WEBSTER IN BOSTON. THE ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION of the GOD-LIKE ee Bhs feech on the Great Question of the Day. BY BAIN’ MERCHANTS’ TELEGRAPH. Boston, April 20, 1850. Mr. Webster arrived atthe depot a little before § o'clock, and was driven to the Rovere House in an open barouche, accompanied by the Hon. Rufus Choate and others, He was received by a large crowd, and with great enthusiasm. AsMr, Webster approached, Mr. B. R. Curtis addressed , saying “ that his fellow citisens had assembled there to weleome him home. They were not politi- j efans, but had known his worth end hed gathered together to grect him, Here were some of the Northern laborers of whom we had heard so much. | Where was there » Northern man who was not | alaborer? And they were sensible of his effortsto pro- mote and defend the labor of the country. They were aware that the internal improvement of the country had found in him an able advocate, They keew, also, when we were in danger of war with » powestul country, his wise and well directed efforts had us in peace and harmony. He knew, {| also, that we were all citizens of one great country’ and that the friends of the Union were their friends; that there was one groat party in which all were uni- | ted, and that was the party of the Union, and that | they were united in expressing their high considera- | tion of bis effortsto preserve the constitution. They | knew that there were many conflicting influences, any attempt to reconeile which, could not fail to meet with the disapprobation of s portion of the community; but they were not about to begin to distrust oue who, be- fore they were born, bad secured the confidence of the community, and had ever since maintained it. Before the conclusion of Mr. Curtis's remarks, Mr. Webster rose in the carriage, and was received with loud cheering. After the noise had in some measure subsided, he proceeded to say, that ‘It wae with great pleasure that he met so large an aesemblage of his friends at a time when his private affairs bed calied him from the seat of government. The duties of the session in the public council of the country | have been arduous. I am sorry to aay, those arduous | duties are not done with; I am sorry to say that the | public affairs of the country have not yet made so | much progress towards satisfactory adjustment as to remove all the anxiety which has been felt about the adjustment of the subjects under discussion; but I feel authorized now to say. there is reason to hope— rearon to expect—that further reflection—that the generous comparison of varisus wishes, where wo dis- agree, will bring about that improved stato of public | feeling, in the reproduetion of which all our expecta- tions of useful discharge of public duty—all our ex- peetations of useful legislation, must depend. I cannot but feel, sir, that I stand in the presence of | my friends. I must regard this gathering as the por- | sonal tribute of your welcome to me. You do not welcome the politican; and this is not an opportunity | for discussing those questions which now agitate the community and the government—questions which caa leave littie repose in the mind of any intelligent man till he can see some probability that from their dis- cussion an adjustment, may come in favor of the prorperity. peace, happiness, and continued union of the country. Gentlemen, I have felt it my duty on a late occasion | to make an effort to bring about some amelioration of that excited feeling on this subject which pervades the people of the country everywhere,North and South—to make an cffort, also, to restore the gov; ent to its pro- | per capacity for discharging the proper business of the ' country. Let me say it is unable to discharge that busi- ness. That it may regain that capacity there is a ne- ceesity for effort, both in Congress and out of Congress; neither you nor I shall see the legislation of the coun- | try proceed in the old harmonious way until the discus- sions in Congress and out of Congress,upon the subject to whieh you have alluded, shal! be in some way suppres- ed. Take that truth home with you, and take it as trath. Until something can be done to allay the feeling now separating men in different sections, there can be no useful and satisfactory legislation in the two houses of Congress, Mr. Curtis and gentlemen, the common- wealth of Massachusetts has done me the honor to place mo as one of her representatives in Cougress. I Dave believed that she would approve im me any ho- nest. courteous, and’sincere effort. to allay the discus- n which we eee among the people of the country, ® and to restore Congress to its constitutional eapacity for action.

THE ACCIDENT AT THK BONDED WARRWOUSE. Monday seems to be an unlucky day this year. It wasthe day of the Hague street catastrophe; the day of the falling of the church in Brooklyn; and on yes- terday occurred two terrible disasters, which, though not of the same extent, are still sufficiently appalling. Tt will be recollected that on Friday last. we called Attention to the dangerous condition of the bonded warehouse in Water street, next to tho fire that oo- curred on Wednesday night. Our warning was un- heeded, or at least not acted upon, and the conse- quence is most fatal. . The gable end wall of this building, next to the store that was burned down, projected out, partly in consequence of the excossive weight placed against it, and partly from its losing the support of the wall of the store. which fell, with the exception of the front wall, which stands. It swayed to and froins most frightful manner, So much did the Chief Engineer apprehend danger, that he would not allow the firemen to go under it to play the hose upon the burning ruins and completely extinguish the fire. We think the Chief Kngineer had authority enough to pull down the ‘wall, ag we have often seen him order walle to be pulled down after fires, when they endangered the lives of the passers by. He applied to the Mayor. The Mayor, the Chief of Polico.and the Comptroller, went to the ground on Friday; and it was suggested that the floors in the bonded warehouse, being vverloaded. some of the goods should be removed. An order came from Mr. Maxwell, the Collector, not to allow a single thing to be removed; and surveyors had examined the building and pro- nounced it all safe, though the peak of the gable pro- jected from fifteen to eighteen inches over the ruins, Stephen Whitney. the owner of the building. was also present, and Bir. Tucker, the builder, and Alder- a Smith, who is also a builder. Both of the latter under declared the building itself but thought there was some danger of the peak falling. It was then agreed to pull the peak down. or bave it secured, and inthe meantime to fence the ruins in. so that nobody could be endangered. The Mayor, relying upon the good faith of this arrange- ment, and fearing, after the decision of learned archi- tects and surveyors. that if he ordered it to be pulled down the eity would be muleted in an action for da- mages, allowed the matter to rest. In this, we think, wells the Chief Engineer, was in error. The ger war palpable, and he ought to have had the pull yrisk. A jury. under such cir- cumstances, would have given very small damages, if apy. Mr Tucker states that he proposed pulling the down on Saturday. though he had no authority from Mr Whitney. but ‘that the insurance companies objected. He expressed his apprehension about the danger of men walking under the building. All war inge were despised. just as in the Hague sirect tragedy, ‘and men— whose lives were valued less than a handful of cotton—were sct to work for Center & Co., to recover a few damaged bulos, Until Monday. men could not be got to work under the impending danger; but, un- fortunately, twelve—and we koow not how many more—were induced to risk their lives; or probably they were told there wes no danger, as the learned vur- veyors ond urchitects had said so. Thus they were brought like sheep, to the slaughter. Tottering to its fall. os it was, the rain on Sunday uight and yesterday morning made it so much heavier that it came down at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, withes tremendous crash, burying at least eight under the ruins. Three were taken out immediately—namely, Edward McShane, 64 Cherry street, dead; John Driscoll, both of whose legs were broken, and who died in the Gisy Mespital ina 4 Thomas Leahy father of the yourg nor,and John Har were at one ride. out of the falling bricks, fixing the bales of corton that other men had taken ont of theruins, Of those that were buried beneath, there was no hope; and, consequently, there was no immediate effort made to extricate them.

Under the dirretion of Mr. Woodbull, the Mayor, and Mr. Mateell, Chief of Potice, Mr. Tucker then eaused the gable to be held by means of iron clam; with chains atteched and run into, the inside. and there made fast.
