/MORNING NEWS. BY JOHN M. COOPER. W. T. THOMPSON, EDITOR termsT DAILY PAPER' $4'00 | thi-wkkkly $2 00 All New Advertisements appear in boih papers. At ba»l Momenta of Mr. Calhonn. t about 8 o’clock on tbe evening before his death he remarked that “bis mind was never clearer,” and that He had “great facility in ar- runging;his thought.” On its being suggested to him that [he vkept his mind too active, he said “I cannot avoid thinking of the political affairs of the country.” “If I could speak to the Senate for one hour I could do more good ,than on any previous occasion of my life.” On the morning of that day his dissolution evidently was rapidly approaching, and it was seen that ho could survive but a very short pe riod. Though evidently weaker, he setup for about two hours, in the morning, and conversed a short time in the afternoon. Several loiters were read to him, on which he commented. He said tliat he wbb satisfied ‘‘the whole South would soon unite and act as one man against Northern aggression.” » At half-past twdlve ho commenced to beathe with groat difficulty, a circumstance which very much alarmed Dr, John Calhoun, his son, who alone of his family* was present. Saying that ho felt very wakeful, he usked his son to lie down. Dr. Calhoun did so, but requested him o take some wine. “No," said Mr. C., “I do not require more stimulus.” He continued, “I feel I am sinking •, but you had better lie down, John." His son did so. Tho difficulty of breathing continued. At 2 o’clock, in a very feeble voice, he balled to Jbhn.—That gentle, man at once approached,and was asked to feci his pulse. Mr. Calhoun then- said, “ I have no pulsation at the wrist,” He soon after said, “Take my watch from tho table, and put it in jour trunk.” This was done, and ha pointed to a bureau, and bade his son take from it his papers and similarly dispose of them. (These papers ate said to be his manuscript works oq the Government and tho Constitut- tiq.n.) He said that the effect of the medicine hair been good, ns he was.in a delightful pers piration. About five, Dr. C. sat by tho fire and recommended his father to take some rest. Ha asked him if he felt any pain, and wus told “No; I have had none throughout the whole at tack." Dr. C-. asked if ho wus comfortable, and was answered, “I am perfectly comfor table." These were his last words. At about a quarter before six ho mdde a motion for his son to approach Iris bed. Hold ing out his hand he grasped Dr. C’s, very close ly, and looked anxiously into his face, ns if he would speak to him. Seeing that he was un able to do so, Dr. C. at once called the honor able Mr. Venable, of North Carolina. When the latter came to his bed-side, he presented his hand and presented his wrist as if to indi cate his approaching dissolution.—He looked very intently at Mr. V., who remarked “you - are pulseless, sir, and must have some wine,” Half a tumbler of Madeira was given him, which he drank.—Mr. V. then lelt tho room to summon other friends. Soon after the Hon. Mr. Orr and tho Hon. Mr. Wallace of South Carolina came in. As Mr. Calhoun saw tho door open, he fixed his eyes on Mr. Orr, who came directly to him. Mr. 0. leaned over and felt his pulse : Mr. Calhoun understanding what he meant and ex tending bis hand. He was asked if he would have Dr. Hall, the physician, sent for. He shook his head in the negative. Mr. Venable who had returned, then remarked that the wine ■ had produced no effort and that the pulse had not returned. Mr. Oalhoun then put on an ex- S n which was interpreted to mean‘‘that w<«Jl was over,” adjusted his head on <5w and breathed quietly and calmly for Oments. No change was observed in hiai«oountenance until his last breath which was along and deep inspiration. His eyes immedi- ateljlgrew dim and were closed at once by Mr. Venable. The countenance of the li censed Statesman was culm as if he had fallen asleep, and his mind retained its brightness to ' the last moment.—N. Y. Express. Tit* Jury and the Jurors’ Room in the istXii Trial.—Ono of the Jurors who sat in judgement upon the life of Dr. Webster, has given in the Boston Traveller the following interesting statement of tho' conduct of the Jury. The jury was composed of twelve men, from as many diffeient branches of the mechanicnl and mercantile professions, they were from dif ferent religious denominations, und their ages varied from 28 to 66 years. They were men wljom I should designate ^s possessing good sound common sense—men capable of judging —of discerning—of appreciating evidence and estimating its importance. Tbe jurors, after theyhad become hotter acquainted with each other, and us the evidence begun to bear with crushing weight upon the prisoner, and the“net work of implicated circumstances” seemed to encircle him, felt strongly the need of that \Wsdom which someth from above, to guide and direct their minds aright in their most mo mentous and responsible situation. It was then that our worthy*Foreman (whom P we all must highly respect, and'whom we shall ever nemember with pleasure) proposed to the Bury that they should have religious services Ivery morning. The proposition was cheerful ly responded to, and ever ufter that time the voice of pifaisc and prayer daily ascended, as we tnist from sinoere hearts, to the throno of infinite wisdom and mercy. I need not say that the burden of every prayer was. for wis dom to guide and direct until - a right decision, and for blessings most rich and precious to de scend upon the prisoner and his alflicted fam- ily. ■ I novt come to the closing part of this mo- mentouM trial. When the witnesses for the de fence had given in their testimony, and the coun sel for tile prisoner announced the evidence on their part closed, a feeling of pain and anguish' must haVe come oyer .the mind of every juror “Whut! can no more be said,—no more be done in behalf of tbe unhappy prisoner ! Is that the evidence—the only evidence on which we are to base our verdict of, “AW Guilty!” At that vety time, with the light which the able charge of the 'Chief Justice afterwards gave us on several points of “the law and evi dence,” I think I speak the sentiments of near ly if not quite all the jury, when I/ay, that they were as fulfy prepared for their verdict as they were when they retired to the jury room, after listening to the most able and eloquent pleas of tbe prisoner’s senior counsel and the Attorney General—so strongly, so fully bad tbe evidence pointed to the'prisoner as the guilty man—and Sl Wi* ‘ * to no one Else. After the jury bad gone to their rAom—with the various evidences of guilt out on'the table before them, and the door look ed Upon them, shut out as it wero entirely front the World, with nothing but the eye of Omni scient God upon them, so painful was thS sense of tesponslbility, so unwilling were they to come to the result which all felt they mustcome to, that 30 to 40 minutes were spent ere any thing was done—when at last, the voice of the horemanj/vas heard calling them to order und reminding them df duty, however pninlul, and when they had taken their seats around the table—then it was that ono of the Jurors rose und said, “ Mr. Foreman, before entering upon the further conBideijition and decision o( this important matter, I would propose that wo seek for divine wisdom and guidance.” The proposition met with a cordial response, and tho foreman culled upon a juror to offer prayer. This n< done, most feelingly and sincerely. We then proceeded to the most trying and painful part of our arduous duty. The various articles which were put into the case were examined by the jury, mid particular ly thpsc things which seemed to benrmost strong ly against the prisoner. The final decision of tbe question was resolved into three parts. First, Aie the remains of a human body found in the Medical College on the 30th No vember, 1840, those of the late Dr. George Parkmnn. » Second. Did Dr. George Turkman come to his (feutit by the bands of Dr. John Wi Webster, in the Medical College on the 23d Nor., 1849 ? Third. Is Dr. John W. Webster guilty, as set forth in (he indictment of the wilful mur der of Dr. George Park mail ? When the vote on the first question was put, twelve hands arose* immediately. Some little discussion then took place, when the second was tested, and twelve hanusatoncearose. The third—the most important question of. all— was next to he tried. Quite a pause ensued. One juror—in his sympathies of kindness for the prisoner (who was his personal acquaintance or friend) and his ofiiicted funtily—shrunk from the “fiery ordeal.” “Can’t we stop, hero?— can’tthe law be vindicated und I’u slice satisfied if we pause here ? Must we take the life of the unhappy prisoner?” Some discussion ensued— the mind of the juror seemod more culm—and he expressed his readiness to vote on the. final question which was then put and twelve hands arose. The die was cast 1 ! and John W. Web ster was pronounced guilty of murder. Thus ensued the closing scene in the jury room.—What afterwards transpired in the court room’is already known to the public. When our*foreman then pronounced that aw ful word—Guilty ! the jury, as well as the pris oner, trembled and grew fuint. And what a re lief it was to us whqn we were again allowed to “go free,” and rejoin ounfnmiliesand friends after so long and painful a seperation, and there was not a juror's heart but would have leaped for joy could the prisoner have been justly al lowed the same unspeakable blessing.

BOTH THE OThER DAI LIES TOGETHER, and consequently is the best advertising mbdium. We state this fact in justice to ourselves and for the benefit of the advertising public. "gff See first page for our rates of adverting. Advertisements should be handed in at an early hour, to insure their appearance in the papfer of the. next morning. 07" Our readers will find a communication in another column on the subject of a change in our municipal regulations, which we think is worthy of consideration. The writer sug gests that the hour for the ringing of the guard house bell be* changed from 9 to 10 o’clock, and that our colored people be allowed the free dom of the streets until that hour. There are, we think, many reasons, humane and politic, why the proposed change should be made, and wo can discover none why it should not. An hour later would certainly be a grateful boon to that class of our population, while it would relieve us from the perpetual annoyance of giving passes. As the writer remarks, such a change noe<J not interfere with the posting of the guard, whose watchful vigilance would be ample protection against any evil that might grow out of the proposed indulgence. There may be* objections to tho change of which we arc not nware. If so, we would lik to be made adquainted with them. The Water Gas.—Wa commend to the at tention of our readers, the letter from Professor A. S PlOGOT.of Washington University, on the subject of the Water Gas,(which will be found in our paper this morning. Professor P. is a gentleman of scientific acquirements, and hav ing gone to considerable puins in tho investiga tion of the subject, is eminently qualified to speak of the claiitis of tho new process, and its advantages over the old method of produ cing gas. The subject is one of interest at this time, when our authorities are about construct ing works to light the city. We expect shortly to hear again from Dr. Pigqot, on this and kindred topics. . Atheneum,—There wus a good house last night lo see Miss Cushman’s Rosalind in “ As You Like It." As we nnticiputed, her person ation of the character was a most admirable piece of acting, and gave tho highest degree of satisfaction to the audience. The representation of this comedy, afforded un opportunity for the displuy of Miss Cush man’s versatility of talent, but wo think stand ard-tragedy, or more modern plays, ^would be more popular with the public, and would gene rally be more within the scope of the company Me Couldock’s Jacques, was well acted and read; and the principal characters of the piece were well sustained. The tragedy of Macbeth will be performed to-night, with a fine cast; Miss Cushman a: Lady Macbeth. A Great Iishery.—Governor Fish is hav ing a mansion built in New York, city, estima ted to cost $40,000. Correspondence of the Daily MorningJKews. Baltimore, April 5, 1850. W. T. Thompson, Esq.—Dear Sir : I can not better reply to your inquiries about the Wa ter Gas which is now attracting sp much atten tion, than by giving you a brief account of its manufacture, and the estimated cost of itn pro duction. It is now and 1ms been, for the last six months or more, in constant use at tho Clip per office in this city, and hns given tho fullest satisfaction to the proprietors of that establish ment. The apparatus is very simple, and can be put up at a moderate cost. It consists of a fur nace, wnter-pun, rosin-pan, three retorts, a con denser or cooler, and a gasometer. The fur nace is so constructed that the same fire which heats the retorts and generates tho gas, melts tho rosin which is allowed to distill drop-by drop upon a honted surface. The retorts are tilled respectively with charcoal, scrap-iron, and coke. The charcoal retort communicates directly with the one containing tho scrap-iron, and the latter with that which is charged with coke, so that the gaseous products traverse them in t))e order named, issuing lust of all ■out the coke retort. The condenser and oth er purts of the appa atus, have nothing pecu liar about their construction. Before giving an account of the process of manufacture, permit me to call to your recollec tion a few facts concerning the gaseous substan ces used in illumination. These are all ob tained by the destructive distillation of sub stances rich in carbon ; such as coul, oils und esins. Tho products of the distillation com mon to all the processes, are carbonic acid, curbonic oxide, olefiant gus, light carburelted hydrogen, pure hydrogen, a variable quantity ot empyreumatic oils, and other carbonaceous matters, sol'd and liquid. In addition to these, the distillution of coal gives rise to sulphuret ted hydrogen, proceeding from the iron pyrites more or less of which contaminates all the bi tuminous cools used ingas manufacture,and cer tain ammoniacal compounds, together with a variety of products not at all ntuterial to our present purpose. Of tho gases named above, those possessing illuminating properties, are the olefiant gas and the light carburetted hydrogen. Thp remainder either add nothing, or positively detract from the illuminating power of the gas. Carbonic acid, is not only incombustible itself, but. is one of the most powerful quenchers of cfombustion known. Carbonic oxido burns, but. with a very feeble light. Hydrogen also burns, but its flame is paler and weaker than that of alcohol. Light carburetted hydrogen affords some light, but not suffieientfor the pur poses of illumination, until it is mingled with some gas of grpater illuminating power. Ole fiant gas, affords the most brilliant light of any of the substances named. The brightness of the light of all these gases is very greatly in creased by the presence of solid particles of matter disseminated through the,flume. To se cure a good illuminating gas, then, the manu facturer should endeavor to get ns large a pro portion of olefiant gas as he can possibly obtain. These indications seem to be very well fulfilled by the Water Gas of Messrs. Brown, Giddings & Crutchett. . The process of its manufacture is very sim ple. The commonest luborer, with a day’s? - struction, would be fully competent to its man agement. The retorts charged, as we latve al ready described, are raised t6 a red heat.— When they have acquired this temperature,the substances of which the gas is to be made are admitted to them. They both, that is the water und the rosin, enter the retorts at the same time; but to make the matter clearer, it is bet ter to follow theproduots round the circuit, be- inning with the charcoal retort. Whiter is al lowed to trickle slowly into this. As soon ns it comes in contact with tho charcoal it is con verted into steam, and then resolved into its ele ments oxygen ibid hydrogen. These uniting with the carbon, form carbonic acid,carbonic ox ide,nud carburetted hydrogen, while a little free hydrogen and some particles of unburned car bon are probably carried off with them. These gasses now enter the retort con taming the scraps of red-hot iron, where they nre deprived of a large portion of their oxygen which combines with the iron. Thegusses now enter the coke retort, into which the melted rosin has been constantly distilling, drop by drop. They there unite with the gas given off by the rosin, arid all pass out together into the condenser, where the tar and oil are separated. The only purifica tion necessary is the passing the gas tin ougli wa ter. The result, of this process is extremely rich in carbon, containing a large proportion'of olefiant gas, and giving an extremely brilliant light. The cost'of the gas has boen roughly esti mated by the proprietors of the Clipperut $1 50 per 1,300 cubic fofet. Tho estimate ol'the paten tees is ns follows: Scrap iron and cliarconl t? charge retorts 20 Two bushels coal to get up heat 50 Four bushels of coal for tho manufacture of 4000 cubic feet of gas 1 00 Labor for 12 hours 1 00 Rosin (320 lbs.) 1 CO To ‘“l $4 30 or $1 07h for every thousand cubic feet. In a largo apparatus it is thought that something might be saved on this by burning the tar and oil to heat the apparatus. Tbe actual expense of the coal gas. in Philadelphia, where it is said to be made cheaper and better than any where else in this country, is estimated in a recent re port at $1 30Uier thousand cubic feet. .This es timate does not include the incidental products of the distillation, which are valuable, and will diminish,the actual cost, neither does it allow for interest on capital and the wear and tear of ap paratus. It is probable that tho two items will very nearly • counterbalance each other. The price at which the coal gas is sold in this city is $4 por thousand feet. The patentees of the wa ter gas claim that tho saving of their gas is not merely to be estimated by the cost of its man ufacture, ns its illuminating power is so much greater than that of coal gas, that a given quan tity of the one will last muiffi longer than the same amount of the other. Experiments in regard to this matter have been tried at the office of the Clipper, and the results published in that paper. According to that statement, with tho same burners undorthe same pressure, there wero consumed of the wa ter gas two and six tenths cubic feet, and of tho coal gas four cubic feet per hour; while the light given out by the former was equul to 25 sperm candles, and that emitted by the 4 feet of the latter equivalent to but 6 candles. I cunnot of course vouch forjhe accuracy of theso results, ns I was not present at the experi ments, but, judging by the eye, I should say that the gas at the Clipper office is superior to any that is burnt in Baltimore. The usual es timate of the comparative illuminating power of rosin .and coal gas, has been, as nearly as I can remember, ns 5 to 2—that is to say, a cu bic foot of coal gas will only give two-fifths the amount of light furnished by a cubic foot of rosin gas. Much more might, bo said upon this subject, but I have already taken up an unconscionable space fora sipgle letter. Yours truly, A. SNCWDEN PIGGOT. [For the Daily Morning News.) Mr., Editor.— Can you not say something in your useful pa per in favor of extending a larger liberty lo our black population than they enjoy at present. Here the bell rings at 8 o'clock during 6 months and at 9 six months, whilst in Charleston,where their oast history shows them to bo less deser ving of indulgence, an hour longer, winter and summer, is extended to them ; nnd the same in Augusta. No evil could result from such a change; the guard could go on duty at 8 und-9 o’clock, as at present, but not commence chal lenging until an hour thereafter. Indeed the guard should bo set as in Charleston, at 7 and 9, winter and summer, respectively. This change would enable our servants to perform their religious duties in peace and quietness, which they cannot now do without tickets which I know are seldom refused, but are a trouble to all concerned. From opinions I have heard expressed, I believe that an ordi- naco to the above efl'cet would m - et with gener al approbation. AN OWNER.

EF* The Boston Traveller remarking upon the Webster case draws the following moral: —We cannot, says the Traveller, forbear ad ding what wo have refrained from utiering be fore, but which we have felt from tho begin ning of this awful tragedy—that it presents an impressive warning against the demoralizing influence of a style of living and a course of in dulgence, requiring expenditures beyond one’s income. It shows also, tho utter insufficien cy of mental and social cultivation as a basis of character, without Teligious principle. Whatever amount of mental culture or social refinement any one may possess he needs the further safeguard of high moral and religious principle, as u defence against temptation- We have another solemn admonition, that “lie that trusteih in his own heart is a fool.” Li?" Tho Charleston Courier has a very ap propriate paragraph on the subject of the re puted discovery of Sir John Franklin. The editor’s remarks are very well if the story is true, which we sincerely hope is the case. But wo must await more authentic accounts, before wo can indulge in felicitations. We desire some better authority than a mere tel-lie-graphic re port. A New Invention,-—A Cincinnatian has invented a marble which he engrafts on sand stone or wood, and defies any person to detect it from jthe natural thing.
