WAsHINeToN CRY, January 1853.

Dy- Sir, Mr.. Webster, years ago, emanci-
pated negro man named s. WILLIAM" with
whose good service ssbody servant" up to the
death bed at Marshfeld, you may be acquainted,
and whom ne 80 kindly mentioned in his will. He
enjoyed the esteem of his kind master, and it
was Mr.. WEBsTER's expressed intention to have
also emancipated his wife, 8. DAPHNE,o a slave in
this District. This, with many other intended
testimonials of individual regard, was postponed
by pressure of official business, and finally ar
rested by the relentless hand of death.
Circumstances of recent occurrence render it
necessary that "DAPHNE'' be sold by her present
owner, and CIVILIAN" is grieved to learn that
she may be sent to the South, whilst be can only
obtain livelihood here, in other city where
servants of his class are needed. A knowledge Of
all these facts have induced the Subscribers (sus-
tanned by other admirers of the Great Statesman
to solicit subscriptions from gentlemen who may
be disposed to aid in good deed, to pay tribute
of regard to a faithful domestic, and to carry out
the wishes of his benfactor.
Any sum you may be pleased to- contribute ma y
be enclosed to RICHARD SMITH esq, Cashier OF the
Bank of the Metropolis, who has consented to act
as treasurer. Acknowledgements will be made IN
the public prints; and, should there be any sur
plus, it will be given to WILLIAM.
! Very respectfully, your obedient servants,
CHARLES LANMAN, =
