were endeavoring to rescue the family. The

Fourteen vessels in all were driven ashore

HYDROPHOBIA,
The. following sensible suggestions for the
prevention of this frightful (ami so far as wo can
judge by experience, incnrtible) malady, being
from a man of known experience in the disease
of animaln, will be of use to our readers, in case
of any occurrence of the fearful accident, the
cflects of which they are intended to prevent.
The communication is from Mr. Ainsdic, the
veterinary surgeon ;
Xatsau street, Miililli xrx llusjiitol.
Sir, A late case of hydrophobia, reported
in the papers, induce mo, with your permission,
to oiler for the good of the public the following
observations on the disease, and the cnly means
we are acquainted with to prevent it. In the
human being it is called hydrophobia, in the dog
and other -animals rabies. We are unacquaint
ed with the nature of the poison, but it dilfers
from all other poisons by remaining apparently
ina dormant slate for weeks, or even for months,
and is not absorbed into the pystem fur 6oine
time after the bite. No remedy is known for
tho disease when once it is developed. None
of the nostrums which are said to he cures can 1
be relied upon. Th? cause of the disease is
equally unknown. Some have attribiitrd it
to the heat of the weather the 'dog luys;'o
thers to want of water, f r ill usage, but wo
have no proof of it. The presei t stunnx r is
the hottest we have known for ninny years,
and 1 have not known of any case in the me
tropolis until the one kTludod to. In many hot
climates the disease is known, and it lias raged
among us in the coldest weather.

mained for an hour or two.
On the return of the ton she was placed in a

old woman is very old, and ought to have died j

The Currency.
Wh.it will the next Legislature do, in rebitinn to
the currency, is a question frequently t-ked. The
rtitrency in the country Is m ule up almost entirely
of relief issues. In the city the currency is gold
sod silver, and par paper. Relief money does not
circulate, but linmidialcly passes into the hands of
brokers, tt a discount varying from 10 to IS per
cent. Thus we hae two curiencies, one for the
eoun'ry and ona lor the city, and until these are
equalized, thingt will not improve. We have
heard several remedies tuggested. One is to sus
pend the annual appropriation of the school fund,
which amounts la about f 350,t)0( per annum, and
appropriate the same to the redemption of the relief
ixsiiev, until they are all ahsorlicd. Another reme.
ly is, to lay a tat, the nr.fecds M be appropriated
epecifical'y to the redemption of thee issues. We j c'e'- fe" ,,,M so ''"r 'he coming M. s

Col. Webb's Case.
Col. Webb was on Saturday sentenced In tWrt
years' confinement in the State Prison, being Ilia
shortest term the law would permit. The peti
tions of 14,000 citiient of New-York, asking a re.
mission of this punishment, have ere this been laid
before the Governor. Hit decision on the esse hat
not yet bff n given, but we trust that it cannot be o
therwise than in accordance with the prayer of the
petitioners. We but speak the almost unanimous
voice of New. Yo;k when we express this senti
ment. If a concentrated effort had hern made, the
number nf petitioners for a pardon might easily
have Ifen swelled to thirty thousand legal votert of
our city indeed, lo nir e-tenths of all the persons
to whom a petition should be presented. We have
signed no petition, deeming the public expression
i. four wishes equivalent to petitioning ; we know
m .ny who hive not signed who yet ardently de
sire the success of the e iTort fr a pardon. All feel
that if C.d. Webb's fault has been greviotis, griev.
onsly hath he answered it and that to snfTer weeks
of pain and peril, nnd til be crippled for life, ought
to Ir deemed a sufficient p inishmeiitf.it- a duel
to which hr wa challenged, and which h Caul I
haidly avoid. The petitioners for a rem ssion are
at least half th - olilical opponents of Col. Webb,
and his transfer to Ihe Stite Prison would cause a
general sensation, n profound regret, throughout
our city. The (iovernor, we think, should not hes
itate to comply with the imperative demand of pub
lic sentiment in this matter. A'. V. Tribune.

The Madisonian nf yesterday contains a letter
from the P. st Mast, r Ceneral, to a gentleman in
Kentucky, on the subject nf writing on the margin
of new-paceis, and sending them through the mail
lo ovoid ihe payment of letter postage. It would
appear from the letter of Mr. WicKLirrc that ihe
gentleman to whom it is addressed had been in the
h .b t of sending papers, which he had himself recei
ved through the Post Office, to his son in Cynthia
na, Kentucky, without first erasing his name, writ
ten on the margin. The papers so sent, it would
further ap(ear, were charged with letter postigeby
the Postmaster at Cynthiana ; and this led to an in
quiry of the Postmaster Ceneral as to whethei this
charge of postage is in accordance with the law of
the land.
Mr. WicKLirrs slates in reply, that the Post
master in Cynthiana did not violate the law in ex
Hciing letter postage in the case a'luded lo. He
cou'd not know who wrote the name, and it cannot
change the question of postage whether the name
is written on the margin by the person tending it
or nn .iher. If written an I tent in tho mail, the
right to ex irt I, ttei postage attaches. Mr. W. takes
occa-ion lo state in bis leply that the prac'ice of
mairita ning a business or friendly correspondence
by writing on the margin of newspapers has been
carried to a g'e.t ex'eut. Hence the law of 1825,
imposing letter postage for euh article of which
the I'raU'lu em a.k.ge is composed, and a fine of
five dollars lor all such inlrai lions of the Post
Office leaulatiins. The Post Master lieueial
