BosToN, APRIL 29-l0 p. M.
A Geographic despatch having reached here this
morning, announcing that the Hon. DANIEL WEB
sTER had left New York in the early train for Bos-
ton, large concourse of people assembled this af
ternoon in the immediate vicinity of the Revere
House, under the expectation that he would address
his felIow-ctzens on the great questions of the
day. At FIVE o'clock, about the time the New
York cars were expected, the crowd had greatly
increased in numbers there being much less than five
thousand persons assembled.
At quarter past five o'clock open barouche, drawn by
two horses coming up the street, which contained
Mr.. WEBSTER, Mr.. CHoATE, and one two other dsn-
guished gentlemen He received with repeated cheers
After the cheering had subsidized BENJAMIN Curtis, Esq,
in behalf of the citizens Of Boston, addressed Mr. WEBSTER
in brief but highly complimentary speech, in which he
alluded 10 the which Mr.. w. had recently taken in
the Senate the exciting questions which still before
the country for settlement.
As Mr.. CuRTIs had Concluded his remarks, Mr..
WEBSTER from his seat in the barouche reply, which
the signal for renewed cheering Unfortunately for the
reporters Of the press, well for the public generally
their opportunity for hearing did not enable them to obtain
much than fourth of Mr.. WEBsTRRs speech, nowh-
standing the remarkable and well known c,eaness of his
enunciation.
