II seems that We made some errors yesterday, in
enk sfatansat FesPseeimg he posfisn u he Lispe
nard property now before the Courts. We are in
formed by General Sanford, the ce~asel il the
case, witt those errors are; andssecor6ingly give
The annexed statement the view Of tbe case on
the side Of Colonel Webs
The whole interest Of Alice Lispens I'd in that Part
Of the Lspenard estate which remained unsold upon
the death of her father, Sixteenth OF which
Major Nicholson's wife, if ultimately successful,
would be entitled to one eighth, hundred and
twenty eighth part OF the property which was nm
sold at the death Of Anthony Lispenard.
The decision of the Surrogate has been appealed
FROM and the noticed for hearing before the
Chancellor, at the next term in this city.
Only one third Of this estate fell to Mr.. Stewart
and even If the present attempt to set aside the will
OF Alice Lispenard, and the subsequent suits 10 set
aside her conveyances, should succeed, the children
OF Mr.. A. l.. Stewart would be entitled to six
elglths OF the amount to be recovered which would
exceed any loss upon that part Of the which
belonged to their fathers and the purchasers Of other
parts OF the estate, who have paid full value for
their property, would be the losers.
But evena decision against the Will in contro
versy would not establish the claims of Mrs Nj
cholson to this one hundred and Of the
estate OF Anthony Lispenard, but would merely
owners.
These are the corrections, according to advice of
counsel. Ofcourse it reduces the amount pending
that may go to Mrs. Nicholson, and increases the
value of the prospects Of Col. Webb. Probably the
whole value involved in land may be, according to
this view, only about 100000 This divided by
six, gives only Of Sl66O0, that, in any event.
may be deducted from the Cslonel's prospect. No
matter whether the banks suspend not, my friend
Webb will be provided for-and am very glad Of
it, for without such prospect he could pro-
videfo himself. He is helpless a lazy tiger
a pine barren. For his own unaided efforts to get
through the world would not give him sixpence
per day. Political economists call men machines,
with so much income per annum. The first cost Of
raising stout Irshman large, not small potatoes
is calculated to be $l0O0-and the revenue in such
an article is estimated at $3.50 per annum. BY SCI
entifc data the first cost Of raising such beautiful
physical plant as the Colonel would probably be
100000 calculating every thing, including wines,
segars, hounds, horses, and the debt 10 the U. s.
Bank; but available security, he would hardly
yield in hard labor, revenue of $50 per annum.-
In fact he is not so good to raise the wind Upon in
Wall street as Stonington stock Morris Canal
but legatee, the Col. may be worth $3.50 900 in
houses, lands, tenements and hereditame nts-yet
twenty years hence, if both live so long I'll bet
I'll be the richer man Of the two.
PREcEPT AND PRAeTIcE The Rev. David Hale
is one Of the most rigid moralists of the ase-and
the Journal Of Commerce is also the most decent,
moral and respectable paper Of the present century;
the abolitonists and fanatics says adding by way
of postscript that the Herald is the most ndece
immoral paper ever published since the devil clam
bered ever the wall of Paradise, or broke through
the hedges Of the garden of Eden in the form of fash
ionable young man and kissed Eve, while Adam was
