Notes and lllustrations.-By Jared SPARKS.
We should justly be deemed dead to eve
ry generous, every ennobling feeling, had we
failed to have rcjoiced over the appearance of
this solitary volume, the harbinger Of others
that are 10 conc. that will give US an ample
and q correct insight into the character of a
great man to whom one half of the world is
so much indebted, and whose memory the
other half so cordially hates. We have hlth-
erto reirained from speaking of this public
spirited undertaking, from the slight feeling
of the gaucherie of noticing second volume
of projected work before the first has made
its appearance but as We have now waited
months, and it has not reached our library Ia
bic, we shall hesitate no longer, but give our
opinion Of what we have got, and trust to
time for the remainder. OF the volumes that
are promised to the public, we should think
that this must be, of mere necessity, the most
dull, as it consists principally Of official des-
patches, and pieces of history viewed in the
detail, and therefore unsatis!actorily,-whe
compared to a general survey of the whole
subject. The private letters are interesting
and prccious,-and shew the lirmness,-the
strength Of character, and the single. hearted
ness of the great champion Of liberty. WASH
ington, is perhaps, the only honest conquer
or and founder Of an empire that ever exist
ed. His love Of glory in the love of his coun-
,ry,--philanthropy greater far than his ambi-
ton, and even his talents. The whole of the
appendix attached to this volume affords ex-
cclent matter for the future historian. His
diary is most amusing, and equally instruc-
tive. We here see Cncinnatus and his
plough exqulstely modernzed.

TEMPERANCE JUBILEE.

This great day Of simultaneous meetings
all over the world, for the promotion of Tenn
perance, was opened for the city of New
York, this morning at 10 o'clock, by the An
nversary of the "Temperancc Society ofthe
College Of Physicians and Surgeons OF New
York." in the College Hall, in Barclay street.
II was very numcrously attended, not only by
the Professors and the large class Of young
men who are in attendance at the lectures,
but by number of the profession in the city.
A number of resolutions were successive
lly presented, and advocated with appropriate
and interesting addresses, by Professors Jo-
seph M. Smith, Torrey, Rogers, Stevens,
Beck, and DR.. Ives, Of this city. The extern
sive mschiefs resulting from the medical use
of ardent spirits, the duties and responsible
ties of the medical profession, with the temp
tations to which the physcian is exposed, ns
exhibited in the melancholy fate Of too many
members and teachers of the profession, to-
gether with the obligation on every medical
man to aid the great cause Of Temperance,
were ably and judiciously dwet upon by the
several speakers, and an appropriate tribute
those members of the profession who have
aided in the formation of Temperance Socie-
ties, and otherwise promoted the cause.
In so important an Institution, as is our
Medical College, it must be regarded as most
honorable to all concerned, that Professors
and Students thus unite in cause so inter-
estng to the public health and the public
morals.
We have seen our Professors in their sew
eral chairs, intoxicating the principles of Med
ical Science-wc have looked upon them
when engaged in comforting degrees on their
deserving pupils-but we never saw them be-
fore in so digntied, honorable, and useful po-
sitions, as when standing upon the College
floor, mingling with the class, and affection
ately urging upon them the claims und obli-
cations of the Temperance Reformation
Such u scene will go far to convince the pa
rents and friends of the student Of medicine
who annually resort here for medical educa-
ton, that their teachers are not unnindful or
indifferent, in relation to the health, morals,
and happiness of their pupils.

Marvin Marcy, jun, who was convicted as
one of the Charlcstown Convent incendiarics,
has been sentenced to three days solitary
confinement and imprisonment for life in the
Massachusetts State Prison. He was so
strongly affected by his situation, that he was
found insensible on the ilocr ofhis prison,nnd
it was supposed he had taken poison. The
physician, however, reported that he would
probably recover in few days.
On Thursday forenoon, were presented to
the Governor and Council, two petitions from
Boston for the pardon Of Marcy. One was
put into the hands of Lieut.. Gov. Armstrong,
containing 1873 names. Another was also
presented at II O'Clock, headed by Bishop
Fcnwick, containing GS2l names, which
were attached to it since II o'clock, of the
previous day. A letter of the Lady Super
ior in behalf Of her sisters, was presented,
praying most earnestly for the pardon of Mar
vim Marcy. Also, petitions from Worcester,
Cambridge, Mcdford, and several other towns
for the same purpose. Also, several affida-
Wits stating very nearly the circumstances of
the case and an argument in favor Of grant

SENATOR PoINDExrER.-By referring
to our Congressional summary it will be
noticed with great satisfaction that the
Select Committee TO whom Mr.. Poin-
dexter's letter was referred, have, after
a thorough and nrduous investigation,
made their Report, placing that honora-
bic gentleman beyond even the shadow
Of suspicion in relation 10 the infamous
charges adduced against him. "The
Report, says Washington letter writer,
was received by a simultaneous burst of
applause from the galleries, when Mr.
Poindexter resumed his seat" We
have no doubt it will be received with
similar feelings by every friend to JUS
tice throughout our country. Various
accounts have been published in regard
to the evidence before the committee,
impeaching the credibility of the depo-
nents, &c. SC. which we shall not pub
lish at present, rather waiting the Re
port itself for q full statement Of all the
facts. In the mean time, however, we
copy the following paragraph from the
Washington correspondent Of the N. Y.
Courier s. Enquirer:
"To the honor Of some Of the most vi
olent Jacksonmen, this procedure of the
Van Buren, party is spoken Of and allud-
ed to in terms of adherence. When
the report and testimony is presented to
the American people, l predict that
there will not be one honest or honora-
BILE man in the United States, of any
party, who dare hazard his reputation by
attempting to justify in the face Of the
community, the outrage which has been
attempted upon the character of Gov.
Poindexter.

The following is the substance of the hiIi-

published in the Washington Globe:
David Stewart makes oath that about the
last of December or ist of January, he saw
Lawrence 20 into Poindcxter's house and
the Tuesday before the attempt at assassina-
ton, he saw Pondexter and Lawrence in
conversation in the passage of the Senator's
house. Mordecai Foy, swears that from his
shop opposite, he has seen Lawrence go into
Mr.. Poindexter's house and return at differ
ent times and particularly on the Tuesday
preceding the assault Oh the President, he
did see Lawrence go in and return.
