 The President--left Washington on Thursday last, his eastern tour. He met about six miles from Baltimore by large number of citizens, and escorted into the city. He left there Friday afternoon, and reached Philadelphia Saturday, where he spent the Sabbath. From thence he was to leave on Tuesday, and would probably reach New-York on Wednesday. At NewYork preparations were making for giving him splendid reception. He is expected to be at New-Haven Saturday, and will spend the next Sabbath either there Hartford. Suits of rooms are prepared for him at the City Hotel, Hartford where it is supposed he will spend couple of days and will he waited upon by the Legislative Committee The President is accompanied far as New-York by the Secretary of S,ate Mir. McLane the Secretary of War, Mr. Cass, and his private secre,ary Major Do- naIdson. At New-York, he is to be met by Mir. Vice President Van Buren, who will accompany him dur ing the remainder of his tour.

 Hon. Daniel Webster reached Buffalo on Friday the 3lst ult on his way to the West, and remained there two three days. He was invited 10 public dinner by the citizens which he declined on account of his wish to spend what time he had spare in v- sitting the town, harbor, and neigh5orhood. On Mon day steam boat was launched, and named in honor ofther guest wbo was present by special invitation, the "DAklEL WEBsTER"-and which at the time it slid into it's destined element bore upon the flagstaff the sentiment of Mir. Webster in his speech in Con- gresa in 183O- Liberty and Ution oic and forever, and insepara6le." Mir. Webster also waited upon by large concourse of mechanics and manufac- turers and some complimentary addresses passed be- tween them. He left there on Tuesday on his way to Ohio by way or,he Lake.

 Amos PilIsbury has been reinsaied Warden of the State Prison, in place of Gurdon Montague, moved. A good deal of disaffecon manifested by the prisoners upon his resuming his charge over them. But we imagine it is high time sohne change had taken pIace-for though Mr. Montague may be an amiabe and worthy citizen, he does not appear to possess that decision and efficiency necessary for the good government oi an institution like that at Well- ersfed.

 The Auery triaL-On the preceding page we have given some extracts from the opening speeches of the counsel for and against Mr. Avery in his late trial for the murder of Miss Cornell. Mir. Avery it appears, is acquitted by the jury, though should judge that public opinion does not rest satisfied with the result It has been stated in of the Boston papers that when the jury first left the Court there ten for eonvc.ing and only tsoO in favor of acquitting him; and that the TWO were determined upon adhering to their opinion. Another account however, reverses this statement We have read considerable portion of the testimony-and must confess there are many developed which go very far to incul pate Mir. Avery n the murder. It is ackno wledged l on all hands that he in the neghborhood about 1 the time of the alleged murder and he does not give any satisfactory account of his business there-he al Ieged that he met and had conversation with man and boy, but among his l3O witnesses failed to pro- duce either of ,henr-he fled iron, justice, and found concealed in obscure place up in the state of New. w.Hampsh,e Still, jury of his country has pro- nounced him not guiIty-and we hope he may be able hereafter 10 show that he is innocent.

 At meeting oflhe New-Enga land Conference since held in Boston, Mir. Avery invited to attend and take part in the proceedings.

 Another trial, for murder has just taken place in New-Jersey, brief account of which is given the preceding page After full and fair investigation, the jury. as a matter of course-lor the proof direct and positive as to admit Of doubt-bsought in 1erdc, of guilty against Cough. Sentence was then passed upon him-tha, he be execu,edon Friday the 26,h Of July next.

 GT At the city election in New-Haven last week, | Dennis Kimberly, Esq. was elected Mayor hy majo- l rity of one uOte over Hon. Ralph I. lngersol. And some of the papers imagine this great triumph. To appears fortunate that good men these should be seecied-and that either would do honor to the station. Gen. Kimberly declined serving, and a new election was to be held on Monday, The Board of Aldermen, Common Council, and other officers elect ed are ant-Barber-iles.

 0JAtihe election on Monday, Moves Darling, Esq. | was chosen Mayor on the fourth ballot over Thomas G. Woodward, Esq. editor ofthe HeraId-and eight l additional Common Councilmen were chosen. These we believe, as well the Mayor all Barberites.
