 MT. Webster-The Charleston Mercury says" A writer in the New York Times criticising upon the reception of the Massa- chusetts Senator there, asks Who IS MT. Webster 2" and seems really puzzled TOT a solution of his most pithy interrogatory. No doubt he has been looking for him on the lev el of New York politicians if he will raise his eyes very considerably" he will see the object of his search"
 Specie.-We learn from a gentleman from Indiana, that one of the branches of the State Bank of that state, of only $20O,OO0 capital had, the latter part of March, when our in fornant left, rising of seren hundred thousand dollars in specie in itS vGults, mostly govern ment money. So large an amount of specie is not wanted there, but it would be of great service here, while the pressure for money continues.-N. Y. Com. Adr.

 Murder n,ost Foul To-day, John George, the West Village, in Hopkinton, upon the body of MT. Israel H. Russel, aged 29 years, son of a worthy Revolutionary soldier of the town of Hillsborough, who was murdered, as appeared on evidence before the Coroner's Jury by MT. John s. Titcomb, agd 9, for merly of NeWburyport, Mass. Russell and Titcomb were both single men, had labored together atthe coopering business, and board- ed together near the shop in which they worked. Yesterday, about half-past ten o. clock, A. M. a young man of their acqualnt- ance was in the shop, and found them dis cussing the question, 'whether people were predisposed to murder each other for mon- ey?" Dur ng a short discussion, Titcomb remarked, that people would sometimes con- init murder without any hope of gain. This time upon the young mans mind, and he withdrew, leaving Russell and Titcomb busy at their work.
 At eleven o'clock, MT. Wyman, the pro- prietor of the shop, was in and found them quietly at work. At l2 o'clock, Titcomb went to his boarding house, washed and sta- we'd himself, and seemed so much disconcert- ed as to lead the lady of the house to inquire what had happened, that he looked so pale, and appeared SD much agitated
 This so disconcerted him, that he returned immediately to the shop, from which he was soon called to dinner, and when he was ask cd why Russel had not come with him, he re- piled that he remained behind to finish sha- Iofn certain lot. He ate quickly, returned to the shop, set it on fire, and walked into the street. The fire was soon discovered, and the alarm given,-when the people assembled in great numbers,-Titcomb among the rest.
 The roof soon fell in, and the flames extn- guishcd, when the body of Russell was found burnt badly beneath the bench at the side of the shop, where it had been thrown by Tit comb, and covered with shavings and slaves to some depth. Both legs were broken above the knees, and both arms were broken above the elbows evidently showing that the mur- derer intended to put the body into barrel to conceal it. It was apparent also that Rus sell was killed by severe blows being inf1ict- ed on the head, while seated on the shave horse, without having made the least resist ance.
 Titcomb is now in jail, at Hopkinton, to await his trial next September. The reader is ready to ask, had Rum any thing to do with this horrid affair! Ajug of rum ,oas in the shor, of arhich Iitconb had drunken freely!! Russell for the last three months had aban- doned the use ofintoxicating liquor, and WIS a mild and inofensve man. No cause is known why this murder was committed.
 The distress in the money market continues 10 in- crease in severity Every arrival from New York ports additional failures and increased aarm Hous- es which have stood with unshaken and undoubted their operations and proclal i'm themselves bankrup- and all this under the extraordinary facts of abundance of all the comforts and necessares of fe vast amount of specie in the country greater than ever before, and government so loaded with wealth that serious political strife exists to its dispesa It is hoped these evils will terminate, but there is at present no indication that such will be the result There is alternative left but for businsss to which requires them to make brick without straw shall be repealedor in other words, until the government shall be pleased to restore to its proper position the immense amount of specie now locked up in the rier.
