Resolved, That we feel, that all of him is not dead. In his own sublime and beautiful language "how little is there of the great and good which can die! To their country they yet live and live forever; they live "and he lives-"in all that perpetuates the remembrance of men on earth-in all the recorded proofs, of his own great actions, in the deep engraved lines of public gratitude, and in the respect and homage of mankind. They live in their example, and they live"-and he lives emphatically-" and will live in the influence which his life and efforts, his principles and opinions, now exercise, and will continue to exercise in the affairs of men, not only in their own country, but throughout the civilized wold."

"Vivit, enim, vivetque semper; atque etiam latius in memoria hominum, et sermone, versabitur, post quam ab occulis recessit."

Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the friends and family of the deceased; at the same time we feel how litte our sympathy can do to bind their broken hearts.

Resolved, That the Clerk of this Court be requested to enter these resolutions upon the Records of the Court, and transmit a copy of them to the bereaved family.

At a meeting of the citizens of Manchester, on Friday evening the 29th of October, convened at the City Hall, to take action in reference to the death of Mr. Webster, Hon. Richard H. Ayer was chosen chairman, & M. T. Brown, Secretary. Brief addresses were made by H. T. Mowatt, Senator Norris, Rev. Mr. Davis, D. Cross, and Wm. Stark. The follow ing resolutions were passed,

Resolved, That profound satisfaction mingles with our sadness, at the serenity which marked his closing hours; that he was permitted to leave the country which he loved so well at peace with all nations of the earth and so generally prosperous; that in acquiescence with his own fervid petition, when his eyes were turned to behold for the last time the sun in the heavens, "they did not behold him shining upon the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Uuion; on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent, but on the gorgeous ensign of the republic, now known and honored throughout the earth, still full high advanced, its arms and trophies shining with original lustre, not a stripe erased nor a star obscured.

Resolved, That a committee be appointed to confer with the city council to take measures for appropriate solemnities at such time as they deem proper.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of Mr. Webster. Resolved, That we, the citizens of Manchester, partake in the deep sadness caused by the death of Daniel Webster.

Resolved, That it is proper for the city which owes him so much, for the county of which he was a native, and the State which he ever regarded with filial respect, to mingle their tears with those of the nation.

Resolved, That our grief, like the loss to ourselves and the nation, is without measure; the succssful diplomatist, the comprehensive statesman, the pure patriot, the majestic orator, the polished scholar, the unrivalled jurist, and the unsurpassed intellect-these in the death of Mr. Webster have disappeared rather like a radiant cluster, than like one star: his vast services in the Senate and the Cabinet are closed; the light which his broad and accurate mind shed in the bar and the forum is extinguished; but there is still left us the incalculable legacy of his fame, his deeds and instruction; and though no longer the form unbowed by age walks before us, we still hear his instructive voice speaking from the record of his life and the page of history.

On motion of John B. Clarke, Esq., the resolutions were adopted, and a committee of seven nominated by the chair to confer with that on the part of the City Government, to adopt suitable measures on the death of Daniel Webster.

The committee consists of Hon. Richard H. Hon. G. W. Morrison, Hon. W. C. Clarke, Ayer, Hon. Moses Norris, Daniel Clark, Esq., H. T. Mowatt, Esq., David Gillis, Esq. Adjourned.

A MAD WOLF. Letters from Smyrna of the 26th ult. give an account of a terrible disaster which occurred at Adalia some days before.A furious wolf suddenly appeared in the midst of the market place, and bit several persons most severely, but, taking fright at the cries which arose on all sides, he jumped over a wall, and got into a large garden where seyeral hundred persons who had come to the town on account of the silk crop, were sleeping in the open air. Here he wounded 124 persons, but being again frightened away by the cries of the people, he got into a sheepfold, where he killed 35 sheep and wounded 75. Unfortunately, the governor had caused the whole population to be disarmed a few days before, so that the unfortunate people were without the means of defence; but on the following day arms were distributed and the wolf killed. According to the report the wounds inflicted by the animal are hide

ous; but the most horrible circumstance in the disaster is that several of the wounded have already died of hydrophobia, so that the whole population is in the utmost consternation.-English paper.
