DINNER TO Mr.. WEBsTER-The movement for
the compliment of Congressional dinner to Mr..
WEBSTER is received with much favor, and, if it
should be extended beyond that circle, it will be
one of the grandest affairs ever witnessed at the
capital In all political circles there is the most
friendly and anxious disposition to do any act or to
render any respect which might be supposed accep-
table to him and the demonstration now proposed,
or indeed any other that might be suggested would
be hailed with true satisfaction as affording the
opportunity of offering evidence of gratitude enter
tanned for valuable services and of respect for his
national character. The present purpose is to ar
range the dinner the scale and style of that ten
dered to Mr.. CLAY ten years ago when leaving the
Senate. As the celebration will be postponed in
any event until after Mr.. WEBsrER's return from

The hour for organizing the meeting was eight but
chairman was not available until o'clock when Mr..

chair Messrs. May, Hobbs, and Blake WERE by SINH

" Mr.. Williams made speech about General ScoTT, of
such character that that auditory whose object in
assembling reject his nomination would not listen
to it, He followed by Mr. Winslow, who eufogzed
Mr. Webster, very justly abstaining from offensive
marks about other gentlemen, and frequently APP
pauded MIR. Dennison, editor of sour Country" was
also present and proposed series of resolutions pledg
