Daniel Webster has at last been delivered, and we lay it in full before the public, in the New York Herald, of this morning. When we learned that he in- tended to speak on the Presidential question, we deepatehed a special reporter to Marshfield, where the god-like makes his chowders, to report him at length. The speech was delivered on Friday afternoon, Mr. Webster spoke for two hours, and finished at ten minutes past 5 o’clock. After that time, our reporter was obliged to proceed to Boston, a dis. tance of over forty miles, by special horse expres 4n order to take the New Haven line for New York, which left Boston at 7 o’clock yesterday morning, and arrived here at lali past 5 o’clock last evening. He immediately wrote out his notes, aad we pre- sent the speech, in full,in this morning's Herald, This is enterprise. It is tHe only speech that we shall have from Mr. Webster during the campaign. It was drawn out of him almost per force, and he states that he sup- ports Taylor because the General is the regular nominee of the party Army Promotions. Our readers will find in another columa a long list of brevets and promotions in the army, result- ing from bravery and good conduct in the battles of Mexico. This list has been looked for by the officers of the army and their friends for weeks and weeks, and we are even now led to believe that the list is not complete. Meeting of the Common Council. To-morrow evening, at five o’clock, our worthy city fathers will meet, alter their summer recess, and the usual preparations are being made for their reception, by the corporation officials who enjoy ‘The Fair of the New Vork State Agricuiturat Soctety. The grend annual fair of the New York State Agricultural Society, whieh isto be held at Baffalo, this year, is to, occupy three days, commencing on the 5th instant, and ending on the 7th. It will be a matter of importance to all, and will especially interest those citizens of the Empire State who are engaged in those pursuits, the advancement of which it is the object of the society to encourage. Westera New York is fast advancing to a pro- minent position in scientific agriculture. Many of the farmers in that distriet of country are in the first rank, and are known, not only in this country but in Europe, as men who find their chief plea- sure in advaneing, step by step, towards excel- lence in their favorite calling. The stock, in Erie, and a number of neighboring counties, is already greatly improved by importations and cross-breed- ing, end the result is profitable to those who have taken the trouble to look to their own interest in this respect. The Hamburg dairies have now a fame as wide as those of Goshen in our own vi- cinity. But the society, and, hence of course, the fair, has a higher object in view than the improvement of mere townships. It looks to the improvement of agriculture throughout the State; and, ultimate- ly, in connection with other kindred societies, to the same throughout the Union. Much, by far too much, time and money have been lost by our farmers, in consequence of the unskillful manner in which they have conducted their affairs. Large fields, poorly tilled, with clumsy implements, large boned hardly fatted swine, races of degenerate cattle and horses, poor seeds, and carelessly se- ected scions for grafting, have been too common evils; and if the fair has the effect to inspire the desire, and cause the determination, on the part of farmers, to remedy these evils, it will have eflect- ed much; and there is no fear but that its begin- nings, thus caused, will lead to the most happy and profitable results. We shull, as usual, have a reporter on the ground to.give an impartial account of the exhi- bition and doings generally, Cuanges iN Orricy.—Tue Errrets of Bary- nurnerism —The Hon. Benjamin F.Butler, having heard the “stated preaching of the gospel,”, and become a leading “free goiler,” has been re- moved from the office of United States District Attomey, and the Hen. Charles M’Vean, Surro- gate, appointed to his place. The commission for Mr. M’Vean was received by that gentl>man yes- terday. He read it through, and then carefully filed 1t away among his papers. It will be recollected that Mr. M’Vean was a member of Congress, from this State, at the same time that Mr.Polk was a member from Tennessee. In addition to this, one of the strongest speeches delivered in Congress, in favor of General Jackson, was made by the late Surrogate. He is, of course, whats called an old hunker. It is said that other changes are to be made by the President, to prevent too many of the office- holders from falling into the amns of the Van Burenites. Among other rumors, 13 one that Mr. Frederick R. Lee is to take the situation of Naval Officer, now occupied by Michael Hoffman. Itis considered unfair that the salaries of the Naval Cfiiee should go into the pockets of Mr. Hoffman and his clerks, all of whom are said to come from the interior, and are barnburners. We really begin to think that this election is yet to produce some fun and excitement. nish Lerrers.— Within the last three or four nany instances have been shown us where letters from the interior of Ireland, directed for persons in this city, have been opened, and in some cases extracts clipped, as it with a scissors, from them. These referred to, comiog from Ireland, are to the humble classes of the Irish servants und laborers, who are at a loss to account for the pro- cedure. The English government has no doubt adopted this measure with a view of ascertaining the movements and state of the feelings of the in- habitants of the interior portions of the country. 4 It opens the door to great abuse and robbery. ‘This intelligence, itis sdf, has already spread through the various classes and circles of the natives of the Emerald Isle, and has created a little alarm for the safety of private remittances and letters that have been forwarded recently. how to appreciate the legitimate drama in its purity.

His appearance was hailed with shouts of delight, for in him the theatre-loving folks find away todrive dull care away. Mr. Andrews, as “Mr. Smith,” was excellent. Two more perfect, char- acters for the piece could not be found, and they riebly merit all the applsuse which is bestowed upon them, On Thursday night Mr. Forrest appears as ‘Sparticus,”? his favorite character, in the celebrated tragedy of the “Gladiator ” That will be one of the brightest eve! ings of the searon, and to those who wish to see him, we weuld say secure seats before night, or it will be impossible to get one. The proprieturs of this theatre bave given already an carnest of their intentions, and it will be strange, indeed, if under such management, joredhan success did not follow. It is impossible to “fail. Nivuo’s, Astor PLace.— The performances last eve- ning at this theatre were for the benefit of Mr. Van- denhoff, whose merits are so well known and so gene- rally appreciated by the citizens of New York, as to tender any eulogium of him unnecessary Oa this oc~ cation the admired play of “ Lucy of Lammermoor,’ from Sir Walter Scott’s novel, was performed, Mr. Vaudenboff sustained the character of Edgar, Mr. Chippendale that of Caleb Balderston, and Mr. Sefton Captain Craigengelt, A young lady made her début in the character of Lucy Ashton, and though a first appearance is scarce y sufficient to enable one to pre- nounce summarily on the future position she is enti- tled to hold, it is but justice to her to say that she displayed considerable ability, and acquitted herself to the great satisfaction of the audience. She showed more self-postession than we were prepared to expect op a first appearance, aud we doubt not but sho will make an excellent tragic actress, Mr. Sefton rattled away at his broad Scotch with as much vase and ae unobjectionable » pronunciation, as if he had been all his hfe in‘ auld reekie.”” As to Mr. Vandenhoff, it is unuceersary to say that he received loud and fre- quent bursis of applause. His acting at the close of Ube lest seene, was udmirable ; his indignation and despair st finding Lucy about to be given away to another, agreeably to the wishes of ber mother, could not be surpassed. ‘The piece was weil reevived, and at the clore Mr Vandenbeff and the young lady were culled before the curtain, to receive the applanse of the audience. In addition to the many and varied at- trectivus presented on this oocasion, Mr. Vandendoff | recited Coliins’ Ode on the Passions, with musical ac- companiments, expressly arranged for him.

GEN. WILLIAM J. WORTH, BY, THE CITIZENS GF COLUMBIA CO0., AT HUDSON, The little city of Hudson, so beautifully situated on the noble river of the same name, was quite startled from its propriety on the occasion of the presentation of a sword to General Worth, on Tueeday evening last. As the majestic steamer, the Hendrick Hudson, with Gen. Worth and suite on board, approached the city, the scene was truly delightful and picturesque. On the promenade heights the national flag was uufurled to the breeze, with the word “ Niagara’’—where the gallant General, during the late war. first gave promise of his future career of glory—eonspicuously emble- zoned on the centre. The landing plaee, and public buildings throughout the town, were similarly deco- rated Asplendid military band from West Point wason beard,and during the trip played ceveral beautiful and spirit-stirring airs. Before the steamer came within a wile of the city, the gay streamers that floated on high —the thcusands who were assembled on the heights and ie martial strains of music, und evidence that an event of ‘come off in the capital of Columbia. A the vessel was moored. and the gallant General, with bis party, etepped on shore, nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of the multitude who had gathered round to welcome back to the place of his nativity, one of the greatest heroes of the Mex!- can war. In these days of displays and compli- mente, which men nothing, it was quite refreshing to y, one who can appreciate nature in its purity. to ¢ the honest farmers grasping the hand of the veteran Genera}, and breathing forth the warm gushinge of their honest hearts, ‘There was no gewgsw—ne “pomp or circumstance”’—no fuss or feathers, nor militar; parade—but there was the plain, honest, unsophisti- cated outpouring of men who rpoke what they felt, avd meant whet they said. Immediately after he landed, thy recertion committee ereorted the General, with his friends, to the several carriages that were im waiting. and the whole party, preceded by the band, marched in triumphal cavaleade to the Hudron House, amid the cheers of the multitude and the thunder of cannon. The whole ceremony grand in the extreme; and although no red coats nor crimsoned epaulettes reflected their colors on the brilliant scene, the smiling counte- navces of the fair, and the deep-felt and protracted hurrabs of the manly forms who surrounded his car- riage, umply compentated for the want of tinsel and the pomp of military parade, The gallant Generul was aeery, affected by the cor- die] welcome which was given him; and though his retiring medesty would have induced him to forego this unsflected demonstration of overtlowing feelings, the juyous enthusiasm and ardent feelings of thore who had arrembled to do him nenor would not permit him. Hundreds clung round his carriage, and fol- lowed him to his hotel, where he was oocupied during the whole of the evening and next day in receiving the friendly calls of + is numerous visitants. The presentation of the sword came off on Wednes- Gay. at the court house. Thousands of the people flocked into the town at an early hour; and long before one o’elock- the hour at which the ceremony was to come off—it was impossible to come within hearing distance ef the platform, The Jadies of the city and county turned out in Jorge Bumbers, and it wos remarked by the oldest in- habitants of Hudson that such a galaxy of beauty and {ahion never, onany previous gceasion, azrembied in that city. Obtaining his position on the stage, General Worth ‘was introduced to the assemblage by Judge Hogeboom, whovlro announced that the presentation would be made by Ambrose L. Jordan, Eeq , the Attorney Gene- ral of the State. tr. Jonnan thereupon rove amd said :—General, on behalf ef the citizens of Kinderhook, Hudson, and otbers formerly resident here, I welcome your return to your native place. As their reproventative, | am about to offer for your acceptance a slight memorial cf their renee of the skill and conduct displayed by their gallant fellow-citizen, upon one of the many o¢- ensions on which you have distinguished yourself in the service of your country.

Shortly after we heard ef you doing battle mapfully against the common enemy ; and now, afler the lapse of near half a cen- tury, you return to your native soil, high in rank, aud covered with imperishable glory For this eminent ruccess in your profession—for this elevated rank, this high distinction, we know that you are indebted to yourreli alone.

The want of sign-boards in most of the streets, is felt to be a serious annoyance to strangers, and to | many of the citizens, who are compelled to ask their way from street to street, before they can find out the locality they require.

The Cuaimman then called upon the company to charge their glasses, and spoke as follows:— Gentlemen,—The first toast I have to propose to you, ie one which is very natural for you to expect, and, if | consulted your feelings, ag well as my own, one which would occupy more time than you or I have to spare, vpon the present occasion. I| fear that if I expatiated upon it as my feelings would dictate, | should be much in the same predicament as a gentle- mon was who, sometime ago, addressed a public au- dience in this State, and began his speech by saying, “Probably that was the last time he would have the opportunity cf addressing them ;’ when one of the audience cried out, + Good, good.” (Laughter.) Fear- ful thet euch @ mistake might be made now, I will not run the risk of tempting your patience ; and, therefore, will not dwell at avy length on the merits of the gallant hero you have met this evening to honor (Loud cheers.) I will remark, however, that there are three events of my childhood of which | have & most vivid recollection One of there was, after the glcrious campaign of 1813, when some of the warriors who bad taken part in it, visited Hudson, and the people turned out too them honor, | remember, efter all the fring which tock place on that cccasion, that | saw @ young officer, with @ husear cap over his shoulder. Feurcely able to walk, hobblivg through our streets on crutches; this young officer was Licut. Worth.

I thought and expresred the feclings, “How glo- rious and Low lucky young soldier has been to suffer £0 much for bis country!” (Tremen- dous cheers.) ‘This, gentlemen, isone of the reminis- cences of my childhood. Little did I then dream, that, after a quarter of a century, I should be presiding in this very place of bis nativity mine, at the cela- b of the glory he had won. and the elevated rank earned by his merits alone, in the ser- vice of his country. I will not touch upon the war of 1812, through ich the gallant herowhom you have met this evening to honor, successfully passed, (Loud cheers.) I will not speak of him during the time he was superintendent of military education at Wert Point. I will not allude to the various diplomatic negotiations in which he has been engaged; nor will I take up ygur time by enumerating his services in the yerious ‘Gepartments he has filled during the peacefat period our country experienced since the campaigns of 1812. I will not take up your time with his exploits in the Seminole war, nor the Florida war; nor will I al- jude to augbt else of those other services he has ren- dered to his country, some of which have been alreaay happily alluded to by the gentleman whom we ae ‘peinted as our organ for the presentation of the which we huve this day made to the gallant general, (Cheers) His exploits are known to the whole coun- to dwell, as we wight with pride and exultation, upon some of them, yet] must resist the temptation, and following the example set to us by the committee of arranze- ments, abstain from any netice of his achievements, except such as may give point to the toast which | mean to vropore. allude to an incident which is in an eminent degree characteristic of ow man, and displays the feelings which have whole career. While lately passing over the portion of this State, in the discharge of my duties, I appened to fall into conversation with several who ded alovg the frontier, and very frequently the la padian troubles formed the topic of our discourse. At that time, you mey remember, General Worth, who was then Lieutenant Colonel, was stationed on the Northern frontier. Among ‘the many comments which were made, | was gratified to find that he was universally admired for the discretion and judg- ment he evinced in preventing his own countrymen, on the one hand, from jnvading the British territory, and the British on the other, from passing over to the American soil. (Cheers.) The manner in which he discharged this duty, was frequently the subject of remark. and elicited the general applause of thore who had the opportunity of witnessing it. On one occasion the captain of an American steam- boat, which waa turpeeted, by tho British of having erms and munitions of war on board, for the use of the patriots (by which title thcro were ealicd, who lentuny ersistance to the Canadians), was boarded and tuken posression of by a ish force sent fo examine into the truth of this sispicion, AS soon us Colonel Worth heard of “th nf Ceedlng, be teizonstrated wlth th taip, vinonstrat will 6 bs Mh gl ips ond ‘ot to unwarrantable proceeding n, on American waters, ‘ae Captain tepiied, what could! do?
