No man could gaze upon the orator with the fixed and unabstracted at tention which we devoted to him without feeling that be was listening to the outpourings of a powerful intellect. The very peculiar situation in which the speaker stood in relation to the political affairs of the country; his connection with an administration which was known to have had little favor with his audience, except what it gathered from that connection, the presence of an immense number of his fellow-citizens, who had but recently been his constituents, and who had at all times rejoiced to pay him the meed of honor for his distinguished talents, and gratitude for the eminent services he has rendered the country-all these things, and more than all these things, conspired to make this a scene of the most intense and thrilling interest. Throughout the whole of his address, Mr. Webster was listened to with riveted attention, interrupted only by the occasional rounds of applause. On many of the points commented upon by the speaker, his audience responded cordially to the sentiments to which he gave utterance. In his explanations in relation to the negotiation of the treaty, and his observations upon the currency, he was lucid and satisfactory, and at some points delivered himself in tones of the most forcible and effective eloquence. There are some parts of this speech in which all those who are acquainted with our previously and often expressed opinions, will at once perceive that it is impossible for us to agree with the speaker. There are those, unquestionably, who will think it the height of presumption in us to utter any thing in opposition to what is advanced from such high authority; but we live in a free land, and public men and public measures are at all times fit subjects of free and fair comment. We have not now time or space to state the points upon which we feel it our duty to dissent from the views taken by the orator; but there is one upon which we cannot allow even this paper to pass from the press without expressing our disagreement. Mr. Webster, in commenting upon the resolution Mr. Webster asks whether it is expedient, by thus denouncing Mr. Tyler, to hazard the appointments of such whigs as Mr. Everett, as minister in London, Levi Lincoln, as collector of Boston, and others; and this question is asked with apparent seriousness, with the dismissal of Jonathan Roberts fresh in the memory of the public-a dismissal made upon grounds which, in our judgment-and we speak only of course for ourselves-renders it impossible for a man of honor and self-respect to hold a seat in the cabinet of Mr. Tyler. of the revolution of 1840" has been accomplished. Our difficulties with Great Britain have been peacefully settled, for the present, on nearly half the questions at issue. If the rest should again threaten, we have the easiest remedy in the world-we have only to revolutionize our own internal government; for that is the proper resort for arranging all foreign difficulties. MR. BERRIEN'S SPEECH AT NEW YORK. Mr. Berrien made an address to a whig meeting in New York two weeks since, of which the Express speaks as follows: "After a beautiful eulogy on the lamented Harrison, by whose death the bright hopes of the whig party had faded away, Mr. Berrien launched forth into a dignified and manly examination of the succession of Mr. Tyler. He declared that it had been the great duty, as it was the high privilege of the successor of general Harrison, under all circumstances of the case, to have carried out the will of those who had honored him, and who, in honoring him, expectBut we desire not to pursue this painful topic fur-ed him to have done as the whig elected president ther; and only add, in conclusion, that we look upon this speech as determining that Mr. Webster means to retain his place in the cabinet of John Tyler.

He had been associated with the virtuous Harrison; he had been elected by the whigs, and he was bound by every honorable consideration to have carried out whig measures. tention. Mr. Webster announced, in the course of his speech, "An allusion here, by the speaker, to Jonathan that he sould take an early opportunity to address Roberts was received with great applause, and a rethe whigs of Massachusetts again, when he will en-statement of the conduct of President Tyler towards ter more particularly into a discussion of his position this distinguished man was listened to with great atin relation to the whig party. When this discussion has been had, we can judge more justly and more fairly on this subject, and shall only say now, that if Mr. Webster expects to dictate to the whig party of Massachusetts, he will find-entitled to very great weight and consideration as he is that he far overestimates the amount of his influence here. The great whig party of the old Bay State, and of all the states, have resolved on their course, and with unparalleled uuanimity fixed on their man; and they will not waver for a moment, nor be driven from their position by any man or set of men. The ball is in motion, and nothing on earth can stop it. Mr. Webof the great whig party-and as such, his opinions ster speaks but as an individual-as one member only will pass for what they are worth. We allude to Mr. Webster's remarks in relation to the recent whig convention. Surely a more respectable body of men than composed that convention never met within the commonwealth. From Of his condemnation of the doings of the state contwelve to fifteen hundred of our most respectable vention recently held in Boston, we only remark, citizens, embracing nearly every profession and occupation, representing very nearly every town in the that it was most gratuitous and presumptuous.

The members came into the lectured upon their duties by any man. [Such is the language generally of the whig press same sacred hall in which Mr. Webster poured forth his strains of eloquence. They came there for the throughout Massachusetts and the other states of the the most praiseworthy and patriotic objects. Their union.] proceedings were characterized throughout by the most perfect propriety. They were fully authorised by the very terms of their appointment, not only o nominate candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, but "to transact such other business as might come before them." The resolution which has been the subject of the present animadversion, and which declared complete political alienation of the whigs of this commonwealth from John Tyler, had been ⚫ adopted over and over again at smaller and more local assemblies. It was responded to, so far as we know, by every delegate present. There was not a question as to the unanimity of sentiment in relation to it. It was perfectly well understood, too, through out the commonwealth, that the subject of the national nominations would come up before the convention. It had been a matter of free conversation in all the whig circles. It had been canvassed by all the whig papers in the state. The whig delegates were elected by the whig people with the full Knowledge that they would be called to act upon those nominations; and, in some of the towns, express instructions were given to the delegates to vote for the nominees of that convention. In both these acts the convention did but echo the opinions and feelings of their constituents; and we cannot admit that in either the resolution or the nomination they in anywise transcended their vested authority. "Mr. Berrien next referred to the oral addresses and communications of President Tyler to show that he had violated in his practice every professed principle of his past life. He alluded, too, to the name, and to the splendid services of Henry Clay, and now, as whenever during the evening, Mr. Clay's name was heard in the hall, it was responded to with the most hearty enthusiam. The professed friendship of Mr. Tyler, for Mr. Clay, when mentioned, was also received with mingled emotions of contempt for the man who had been so false to his professions, and of admiration for the man who had been so ungenerously and unjustly treated by his false friend. "The veto power was also discussed and its exercise by the present occupant of the presidential chair and a fair review of these abominations was stated, and awakened the indignation which such an exercise of power would naturally arouse. "Mr. Webster's speech was alluded to incidentally also, and the advice given by Mr. Webster to the whigs to adhere to Mr. Tyler, was spoken of. The reference at once awakened the whole feeling of the audience. The recommendation of Mr. Webster to submit and support the president, met with no reMr. Berrien did not name the secretary of state, but his meaning was too plain to be misunderstood. sponse.

The National Intelligencer, also notices, with irony, the notion put forth in Mr. Webster's speech, that a into power, was the negotiation of a treaty with main object of the struggle by which the whigs came Great Britain. The following is the concluding portion of the article: The first object, he says, of the great revolution of 1840 was to bring into power an administration that would, by skilful negotiation, terminate our differen ces with Greet Britain. Now, by universal assent, the country contained no man so fit take charge of these negotiations as Mr. Webster, therefore, the first object of the revo lution of 1840 was to have Mr. Webster to conduct the treaty with Lord Ashburton. From the New York American of the 1st. Of the speech itself, we need hardly say that it is marked with all the ability of the distinguished gentleman who delivered it; and would we could stop It is singular how little men understand their own here.

"I can't, said Mr. Berrien, concur in this advice to submit. I have no blood in my veins which tells me to submit. We can't submit to the usurpation of authority. What then is our duty? To stand Stand firm, and we shall obtain our objects. Let firmly and indomitably by the principles we love.— every man feel and do his duty. Let the public mind be conciliated to our principles. Let us throw upon that one man who holds in his hands the happiness of seventeen millions of people, the indignation and the reprobation, which for his conduct he so richly merits. Do this, and I believe that the triumph of the whig party is as certain as the revolution of time.

CORNSTALK MOLASSES. The Wabash Courier gives an account of the successful manufacture of cornstalk molasses in Vigo county, Indiana. It appears by the following extract from the Tippecanoe Journal. that the same experiment has been made successfutly in another section of the state: "We were presented, a few days ago, with a bottle of a beautiful clear and fine-flavored molasses manufactured from cornstalks, by Mr. James Brown, of Randolph township, in this county. It looks very much like strained honey, and, to our taste, is altogether preferable to the article manufactured from the sugar cane. Mr. Brown has four acres of corn which he planted expressly for the purpose of manufacturing it into molasses and sugar, and he expects to commence the manufacture in a few days. He has constructed a machine or mill for grinding the stalks, which runs with two horses, and is capable of producing from one hundred to one hundred and fifty gallons of the juice of the cornstalk per day. He is much pleased with his first experiment. although the corn, he thinks, had not attained sufficient age. Out of three gallons of the juice, as it came from the mill, he had nearly five pints of molasses. Fersons wishing to see a specimen of this new species of manufacture, can be gratified by calling on the editor of this paper." SILK CONVENTION.

The three streets and their boundaries, east and west, occupy an area of from six to seven acres, and nearly every building within this space has been destroyed. Piles of warehouses and extensive sheds, crammed with costly merchandise, have been suddenly reduced to heaps of heterogeneous and almost valueless matter.

The importation of meat excites a good deal of alarm among the graziers, who anticipate, in consequence, a serious depreciation of prices; for, if provisions are rendered at such law rates now in anticipation of the reduction of import duty, which comes into operation on the 10th instant, they will be conbreeze from the N.

MOST EXTENSIVE FIRE. A fire, the most extensive and destructive that has occurred in this town for many years past, broke out about 3 o'clock this morning in a paint manufactory and oil wharehouse in Paisley street, which is a small street leading from Great Howard street to Bath street.

There has been a protracted drought in Germany; the grass and clover are burnt up; the peasantry eagerty sell their live stock; and the greatest fears are entertained of short provisions for the winter. Vol. XIII-Sia. 8. The fire, whether we regard the calamity in respect to the rapidity with which it spread, its extent, the destruction of property, or the loss of life, is equally certain to excite painful feelings at the present moment, while it will form the subject of a Igloomy record in the annals of the town hereafter. An individual, has been arrested and held to bail on a charge of being the author of the great fire in Liverpool, which occurred on the 24th ult, The American tariff has been a chici topic of conversation in mercantile circles both in England and France, and is complained of as virtually prohibitive of many important articles heretofore imported into the United States from either country. The animadversions of the British press are strongly indicative of angry political feeling. The Ashburton treaty has been the theme of much discussion-many of the papers affirming that this country has the worst of the bargain. The mission of the right honorable Henry Ellis to Brazil, respecting the near termination of the commercial treaty with that country, has attracted considerable attention. The object is understood to be the obtaining of a modification, if not an abandonment of a design of the Brazilian government to lay heavy import duties upon British manufactures. The effect of the concessions in the British tariff are beginning to show themselves. Foreign produce is rapidly coming into competition with that of our home agriculturists. Accounts from different parts of the country agree in stating that the fall in the prices of live stock has taken place to a considerable extent.

We have just learned from undoubted authority, that Artim Bey, the confidential secretary of Mehemet Ali, is on his way to Paris for the purpose of negotiating there a loan of between £2,000,000 and £3,000,000, for which it is confidently stated 6 per cent. per annum will be of fered. It is also stated that the Pasha will give as a guarantee the export duties on cotton.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 7th ult. are given in the Augsburg Gazette of the 22d ult. They state that a collision had again taken place between the Maronites and Druses, in which lives were lost on both sides, and that the pasha had been obliged to interfere. According to the same letter a camp of 20,000 or 25,000 men was to be formed near Malatia, and fresh reinforcements had been sent to Erzeroum. By accounts from Belgrade of the 9th ultimo, we learn that a provisional government, consisting of the primates and the chiefs of the insurrection, had been organized for Servia, with the concurrence of the two Turkish pashas of Belgrade. Prince Michael has been invited to return to Belgrade, but upon conditions to which he had refused to accede. The English, French, Austrian and Russian consuls at Belgrade are stated to have protested against the expulsion of Prince Michael, and to have expressed great disapprobation at the support given by the Turkish pashas to the parties who rose in arms against their sovereign. A correspondent at Constantinople states that the porte inclines to yield to the recommendation of the great powers for restoring the peace of Syria-that recommendation being the nomination of a Maronite prince and a Druse prince to govern each their people, subject to the control of a Turkish governor-inchief. TEXAS. LOSS OF A steamer, and eiGHT OF HER CREW AND PASSENGERS. The steam packet Merchant, Capt. Boylan, left N. Orleans for Galveston on the evening of Sunday the 2d inst. with freight, and about 70 passengers, among whom were sixteen of the Santa Fe captives returning to Texas. On the next day the Merchant took a violent gale of wind and was stranded near the Island of Caio, on the morning of the 4th, dividing in two abaft the wheelhouse.

A change of ministry has taken place in Portugal, and a new cabinet has been formed. The new ministry is composed as follows; Maria de GERMANY. When the Merchant first struck, the report of two pistol shots were heard, and it was found that one of the passengers, a young gentleman named Jonah W. Barker, had, probably in a phrenzy of despair, shot himself-having, it was conjectured, previously shot another, whose name is unknown, and whose remains washed overboard.

His majesty was to proceed thence to Wosnesinsk, where he was to review the troops assembled in the neighborhood. The news from Circassia and Daghestan continue to be unfavorable to the Russian arms. A letter from St. Petersburg, dated Sept. 16, says: We have received here the melancholy news that the greater part of the city of Kasan has been destroyed by fire. It is stated that 1,200 houses (400 of which were of stone), 12 churches, the extensive magazine, and the university, are reduced to ashes. The details have not yet come to hand. The second St. Petersburg insurance company is a great loser by this fire. The shares which were lately sold at 410 to 415 rubles, are now sold at 240 CANADA. The session of parliament closed on Wednesday with the following speech from Sir Charles Bagol. Honorable gentlemen of the legislative council, and gen‐ tlemen of the legislative assembly: Although I anticipated, when I called you together. that your considerations might have been given at the present session to such public business of importance as seemed to require your early attention, yet I am induced by reasons of public convenience, and with a view to an early resumption of our joint labors, to put a close to the present session.
