Mr.. Webaer.-A Washington letter in the

New York Courier says:
Much and sincere qualification was felt and
expressed here, in all 1.-the political and diploma
tic circles. at the intelligence, announcing the
release ofthe Cuban prisoners. To the discre-
ton, zeal and energetic action of Mr.. Webster,
are those men, and their families and friends,
almost exclusively indebted for this happy deli
verance. And if he is to receive no more SUBJ
%stantial token of public gratitude for a service,
deserving so much consideration, he will, at
least, enjoy the consolation of having carried
happiness to hundreds of fresides, where DESC
lation brooded and hope was hardly permitted
to be cherished. In this, as in all other matters
affecting the rights, interests and honor Of Ills
countrymen, Mr. Webster has acted under a
noble and elevated sense of duty, and fulfilled
every obligation, which patriotism or humanity
might claim, with a manly disregard of person.
al consequences, and an earnest purpose to do
right, at every hazard. There is reason to
anticipate, that the same lenity will be extern
ded towards Mr.. Thrashel which has been so
literally and wisely exercised in the present. in
stance. And one Of the natural and proper re-
suits of this policy, will be to cement more
closely the friendly relations between Spain
and the United States, and to arrest that buc-
caneering spirit which eupidity encouraged in
the expeditions against Cuba.

The Yare of Sugar Hogsheads.

The following are the preamble and resolu-
tons, adopted at the Meeting in the Parish of
St. James, relative to the attempt to raise the
tare of sugar hogsheads:
Whereas, various experiments recently made
by members of this assembly, prove evidently
| that the conventional tare of 10 per cent, as
actually established, far from falling short of
| the real tare of common sized hogsheads, ex-
ceeds it on the contrary, by several pounds:
| whereas, said tare causes. to the sugar planter,
a loss, which is still increased by the mode OF
weighing generally followed by brokers'. and
whereas, the proposition made by merchants OF
| Cincinnati and New Orleans, TO raise said tare
to IL per cent, is not only unjust, but detri-
mental to the sugar industry ofLouisana, there
fore,
Resolved. That the sugar planters OF this
parish are of opinion that the actual tare OF 10 per
| cent, should be maintained, although it is far
from being to their advantage; and that they
protest most solemnly against any increase OF
said tare.
Resolved, That rather than submit to the ex-
action of the merchants of Cincinnati and New
Orleans, they would prefer acting as Western
dealers do with their produce, and tare their
hogsheads themselves, in order to obtain there
by the real weight of each hogshead.
Resol0ed, That the present mode of weigh
ing our molasses has caused us, for years past,
a positive loss of at least half a pound per
gallon, and that it would be more equitable that
molasses, when weighed, should be sold by the
pound, and not by the gallon.
Resolred, That the sugar planters in every
parish of this State are hereby invited to meet
together, in the shortest delay, and protest
against the resolutions passed at Cincinnati
and New Orleans, by certain sugar dealers. sit
ting the tare at IL per cent.
The following resolutions were adopted at
the Meeting in Assumption, upon the same
subject:
RESOLVED, That the committee consider the
tax of 10 per cent, on sugar, as already too
high in a majority of cases. That we have
borne it without a murmur, but, that we con-
slider an increase as an enroachment upon our
rights, and as unfair in commercial relations.
Resolred, That the increase of tare from 10
to II per cent, is a departure from the old STAN
dard long existing in the sugar market in New
Orleans, and ought and must be resisted bv
every sugar-growing parish in the State.
RESOLVED, That if the Chamber of Commerce
should see fit to increase the tare as proposed
by the sugar buyers in New Orleans, we res
p~ectfully submit to the Chamber, that we NAV
be allowed the sam privilege accorded to sell
lers of Western produce, viz: the weighing of
the packages before their delivery in market.

The State and the Ranks.-Our esteemed
and energetic fellow-eitizen, C~HR1sropHER
ADAMS, Jr., President of the Union Bank, has
reported to the Legislature, according to law,
she amount of bonds and interest coupons for
which the faith of the State was pledged which
have been redeemed by said bank. From the
receipt of the Governor, countersigned BY the
Secretary ofstate and of the Attorney General,
it appears that 1864 bonds, of $1,000 each and
2l,7o6 interest coupons, $25 each, making a
total Of $2,4o6,e5 were paid off by the Union
Bank, which extinguishes so much of the obi
cations contracted by the State. This is a tell.
ing illustration of what a bank may do, when its
affairs are conducted in a proper way.

Col. S. M. d. Clark.--It will be perceived
that this gentleman, one of our able Senators,
is upon the Levee Committee, than which there
is not a more important topic (among the ma
NY to engross the attention ofthe present Leg
~lsIature. The protection of our plantations and
villages from inundation, which have been SO

serious consideration Of the Assembly of our
State, but the wiseist and ablest Of the public
servants, to inquire into and devise measures
speedy and effective, to insure permanent safe

respect, may congratulate themselves that Col.
CLARK is upon the Levee Committee. We are
confident that his views and conclusions upon
the subject, are the result of long experience,
vigilant inquiry and study, and whatever he
may recommend, we are convinced that it will
be the best mode--effectual and lasting, and
not transitory--which human wisdom can de-
wise. Doubling not that he will be Chairman
of the Levee committee, we shall await with
much impatienee to see the report upon this sub
ject which may be expected to emanate from

bear the resources of a master mind and a well

liant, as we'll as useful, Senatorial career.
The reelection Of the Hon. GEORGE C. Nc
WHoRTER to the honorable and responsible
position Of State Treasurer, has been a source
of unmixed qualification to his friends, and they
are as numerous as his merits. As an officer, he
has been faithful, efficient and prompt-as a
Wing, he has ever been active, Jealous and
trustworthy, and as an upright, scrupulously
honorable, heightened gentleman, he has no SUI
perior in the State. The members of the Wing
reflected credit upon themselves by un-
animously nominating him for reelection, as
did the Legislature by re-electing him by a
large majority.
