WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE LATE
BOSTON MOB.
Great Gathering at Music Hall.

UredG OdGueTlnS dG MUSIC Hall.
DISoRDERLY SCENES IN THE STREETS.
BosroN, Dec. l6.--An audience of thOus-
andS assembled at the Music Hall, this fore.
noon, TO hear Wendell Phillips discourse on
"nobs aud educatious." Anticipating some
disturbance the chief of police, with numer
Gus force was present, and several military
companies acting under private orders from
the authorities, were IN readiness at their ar.
mories. The audience in the body OF the
hall seemed composed OF those usually attend
ing Sabbath services there, and embraced
about an equal proportion OF ladies. The gal
leries and wings were crowded with men, APP
parenty strangers TO the preaching OF Iheo-
dOre Parker and those who succeed him.
Mr.. Phillips spoke OF MODS III general, and
the mob which broke up the late John Brown
meeting ia particular. His remarks were dis
tinguished by his usual cloquence OF words in
the dcnunciation OF everything and every body

to himself. lie spoke Of the ignorance ul the
daily press Of Boston and miserable i'll.

John Brown convention, received the full

Atlas and Bee, no daily paper has uttered

or he held personally responsible for allowing
the disgraceful attack upon peace able citizens
in fremont Temple. Mr. Phillips spoke for
nearly an hour and halt, and was listened TO
with close atten;ion, the meeting being liter
ruptcd occasionally, but very briefly, by
stamping and kissing.
At the close Of the meeting a large crowd
had gathered oItside the building, and on tho
appearance OF Mr.. Phillips great rush was
made, but whether with purpose OF violence
towards him seemed uncertain. Ills friends

lice escorted him TO his residence in Essex
street, a mob OF several hundreds pressing
around, cheering aud yelling. The mob for
some time blocked up Washington and Essex
Streets stopping horse cars aud Cruwdng prO

The cold weather and the urgent arguments
of the police, at engt.. dispersed the crowd,
and the usual sabbath day quiet was restored.
Thee were many contradictory statements
yesterday about the military, but it is a fact
that several companies of the second regi'
ment were notified to be in readiness, but
their services were not called for.
Private meetings have recently been held,
and it is believed an organization exists with
the determination to prevent Mr.. Phillips from
speaking on any secular day or evening Had
the present occasion not been the Sabbath,
little doubt exists but that "A fearful riot would
have ensued.

American commerce that there should be peace
in China, we should not be surprised If the
merchants OF New York and Philadelphia would
accede to the proposition Of ''the solid men" of
Boston; and as, in a diplomatic sense, it would
promote the interests of this country with the
Chinese government to interpose in war for
which they cannot have much relish, there can
ton would offer its mediation, if it thought
such a movement would be acceptable to
England and France. But in view Of the
extreme probability of the contrary, it is
not likely that our government would assume
such delicate position, unless requested to
do so by one or other of the belligerent parties.
But should the government at Washington
volunteer its good Offices, England, we are con-
fdent, would not accept the offer, for she has
been too badly whipped on the Peiho to be-
come reconciled to China till that disgrace is
wiped out by lesson in the art of war which
the Chinese will not soon forget The pride of
our transatlantic cousins demands vengeance
and satisfaction, and their interests require it,
too; for until the Chinese have received Sc
we're drubbing from John Bull, they will laugh
at all his overtures for the establishment of
satisfactory commercial relations between the
two countries. As 1t it, the children Of "the
Central Flowery Land" think they are the SUI
periors of the outside British barbarians, and it
will take at least one or two bloody battles to
set them right on the subject. Then, perhaps,
American mediation might do good
In the meantime, we would suggest that as
charity begins at home, the Boston merchants
would turn their attention to the prevention OF
the shedding of human blood on American
soil. The blood of Americans ought to be
more precious in their sight than that OF John
Chinaman, and the stability of our government
ought to claim little more Of their regard
than the relations between two European go
vernments and the far distant Chinese. The
English have been long, and without avail,
making tremendous fuss about our negroes,
which is matter entirely Of our own concern,
while the same amount of zeal might accom-

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF Accr.
pKNTs.- Whenever an accident Of an alb
sorbing character occurs, whether it be
the breaking of the Atlantic cable, the
burning of tenement house, or the fall
of the Pemberton Mills, we are favored
with such an amazing quantity of correspon-
dence suggesting all kinds Of measures for pre-
vention and remedy, that the wonder is how
any accidents happen at all-there seem to be
50 many inventions and appliances for avoiding
them. Since the fatal conaagration in Elm street
we have received some fifty or more letters on
various modes of escaping from burning build
ings, many of which we have published, and
many more remain unused. One writer thinks
that no house should be built higher than four
stories, or, if they are, that every floor should
have an iron gallery in front, each one CON.
Meeting with the other by means of hatchway
and step ladder. Another suggests that the
floor timbers of every house should have cast
iron shoe at the end where it runs into the
brick work, to prevent accidents by fire from
imperfect dues. Another, again, inclines to the
fire escape principle employed in London, sug-
costing that the escapes should be chained to
every hydrant throughout the city, and the keys
deposited at the station houses, engine houses,
the house opposite every hydrant, and with the
policemen on duty at night; while another pro-
poses to insert iron bars in the front wall of
every tenement house, at close intervals, which
might serve rs step ladders in case of fire.
Upon the whole, we have received 80 many
suggestions as to modes of escape, that there
seems little room to expect any further disaster
like that in Elm street, for which no remedy
may be adopted. If such should occur, it will
not be for want Of fertility in devising the
means Of preventing IL.

in the domestic affairs of his neighbor, and de-
sires to keep On the best terms with him, yet
goes into the street, harangues crowd and
denounces him as q monster, as cruel to his
family, and as committing all sorts of abo.
limitations In his own house? Clearly he
would be pronounced hypocrite, for he
does interfere most efectually in his neigh
boris family affairs by stirring up hatred, and
perhaps violence, against him. Garrison and
his fellow agitators have kept denouncing the
South till at last they have not only produced
an invasion in Virginia, but raised a great
party against the existence of slavery in the
Southern States, and therein lies the danger.
