Mr.. WEBsTER's Arrival AND DsrAayURE. The
distinguished Secretary OF STATE arrived To to'n on
Saturday morning, took lodgings af The Aaos
Houfa, and will leave for his rvrHl resaence at
Marshheld to-day. Yesterday morning, he attend
ed divine service, and afterwards retiIed to his
room, where many persons called up0l him. Siace
Congress dissolved, all the plans, discussions, and
party tactics have been transferred from Washing
ton 10 New York, where politicians are etraining
away at every possible point. The halls Of Con-
Rless are deserted and all the political movements
originated and sus, aimed in the spacious halls OF
the As,or and the Irving House, where politics and
pujdings ere freely dissected. Wisbin the magni
tcent stone walls Of the former, Seward has tried
10 take up position, and III the course Of his so
jouIn, lie wac visited, in the darkness OF twilight,
by few intriguing, dodgipg politiciins, who hopsd
10 make capital Of The abolition agitation There
were few calls by daylight, or gas light Cass es-
'abbshed his headquarters al The Irving House
This is tie great house for Southern mcmters and
Southern ladies, where the chivaIry Of former
Gays ID still maintained, in all its spirit and ele-
espce. There is no difference Of opinion al this
establishment. There is, however, scramble at
the Astor House and one half of il may yet be de-
sol-d 10 the white politicians, and the other half TO
the bisch ones, with Seward az chief steward
cooh, and bottle washer
1t has been very curious piece of comparative
observation, " look upon the distinctive character
isties Of the persons who have called upon Sew
ard and upon MIR Webster. Tne former were of all
possible hues, gaiis, looks, and opinions appearing
hke half starved politicians, ready TO banquet on
blood, if Necessary. The latter were Of firm,
heelthy, cheerful and smiling aspect. Many OF
them were new 70 the eminent Secretary OF State,
ard came up, devoted friends of the country, TO
throw of party feeling, and pay their respect TO
man who has shown the highest patriotism and
prudence, al great crisis in his counirys history.
Mr.. Webster received all Of them with an urbane
and digIihod republican spirit, and encouraged them
to believe that there were yet friends enough to
The Union TO preserve il against the shocks Of the
sbo,ilionists Surely, the master mind of the pre-
cent administration has the Influence TO organize
lls elements Of the whis party ia,o universal,
national one, that will eilrctualy curb Seward and
his brawling G,scciates. There are millions TO
combine in the harmonious effort against the mad
philosophers Of the Albany school. One effort,
well made, will give quietus TO Seward. lie

Amt We stated recently that the repre- esentstves
of The Fire Department would, en- "Wednesday
evening next, nominate Mr.. Carson for Mayor
which would ensure his election by Thousands
nsjoriiy. We learn, from reliable authority, that
there are few scurvy politicians, OF both parties
II the department., who will oppose Mr.. Carson's
nomination, on the hyTocriiicAl ground that he
can't be sPered from the department. The depart
ment can't par, with Mr.. Carson, because, /.
clecied as Mayor they would dread bin, from the
terror ard eOnsitrnaiion he would spread among
