Mr.. WEBsrER's SPEECHEs-Messrs.
Perkins, Marvin, SCo. have just publish
ed a new and elegant edition of Mr..
Webster's Speeches and public address
ses, comprising his most celebrated ef-
forts at the BARN Congress, and on
special occasions. The former edition
was in one volume, and the present is in
two volumes, occupying one thousand
pages octave, and including some Of his
most recent speeches. These eloquent
productions have all been before publish
ed, read, and admired throug hout the
country; and they will continue to be
read and admired down to the latest ge-
nerations. They are finished models of
the eloquonce of the Bar, OF the Senate
and the Forum, and would not suffer in
comparison with the most admired ora
tions of ancient or modern times. They
may be read for instruction by the states
man, and with pleasure by the scholar
and man Of taste, while the student in
Rhetoric will find in them perfect models
of their kind, and never failing fountains
for improvement in what the ancients
called the DIVINE ART. They combine
the fervd strength Of Demosthencs, with
the classical elegance of Cicero and
while they expound our Constitution and
illustrate our free institutions, they will
tend to elevate the standard-of native ta-
lent in the estimation of foreigners. No
American can read these volumes with
out feeling just pride in being able to
call DANIEL WEBSTER his fellow citizen.
They deserve place in every library,
both private and public.

FIRMNESS AND INTEGRITY.

In advertng in orr last to tho sanguine cx-
pcctations entertained by the Jackson men
OF the effect of tho loss Of tho Fortifcation
Bill in increasing their vote in this town, we
omitted to mention one fact which deserves
to be recorded to the honor Of the intelligent
and Industrious class Of men, Of which we
have pride in stating it. If any occupation
in tho community is directly and severely af-
fccted by the loss Of that bill, in the daily de-
mand of the supplies from which they gnin
their livelihood. 1t is that Of the BUrcuEns.
No means, it may readily be supposed, were
left uninterrupted to assail the integrity and
mislead the judgment of these respectable
citizens; but to their praise be it spoken, of
the fifteen froemen following that occupation
in this place. ere,y one recorded his rote IN la-

GTIn yesterdays tory paper we observe
a communication signed by HENRY BULL, of
this town, which charges B. HAnAnp, ESQ.
with being the author of tho publication in
our last. o,tributing 70 Major B. certain ex-
prcssions in relation TO Gen. Jackson md the
u. 8. Senate, which il is unnecessary to ro,
state here. 1t charges that gentleman also
with misstating facts, and substituting his
own version for Major Bulls language. As
Mr.. Hazard is now out Of town, attending the
Court in Narragansett, we think it no more
than proper to say, that he is NOT the author
of that article, nor were the facts contained
in it derived solely from Mr.. II. The autho,
of the article, however, is reody at any time
to furnish his name to Major Bull when pro-
pcrly called for, and the names also Of the
persons, who can attest to the Identical Ian
guage used by tho Major as charged in this
paper.

stone and she foundered at her anchors
The crew were saved by that of schooner

FIRE.--The Fall River Monitor in
forms us that the Dry House of Mr.. An
drew Robcson, at Fall River, wns set on
fire on Thursday last by the accidental
dropping of piece of cloth on one of
the flues, which caused the cloth imme-
diateIy to take fire, and which was com
municated from that to the other pieces
in the room. Owing to the rooms being
plastered entirely up to the peak, but
little damage was done to the building
before the fire WINS cxtinguished. The
damage to the goods was very consider
oble-probabIy from $500 to $1,000

RAIL Roam AccnEHT.-Anothera accident
occurred on the Amboy Rail Road, on Fri.
day, last week, when the train was a few
miles this side Of Bordertown. The baggage
car caught fire, and part OF the baggage, val
ued at 5000, was destroyed. There were
nearly POO passengers, most of whom lost
their baggage, by its being burnt or injured.
AS soon as the fire was discovered. the bag
gage car was thrown off the track, and at
tempts were made to cxtinguish it, but with
out success. One gentleman, having 1000
in his trunk, in bills, succeeded in pulling it
out Among the passengers who were the
greatest sufferers were Mrs. R, Of Bos-
ton, and Mrs. Austin, of the Theatre. The
former lost large quantity OF valuable
clothing, worth fifteen hundred dollars, but
fortunately saved her diamonds and other
jewelry. The burning Of the above baggage
was caused by the ignition Of large quaint
ty of lucifer matches which were in some
case or trunk, which must have been ignicd
by friction. A bushel of them was found On.
der the car, after the fire.

LEATnER.-The tanning of Leather, and
the manufacture of articles in which it il
principally used, are among the most impor-
tant in this country ranking third, if not
second in point of Importance. Mr.. Pitkin,
in his statistics of the United States" lust
published, says :--"The quantity of sole
leather consumed in the United States is es-
tiInatcd at % millions Of pounds, (which, at
20 cents per pound, is SG,4G0,OOO.) The to-
tai annual value of the manufacture of this
article in the United States, must in some
measure, be conjectured. II is believed that
1t cannot be less than from 40 to As millions
OF dollars. This estimate cannot be deemed
too high, when it is considered, that the val
ne ol boots and shoes alone for ii millions of
people, must be from % to $4,000, 600 dollars
year, allowing to each person for boots and
shoes from to 9 l-2 dollars YEAR"

sivo of their regret at the departure OF
Mr.. Barry, and their gratitude for his
kind and gcntlemanlike department to-
wards them, sc. Ut is well understood
that Mr.. Kendall will Immediately sue

Mr.. Pickett, now superintendent Of

LAUNcH.--The United States Gazette no.
tees the launch at Newcastle Del, on
Thursday last, Of beautiful schooner named
the Kirkwood and says-"Ths vessel has
been built by Messrs. William Robinson g.
Son, Of New Castle. on plan entirely new
in the art of ship-buildng. The Kirkwood
is constructed without timbers and il held
together with iron hoops let into her planks.
The novelty Of the design and the beauty of
her model, reflect great credit upon the skill
and ingenuity Of her builders. She will car
ry much HEAVIER cargoes in proportion to her
tonnage, than vessels of the same tonnage
constructed in the ordinary way, and we be-
lleve she will not be inferior to them as to
durability and safety on the water"

cinnati, aud was observed to pass off in
south easterIy direction. Nothing
mole was seen or heard Of him for II
number Of days, and great anxiety was

18th, nine days after his departure, ho
returned to Cincinnati, having made the
most extraordinary BrOnautic excursion
on record. lie did not indeed ascend 40
high as number have done before
him; but the distance he sailed is beyond
ali precedent .heing not less than Three
Hundred and Fifty miles. All this was
accomplished in g hours, which is at
the rate OF nearly 81 miles an hour. The
greatest height to which he asccnded
was about2 % miles. A description of
his voyage is published at length in the
Cincinnati Gazette, occupying nearly
two columns. The spot where he landed
is the top Of the mountain, called Steven

PUrLIc IMpRovEMENTs.-During the
presen summer, we expect to see great
stride made in the local advantages and
improvements of our city. In the first
place, the three Rail Roads will be in
successful operation. That to Lowell
will be ready for travelling in less than
month-that to Providence will be
opened in June-and that to Worcester
IN July. When these arrangements are
effected, an experimental traveller may
breakfast in Lowell, dine in Worcester,
and sup in Providence.
A splendid calculation with view to
public convenience and Improvement,
has been undertaken by three gentle
men, who have purchased the extensive
estate Of the late Gardiner Greene, and
William Boardman, Esq's., and intend to
continue an avenue from Court-street
into Somerset, and perhaps, if it can be
done, to Mount Vernon street, which in
that case, would make n continuous line

Hall. The heights of Mr.. Greene's

INDIA RUBBER BoAT.-We have had
the pleasure Of examining this ingenious
production, soon after its return from a
most fortunate troming expedition to
Martha's Vineyard. The boat was in
vented by Mr.. Caleb Williams, Jr. Of this
city, and was manufactured at the India
Rubber Factory on Eddy's Point 1t is
constructed very much upon the plan of
Burdens steamboat, with two inflated
cylinders Of India Rubber cloth, con-
nected upon the top by five or six beams
Of light portable plank which supports a
deck of boards, which may be procured
at almost any place where the boat is to
be used The whole apparatus Weighs
about 20 pounds. The cylinders may
both he inflated in from five to ten min
utes, aud when the air is discharged,
may DO folded into valise. The rest
Of the apparatus may be conveniently
carried IN the bottom of Wagon or
chaisc. In addition to the whole is n
seat, upon which the angler may sit and
hold his dominion over the finny race
This boat viii sustain at least one toms
weight, and Of course, by cnlarging the
deck, would accommodate quite party
The elasticity Of the cylinders has been
proved to be n protection against their
being punctured by snags and rocks
We understand the ingenious coniriyer
has applied FOR patent for his invcn-
tiop.
