the plaintiffs. The defendants. and about 60 or 70 others, were in the, employment of the plaintiffs. and had strike in July, l833.- The great point in the case was, whether the peaceably conspiring or agreeing among the wOrkmen to refuse to work for less than a named sun, constituted ground of civil ac tion on the part of the employers. On this point the Court charged the Jury in the nrga tive. The case was much labored and con- sumed week in trying it. Verdict for the defendants"
 From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
 Mr.. We6ster.-We notice in the Albany Argus series of questions and answers, in which. with pro0igacy that is hecoming al- together too common among us, an attemptis
 made to excite prejudice against Mr.Webster, by string of assertions entirety destitute of foundation. The first Ofthese interrogatories l is this :-" Who, in his speeches at Fanuei ] Hall, Boston, during the late war, discourag- ed enlisting into the American army. and ad. I yised the Boston capitalists not to lend their
 money to the Government to defend the coun-
 try ," and the reply is Daniel Webster."- A second is, "Who cOunsefled the Boston ! merchants, at that time, to carry on a neutral trade with the British at Eastport ?" Ans. Daniel Webster" Now, in reference to 1 these assertions, it needs only to be said, that
 Mr. Webster, at the beginning ofthc late war, resided in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
 whence he was about that time elected rep resentatiye in the Congress of the United States, at the age of about 30. and that he did not become a resident in Boston until that
 war wAs brought to close so that the asser- tions relative to his speeches in Fanueil Hall, and his counsel to the Boston merchants, ,have their origin only in the Imagination of the wfitrr. Again. 1t is asked. r. Who advocated the passage Of the resolution in the Senate of Massachusetts, that it was unbecominga nor- al and religious people 10 rejoice at victories obtained over the British arms? ?" Mr. Wel,- ster was never a member nf tlsc Massachu- setts Senate. ns ef any other than the Senate of rne United States, and was not even an in- habitant of Massachusetts until after the war
 was over. There is not the slightest particle of foundation for the assertion that he ever. in any mode, advocated that resolution. The above will serve tO exhibit specimen of the manner in which public men are too apt to he assailed by those, who have no other ambi- ton than to serve their party, without the least scrupIe in regard to the means. The sane veracious inquirer asks, "Who put a glorious period to the last war. by a splendid victory over the British army at New Or
 
 The war must then have had one period too many; inasmuch as the treaty of peace was negotiated before the battle of New Orleans was fought.
 V yow have an idea on amy subject. put it d0wn-disburden your mind from it, and not wait till you get another before the first is com mitted to paper. Another will be very sure to follow it; if not instantly, e-entuaIly-as you have made sure of the first, you are req dy to secure the second. A good thought is l certainly as valuable as tom cod-and fyou were bobbing for frost fish with gang oflines, would you not pull at the first bite. instead of waiting in hopes of catching a whole shoal?
 An editor ought to be as poetcal and par slrnonious as an angler. and hook every idea that bites. We have hooked several in this l short paragraph; whereas we only baiied our pen with drop ofink for one. not oft val ue Of tom cod, and hardly worth minnow.

 A young and very handsome girl, belong ng to Oue of the most respectable families inr he state, WAS on Sunday morning last taken rom the steps of house in Mott street to the Duane street hospital, far advanced in chTe- "a, and died before niGhtfal,. Whilst under he charge of the physicians at the hospital, 'he informed them of the circumstances which had led to her dreadful downfall and subse- quent death. She had for a length of time been assiduously courted by an insidious and accomplished young man of good standing, who on Saturday evening last, succeeded, af- ter much persuasion, in enticing her tO the house from which she was removed tO the hospital. About s o'clock on Sunday morn- ing, she was attacked very seriously with all the symptoms of cholera. The heartless vii- lain who had deceived her, and had almost forced her intn the jaws of destruction and death, deserted her to her fate as soon as the symptoms of the disease made their appear ance, and Jeff her to the tender mercies Of the beldame who kept the gate of perditiOn which the victim lay within; but who. immediately on hearing of the fact. turned the poor crea- lure into the street t0 die. She was taken up rom the pavement by some persons who ac e'dentally witnessed her cruel eiectment, and carried by them to the hospital. During the 'le~ hours she lay there. she necessarily wept
