Daniel Webster.

The hat Of the new American CABINET, when ar
rived By the Hibenia on Sunday last, places M.
Webster in the position Of Secretary OF State.
Mr.. Webster's fame is European as well as trans
atlantic. He is not less favorsbly known at home
than respe cted abroad; and the fact Of bis taking
Office under President Fillmore Ia regarded on this
side Of the Atlantic ss favorable augury OF the
new Presidents discrimination Of character. The
Wbig party are now in the most favorable position
" hich they have enjoyed for many years and with
ordinary discrimination, they cannot fail to impress
the country with becoming sense OF their admin
istratve capacity. Wilmer and Smiths Times

Salp FEVER ON THE LAKEs-54 Nor.
acegians Died an the Propeller Atlegha-
ny.-The Milwaukee Wisconsin of the
18th inst, has the following, which shows
an awful destruction Of life by ship fever:
PROPELLER ALLEGHANY = DveadtalI
Mortafny--This vessel cleared from Buff
falo with 80 Norwegian immigrants.
On arriving here she had but 105, the
balance died on the passage and were
thrown overheard. Five died the night
before last, and were buried or rather
laid in the sand at the mouth of this har.
Oor.
Through the exertions of Alderman
Rogers, of the 9TH ward, the old Govern
menl building, at the mouth Of the har-
Dor, was secured for the accommodation
Of the sick, and they will be taken care
of there as ar hospital. The poor VIC
TINS of disease are i'll pitiable condition,
and are rejoiced in any way Of getting
rid of the Propeller. They were three
months on their passage from Europe
and contracted the ship fever on the voy-
age.

THE Fiery DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT
NoTEs.-In regard to the fifty dollar
counterfeits OH the State Bank OF Mis-.
souri,. the St. Louis Republican, of the
10Th inst, has the following:
1t is pretty we'll settled that the fifty
dollar counterfeit notes of the Stale Bank
of Missouri began to make their appear
ance in this city at least two weeks ago.
and it IS very probable that large
amount of them are in circulation, not
only in this city but in this State aud Hi,
nois. They were 4irst put in circulation
in California, aud there purchased for re,
mittance 10 correspondents in. or brought
home by citizens of, Missouri, Illinois.
aud Iowa. The extent Of The mischief
is. therefore. only partially knowr; it may
be much greater in California than 1t is
here. Notwithstanding the attempt to
discriminate between the genuine and the
counterfeit: notes, and points Of variance
are stated with some distinctLess, it re.
quires practIsed eye 10 note them
The counterfeit note is, apparently, fault.
less, and it is only upon very close ex'
animation that it Gun be detected The
paper which has beer generally examn,
ed. when compared with the genuine
notes, is new, but if it was worn as much
as the other it would be almost impossi,
ble to detect it. We do not advise any
one to rely upon his scrutiny. but rather.
as the surest means Of avoiding loss. we
would counsel all TO refuse the fifty dol,
lar notes altogether. Let the presnt hol-
ders return this paper TO the bank at once.
so that it may be reciified with as little
delay as possible, and other paper issued
in its place. This is the best remedy.

ANOTHER GREAT CoNFLAGRATIoN AT SAN
FRANcIsco.-The steamship Alabama has
arrived at New Orleans, from Chagres,
bringing two days later news from San
francisco, which city was, on the II IN
September, the scene of another awful
confagration-destroying about one hun
dred and fifty houses but, fortunately,
was confined to locality where no ex-
tensive business was done, and con.
seqnently the loss was not so great as or
a tormef occasion of the kind. 1t was
supposed that 100000 would cover the
damages. The Pacific News office was
totally destroyed-loss estimated at $780,
600. The Evening Picayune office was
also injured to the amount of about $2,-
600. This arrival brings no other news
of Importance.
