WEBB AND WILLIs.-It will be remembered
that we stated, several days ago, that Smith
Coddington, and Mary his wife, of New Jersey
obtained an order from one Of the courts of
New York, requiring Col. Webb to place certain
letters, now in his possession, III the care of a
third person named by themselves, and pre-
venting him. under any circumstances, from
making any portion of them public. They are
q portion of a correspondence which passed be-
tween Willis and Mrs. c., some years ago, and
are, no doubt, the letters Webb refers to as
being in his possession when he made the charge
of seduction against Willis. On the 9th inst.
Webb asked in court to have the order can
cellcd which requires him to deposit the letters
in the hands of Andrew Warner. In his affida-
Wit he attempts to show that the letters he pos
sesses cannot be such as are indicated in the
complaint of the Coddingtons. He further
AYERS that the letters he has are the produc-
ton of a female who had evidently been Sc
duced by the said Willis, and who was laboring
under remorsc of conscience arising from her
conviction that, in addition to her loss Of vir-
tue, she had been guilty Of the crime of adul-
terry with said Willis" He was interrupted in
reading some letters incorporated in his affida-
Wit, by the Judge declaring him to be in con-
tempt for violating the order which forbids him
to read or publish any part of them. An order
was subsequently given, on motion of Mrs.
Coddington's counsel, for an attachment against
Webb for violating the injunction. In the New
York Herald of yesterday, George Buckham
published letter, in which he defends Mrs.
Coddington from Webb's charges, but throws
no new light upon the matter There is evil

RICH PERSONS IN New ORLEANs.-Madam
Pontabla is said to be the richest property
holder in New Orleans. Her estate is estimated
as worth about two millions of dolars-one half
of it is in France The Delta says that, in pro-
portion to its population, New Orleans has q
greater number C rich men than any other city
in the Union there are few millionaires, but
large number who own from 100000 to
$5O0,000. 1t adds, property has advanced
so rapidly in value here, that a man grows rich
imperceptihly. A man who had $50, 900 or
$4,000 may quietly fold his arms, and wait
for few years, without producing a cent, and
wake up to find himself very wealthy. He may
buy swamp, or suburban lot, and take voy-
age to the Mediterranean, and on his return
find his property doubled in value

CHARGE OF FORGERY IN PHILADELPHIA.-The
Ledger says:
"Captain Morehead, of the first regim ent of
| Pennsylvania volunteers, serving in Mexico,
has been arrested on n charge of forging the
names of several men of his company, on claims
for the pay lately granted to the Mexican vol
unteers by the State 1t appeared by the tes-
timony before the Mayor, that Captain More
head sent list of his men to Harrisburg, on
which he received certificates for the amount
due to them-Sl8 each, payable by the county
treasurer here; and that q day or two after
these certificates were issued, another list was
forwarded to the State Auditor containing some
of the names in the first list. The second list
was clearly n forgery, and was accompanied by
a request that the certificates should be for
warded to William Bryan, Philadelphia"
The only William Bryan connected with Capt.
Moreheads company was DIR. William Bryan
who was lieutenant with him in Mexico, but
now resides in Burlington, n. J. He was ex-
amined before the Mayor, and testified that he
had never sent such claim to Harrisburg, and
further stated that the signature to the cert-
fcate accompanying it was nothing more than
an imitation of Capt. Moreheads name Capt.
Morehead did not draw any money on the GER
tfcates alleged to be forged, and gave them up
the moment their genuineness was disputed,
expressing surprise that they were called in
question or doubt. As the matter was such as
to require xplanation-although the second
list, clearly forgery, not traceabe to Captain
Morehead, was the sole ground of suspecting
the first list sent up by him-he was held to
bail in $4,000, to answer the charge"

DEATH OR SICKNESS FROM THE STING OF THE
LoCusTs.-Mcssrs. Editors: | have sought out
and carefully investigated every case | have
heard of, of injury from "the sting of Locusts," ="
and have found each and every one of them to
have been without the slightest foundation.
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan, the parents of
the child supposed to have been alluded to in
the report of the Board of Health, as having
died from the ''sting of a Locust" and they as
sured me that there was not q word Of truth in
it. The child, very intelligent little boy, be-
tween four and five years of age, had been COM
planning of its arm for month or more previ-
Gus to the severe attack that proved fatal The
arm presented no appearance Of Inflammation or
swelling, on the contrary it was cold and very
white. On Friday the child was suddenly seized
with spasms, and died ON Saturday. No one in
the family ever dreamed that it had been in
jured in any way. The family reside in Mont
gomery street, between Charles and Light
streets, north side, and requested me to use
their names in contradicting this extraordinary
report.
The case of the young man, who, report says,
had been obliged to have his arm amputated at
the infrmary, in consequence of the sting of a
locust, | am authorized by the resident medical
gentlemen at that institution to say is utterly
untounded III fact, no such case having occurred
there. | have also investigated numerous cases
of persons currently reported as lying danger
ously sick from the sting of the locust, every
one of which have found to be either en- tirey
fabulous or founded upon the grossest error,
some of them not having been sick at all, others
being sick of scarlet fever or some other such
disease, but not one ever having been stung by
a locust.
| have been anxious to elicit the truth in this
matter. | have not taken all this labor to sat
isfy myself, for | knew it to be impossible for
the insect to intiict any injury upon any man or
child. All insects that really have "a sting"
afford very convincing points of this fact very
promptly; the humble-bee and the honey-bee
will speedily convince any one that doubts, on
the slightest examination.
The locusts are now doing all the injury they
are capable of by deposting their eggs in the
branches of trees and shrubbery. They will all
have disappeared by the 25th June. After the
process of depositing their eggs is completed,
they fly about for n day or two and then die
being then no longer proper food for any thing,
they will be found dead upon the ground in
every direction.
l would be glad if the newspapers generally
would copy this article, or notice the facts
stated, that this error in natural history may
not go to our successors in the official form it
has now for the first time assumed by obtaining
the sanction of the Board of Health.

The Austrians terribly afraid of the dem
ocratic clubs and publications at Hamburg.
Every meeting advertised by club of that de-
nomination has been prevented on their insti-
cation, by the police; nevertheless, their guards
and patrols are increased, and all the soldiers
who are mounting guard or on a parade are
loading their muskets, ready to fire at a mo-
ment's notice. The regiments in the neighbor-
hood, too, got orders to march upon Hamburg
at the first signal given to them. Hitherto,
however, they had no occasion, because nobody
thinks of creating any disturbance.

AS homcward went, through the nightwind and snow
sound reached my ear-'twas the language of woe;
On cold stone step, at the door of the proud,
crouched form lay shivering and muttering aloud
'Oh where shall l wander-fnd refuge for mel
I'm a wreck-a lost wreck, a merciless seal"
Through riffs in the clouds the moonlight looked on
The same silent moonlight that silvered the lawn
She skipped when chld-where a woman she roved
And listened the accents she trusted and loved;
The same quiet moonlight she'd best, in the cot
Or woodbine and roses-no moment forgot
Where she dwelt with him long, but knew rest,
For the guilt and that weighed her breast
Her pale forehead pressed to the pitiless stone,
And alject, hcart-broken, she thus male her moan
mo morning, no evening brings solace to me-
I'm II wreck-a lost wreck, a mercess sea.'
knelt by her sde and | called her by name
She answered me not for her and shame
She writhed and she trembled in wildness of grief,
And pressed her cold hands on her brow for relief
Her large eyes upturned to the gloom of the sky,
She'd bite her white lips to repress the keen sigh,
Or tear her rich trosses, disheyeed and Wild
And call herself " ruin and misery's child"
And cry-and no tone more despairing could be

moved her by force from the cold and the Wind
She lived, to recover the calm of her mind
To thank me, and carry from many door
The blessings and prayers of the erring and poor;

AMUSING SoENE.-A few weeks since, while
court was sitting at Paris, in Lamar county,
Texas, and while the tavern of Mr.. Tucker was
filled with lawyers, litigants, witnesses, &c., a
robbery was committed upon the premises,
attended with ludicrous circumstances. Mr..
Tucker and his numerous guests retired to their
beds at the usual hour and after night OF
profound and undisturbed slumber awoke every
mothers son of them, coatless and pantaloons-
less; some daring thief had entered their sleep
ing apartments, and had distracted and carried
off every rag Of clothing belonging to every
soul in the house. The Bonham advertiser init
mates that when the fact was known, and the
thing understood, series of tableaur uiuants, of
the most ludicrously interesting nature, were
offered by the garmentless lodgers the sufferers
themselves laughing long and heartily at the
ridiculous figures each other cut while shyine
and dodging about in search of their missing
clothing. 1t was not long, however, before the
missing garments were found stacked in the
public square, whittier the burglar had carried
them; and now came the serious feature of the
business-every pocket had been rummaged,
every red cent TAKEN all were empty. Several
emigrants had lost all their money, and the
lawyers attending the court were reduced to a
par with the clients who had the day before
lined their pockets for them.
