\Vedncstilay, -May 17, 1843.
Daniel VVebster resigned the ofiice ofSecre-
tary of State, on Tuesday, the 9th.
Hugh S. Legare, Attorney General of the
United States, is appointed Acting ‘Secre-
tary of State for the present.
Caleb Cushing. of Massachusetts is appointed
Minister and Commissioner to China, in the
place of Edward Everett, who declines the ap-
pointment.
RoBBt«:rur.—'l‘he packet office of Noah Sel-
leck of this place, was forcibly entered on
Tuesday night the 9th inst. and robbed of all
the money that could be come at, which con-
sisted of $5.50 in cents. There were in the
safe at the time a considerable amount of funds
in a much more desirable currency. The en
trance was effected by prying otit, apparently
with a bar of iron.the bar oftlte front window,
until one section of the shutter could he slipped
out. A pane ofglass was then broken anti the
sash raised. Suspicion rests upon an lrishiuan,
a stranger, who was hanging about the ofiice
during the afternoon, and who offered to pay
his passage in the sloop which was to sail that
evening for New York. The object was money.
as nothing else was molested. VVhile he was
present much money was handled in paying ofl'
the bills ofthe waggoners, which probably in-
duced the hope of making a haul. A small
trunk containing sundry papers of little valtte
was taken Olll upon the wharf, forced open, but
as nothing was found worth taking. the papers
and trunk were all left on the spot. Nothing
llJ.S since been seen or heard of the chap.
"\V1ir7:ni:: AM I To so ?'’—.\I r. Vfebster, it
will be seen, has at length found an answer to
this interrogation. He is (0 go to Marshfield,
Mass, and the Captain will endeavor to steer
the ship of State without him. Howevenlittle
this result might have been expected or desired
by the Secretary of Sta'e, when the enquiry
was made, he might easily. as did his friends,
have forseen the event. John Tyler is too on-
stable in his social or political principles, to
hold any of his purposes long, however sincere-
ly entertained for the time being, towards those
around him. Much less had Mr. Webster any
warrant for indtilgiug in a hope of remaining
in the Cabinet after an exhibition ofhis pliancy
and a manifest willingness to break with his
friends. rather than to sacrifice his place. If
our estimate of the character of the Accident
is correct, no greater inducement‘ could be
offered to send a man adrift, that a knowledge
ofthe fact that the proposed victim had sacri-
ficed every other interest to subserve those of
‘he man who held over him the chastising rod.
If Mr. \Vebster did not realize the truth of this
when he made the above enquiry in the old
cradle of liberty, his friends did, and earnestly
predicted the very thing which has now come
to pass. It now becomes a question of ntuch
interest, what course will the Ex-Secretary, in
the present posture ofthiugs, take. As to Tyler-
ism, he is no doubt heartily sick of that, and
if he were not, its utter prristration leaves but
little of abiding good for him to hope from that
He cannot, we think, coalesce with
locofocoisni. The only course, then, for him
is, the perhaps humiliating one of coming
back to the friends whom he took upon him to
admonish for their prompt and manly coursein
holding no parley faithlessness and
treachery.
If Mr. VV. is wise, he will adopt this course,
and be more wary in ftiture about listening
to the syren song of power. The step may
cost a little sacrifice of feeling. but to the
extent that it does so, it will enhance his claim
to a kind and generous reception.

with
Brother Holly, you area voluble, flippant
old customer as we have met with for sotne
whole days together. It is a pitty there
should be any draw back to these qualities, or
rather that they should so far _outstrip your
well known veneration for truth. If you can
prone what you assert, that our report of the pro‘
ceedings of the legislature was a 'verbatim
transcript of yours, we will give you credit for
more eminent qualities than we have yet done_
As we take it for granted that this cannot be
done, we feel no particular obligation to thank
you. for using as we like, the report of the
Hartford Courant, condensed or otherwise, and
be hanged to you.
Petitions for divorce are unusally numerous,
at the present session of our Legislature. A-

sent up a remonstrance. A
In reducing the proceedings of the Legisla.
ture to otir limits, we have omitted to notice
most ofthese petitions, as well as other matters.
in which we supposed our readers would feel no
interest, and would therefore prefer to be reliev-

The death ofthe child of Joshua. B. Ferris.
Esq. which was announced under our abituary
head, was drowned in the canal at Stamford.
The cap ofthe deceased was found by some of
his mates.and as it was known that he had
been playing on the dock. fears for the worst
were excited, which, on dragging the basin,
were ftilly realized. The lifeless body was
found, and vigorous and unremitting efforts
were made to restore life, but without success.
The lad is said by the Advocate to have been
one ofunusual interest and promise,

FlREl FIRE l ! Illr. Editor.—The frequent
alarms offire of late, occasioned by the burning
of brush and other combustible matterin the
night season, have been not only the cause of
much alarm to our citizens but ofserions annoy-
ance to the Fire Companies. These bonfires
at night are a breach of the Borough Laws,
and punishable by heavy fines. Many proba-
bly, of the citizens of the borough are ignorant
of this fact, and do not stop to consider the evils
which arise from the practice, The object of
the writer is to make this fact more generally
known, and to call upon the Fire Inspectors to
enforce the law indiscriminably. Ifthe object
is to sport with the Fireman, who are ever on
the alert, at the first sound of an alarm, or ap-
pearance of fire, the penalty cannot be too
rigidly enforced. A F1rmMAN_

United Stiles, has been (llSCOVt‘l't(l in a re
mote and unsettled part of Lezikc county, on
the Yokanodkanzi river. The bunches are

ned and oval; pulp soft, with three seeds in-
closed; it is a great bearer, and of delicious
flavor. Only one vine has been di.-tcovercd.
The editor has been promised some cut.

the Iridians,aud called the Yoktinodkana
Grape.
\Ve think the Editor of the Free Trader
must be mistaken about this being the “only
white grape indigenuous in the U. S.” There
is not a stream of water ofany size, in this vi-
cinity with which we have had any acquaint-
ance but that is environed to a greater or less
extent with the white grape. They do not
corresppnd with the above description, being
round instead of oval, 4 seeds and corresponding
in every particular ‘excepting color, with the
common purple grape so abundant in this region.
The species discovered by the Free Trader,
corresponds so exactly with certain species of
the foreign grape. as to induce a belief that it is
a foreign rather than an indigenuous product.
