bill was finally passed by Congress without at
tracing particular attention for the payment of
the claim without Interest. I htIDt
He quoted the opinions ofall former Attorney
Generals against the payment of interest upon
such claims 1.-The policy Of the government,
he said, had always refused interest in such
cases. He contrasted the conduct Of Mr.. Mon
roe in refusing to let the administration, Of which
he was part, Investigate the claims which he
had against the government. So delcntc was he
about it, that he struggled in the depths of pow
erty rather than permit a passage upon the claim.
In Crawford's case, he said, there was a con-
tract. His connection with the claims of Gal
phiH was unknown to the Attorney General and
to the President. He, as an Honorable, high
minded man, should have made the fact known,
that these officers of the Government might have
acted with delcacy in the matter I'd asi,a a
He did not believe that the ATTORNEY General
and Secretary Of the Treasury examined fully
into 1.-the history lof this matter. If they had
done SO, they would have learned from Mr.
Wise's report that Crawford was connected witt,
the matter. This fact shows that they did moi
make the investigation. If they had known the
whole facts in the case. they would not have as,
sumed the responsibility Of passing Upon it, by
which whirlwind of wrath would be gathered
up against the administration. He had himself
Investigated and read through seventy-fve vol.

DANIEL WRBsTHR AND JENNY LIND.--
Hon. Daniel Webster was introduced yes.
terday noon, by Mr.. Barnna. 70 Miss
Jenny Lind, in her parlor, which is on
the same floor with and directly opposite
the room occupied by Mr.. w. The
Transcript says--The meeting between
the great American statesman and the
renoS ned Swedish songstress was quite
cordial. and apparently afforded much
satisfaction TO each. They Of once en-
tered into lively and interesting CONVEX
sation. After some comparisons had
been made between the differences Of
climate in this country and Europe, Miss
Lind observed that she had nowhere no.
ticed such general prosperity and happi.
ness among the people as had appeared
to her during her short sojourn in Amer
lea.
Mr.. Webster BY his manner appropri-
ately acknowledged the truthfulness q
Of her remark, and very briefly alluded
to tie causes which produced so well
balanced condition Of society--our free
institutions. common school system. re-
iigious federation. the proftableness OF
labor, and the hopors awarded to intellec-
tual advancement, were delicately con-
trasted with the state of affairs under
arbitrary governments.
Miss Lind warmly expressed herself il
favor Of universal education, as the frs
fundamentally towards the freedom
happiness and prosperity Of the people
in any country; and this train Of con
versation was continued between thu
distinguished parties for about ten min
utes.
AS Mr.. Webster was passing out o
the room. Jenny turned TO her conpan
ion and enthusiastically exclaimed. !" Q
I have seen q nsan-his very looks STAMP
him with greatness--he Is one Of The
noblest Of Americana"

q gentleman from Buffalo made the &C.
quaintance Of rather a good looking lady,
who had an infant, and wassa passenger
on the cars from the West, and is sup,
posed to have left home to conceal im-
proper conduct. from the following cir>
cumstances. The gentleman was very
attentive TO her, and was soon on intimate
terms with the lady and baby. The wo-
man had an uncomnaon degre Of assu-
rance. which induced The gentleman to
propose that they should pass for hus--
band and wife, to which she readily as
scented. ~ 4'ts
Accordingly on reaching Albany, they
took lodgings at respectable hotel,
The gentleman called for supper; but.
the lady, who used every precaution to
keep the child concealed from the view
of any one, refused TO eat supper, saying
that she was unwell. However. the gem
tleman made a hearty repast, and excused
the woman, saying his wife was subject
to pain in the stomach, which deprived
her OF her food.
. Supper being ended, the gentleman
desired bed to be prepared, which be-.
ing lone, they immediately retired to rest.
Some timesin the night, the lady eloped
from the bed, leaving the infant to the
care Of her pretended husband. Soon
after her departure, the, infaut missing its
mother. began to scream most pitifllly,
which disturbed the gentleman's repose
and awakened all the people Of the house.
AT length the landlady got up TO see
what allied the child. The gentleman
with his adopted infant in his arms. en-
deavored 70 quiet it BY saying, Hush,
my dear, your mamma will soon return
again" Little did be think that she
bad departed to return no more: Her
long absence. however, at length excited
suspicion 10 his mind that its mother
would never return.
The landlady proposed taking up the
child TO see the reason Of its incessant
cries; she approached the bed and re,
Iqucsted the man to give her the chlld.
and tell whether il was son or daugh,
ter !; but this question redoubled his con-
sternation, as he was entirely ignorant
which sex the child belonged TO-: how-
ever. with some difficulty he made the
discovery, and informed the lady It was
a son. se
The wretched man having no excuse
to offer, Immediately divulged the whole
matter without reserve. Immediately
search was made for the mother Of the
child. but in vain. Aldaay Knicker-
