DEATH OP DANIEL WEBSTER.
Philadelphia, October 95. 1852.
The gloom which hat pervaded the city
for three day pat, wa deepened into awe
and woe this morning, by the painful an-non-icemeul
of the death of the great itate
man and patriot, DANIEL WEBSTER, v
He died on Sunday morning, a few min
utca before three o'clock, in the fulljioitse
sion of all hi facultiee and with hi mind
clear and unclouded. When informed by
hi physician that the hour wot approaching;
he called the member of hi family around
him and addressed to each one a few wonin
of farewell. After calling down the blr.eing
of heaven on his friends, Mr. Webster said,
as if speaking to bimseir, "on the 84th of
October all that is mortal of Daniel Webster
will be no more." He then prayed in a full
clear voice, ending with the petition. "H. a
vonly Father forgive my sin nd receive me
to Ihyself." Ho then conversed with Dr
Jeffries, who said in reply that he could do
nothing more for his- relief. Mr. Webster
rejoined : "then I am to be here patiently to
the end if it be so may il come soon."
One of the dying refluent of Mr. Web
ster va that his funeral should be piivate.
His body js to be deposited in the family
lomb at Marshrluld. No time ha been
fixed, nor arrangements determined upon for
tho interment.
Further PARTicttAR.
We learn from a gentleman just arrived
J from Murehfield, that up to 10 o'clock on
'J Saturday evening, Mr. Webster continued
lo fail very rapidly. Arousing from his leth.
ary at about 10 o'clock, hi countenance
became animated, and his eye flashed with
its usual brilliancy, when in full health. He
exclaimed "I still i.ivk," and immediate
ly sank into tranquil unconsciousness. These
were the last words of the world renow ned
Daniel Webster. His breathing now became
fainter, nnd his strength seemed entirely
gone. He lingered in this condition until 22

for him than to administer occasionally a e
dative poiion. ThP," aid Mr. Webster,
"I am to be here patiently lo the end if it
be o, may il come soon." .
At ten o'clock he wa. .till kmer,
perfeclly conscious of everything thai passed
within his sight or hearing.
Between 10 and II o'clock Mr. Webster
tencated distinctly, the words, "poetry
G.a'.. Fletcher Webster then repeated
the first line of Gray' Elegy : -. '
The curfew MM the knell of Pr"" . ...
"Thai's it.-thai's it," said Mr. Webter.
The book wa then bronpht ami the whole
stniixa read, which seemed lo give tho dy
ing man much pleasure.
From 12 to 9 o'clock he manifested much
restlessness, and slight suffering. Fainlness
also occurred, which led him to think that
death was near. While in this condition
some expressions fell from him indicating a
hope thut his mind would remain to him to
tho Inst. Mr. Webster also spoke of (he
difficulty of dying, when Dr. Jeffrie re
pented the veise, ''Though I walk through
tho valley of tho t-haduw of death, I will
fear no evil, for Thou art with me, ihy lod
and thy stufl they comfort me " Mr. Web
ster exclaimed lo this, "Tho fact the fact
--lhai is what I meant thy rod Ihy rod
thy staff thy stuff.
The closo of life was perfectly tranquil
and easy. Mr. Webster wa unable lo
witness his last moments, and awaited the
event in her own apartment.
Mr. Wcbslcr' special directions are lhal
his remains be buried iu the most unosten
tatious manner, in the tomb at South
Marshflcld.

Mr. Webster' Congressional career em
braced eight years in the House of Repre
sentatives, uiid about nineteen years in the
Senate, in all about twenty-seven years, as
follows :
Elected lo Ihe House by the people of
New llamp.hirp, in November, 1812, and in
August, 1814 ; nlso, by the people of Bos
Ion, Muss, in 1822 and 1824. Elected to
Ihe Senate by the Legislature of Massachu
setts, in November, 1826 ; te-clected in
1832 and 1838 ; resigned on being appoint
ed Secretary of Stale in 1841, w hen he was
succeeded by Mr. Choule. In 1844, Mr
Websler was chosen lo succeed Mr. Choate,
(who declined a re-election,) and resigned on
being appointed Secretary of Stale, in July,
1850. We believe Mr. Websler wa never
defeated at either n popular or legislative
election when a candidate for office. He re
moved to Boston in 1818, before hi second
lorm as a member of Congress from New-
Hampshire had expired, and consequently
m
minutes before 3 o'clock this morning, w hen
his spiiit left its mortal tenement and return
ed lo God.
His bedside wa surrounded by his son,
Fletcher Webster, Mr. and Mr. Puigc, Mr.
Harvey, Mr. Levy, Edward Curtis, Mr.
Thomas, Mr. Appleton Dr. Warren and Jef
fries, Mr-Abbott, and George T. Curtis. A
few moments after he expired, M:s. Webstei
entered the room to gaze upon the lifeless
remains of her beloved partner. The scene
was painful beyond description. Her grief
gave uttcrence loathe most agonizing tones
of sorrow. But it were vain to attempt to
mirror the scene. It was a picture never to
bo forgotten. ,
Those who saw Mr. Webster a few mo
ments after death slate that though much
changed, yet there remains those character
istics of the great man, as strong in death as
they had been in life.
Th a eb O'Clock, A. M. Mr. J J. Marsh,
Mr. Haskell, and Mr. Long, were entiusted
with special despatches to Ihe President
and Department at Washington, announcing
the sad event.
They were accompanied by Messrs. Ab
bot and Bantsinger, who came through by
extraordinary express. They arrived in
Boston at half past six o'clock this morning
and gave the first iuformation of Mr. Web
ster' death.
Tftey were also empowered by Mr. Chas.
A. White and H. Lyman, Esq., of the Web
ster State Executive Committee, who were
at Marshfield, to instruct the Artillery to fire
one hundred minute-guns.
Drs. Jeffries and Porter have intimated
their opinion, that the immediate cause of
Mr. Webster's death is a cancerous affection
of some of Ihe smaller intestines.
During the early part of the afternoon
there wai some decrease in Ihe swelling of
Mr. Webster's abdomen, and fewer symp
loms of nausea, but there wa no sign of
rallying.
Repeatedly in the course of the forenoon
and the eurly part of Ihe afternoon, he con
versed freely and with great clearness of
detail in relation to bis private affairs and
the condition of his farms, staling his plans
fully, and the manner in which ha wished
to have them carried out.
About half-past five o'clock, Mr. Webster
was again seized with violent nausea, and
raised considerable dark matter tinged with
blood. Exhaustion now increased rapidly
and his physicians held another consultation
which resulted in a conclusion that his last
hour was fast approaching.
:jj Ha received the announcement and re
quested that the female member of his
family might be called in, vir. : Mrs Web
ster, Mr. Fletcher Webster, Mr. J. W.
Paige and Mis Downs, of New Voik, to
each, calling them, individually by name,
headdressed a few word of farewell and
religious consolation
Next he had called in the male members
of his family and the personal friends who

made known this morning, the flag on the
City Hall was displayed at half-mast, and

LETTER MOM THE EDITOR DATED
PinLADFxnriA, Oct. 26, 1852.
The public house of the city are at pre
ent pretty well filled up with visitor and
travellers. The wea.her hai been delight
ful, which, with the amusement of the
season, alway render a visit at this period
oi me year, pleasant and agreeable. What
we want in the Susquehanna valley, is, the
speedy eitention of our rail road. The
packet boat were well enough in their
day, but they are behind the age, and when
crowded, a the boat wa when I came
down, it i almost intolerable. Capt. Mur
phy did all in hi power to make hi pas
senger comfortable, and about midnight
gave up to me hi only bed, which wa
made up by spreading his overcoat on the
floor, with a pile of boot under hi head,
that served as pillow. Such a bed may
not be deemed a great luxury, nor answer
the purpose of a Sybarite, whose slumber
were disturbed by a crumbled rose leal, but
it served my purpose tolerably well, though
I must say, that a pillow stuffed with boots,
though a novelty, is no great improvement
over the old fashioned feather cushions. We
arrived at the Junction at half past 6 in the
morning, where we disembarked without
any breakfast, and waited with anxious
heart and empty stomachs, for the cars,
which were expected every moment, but
aiu not arrive until two o'clock. We
nnaiiy cot, to Lancaster in the evening,
and after a fast of twenty four hours, en
joyed a good supper at Hubley' Hotel, and
found excellent lodging at the house ol a
Iriend. Lancaster never had been to much
crowded before. Many person were obli
ged to go (o Columbia and the neighboring
towns for lodging. The State Fair was
well attended, and the exhibition of stock,
machinery, fruit and vegetables, w as highly
creditable. The chicken department was
unusually fine, and in my opinion, the
while Shanghais, bore off ihe palm. The
Society no doubt made considerable money,
which will be distributed m premiums, here
after.
The exhibition of the Franklin Institute
is now in lull blast. The article exhibited
are similar in character to those exhibited
heretofore, and Ihe large saloon of the Chi
nese Museum, is nightly crowded to excess.
Among the new articles exhibited, we ob
served a smoothing iron, which was heated
with charcoal, burned inside, a small chim
ney running up in front, and an opening
lor a draft behind.
Madam Sontag'a concerts have been
crowded every night since her engagement.
The tickets vary in price from $1 to $3.
She is said to be a more highly cultivated
artist than Jenny Lind, but does not pos
sess such wonderful powers of voice. Her
voice is softer, and perhaps more beauti
ful, but lacks the power of her great rival.
Tlie most wondt-riul part of the perform
ance, is the playing of Paul Julien, on the
violin. Master Julien is yet a boy, about
ten years of age, and small at that. He
plays not only with great skill and science,
but his music is most delightful. He has
but few superiors living and there are some
who prefer him even to Ole Bull.
The news of the death of Daniel Web
ster was received hereon Sunday morning.
The State House bell was tolled during the
day, and on Monday the front of Inde
pendence Hall was shrouded in mourning.
The death of Mr. Webster is a great na
tional loss. His pre-eminent abilities have
never been questioned, and he possessed,
without doubt, the greatest and most pow
erful intellect of the age. Within the last
three years the sun has gone down upon
the earthly career of four of our greatest
men who have had few equals and no su
perior in the world. Adams, Calhoun,
Clay and Webster, have gone to their final
rest. It has been my good fortune to have
seen and heard them all in the Senate and
Representative characters at Washington,
and if I mistake not it will be many years
before we shall lo ik upon their like again.
Of that class (Jen. Cass and Col. Denton,
only are left, and it is now conceded that
(Jen. Cass is the great man of this country.
The politicians are all extremely busy, and
the friends of Gen. Scott, though consider
ably disheartened at the result of the late
election in Pennsylvania, still pretend lo
keep a slilT upper lip, though they have
but little hope ol the State. The demo
crat?, on the other hand, have made a num
ber ol bets, that Gen. Pu ree will be elect
ed, without either Pennsylvania, Ohio, or
New lork.

Firb! About ten o'clock on Tuesday
night last, no little eommoiiun was produced
in our borongh by the cry of ,!fire." We all
know what an alarm of fire in an inland town
produces whether real nr false. In lets
than ten minutes, the whole town was in a
state of unwonted agitation ; and we may
add that notwithstanding the apparent noise
and confusio:i mean were adopted lo arresl
the "devouring element," in a manner so
prompt and etfiuaciuus that they must meet
the entire approval of the "Jackeys" of Phil
adelphia and New Yoik.
The fire no doubt ihe work of nil incen
diary originated in tho barn of Mr. Wine
gardner. The large engine, the small en
gine, and "volunteer engine" of Messrs Hall
Si Montgomery were soon on the spot; and
notwithstanding Ihe combustible nature of
the sheds and stable adjoining, Ihe fire was
literary quenched when it came iu con lac1
with a mound of hay.
Cap'ain Grafius it Son lost about $500
worth of stoves, upati which there i not one
cent of insurance. At ibis peculiar season of
the year, "when stoves are stoves," tho low
is vexatiously heavy : but fortunately for Ihe
Captain he has Ihe good wishe of the whole
community, with ihe necessary energy on hi
part to make those wishe productive. He
has already taken Ihe necessary step to
have a supply of stove on baud, before the
eason of snow and sleet and ice sets in.
Mr. Levi Hartman, one of ihe most talent
ed and indefatigable mechanic in our bor
ough met with a serious loss. All Ihe panel
work for Mr Faries' new building wa en
lirely deUroped. All that we can wish him
is, in Ihe language of Jaoob Faithful, "better
luck next time."
Much properly might be saveit lo thi bor
ough if a regular fire department was organ
ised. We give the hint, without volunteer
ing any suggestion a to iu formation.
Mr, Winegardner' lot i about I500--insured
for half of that amiunt.
Lyeom'mg Democrat of 25(A ins.
It will be obseived lhal Hopkins has within
twenty-three of Cass's vote, while Hoffman
falls behind Taylor's no less than 33,031.
The election in November will doubtless call
out a much heavier vote ihao that of Ihe
State elerlion. Il will probably exceed
400.000. Phila. Bulletin.
Serious Accidknt on thk Port;i: Rah.,
road. tlarrisburg, Oct. 25. The passengei
train, which left Hollidaysbnrg yesterday
(Sunday) morning, at five o'clock, broke
loose and ran down plane No. 8, breaking
two of Adams' Express cars, and killing four
valuable sheep, said to be worth jointly $ 1600.
The baggage and several of the passenger
car were also broken up. One passenger
had his feet severely injured. The othei
all narrowly escaped, by leaping from the
train before the collision took place. The
engine iandiiig at the foot of the plain wa
broken to piece.
Cotton Mill BuaED. Proeidenee, Oct.
2Slk. Tenny' cotton mill, at Millbury,
