FATHER MATHEw.-Father Mathew arrived in
Philadelphia on the morning of the Sd inst. He
was accompanied to Independence Hall by the ex-
ecutive committees of the various temperance asso-
Citations. An address was then made to him by
Mr. Henry Gibbons which was gratefully &C
knowledged by Father Mathew as the first real
exclusively temperance address made to him since
his arrival in the country. He subsequently re-
visited the Hall for second reception, by the
Mayor and City Councils. Mayor Jones made
what the Evening Bulletin describes Zone of the
prettiest and happest speeches ever heard on such
an occasion" After the Mayor had finished his
address, he formally introduced the members of
Councils to Father Mathew. Father Mathew re.
piled with much feeling. He begged the Mayor,
as the organ Of the people Of Philadelphia, to ac-
cept his best Acknowledgements He thanked them
for the honor Of his official reception, and for the
cordial manner in which his welcome had been
conveyed. 1t was the prayer Of his soul that God
would continue to lavish upon this great and glo.
rious republic the same blessings that had attended
1t since its first auspcious beginning. He thanked
| the Mayor for the praises he had lavished upor
him, and said that he feared they had not been de
| served, but were only the praises of the Mayor
| own goodness Of heart He hoped they woulC
have the effect Of stimulating his life to greater ex
! ertions He said he admired the model institution
| Of this happy land of the West. Mr. Clay, one o
our greatest men, had truly said to him, that whel
| he arrived in New York he had only entered tn
great vesiibule Of America. Since he reache
Philadelphia, witnessed the beauties of this city
and enjoyed the courtesies and poteness of it
citizens, he had been convinced that in seeing on
great commercial emporium, New York, he ha
but seen the vesdbule Of the great American cor
| tederaey. He trusted in God that he might hav
the health to visit every part of the beautiful abri
to which the porch he had already trod, led. H
spoke Of the peculiar privilege he felt in being pei
mitted to stand in Independence Hall, the plac
that had witnessed the signing of the most in
portant document, next to the Sacred Scriptur,
which the world had ever brought forth. In hi
labors in the temperance cause, he had only bee
the humble instrument of God. In conclusion
once more thanked the people Of Philadelphia f
their kindness, and said he hoped that his futui
lie might be such as to render him worthy Of i
rather Mathew spoke with considerable agitation
and was suffering from an impeachment Of speed
that he had no little difficulty in controlling. Tn
was the effect, no doubt Of the paraytie affectio
from which he has frequently suffered, and whiC
the sudden cold weather has aggravated. He is
very feeble health. When the ceremonies Of Il
reception by the city authorities were over, Faith
Mathew received the eitizema, large numbers
whom pressed forward to shake him by the han
including men, women aud children, He atts
wards retired to his lodgings

STREET FIGHT.-A street reneontre occurred
at St. Louis on the afternoon Of the 3d. TIE Re-
veille gives the following account Of the affair;
Some months ago Mr.. J. E. Thomas, Of the frna
Of Benoist 81 Co., called at the postofiee to state
that some Of his Femittances had not come to hand
In the course Of conversation with an attendant a
tue office, Mr.. Thomas stated his belief that The
letters had been purlolned in the ST. Louis of7oa.
An intimation also made, hear, to the elfoea
that Newton Winner, brother Of the postmzalar
and clerk in the Office, was concerned in the ab-
strdction Of the money, when gross indRnitF was
offered to Mr., Thomas. On last Friday Mr. Ihosn-
as and Newton Winner met at the livery stabls e
Mr.. Alexander, on Chestnut street, when dial.
Guilty occurred, which terminated without injury 10
either party. At about four o'clock yesterday after
noon, Mr.. Newton Winner stood on the sidenaih
near the corner Of Fourth and Chestnut stesis,
when Mr., Thomas met him, and each, drayinn onf
a revolver commenced to exchange ahots Tba
statements are exceedingly contradictory, ana uIa

tered himself behind tree encased bv.a bar. anR
nearly at the same time Mr. Thomas, initiating ~

PAGES distant. In this position they both exchaa.

SENATOR AoUsToY OF TExAs-This gentle
man, on his way to Washington, addressed the
Legislature and citizens Of Montgomery, (Ala,)
at-an immense meeting held in the Hall o.
Representative which was granted to him for thai
purpose by vote of the House. The editor Of til,
Alabama Journal Cwhig) says he never saw tn,
Capitol so densely thronged except during the Tay
lor canvass. We copy the following passage from
the journal descriptive Of that portion of the Gen
erals speech in which he defined again his position
on the slavery question;
" It is but justice to say that Gen. Houston in.
dignanty disclaimed the charges which had been
made against him of free soilism, &c. and declared
that he was in any way and on every point ex-
cusively and wholly Southern in his feelings, de-
sires and sympathes. He declared moreover that
although be considered the Proviso as something
not much better than monstrous humbug-that
he had opposed it, and should oppose, and take
every opportunity to hit it lick aud kick it to a
place not memorable to ears polite, but which is
represented possessing a climate much more
tropical and fervid than agreeable. He further
stated that he did not hold with Benton but be-
eved that Congress had no right to legslate to re-
strict slavery in the Territories-that it was ex-
clusively a matter belonging to the people of the
States and Territories interested.
I" He complained bitterly of the injustice which
had been exercised toward him by the false charges
on this subject, (aluding to Mr.. Calhoun) and said
that he was marked for victim because he
would not follow at the car of abstractonism which
was always striving to create discord and rupture
our glorious Union.
" He stated also that he had never yielded or de-
clared that Congress had the power to restrict
slavery others had done, (Ir. Calhoun, while a
member OF President Monroe's Cabinet,) for after
such an act, he could not have risen 10 address a
Southern audience without his face burning with
shame. In this connection he asked with much
significance the question how any one could have
the face to denounce him as traitor for his course
on the Oregon bill who did not denounce Mr.. Polk
for the same act on the same reasons"

ARREST FOR DEBT.-The Wilmington Del)
Republican mentions the arrest of Robert J.
Walker, late Secretary of the Treasury, on the
24th ult in that city, at the instance of some per-
sons in Mississippi, who holds note on which he
is endorser for $4,000. Mr. Walker had, it appears,
proved want OF consideration for the amount OF
the note, when ii was sued in Mississippi, but the
plaintiffs have watched their opportunity and ar
rested him while in Delaware. Mr.. W. gave bail
for his appearance at the next term Of the Court in
Newcastle
