Brooks, who acts as the editor of the Express"
and the correspondent Of the National lnt elgen-
GER" at one and the same time, undertakes, In a re-
epstolary to the latter paper to deny the state
ment that we made sometime ago, relative Ia the
subscrp tions made by the friends Of Mr.. Webster,

outfit to travel in Europe; coupling this denial with
these remarks on us-'a newspaper remarkable Tor
the over abundance of its news" there is not one
word Of truth in it''-"the only gifts TO Webster
were gold snuff box and suit Of Clothes, &c. SC.
A simple statement Of the facts will soon set this
matter az rest-and TO this statement call the at
fention Of the respectable editors of the Intelgen
cer" in order that may be heard in their columns
as well as Brooks.
IL is an absolute and inc fact that the
friends of Mr.. Webster in Wall street circulated a
subscription paper, in which a number of his admi-
rers put down their for certain sums, in order
to raise an amount sufficient TO liqudate certain
gagenents, and to enable him TO visit England in

was mootcd whether this subscription could be raised

GREAr SALE OF REAL EsrArE.--Tomorrow
Blsecker Co. will begin one Of the largest Gales Of
real estate which has been attempted since 1885, 1t
10 the property Of the late Henry Eckford, Esq, su-
ated in the vicinity Of 2lt street, and Of the 9th and
9Th avenussone of the finest localities in that part
ofthe Island. Already the city is nearly built out
to this property, and there cannot be doubt but it
must soon become in request for building lots OF no
ordinary value. The old family residence of Mr..
Eckford is still there's beautiful house, surrounded
with fine garden and shrubbery.
This property affords an opportunity for invest
nent seldom met with by that class Of small capital
lists, who seek for property which viii, by the natu'
raj growth Of the city, at least double its value in
few years The example Of our most wealthy citi-
zens, is evidence that great wealth is surely
acquired BY holding real estate in rising market,
than by specializing merely. New York must in
crease, and up town property must become far more
valuable than it now is, in spite of any temporary
difficulties which may appear in the markets. What
ever losses or revulsions overtake the commercial
world, real estate remains the same 1t is the only
sure investment for men Of small means. A chance
like the present should by means be neglected.
The particulars of the sale will be found in our ad
vertising columns.

to keep Wall street clean, under any circumstances;
but that Ann street should be allowed to remain dirty,
is surprising. 1t is the very centre Of morals and
refinement, and purity always abatng the grog-shops
and gambling houses, and little hells, inclxding the
big hell round the csrnerover Sandy Welsh's, which
is just open. However, these purify themselves;
and we must have Ann street kept clean.

We have additional details from Virginia today,
but nothing change the impressions we have already
iven our readers. No doubt exists Of the defeat OF
the whig party in virginia-and BY our present let
tiers from Richmond, we learn the astounding fact
for the first time that the election of Luther Bra
dish an absltonist by the wing party in New York,
has been one Of the most efficient instruments to
maintain the popularity Of Mr. Van Buren, in Virgil
MIA Among the most intelligent politicians, not sub
treasurers or holders it is confidently asserted
that the wing party throughout the whole Of the
southern states is completely disconnected by the
extraordinary success Of Bradish in New York On
this point the South act man-utterly regard
less of any Of the accusations brought against the
administration Of Mr.. Van Buren,. They care no.
thing for the abstraction of the public undsbut the
advancement Of any party that advocate the princ-
pies Of the Bradish clique of abotionists is what
fills them with alarm and establishment This is one
of the real of the defeat Of the wings in Vir-
ginia. '
In connection with this matter, we learn also that
the subject OF abolition has been brought up at the
General Assembly of the New School Presbyter-
ans now sitting in Philadelphia Alvan Stewart, OF
Utica, delivered, on Monday morning of this week.
the most mpassioned and infammatory speech in
favor ofimmediate abolition that was heard in
delIberatlve assembly processing 10 DC rehS'ous'-
We have received from friend who heard it, am
pie notes Of this eervescence, and will refer to it
again. On the same occasion Lewis Tappan was
very busy in his old system of agtaton-and partc-
nlarly in his appeal from the Presbytery on account
Of his recent suspension-not by the neck II was
intended by some of the New School party to blend
the Of abolition with Presbyterianism in the
General Assembly-but the advice of old tacti-
clans, the Rev. Dr. Cox in particular, the whole sub
ject was referred back TO the several Presbyteres
for general and separate agitation in each of those
districts. Ii seems, from all accounts, that the new
organization Of the British Anti-Slavery Society
in London, has already made itself felt this side
Of the Atlantic.
Taking all these movements In one view, we see
the elements Of eternal discord again in melton.
Under the of liberty, of politics. of morals, of
religion ITSELF most alarming organization has been
formed having its centre in this city, and extending
from London the remote west, for the purpose OF
disturbing the domestic relations Of the southin-
vadng their family firesides- and fomentng spirit
that causes alarm than any other event of the
day. We must probe this matter to the bottom.

even by way of a loan, of $4,000 or thereabouts,

an act that reflects credit the human race-and
