Mr. Webster in New York. Mr. Webster arrived in New York on the 4th inst. and on the next day received his friends at the City Hall and delivered a speech of half an hour's length, in reply to a complimentary address from J. D. Ogden, Esq., the President of the Chamber of Commerce. He did not touch upon political questions—having learned, we hope, a little discretion by the fate of his speech in Faneuil Hall. We do not know that we can better describe its character than by quoting the language of the N. Y. Herald. That paper says: 'His remarks were confined principally to generalities—to the importance & value of peace between England and the United States—to the progress of civilization—to his recent negotiations—and to several other matters. He did not touch upon his position, or his relations with the President, or utter one word relative to future events. Dark—darker—darkest. It was a non-committal speech clear through.' A vast crowd attended on the occasion.
