MIR. WEBSTER IN FANEUIL HALL,
 The agony is over. Mr. Webster met his fellow citizens in Faneuil Hall, yesterday. according to appointment. He was received on his entrance, with the most enthusiastic cheers. The Hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity. by q highly intelligent and a,,en- tive audience. He was addressed and intro. duced by MT. Chapman, the Mayor of the clty m very eloquent, appropriate and hap py speech. Mir. Webster then addressed the assembled multitude, in speech which occupied nearly two hours. We can do lit. tie more this morning. than to lay before our readers such reports as we have been able to obtain of the two speeches. Many of the views expressed and the grounds assumed by Mr.. Webster. are in strict accordance with those entertained by the great body of the Whig party. They were put forth in the strongest language. and with the most cogent anc impressive effort of eloquence. No man could gaze upon the orator with the fixed and unabstracted attention which we devoted to him. without feeling that he was listening to the outpourings Of a powerful intellect.i The very peculiar situation in which the speaker stood, in relation to the political affairs of the country-his connection with an administra- tion which was known to have little favor with his audience. except what it gathered l'O"i u"s Cuti'Ctttvh-luS presence or an immense multitude of his fellow citizens who had but recently been his constituents. and who had at all times rejoiced to pay him the need of honor for his distinguished fla. :. Tents, and gratitude for the eminent services he has rendered thecountry--alit these thincs and more than all these things conspired 1o make this a scene If the most intense and thrilling interest. Throughout the whole of his address. Mir. Webster was listened to with rivetted attegtion. interrupted only by the occasional rounds of applause.
 On many of the points commented upon by the speaker, his audience responded cordial ly to the sentiments to which he gave utter ance. In his explanations in relation to the negotiation of the Treaty. and his observa. tions upon the curFenN, he vas lucid and sa- tisfactory, and at sopI points delivered him.

DAYTON, Sept. %, lS42, 4 o'clock P. M.
 This is glorious day for the Whigs of Ohio-yes, for the United States. Such a multitude of people as was here this day, never was seen at any other place in these United States. There could not have been any less than from ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY, TO TWO HUNDRED THOU SAND. All hands agree that there was double the number here that there was in lS4O. "
 A pleasant anecdote is told of doughty Connecticut General, who had frequently promised to protect any of the Dorrites who might be compelled to leave Rhode Island, and upon whose hospitality number of the heroes of Acote's hill threw themselves when they fled from the vengeance of the peaceful pursuits of agriculture with his devotion to Mars, employed his refugee friends in hoeing his corn. The work was soon completed. and although he experi- enced very little difficulty in protecting thelr persons from the "Algerines," who ne- yer came for them. 1t was quite different matter to protect their stomachs from the attacks of hunger.
 In his dilemma, the General hit upon a plan which displays his talents in strategy, He came riding towards the house, shouting at the top of his voice, "the Algerines are after you, can protect you no longer."- The heroes fled in terror, and the General, relieved of their presence, regarded his we'll noed corn with unmingled satisfaction. It IS now harvest time, and we dare say he would take great pleasure in protecting," ms Dorrlte friends till they could gather the corn which they so faithfully hood.

rom the nature ot things, must draw large body of people together as betters and spec. tators, it should be made the duty of the civil authorities in the neigborhood of those fields ofbattle. to order out, the moment it is known, or even understood, that n boxing match is about to take place, a sufficient military force to suppress the violation of the public peace, and to take the combatants into safe custody mot only principals, but accessories,
 The evils of this practice are not confined to tho individuals who engage in the combat The gamblers who bet, and the rabble who cheer and urge them on, are as morally guilty, as the men who beat, and bruise, and kill each other. The following is an extracl from the account ofthis boxing match in the New York Tribune of Sept. l9ih :--
 How shall we speak of the getters up and encouragers of this fight--the gamblers, the bruthelmastcrs, and keepers of flash grogge. ries, whowere ever the chief patrons of sihe ring,' and who wcrc tho choice shirts of this festival of ficnas! They were in raptures as the we'll ained, deadly blows descended heavily upon the face and neck of the doom, ed victim. transforming the image of God in. to livid and loathsoMe ruin; tkey yelled with delight us the combatants went down often on theis heads--with force that made the earth tremble around thenl--as the blood spirited in Fills from the tateh sacrifice, or as his conqueror came down heavily upon him and lay there to beat the breath out of him, until taken of by the secondsI They eDliven- ened the shocking scene, as McCoy's eyes closed beaeath the blows of his anfagonist, with Shutters up!
