PROFESSOR WEBSTER.

! From new and full report ofthe trial
OF Pr f.ssor Webster, prepared by Mr..
George Bemis, one Of the counsel in the
case, weiake the following extract Of
conversation held between Mr.. Andrews
and the criminal, on the Sunday prece-
ding his execution:
"Th:s subject Qhe arrangements rela-
tive 10 the execution, and the disposition
of his body afterwards being disposed OF,
Professor Webster then went on TO say:
"Mr. Andrews, consider this whole
thing perfect justice! The officers Of the
law are right! Everybody is right, and
an wrong! And | feel that il The iel.
ding up of my life to tho injured law will
atone, even in part, for tie crime have
committed, that is consolationH
Subsequently 10 the above interview,
and two days before the execution, Sheriff
Eveleih called upon the prisoner, 10 pre-
pare him for The final discharge of his
official duty, and heard from him decla-
rations very similar to those jus. repor-
ted.
The Sheriff, in the course Of The con
ycrsation, in allusiOn TO the suggestion
that lad been made VI the possibility Of
suicide, remarked that he inferred from
the pofessoi's statements that he entel-
tanned no idea Of attempting TO avoid the
execution by any act Of his own-"Why
should II" replied P.ofessor Webster.
GAN the proceedings in my case have
been just! The court discharged her
duty! The law-oflicers of the common.
wealth did their duty, and no more!-
The verdict of the jury was just The
sentence Of The court was just; and il is
Just that should die on The scaffold, in
accordance with that sentence"
II will be remembered that certain Of
our contemporaries, at the time Of the
trial, were quite indignant at tho alleged
unfarness aud injustice shown towards
the prisoner by the Massachusetts, author
tiles. But it will be seen by the above
that the professor did no, agree with
them-and he ought to have known
whether fair.play was shown hm.-Phl.

Mr.. EwINe AND PRosCRIPTrcN.-The
able Washington correspondent, Of the
Baltimore Sun, says:
The late administration was not spared
to day IN the comparison drawn between
lis professions and practices. lis ruthless
prescription was, with much point and
force, made apparent to every one. why
could not the removal Of Gen. Lane, ioT
instance, have been put, by those who
removed him, on the true ground-that
the administration wanted his Office for
political friend! Mr.. Ewing made a
lime attempt 10 vinti;aie some OF the
removals by the late administration, on
grounds other than mere party grounds.

We can only promise perseverance in

and the best incentive to il will be the
continued support Of the profession, both
a, home and in the Canadas, where, CO
also in Great Britain, there has, of late,
been large demand for the Law Maya

We shall best show gratitude for the

worthy Of the kindness and confidence
that have been so largely bestowed.
We cannot let pass this opportunity pl

STEAMBOAT DISASTER ON THE WEST.

STEAMBOAT DISASTER ON THE WEST.
ERN WArERs.--The annual statement
Of the marine disasters on the waters
Of the South and West shows that
during the year 1850 there we're fifty.
three vessels totally lost. of which
lhirty.three were sunk, fourteen burnt,
and six destroyed by explosion. The
number OF accidents was one hundred
and seventeen. The number OF per.
sons killed was nearly ssrcn hundred,
and probably half of that number
were wounded. The amount Of cap.
ital destroyed from these accidents
exceeds one and half millions Of
dollars. The chief disasters befeIl
the steamers Griffith. Belle Of the
West. Anthony Wayne, Antoine,te
Douglass, Knoxville, and the Anglo
Norman. The number Of lives lost
by these six disasters was nearly four
hundred and fifty.
MEDICAL USE OF SALT.-1n many
cases OF disordered stomach, a tea.
poonful Of salt is a certain cure. In
the violent internal pain, termed cho.
lie, a tcaspoonful Of salt, dissolved in
a pint Of cold water, taken as soon as
possible, with short nap immediate.
Y after, is one Of the most etlectual
and speedy remedies known. The
same will relieve a person who seems
almost dead from receiving a heavy
fall. In an apop'etic fit, no time
should be lost in pouring down salt
water, if sufficient sensibilitv remains
to allow of swallowing; if not, the
head must be sponged with cold water
until the sense returns, when the salt
will completely restore the patien,
from the le,hargy. IN case Of severe
bleeding a. the lungs, and when other
remedies failed. DR.. Rush found tina,
two teapoonsful of salt completely
stayed the blood.
