PROPOSALS.

For publishing by subscription new and
uniform edition OF tho Speeches., F0ren ensis
Arg@msnts, and Diplomatic Papsrs ofDsn-
tel Webster.
i specches Of Mr. Webster given to the pub
lie In collected FORM but without any considera-
BILE editorial preparation or proper regard to ar
rangement. Making an important part Of the
political, juridical. and diplomatic history Of the
country. az these works unquestionaby do, il has
for some time been subject OF complaint with the
public. that complete edition of all the writings
Of MIR, Webster, which he should deem proper to
form part Of such collection, has not been brought
out, with notes and illustrations, made necessary
by the lapse of time and changes in public affairs
II has been for some time known to Mr.. Web
sters friends that in the leisure from more press
ing pursuits, he had written notes to several of
these speeches, and that others had been prepared
by other hands, and we are now happy to announce
that they have obtained his consent that such an
edition of his works as the public has long desired
to poesess should be given to 1t.
OF the nature and value Of these wor rks it s not
necessary for the publishers to speak; both we'll
known and appreciated, well in Europe az in
America. II is proposed to print the contents of
the volumes in the following order, chronoogically
arranged:
l. Notice of Mr. Webstcr's Life and Works, by
Edward Everett.
?. Speeches and Discussions in Congress.
3. Orations and Addresses on various public oc-
casions. .
4. Legal Essays.
5. Diplomatic Papers.
The work will be comprised in six volumes, of
about five hundred pages each, printed in the best
manner, and bound in CLOTH A finely engraved
head Of Mr. Webster will be given in the first vol
ume, and his autograph will accompany every sub
scribcr's copy. The price will be 81 volume,
payable on delivery.
Two hundred copies will be printed on large pa
paper, and having the autograph, at S. volume.
The work will be put to press at once, and the
publishers hope to deliver it complete early in the
ensuing autumn.

and we have seen many of them az seduious and

Washington Infrmary, as the experience of years
and the responsibilities Of the physician could
sibly render them. The advantages OF their posi-

AccIpENr.--The Reverend MIR. Keller, of Boston,
while riding on horseback ON the Avenue, yester-
day afternoon, in company with lady, was
thrown, by asudden bound Of the animal, and
severely, though not dangerously. injured. He
was taken into the drug store Of Mr.. w. II. Gil
man, at the corner Of u street, where the
accident occurred, where his wounds were dressed
by DR.. Boyle.
Nh. NEApIE.--This gentleman has been playing
at National Hall during the past week. We have
witnessed his performance Of Othello, Damon, Car
win, and Mohammed. In all of these parts he has
shown himself to be an accomplished, consummate
actor. But we intend TO speak particularly Of his
Richard ILL.,, which has been 80 highly lauded by
the press generally in the other cities where he has
appeared the crook backed tyrant. His per-
sonation Of this character differs widely, in some
parts, from that Of any other actor we have seen.
On the whole, his conception Of the character more
nearly resembles Mr.. Booths mastery embodi-
ment than any one elsc's. He is like Booth in his
best scenes, and, we think, surpasses him in the
light phases of Richards character, giving the
light and shade in such manner as to form q
clear realization OF the Richard of Shakespeare and
history combined The tone Of exultation with
which he delivers the first part of the speech,
SHOW il the winter" &C., Is just and proper and
the transition frsm that to the darker features OF
his character, when he comes 10 speak of himself,
il inimitable. The changing his dress, in the Sc
cond act, to one Of mourning We thought very ap-
propriate as an additional stratagem for ensnaring
Lady Anne. His secret joy at the thought of be-
ing hailed king, and his triumph when the dream
is at last realized, were admirably given, and
called forth long and merited applause. The noble
and digniied scorn with which he treats his 'cou.
sin Of Buckingham," after his refusal TO kill the
princes, was also portrayed in very effective
style. In the tent and battle scenes he is
even greater than Booth In truth, Mr.. Neafie's
Richard is decidedly great. merits all the applause
20 literally bestowed upon it by the press else
where, and fully equals that of cold .oth in his
palmy days. when he was wont TO "hring the
house down. in every scene We hope that il will

for fine acting, and were prevented on Saturday
