the newspapers of this afternoon inform me that
the Board of Alderman have refused your request
for the use of Fanueil Hall.
I care nothing for this personally, except that it
deprives me of the gratification of seeing you, al
though if I supposed that the general voice of the
people of Boston approved this proceeding, it would
I confess, cause me the deepest regret.
The resolution denying you the hall, has been
adopted, if I mistake not by the same Board which
has practically refused to join with the other branch
of the city government in offering the hospitalities
of the city to President Fillmore.
Gentlemen, for nearly thirty years I have been
in the service of the country by tbe choice of the
people of Boston, and the appointment of the Legis
gislature of Massachusetts. My public conduct
through the whole of that long period is not un
known, and I cheerfully leave it to the judgment
of the country now and hereafter.
Since the commencement of March last year I
have done something and hazarded much to uphold
the Constitution of the United States, and to main
tain the interests of the most vital importance to
thc citizens of Boston, and I shall do and hazard
more whenever, in my judgment, it becomes ne
cessary that more be done or more be hazaided I
shall perform with unflinching perseverence to the
end, my duty to the whole country; nor do I in the
slightest degree fear the result.
Folly and fanaticism may have their hour. They
may not only effect the minds of individuals, but
they may also seize upon the public bodies of great
er or less dignity, but their reign is destined to be
short, even where, for the moment, it seems most
triumphant.
We of Massachusetts are not doomed to a course
of political conduct, such as would reproach our
ancestors, destroy our own prosperity, and expose
us to the derision of the civilized world. No sucli
future is before us. Far otherwise.
Patriotism, the union of good men fidelity to the
Constitution in all its provisions, and that intelli
gence which has hitherto enabled the people of this
state to deserve and to appreciate their own politi
cal blessings, as well as what is due to their own
history and character, will bring them back to their
accustomed feelings of love of country, and respect
and veneration of its institutions.
I am yours, &c.,
Dax. W7ebster.
navmg sat down to the supper. Willis Hall pre
sided, who, after the cloth was removed, introduced
the intellectual exercises by pronouncing a warm
eulogium upon Mr. Clay. Messrs. Joseph L.
White, N. B. Blunt, Depeyster Ogden, Geo. Cor
nell, Calvin Mather, and others also made speech
es, as did Mr. Marcoleta, the Nicaraguan Minis
ter, who was an invited guest A number of let
ters to the committee of invitation were read from
other invited guests who could not make it conve
venient to attend, amongst which we notice letters
from Mr. Webster, Senator Dickinson, Hon. Ed
ward Everett, an Mr. Clay.
The following are the most prominent of the
regular toasts which were drunk on the occasion :
Henry Clay : " You are still to us all that you
have been throughout our lives still great, hon
orable, just, pure, patriotic, and wise still 'first of
living men,' and 'first in our hearts;' still greater
than President or Monarch, for you are still Hen
ry Clay."
The President of the United States : Nur
tured in the school of principle inculcated by the ,
Sage of Ashland, heartily do we approve the broad
and comprehensive nationality of his admin
istration, and with one accord we say with him,
that we regard the settlement of the vexed ques
tions by the last Congress " as final."
Washington" : A Nation's ceaseless homage is
their eternal monument to his greatness and to his
goodness.
The Cabinet of Milard Fillmore : At a cri
sis in the history of the country, a parrallel to
which we hope never again to find in our day, these
men were selected for their services and fidelity
to their whole country. In their patriotism we
place implicit and relying confidence.
The Colleagues of Henry Clay in the Com
promise of 1850, in the Senate and in the House :
Patriot brothers in a holy cause, they buried party
differences upon the altar of a common country.
The Union: "We know no North, no South,
no East, no West nothing but our Country."
A Big Fortune. We understand, says the Bal
timore Clipper, that a fortune of one million six
hundred thousand dollars has been left in England
by a family to three sisters residing in the western
part of the city ; besides a farm in Centreville,
Queen Anne's couty, Md-, valued at several thou
thousand dollajs. One of the heiress recently
marjied a city- bailiff", who resides up town.

FROM THE ATLANTA (GA.) INTELLIG EN'CEIt OFAVRII.IO
One hundred and twenty enterprising looking
young men took the Macon and Western cars from
this city this morning, bound professedly for Cali
fornia, but it is well understood here that the there
intended destination is the Island of Cuba. Several
young men from the Atlanta joined the company
before it left. It is, perhaps, worthy of notice, in
this connexion, that half a dozen boxes of rifles
were yesterday morning shipped on the Atlanta
and West Point railroad from this place.

York for the high honor to which the Whig par
ty have raised him, in the columns of the Albany
Register :
" We are enabled to state, upon the most rilia

the 'Senate, has written a letter in which he says
in 'substance that he shall exert himself in that
post 'to give a faithful and cordial support to the
Administration, at whose head he is pleased to re
cognise a personal friend, as well as a distinguish
ed leader of the political party in his own State
in whose ranks he has ever labored zealously."
An Enlivening Scene at Sen.
Mr. Clay received a fine compliment from a Uni
ted States frigate while on his passage from Havana
to New Orleans. Thc steamer Ohio, on which he
was a passenger, having overhauled the steamer
frigate Saranac, late in the evening, the latter was
illuminated with large battle lights fore and aft,
and during the passing of the Oaio, fired a salute
of thirteen guns and four volleys of muskery in
honor of Henry Clay. The firing of rockets and
the burning of blue lights so illuminated the ships
that the people could be distinctly recognised from
the decks of each vessel. Three cheers were
given by the passengers of the Ohio, which wero
answered by the crew of the Saranac. The still
ness of the night and the calmness of the water
lent enchantment to the scene, which is represen
ted to have been one of the most magnificent ever
seen at sea.
