The Paine Light.

It is announced in the New York papers
that a committee of scientific men, who
have been investigating Mr.. Paine's new
light, will report upon it in a few days,
and that the report conclades with pro-
n%ouncing the whole thing humbng. M
Paine, however, will not "give it up 10,
and in answer to a semi-oficial report from
lone of these gentlemen, writes to. the
Boston Transcript as follows /: 4
Permit me to ssy that the statements
made by Science Yin your Journal of the
lzGth, are false in every sense; false in his
description Of the apparatts, false in his"
estimates. The apparatus does not stand
on a table but IN a cast non frame, three
fleet from tbs floor. There is no insulated
copper wire connected with the instrument
in any way. No part Of my large appara-
Itus is concealed in a box The ~carls1ret-
ting Of the gas is new and original with
Imyself, if we may believe the scientific
world for it asserts, that it is an iinpossi-
bllity to carbonize hydrogen with the
spirit cold, The statements with reference
to a 'selfregulating gas generator night
apply to the production Of hydrogen, but
will the gentleman contrive some appara-
)tus to produce the oxygen? Yours,
1 HENRY NJ. PAINE.
"P. S-My time is much occupied,
and I cannot possibly meet all the parties
who are anxious of immortalizing them
selves. My discovery will take care Of
Itself, Meantime, I would state, to save
waste of time and good temper, that none
fof these scurrilous articles effect my
~pecuniary interests, asI have disposed of
Them for the United States.

Confession or ProE Webster,

This Individual has confessed that. he'

act Was cotriinitted in amoinhtt of excite
lnenty without preIncdiateil design or
mnlice. We think Webster's confessions
Icomes altogether to late to- serve any
useful purpose, aud doubt exceedingly
whether it will save his neck from the
halter. Indeed, this act Of confession looks
more like euwardice-4or desire to'eke out
a miserable existence d few yeitfe longer,
than atfvthing else we can thifk OF, inst
now. For the sake Of his children, II for
no other motive, he should have preserved
to them the privilege Of thinking that their

CONFESSION OF TaorEssoR WEBSTER.
The confession of Professor Webster was
banded i'll to the Governor and Council
yesterday. He solemnly denies that tie
Iact was premeditatede lie says his object
in making disappointment with pnrkman,
was to site fof further indulgence, ms he
was unable to meet his engagements, and
did not promise to pay him anything
that Parkman used most harsh epithcts'
Towards him, and In the frenzy Of the
moment, he struck him over the head with
q stick OF wood, which killed him Instantly.
GENERAL Tw1GGs.-A Washington
letter in the New York, Tribune, noticing
the arrival of Gen. Twiggs in that city,
|says:
Gen. Twiggs looks badly, having SITTER
ed greatly from the climate, as well "a the
unfortunate accident by which he had his
tight arm broken. A portion of his com
maud has been sent to Jefferson barracks,
and other portions scattered at different
posts on the southern frontier. So soon az
he recruits his health h little atathe north,
he has it ia contemplation to- resume his
command at New Orleans.
