DANIEL \VEBST_ER---Col. Hamilton in his
“ Men and Manners,” gives the following
uietch of this distinguished statesman :--
The person who has,succeeded in rivetting
most strongly the attention of the Whole
Union, is undoubtedly Mr. \’Vebster. From
the Gulf of St. Lawrence to that of Mexi-
co, from Cape Sable to Lake Superior, his
name has become, as it were, a household
‘word. Many disapprove his politics, but
none deny his great talents, his unrivalled
fertility of argument, or his power, even
still more remakable, of rapid and compre-
hensive induction. In short, it is univer-
sally believed by his countrymen that Mr.
Webster is ii great man ; and in this inatterl
certainly make no pretcnsion to singularity
of creed. Mr. VVebster is a man of whom
any country might well be proud. His
knowledge is at once extensive and minute,
his intellectual resources very great; and
whatever may be the subject of discussion,
he is sure to shed on it the light of an active
acute, and porwerful mind.
I confess, however, I did see Mr. 'Web-
ster under the influence of some prejudice.
For the very day of my arrival in the United
States, I had been involuiitarily familiar
with his name and pretensions. Gentle-
men sent me his speeches to read. \Vlien
I talked ofvlsiting Boston, the observation
uniformly followed, “ Ah I there you will
as‘: Mr Webster.” 'When I reached Bos-
ton, I encountered condolence on all hands.
“ You are very unfortunate,” said my
friends, “ Mr. Webster set out yesterday
for Washington.”——Whenever at Philadel-
phia and Baltimore it became known that
I had visited Boston, the question, “did
you see Mr.Webster '1” was a sequence as
constant and unvarying as that of the sea-
sons.
The result of all this was, that the name
of Webster became invested in my ear with
an adventitious cacophony. It is not pleas-
ant to admire upon compulsion, and the
very preeminence of this gentleman, had
been converted into something of abore.
To Washington, however, I came, armed
with letters to the unconscious source of my
annoyance. The first night of my arrival
I met him at a ball. A dozen people point-
ed him out to my observation, and the first
glance rivetted my attention. I had never
seen any countenance more expressive of
intellectual power.
The forehead of Mr. VVebster is high,
"broad, and advancing. The cavity beneath
the eyebrow is remarkably large. The eye
is deeply set, but full, dark and, penetrating
in the highest degree; the nose prominent
and well defined ; themouth marked by the
rigid compression’ of the lips, by which the
New Englanders are distinguislied.—\Vhen'
Mr. Webster's countenance is in repose, its
expression struck me as cold and forbidding
but in conversation it lightens up ; and
when he smiles, the whole impression it
communicates is at. once changed. His
voice is clear, sharp, and firm, without much
variety of modulation ; but when animated,
it rings on the car like a clarion.
‘ As an orator, I should imagine Mr Web-
ster’s forte to lie in the department of pure
reason. I cannot conceive his even at-
tempting to appeal to the feelings. It could
not even be successful ; and he has too
much knowledge of his own powers to en-
counter failure. In debate his very counte-
nance must tell. Few men would hazard
a voluntary sophism under the glance of
that eye, so cold, so keen, so penetrating,
so expressive of intellectual power. A sin-
gle look would be enough to wither up a
whole volume of bad logic.
In the Senate I had, unfortunately, no op-
portunity to hear Mr. Webster display his
great powers as a debutor. During my stay
the subjects on which he happened to speak
were altogether ofinferior interest. In the
Supreme Court he delivered several legal
.arguments which certainly struck me as ad-
‘mirable, both in regard to matter and man-
ner. The latter was neither vehement nor
‘subdued. It was the manner of conscious
power, tranquil and self-possessed.
Mr. Webster may be at once acquitted of
all participation in the besetting sins of the
orators of his age and country. I even
doubt, whether, in any single instance, he
can be fairly charged with having uttered a
sentence of mere decl'amation.——His speech-
Scs have nothing about them of gaudiness
; and glitter. VVords with him are instru-
ments, not ends ; the vehicles, not of sound
.merely, but of sense and reason. He ut-
ters no periods full of noise and fury, like
he voice of an idiot signifying-—nothing;
and it certainly -exhibits proof that the taste
of the Americans is not yet irretrievahly de-
praved, when an orator like Mr. Webster,
‘wlig dispises all the stale and petty trickery
of his art, is called by acclamation to the
first place.
Iirconversatien, Mr. Webster is particu-
larly agreeable. It seems to delight him,
.Wl'l€n lie mingles with his friends, to cast
off the trammcls of weighty cogitation, and
merge the lawyef and the statesmen in his
companion ;--a more pleasant and instruc-
tive one, I have rarely known in any coun-
try. As a politician the opinions of Mr.
“Tebster are remarkably free from intoler-
His knowledge is both accurate and
‘extensive. He is one of the few men in
America who understand the British Con-
stitution, not as a more abstract system of
‘laws and institutions, but in its true form
and pressure, as it works and acts upon the
people, modified by a thousand influences,
_ofwhich his countrymen in general know
nothing. '

Murder.—Tlie desperation evinced and
which arrived at this port yesterday, are,
perhaps, unperalleled. The particulars
have been collected from Capt. I'Ioward,the
commander ofthat vessel :-
It appears that the Texas sailed from
hence on the 13th December last, under
the command of Capt. Ellory, with F. Bab-
cock on board as supercargo, bound to the
coast of Africa on a; trading voyage. On
the 17th of March J; \Valpole, of Philadel-
phia, the chiefinatc, was broke for disobedi-
ence of orders and superceded by the then
second mate—now captaiu—Chas. How-
ard. Some time after the arrival of the
vessel at the Cape, Capt Ellory died of the
Cape fever, and the command of the vessel
was given by the supercargo, Mr. Babcock
to Mr. Howard. On the 25th. of May, the
Supercargo was also carried off by the fe-
ver. The iiext day Capt Howard and Mr.
J. Smith, who had been appointed mate
were on shore on business; during their ab-
sence \Valpole who had sailed from hence
as first officer and been broke,loaded no less
than twenty pair of pistols with two balls
each; the captain and the mate returned
on board about four. o’clock in the after-
noon, retired to the cabin lay down and fell
asleep on the transom. \V-alpole then put
as many of the pistols in his belt as it
W0lIld lmld, and lay the remainder in rows
on the Transom. IIe then took deliberate
aim at the captain and fired. One ball en-
tering the groin and the other the lower
part of the abdomen. He next turned
round and shot Mr. Smith, the mate,
through the heart, who died without a
struggle. Proceeding to the deck, \V:il—
pole fired and severely wounded John Gow-
ing, the carpenter, exclaiining “I have kil-
led two and will kill every white man on
board. Hearing this, and the report of the
pistol, John Berry, a scanian rushed for-
ward to close with W'alpole, who retreated
and fled into the Cabin, and as Berry de-
scended the steps, he fired at him, but for-
tunately the Ball passed over Bcrry’s head-
and lodgedin the deck. Berry then suc-
ceeded in seizing \Valpole by the throat
and throwing him on the floor. VVhile thus
prostrate he again fired, but without effect.
At this moment one of the crew on deck
handed a pistol through the skylight to Ber-
ry, who caught it and blew out the mui'der-
er’s brains.
\Valpole in his frenzy declared that he
would be revenged; that no man should be
captain but himself and if this could not be
otherwise effected, he would kill every
white man on board. That he would then
go to the island of Bonney, get a crew, take
a cargo of slaves, and proceed to Havana.
He had previously secured all the gold and
valuables in the vessel.
Capt Howard is in a very feeble state,
the balls not having yet been extracted, and
it is feared he will lose the use of his legs.
The Texas is now at anchor at quarantine.
The 1/Vcst.—Tlie opening of that great
canal, which constitutes the proudest monu-
ment of that eminent and lamented states-
mon, De VVitt Clinton,brought an immense
amount oftrade, and a large accession of
wealth to the Empire State.
The monopoly was not enjoyed long;
the Canadians soon connected lake Erie
and Ontario by a canal, navigable for schrs.
and consequently received a share of that
trade, which New York for a short time ex-
clusively enjoyed.
Pennsylvania, aware ofthe great advaii-
tages flowing from these internal improve-
ments, is now maturing plans for partici-
pating in them, and, as we are informed by
the Cleavland Herald, “is seriously agita-
ting the subject of a cross cut through a
portion ofOiiie, to commiinicate with the
Ohio canal at the Portage summit.”
Should this be done, the VVest will not
only have another market for her produce
butwill be enabled to ship it to the propos-
ed new market two months earlier than she
has heretofore done, to her other markets.
The great and growing West will be able
to furnish a valuable trade through these
three avenues, and we trust and believe that
internal improvements will greatlyincrease
and flourish, and sincerely hope that the nu-
merous physical means of communications
by which the citizens of all the States may
be united, may form appropriate symbols
of the enduring ties of brotherly affection
and high-souled patriotism.——Ind. Press.
An Enterprising Lad;/.—In one of the
towns of Connecticut, somewhat remote
from the silk districts, a farmer in moder-
ate circumstances owns a small mulberry
orchard, which was left to him by his father
who died a few years since, before the same
had become old enough for use. It has
been entirely neglected until during the last
season, when it was discovered by, and at-
tracted the attention of a young lady from
Mansfield, a town already distinguished for
its rich production of silk, who applied to
the owner for the use of it this season. A
bargain was finally concluded upon the
proposals of the fair applicant—tlie business
being conducted on shares. She was to
bring her worms from Mansfield and do all
the work, and the owner of the mulberry
trees to have one halfthe product. At the
proper period the necessary fixtures were
arranged, the worms hatched and opera-
tions commenced. Diiring the first three
weeks, the worms requiring only. a small
share of her time, she contrived to change
work, with several families in the neighbor-
hood—arranged her bargains so as to have
the work returned when she required as-
sistance—providing also for her board du-
ring the time it would be necessary to re-
main in the place. ' In this way she mana-
ged to accomplish the whole enterprise
without any expense out, and at the expi-
ration of six or seven weeks she had produc-
ed fifty four pounds of raw silk. worth in
cash $4 per lb. which being divided accor-
ding to contract, left her share 27 pounds,
She thus acquired for her month and B lialf’s
services a net proceed of$l08.

New Orleans, Sept. '7, 1833.
Our city is very nearly abandoned by a
great portion of the inhabitants having left
here for the North and West, and not a few
seeking refuge nearer home, over the lake,
or anywhere, rather than this abode of pes-
tilence. The cholera has subsided, but the
yellow fever of amost malignant type, has
followed close upon its heels, and is now
raging with great violence. Numbers ‘of
uiiacclimated persons have already fallen
victims to it.—Witl1iii a few days we have
had abundance ofrain, attended with high
wind, but to-day (the 7th) the weather is
clear and very warm. The effect this
change ofweather may have upon the health
of the city is iincertaiii—I trust a merciful
Providence will order it for the better.
It is impossible for you Bostonians—l
UK a 1 those who have always resided at home
—to appreciate the comforts you enjoy in
the Paradise (for such it is when compared
with some other cities) which you inhabit.
The prospects of the planter for the coin-
ing season are very flattering; the sugar
cane never looked better, and the cotton
crop promises to be abundant. Should the
most sanguine hopes of the planter be real-
ized, lie will scarcely be remunerated for
loss incurred within a year or two past by
bad crops and Cholera.
III]/stcrious Disappaarance.—On Friday
the 20th ult. Mr. -— Faircbild, living in
the upper part of Roxbury, had occasion
to go toa ncighbor’s house, about half a
mile distant, to borrow a small some of
money. He left his house about sunset,
went to the neighbor’s, obtained the money,
and as was supposed started for liome——but
from that time to the present nothing has
been seen or heard of him. He was in
good health, in uncmbarrassed circumstan-
ces-—was not discovered to have any thing
prcying upon his mind—and from these
facts it is feared he may have been murder-
ed and his body concealed. Several days
were spent by a large number of persons in
hunting for him in the neighboring county
witboiit success.
P. S. \Vc learn since the above was writ-
ten that the man has been found, in a near-
ly faniislied state, about a mile from his
fathers residence in Newtown. He was dis-
covered lyingiii an orchard by some gen-
tlemen who were walking out on Sunday
last--the money he had with him when he left
home was still in his possession, though his
cloths were literally in rags. He appears
to be a perfect maniac,and so feeble and ex-
hausted as not to be able to give any ac-
count of himself whatever. It is suppos-
ed he had siibsisted entirely upon fruits
since he left home.——Li'tcb. Eng.
The Eric (Pa.) Gazette mentions, that on
VVednesday, the 14th inst. the schooner
New Connecticut, loaded with flour and
wheat, was capsized about 12 miles below
that town. She was immediately abandon-
ed by the captain and crew, who succeeded
in making the shore in a small boat, leaving
a passenger, Mrs. Appleby, in the cabin,
whom they were unable to relieve. The
schooner went ashore some distance below.
On Saturday, persons went on board of her
for the purpose of getting her off. The
steamboat \V in. Peacock hitched to her,
but was unable to remove her; they con-
tinued, however to work until Monday,
when they succeeded in getting her afloat.
All this time they never thought of looking
after the woman, supposing, beyond all
doubt, she had perished. On entering the
cabin, however, to their astonishment, they
found her alive, and she is now at Portland
doing well. She was during the whole
time in water up to her neck, and had noth-
ing to subsist on but a cracker and an onion,
which floated to her.

VARIETY.
Remarkable natural Production.——VVe
had yesterday an opportunity of inspecting
a very remarkable monster. It was
nothing less than a terrapin with two bodies
eight legs, two tails, two heads and one
neck. \Vc hardly know whether to call
this production one or two animals. The
bodies are perfectly distinct, except at a
point ofjunctioii at the breast bone, and
the two heads possess but one neck. VVc
are under the impression that it would be
impossible to separate without destroying
these animals. From the position in which
the bodies are placed, (being breast to
breast,) their movements must necessarily
be confined to the water, as the feet cannot
be brought in contact with the ground. \Ve
understand that this production has been
presented to Dr. Ravenel, he, no doubt,
will give a more minute description of it —-
VVe would suggest the propriety of pre-
serving these animals alive, if possible until
they have attained their full growth. This
will afford an opportunity of watching their
habits and movements. Should they die,
however, before that period, dissection will
developc the nature of the connection, and
determine whether the animals are suppli-
with distinct sets of vessels and nerves, or
whether they are common to both.

Intempcrancc and C'rimc.-—Tlie Court of
Sessions yesterday exhibited a busy and in-
structive, tliough melancholy scene. Fifty-
six persons were tried. The first four or
five having one after anotlierattributed their
misconduct to intoxication, our reporter no-
ted the names oftlic other prisoners, as they
were called, who made a similar confession,
and the result was, that out of the first
tweiity-seven prisoners who were found
guilty, fifteen acknowledged of their own
accord that i.\"ri:iurznANci: had led them to
the commission ofthe crimes of which they
were convicted. Four others were clearly
proved to have been drunk when they viola-
ted the law ; among whom was a respecta-
ble young man, convicted ofpctty larceny,
who on the death of an aged mother will
come into possession of a large estate, and
who even now is allowed by his parent: am-
ple means to satisfy every reasonable want.
Another case was that of a man named
Valentine Sutliff, who was found guilty ofa
violent assault on his own mother, a woman
advanced in years. It was a matter of
painful interest to see the old lady prosecu-
ting her son. She deposed that he had lat-
terly tuken to drinking, and during his fits
ofintoxication had committed such furious
assaults upon her as to endanger her life.
Her manner, while giving testimony, clear-
ly evinced the struggle which was going on
between parental affection and the desire of
self-preservatioii. The prisoner was seii-
tenced to six months hard labor at Black-
well’s Island.—.]. of Com.

TUESDAY. OCTOBER 1, 1833.
T'rie goveriinient paper at Wasluiiigton an-
nounced on the 20th inst., that the deposits would
be removed forthwith, and in the same paper of
the 23d, appeared a document of about the same
length as one of the annual messages of the
President, purporting to be the President’s rea-
sons for their removal, as read by him in cabin-
et mceting on the 18th.. VVe cannot find room
for this lengthy and novel document. After a
careful persual we can discover no new allega-
tions, excepting that of keeping a small contin-
gent fund for the purpose of printing such docu-
ments, as the defence of the institution might
require, and when it is considered tlial the at-'
tack was commenced by the President. in his
first message to congress, Wll(D the charlcr
had yet some 8 or 9 years to run, and threatened
not only to prevent a recharler, but to injure the
credit and operations of the institution, this
charge of defending itselfis asmall matler. We
should think that ifit had not done it, care for
the property of the Nation vested in it, would
have authorised a coinplainl of its inisinanng-
ment to congress. Our object, however, is not
so much to defend the Bank, as to give our rca-'
ders a correct account of what transpires.

At the last session of Congress the deposits
were declared safe, by an overwlielming vote.-—
By this vote of Congre.‘~s Mr. Duane felt
bound, unless something new in the sure of
the question authorized its evasion. Much is
said respecting the disregard of this circum-
stance, also, by the President, more especial-
ly as it is only two months to the meeting of
Cong rcss.
On this subject the new Jacl.‘son paper in N.
speaks thus :
“ ‘Vere not those men elected at the same"
time; a great majority elevated by the same
votes that secured General Jackson in the
Presidential Chair’! Are two hundred rcp-
rescntatives less worthy of trust than one
man’! Has the republican party so lost its
iiitcgrity, its honor, and its virtue, that it
hasfilled the halls ofCongi'css with the tools
of a inonied aristocracy? Can this be so?

the deed is done. These sounds are as yet
novel, and uuheardof, yet, we are creatures
ofh:-ibit and can soon become reconciled to
that which once struck us with lioi'ror.”
This is strong language for a friend of the-
President, and will show our readers what the
message must be. It ought to be added that the

5 or 6 per cent, actually res‘: two per cent after

The stcainboafs on the Hudson, and lllO'a'C

speed, and run from 16 to 18 miles an hour but
they are all to be surpassed by :1 new boat new

rate of 25 miles an hour.

ofa peculiar construction, with one wheel

40 feet in width, leaving the space between them‘
in the centre where the wheel is to be placed,
16 feet. As there can be no Communication
with the cones or bottom, except by the air
pump, all the cabins, oflices, machinery‘ &c.
must be upon deck. It is not expected that
more power will be required to propel this boat

an hour—tlie gain is expected to result from-
