Mr.. WEBsTER-Receptton az Neo Y0rL-
Daniel Webster had grand reception here to-day
Nov. 19). In answering the speech of welcome
addressed to him by Hiram Ketchum, Mr. Web
ster said he approved of the sentiments of the
Union meeting held at Castle Garden, and declared
himself always ready to carry them out. He ad-
vocated he said, the principles for which the Union
was created, the main one of which was to protect
trade and commerce. When these were eudan-
gered he believed it time to rally for protection.
The Union was not in danger when the spirit of
the people was awakened for its defence. Con-
ventions North and South did no harm. The OBJ
Jects Tor which our government was formed were
greater than any the world had ever known before,
ana the people will not abandon them. We shall
continue to live together in union as long as we
people.

TowBoAr DEFIANCE SUNK.-We learn by a
teegraphic dispatch from the S. w. Pass, that the
ship John Hancock, from New York, coming up
the river, and the towboat Defiance, going down
light, on the night of the Goth instant, between
eight and nine o'clock, came in collision near Fort
Jackson. The Defiance was so badly injured that
she sunk two miles below the Fort. The steamers
Mary KingsIand Star and Ango-American went
to her assistance Immediately, and hopes are enter
tanned of raising her. No lives lost.
