PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, January =
The steamship CITY of Glasgow cane up
the Delaware this morning from Chester. where
she lay last night and anchored in the river OPP
posite Dock st. wharf amid the firing OF cannon
and the cheers ofthousauds who lined the wharves.
Her freight list amounts TO the sum of S35,000.
A number OF our prominent citizens went down
this morning for the purpose OF welcoming the
City Of Glasgow" Morton McMichael, Esq.
welcomed Capt Mathews OF that vessel to this
city in some appropriate remarks, to which Capt.
Mathews replied In an admirable msnner. tie
stated that on numerous occasions he had re-
ceived from the American people marks OF kind.
ness, but never anything to equal his reception
here. The warmth and cOrdiRity here exhibited
surpassed nythmg Of the kind that he had ever
experienced. Although not an American, he had
learned to love this country, and even when IN
Europe he so constantly telt constrained to speak
in terms of admiration OF America that his own
countr, men could scarcely believe him. He felt
very sanguine to the success OF the undertaking
TO establish steam communication between this
city and Liverpool During the late voyage he
had discovered that there was only about twenty
hours difference between the time required TO
come to Philadelphia and New FORK, aud there is
no reason why there should not be frequent com.
munication by steam. He was the pioneer Of
steam communication between England and this
country and since it began he had made ninety
nine voy ages across the Atlantic by stesm--htty
from England to America, and forty nine from
America to England. If he lived to make his
return trip he would have completed his hun
dredth steam voyage across the ocean. During
all this time he had been remarkably fortunate
and had met with no mishap except the single
one on the late trip Of the Glasgow, when one Of
the seamen was washed overheard.
The scene along the whsrves this morning,
upon the appearance of the steamship, beggars
description. | never saw the Delaware at this
point in such blaze. IL appeared as if every
wharf possessed a cannon, which determined, by
speaking frequently, to make itself heard. No
accidents happened, however, and everything
passed of pleasantly.
This morning large cotton and wooden factory,
and Ridgway's drug mill, at Bush Hill, were de-
strpyed BY fire. Loss about $4,000.
