Al audience Of thou=a7sls assembled At tho ;
Music Hall this forenoon ll:ar Wendell Phil !
lf,,a' discourse on Mobs AM. Education, An |
ticirating some disturbance, the Chief or Po- t
lice, with numerous force, was present, and |
several military companies, actin. under pri- |
stc orders from the authorities, were in ,esst'
nces at their ar1norfcs. The audience In the !
body If the Hall seemed composed OF those !
usually attending Sabbath services there, and /
embracing m equal proportion OF ladies. Tho
galleries and wings were crowded with men
apparently strangers to the preaching Of Thco-
dorc Parker and those who succeed him.
Mr.. Phillips spoke Of naobs in gcncrs1, and
the mob Which broke up the late John Brown
meeting in particular. His remarks were dis.
tiuguisfird By lis usual eloqutncc Of words in
tho dcnunciation OF everything aud everybody
dsa:reeiDg WITH he extreme ., views puculla.t
daily press Of Boston, and the miserable Inca
pscity OF the city government. Under tho
nrst head, Mr.. Far, who presided over the
! meeting raised on the ruins of the John Brown
| Convention, received the full measure Of the
/ speakers abuse. Under the second, he said
| that, with the exception Of the -1f'ax and Ber,
| 10 daily paper has uttered word Of hearty,
| fitting rebuke Of the mob, and the daily pa
| pcrs we're nothing but 1esplcnble tools. The
! Mayor he held personally responsible for al
lowing the siisgracefMl attack upon reaecab3c
citizens in fremont Temple
Air. Phillips spoke nearly IN hour and
}>7lE, and WAS listened to with close attention,
| the meeting being interrupted occasionally by
| STAMPING and htsscs.
At the close Of the meeting 4 large crowd
had gathered on the ontsi!le If the building,
| and on tho appearance Of A{r. Phillips great
| rush was made, but whether with an intent Of
| Violence townrd him Is uncertain. His friends
at once rallied, and with large force Of police
escorted him to his residence iu EsEex street,
mob Of several hundred pressing around,
l In fors %i.4,N
blocked up Washington and Essex street,
stopping tho street carr, and crowdinS the poo
pic misce;lancously. The cold weather anil
| the urgent arguments Of the police dispersed
tho crowd In about half an honr, and the usual
Satbath4aay quiet was restored.
There were many contradictory statements,
yesterday, in regard to the military; but IL IS a
fact that eevcral companies Of the I'd regemeat
were notified to be IN readiness, but their ser
yiccs were not called for. Private meetings.
have recently been held. and It Is believed that
III organization exists with tho determination
to prevent Mr.. Phillips from speaking on any
secular lav or evening. Had the present ocea-
sion not been the Sabbath, little doubt exists
but that fearful riot would hare ensued.
