of the northern and southern bays here ap- Proach within two and three miles—so near that the port- age bas often been used for the transit of small yeasels, ta avoid two or three hundred miles of dreary coasting. 1% wo Come-by-Chance—which runs beck a mile or two, and several ponds, leaving little over one mile of thorough cutting. The expense would not exceed $200,000.
