many things thatin moment presented themselves

PRoFEssoR WEBsTER-On Saturday morning
last, Messrs. Merrick and Sohier, council for DR..
Webster, and Mr.. Attorney General Clifford and
Mr.. Bemis, for the Commonwealth, met Judges
Dewey and Fletcher, of the supreme court in cham
bers at Boston, in relation TO the application for
writ Of error and the main question involved
could only be determined by the full bench it was
concluded TO withhold the application till the
ing of the full court in June, when final hearing
can be had upon the whole subject, viz: first, on
the right of defendant in capital to n writ
of error at ALL second, to the prima facie mate
rslty of the suggested grounds Of error and third
whether such grounds actually exist. IT, the Boston
Post remarks, il is decided that the defendant has
right to the writ then the great questions will be,
whether it appears from the record that he was
duly notified, according to the full requirements of
law, that the indictment was certified up; and fur
Their, whether ii sufficiently appears from the record
that the municipal court ever accepted acted up
on the indictment, by passing an order that it be
certified up. One reply to the assigned errors will
be, that, whether the certificates or notices were
technically sufficient, otherwise. the defendant,
by pleading TO the indictment, waived all cxcep
ton to any Irregularities in the process by which
he was brought into court

After it was subdued il uniformly treated as
an enenys country, and restored to the possession
OF the Mexican authorities when peace was con-
cluded. And certainly its subjugation did not
compel the United States, while they held it, to

Neither is it necessary to examine the English de-
cisions which have been referred TO by counsel 1t
is true that most Of the States have adopted the
principles of English jurisprudence, so far as il con-
Germs private and individual rights; and when
such rights are in question we habitually refer to
the English decisions not only with respect but in
many cases authoritative. But, in the distrbu-
ton of political power between the great depart
ments Of Government, there is such wide differ
ence between the power conferred on the President
OF the United States, and the authority and sove-
reignty which belongs TO the English CROWN that 1t
would be altogether unsafe to reason'from any sup
posed resemblance between them, either regards
conquests in war, or any other subject, where the
rights and powers of the Executive arm of the Gov
stitution and form Of Government must be our only
guide. And we entirely satisfied that, under
the Constitution and laws Of the United States,
Iampico was foreign port, within the meaning
OF the act of 1876, when these goods were shipped
and that the cargoes were liable the duty charged
upon them; and we shall certify accordingly to the

BRAzL.-The bark Isabeta, at New York on the
5th inst, brings dcporable accounts of the ravages
Of the yellow coast fever, at Rio.
Some vessels, particularly Italian, German, and
English had lost their whole crews, and, in some
instances, their captains and officers; also, the la
dies Of several English captains. Among these were
three Hamburguese vessels which had left the port
commanded by American captains, at high wages.
The use Of liquor in such vessels and exposure Of
the crew 10 the sun, when at work board, or
towing lighters, without awnings 10 protect them
by day, or from the dew at night contributed much
20 this.
The Isabella was spared from the sickness
around, both at Bahia and Rio. The epidemic was
pronounced by medical men Of experience rs not
yellow fever, but the kind that is usual the coast
Of Africa, whence the contagion probably came.
The emperor had suffered from slight attack of
the prevailing epidemic, but was couvalescent at
the metropolis. The contagion had extended to
Rio Grandc do Sui, by latest accounts.
Business generally is very dull, all the mercan-
tile community at liberty being out OF town, and
payments withheld by the Portuguese.

TELEGRApH TO EuRoPE.-Qute number of wri-
tiers in the North discussing with earnestness
the practcability of laying wires upon the bed OF
the ocean, and establishing Geographic commu-
nicaton at once; and, believe, the most of them
approve the project. A correspondent of the Jour-
nal Of Commerce, who is represented to be an able,
experienced and scientific civil engineer, proposes
to lay down wire rope of twenty strands, number
Ia wire, isolated from each other, so that twenty
distinct machines could be operated, and twenty
messages sent at the same time. He says it will
take eight miles in length of this rope to break by
its own weight in the water; and that therefore il
could not break upon being let down into the Deep
est part of the The wire rope is to be coated
with gutta percha, and to be recled off from steam
ers employed for the purpose. 1t would cost, he
says, $S75,000 for $500 miles; the whole distance
from New York to England, uia Boston and New
foundland with allowances The cost of two steam
trip including the erection of station houses
at the landings, Geographic machines, &c, &C.,
ready for operation, he estimates at 425, 000 which
will swell the total to 81 100000.
