The Weather.—For some days past the weather lias been remarkably changeable and blustering. Wo have had u high wind for some days from (hd west, and on Saturday morning about 3 o’clock, the ruin poured down in tor rents for a brief period. On Saturday night hail fcllttbnut 8 miles west of us, and a slight float was visible in tbe vicinity of our ehy on Sunday morning. All day yesterday it "as coo), nnd lire and great-coats were comforluble, and in demand. Our Riteu.—Private advices from Augusta inform us that on Friday last tbe water in 'l' 0 river fell 9 feet. At Her hmnn’s Lake it is said to have lacked but 3 feet of being as high as it was during the great freshet oi 1840. GF“ At eleven o’clock last night, no tele graphic despatch had reached us of the news by the steamer Niagara, although we understand that the “associated presses,” the Georgian and Republican, received their despatch on 8ut(ifiiuy night.' This is tKo second thnothat our despatch has failed. On a former occasion it was kept back twenty-four hours, though it had been, as we proved by the letter of our cor respondent and thocertificato of the Baltimore 'operntor, forwarded from the office only fiv* minutes ufter the despatch to the New-Orlcaas Picayune, it being the first despatch forward ed of the news. Wo shall find out whether this has been the rase in the present instance or Hot Him if it has, we will endeavor also to find out what advantage, and if any, (ho full extent tif the Advantage etijoyed by “monopoly" over individual enterprise in obtaining despatches over tire telegraphic wires. Railroad Accident.—Tbe passenger train on the Central Railroad was detained on Fri day night last, in. consequence of an accident whieh occurred near the 9th mile post, 8ortion No. 1. The switch having been removed by some persop unknown, the whole train of pas sengers and baggage cats wipe thrown off the track. A man by tbe name of Cotter, a train band on the road, was severely though not dan gerously injured. None of the passengers were hurt. The injury to the engine and cars was incon-idcrable. The switch bad been mdved r | doubtlessly wijh malicious intent, but a short time previous to - tbe arrival of the train, as an up train had pass ed over it but a short time before. The down train bad been detained by a slight wash in tbe road and did not reach the point indicated un til after dark, or the accident would have boon avoided by the usual watchfulness of the eii- ginc-irmn. It is to be hoped that the perpetrator of so base *n act, by which the lives of innocent, per sons wire endangered, may bn detected and subjected to the punishment which his heart- lessaeas so richly deserves. T a e At he tffeu m —It will itesHn that Mr. Hudson, the popular Irish Oommedian, com mence* an engagement at the Athei.eum to night. Mr H. is unrivAiled in his peculiar line of character*, and is said to bo nearer to the lamented Power as a fAitfcful VleKiieator 6f Irish character, than any other actor who has succeeded him. Professor Agasiz.—-We have been request ed to state that subscriptions may be mude to aCourie of Lec-turus by Professor Agasiz, hi the bookstores of Col. Williams and John M. Cooper. PomaredbJs Panorama of the Mississip pi.—This celebrated pointing, of which wi ll avc heard so much in the papers of the South- Western and Northern cities, has arrived in Savannah, and will be exhibited fur a short time at Oglethorpe Hall. From the many high ly commendatory notices which we have' seen of this great work of art, we hnvo no hesita tion in recommending it to the notice of the Savannah public. The N. Orleans Bee, speak ing of it, says: It is by far the most < vivid, beautiful and faithful representation of the scenery of the Mississippi we have ever beheld. The open ing view of the mouth of the Ohio will strike every one for its »urprising'cccurncy ; th >se of the city of St.-Louis, of Alton, and of Marion City; the Storm scene and Dissolving viow that follow; the tableau of the tipper Missis- pi, with its bold scenery and savage features; > picture of the Maiden’s Rock; the repre sentations of Indiun life; the prairie on fire; the buffalo hunt; the Great St. Louis Fire, &c., constitute altogether an impressive and life-like panorama, in which the-nrtist baa displayed in finite skill and taste, and rare felicity in bring- ifig forward the most salient and effective points upon tbe canvass- We advise all who have ever travelled on the Mississippi, and all who are desirous ot knowing of the outward aspect of the towns and villages that dot the banks of tbe Grout Father of Waters, to visit Pumarede’s Punorama. A more delightful entertainment cannot be imagined. [Correspondence of the Doily Morning News.) New York, March 19, 1850. The glory of the eurly spring bus departed ; and during the l.st three days we have had a touch of every season, except high summer; and some kinds of weather, that cannot be. legitimately cliisscd under any particular sea son. I fear that we shall have a sickly time of j t southern merchants, however, may be satis fied of one fact—that toe have no Cholera. A case or two may have occurred at Quarantine, brought by emigrant ships, but the Board of Health are on tbe alert, and the most stringent precautionary measures are in operation. I wish particularly to impress this fact, as the journals of some other cities, jealous of New York, are endeavoring to promulgate the false hood, in order to prsvfiht the buyers from coming here to make their spring purchases. The City Comptroller’s Report has just been published, and a few items taken from it, may not bo uninteresting to veur readers. Tiie re ceipts ut the Treasury last year were $7,516.- 153 99—the expenses o( the Comtnqn Council were $18,567 19; of cleaning tho streets $166, 500; of Boaid of Health $60,298 83, &c.— Pretty considerable iteipf„ thesq; though it must bo home in mind, that this is pretty con siderable of a City. The pepers occasionally raise a great fuss about the “Tea Room;” be ing ihc tens and suppers furnished to tbe mem bers of the Beard, and such loafers as they ehoose to introduce; and well they may make a fuss I think, when the people are charged $11,050 50 for a year’s eating, drinking and smoking! Their carnage hire for these years exceeds $3,000. Still the dear people grum- bie and bear it, and congrntulato themselves, that, unlike poor John Bull, th>-y have no taxes to pay. Weil this is a happy, and innocent self-deception—but a tax, by any other name may lib quite as odious; ut least in my way of thinking. By a report just made, it appears that the value-of real estate In the city of New York is $197,741.919 00; of personal $58,455, 226 48. Aggragate valuation $256,197,163 48 tbe tax on which amounts to, for'the present year, $3,005,762 52. A very ingenious mode of smuggling has just been detected, and has led to the forf< iture to the U. States of about $9,000 or $10,000 worth of diamonds. The/ were enclosed in letters, and sent by mail, and how many may have passed before, it is impossible to say. No Professor Webster on Trial. The Baltimore 8un contains n telegraphic account of the opening of the trial of Dr. Wsn- sTKit, at Boston, for the murder of Dr. Park- man ■ The vicinity of the court bouse was crowd ed from an early hour, and litis continued so throughout the dm, but a small number being able to gain admittance. Tbe prisoner, Dr. Webster, wng brought in to the court house at. precisely 9 o’clock this morning. Ho was more composed than he lias been fur some time, though bis countenance bore u sombre and nieluncliolly appearance, but in other respects he was much as usuul. A few minutes after the arrival of the prison er, Chief Justice Shaw took iiis seat, on the bench, accompanied by assistant Justices Wilhe. De- way, and Metelilfe. The lower floor of the Court-house was not thrown open to the pub ic, no one being admitted but the witnesses, members of the bar, and jurors. Spectators Were, however, admitted to the hiii;iII gallery, which was soon densely crowded.—The gentle men of the bur were present in full force, being admitted by tickets. To prevent a crowd, the sheriff' had taken the preclusion to barri cade tbe corridors, and to station officers at the out side doors. Sometime was consumed in colling the ju- nrs, witnesses, &«. At 10 minutes before 10 lock, Attorney General J. II. Clifford moved tbe Court to empanel a jury in the case. Vlr. Clifford, for the State, will be assisted by GeorgeII. Bemis, Esq., and the Hon. Pliny Merrick and E. D. Sobino appeared for the defence. The jury was finally empnnnelled after four teen peremptory challenges, ten of whom were set aside. Robert J. Byran is foreman. The court refused to excuse 'Benjamin H Green, because lie held a decided opinion adverse to capital punishment, but not such us would pre vent him from finding a verdict according to law. The case was then opened to the jury by the Attorney General, who confined himself to iwo propositions in his indictment—first, that Dr. Parkman was murdered—second, that Dr. Webster committed the deed, upon which he dwelt at great length, contending that numer ous circutnstunces would be proved irreconcile- uble with the supposition of Dr. Webster’s inno cence. On motion of the prosecuting attorney, all but the medical witnesses then retired from the court room, and preparation* were made fur entering immediately on the details of the trial. The first witness called to the stand was Charles M.Kingley, who testified that ho had known D..Parkman since the year 1836, nnd had acted as his collecting agent up to the time he was missing. Ho then proceeded to detail bis efforts to discover the whereabouts of Or. Parkman immediately after his disap pearance, and bis tracing him to the Medical College, where he was seen to enter by the last person who saw him alive. Witness then gave a detailed account of the searches that were sub sequently made at the M dical College, result ing finally in finding the mutilated remains of u man, supposed to be those of Dr. Parkman, underneath the rooms occup-ed by Dr. Web ster, similar to the accounts already published Robt. G. Shaw, a brother-in-law of Dr. Park- man, stated that he was present at the examina tion of the remains found under the college; and believed that the lock of hair found there was that of his relative. He would not, how ever, have been able . to recognize the body as that of Dr. Parkman, had be not previously known him to have been missing. The court adjourned at 4 o’clock, before the examination of Mr. Shaw had been finished, until 9 o’clock to-morrow morning. The Sun of the 21 and 22d, contain* tw o hie, Dr. Wyman, Dr. OliverW. Holmes Hnd other respectable witnesses lestifi- d on the third duy. The correspondent of the Sun says:—. The testimony of Drs. Keep nnd Wyman was exciting, and has carried the conviction that tbe body found wus thut of Dr. Parkman. The anxiety to get standing room iti Court can hardly be imagined. Tickets nro issued to certain privileged parlies, having business to be there, the same as to places of public urnuse- meats. Occasionally the movement of the crowd towards the door is so irrepressible that the police are overcome. P rsonnl collisions are also occurring now and then. Instances of high prices being offered for ti ansfei* of tickets of admission are numerous. Public opinion is already divided as to the guilt or innocence of Dr. Webster. The con flicting testimony of medical witnesses is looked upon as a favorable omen of acquittal. ■ There ure hundreds of ladies among the crowd, ns eagerly seeking admission into Court ns the men. At the adjournment Dr. 'Webster bore n more dejected appearance tlmn ho has yet ex hibited. He talks but little to the persons uruutid him, and seems to keep liisratlention fixed upon the witnesses. The trial, it is believed, will last until Tues day or Wednesday next. Health of Mr. Calhoun.—A telegraphic despatch to the Charleston Mercury dated Washington city March 26, 6 P. M., says:— Mr. Calhoun is extremely low. Serious fears nro entertained of the result, and it is generally believed he cannot recover. Cassvili.e Convention.—The Augustu Re public contains the proceedings of the district Convention held at Cassville on the 15i.h in stant, for the purpose of electing delegates to the Cassville Convention. That body being composed of citizens of both parties, und acting together with the greatest unanimity, has, by its action, inflicted a severe and just rebuke upon the few—per haps twenty persons—who assembled at the same place on the 5th inst., and had tho as- urnnee to condemn the Southern Conventio 11 in the name of the patriotic citizens of Cass county. do^itthe Government will make another sue- j d#y , f||fllrer pn)ec , dil)f , 9 in U ,i,importent ces.ful haul, on d« arrival of the next steamer | which ,, mainly with the testimony going to identify the remains found in the Col- 4- li ' Thiti Charleston Courier learns by tfele. graph that Huau P. Dawes, Esq., a most es timable citizen, of Charleston died at 6 o’clock on Friday morning, at Washington city. Mr. Dawes was one of the Commissioners of tbe Custom House about to ho criMed-in Charles ton, and was appointed the Superintendent of the building/ . i« the Den of Lions.—This beauti. ful work of art will continue open, at Armory Half, during tbe present week ; and as will be perceived by reference to another column, at a reduction in th.» prig* of admiario*. i (J*..- ; from Europe. I understand, that several persons nfo em ployed, speculating on. passenger tickets by the different lines, hence for San Francisco; which the proprietors may attempt to chock, but it cannot lie done. As much as a hundred dollars premium, w ns paid by parties, anxious to be off by the last departure. The splendid packet ship Argo, with a cargo nlucd at $300,000 or $400,000, is still em bedded in the sand on “ Long Island’s Sea-girt sliore,’’ with some lit tie probability of being got off. Sue has been dismantled, and most of the freight lias already been brought to the ity. Sue went ashore on Thursday evening about 7 o’clock, through, it is presumed, great carelessness. If tho jncrease of divorce eases, be an indi cation of increasing immorality, then is New York growing frightfully immoral, for our Courts nro overrun with them, even to the se rious interference with other legal business. This is a melancholy fact, and philanthropists would do well to look about for a remedy. I would suggest that they offer a premium on the best essay on the cuuses, the effect, and the remedy. I saw yesterday an immense gold chain sent from California, a* a present to Daniel Web ster, and if the great expounder be not pow erful enough to hold the Union together, ihis chain might-be of great assistance to him. It is made from the gold of the California mines, and worth iu its original state over $400. It is a regular miniature cable—more massive tliun elegant; and one which few persons would care to wear, unless to excite curiosity. The catching of the first shad in our waters, has been duly chronicled ; but I have not heard of the second one, nor is a “Shad-o” yet screum- ed through our streets. Tnt-y look very pretty in the shambles, but good housewives think I three and four shillings, a little too much. The value of the wares disposed of by tho auctioneers of this city, from July Into Dec. 1st, last year, (five months) is ascertained to have reached $8,523,491 79. The ..amount of duties accruing to government upon these sales, was $35,840. Chaklemac. Another Railroad Accident. —Wb un derstand says the Griffin Jeffersonian of Friday that another bridge on the Georgia railroad has given way, while a large freight train was passing over it, which wus precipitated into the Oconee. We do not learn that uny lives were lost. Accident on the Erik Raiuu^^J" New York paper* contain accounts of n f . " ful uccident which occurred on the Eii P l?" Road on the night qf the 16th i n « t . ° Cochcckton. It appears that part of the road broke up, and llio two near passenger c were ihrown off the track, the pin w |,j c | laches tlie car to the baggage train broke, a , ,| both cars rolled down an embankment ot' ' thirty feet. About sixtj' persons were i n curs, and a scene of fearful confusion and citemcnt ensued—the lights were extiugui,^' and the coals from the stoves set fire to the ' the most desperate efforts wero made escape Er In the rcisn of Henry V. tbe British re* e ue waft, £64.000. now it amounts to £56,- 309,009. lege os those of Dr. Parkman. The Suns cor respondent under date of the 20th inst s ay The excitement that has ptevailed through' out tbe city to-day to obtain information of tbe progressnl the Inal of Dr. Webster, nnd of the character of tbe testimm y introduced, hus been intense, und of course various unbound rumors have been in circulation- The rush for admittance exceeded anything before witness ed in the city, and not more than one in ten of thnse who presented themselves obtained an entrance toihe court house, which was crowd ed throughout, the day to suflbeution. The witnesses, to the number of ubout one hundred and twenty, occupy the Supreme Courtroom, and are not admitted until they art)culled upon to testify, so that one shall not know what testimony the other lias given. Dr. Francis Parkman, brother to deceased, is in attendance, and much seemed affected as the bones found in the to mace were produced. Tbe testimony of Dr. Woodbury Strong, Dr. Parkmau's Physician, and Dr. Frederick AinB- wortli. Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Medi cal College, which was given on the 2d day of the trial, was very conclusive as to the identity of the body of Dr. Parkman. On the opening of the'court on tbe third day the cruwd in and around tbe court-house Wus more dense than ever, and the excitement had evidently increased in all parts of tbe city. An eager multitude,wus in attendance, seeking ad mittance hours before the doors of the court house were open, and the rush for admittance was truly feurfol. At 9 o’clock, Dr. Webster was brought from the Leverett-street jasl in a carriage, in irons, to the' court house. He immediately took his scat in the dock, und • lie irons were removed. His step vyns light and elastic, and in crossing the room, his countenance seemed culm and composed, to such an extent as to cause general remark. He familiarly nodded to such of his friends and acquaintances at. he recognized, and at one time lie slightly smiled. He neetns to regard vlmt is progressing u- round him with much more composure arid f. ss apparent interest than is Evinced by many of the spectators. The countenance of the prisoner indicates to the phisiognomist strong animal passion and irrascible temperament. The cheek bones are high, nnd the mouth, with compressed lip-, betray great resolution and firmness of rhaiae- tei; the forehead is inclined to angular, rather low and partially retreating; standing below the middle he ght, and by no means a man of strong musi'U'ai strength- Hi* general appear- anre mak. * no favorable impression. Dr. Chas.T. Jackson, Dr. N. C. Keep, Pr. No- Thk Manufacture of Boots and Shoes A report, issued in New York city, proposing organise an American Boot Union,with $200,- 000 capital, in $25 shares, states that bools and shoes are annually manufactured in Massachu setts to the amount of eighteen mil linns of dol lars. These are pegged, mid “the first man who pegged a shoe in this or any other country,” Jns. W’alker, of Hopkington, Mags., is yet alive. The demand fur these articles, -ays the report, exceeds the supply. Fiauds are committed in substituting wood or shingles for leather, in the construction of cheap shoes for the New York market, and in some parts of the slioe, un tanned ieuthcr is often used. The quarter* of kip brogans, as they are called, are sometime* lined wilh common straw paper, concealed be neath white sheepskin morocco. A method of manufacture of hoots and shoes, by what is called teams, or a division of labor, has been introduced by diaries D. Bige low, of Massachusetts, which dispenses w ith pre vious training, and makes the workman expert in his particular department in a day or two. Jenny Lind Musical Hali.s.—It is rumor ed in New York, that Mr Barnum is about to rebuild the Park Tle atre, as a magnificent mu sical hull, for the purpose of having JcnnvLind to sing in it. There is not a good hall, of large size, for musical purposes, in New York. A movement for a splendid Jenny Lind musical ball is said also to be on foot in Boston. The Rail Road -—The Cur snre now running from the Depot at this place to Tunnel Hill, under the arrangement mentioned by us two weeks ago. Tbe Passenger Oar has been at tached to the small Engine, which goes mid re turns duily, except Sundays; while the Freight Cars have been attached to the lurge Engine, which makes nine trips per week, taking off 130 bales of Cotton each trip—or 1170 bales per week. This arrangement will enuble tbe Cars to take off the Colton now here in about three weeks.— Chattanooga Advertiser 20th % Calhoun, VVedstkr and Clay.—The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin says : I regret tb say that Mr. Calhoun is very ill. Age and disease have made sad impress upon his natural sharp features, and the wreck of the body rontrasi | ainfully with the powerful glim merings of intellect which yet flash from every thing subject to his touch. Mr. Webster also looks worn and feeble; and that step whieh, five years ago, trod with the elastic firmness of a coflqueror, now bears him almost tottering to his sent in the chamber. Mr. Clay, on the contrary, wears wed. In truth, his cheeks bloom like the sun-mark of a peach, nnd all his acts—physical und mental—betray the in vincible Harry of twenty years past. Election Outrages in Philadelphia.—On Friday aftermuon at Philadelphia, a party attack ed another party in an omnibus U’ed for election purposes, in Cedar Ward. A pistol was dis charged into the omnibus, nnd two or three per sons injured. Theaffiiir will undergo an inves tigation. The same night John McGutJken in going tr im tbe polls, was knocked down by ruffians, and his scull fractured. His situation is precarious. ISF” The last Griffin \\ big contains a call for a public meeting, without distinction of parly, which was to have been held at that place on Saturday, forthe purpose of tendering 10 the Hon. Daniel Webster “the tlinnks of the Southern people for his noble and patriotic defence of the constitution and Southern rights, in his late speech in the Senate.” t#"Statisticians make one third of the pop ulation of Paris illegitimate. by breaking the windows by which mean, passengers were all extricated, more or | e bruised, but only one it is believed soriously jured, and she. it is feared, will not recover The locoiqotive proceeded nearly a mi| e (,,! fore discovei ing the loss of tho passenso- when others were procured, and convoyed pnssengers to their destination. Rev. Dr. Sewell.—A correspondent ofth B New York tribune states that the reason of i) 1P Spanish Government, for refusing to Ro v . [ Jr Sewell his exequatur us United States Cotw at St. Jngo de Cuba, was the ciidilation of report there by some evil disposed person that he wns an abolitionist.—Steps have, howcv Pr been taken that will remedy the difficulty—4!

Late from El Paso.—More Depredations by the Apaches and Camanche%.—The San Antonio Western Texan, of the 21st ultimo says: A government express, which arrived here on Sniurday from El Paso, brings news of pent depredations committed by the Apache und Camanche Indians in that quarler. Duv, ( | 1 orry was killed u short time sincehy them h little east of Presidio. A jmrty of 7 or 8 A- mcricaiis was massacred by them a short time since on the Gila, arming whom was John 1 l orry ; a son of Govi rnor Smith had alsobeeii killed. A band of Indians attacked the party with which Judge Robinson wus travelling, l t . tween the Peeps and El Passo ; the Judge and bis family escaped without injury, and had ar rived at El Pino.

Otto great inconvenience is now experienced by the re- in sal on tbe part of tbe authorities to allow the loading or discharging of vessels, excopi when tbe custom-house is open.

Sunday Mails.—Tho rail road companies of New Jersey, having the contract for the conveyance of the Southern mail, have renew ed the application to the post office depart ment for tho discontinuance of the dayormorn- ing mail line on Sunday between Philadelphia and New Y’ork. As an inducement for this the companies offer to make a material improvr- meat in the daily mail service, involving i creased expense und difficulty, without addi tional compensation.
