Mr.. WEBsTERs WASHINGTON HOUSEHOLD
FURNITURE AT AUcTIoN.-We give elsewhere in
this paper catalogue Of the articles of the late
Mr.. Webster's household and kitchen furniture
OF his establishment at Washington, and the
prices affixed. which the said articles brought
at auction. Considering the worldwide repu-
tation OF the great statesman, and the future
historical value Of anything which may have
belonged to his goods and chattels, we had sup
posed that those effects Of his house at Washing
ton would have brought much higher range
of figures. But Washington was already full Of
the household relics of Presidents, Vice-Pre-
sidents, cabinet officers foreign minister's
&C., sold at auction from time to time: and
among them are, no doubt, many Of the
housekeeping articles that did good service
at various times for Daniel Webster Then
too, we must remember, that the advent
OF new administration overstoeks the
auction marts of Pennsylvania avenue with
secondhand furniture, and that, on such occa-
sions, It goes often to the lowest bidder. About
these times. for example. the members of the
late cabinet are selling out, and large number
OF their subordinates, high and low will soon
be following their example. The new set com.
ing in buy portion of these remains Of their
predecessors but they also make new c0ntribu-
tons to the general supply. These periodical
changes including the supplies added to the
stock on hand by members of Congress, and
sold out by them when they leave, make the
city Of Washington the most abundantly sup
piled and the cheapest market for second hand
furniture and secondhand politicians in the
world. Now is the time to buy.

A MISTAKE IN THE MAN-We cheerfully give
place to the following correction of mistake in
the editorial columns of yesterdays HERALD
The reader will please bear in mind that i" the
author of the Eleazer Williams humbug" is not
the Rev. Mr.. Hanson of the Methodist EPISCOPAL
church. who enjoys little clerkship at Wash
ington, but it is the Rev. Mr.. Hanson. an
officiating priest in DR.. Hawkes. church, in this
city,
New YORK, March 10, 1853.
The editor Of the HERALD will find, on inquiry.
that Rev J. H. Hanson author Of the Eleazer Will
liams humbug, is neither Methodist clergyman nor
clerk at Washington, as stated in to-day's paper
but he IL priest OF the Protestant Episcopal church
and assistant minister TO Rev. DR.. Hawkes., of Calya-
ry church, in this city
Shortly after the reception of the above note
the Rev. Mr.. Hanson, accompanied by another
highly respectable and intelligent gentleman,
called at this Office and, at their instance, the
writer Of this article, and another of our edi-
torial bureau, went up, last night. to see the
Rev. Mr.. Williams, at his quarters, between
Twenty eighth and Twenty -ninth streets, on
Fourth avenue. We found at the house the
Rev, Mr. Hanson and his friend and the Rev.
Mr.. Williams, and two young men of the Genet
family Various books portraits, and papers
were produced, in confederation Of the Bourbon
story; and Mr.. Eleazer Williams an evident
believer in his Bourbon origin, kindly consented
to be closely examined. He certainly, by gas
light, looks like a Frenchman, and has the
apple-shaped head, apex up. of the royal Bour-
bons The collateral evidence Brought forward
IN his case was consistent and very curious
but we await its publication before submitting
any further opinion upon the "Elcazer Williams
humbug"

2,5UO Acres Timber Land
TSR SAEE.


SEvERAL VALUABLE TRACTS OF
- TIMBER LAND, comprising about $500
acres part Of which is situated on Tobyhunna
Creek, and part on Muddy Creek within three
miles of Lchigh River, in Penn forest township
Carbon County, one Of the great Goal Counties
of Pennsylvania, can be had at bargain, If ap.
pication he made soon. f,
These lands are thickly covered with the best
timber of that region. While it is believed that
10000 feet OF lumber TO the acre, can be cut from
large portion of the land, the balance will aver
age not much less Than this figure. The kinds of
timber found on the land are Hcmlock, Spruce or
White Cedar, White Oak, White Pine and
Chestnut-but principally made up of White
Pine and Hemlock.
The Tobyhauna and Muddy Greeks are large
and rapid streams, yielding vast amount of
water power, and are capable of driving large
number OF saw mills. They empty into the I.chigh,
which stream with the l.chigh Canal alloids an
outlet TO the most desirable lumber markets.
There is, too, under contemplation a railway
leading TO the cities of New York and Philadelphia
which runs within one mile and three GRayteyS of
the land. Through these avenues lumber can be
delivered in either of Ike cities named for about
81 per thousand fcct-thus enabling persons en-
gagged in the trade to derive gre1tcr profits than
attend investments generally.
In addition to the timber, convertible into
ry shape of lumber there is much that will an
swer for spars of vcsscls---a sort of timber that
ship.builders have hecn Obliged to purchase in
Maine, or at other distant points.
Unlike most of the lands on the Lchgh there
has, as yet, been no culling of the timber this
property. 1t stands undsturbcd by the wood
mans axe. 1t is, therefore, the more valuable.
The lumber trade of the Lchigh has been carried
on to such extent for years past, thaa scarcity
of good timber is beginning TO he felt Every
season necessarily increases this difficulty. The
consequence must he an enchant cmcnt of the
value Of timber lands. Those un-culled tracts
with the advantage of avenues TO p.arket, such
as the lands offered for sale, possess, cannot fail
to he the sources of supply hercailer.
| But the land is not alone valuable for the tim
her it contains 1t is of good quality for farming
nearly every acre being susceptible of high
state of cultivation.
| Capitalists desiring to make investments, would
do well to turn their attention TO these lands. Fol
