A Letter from Professor Webster’s Daughter.— 1 The following letter is published in the Manchester Messenger. It will be rend with painful interest, by all who sympathise with the unfortunate fumily of the condemned : Cambridge, April 8th, 1850. “Daniel Marsh, Esq.—Sir: I this morning received the very kind letter you uddressed to me, and which I hasten to answer,^to thank you in the name of my mother, my sisters, and myself, for the true sentiments you entertain respecting my boloved father. You believe him innocent, and you believe what is tvuo ; he is the victim of circuniBtanccB, a deeply in jured man ;—that he is innocent, we, his fami ly know, and nothing on earth will ever take from us this conviction. We have never, from the moment he was snatched from his homo, had a shadow of doubt on our minds, and what ever the world may say or do, wo shall evor have that feeling to support us. The knowl edge of his innocenco supported myfuthor du ring the hours of suffering in the Court room ; that it is that gives him and us culmness now, amidst the many sources of sorrow that have overwhelmed us. Far different from what we anticipated, was the result of the trial, for we had been assured throughout tho winter that our father could not be restored to us, and that at the trial he must receive justice for tho many wrongs that hud been heBped upoirhim. 15ut justice fled from the Court room and prejudice took her place. Yet hope still lingers with us, for we trust tho public voice will bo raised against the gross injustice that has been committed, and will not allow our country to bear such a stigma on her name, such aa everlasting stain, ns will i>o that of the sacrifice of one so truly innocent as my fa. ther. And if one word from us, sir, can add a feather’s weight to the efforts that are now be ing made, Oh, may we give you tho deep nssur- once of our hearts, that we feel grateful for the deep interest that you express and feel, and for what you are doing in our behalf. May God. in his infinite mercy, look down upon you, and bless the efforts that are being made, and if it is not His well to bring the truth to light, and to allow this awiul mystery to be explained may He enlighten the minds of those into whose hands the caso will pass. I must again thank you, sir, for the kind feel' ings you express towards my dear father. Noth ing that tho world can do now gives us greate consolation, than the knowledge that others boliovehiminnocent. Sympathy flows abundant' ly from many hearts tov.-ards us, his family, but how much more prized by us is that sympathy, when expressed for him ? That our beloved lather may be restored to us, is tho fervent pay er of our hearts, and we wait tremblingly in the hope, that those who are now to decide in this ca«emay see the terrible injustice that hns been committed, and has inflicted so much suffering on so many. Believe me, sir, gratefully youri Harriet W. Webster." advertising medium.

W We are gratified to see our capitalists turning their attention to tho establishment of enter prises of this nature, which, when properly managed, are not only profitable and enuble us to compete with Northern manufacturers, but tend so much to develope tho resources of the South and confer so many benefits upon the surrounding country.

Such thoughts humble him, and make him sad and hopeless, and yet he thinks he will succeed in returniug to England. He is right. Ho will return in six months and three or four days. The ships areat great distance from each other. They lookjdirty and battered. They have no sales set. They (the seamen) are cutting the ice before them. In some places it appears as thick as two houses; in others, like mountains. They (the vessels) are in a different place now to what they were when I was last here. They are now where ships never sailed before. They are not returning the same roud they went.— They are going thatjway (pointing to the west.) —What can bo the use of this road ? It ought never to have been sailed. It will never be sailed again. He has seen some of the na tives. They are wild, stupid, and uncommu liicative. The vessels sent out for him (Sir • Johft Franklin) will not find him; they will cross each other, and he will be first heard of at a place called the Cope. It appears to have no other name. It will be remembered that in October last, clairvoyant at Bolter, was consulted, and she fixed the same period for the return of the ex pedition. This is thought to be a remarkable coincidence.

We are told that Coal will probably be laid down by this company, in Augustu, and supplied to purchasers at $5.50 to $6 per ton. This is but little more than half its present cost in this city. The Cabinet Official Contradiction.— Tho National Intelligencer of Tuesday morning, notices the rumers of an anticipated rupture in the cabinet, that certain whigs desired a disso lution of the cabinet, and thut the President was beginning to favor the same object, append ing to them the following decimation:—“ Of these statements, we feel authorised to say, eve ry one is erroneous, in whole or in part.” The Cuba Expedition—It is stated in Cincinnati and Louisville papers that large numbers of men have been enlisted in those cities and neighborhood for a proposed expe dition against Cuba. They were engaged for one year, and large pay promised. They had only been informed that their destination was Chagres. Tho New Orleans Bulletin, the contrary, says: “We have neither seen nor heard of anything which uffords ground for the belief of such un expedition being on foot.” Pennsylvania Legislature.—The bill to divorce Edwin Forrest and Catherine, his wife, passed the House of Representatives on Mon day by avoto of 42 to 40.

The News of Sir John Franklin.—The St. Louis Intelligencer of the 5th of April con tains an extract from a letter, written by A McDermot, and dated Selkirks’ Colony, 13tli February, 1850, as follows : “A packet has just arrived from McKenzie’ river, which brings news that the ship that went in seurch of Capt.

The locomotive wns of the largest class, and under the care of efficient en gineers. The boiler exploded whilst ascend- ng a grade, instantly killing Mr. Milhaw, the fireman, and seriously scalding and otherwise injuring the engineer, Mr. Davis. The boiler burst into tho fire, causing tho locomotive to turn a complete somerset, and scattering it into hundreds of pieces. The body of Mr. Milhaw was thrown almost perpendicularly into the air to the height of about sixty feet, passing thro’ the top of a largo oak tree, the limbs of which stripped nearly every thread of clothing from his body, which wore left suspended on the top branches. This is, we believe, the fourth ex plosion of a locomotive boiler that has ever ta ken place in this country. As in the preceding cases, tho cause remains a mystery. The boil- srwasin good order. California.—The following is an extract from the Washington Correspondence of the New Y’ork Herald, under date of the 14th inst. “It lias just leaked out, that all the haste and hurry to rush in California as a State, with out her sisters in tribulation, New Mexico and Deseret, arises from the fuct, that the specula tors of all kinds in California, not the hard working gold-diggers, have bought up ull the Mexican land claims, and that these claims to the extent of five hundred millions of dollars uto held by men in and out of Congress, in and out of California; by newspaper editors, und persons employed at Washington, high in the departments, a list of whom I will try to send you soon. It is said that the Benton fami ly are interested,'to the extent of four or five millions, in these Mexican land titles, on the San Joaquin and Sacramento, comprising leagues of gold quartz rocks. This accounts for the anxiety to admit California at once, and alone, in order that these doubtful titles may be baptized.” Farewell of the Hungarians.—Gen. no matter what the result may be of the nego- I Ujazy published in the N.
