This exhibits some curious results. 1t was seen
few days ago that The number OF passengers ar
rived in Canada from abroad, has fallen of this
year on the same ratio, and this great decrease in
emigration has been caused manly by the repeal
movements in Ireland, leading the poor classes to
suppose that Paradise was opening at home,
thereby s,aving off the necessity of finding one in
this country.

Moral PRoGREss IN PEaNsYLvANlA-Th Lee
gislature of this highly moral, interesting, and
wealthy State, opens Its session this week. We
have made arrangements to procure information Of
the various movements made in this honorable
body, such may be OF public nature, for indeed
there is great expectation throughout the civilized
world that some action should be taken by this
Legislature in relation to the payment of their
debts due to foreign countries. From appearances,
however, we have very little to hope from the Le-
gislature of Pennsylvania convened in Harrisburg;
because, according to critical and chemical an
alysis of the elements of justice and morality, we
do think that the Eastern Penitentiary, in Phlla-
delphia were converted into a legislature, they
would exhibit higher degree of moral honesty in
their dealings than do the body designated by that
name which meet at Harrisburg. Indeed, the
highly respectable inmates in the Eastern Peniten-
tary, who occupy seats in that respectable nstitr-
tion have been compelled by necessity to avail
themselves of the property Of others, in small
amounts, and in small PARCELS but in doing this they
never deceived or told fasehoods If they stole,
they admitted they stole; if they plundered, they
admitted they plundered if they picked pockets,
they called it by its right name. But their highly
respectable rivals in the same line of business in
Harrisburg would plumber by thousands and mil
lions, and them after having had the benefit of the
monies Of the widows and orphans throughout the
civilized world, they pass resolutions that they owe
these amounts, say they have the money, and they
are rich and wealthy State, but they cannot
think of parting with it to pay their debts at pre-
sent.
We should like to know, upon comparing the
two institutions together-the Legislature of Penn
sylvana and the Eastern Penitentiary at Philade.-
phia-in which the principles of honesty and integ-
rity most preva7 We merely put this problem

HE VACANT JuDGEsHIP.--We have heard a
great many rumors in relation 10 this JudgeshiP,
and the candidates who are seeking the place i; but
we have heard one of a remarkable character,
which, may turn out to be as true as any-that Is,
the appointment of Daniel Webster to this vacant
seat upon the United States Supreme Court bench;
Mr. Webster spent few days here last week, sub
sequent TO the celebration of the New England
Festival, and Immediately thereafter proceeded TO
Washington where we understand he will remain
two months. II Is also said in some quarters, that
MIR. Webster, some of his friends for him. have
purchased the Weehawken House, upon the Jersey
shore, near Hoboken, and that he intends here
after TO make that beautiful place his permanent
residence If this be correctly stated, it would
seem to IMPLY that Mr.. Webster intends hereafter
TO make New York or its vicinity his residence,
whatever hts engagements in public life or in poll
tics may be and it would not surprise US at all, it,
looking upon the uncertainties of political and pro-
fesslonal affairs, OF which Mr. Webster has had
enough in the course of his life, he were to seek
and sigh Tor some permanent place of repose,
where there would be ample opportunity to EN-
ploy his great judicial talent, such as alone can
be furnished by the bench of the Supreme Court.
1t is true indeed, that the vacancy is only that of
Judge; but the mind of Mr.. Webster wherever it
Is placed, must always be chief and first, the lead.
ing mind the prominent intellect. Were Mr..
Webster to be only attorney Of the United States
Court, behind the bar, the Chief Justice of that
bench, Mr.. fancy, would still be under the magic
power of that magnificent intellect which Mr.
Webster enjoys. Indeed, looking upon the whole
field OF operations, we are not sure the President
would not make the best selection by sending in
Mr.. Webster's name to the United States Senate,
il Mr. Webster would accept (which, we think,
looking upon the whole field of uncertainty, he
ought to do. The rumors which have been in cir.
cniaton in relation to the transfer of Mr.. Henshaw
to the Treasury, and Mr.. Wise to the Navy, can
not be correct We do not suppose that Mr.. Ty-
Ter would select two of his cabinet officers from
one State, as the case would be if Mr.. Wise were
selected for the Navy, Mr.. Upshur being already
from Virginia, and in the State Department.
Upon the whole, we believe that MIR. Tyler, up to
the termination OF last week, had not fully made
up his mind who he would appoint to the vacant
Judgeship, and it is just good chance as any
that MIR. Webster may be his man, provided Mr.
Webster can accept il under all the other crcum-
s.ances Apropos-Why does Mr.. Webster advo-
vate the confirmation of Mr.. Henshaw as the Sc
cretary of the Nayy7

PROF.. GoURAUD; LECTURE AT N1BLo's.-The
weather was unfavorable for walking, but the Prof.
had highly intelligent and satisfied audience at
tend the repetition Of his Lecture ut Nibos Saloon.
The experiments were similar 10 those at the Tab
ernacle, and were executed with the same rapdity
ard accuracy, and indeed were, if any thing, more
satisfactory than on Thursday evening. One young
lady repeated, without the aid of the black board
the ratio OF the diameter to the circumference, car
ried out TO l54 places of dccimas without an error
ltis unnecessary to give detail of the experiments
as, from the reports which were published OF the
previous Lecture, they arc familiar to our readers
They were most wonderful in their results and
evlnced the astonishing power of that system which
will enable any person, even child of six years,
10 place in the treasury OF their memory the enor-
nous amount OF facts contained in the hundred pa
ges OF the performance, and some OF them OF the
nlost difficult characer-such as the ratio of the
diameter to the circumference.
The only new feature OF the system was the proof
OF the adaptation of the system TO the learning Of
prose and poetry, by Mr.. Gouraud himself He re-
peated at random as called on by the audience. anv
line from six pages of French verse, ard was loudly
applauded for his perfect accuracy.
The Professor answered the question put in one
of the morning papers III relation to his reading his
lecture, while he possessed the power of committing
tito memory, by stating that the lecture consisted
merely OF portion of the sheets Of the preface To
his dictionary which be had just finished, and he'd
not had time TO mnemonize.
The acquisition of such system as this of Prot
Gouraud must be of immense value to ALL and We
should suppose none would be unwilling to pay the
small fee necessary ior its acquisition. The system
should be introduced into public schools, aAd
be adopted as portion Of the regular education oi
both sexes.
The inhabitants OF BroosIyn viii have AZ oppor-
lGnity Of witnessing the surprising results OF this
system on Friday evening next, at the hall of the
Brooklyn Lyceum.

Cheddick was the wife of Gersham Cheddiek,
with whom Marsh traded real estate TO settle a
debt last season, leaving 10 arbtrators to settle
the terms With these Marsh was dissatisfied
and, on the day Cheddick moved into the house
he had SO acquired, declared that he should not
enjoy the property "a hours. That night the
house was burnt, and Mr. c. barely escaped,
while his wife and two children were burnt to
death. Circumstances arc held to implicate
