TUESDAY MORNING, MAY I, 1850.
Congress.

Congress.
In the Senate, yesterday, after the cleo
ton of Mr.. KING as President pro tenn, a
motion to print thirty thousand extra
copies of part two of the report of the
Commissioner of Patents containing the
agricultural statistics was debated and
finally adopted. The bill to establish a
board of accounts was considered till the
adjournment.
In the House of Representatives., Mr.
STANLY offered resolution, which was
passed under suspension of the rules,
providing for the appointment of select
committee of nine members, to make in
quiry into electioneering movements of
officers under the late administration. A
resolution was adopted, on motion of Mr.
CRowELL, calling upon the Secretary of
War for information connected with the
claim of Texas to portion of New Mex
leo. Mr.. BURT made an Intellectual attempt
to introduce resolution requesting the
President ''to signify to the Government
of Great Britain the wish of the Govern
ment of the United States to terminate the
eighth article of the treaty concluded be-
tween them at Washington, on the ninth
day of August, A. ID. 1922 which pro-
vides for naval force on the coast of At
RIGA, with view to the suppression of the
slave trade. The House refused to sus-
pend the rules for. the introduction Of the
resolution; and then went into committee
on the Census bill, which, judging from
the progress made, will be disposed of to-
day

Various amendments were voted ON. The most
important one adopted was for the ascertainment
Of the number of slaves fugitive and slaves manu-
mitted. All the sections and schedules having
MIR. vINION offered two amendments The

Tn. Tariff. and the Revenue.

"Vast sums" said Mr.. Secretary
WALKER, have been "lost to American
creditors" producing can unnatural de-
mand for specie and consequent expor-
tation, but all this specie must soon come
back to our country, except so far as il is
lost by foreign bankruptcy" Here was
distinct promise that the value of our
products exported under the Secretary's
system of GLOW duties" should be so
much greater than that of the "cheaper
fabrics" imported; that the balance would
be returned in specie; and the promise is
yet but little more than one year old.
Has it been performed The answer is TO
be found in the fact that not only has not a
dollar of il been returned, but the amount
of our imports has been so much greater
than the value Of our exports, that we
have, since the date Of that report, gone
in debt to the extent Of thirty millions Of
dollars, involving the payment Of almost
two millions Of dollars year for interest,
and that it has been only by transmitting
stocks, bonds, and every other descrip-
ton of certificates Of Indebtedness, that
we have been prevented from losing all
our specie-yet the Secretery thought the
demand Of 1S4S was "unnatural."
These remittances Of stocks are called
''transfers Of capital;" and they are pre-
cisely such "transfers" as are made by
the man who spends $40, 900 year out
of an income of $4,000. At the end Of
the first year he gives his note; and so he
does at the end Of the second, third, and
fourth, and, perhaps, even the fifth; by
which time his debt, and the interest up
on this capital which he has "trsnsferred''
to himself in the form Of wine, tea, clothes
and jewelry, are Sufficient, in case of any
change in the value Of property, almost TO
ruin him. The capital we "transfer''
comes in the shape Of silks, and cloths,
and iron, and the bonds we send abroad
are merely TO make up the deficiency Of
value in our "surplus products, !" resulting
from the necessity for depending on dis
tant market, to which we must 60, when
we might have nearer one, to which men
would gladly come if we would permit
them so to do.
Twelve years since we had precisely
the same s'trsnsfers Of capital" and we
ate and drank it, and had at length to pay
for it; and then States, cities, towns, rail-
road and canal companies, and individu-
ais, became bankrupt; and such is now
like to be the manner in which the Sec
retary's brilliant promises will be per-
formed, unless his opponents, our WING
friends, should cut short the existence Of
his system.

The debt created in the present fiscal
year will be more than thirty millions, and
il may reach forty; and if the duties there
on collected be deducted from the amounts
received, it will be found that the actual
revenue, to be relied upon, has been but
little more, per head, than that collected
in the disastrous period Of 1S42, result
widely different from the brilliant anticipa-
tons Of the Secretary, who thought the
specie would be returned, and the revenue
from customs would ego on augmenting"
as fast as the population. Every thing is
fated to ego on" diminishing, for if we
cannot sell " breadstufs and provisions"
we certainly cannot buy the " cheaper
fabrics;" and the experience of the pres
ent year has proved, by the total dissp-
pointment of all calculations among i'm
porters, that the power TO buy is passing
away as day by day the mines and fur
naces Of the country are being closed, and
cargo by cargo our people are flying from
the closed mines and furnaces and mills,
to seek in California that employment
which is denied to them at home.

Statement Of Reasons showing the Hegalitu of that
Verdict upon ohich sentence of Death has been pro
nouneed against John W. Webster for the alleged
Murder Of George Pdrkman. BY n member Of
the Legal Profession. New York stringer &
Townsend.
This is pamphlet Of some forty pages, which
was published only ten days ago, but has al
ready, we learn, passed through several large edi-
tions-so great il the interest which the subject
continues 10 excite in the public mind II Is we
think, by far the ablest Of the many criticisms
which the trial Of Professor Webster has called
forth. II is written with the most scrupulous re-
gard TO accuracy, both in the statement Of the cir
cumstances proved and the rules Of law which ap-
ply TO them; and il shows conclusively that with
out disregard Of some Of the most positive and
important OF those rules, the verdict Of guilty could
have been rendered. II shows also, that in the
well. known cases which are cited Of the convic-
ton Of innocent persons upon circumstantal evil
dence, the may be traced to a similar disre-
gard Of one or more Of those salutsry rules.
The main point on which the writer bases his ar
gumcnt IL the absence Of sufficient prof Of that
which lies at tho foundation Of the whole case viz
the eopu, deIic In regard 10 this the rule is thus
stated "Ths fact that the crime has actually been
committed By must BE- proved By positive and
direct evidence, and IN such annsy that there 10 not
"s e"et ""eot ~ W f oct y 70 0nf az thfrf sTtsff
he siighfest doubt 10 the act there can be no Ger
tanfy "a 10 the agent" The doubt here referred 10
Is not reasonable doubt; Il IL any, the slightest
doubt. The fact to be proved Is not 10 be inferred
from circumstances, but must be proved distinctly
either by direct evidence by positive identified
ton Of the body That this IL the law IL established
by the most unquestionable authorities The writer
then proceeds 10 show that the very opposite Of this
rule was laid down in the judges charge. The
jury were told not only that the death Of Parkman
might be inferred from the ercsastanfai evidence,
but that IL sufficient II the circumstances salts
fed them Of the death beyond a reasonable doubt.
without acting upon this misinstruction, Il
would have been impossible for the jury 10 convict
the prisoner.
Other points Of objection are raised in this pam
phlet, and argued with equal ability and the con-
duct Of the court the counsel and the jury s crit
cised with great severity. To our mind, the one
point which we have noticed IL sufficient. The ar
gumcnt is 80 clearly and logically stated that IL
difficult 10 escape from its conclusion. We do not
believe that any intelligent man who reads it,
whatever opinion he may have formed as to Web
ster's guilt-can deny that he has not been proved
guilty according TO law.

WILLIAMS. NJ. D. RS, Professor OF
Medicine in University College, London, consul
ting physician to the Hospital Tor Consumption,
&c saws; II have prescribed the Oil in above
four hundred cases of tubeIcuIous disease OF the
Lungs in different stages which have been under
nv care the last two years and hall. In the
large number of cases 2O6 out OF ga, its use was
followed by marked, unequivocal improvement,
varying in degree in different cases, from tenn
porary retarJation Of the progress OF the disease
and a mitigation Of distressing symptoms, up to
a more or less complete restoration to apparent
health.
..The effect of the Cod Liver Oil in most Of
these cases was very remarkable Even in few
days the cough was mitigated, the expccioration
diminished in quantity and opacity, the night
| sweats ceased, the pulse became slower, anu oil
better volume, and the appetite, flesh and strength
were gradually improved.
"In conclusion repeat that the pure fresh Oil
from the Liver of the God is more beneficial in
the treatment of Pulmonary Consumption than
any agent, medicinal, dete,ic or regmenal, that
has yet been employed
As we have made arrangements to pro-
cure the Cod Liver Oil fresh from head
