'. Dshi<i JVttssr Tlrs Following lively JsH d'esprit we extract from the columns of the New-York Cour- er It bears the marks of Noahs lively fancy and is an evidence of the truth that even faction itself is sometimes compelled to bow the supremacy of ,a- ent and virtue. Mr. Webster was employed by the State of New-York to attend to the great Astor cases-and on his way from Washington to Boston, stopped several days in New-York.
 The Lions of Lhs East.--The Executive Grand the Workses-and all the other rages of inc day-are in measure, forgot in the presence of the great Lions of the East, who are shaking their names in this devoted city. Daniel Webster and Edward Everettthe one in ticO-fashionable and the otl CT in literary cOteries, are ali theg go.
 "On Saturday the United States Court was crowd ed with curious people, catching look of the singu- lar head of the Webster. "My heasens!" says one man, "what dark eye he has got!"-"What queer forehead" said another. People meet people inqurings "h have you seen Mir. Webster r "yes haSe'-'"pray do tell me how he looks I" " why he looks like great lawyer''-" you don't say so 2" "pray have you talked with Mir. Webster 9''-"y yes haye"-" heavens! what did he say ?''-" why, I ask ed him how he di!? and he said, very well thank you"-" good gracious! how odd "' " He actually said, very well thank you'-" he did, what will you bet he didnt?'' "oh, don't bet, but how srange!'' "What singular shoulders Mir. Webster has," says another" why, why! did you not mark how broad'' -" not half so curious his hands," said another, saw him take his hand of his pocket, he bent his thumb, united packet of papers, and then''- "And then what did he do P asked half dozen starers-" why then he began to read to the jury" My stars! what strange people these Yankeesare ' "But his voice is the most singular voice heard iii deep toned, ful sonorous, harsh, earfal ry thing-he is q most wonderful man."
 "The Circuit Court opens to day at 10 o'cIock.- There will he great rush for seats and standing Mr. Webster wlil most probably speak to-day. We learn that several fair fashionable leaders of the 6eaM monde are very anxious to hear him speak. " What vulgar, l-bred place that City Hall is!'' say they. "These courts. and judges and jurors have man ners-they have place for the ladies to hear the great Webster'" Oh!" said another beautiful crea- ture, at Judge Prescos trial in Boston, the polite gentlemen there fitted up place in the gallery where all the ladies went and enrapured with his elo- quence-but in this New-York you are all working men, and have manners.' This is not far from the truth as regards tl,e City HaL There is plenty ot law in that region, but little of any thing ese.''
