" Our fellow citizen, Mir. ANDREW DICKINSON, we are happy to state, has re turned home from his visit to Britain and France, with his health restored: His aP- pearance gives evidence of the favorable influence of n foreign voyage in dyspepsia. Mir. D. arrived on Sunday morning, in the steamship City of Glasgow. He intends to publish a narrative of his tour. Those who are acquainted with him, will antici~ pate an Interesting production. = Will liansburgh l.. l. Gazette. Aug. 26.
 We are glad to hear so good areport of our esteemed friend and correspondent. Our forebodings were. that his health was irrev- ocably lost but his rambles among the glorious scenes of the old world, seem to have renovated his physical energies, and we donbt not have cheered his dropping spirits.

 then took the east cars and went to Will liamstown, and was surprised and pur- sued by some one, as he remarked in Troy, that he had whipped two consta- bles and escaped, the particulars of which will soon appear. He escaped in a one horse carriage, and arrived at the St. Charles Hotel Tuesday morning about o'clock. And the sequel is now is now before the world. They there resolved to. die--with his own hand he opened the portals of eternity. They both passed to the undiscovered country from whence no traveller has returned. The pages of romance can scarcely pro- duce a parallel, or description fraught with such startling and awful circum- stances, as represented in the truths of this case.

@-RABELLO, the maniac. who was sent to the State Prison some years since for kill ing boy Tn New Preston. is still in solitary confinement, and time is fast wearing out his constitution. He is growing paler and more haggard. His eyes are much sunk, but they still wear the wild glare of the maniac, = Much of his time is occupied Tn talking with the greatest earnestness in his native language and not unfrequently he raves for hours to- gether. Is the State Prison proper place for such person It seems to us that it would be an act of justice and humanity, to transfer him to the Insane Retleat.

 Disbanded factionists, who, feeling that they have irrecovcrably lost caste with tEeir own countrymen, and have outlived the sympathy and confidence of the community, are beside themselves with fury, and are rushing desperately upon their total annihllatiOn as a party, or as the representatives of any rational theory or purpose.

 The erection of the gallows was com menced at daylight and was completed at o'clock.
 The position of the scaffOld, in the cen- tre of the yard, was more open to the view of outsiders than it would have been in any other spot, giving perhaps double the view which was afforded at the exe- cution of Washington Goode.
 This change from the North West corner to the centre of the yard, shut off the view from the direction of Wall street, but it did not diminish the extensive view of the rear of the buildings on Lowell street, and added extensively to the view from Leverett street.

The countenance of Professor Web> ster in death was serene and even pleas ant in its expression; exhibiting no dis coloration or sign of distortion. The genial beaming smile, with which he was wont to encounter friend, seemed to have just passed over it, and left its trace.
 Soon after the body was cut down, Dr. Putnam repaired to Cambridge to com municate intelligence of the execution to the bereavcd family. For some days through the vague communication of a friend, they had been anticipating, that each interview with the prisoner might be the last; although they left the cell and the jail on Thursday, not supposing that the execution would take place next day. As they entered their carriage, however, they noticed a hustle about the jail. and the assembling of crowd. from which they drew dreadful augpries o the imminence of the fatal event; ano when the visit of Dr. Putnam was an nounced yesterday morning, they at once knew that all was over.

At one of the sittings of the late Scientf- fc Convention at New Haven. Professor Johnson took occasion to allude to the worlhlessneSs of the stone that is used in. the erection of the Washington Monument. He says that with one exception, VIZ the Acquia Creek free stone of which the Pat ent Office is built, il is the poorest build~ ing material in use in the United States It supports crushing force of only about 2 OO0 lbs. to the square inch, while good marble will sustain at least 5000 lbs. to the same. It is not improbable that the mon> ument, if carried 10 the projected height, will fal 10 pieces of it's own weight. In addition, almost every square inch of the marIle contains sulphuret Of iron, which readily decomposes on exposure to the ats mosphere. thus staining and destroying the parts in contact with it. Prof. J. states that the Patent Office building is already so dilapidated by the decay of the materials used in its construction, that it is consider> ed by some of the occupants as unsafe, and buttreSses are now erecting to keep it from tumbiing to the earth.

In fulfilling the duties of thus appoint ment, he will make the tour of the county on foot - addressing the friends of education whenever he shall deem il expedient, col. lecting such facts and imparting such sug> gestions as are calculated to promote the in- terests of schools.
