at the Mayors mansion. Atthree O'Clock
they dined at the Tontine with members
of the press and other guests, Mr.. Allis
did himself very great credit BY his Ia
bles---and he richly earned It, especially
when it is considered that he had but
short time in which to make ready for
such company. Mayor Skinner, after
the removal Of the cloth, gave FIRST
rate toast to the City of New York. =
which was responded TO by the Recorder
in the very best manner, amid the hearty

uIt will be seen by the Legislative
proceedings, that the illustrious body Of
democrats now convened at New Haven,
are fully resolved upon prescribing ev'
erybody suspected of being wing The
few wings appointed to office on the part
of the House, have had their names era
sed in the Senate, to make room, as far
as possible, for the greedy crowd of de-
mocratlc aspirants. The smallest piece
of political malice that has come to our
knowledge recently. was exhibited in the
Senate last week, in the case of one Of
the Fairfield County COMMISSIONER
The Hon. Charles Hawley, late Lieuten-
ant Governor of the State. had passed
the House as Commissioner, but the
Senate refused to concur. To this. how>
ever, we do not object. The Fairfield
county Justice Bill subsequently came
up in the Senate, when Jacob Bees, the
" Senator from Newtown," moved to
erase the name Of Charles Has0ley from
the list Of Justices Of the Peace! Now
we are not silly enough to suppose that
Mr.. Hawley has any aspirations for eli.
Their of the Offices alluded to; we simply
chronicle the fact, in o,der to excite the
of the public in behalf of
tho "poor man" who could stoop so low.
We have not the honor Of an acquain-
lance with Senator Beers, (and hope we
never shall have. but charity leads us
10 hope he may live long enough to rc>
pent of the despicable sin Of meanness.

Case Of Prof. webster.

issue of writ OF error in the case of
Prof. Webster, his argument in support
thereof, and the counter argument OF MIR.
Bemis, junior counsel for the Common.
wealth in the case.
The application for the writ is based
on alleged errors in the proceedings al
ready had-such, that the records and
action of the lower Courts were not suf-
ficiently explicit in terms, nor properly
authenticated by the judicial seal-also
that the final sentence passed upon the
prisoner by the Supreme Court was le-
gally Ineffective by reason Of similar de-
iiciencies. Sa IRE sB VII.
Mr.. Goodrich made an elaborate and
able argument in support of his propo-
sitions, and quoted many authorities up
on the several points mooted. @
Mr.. Bemis replied briefly, stating that
all the objections raised were but techni-
cal and wholly immaterial. The Court
had years ago decided that such were
incompetent TO procure rehearing Of
proceedings; and the Commonwealth
relied upon this decision.
The Attorney General and Mcssrs.
Merrick and Sohier were present during
the discussion. The Court will take
some time to consider the application.

hearing was had before the full bench Of
