ARRIVALS FROM ABRoAD.-ln the Allan
tie at New York, We notice The names OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Delaney Kane, who, having
a beautiful house here, will probably pass
the summer in Newport. We observe
also Jonathan Hun. Of New York. Is
this the long lost, missing Hunt or ano,h-
er, Also George Wilkins Kendall, the
humorous and conservative editor OF the
Picayune. George has tecn OF late IN
Paris, bringing out his glea. work on the
Mexican war. 1t is 10 be illustrated by
numerous engravings Of baiile-views taken
on the sp0t and SO elaboraely splendid that
thew could no, be executed in ills country.
We notice also lie Cheraher Brewster
and his lady, or, more properly speaking,
his ife. This Brewster is the celebrated
Partisan dentist, who was endowed with
the order Of The Legion of Honor by Louis
Philippe for, We presume, pr serving Or
mending up his most hris.ian Majes,y's
mas,ica' ors. Thus Brewster became
great man, notwithstanding his profession,
which, was, like that of lawyers, aHJdw,
and, he achieved success as it~ere, IN spite
of his teeth. The blpglalhy of such
man deserves to be writ m. !, must abound
with curious particulars. II illustrates what

Dentist among thousands Of Dentists in The
capital Of France. He soon acquired by
his skill, industry aad good character, he
highes, rspu,e aud he has accumulated
large fortune. He has come home at last,
doubtless, to enjoy the fruits of lis fame

AN AMERICAN BlsHoP IN RoME.-The
Bishop Of Buffalo was at Rome when The
Pope returned, an ! delivered a DISCOURSE,
Of which the following is an extract -
Throughout the whole earth where
the gospel is this day read, and the eternal
Pastor is adored, the hearts Of the faithful

But after what has just happened at Rome,
no one can read these holy words without
being moved coGNosco OWES MEAS, EFT

John Laterand's, he prostrated himself be-
fore The Eternal Pastor, hidden in the Sac.
rament Of HIS Love. | saw the tears
which poured down the face Of The Sover-
eign Poniill who after days of excessive
grief, was finding himself again in the
midst OF the flock he had never ceased Ia
love. And | saw the profound emotion,
the fila sympathy Of that immense crowd
which surrounded its Pastor, and which be-
fore the invisible Pastor of the Church min
2led its tears with the tears of the Bi shop.
| saw indeed that the Pastor knew his
sheep, and that the sheep with nolon
recog nzed their Pastor.

A VALUABLE INvENTIoN.--The Ban
gor Whig says that Mr.. Charles II.
Judsins, formerly of that city, now
resident in England, has succeeded in
inventing machine for cleaning wool,
cotton, and other fibrous substances,
which is said to be superior to any
thing of the kind heretofore invented,
us it effectually separat $ the wool
from all its connections and entang O.
ments, and purifies it, ready for work
ing. All the factories IN England and
Scotland will soon be supplied with it,
to the decided advantage Of manufac-
turers, and to the advantage also of the
wool growers in South America and
elsewhere, particularly when liable to
be mixed with dlt and filth, the market
value of whose wool will be consider
ab enhanced.

The Power OF INTEREsT.-In the year
1852 the island, which now constitutes the
city and county Of New York, was purchas-
ed from The Indians for sixty guiiders or
twenty-four dollars. This seems cheap.
Yet if the purchasers had invested the said
sum of twenty -four dollars at compound In
terest at per cent, the accumulated capt.
tai on such Investment would in tn S year,
1850, amount TO siXiy-fye millions of dol
lars; in other words, t~enty-four dollars 60
inves' ed would now lie worth more than
the city and county Of New York, deduct
ing wha, has been expended upon he real
estate, since i, was purchased from the In
dans. Ergo, the land or island was not
cheap, for the purchaser could have done
better with his money,

The CASE OF PRCFEssoR JouN w.
WEBsTER.-An argument for a writ OF er-
ror was made on "Wednesday, before a full
bench Of the Supreme Judicial Court, in
the case of John w. Webster, now under
sentence of death, by his counsel, and ably
argued by the Hon. &. b. Goodrich But
few persons were present, except members
of the bar, which was numerousy repre-
scented. A decision has not been given.
The points o The petition were -
lst. That this Court has not acquired
jur sdIction in the case, aud had no light to
proceed in the trial against said Webster.
Cd, Neither the judgment or sen,enceare
in accordanre with tie requirements of the
statute. cd, That it does not appear th.t
the Nun cipal Cour, ever adjudicaleu upon
or determined To order the case to this
Court, by any record found in said Muni-
cipal Court, OF this Cour'.
a. That 1t does not appear that even le-
gal service wns made ol the Indictment, OF
order Of court thereon, upon said J. w.
Webster.
5. That tie sentence or Judgment ofthis
Court is no, in accordance with the stat
ute, which was that said Webster should
be taken to the Jail from whence he came,
and from thence TO the place of execution.
Hh., al bas Il -.
dclion in capital cases, but acquire juris-
diction by certain proceedings Of the Muni-
cpal Court, which were not had by said
Municipal Court, and therefore this Court
has no, yet acquired such jurisdiction.
7. That This Court had not yet been fur
nished with the records of said Municipal
Court by hich they only coud have legal
knowledge of The proceedings of said Mu-
nicipa Cour', and that The simple endorse
ment Of the Clerk Of the Municipal Court
upon said Indictment, is no. sufficient to
give this Court juri' diction in this case. g.
That chapter l39, section l3. of the Hevis-
cd Statutes rcquiles that in all capital cas-
es the execution of sentence shall be with
in the prison walls Of The jail where the
prisoner is confined.
Mr. Goodrich contended that in the case
oi Prof Webster, the order of The Municip-
al Court was issued and served without
seal, AND therefore was not proper order,
and could not be properly served on the
prisoner.
Mr.. Bemis opened the answering to the
prisoners counsel, and contended upon two
general points against the whole Of the
prisoners grounds of error. 1t, That
there is nothing illegal or erron eous in any
of the proceedings of the Municipal or 5. J.
Court, either technically or in rsr,, but all
the particulars Of the case, primary or final.
were in strict accordance with the require
ments of this Commonwealth, and rules Of
he Court. I'd, That Il errors did exist in
the proceedings in this case, they were
waived by the prisoner at the time of ,ria
by not then ohjecting TO the trial, and that

News TO THE AMERiCANs.-The Paris
des Debats, Of May I'd, Las two letters
signed Debrec, from San Francisco, one
dated 18th February and the other lst Of
March last. No material exception can be
taken to their contents, but the editorial
preface relates dreadful conflict between
the French immigrants and the Americans
in these terms -
The jealousy of the Americans was
reused by the mineral richness Of the re-
gions occupied by the French to the num-
ber Of egh, or Ten thousand the Ameri-
cans claimed to be absolute masters Of the
soil, aud undertook to drive away the pos
SCISSORS. A real La,ile ensued, in which
many con,batants on one side and the 9TH
or, lost their lives in military sense, our
compatrio,s had the advantage. Yet as ii
regards military glory, tho French needed
no victory over some bands of Americans,
and we fear as j, regards their interests,
that there will be sad consequences for the
French. Can the government the Repub.
lie iniev ne and protect them We
rather wish or hope than expect this re-
lief"
The Pari, editor has probably become
obfuscatcd with the diff .ulies between the
Americans and the Chilians, constituting Il g
latter into Frenchmen, aud exagperating
the whole affair The French consul for
San Francisco, Mr.. Dillon, was to set out
on the Sd from Paris, and pass by Wash
ington and through Mexico.

Gt 1t is now little more than two years
since, that a steamer arriving from Eu-
rope, announced that Louis Philippe had
been driven from his throne, and that all
Europe catching the revolutionary erlhu-
slasn, had risen in the cause Of freedom.
For many succeeding months every vessel
that came in from abroad was the messen-
ger of nations in rebellion, Of kingo abd.-
eating, of new Republics being born. For
awhile, indeed, il seemed as if the despot-
isms were overthrown forever. Ancient
monarches, which had withslood the tide
Of foreign foes for centuries, sank as in
quck-sand dynaslies, which had reigned
in peace and luxury for long geheta,ions, ,
became fueitiSes and everywhere. from
the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the
Pyrenees to the Carpa,hian, liberty was in
the ascendant Then ensued change -
The war of revolution, that had seeming
ly engu phej everything, broke into
thousand fragments and receded even fast. :
er than it had advanced The monarchs
took courage and returned TO their capi,ols.
The terror, which had but lately seized
princes, now took hold upon the people in
many places the cause Of freedom was Civ
en- up without struggle; and now, Eu-
rupe is held apparently in tyranny as alb
solute and as terrible as of old
France with the abridged suffrage and
the monarchist influence harmonizing as II
