WERSTER, A meeting of the New York Historical Society was held on Thursday evening, at Which resolutions were adopted in relation ,to tha. death of Gen. Jackson. Mr. Webster being present by invitation, rose and made the following remarks on the resolutions. We copy from the New York Courier and t,nqntrer. Mr. Webster said: It is proper and natural that the Historical Society should take notice of the death of one of its members, who has filled exalted stations in the country, and been distin guished by successive elections to the Presidency of the United States. The death of a citizen who had attained that elevation by the favor of his country, has never failed to produce a greater or less degree of public emotion. am old enough to remember the deaths of all the Pesidents who ' hire ,;d downwsrd; and each has made an impres sion of sobriety and sorrow, more or less intense on the feelings of the people, and called forth testimonies of respect front ibe country and from public bodies. This is just. It is proper to notice an e venrwhich takes from among us an emi nent citizen, distinguished by high marks of public favor. It is now a long timeaince Gen. Jackson became connected with nub. lie lite as a member of Congres 1 believe fifty years. - And t do not rememper. at the moment, whether any person associated with him in the House of Representatives at that time is living, except the venerable gentleman who is now the President of thia society. 1 here may be others, but I recol lect no. one except Mr Gallatin. The character of Gen. Jackaon while he lived, was presented in two relations to his country. Ho was a soldier, and had com manded the armies of the Republic, and he has filled the office ef Chief Magistrate. So far as regard his military repution and mer its, I partake fully in the general estimate. He was a aoldier of dauntless courage, vig or and perseverance, an officer- of skill and sagacity, of quickness of perception, and "of prompt anu resoiuie execution or his pur poses. There is probably no division of opin ion, at home or abroad, as to his merits in these particulars. , During the whole of his civil administra tion, it happened that I was a member of the Senate of the United States, and it was my misfortune to be obliged to differ with him, in regard to moslol his leading measure. To me this was painful be. cause it much better suited my temper and feelings to be able to suppoit the measures of government, than to find myself called upon by duty to oppose them. There weie occasions, however in the course 6T his administration m which no duty of opposition devolved npon me. Some ofthese were not unimportant. There were times which appeared to me to be critical. calling fur wisdom and energy em the part of ill. MJkMAMKMA. , ' I w, uis giiTsrmuBiii anu in wnicn meaaures proposed and opinions expressed by him seemed highly suitable lo the exigency. On these occasion I supported those meas ures with the same sineerity snd zeal at if I had never differred from him before, or nev er expected to differ from him again. There is no doubt that ..he sought to .distingish himself by exalting the character and hon or of his country. And tbeoccssion on which it was uttered rendcredsome what remarkable his celebrated sentiment in fervor of the pre scrvalion ofthe Union. I believe he feltthese n timent with the utmost sineerity, .and thi cannot be denied to be one strong proof of his devotion lo the true interests ofhis countty. He has now ceased from his earthly labors, and affect the public interest of -the- State only by his example end the influence of .: ' . uim vMina. v mwj well StippOSO InSt in the last days and - hours and moments ofhis life, snd iih the full consciousness of the change then before him so near, one ofhis warmest wishes would be that what ever error he might have committed ahould be passing and transitory in their effect upon the Constiuuion and institutions of his country. And while we may well ascribe the praiseworthy and benign dying senti ment to h'm let us with equal igeuuous nest cherish the feeling that whatever bo has sccomplished for the real good of the country, its true character and real glory tnsy remain a tust inheritance attached to his memot. - -"' ; : Trust him little who oraiaea all him 1 who censures all. and him least who ia in. different about all. " 4 NEW f AND FEARFUL MODE OF - EXECUTION.- A ( It appears from the journal of a Europe, an traveller, tbat a new and fearful mode of execution has recently been adopted by 1he Great Mogul. The instrument.'. and the proces are thua described : 'A box, each side of which is fifteen feet sqetre, is structured ef solid limber, sbout eighteen inches thick, dovetailed together, and braced with Iron rods. The oafside nf the bottom f the. box i covered with a plate of beaten iron, one inch in thickness. The interior, is filled with perfect cubes of granite, weighing in the aggregate, several thousand tons. A machine is erected sfter the manner of anordinary pile driver, but of course on an enormous scale, and of tremendous strength. The mast is raised by means ofnowerful machinery, cast in Birming ham for the express purpose though it it tocbprumedJlitlheoaclii by whom tht wprk was urnisheiT71iait "hti idea of tlie horrible purpose fr which it wat intrnded. The human victim it pla ced upon a block of granite, of a enrres ponding surface, buried in the earth im mediately beneath the enormous mass, and likewise covered with a plate of iron.- At a signal by the aicramadac. Ihe auctioneer, touches a spring. The mass fall and the victim, crushed at once, is suddenly annihilated, ami spread out like a sheet of pasteboard. The huge weight be inz again raised, the flattened body ia withdrawn ami dre I in the sun. When completely prepared it is hung up on the walls of a public building, there to serve as a warning to the multitude! INDIA RUBBER PANTS. The Cincinnatti Enquirer says.- there is someimSng' 'jcnliarTy'' pheasant a'tfcVa'gWei ante in the sensation one feels on putting on a pair of- India Rubber pants. -They yield to readily to every motion of the body and legs, and then they are so cool that you reel almost as if your extremi ties were denuded. Those who have seen them must have remarked the tenacity witn which they try to shrink into the smallest possible compass, looking for all the world only large enough for a boy three years old, but when tried they ea sily accommuilate themselves to co.nmon sized men. Going up Main street a few dayssgo, we observed a man just ahead with a pair Ofthe articles, on, .... Br some icedeflt,OM"oM leg or bis panls commenced crawling up until it ascended above the knee, in spite of all his efforts to keep it down.

We have ever since entertained the impression that India Rubber Pants were dsngerous and rather mortifying tilings in the street, or in a ball room, par ticularly if the straps give way. A SHE ABOLITIONIST RUNNING AWAY WITH A MULATTO FELLOW. The Norfolk Herald gives the follow ing amusing account of a runaway match: 'A young waman from the North said to be about 18 years of age, came lo our city about .a year ago, end obtaioed em ployment in a respectable family as a 'help,' or housekeeper, in which capacity she was found to be very useful, particu larly as nurse for the sick. .This Istter quality, indeed, was the cause ol her trans fer, with the consent of (lie family in which she reside !, In a neighbor who had a very sick child. In this family she remained some time, snd gave such evidence of cor rect conduct, intelligence, and assiduous service, as woi their respect and affec tion. She soon, however, exchanged this sit uation for a move lucrative one in a hotel, as ladies' Waiting maid, in which she con liuued for six months, when she eloped with a likely young mulatto fellow a wai ter in the same hotel and a stave of the proprietor. This matter ahe managed most adroitly. She called on the gentle man in whose family ahe had previously refcided, and informed him that she. had left her situation at the hotel, and being desirous, to return lo her friends at the North requested him as a favor to see the Captain of the Baltimore which she' did,' and he recommended her to the particular care and attention of the captain. At the appointed time the lady made her appearance at the capiain's 'office,' and had hersell Dooke.t as Miss snd servant and paid the passage money for both. The 'servant,' it ia not neces sary to inform the reader, was hei para, mour at the hotel, for her commerce with whom she had been discharged fiom hef situation the day before. The laye did not seek the least concealment on hoard the steamer but passed himself offas M ss s vervant. On their arrival at Baltimore, 'Miss and servant were duly registered in the ticket office of the Philadelphia raiTroaif line, and depart ed the same morning for the north, where among her friends the servant is now, most probably, flourishing in the charac ter of the 'husband of Miss '- . He was a fovorite servant of the hotel, and treated with great indulgence by his master) with whom, but for the seductive, wiles of this liquorish young she abolition. ist, he would have preferred to remain rather than accept his freedom. -' John Randolph Clay has bees selected by Mr. McLsne as his , Secrets ry of .Le gation.
