MORE TROUBLE AMONG THE FANcY-WEBB AND
MARSHALL INDICTED IN DELAwARE.-We received
intelligence Yesterday morning OF the indictment of
the Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, and also that of
James Watson Webb, by Grand Jury in the
State OF Delaware, on account of that duel fought
there last summer
There will be no ordinary mode of getting out of
thlslndlctment thatwe can see by petition or other
wise. The Governor OF Delaware will demand the
delivery OF both the gentlemen-one from the Co
vernon OF Kentucky, the other from the Governor
OF New York. What will Governor Seward say in
reply 10 such demand This will be a curious
point-but not all. The Hon. L. F. Marshsl is
member OF the present Congress, and will be in
washington. The course for the Governor of De-
laware to pursue, Is, to demand the person of Mar
shall OF the President of the United States The pr
vilege of parliament do not cover criminal arrests
only civil. What, then, will Captain Tyler do! Will
he deliver up Marshall and will both Webb and he
be tried In httle Delaware, in the same boxl
This case begins TO present very curious features
The great trial between the laws and the usages of
bad society, will be brought up once again We doubt
whether we can do much for Webb in this business
BY great effort knocked down seven of the
ten pins that procured his last pardon, but we can
have little influence with Governor of State. the
whole breadth of which you can walk over before
breakfast, and whose salary is about $500 per an
mum, and fat sheep for Christmas. Besides, Webb
refused very savagey our present of wine and Sc
gars, besides treating very unhandsomely the ia
nous segar keeper, Henrques, 81 William street,
and insulting box of 100 of the very best segars by
threatening TO kick them into the street instead of
smoking them Yet even orr bowel- Of comma NJ,
are melting for tbs poor Colonel. If Webb will
apologize like reinstaed gentleman for that con-
duct, and smoke one of these segars as the Indian
does the calumet, as emblem of peace, we'll 60 to
Delaware and settle his business quietly or throw
wet blanket over the length and breadth of that
State that will bury in thick fog till the day of
judgment come on the 23d of April ls43, according
to Prophet Miller. We must also help Tom Mar.

CoNrRADIcrED.-The Philadelphia United States
Gazette of yesterday, has the following
The Grand Jury of Delaware county yesterday
presented the Hon Thomas F. Marshall, for fight
ing duel Colonel Webb ESCAPED the like notice
by reason of his having occupied position on the
other side of the line of the State, during the fight
EXAMINATION INTO THE CASE OF BRIBINe HART
WITH THE $lOOO.-As the public feel deeplv inter
ested IN this matter we are requested to say, by
authority, that the committee on police, watch and
prisons, to whom the investigation of the whole sub
ject has been referred prosecuting the examina-
ton with great vigilance and rigor. Vutee has been
examined at length and we are assured that it is
perfectly astonishing with what intense eager
ness and pertnacy the prisoner Colt endeavored to
work upon his feelings, and induce him to accept
$500 which he rendered him in cash, merely to al
low HIM to leave his own cell and enter the adioin-
ing one, from which he had made arrangements
which would enable him to effect his escape Eight
or ten other witnesses have been examined and
among them Messrs Emmett and Selden, but not
Samuel Colt, as yet. No discovery nor clue has vet
been made of the person who conveyed the knife to
the suicide. And there can be but little doubt that
should the very individual himself who gave Colt
the knife be brought before the committee for exam
nation that he would perjure himself to avoid de-
lection, especially the law requires no man TO
crmnate himself. The High Sheriff, Mr. Hart ,Ihas
been summoned TO appear before the committee bur
he has lett the city for the west and will be absent
tor some days 1t is said that left on the day after
his communication enclosing the $1,000 was handed
in to the Board OF Aldermen, that is last Tuesday.
He was not present at the Board himself on Monday
evening" but sent in his letter by Mr. Westervelt We
presume he is not absent at this particular crisis to
avoid the Investigations now in progress. If Mr..
Hart would save his credit, he should take the ear
hest opportunity to make full and unreserved dis
closure of all he knows on the subject He should
tell the public who gave him that letter-where the
beginning OF 1t is-where the envelope is-why he
did not Immediately disclose the fact that he had
received the $1,000, and then take whatever time he
chose, IT II were six months, to make his DISPOSE
ton of it, We are informed that he did mention
the fact-when do not know-to Judge Inglis.
and to one of his deputies, Westervelt, probably.
On one point the public may rest assured, that John
c. Colt is dead, and that he died a suicide, as we
have already reported. The committee are pursu
ing the Investigations with the best of legal assis
lance, and we are assured it will be thorough, and
that the public will be in the end fully satisfied
PUBLIC DINNER DEcLNED.-The Hon. Levi
Woodbury. has declined to accept public dinner
recently offered him by several distingues of the
party in this city We sorry if the Senator had
no appetite-but the dinner ought not cool off
General Cass will soon be here, on his return from
France Let this distinguished man have the knife
and fork.
LECTURES AND LECTURERS OF all the unmitigated
trash that ever was inflicted upon community. as
Just punishment for its manifold transgressions are
the various lectures giving to the unfortunate
audiences every day in the week in the devoted
city OF New York. Not one of the lectures deliver
ed this season has been worth notice, excepting
the Introductory ones of DIR. Augustine Smith, on
Geology, and DIR. Nelson, on Physiology DR..
Smiths lecture was attempted to be reported in the
Tribune" but so badly that its bunders produced
a discussion among Dr. Smith, Professor Lewis and
hat pob h.
caused the devil to laugh.
These lectures ash-trasf-trash-
irredeemable trash.
EFFECTS OF THE GALE.-The gale on Wednesday
night was very severe. No mails arrived till late
