Si.vate, Mr. Mason moved an amendment to the bounty land bill providing for the issue of Military land scrip which bnall be received in payment for public lands, no matter by whom presented, instead of leaving to the soldier the option of locating the land himself. The Senate then went into executive session. Horse. Morning session was occupied with a discission of the resolution to bring Richie to the bar of the House for contempt, in refusing to give another bundlecund letter. Mr. Fitch strenoiisly defended Richie gainst attack made by Mr. Evans of Maryland. Afiernoon House retimed consideration of the Texas boundary bill, when a number of amendments were proposed and debated till a late hour. The debate was interspersed with much confusion. House adjourned. Among the Senate confirmations this week, are Henry I Turner as Treasurer of St. Louis, Samson Mason, District Attorney of Ohio, and Mr. Sweetzcr Attorney of Western Penna. Resignation of Mr. McKennon. Washingtox, Aug. 29. Mr. McKennon's resignation was officially announced to-day. His latter is dated Washington, Pa. August 2oth.

Last Moments and Execution of Professor Webster. BosTOif, Aug. 30. E'ujht o'clock, m. m. The streets and house tops in the immediate vicinity of the jail arc crowded. Immense excitement. It is thought Webster will be executed about nine o'clock. Ten o'clock, . m. Drop with Webster fell at twenty Twelve o'clock, m Webster died firmly and penitently, without a struggle. Boston, Aug. 30, 8 p. m. Prof. Webster, after bis family left him las-t night, as he confidently alleged, in perfect unconsciousness of his coining fate, was searched and placed in a new cell, in order to prevent any attempted suicide. Dr. Putnam left him at nine o'clock, last night, and from that time till twelve o'clock he passed in devotional conversation with his watchers. At twelve he fell into a short doze, but did not sleep heavily, awaking at times and conversing. Ho spoke of his impending fate with fortitude and resignation, and seemed quite grateful that the time of his death had been kept from his family. At the various noises of the dawning of a new day, he seemed to be somewhat agitated, but soon recovered his composure. By advice, he breakfasted on tea, with bread, inviting the officers to partake with him and furnishing them with bread. He made the preparations for ascending the scaffold with firmness. About three hundred persons were admitted to the jail yard, and the house-tops and the windows adjoining the jail were crowded with persons, among whom were many ladies. The streets near the jail were also crowded, but not densely. At nine o'clock this morning the last religious ceremonies were commenced by Dr. Putnam, consisting of a fervent prayer. He invoked the prescient Spirit and grace of God for him who was so soon to die; and he prayed that the Professor's repentance might be accepted, and that he might be prepared to meet death. Jones was tho officer who attended the Professor throughout the protracted scene, and he as well as Leighton were very kind to the unfortunate man. . Last night Dr. Putnam remained more than .two hours with Dr. Webster, engaged in devotional excrcics. . After Putnam left, Webster continued his devotions, at intervals, and conversed with considerable freedom with the officers; and, being fully conscious of his doom, he said repeatedly that he had had great dread And horror of the thought of being hung, but now was .indifferent about it. He said he had no fear and was perfectly prepared to imeet his fate. His appearance throughout confirmed .his statement of being reconciled and resigned. His health and spirits remained good, and he had apparently lout no flesh during his imprisonment, but had probably gained. The erection of the gallows was commenced after day. lijrht and completed before eiht o'clock. Upon the requisition of High Sheriff Evelcth, a force of one hundred and twenty-five men, consisting of one hundred police and watchmen, and twenty-five constables, were detailed for a guard, of whom twenty-five constables were stationed within the yard and seventy five without. The scaffold was in the centre of the yard, and more pea to the outside than it would have been at anv other spot. The scaffold was changed from the northwest corner to the centre of the yard, but it did not diminish the view from the rear of the buildings on Lowell street, and added much to the view from Leverett street. The officers present at the execution were High Sheriff Evcleth, deputy sheriffs Watson, Freeman, Daniel J. Coburn, Jabez Pratt, Erastus Rugg, Benjamin F. Bailey, and Jos. Coburn. The witnesses, invited by the high sheriff and by tho State authorities, numbering one hundred and twentyfive, were admitted at ten minutes before 9 o'clock. The high sheriffcalled the names on the list of witnesses to the execution. He stated that they had assembled by his invitation as lawful witnesses of the execution of John W. Welister. He requested them to keep order during the solemn ceremonies, A company then formed in column of two and two and visited the prisoner's cell, where the Rev. Dr. Putnam offered np a prayer. The hall leading to the cell was full and stillness and solemnity prevailed. The witnesses then returned to the yard. At twenty minutes before 10 o'clock High Sheriff Eveleth, attended by deputies, Coburn, Freeman, Rugg, and others, conducted Webeter to the scaffold. The last duty of the sheriff was then performed. Professor Webster died firmly and penitently, with hardly a struggle Washington, Ang. 30, 8 p. m. Senate. The bill granting lands to Michigan to aid in the construction of a canal connecting Lakes Superior and Michigan was taken up and debated at length, the question of internal improvements being incidentally discussed. The question being taken, the bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time. 4 . The Senate then went into executive session and subsequently adjourned to Monday. Hocse. The House was occupied all day in diwussing a resolution to bring Ritchie before the bar of the House and in debate upon the Texas boundary bill, but adjourned without coining to a conclusion on either ques tion.

From the St. Louis Reveille, 21th ult.J Important from New Mexico Mai. II. H. Wei"htman, U. S. Senator elect from

New Mexico, arrived in town yesteTday morning, en route for Washington. Subjoined we give an important extract from Maj. W. It will be telegraphed to-day to tho seat of government, and it clearly evidences the state of exasperation which a misunderstanding between the U. S. military force and tho people of the territory has brought about. To the President of the United States. SiK: The people of New Mexico have formed and ratified a Republican Constitution, elected under it Senators and a Representative, who are on their way to the Capital to seek for New Mexico's admission into tha Union. Besides tho threatened invasion by Texas, which the President has taken steps to prevent, and the actual dai ly invasion of Indians, the rights of the people of New 5lexi o are now leing invaded by the commander of the 9th Military Department. He has declared his intention ol resisting the opera tion of the Government, ratified by a vote of six thousand seven hundred and seventy-one to thirty-nine, with all the means at his disposal, and of maintaining the military supremacy which has heretofore obtained, although the same has never been made or approved by the Congress, and is utterly repugnant to the declared will of the inhabitants. The maintenance by violence of the military govern ment extends not only to tho form of government, but also to the civil officers whoso conduct in the past has so much increased the disgust of the people for the antirepubliean government under which they have" suffered. The division of parties in the recent elections having been authorities against people, resulted as such contests invariably will, when the people know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain them, in the defeat of the un thorlties. and must be considered a vote of want of ponn - tence in e '',,UWI7 comrau.tu.cr a miniaterthrowing the whole pow'er and control of tho elections (including the designation of precincts, nomination of judges, and making returns) into tho hands of the authorities, the army office holders, judges, prcfectos, alcaldes, sheriff's, alquaziles, jailors, contractors, sutlers, governors, in terpreters, etc., and the large vote ol tue employees ol the quartermaster's department, weie all in vain brought against tho people, let, after a triumph over such in fluences, the arms of the United Mates are about being turned against her citizens to force upon them a govern ment which, having failed to protect life, liberty, property, or Vie free exercise of reliyion. is in direct violation of the guaranties of tlie treaty ol Uaudalupe Jiiuaigo. The lately repudiated civil authorities, in order to the maintenance of their positions, have systematically poisoned the public mind of the United States in representing the people of New Mexico as incapable of self, government; and a plan is now developing itself, backed by the bayonets of tho general government, to tor ture, by acts of oppression, the inhabitants into acts of resistance and violence, which (acts) are to be used as arguments to prove their incapacity. I have deemed it my duty to avail myself of the earliest opportunity to inform you, sir, that the commander of the 9th military departinemt, professing to act by by virtue of authority from the Executive, and disregarding the precedents of Oregon and California, is appropriating power which is conferred by the Constitution upon the Congress, the which. Congress not exercising, can onlv safelv be trusted with the people. The inal-administration of an anti-republican form of government, has caused many native New Mexicans to retain tKeir character as Mexican citizens, has founded a flourishing colony beyond the limits of the United States, and has decreased materially the number of in habitants of New Mexico. The continuance of the same svstem will increase disgust among the inhabitants of the Colony; and should, unfortunately for the nation" al good faith and the well being of New Mexico, Texas jurisdiction be extended, tho cup will be full, and New Mexico depopulated. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, your ob't serv't. R. II. WEIGHTMAN, Senator Elect, New Mexico From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The Fugitive Slave Bill. The Union of Sunday last contains a copy of this Bill as it passed the Senate. As much interest is felt to knowits provisions, we have made a synopsis of them, which we present below. We should iudge that tho bill has been drawn with much care, and is designed by its author to give every possible facility for the recapture of fugitive slaves.- Should this bill, in its present shape, become a law, and fail to meet the objects of the South, we apprehend no effort noed ever again bo niado to get a law passed on the suljject that will. We copy the 5th section entire, as it is. in our opinion, the most impor tant one in the bill. One great difficulty now, in the vav of a slave o'ner recovering his fugitive slaves in this State, is, the difficulty of getting an officer to make the arrest or capture. It will be seen that this 5th section provides most effectually for that want. Sec. 1, declares U. o. Commissioners, with the pow ers of a Justice of the Peace in respect to offenders for anv crime or offence against the United States, by arrest:ng, imprisoning, or nailing tue same, uy viriuo oi mc act of Congress of SeptemTn'r 2-1, 1789, are required to exercise and discharge all tho powers and duties confer red by this act. Sec 2. authorizes the Supreme Court of each organized Territory to appoint these Commissioners, like the Circuit Courts of the United States. Sec. 3, requires the Circuit Courts and Superior Courts of each organized Territory to enlarge from time to time, the number of Commissioners, with a view to afford reasonable facilities to reclaim fugitives from labor. Sec. 4. confers on these Commissioners concurrent jurisdiction with the Judges of the Circuit and District Courts; and the power to issue certificates to slave claimants, npon satisfactory proof being made, with authority to take and remove such slaves to the State w here they belong. Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of all marshals and deputy marshals to obey and execute all warants and precepts issued under the provisions of this act, when to them directed; and should any marshal or deputy Marshal refuse to receive such warrant or other process, when tendered, or to use all proper means diligently to execute the same, he shall on conviction thereof be fined in the sum of one thousand dollars to the use of such claimant, by the circuit or dis trict court for the district of such marshal ; and alter ar rest of such fugitive by such marshal or his deputy, or whilst at any tunc in his custody under the provisions of this act, should such lugitive escape, whether with or without the assent of such marshal or deputy, such mar shal shall be liable on his official bond to be prosecuted, for the full value of the 'service or lalor of said fugitive irr tho State, Territory, or district whence ho escaped ; and the better to enable the said commissioners when thus appointed, to execute their duties faithfully and efficiently, in conformity with the requiremenuts of the constitution of the United States and of this act, they are hereby authorized and empowered, within their counties respectively, to appoint, in writing under their hands, any one or more suitable persons, from time to time, to execute all such warrants and other process as may be issued by them in the lawful performance of tneir respective amies; wiin autnoniy to sucn commissioners, or the persons to bo appointed by them, to exe cute process as aiorcsaid, to summon and call to their aid the bystanders, or pause comitatus of the proper coun ty, when necessary to insure a faithful observance of the clause of the constitution referred to, in conformity with the provisions of this act ; and all good citizens are here by commanded to aid and assist in the prompt and effi cient execution of this law, whenever their services may be required, as aforesaid, for that purpose; and said warrants shall run and be executed by said officers anywhere in the State within which thev are issued. Sec. 6, provides for the pursuit and reclamation of fugitive slaves, either under a warrant from a judge of a circuit or district court, or a commissioner, or by seiz ing and arresting such fugitives without process, and for taking them before such court or commissioner, whose duty it shall be to bear and determine the case, and up. on satisfactory proof to make out and deliver to tho claimant, bis or her agent or attorney, a certificate set ting forth the substantial facts as to the service duo and of the escape, with authority to tho claimant, his or her agent br attorney, to tnko and remove such fugitives from labor to the State from which they escaped. Tho testimony of the fugitivo shall not bo admitted in ev dence ami the certificate shall Lis conclusive of the right of the claimant to remove such fugitive, and shall also prevent all molestation of tho claimant by any process issued by any court, judge, magistrate or other person whomsoever. Sec. 7, inposes a fine of $1000 and imprisonment not exceeding six months, on any person or persons who shall obstruct, hinder, or prevent such claimant, his or her attorney, from arresting a fimitive from labor or service ; or who shall rescue or aid in rescuing such fugitive; or who shall, directly or indirectly, aid or abet such fugitive in escaping from snch claimant; or who shall harlor or coneeal such fugitive knowingly. Such offenders are also liable to damages in a civil suit. Sec. 8. regulates the fees of Marshals and their deputies, Clerks of Courts, and Commissioners. They are so fixed as to induce the officers to act favorably to the claimant. Ed. Enq. Sfc 9, requires the officer in certain cases to remove the slave and deliver him or her to the owner or his agent, in tin State where he or she escaped from. To do which ho officer is authorized to employ as many persons as he may suppose necessary to prevent a res cue. Sf.c. 10. provides for tho reclamation oi slaves es caping from the Iistrit of Columbia.

The Mail Robbery. The Cleveland Plaindealer, of the 24th, contains

the particulars relative to the plot laid, arrest, and escape ol uen. O. llinton, recently. He was ar rested on a charge of robbing; the mail of seventeen thousand dollars : Several large packages of money have been abstracted from the mails within a few months past, and Deputy Post Master Haskell and Government Constable McKinstry,have been at work to ferret out the rogue. llinton has been in the habit of traveling to and fro in the stages, professing always to be on business for the company, and consequently a privileged character among the mail bags. He was suspected some time since, as several robberies took place when he was known to be aboard. With an eve on him. the word was " passed along the line," and decoy packages, with money marKea,werr nui into ine mau on purpose to ue stolen out. Whenever it was known that the General was about to travel, he was sure to be accompanied with one of these packages in the mail. If it passed on to its destination unmolested, its wrapper was changed and snt in another direction. At last the bait took. The old fellow, after smelling round the hook awhile, swallowed it and was caught. He was arrested, and targe quantities of tho marked money lound on Ms person, lie was examined ana bound over under a ten thousand dollar bond. Heapplied to several citizens for bail, but without effect. The old jail yawned to receive him, but the General did n't like the" accommodations. He had been used to stopping at tho best hotels, and living on the liest they afiorded. Ahe company, although select, was not pre cisely to his taste. They were thieves and roblers on too small a scale to be respectable. Ho preferred the tYcddell House, and importuning the Post Master, was permitted to take up quarters there for the night, and nmnin in fMimnnnv with his kpnr a nrivilpnpil mipif. ..-.. . ; . ' : , , lhns, in a well-lighted, beautifully lurnislicd room at the WeJdell, do we find this genteel villain at 12 o'clock last night, lus kind and obliging Government waiters keeping vigils o'er him. But where is ho this morning? Ah, ha! Where now is this royal guest, General t llinton? ' It appears that the General in " The wee ama' hour of night." committed a "breach of generous confidence," as he had often done before. He took his guard while off their guard , and va mosed through the door, which trai left ajar, oiuckly turning the key upon them, locking them in Here was a pickle, and such a rumpus followed as mado night hideous. Stamping, hallooing, and kicking against tho door, brought up the sleepers of tho Weddcll from pit to dome, and in dishabille, such as ghosts are said to wear. What is the matter? cried an outsider. Open the door:" responded the enraged, uen. llinton has escaped? Bar the doors! " " Fire! "." Rouse the city! " But the General had taken good care of himself. He had either gone down into tho underground passages of the V odileu, or vanished in the moon-light. At all events he was no where to be found, and no trace of his whereabouts has leen discovered. It is supposed, however, the General has quit staging and gone f steam floating, or perhaps yawl boating Tho Lake is hard by, and the land of rogues lies just ! vond. The General is no doubt after that Mistress the Poet sings about: 41 Rule Britannia, Mistress of the Sen." Coffee, pro and cox. Some of our eminent seien tide men are again squabbling on the vexed question as to whether coffee docs or docs not afford nourishment. One of them has laid down what seems a paradox, viz: that coffee contains fewer nutritive properties than the ordinary food of man, and yet that the man who makes it his principal food is stronger than one who feeds on meat and w nie. In support of this paradox, our sarant calls the example of tho miners of the coal pits Lharleroi, who never eat meat except a very smafl quantity on bun davs, and whose daily meals consist exclusively of bread and butter and coffee. These men, be says, are strong, muscular, and able to do, and actually perform, more hard work than the miners of the coal-pits of Onzin, in France, w ho feed largely on the more nutritive articles, meat and vegetables, and drink wino or beer. Another vacant, taking nearly the same view, insists that the Arabs are able to live moderately, and to make the long abstinences, as they do, entirely on account of their ex tensive use of cotl'ec. But this last assertion is demolished by the declaration of M. d'Abbadie, who has just returned from Abyssinia, that certain tribes of Arabs and Ahyssinians who do not use coffee, can support greater latiguo than those who do. In presence ol such very contradictory facts, who shall say which of the learned doctors is in the right. 2 art Correspondent London Literary Gazette. Fillmore Men. An old author observed that among all the systems of idolatry w ith which the world alounds "there is no sect which worships the setting sun." Men worship the rising sun ; and political aspirants pay their uevotion to incoming Kings, ana incoming presidents. There is a marvel us increase within the last fortnight in the number of Mr. Fillmore's friend and admirers. A few days ago, a non-confirmed office-holder in the empire state, who had been a prominent member of the "Sew ard party," and of course a strenuous opponent to the rival clique, was heard eulogizing the new President in the warmest terms. A democratic neishbor afterwards inquired of him what it all meant, and remarked that he seemed to have changed his tone. "Why, you see, said the other, "General Taylor is dead, and as a claim ant to tho estate, I can't afford to quarrel with the exe cutorT" Tho potency of circumstances to alter cases has long since passed into a proverb.
