Mr. Webster's Speech.

The address of MT. Webster before the New York Historical Society, on the even- ing of the 23rd ult., exhibited the great American statesman in new light-that of historical philosopher and an academi- cal critic, and it is the general opinion that he was never exhibited to better advantage. His address, the delivery of which occup- ed about two hours, enchained the profound attention of an immense audience, inter- rupted only by irrepressibe bursts of ap- plause. It showed massiveness of thought, range of learning, aptness ofllustraton and refinement of taste which commanded the most unbounded admiration of each and every listener. He exhibited the most per feet mastery over the works of the ancient historians, and there seemed 10 be no sub- iect too ponderous to be grasped and han died by his great mind. He gave a most beautiful translation of that part of the great oration of PericleS, which paints the glory of Athenian freedom, and while in this and other parts of his address the high sover- eighty of his intellect shone with resplen- dant light; it's close was the outpouring of a soul thrilling with the recollection of the glorious deeds of our fathers, and with a lofty appreciation of the worth ot the Un- ion they established. It was with much truth remarked that no one heard the ad- dress without being impressed with the proud feeling that America could boast at least one orator and patriot worthy ot Rome's pa!miest days.-N. 0.

Desirable Town Property for Sale.

FMYHE undersigned being desirous to change -E- their residence for one they are improving near Helena, propose to sell the property stu- ate in New Helena, embracing three Town Lots fronting on a continuation of Main street. Old Helena, on which there is fine large dwelling house, large kitchen and servants room, a store house, carriage house, stable, hen-housc, wood-house, &c., all in complete order, with a loft over the latter for corn, fodder, &c.
 On the premises is one of the best cisterns ever built in the Mississippi bottoms, good fences and a variety of new and rare Shrubery. Not contiguous to other buildings, which materially enhances the value of Town property for a residence. With a full view ofthe river, and just far enough from the business part of Town for pleasant and heathfu walk.
 We are anxious to sell, and offer bargain; tile warranted; would prefer cash, or negro property, but would give time to suit, if secured; for further particulars apply to

ST. LOUIS AND NEW ORLEANS RAIL
 ROAD,

ROAD.
 We notice in recent number of the "Western Journal," very ably conducted monthly, published at St. Louis, long ar licle on the subject of a Railroad con- nection between St. Louis and New Or leans, and the writer seems to understand not only the importance of such a work, but likewise to know the route such a Road would have to take in order to be accom- pshed.
 The fact is, St. Louis, for part of the year is closed in by ice, and it is but natu- ral that she should be looking for an outlet for all seasons. To accomplish this object, it is proposed that Railroad be built from: that city, west of the Mississippi, until it reaches Helena a,-there cross the river and intersect the New Orleans and Nashville Road at point in the State of Mississippi In the article above alluded to, it is asserted that it is only 275 miles from St. Louis to Helena, where the Road would strike the "Great River," and to which place there is uninterrupted navigation, throughout .he year, with New Orleans. So that, even if the Road was not continued on the eastern side of the Mississippi, every thing would be accomplished that is desired by the peo- pie of St. Louis, .. c. uninterrupted commun- cation the entire year, between the two great commercial cities of the West and South.
 From what we know of the country through which the proposed road would run, we would unhesitatingly say, that better country through which to make Railroad cannot be found in the United States.- It would mostly run parallel with the wa ter-courses;-hence but few bridges would have to be built. The land is high and dry, and for great part of the way almost per- fectly level.
 To carry out the plan of continuation of said Road on the east side of the Missis- sippi River, to connect with the New Or leans and Nashville Road-so as 10 make the chain unbroken would be but to unite with the people of Holly Springs in building Road from their place to Helena, which would only carry out the plan already pro- posed in view of Railroad running from Helena to Fort Smith and Fulton. The truth is, it is 40 or 50 miles nearer from Holly Springs to Little Rock by this place than Ky Memphis, which, in the short dis tance of lGO or ITO miles, is great desid- eratum in time and money.
 But to the St. Louis Road We hope it will not be suffered to rest until accomplish ed. It is, as we before remarked, entirely practicable-can be easily and cheapv built-and will traverse one of the most fer tile portions of the Globe
 The people of St. Louis will meet, we are assured, with hearty cooperation from the people all long the line-and especially by the people of our place.
 We turst that our energetic citizens will at some early day take the matter into ser- ous consideration by having public meet ing, and responding to any demonstration that may hereafter be made by the people ot St. Louis;- surely New Orleans can- not turn deaf ear to project that of it. self alone would build city larger than ev en New Orleans, as it noao is.

 BEAVERS IN THE SoUTH-A corresDon- dent of the Natchez Free Trader, writing from Coplah county, says:
 "At the place from where now write a comparatively y new branch of business has sprung into existence, viz: beaver trapping. Large numbers of beaver exist along the swamps of Bayou Pierre, and one or two gentlemen have taken them with success MT. Anderson, within a few days, caught thirty-five very fine beavers, one of them weighing about sixty pounds. These an- mals have damned up an immense tract of land, and their work has been prepared with a care and strength peculiar only to them selves. They have not been hunted much of late years, and consequently their num- bers have increased to such an extent as 10 rewards the labors of enterprising trappers. 3

A VILLAGE SWEPT AwAY-One Hundred persons Missing heavy rains which fell on Tuesday and Wednesday last, have produced most alarming destruction of life and property in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire. One truly aw- ful calamity has occurred at the village of Holmfrth; near Huddersfeld, by the over flow of a reservoir used for supplying the woolen mills and number of the dwell ngs in the neighborhood with water, and known as the Holme Reservoir. On Thurs day morning, about one o'clock, it burst with tremendous roar, and the water rushed down the valley with terrific force, carrying away an immense mill, built of stone, with all its heavy machinery, etc., several outbuIdings, two rows of new bull diugS at HolmGrtlI, and part ot the village of Henchclif1e Mills Nearly all the inha btants were asleep at the time, and were swept to considerable distance; a number ot bodies having been taken from the river l3 miles from the spot. One hundred per- sons are missing, and more than sixty dead bodies are said to be lying at the inns.
