Mr. Hale will draw strongly from the whig party
while the bulk of Mr. Webslers friends will not support
Gen. Scott under any circumstances, il Mr. Webster
should not be nominated at ALL but rather vote for Pierce
and King and the constitution.
Mr. Webster arrived here yesterday. but quietly left
for Marshfeld, slightly attacked by rheumatism his an.
nual complaint from which, however, he hopes to re-
cover on his farm. Mr.. Webster il nominated
will draw some four five thousand votes from the whg
party and the best portion OF the military chest and
muuition OF war There is bitter feeling against Scott
among the wings Of the old Bay Stale and an apprehen-
sion that, should he be elected, he would get the country
into trouble. The business here in State, Kilby
and Wlk Streets and along the wharves have no conf
dence in him, and most decidedly opposed to being
bled by the Scott politicians though the latter have had
the precauton to put but Webster on the State
ticket. .s...

Singular Results of m Accident

A curious prosecution. for damages was brought before the Supreme Court of Boston. last week, by Miss Ann Clark. who sued the city for $2o .0oO damages for injuries received from falling into a cellar way in Hawkins street, on the last night of the railroad jubilee. The tes- timony of the Massachusetts General Hospital physician where Miss Clark .has remained for nearly the whole time since the accident. discloses thelollo wing singular result {:
 { Miss Clark is about nineteen years of age previous to the accident she was employeda as .worsted worker at Maiden, and enjoyed,goed4 health On the last evening of. tte Railroad Jubilee. sEe proceeded with some friends to witness the fire works in Bowdoin square On their return. home they passed through Chardon and Hawkins street, where she fell through cellar way which had ac- cidentally been left open after the grade of the street and. sidea ak had been al' tered. Alter she was taken out she complained of a feeling as if she had been struck in the stomach.
 The nexs day she proeeededs to, her work at Maiden, was there seized with vomiting, and violent pains ia- the stom- ach she returned to this city, was con veyed to the Massachusetts General Hos pital. where she has femained ever since. The physicians say that in her fall she received an injury 10 her spine: and the result siss that she cannot keep upon her stomach but very small quantity of foods an amount barely sufficient to sus. tain life, but not enoughsto stay the era. wings If appetite.

 After some further explanations, Gen eral Haynau observed that he had been spoken of as a severe and harsh man He would admit, he said, thas he had shown severity, but it was in the consci- entious performance of lis duty.-He was at the head of brape troops, afdsntly devoted to- tlaeir sovereign, and it became Fbim to act with energy as the best means of bringing to close a war which had so many difficulties to contend with. II regard war" he added, "as the greatest sec urge that can be inflicted on huuAn- Eity and consider that severity which is likely to hasten tie triumph of one of the contending parties is the best sort of Humanity that can be practiced." He then alluded te the charge that had been brought agains. h,m of having. in cold blood, ordered at one time the execution of eighteen persons.
 These persons. he said, were condemned by the military tribunals. after a patient examination into the charges against them. He had nothing to do with their condemnation. He had the power, in- deed, of preventing the execution. but | the circums stances were not such as to make clemency consistent with duty. An example was necessary, and he al> lowed justice to take it's course.

Letter from Archbishop Hughes.

The following letter from the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York, is in reply to Mir. T. J, Ssmmes, of Louisiana, who had asked the Archhishop's advice about the duty of the Roman Catholics in the coming election. The answer is discreet and dignifed ;:
 NEw YORK, September IF, 1852.
 Dear sir have read through. and carefully. the letter which you have ad- dressed to me, under date of the llth inst, in regard to the impending election of President of the United States, and the part which you think the Catholic citizens of the republic ought to take in 1t. The two candidates presented are General Scott and General Pierce. The entire Anne, can people appear to. be nearly equally divided in opirion, as to wEich of these two will make the better chief magistrate. This fact seems to intimate- a general opinion that the coun- try will be safe under the four years Presidency of either. As to the Catho- lies. they have never been, consulted as to the limited choice bet@een. these two. The probability is. that. like their fellow citlzens of other denominations, they will be diyided--some voting for one candi- date. and some for the other. Like olh> CTS. they are liable to err in their choice, But under all circumstances. should pefer that, voting honestly. each. accor- ding to his own judgment, they should err with the minority, or (what is equally possible, with the majority of their fell low citizens. of all demonstrations, rather 'han see them gualGd against such dan> ger of erring in their choice of President by asy ecclesiastical influence.
 Lam sure that with your enlightened mind and large Catholic education, you will appreciate the reasons on which this my humble opinion is founded, whether ,or not you, will agree with me in regard to it's justice or expectancy. In any event however, l beg leave to subscribe my self your sincere and devoted servant in Xt, l JOHN. Archbishop of New York.

Hhndine: into tLe pulpit a copy of an extra issue from the press. he took his seat tre.nbIing and weeping. The congregation listened
 most attenlively to discourse, uttered with quivering lips from the words oE Solomon. ''Bvast not myself of tomorrow, for tilon knowest not wha, day may bsing: forsha" The subject was illustrated by allusione to the Henry Clay ,tlie Atlantic, and the Rain- l deer; especially did God bring home the
 subject. in this last providence, to the
 preacher who was now occupying the pul.
 pit, andtO the people now listening to him. 1t is no time for U huuians sermoni1sr t0'

 Thus ended the services. and the scene
 which followed may be partially imagined, but cannot be described. IL was one Uni>
 versal burst Of sorrow ands weeping. A
 short season was spent in humiliation- and
 prayer. and delegates were appOintedt to att tend the funeral supposed to take place at the city of New York.
