LAST MOMENTS OF MIR. WEBSTER.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct, "a

A messenger from Marshfeld says
During the day, Saturday. Mr.. Webster
conversed freely, and with great clearness
and detail. relative to his private affairs,
the condition Of his farm, and stating flu
ture plans fully. AT S o'clock, he was
seized with violent nausea, and raised
considerable dark matter tinged with
blood. Great exhaustion ensued. The
Physicians announced to Mr.. Webster
that his last hour was approaching. lie
received the announcement camly. calling
all the females of his family around him
he addressed a few words Of farewell to
each; he then called the males, and per
sonal friends, and addressed them indi
vidually, referring TO their past relations
He then babe them and affectionate fare
well, calling the richest blessings Of Heay'
en- upon them all. Mr.. Webster said, as
if speaking to himself, "On the Gath o
October. all that's mortal of Daniel Web
ster will be no more" then prayed, in g
full clear voice, ending with "Heayenly
Father forgive my sins, and receive me tc
Thyself, through Christ Jesus" He Their
conferred with DR.. J%effres, who said he
could do nothing more. Mr.. Webster
said, "then | am TO be here patiently unit
the end be, so may it come soon." a
Between 12 and 1 o'clock, MIR. Web
ster repeated indistinctly, some words o
the Poetry Of Gray. Fletcher Webster
repeated to him the first line of the Elegy
"The Curlew tolls the knell Of parting
day." That's it-that's it-said Mr.
Webster. The book was then brought
and several stanzas were read, which gav'
evident pleasure.
From l to 2 Mr.. Webster showed mucl
resllessness, suffering and faintness nov
occurred, which led him to think dealt
was near. While in this condition, som
expressions fell from him. indicating tha
his mind would remain with him to tn
last. Mr.. Webster spoke OF the difficult
of dying, when DR.. Jeffries repeated tn
verse. Though | walk through the vale
of the shadow of Death | will fear no evil
for Thou art with me, Thy rod and TIL
--eF they comfort me-" Mr.. Webste
SAID lmIiea,-.riv 1.-The fact, the fact-tha
is what meant. 'Iny ii. Thy rod

perfectly tranquil and easy.

SHIP LAUNcH-Trilling Scene.-Afi fine
looking MI fiegsd sloop Of ninety tons,
designed fof the canal and coasting trade,
was launched from the ~ship-yard 81 VIM.
Rice, on Saturday. She bears the beau.
tiful name Of "Mary." A scene that OK.
cited a thrill ofshorror in the midst Of the
spectators, occurred about the time Of the
launch. As the vessel glided from her
ways, her progress was suddenly stopped
by contact with the bottom. The force Of
the conclusion, threw from the cross.tres,
a person who to win q little notoriety, by
a fool-hardy display OF daring, had. taken
a position there, and but for a proyidential
interference, almost miraculous, he must
have been killed by comingin contact with
the deck below. In his rapid and fearful
descent, one Of his feet became entangled
in a coil Of the pennant h~alliards, which
in all probability saved his life, by sus.
pending him head downward in the air.
In that position he swung to the after part
of the vessel, until coming in contact with
the peak halliafds, he seized them with
one hand and after freeing his entangled
foot, descended by the halliards in safety
to the deck, we trust with a lesson Of pru.
duce gathered by the way. Another per.
son at the masthead for the purpose OF
throwing her colors to the breeze as she ap.
preached the element, maintained his posi-.
ton unframed, by an unyielding embrace

but under peril Of denunciation as 9 spy,
and the exclusion Of any vessel on which
he may be on board, from the ports and
harbors Of Cuba, he has committed no Of
fence at all. II on the other hand. the
authorities of Cuba mean TO assert the
absurd doctrine expressed above, the Uni
ted States will, certainly, not submitto it.
This excels Austria in absurd pretension;
and would really put Louis Napoleon to
the blush. Even the London Times can
avail itself Of the ammunition Of a cores
pondent in Paris, and launch its thunders
at the Imperial President from the same
artillery. And, moreover, we shall find in
it a precedent for our ''great revenge"
Just imagine how Intellectually we have
smarted under the irreverent satire OF a
Trollope, a Fidler and a Dickens. And
al this very moment, preparing ourselves
for another infliction at the hands Of Mr..
Thackaway, or some gentleman Of like

these things? In the name Of the prophet,
no. Let US order off Cunarder or any.
thing else that would turn loose upon our
shores another Of these pestilent observers
Of our little peccadillos, or great ones
either. They may not find us thrusting
men and women into dungeons for daring
to think and speak about government or
anything else. They may not detect us
in the midst of a little entertainment with
a platoon Of musketry and some half dozen
gallant fellows stuck up for a target, some
fine morning before breakfast. But then
they hare seen us going through the intri.
cate and fearful process Of a Presidential
election. They hare heard the thunder.

universal tendency Of our people to dis
solve into a plenteous rain of tobacco
juice; and to these things, although they
have descanted upon them perhaps with
a cruel design against the stability Of oul
institutions, we have innocently submitted
when it is quite clear, according to the
law of nations as interpreted by Spain
we might have spanked them well. and
hustled them out at the narrows adrilt in
cock-boat.
The fact is. Cuba is acting towards the
United States at the instigation OF senti
ments not warranted by the relations ex'
listing between the two governments. The
bearing Of the Cuban officials is an offence
against the national integrity OF the Uni
ted States. And it is quite clear that the

SINGULAR RoBBERY.-A few days since,
while Mr.. Francis Bell was engaged in
dividing and weighing cattle, a lotot.co,..
approached his coat, which was hanging
on a fence, and distracted a pocket book
containing a large sdm Of money. When
Mr.. Bell discovered the robbery, the colts
were busily engaged masticating the pre-.
cious provender, which was scattered all
over the ground. Upon counting the notes
left. one hundred and Uty dollars were
missing, while q large amount were 50
mutilated as to render its value doubtful.
