Tremendous cheers were then given
for Mr. Webster, the Constitution, and
the Union.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Webster's
remarks, whilst from the windows above
and around him, bouquets in great pro-
fusion fell upon him from the hands of
the fair forms that occupied them. This
mark of approval on the part of his fair
hearers, drew from Mr.. Webster the re-
mark which is more true than poetic
The Ladies-God bless them, they are
all for the Union.
Mr.. Webster then retired to his room,
accompanied by the committee, and the
mass outside slowly dispersed.
AS will be seen by Mr. Webster's re-.
marks, he hopes soon to address his fell
low citizens more at large upon the al
fairs of the nation. HIS counsels, there.

MARYLAND AND PENNsyLvAN1A.-
The MitcheN Requisation Cause.-The
following is the report made to the Re-
form Convention, on Tuesday, by Mr..
Sellers, from the committee to whom the
SUBJ was referred:
The committee to whom was referred
the subject Of the requisition of the
Governor Of Pennsylvania upon the
Governor ofthis State, for the deliver
ing of James S. Mitchell, beg leave to re-
port that they have had the same under
consideration, and have come to the
conclusion that the Governor of this
State did right in refusing to deliver said
Mitchell to the authorities of the State
of Pennsylvania, and that he deserves
the thanks of the good people of this
State for the frmness he has manifested
in his refusal to deliver citizen of Mary
land to an I'm Just and unconstitutional
demand made by the Governor of Penn
sylvania.
They beg leave further to report that
they have understood that two citizens
of the State OF Pennsylvania, who act
ed as agents of James S. Mitchell in
capturing his slaves, have been convict
ed of the crime of kidnapping, and sem
fenced to the penitentiary Of that State.
Believing, as your committee do, that
the taking and delivering to the said
Mitchell. by the said agents, of the child
of the fugitive slave woman of the said
Mitchell, was not a crime under the fed
eral constitution, but direct violation
thereof, and feeling, as they do, the
deepest sympathy for the said agents
they beg aeave to report the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the Executive ofthis
State be requested to instruct the Attor-
ney General to cause such proceedings
to be set on foot, as that the case of sand
agents may be brought before the Su-
preme Court of the United States for its
adjudication.
Resolved further, That 1000 copies
of the correspondence between the Gov
ernor of this State and the Governor of
Pennsylvania, with the accompanying
documents, be printed for the use Of the
members of the Convention.

SPRING BoNNETs. The Home Jour-
nal says we hear generally that there is
greater variety in the styles and ma
terials of the spring bonnets, than has
been noticed for several years. The
governing materials are of coarse straw
and fresh dewy spring howers-with
the revival ofnew and elegant forms of
Tuscan oraids and Neapolitans. The
latter material has been etherialized in
to most delicate and exquisite fabric,
much thinner and more transparent
than the old, and wrought into forms of
incredible grace and fneness. Light
silk and Grape hats are also in great va
riety, but with general tendency 10 a
subdued simplicity. The shape of the
bonnet is now reduced to the most per.
feet form Of beauty-the crown small,
low and receding, and the front grace.
fully opened and expended on each tenn
pie, with decided undulating depres-
sion on the top. The style of inside
trimming is very fresh and lovely. AL
together, we think the new spring bon
net the prettiest thing Of the kind we
have ever seen. May Heaven soon
give us some beautiful weather, so that
our pretty lady butterflies may sport
these new and exquisite attenne in the
street.

CECIL COUNTY CoUgT.-Agreeably 10
adjournment Cecil county court met on
Tuesday last, Judge Eccleston on the
Bench. On Wednesday morning, on
motion of Ohio Scott, Esq, it adjourn
ed again, until Monday next, at 70
o'clock, in consequence Of the death of
Archbishop Eccleston, brother of the
Judge.
The Judge thanked the bar for re.
questing an adjournment, and made
some touching remarks, in which he al
luded to the death of his brother, and sta
ted that the recent affections four deaths
in his family, we understand, in six
weeks which had befallen him, warn
ed him that as the only surviving mem
Der Of his fathers family, he soon must
meet the fate of those who have prece-
ded him to the grave.
The only business done, was the
commencement of the trial between the
heirs of Jehu Harlan and Robert Carter,
in relation to a water right. This is
stated to be an important case, and we
thought the lawyers seemed determin-
ed to exert themselves in it. The case
is of this nature:-the former parties al
lese that the latter, by his mill-dam,
backs the water too far up on their mill
wheel, while the latter alleges that he
backs it up no farther than he has a
right to do. 1t may occupy the Court
several days.

despatch, dated
WASHINGTON, April 20, 1851.
Dispatches were yesterday received from Mr..
McCurdy, U. S. Charge at Vienna, Of the date
of March goth, stating that the Austrian Gov
! eminent had refused the application ofthe Sui
tan for permission to release Kossulh and the
Hungarian patriots, his companions, from con-
| hnenent. BY a compact existing between Aus
tria and Turkey, the latter power was charged
with and accepted the surveillance fthese I'M
fortunate exiles, numbering several hundreds;
but finding the expense Of their maintenance be-
coming burdensome, she apl he'd 10 he released
from the incumbfance.
Permission was granted in reference 10 all ey-
cept kossuth and eight or ten others. This de-
cision was communicated before intelligence
reached Vienna respecting the recent action of
our Government. An urgent appeal will be adj
dressed TO Austria on this subject.
The Arcl-Duke, the brother Of the Emperor
who is to command the Austrian navy, will visit
the United States in the course ofthc wear, to
examine our public yards and modes of naval
construction, and, doubtless, make himself ac-
quainted with the character Of our institutions
generally.
The public rumors in regard to the apprc-
hended Cuban invasion are greatly exaggerated
No doubt project has been formed, but very
lmperlectly. Inc Government has taken every
precaulion to put down the movement, should
any be attempted; and the intelligence received
by telegraph from all the federal officers In the
South justifes the conviction that it must fail
and be abandoned. No expedition can leave the
United States successfully. tt act ofCongress
and our duty under the treaty with Spain will
be faithfully executed by the Administration.
The late French Ambassador and his family
will leave the United States on the lilh of May.
Lady Bnlwer will visit England in the same
steamer.
