we are indebted TO a friend Tor the
following extract from letter dated
FLORENCE, May %.
During the past few weeks have
been down TO Carlhagena, in Spain,
near which place lies the wreck OF the
ship that coniared the statue Of eve"
by our friend Powers. MIR. p. having
learned that the statue had been got out
Of the wreck, aud that among other
things, it was stored at Carthagena, was
desirous 10 have scmc one who under
stood packing, and handling works of
art, to 60 down there and see what
state his figure was in, and if necessary
put it in order for reshipment.
volunteered to do this, and fotu-
nately arrived just in time to save the
statue from the STAINS Of sea water, rust
aud hay. The blocks which held il
firm in the box were brought together
by large iron bolts, and these had al
ready became blistered with rust. The
whole interior was damp, and one
side, which had been immersed, was
thoroughly wet.
removed everything from around
the figure, baked the covering boards
in the sun, removed the rust from the
iron work, and let the air and sun have
vent to expeI and dry up all the damp
collected in tie box. then re-cov-
cred the statue, and repacked it care
fully. ] understand it will have to re-
main there until the expenses of sal
wage, storage, &c, are paid, when it
will be re-shirped to the United States
Isupposa the whole affair is in the
hands of the underwriters. The YES
sci which said stranded about five
leagues East Of Carlhagena, was sold
for $1,000, as she lay.
In the same storehouse there are
great many boxes belonging to Mr.
Grcenway, who was out here few
months since, some of which are much
broken and their contents st!ewed
about, and others again that seem to
have sustained little or no injury. A
small bust of the "Greek Slave" is al
so there, stained and blackened in ey-
cry part.-C0m. ADJ.

When the officers came TO arrest
him, he was in doubt as 10 their object,
whether il vas, as alleged, TO again

dreadful with fears of the facts having

When they reached the Jail, his fears
Of being detected were confirmed, and
before leaving the carriage he took

he attributed his after strange appear

He states that he wrote but one of

The letter from Jail ,he again asserts,
contained only caution against a bot

After he had made the statement, DR..
Putnam adjured him to state, as for a
man at the point Of death, whether,
previously to the occurrence, the

DR.. Parkmans death would benefit him.

No, as live | never dreamt of any
such thing, My passions have been

This is the substance of DIR. Web

additional documents relative to minor
matters. The Rev. DIR. Putnam then
followed in an argument tc the Council
on the truthulncss of the statement,
and in favor Of granting a commutation
of punishment, in which he stated his
firm belief that Professor Webster had
told the truth in the matter
lie further stated that if the Com

be uniavorablc, he wished for further
