WEBSTER DENOUNCED BY FANATIcs.-
The meeting at Faneul Hall, Boston, on
Monday evening, "of persons who read with
surprise, alarm and deep regret, the recent
speech of Hon. Daniel Webster,'' was re-
spectacle as to appearance and numbers
Samuel A. Sewall presided. After some
remarks by the chairman, the Rev. 1'heo-
dore Parker made a long speech, styling
Webster "the Benedict Arnold Of the age"
and concluding by offering series Of reso-
lutions, condemnatory of the the position
assumed by Senator Webster.
The next speaker was Wendell Phillips.
He too le. off some hard pops at Webster,
gey, who betrayed the HungarIans last sum-
mer, was no more traitor than Daniel
Webster, and that the latter was ',raitor
to the Constitution, and an apos.aie to hu-
mani,y." Samuel Ward, colored clergy
man, also made similar speech.
| According to the Courier, the resolutions
"were drawn up in very peppery style.
and the reading of them excited, Of course.
much applause from Mr.. Garrison, who oc-
cuped sea. on the platform, and who
probably, had his fist in them"
The meeting adjourned alta late hour, and
the individuals went home, where, the Bos-
ton Courier hopes, all found themselves Gas
we'll as can be expected" There is no.
thing like plenty of steam to keep the en-
CINE in motion, and now that Daniel Web
sler, Henry Clay and all compromises have
all been damned in Faneuil Hall, the Parkers
and Phillips, avowed disunionisls, probably
feel better.

Conversational Doings.

Some little progress was made by the House
of Representatives, yesterday, in the Civil and
Diplomatic Appropriation bill, but not great deal,
and the probability is that that measure will hang
on for some days yet II may be disposed of to-
day OF to. morrow; but il is doubtful if it will be
passed before Friday or Saturday.
The Senate were engaged the whole of yester-
day in debating the Fugitive Slave bill. Mr.. Ma
son offered very important amendment, which
was adopted, providing for the establishment of a
board of three commissioners in each county,
whose duty it will be to hear, and decide upon all
ouestions connected with fugitive slaves, their de-
cison TO be final, and the United States Marshals
of the district to be empowered to carry them into
effect further provision in the amendment pro-
vdes that in certain the value Of the fugitive
slave is to be paid to the owner by the United
States government. Mr.. Underwood, however,
afterwards gave notice of his intention to Introduce
an amendment, in the shape of a substitute, for the
whole bill There is no likelihood that this sub
ject will be disposed Of Immediately. II is as
Stunning an important shape, and promises to evoke
a good deal of discussion before it is settled
That it will pass, however, the re seems to be no
doubt at present, at all events.

uhc next Election in New York-Proeeed-

In view of the importance Of the next election in
this State we perceive that several Of the nfuen-

themselves to consolidate the party, go that il may
rrceent an unbroken front when the contest takes
place They allude, indirectly, 10 the spiri, offac-
lion and dictaiion whish has 90 long been Inhibited

Gated under the naEe OF progress, by one of the

with great truth, tina, tends TO divide the party,

should be adjusted, 80 that the whg party may be
able 20 meet the democrats serms Of eqEalily,

Arrival of the Steamship Europa mt H~i-
fax-One Week Later from Europe.

The steamship Europa arrived at Halifax on
Monday evening last, but, from some cause or
other we did not receive our dispatches until yes
terday synopsis of the news will be found in
another column.
There il no important feature connected with
this intelligence. No change had taken place in
the position Of affairs between Denmark and
Schleswia- Hols,ein. According to the accounts,
the Duchies are determined 10 hold out, and will
scsu try the fortune Of war. 1t was supposed that
England and Russia would soon interfere, in case
the dispute be not brought 10 an issue soon. II
srpears that two hundred German officers have
Joined the ranks Of the Scheswig- Hols,eins This
shows the deep interest which some Of the German
States take Ia the contest. No doubt another en-
gagernent will coon take place between the hostile
arnieP, if such an event has not occurred before
this.
The crops, IL seems, are retarted in England, by
Continuance Of wet weather, and there is no
doubt that the potato blight has shown itself in
seyeral coHniiee in Ireland, especially towards the
south The celebrated Gorham case has been
finally disposed Of, and, although our accounts dc
not mention the feet il is likely that the reverend
gentlemen has been INDICTED in the vicarage which
WIS presented TO him hy the crown. As matte.
al course, this will widen the breach in the English
Church establishment, and, peihaps, lead to some
important results.
Another political agitation has commenced in
Ielard, in which Il is said, great portion Of the
wealth and Intelligence Of the country has EN-
baked. lts objects, from what We have heard,
are TO accomplish, by peaceful means. revolution
in the government Of that country. 1t is TO be
hoped that it Will be more successful than the re-
PEAL agitation.
The steamship Atlantic made the trip to Liver
pool in t,n day and twelve hours, nom wharf to
wharf, which is less by five hours than it was ever
done. The character ofthe Collins line Of steam
thips is now fairly established.
The commercial news by this arrival is Of some
importance, all descriptions OF cotton under fair
have rdeclired an eighth Of penny per pound.
Corn, on the other hand, experienced an advance.
We will probably receive the mails by the EuroPs

1t to the Committee Territories.
Mr. THOMPSON, of Miss, said that q few days ago the
Committee OF the hole the State Of the Union de-

make a motion. He, however, differed from this deei
sion but raised the point whether the delegate could
move to refer.
The srKAEER gave his reasons at length, aud over
ruled the point Of order
Messrs BvKr and DuIR contended that delegates
were not members of the House, and, consequently,
cannot exercise the privileges Of members. He has
only the right to debate

FUGITIVE sLAyR BILL.
After the consideration Of the morning business,
the fugitive slave bill again taken up the ques-
ton being upon Mr.. Msson's amendment, which was
adopted without q division. This amendment pro-
vides in effect that three commissioners shall be ap-
pointed in each county by the federal Judge of the
several judicial districts, who shall hear and deter
mine in a fair manner every OF an alleged fugi-
tive from slavery The deposition am aavit of the
owner to be certified before Judicial officer in
the State from which the slave may have fed, and
proof Of the identity Of the person claimed deem
ed sufficient proof warrant the delivery OF the fagi
tive to the claimant who shall be subject to fur
ther molestation in the conveyance Of his slave bask
to the place from which he had fed, the decision of
the commissioner being fnal The marshal and his
deputies directed to execute the warrants issued
by these commissioners, and penalty Of six months
imprisonment q fine of one thousand dollars Is i'm
posed upon those who shall aid In the escape of slave
from the claimant 1t also provides that II the slave
is rescued from the claimant after being delivered
into his hands by the commssi Toner, his her slave
shall be paid for out OF the treasury Of the United
States.
Mr. PRATT moved further to amend the bill by adding
sil more stringent provisions for the payment by the
United States Of the value escaped slaves who shall
not be delivered up to the claimant by the officers
whose duty ii IL made execute this law Mr. Pratt
supported his amendment at considerable length clos
ing his observations with dissertation upon the i'm
propriety and impracticabity of abolshing slavery
throughout the Union, aud some structures upon a
speech delivered in Ohio sometime since by ndi
vidual whom he designated as the higher law Sena-
tor.
Mr.. DAYTON opposed the amendment. He would like
to get rid Of this agitation by making 1t question of
dollars and cents merely but il must be done legal
and constitutional way The principle involved in the
amendment proposed was one which IL adopted,
would lead to disastrous results.
Mr.. BADGER advocated the amendment. If the feds-
raj government failed to perform its du
ty IL but just that the United States make good to
the owner Of the slave his or her value.
Mr.. BUTLER contended that the federal governm ent
