Funeral orations on the late Presidezt had been

The California Bill was not yet pronounced upon

course may be panned in relation thereto.
The execution of Professor Webster, for the murder
of Dr. Parkman, is fixed for the 30th of August.
The following is from the report of the committee
on pardons to the enmities council :
It seems to your committee that the sentence is the case
of said Webster, having been pared by the court, after
a fall ant fair trial, in the course of which all the face and
circumstances which *sold then be brought light were
atiently and thoroughly investigated sad weighedby the
jury, sad having beat fully affirmed, at et a careful revi-
sion of the law upon trial, state bed by the fall court, cm
totem argoneent on both sides, there apposes to be so
ground for executive interposition, except it may be found'
in the sebsequot confession of the prisoner. In this view,
Vta on'y questions, as it seems to us, are, whether the state-1
meats which said Webster now makes ia his confession, of
the manner and circumstances of the ► ski le, ars o eon-
firmed by other evidence, or so intrinsically probable, that
they ought to be rewind as true; and if true, whether
they justify the executive fa a commutation of the punish-
ment. To these questions the minds of the committee have
been moat carefully directed, and, as they trast, with no
unwillingness on chair part to some to an &them,-
dm conclusion, if they could de so consistently
with • supreme regard to truth and judos. But,
after all the consideration which they have been able
to bestow upon this confession, and under the light of all the
evidence and the comments with which it has ben accont-
ponied and supported, they feel coastralued to say, that the
effect has not been such as to satisfy their minds that the
position of the case Is materially changed. Is other words,
the palliating facts and circumstances set forth in the confes-
sion, have not been so conemed by other evidence and
circumstances as to form • proper and suffici.nt basis for
executive interference. To this Rejoin' conclusion the com-
mittee have unanimously come. Th• committee therefore
respectfully report, that they cannot consistently with what
they onceive their duty, recommend • commutation of the
sentence in the ma of John W. Webster, as played for in
his petitions. Nothing now remains for the committee, is
the discharge of this painful duty, but to advise your exml•
lency in determining epos a time for the mention, end they
acme Friday, the 30th day of August nut, as the day ; and
✓icommend to your excellency to decide upon that day so
the time for the execution of John W. Webster.

Another dreadful Are has broken out in San Fran-

The following account is from the San Francisco
Herald of Jose 18 :

We have scarcely courage or spirit to attempt calmly to
record this last sad most terrible disaster to our apparently
damned city. We know not bow to sufficiently collect our

portion of the city have been consumed. The property of
this heaviest houses in town—the hard earnings of years of
escoessful industry—haws btu swept away. Gloom and
desolation has settled on many a stout hurt. Many a man
in may circumstances has boon brought to the verge of ruin.
The commercial realness of this fair city has received a
shock from which at will not recover for many a month to
some.

It is owing to the noble and manly exertions of Gregory

The American ocean steamer, Washington, Capt.

en route for Bremen, and landed her mails under the
charge of Mr. Abram Adams, purser.
The Washington brings news from New York to
the 20th of July, 6 p.m.
There were on board 32 passengers for Southamp-
ton, and 37 who proceed to Bremen.
The cargo, of 20 tons measurement, consists of
assorted goods, with specie to the amount of 60,000
dollars for Bremen.

The weather experienced during the voyage was
pleasant, with light variable winds.
The intelligence of Sir Robert Peel's death had

NEW YORK, Amy 20.
On Thursday night last this part of the country
was visited with a very severe storm from the east,
which prostrated a large amber of tress, injured
the standing crops, and fliers 'shore a large amber
of vessels fa our bay. Several fine paoFea were
beached, sad general of the harbour steamers wrecked.
We have amounts of similar Masten in oar vicinity.
From Washington we 'hall bare nothing deficits

one retires. You will know its monition by the
next steamer. The prevalent idea there is, that it
will be so shaped u to give confidence to the public

sad nettle the slavery question definitively. The dif-
ference appears now to be narrowed down u to what
shall be Ss boundary line between Texas and New
Mexico. Is this there is a marked resemblance to
the famous Missouri compromise, when the great

We regret to hear that the steamer Viceroy cannot
be saved. She is het bushing up, but her machi-
nery and furniture will be saved.
The people of Portland, Maine, are dining them-
selves to construct a railway from that city to some
point in Nova Scotia, whence a new line of steamers
is to run to Galway. The ocean may then be crossed
in fire days.
Very deep regret is felt in this country on account
of the death of Sir Robert PeeL His character and
public services are fully known to the American
people.
We have dates from Port-an-Prince to the 10th
ultimo. Austin is increasing his army by all the
usual methods of tyrants. The merchants and clerks
of foreign birth are actually impressed into the service
and marched off to the Spanish frontier. A clerk, of
the hoses of Tweedy and Co. (an English house), was
one of the conscripts. If foreign merchants are to be
dragged from their business to make war on their
neighbours, bemuse its black monarch is beat on sub-
jogathg them, we must admit there is not much
safety in trusting person :rrepierittrty in Hayti.
An extra sluice of the store of Texas has

Among cur domestic items of interest are the fol-
lowing : A perfect d of the star Lyra

first successful attempt of a similar hind.
The Hudson River Railway is doing a large lin/d-
-oom Daring the present month the daily number of
passengers has been 3,466. Al this number will in-
crease with the extension of the road to its northern
terminus at Albany, its genes receipts for the next
year may be set down at two millions of dollars. At
this rate the stock will pay enormous dividends.
The country is very prosperous. The wheat crop
in Michigan and Indiana have come in annually fine,
and there will be no want of bread stuffs this season.

New YOHIL.-0a Thursday night a storm of rein and
wind raged fearfully over this city. It commenced at sun-
set, and increased in violence till it reached its climax at sun-
rise, when it gradually moderated. The rain never ceased to
demigod in torrents, and the wind, which blew from the
out, howled all night lone, prostrating the trees, young and
old, end carrying sway flying signs, awnings, and even the
iron awning poets, which were mapped like reeds, in Broad-
way and other streets exposed to the fury of the tempest.
Washington Parade-ground presented yesterday morning a
scene of desolation, most of the trees being prostrated.
Tompkins-square suffered pinny, and the Park was strewed
all over with branches, and two or three of the large trees
were blown down : one, right opposite the City Hall, having
the notice upon it, " Huy off the man," hadtke main branch
tan away. St. John's square, tinion.equare, and the Bat-
tery were shorn of some of their choicest beauties • amid
these grounds, and every street in the city that oociained

rally exhibited the appearance of the ravages of "en angel
of death In the blast.' Many persons who happened to be
from their houses at 11 o'clock on Thursday night were de-
tained till morning, vainly waiting for the abating of the
storm and the restoration of light. The lamps were ell oat,
being one of those nights that the Almanac advertised the
moon was shining, but horribly lied, the darkness being so
great that a person could not see three inches before him,
while slates and bricks were flying in all directions. The
consequence was that most of those absent from their real.
dents preferred remaining away from their families, at least
till dayligi.t, rather than encounter "the pelting of the pill.
less storm." Several of those who ventured out went astray,
and often pillaged into water up to their knees. The gutters
IMO overflowed, and the streets were in a sea. The vacant
lots became so many pond.. Several houses have bun
unroofed, and skylights blown away. The tin roofs of two
houses in Third-avenue were rolled up like a smell, 'and
blown to a distance. One of the walls of a new brick three
story building in Fourth-avenue, near Thirty•fint-street,
was prostrated; also a stable in the same avenue at the
corner of Seventeenth-street. Two oe three half finished
brick buildings were thrown down in Second-avenue, near
Terenty.eiteht•street, sad another opposite the Harlem Rail-
road eaglet house in Thirty...coed sweet.

Thursday and Friday:-

Even a fire, which could not be endured on Thursday, wu
found; very comfortable in office. and sitting rooms yester-
day. There wee very little bunting done in the city. In the
evening the wind considerably subsided, and the sun shone
out, fora short time, through the gloom, to cheer the world
with his beams. The damage done to the crops and fruit
trees, and other garden. in this vicinity, is very great, and
we fear we shall heir sad intelligence of devastations front
the country. There has been no storm like this, in the
mouth of July, for half a century. It ippon to have
commenced at Baltimore on the 17th, reeeLieg Philadelphia
at noon, and New York at nightfall on the 18th. All our
great storms travel in the same direction.
The shipping was considerably damaged at the
wharves in the But and North rivers. Accounts of
serious disasters at sea were anticipated. Several
lives were loot.

One cc two steamers were wrecked, and most of
the outward-bound ships that were at anchor in the
harbour were driven on shore; among others, the
Constellation packet-ship. The Guy Menneriog went
on shore outside the Hook. A British ship and
several other mesh; were reported ashore on the east
side of Long Island.
The hurricane extended to Philadelphia, Albany,
Newark, Williamsburg, and many other cities. Oreat
injuries were reported to have been sustained by the
crops. The corn generally was prostrated ; oats, rye,
and wheat, much injured; the fruit trees were stripped,
and the papers agree that a storm of such violence had
not been experienced in New York fur half a century.

THE NIAGARA, Captain Stone, sailed from Liver-
pool on Saturday for Halifax and New York.
