Mr.. WEBSTER AND ROBERT TyLER.-John Jones
OF the Madisonian, on the authority OF Mr. Robert
Tyler, contradicts statement relative to Mr. WEB
ster which appeared in our journal of last week, as
| follows -
THr NEW YoRK HrRALp.-we authorised to con-
trsdct strongest terms the eclaration made by
the editor eff the Herald that Mr. Robert Tyler has writ
ten letter TO Alderman Towe, in which he expresses
qualification that 1--WE have gotten id Webster last "
NO one has more unegned respect for the great talents
and eminent services OF Mr. Webster than the Of the
President; and the Secretary Of State retres from the
CABINET no one will regret the essity of his official
paraton from the Government than this gentleman
Notwithstanding this denial, we re assert the sub
stantial accuracy of the statement. Perhaps the
exact words may not have been used by Robert Ty-
Ter, but that he stated the fact of Mr. Webster's
withdrawal is positive. Indeed? the very terms of
the denial admits the general accuracy of the state
ment. John says if the Secretary retiresfrom the
cabinet no one regrets the necessity of his official
separation more than Mr.. Robert Tyler" What
necessity % What NECESSITY" was there for
| separation?
The necessity" exists in the belief entertained
| by Captain Tyler that Mr.. Webster's continuance
In the cabinet an obstacle between him and the
democratic" This curious idea had been i'm
pressed upon the President and his son, by the Of
fce seekers here and elsewhere for the last year
Major Hopkins, Major Noah, and whole lots of de-
| mocrats, have been preaching up the idea. We
know that Capt. Tyler did not want Mr. Webster
to remain SO one-but the difficulty was to get him
out IN some decent way. Hence, when Mr.. Web
ster made up his mind to retire, Captain Bob writes
letters announcing the fact exultingly but coupled
with regrets for the necessity" Yet we do not
conceive 1t to be matter Of much importance either
way -but 1t may be well to understand the facts
as not We are afraid, however, that the sequel
will show that the separation of Mr.. Webster from
the Cabinet will not unite Captain Tyler and the de-
m1sracy very lovingly together. Yet there is no
harm in trying-and if he be deceived, it will not
be the first time the amiable, believing Captain has
been most egregiously duped by those who call
themselves his friends par excellence.
One word Of advice before we part. If Captain
Tyler and his friends, Bob included, would confine
their attention to the great interests Of the country
to foreign negotiations-to public affairs-and to
pay less heed to these silly coquettnss after the de-
mocracie"-or attempt to get nomination by any
convention, he would do himself much more honor
in the end-and have his claims more cordially
examlnedby the country. These weak and vascil-
lang efforts to create party, or to catch the de-
mocracy, by establishing newspaper organs on for
ced contributions, or using the patronage of the 60
vernment to that effect, will end most disastrously
for his reputation and his popularity. Take care
time is yet.
WEBB's BsNNErr TRADE.-The Amazone bonnet
trade so vigorously plunged into recently by Mr..
Webb, begins to make great noise in the world
almost as much his duel. We find the following
curious passages respecting this trade in our cotem
porarles round about the country

They are SO beautifully made up that they equal the

In all this there is some truth mixed with error
The Amazone bonnet, SO warmly patronized by
Webb, is only the common Manila bonnet, manu-.
featured of Manila hemp, or grass. They are not
made Of American hemp. John Burton, 92A Bowery,
sells them from So or So 80 to 81 or IS, and has
been doing good business. Webb lit appears, en-
tered into the speculation-called them Amazone
bonnets-puted them outrageously-c charges So for
them, and announced that he would buy all the
cheap ones at the Office of the " Courier & Enqui-
rer." It was very funny thing all through To
see Webb, on his last legs, trying to get up cor
ner' in the bonnet trade, as he once did in Morris
Canal stock, is of the most ludicrous things Of
the day. The best joke is the attempt to pass them
off for something superlative upon the fashionable
world, under the name of "Amazones" Ha ha
ha!
