The following is Mr. LoekhaiTs account ofthe return to Abbottsford, and the laA hours, of Sir Walter Scott, after the air ol a sea voyage 10 Malta and Naples had been tried in vain : “On this his last journey, Sir Walter was attended by Lis i wo daughters, Mr. Cadel and myself, and also b\ r Dr. Janies Wat son, who kindly undertook to see him sale at Abbotsford. We embarked in the Jas. Watt sieutubo.it, the master of which, (Capt. John Jamieson,) as well as the agents ofthe proprietors, made every ar rangement in their power ibr the convey ance of the invalid. The Captain gave up to Sir Walter’s use his own private cabin, which was a separate erection, a sort of cottage on the deck; and he seemed unconscious, alter laid in bed there, that any new removal had occurred. On ar riving at New Haven, late on the Dili, we found careful preparations made lor his lauding, by the manager of lift: shipping company, (.Mr Hamilton;) and Sir Walter, prostrate in his carriage, was slung on shore, and conveyed from thence to Doug las’ Hotel, in St. Andrew’s Square, in the same complete apparent unconsciousness. —Mrs. Douglas had in firmer days been tlie Duke of Buccleuch’s house-keeper, at Bowhill, and she and her husband had also made tlie most suitable provision. At a very early hour of the morning of Wednesday, the litli, we again placed him in his carriage, and he lay in the same torpid stale during the tirst two stages on the road to Tweedside. But, as we de scended 1 he road to Gala, lie began logaze about him, anil by degrees it was obvi ous that he was recognizing the leaiures of that familiar landscape. Tresenilv lie murmured a name or two—‘Gaia Water, surely—Buckholm—Torwoodlee.’ As we rounded the hill ofLandope, and the out line ofthe Eillous burst on him, he became greatly excited; and when, turning him self on his bed, his eye at length caught his own towers, at a disiance of a mile, he sprang up with a cry ol delight. 1 lie river being in flood, we had to go rouml a lew miles by Melrose bridge; and during the time thus occupied, his house, and woods being within prospect, it required occasionally both Dr. Watson’s strength and mine, in addiiion to Nicholson’s, to keep him in the carriage. Alter passing ihe bridge, the road for a couple of miles loses sight of Abliotslbrd, and lie relapsed ii*to his slupor; hut, on gaining the bank immediately above it, liis excitement be came again ungovernable. “Mr. Laidlaw was waiting at the porch, and assisted us irt lifting him into the di ning room, where bis bed bad been pre pared. He sut bewildered for a few mo ments, and then resting his eye on Laul- law, said, ‘Ha ! Willie Laidlaw ! O man, how often have 1 thought of you !’ By this lime Ins dogs had assembled about uis chair; they began to fawn upon him and to lick his hand?, and he alternately sob- have been thinking of, if 1 don’t set il down now; take me into my own room, and fetch me ihe keys of my desk.’ He repeated this so earnestly, that we could not refusei his daughters went into his study, opened his writing desk, and laid paper and pens in the usual order; and I llien moved him tliioiigh th*- hall, and into llit' spot where he had always been ac customed to work. When the chair was placed at tlie desk, and he f •uud himself in his position, lie smilingly thanked us, and said, ‘Now give me my pen, and leave ine ft>r a little to myself.’ Sophia put the pen intojiis hand, and he endeavored to close his lingers upon it, but lliev refused their ofliee, anti it dropped on the paper. He sank hack among his pillows—silent tears rolling down his cheeks; but, com posing himself by and by, lie motioned me to wheel him nut of doors again. Laid law met us at the porch, and look his turn of the chair, ^h Walter, alter a little while, again dropped into slumber. When he was awaking, Laidlaw said tome, ‘Sir Walter has had a little repose.’ ‘No, Willie,’ said he, ‘no repose for Sir Waltei hut in the grave.’ The tears again rush ed from his e}‘es, and he said, ‘Friends, do not let me expose myself-—get me to bed—th:it’s i he only place.’ “With this scene, ended our glimpse of daylight. Sir Walter never, I think, left his room afterwards, and hardly his bed, except for an hour or two in the middle of tlie day, and after another week he was unable even for this. “As I was dressing, on the morning of Monday the 17lii of September, Nicholas came into my room, and told me that his master haU ad'^ke in a slate oi composure and consciousness, and vvisrn-t! !° me immediately. I found him entirely him self, though in tlie last extreme of feeble ness. His eye was clear and calm—eve ry trace ofthe wild (ire of delirium extin guished. ‘Lockhart,’ said he, ‘I may have but a minute to speak to you. Mv dear, be a good man—be virtuous, be re ligious, be a good man—nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here.’ He paused, and I asked,‘shall I send ibr Sophia and Anne?’ ‘No,’ said he, ‘don’t disturb them. Poor souls! I know they were up all night—God bless you all!’ With this he sunk into a very tranquil sleep and indeed he scarcely af terwards gave any sign of const iousness, except Ibr the instant on the arrival of bis sons. They, on learning that the scene was about to close, obtained leave of ab sence from their posts, an*I both readied Abbottslord on the 19tb. About half past one o’clock P. M. on the 21st September, Sir Walter breathed his last, in the pre sence of all his children. Ii was a beati- iid day—so warm that every window was wide open, and so perfectly still that the sound of all others most delicious to his ear, the gentle ripple of ihe Tweed over iLs peb’des, was distinctly audib e as we knelt around the bed, and Lis eldest son kissed and closed his e3’e$.” The funeral— “The court-yard and all the precincts of Abbotsford were crowded with uncov ered spectators as die procession was ar ranged; and as it advanced through Dar- uick and Melrose, and the ujacent villa ges, tin* whole population appeared at their doors in like manner, almost all in I black. The train of carriages extended, ! 1 understan !, over more than a mile; ihe veomarirv billowed in great numbers, on horse ba* k; an*! ii was late in ihe day ere we reached Dryburg. Some accident, il was observed, had caused the hearse to halt ibr several minutes on the summit of the hill at Betnerside, exactly where a prospect of remarkable richness opens, and where Sir Walter had always been accustomed to rein up Ins horse. The day was dark and lowering, and the wind high. “The wide enclosure at the Abbey of Dryburg was thronged with old & young; and when the coffin was taken from the hearse, and again laid on the shoulders of the afflicted serving men, one deep sob burst from a thousand lips. Mr. Arch deacon Williams read the burial service I’he subjoined severe, but well merited re buke °t the chairman of ihe Sena e Comm t e un Post Unices and Post Roads, for li s negiec of a high moot] duly, in catering for the base and grovelling appeale xd'party, is fiom t e Piusburgii (/azotic.”—Baltimore Patriot. ‘•If Mr. Felix Grundy had been as dilligent in pressing ins bill lo prevent steamboat disas ters, as he had been it» pushing on ihe bill to prevent the circulation of ihe notes of die United Slates Bank, ihe thanks of the whole commu nity , ould have been due tohiin. “He seems, however, to have b**en more anx ious to administer to that malignant appetite of thete uut of tlie Hermitage in his wrath against t e Bank, than t<> provide for tlie safety of his fellow citizens.”—Pittsburgh Gazette. A.e those editors so blinded bv bank influ enc.e, orso deluded by party spirit, as to sup poses for a single moment bat tliev can misf-ad tae American people, orn-uiralize the effect of the arguments of that honcrable Senator against the reissue of tlie notes of f.-funct corporal ous b* such ignorant and malignant a.tacks as the above. They surely overrate the credulity, as they underrate the inii llia nee, of the people. Here is an oh vim is ailempi made al t. is partio- alar cis-s, (when the pubic papeis of ihe coun try a:e teeming with horrble accounts of ihe effects of several recent drum boat disasters,) lo attacii tlie guilt ofthose explosions indirectly to the honorable chairman jf the Committee on ihe Judiciary, by cliatginghim, not very inex plicit!}', with being “more anxious to gratify [he malignant appetile” of Gm.

Jf the remarks of those editors wereai all justified by the taels in the case, the malignity of their purposes wuu ! d not be so manifest. VV hut are the facts 1—And what did they know lobe the farts /—Plainly the following : That at the earliest opportunity after the meet ng oftlu* Senate, in it •cemher last. Mr. Grundy having prepared a bill to prevent ihe explosion of steamb >ai b'-iho's, presumed thai br l to the Senate, (not as Chairman of the Com mitlee on Post Offices, dpc.,) but on his individ ual responsibility, and asked for its firsi reading; it was read a firs! ami second limit—debuted, amended, engrossed and passed, and was sent to tilt ih use of Representatives more than three months since—from that time Judge Grundy has had no more jurisdiction over the bill than Mr. Clay or Mr. Webster, or than eitfier of those editors. And if the editor of the Gazette considered it so important that that bill should be passed, would it not have been well for him :o have indi cated a wish on ihe subject to the member from from Pittsbugli, lion. .Mr. Biddle, who could at anytime have inqum-d in the House of ihe chairman of the committee to which the Senate’s hill was referred.—Many ofthe friends of ihe Gazette and Patiiot would have been better em ployed on that steamboat bill, than in discussing I abolition, or :i!' ; ‘ckiug appropriation bills for the suppression oi Itosmiiies. j Furthermore,the President in tnh jumua! rnos- j sage, cal! ihe attention of Congress to the reissue of the old notes of the United States Bank—that part of the message was referred to the Com mittee on the Judiciary, of which Mr. Grundy is chairman, and \ef no bill was reported on tne subject until a few weeks since—was this evi. tie nee of the eagerness of the Judge, “to admin ister to the malignant appetite” of Gen. Jackson, or of his disposition “to cater for t/ie base ap petite of party ?” If “/ic neglects any high moral duty,” as chairman of that committee, it was in not being more prompt in bringing forward a bill to arrest the irresponsible and high handed course of the bank. What off nee has this honorable Senator com mitted, that lie is adjudged by "ne of those edi tors to have “merited, well-merited a severe (pub lic) rebv.tr. ?” lie wrote a l Her to Ids constituents some time since, exposing the purposes of the United Sales Bank purlv. And he made a power!nl speech upon his bill, and m answer to Mr. Biddie’s let ter to Mr. Adams, alias bis edicltoihe banks. “Tlie very head and frunt of his offending Until this i-xtHii*, n , more.” It tlie course of the bank has been praise worthy in reissuing the notes after the charter had expired, why did not some ol its advocates in the Senate juTCy the course, and tell the country that Mr. Biddle is above all law And wlivdid iliev not advocate the course of Mr. B. as indicated in his letter to Mr. A. They knew full well that the country would not bear them out in any such advocacy. Do those edi ct s wish to he understood as jus tifying the course ofthe Bank, in issuing notes with a defunct character, and as being against the resumption of specie payment by the bank?

Rise in her estimation by the manner in which you r< ceive your sentence; let her sorrow hr* mingled with admiration, and tlieie is no knowing how soon things will change. These instmeions you will perceive, are not intended for every one. as tliev require skill, tact, quickness, and fi-eliug, in order to be appreciat'd and and acted upon.

Webster, on the Sub- Tints ury Bill. Di ltiered in the Senate of the United States, Minch 22, 1S3S. Mr. President: Yfier having addressed th* Senate twice, 1 would owe an apology, under ordinary circumstances, for again intruding my self on its patience. But, after what fell fioin me Senator from Massacl usetts, nearest to me, (Mr. Webster,) the other dav, tiie greater part of which was noi only directed against my ar guments, but al me personally, I feel that mv silence, and not my notice of his remarks, vvo.-l I req-.ire an apology. And yet, notwithstanding I am thus constrained again to address the Se nate, 1 fear it will be inijiossible to avoid excit ing some impatience, fatigued and exhausted as it must be by so long a d senssiun; to prevent which, as far as practicable, 1 shall aim at a* much brevity a* possible, consistently with jus lice Ik myself and the side 1 suppoit. The Senator’s speech was long and multifar ious, consisting of many parts, which, had little or no connexion with the question under con sideration. For the sake of brevity and dis tinctness, I propose to consider il under four heads. First, Ids preliminary disrouise, which ueuted at large of credits and bunks, with very hide reference to the subject. Next, his argu ments on the question at issue; and that to be followed by his reply to my arguments at this and the extra session; and, finally, his conclu sion, which was appropriated wholly to per sona! remarks, and^a comparison between his and my public course, without having the slight est relation either to the subject or any thing I had said in the debate, but which the Senator obviously considered as the most important por tion of his speech. He devoted one day almost wholly to it, and delivered himself with an ear- estness nncl vehemence which clearly manifested the importance which he had attached to it. I shall, as in duty bound, pay my respects first to that, which so manifestly occupied the highest place in his estimation, though standing at the outtoni ill the order of bis remarks. The senator opened this |>ortion of his speech with much courtesy, accompanied by many re marks of respect and regard, which 1 under stood to be an intimation that lie Jt-sired (lie at tack be was ab-*ut to make io bo attributed to political, and not personal motives. 1 accept the intimation, and shall meet him in the sense he intended. Indeed, there never lias been, between tlie Senator and myself, the least per sona! difference, nor has a word having a per sonal bearing, ever passed between us in debate, piior to the present occasion, wuhin my recol lection during the long period we have been in public life, except on the discussion of the Force Bill and Proclamation which, considering how often we have stood opposed <*n deep and exci ting questions, may be regarded as not a little remmkable. But our political relations have not been on ns good a looting as our personal. He seems t*> flunk that vve had harmonized not badly till 1824, when, according to his version, 1 became too sectional for him to ac: anv longer wi h m**; but which I shall hereafter show ori- ginaied in a very (iiffoiont cause. My impres sion, I must say, is different, very different from that of the Senator’s. From tlie commence ment of our public life to tne present time we have differed on almost all questions involving the principles of Government and its permanent policy, with the exception of a short interval, while i was in the War Department, when the Senator agreed with the S-.-U'h on tlie protective system af*d sum-: other measures. 1 do not con sider onr casual concert, during the last few years of ihe laio Administraion. when vve were both opposed to the Tt* entive power, i s eon.*!!- tilting an exception. It was understood that we both ndl.f-ri d to our principles and views of policy without the I* red surrender, and our per sonal relations were fori nff and cslJ, during the whole period. In faci, vve *.■ veJ in entirely different spheres We -ofif red in relation to the origin and charac'd of th- Gove ninent, the principles on which it rested, an ! the policy it ought to pu -sne; and I could not at a" sympa thizo with *he grave: and dee,* toil • with which the Senator pronovmced our final separation, as • e was pleased tocall it, and which, in my opin ion, vv *uld have bvsn much more appropriate io tin: separation of those who had been long and intimately united in the support of the same piiuciples and policy, than to the slight and ca sual relations, persona! and political, which had existed between us. Setting, then, aside n'l persona! motives, I mav well ask, what political grief, what keen disappointment is it, which at this time could in duce him to make the attack he lias on mo, and 1 might add, in the manner in which he made ii? The Senator himself shall answer the question He has unfolded tlie cause of his grief, arid noimed to tlie source of his disappointment.— He told us that “victory was within reach, and mv co-operation only was wanted to prostrate forever lbo.se in power ” These low words are - volume. They disclose all. Yes, victory wa- - within U ,e ai ' ln outstretched, the han<! expanded to seize It, r. u d 1 would no: co Senator. Tne other would have been scattered! and destroyed, and his party, uud their princi ples and police, would have been left undispu ted masters of the field, unresisted and irresisti. ble. The first fluffs of ihe victory would nave’ been the reunion ol the political and money pow er—a vveddeu union never more to be dissolved. The tariff would have been renewed. I may now speak positively, after the declaration of the Senator, to be attain followed by an over flowing revenue, pro fins - «nd corrupt expendi tures hraw surplus, and overwhelming patron age, which would iiavc closed the door to wealth and distinction to nil who refused to bend the knee at he shrine of the combined powers.— All this was seen and fully comprehended by the Senator; and hence again, 1 repeat, his deep griel, is keen disappointment, and his attacks on me, for iefusing lo co operate. The Senator must have known that, in refu sing. I acted on principles and opinions long en- tertnined and ully declared years ago. In tny re-. Iv to his :iss<K-iate in this joint war on me, in which I am aitackcd at once in front and rear,. I demonstrated, to ihe satisfaction of the Sen ate, the truth of vviiat I assert so completely, that tlie Senator's associate did not even attempt denial. And yet, such is the depth of the Senator’s grief and disap|<oin’ment, that it hur- jied him to a repetition of exploded charge* which, in his cooler moments, he must know to be unfounded. He repeated the stale and re fitted charge of a summerset, of going over, and of being struck with a sudden thought; mid summoned up all his powers of irony anil dec- nutation, of which he proved himself to be a great mas or o:i tho occasion, lo make mv Edge- field letter, in which I assigned my reason for refusing to co operate, ridiculous. 1 so*- in all this but I ho disappointed hopes of one who had fixed Ins gaze intensely on power that had elud- edjbis grasp, and who sought tt wreak his re- sen'ment on him who had refused to put tbo splendid prize in his hands. He resorted to ri dicule, because ii was the only vveu; on that truth and justice hud left him. He well kuowa how much deeper are the wounds that they in flict than the s-iight punctures that the pointed, but feeble, shafts of ridicule leave behind; and he used the more harmless weapon only because be could not command the more deadly. That is in my hand. I Brandish it in his eyes- ft i* the only one J need, and 1 intend io use it freely on this occasion. After pouring out his wailing in such doleful tones, because I would not co-operate in placing him and Ins party in power, and prostrating my own, tl e Senator next attacks me because I sta led in mv Edgefield letter, as I understood him, that I rallied on Gen. Jackson with the view of putting down the taiitF by Executive influence. 1 have looked over that leiter with care, and can find no such expression. [Mr. Webster.— It was used at the extra session.] I was about to add that I had often used it, and cannot but feel surprised that the Senator should postpone the notice of it till this late period, if he thought it deserving reply. Why did he not reply to it years ago, when 1 first used it in debate? But the Senator asked what 1 meant by Executive influence. Did I mean his veto? He must have* asked ihe question thoughtlessly; He must' know that the veto can only apply io- bills on their passage, and could not possibly be used iu case of existing laws, such as tiie tariff acts.— He also asked if there was concert in putting down the tariff between myself and tlie present Chief Magistrate? 1 reply bv asking him «*. question, to which, as a New England man-, hw cannot object. He lias avowed bis determina tion, in a certain contingency, which he thinks is near, that he® ill move the renewal of thetas riff. I ask, is there coneerl on that point, bo- tween him and his associate, in this attack?— And finally, he asks if I disclosed my motive* then? Yes; 1 am not in the habit t-f disguising them. 1 openly and constantly avowed that it was one of my leading reasons in suppoiting Gin Jackson, because I expected lie would us©* his influence to effect a gradual, but thorough, reduction of the tariff that would reduce the- system to the revenue point; an I when [ saw reason to doubt whether he would accomplish: what 1 deem so important, 1 did not wait thee- vent of Ins election, but moved openly uud bold ly in favor of State interposition, as a certain remedy which woo'd not fail to effect the reduo- lion, in the event he should disappoint me. The S*-na!or, after despatching mv letter, c* ncluded bis speech by volunteering a compa rison between Ins and tny public character, not very flattering to me, b n highly complimentary to himself. lie represented me as sectional; iw the habit of speaking constantly of the uncon stitutional and oppressive operations of the tar iff; which he thought vary unpatriotic; of ba«- ini certain sinister o 1 jeets in view in c.-d ing on the S tud* to umte, in marching off under ihe- Stale Rights banner while lie paints himself in. the ir o->i glowing and opposite colors. Them is, Mi. Presid lit, no disputing about lasie— such are tire effects of a difference of organiza tion and education, thai wl at is off-nsive to one- is often agreeable to another. According to my conception, nothing can be rr.ore painful than lo pronounce our own praise, particularly in contrast wi ll another, even when forced to do- so iii self-defence; b it bow one can rise in his- place, when neither bis motive nor conduct is impeached, and when there i# nothing in the question, or previous discussion, tha’ would pos sibly justify it. and pronounce an eu'ogv on him- self which a inod-st man would Jb'ush to prc«- rionnce on a Washing!* n or a Franklin io his face, is to me utterly incomprehensible. But, if the Senator, in pronouncing his gorgeous i-iecc ol autobiography, had contented himself in sinij ly proclaiming, in his deep tone to tha. Senate and the assembled multitude of specta tors, that he come into Congress as the repre- operate. Hhpce the grief, hence the keen dis-j senlative ofthe American people; t hat, if h«r appoin* moot, and hence the waters of bitterness that have rolled their billows against ma. And what a victory: Not simply the going out of one party and the Wining in ofanother; not mere ly the expulsion ofthe Administration, and the induction ofthe Opposition, but a great political revolution, carrying wiili il the fundamental principles of the Government and a permanent change of policy. It would have brought in, not only the Senator and his party, but their po. litical creed, ns announced by him in tbeir dis- cussion on the Proclamation and Force Bill, with which he now taunts 'hose in power—a fact to he not' d and remembered. He, *he champion of those measures, against whom I contended foot io foot fur one entire session, now casts up to me, that in refusing to co-operate with him, I protect the party in power, not a small portion of whom, I have good reason to believe, were drawn bv the adverse current of the times re luctantly from their own principles to the Sup port of those measures, and with it the Sena'or and his principles. Yes, I repeat, it would have brought in the Senator nnd his consolidation doctrines, which regard this Government as one great National Republic, with the right to con- strue finally and conclusively the ex»eut of its own powers, and to enforce its const ruction at the point of the bayonet; doctrines which at a blow, sweep a wav everv vestige of Stale Rights, and reduces tiie States to mere peitv and depen dent corporations. It would have also brought in his policy, bank, tariff, and all. Even now* when victory is still uncertain, the Senator nn- was b .rn for any good, it was for tlie good of the whole people, and the defence of the Con- s-ilution; that lie habitually acted as if acting in the eves of the framers of the Constitution; that it would lie easier to drive these pillars from their bases, than to drive or Seduce him from his lofty purposes; that lie would do noth ing to weaken tho brotherly love between these Slates, and every thing that they should remain united, ben- ficiallv »nd thoroughly forevi r. I would have gazed in silent wonder, without ut- teiing a wool n’ the extiaordituny spectacle, and the happy s.-II'd- lusion in which he seems- to exist. But when lie undertook not only to' erect an image to himself, as with distorted limbs nnd features, to heighten and render mine di vine his own image, he invited, lie challenged, naV, he compelled me to inquire into the high qualities which lie arrogates to himself, and tiie truth of tlie com| arson which he has drawn between us. If the inquiry should excire soma leminescenrs not very agreeable io the Senator,- or disturb tlie happy' sell delusion in which he reposes, he must blame not me, but his own self-sufficiency and boasting at my expense. Know v ourself, is an ancient maxim, ihe wis dom of which I never belbre so fully realized. How imperfectly even tho talented and intelli gent know themselves! Uur understanding,' like our eyes, seems to be given, not to see our features, but those of orheis. flow diffident we ought lo be of any favorable opinion that' vve may"have formed of ours-Ives!
