The sun rose in clear, unclouded majesty, day was beautifully fine, with delightful fresh breezes blowing, rendering the day one of the most lovely that has ever come out of the heavens, even ia the month of September, so famous for fine days. Lord Ashburton, who is very regular and tempe- rate in his habits, and withal an early riser, was up this morning even earlier than usual, and was en- gaged at his escrotoire before breakfast, reading and answering letters ; after which, he sipped his coflec, read the Herald, ate a mouthful, looked out of the window, and then satdown and meditated. ‘Tue Scene at rue Crry Hatt —Between Hi and 12 o’clock, two of the Aldermen waited on Lord Ashburton, and escorted him to the Governor's Room in the City Hall, where a large crowd was in sttendance to see and shake hands.

In pursuance | thereof, it may be expected that, in due course of time, all the collectors, surveyors, postmasters, mar- shalls and other officers placed in office by his pre- iecessor, may be removed from office. The adven- | irous spirit of the age, points to such a rigorous | snovement—and the writings of the corrupt aristoc- racy seem to require it. Nothing can save the coun- try, purity its morals, or elevate its patriotism, bui an iron despotism ia the Executive, conducted on the principles of true philosophy, according to the spirit ot the age, and in strict conformity to the Constitution and laws This is the natural and phi- losophical tendency of the present state of parties— and nothing can prevent its ultimate success. It is the only policy that can save the Republic from in commotion—civil war—disunion—the awful corruptions of the banks—the plunderings of the financiers—and give us peace, prosperity, and « swong, healthy and philosophical government—such as an intellectual and moral democracy can sto.

Mr. Calhoun is ‘asy—Mr. Van Buren is busy ; and they are al! busy about the same kind of work.

Sveam Suir Caveponta started from Liverpool oathe 19th of August, and has, therefore, been thirteen days at sea. Her news will probably be here to-morrow. Ockan Steamens.—The steam ship Bangor, Capt. Dunn, whieh left Boston a short time ago for Gi- braltar, put into Halifax on the 23d ult., in conse- juence of one of her boilers having got out of order. Finding it ditlicult to get necessary repairs made tuere, she started the next morning for Pictou Navat.—U. S. brig Consort, Lieut. Downes, lately used as a receiving vessel at Portland, arrived at Boston last Tuesday, to be laid up. Conunodore Hull declines the appointment of the command of the ship afloat in Boston Harbor — Commodore Downes will probably receive the ap- nem. Commodore Morris has been ordered ed from the Brazils to the Mediterranean, to assume the command on that station. The Columbus, seventy-four, went to sea from Boston last Monday afternoon. Besides her offi- cers, her crew consists of—petty officers, 63; sea- ine. , 250; ordinary seamen, 165; landsmen, 128 ; 1 class boys, 48; apprentices, 58; marines, 62 “he Columbus nas generally been called a poor sail- er; from some alteration in her trim, or other cause, nosich fault appeared on Monday; she went to sea in fine style to pro Turvrricats.—Tar Scartet Dracon.—The Park is making wonderful strides in prosperity, at the low prices.

On reaching his rooms at that magnificent hotel, he lay down for an hour or two, in order to renovate himself to en- counter the ceremonies and fatigues incidental to the dinner. Tue Room—Nothing could exceed the beauty and exqnisite taste with which the room was deco- rated. Nothing gandy, nothing showy. All was in most exquisite keeping” ‘There were three continu- ous lines of drapery, red, blue and white, down the cornice of the sidés of the room which dropped i festoons down over the upper part of each win- dow. At the upper end of the room, behind the Chair- man, there were three most beautiful and simply gorgeouscanopies of pink, blue and white satin lrapery. Over, or rather on the top of the centre immediately behind the Chairman were ‘ds, inscribed on broad white bands, in gold THE TREATY Great Brrraiy, of Unrrep States, Meee ASMBURTON. ‘Wensrter. ‘The upper part of these conopies were festooned with wreaths of beautiful flowers, and the flowers were also entwined around the columns between the canopies; nothing could exceed the chaste beauty ofthe latter. Magaificent candelabras holding color- ed wax lights each were placed on the columns ; and between the upper part of each canopy were placed ull flags of the stars and stripes, bad ihe blood red Three magnificent golden chandeliers with fifteen colored wax lights each, hung down the cen- tre of the room, with a long festoon of roses stretch- ivg the whole length of the room and drooping be tween the chandeliers. There are seven windowsen each side of the room, and on each side of each window there was a golden candelatra,with five co- lored wax lights in each. At the room the orchestra for a fine German band was placed. The front of this was covered with pink, white, a’ d blue satin drapery arranged in tri- angles, and ornamented with festoons of flowers. Immediately over the orchestra and facing the chair- | man, the drapery was thus arranged :— 3 Society. British Ensign. Ensiga. British Coat of Arms. Society. Union Jack. American Banner of St. George’ Ss S & a In various parts of the table were seperb China vases filled with the choicest dahlias, roses and other flowers. A grand centre called a Bastion,cu- riou-ly made by James Stetson, was placed in front of the Chairman. In the front of it was a portrait of Prince Alvert, and underneath these words :— THE TREATY. Great Brrrain, Unitep States, AsnBuRTON—-W EBSTER AND WasuincTon. When we add to this that there were about fifty baskets of the choicest fruits of all kinds on a table in the centre, and the most magnificent arrange- ment of confectionary and luxurious wines, it wlil give but a faint idea of the splendor, gorgeous- ness, and desirableness ot this grand banquet. Athalf-past six about two hundred ladies, many beautiful, some homely, and all well dressed, were let in to see the room. ‘The waiters were admirably drilled, and about seven the company entered. All below the bend in the table at the head took their seats promiscuously. Those at the head of the ta- ble sat thus :— Hon. P. A. JAY, The Mayor Lord Ashburton Dr. Potts De. Wainwright Hon. George Evans, U. 8. Hon. Mr. Mills, Com’r, Mass. Senate Mr. Grattan Col. Bankhead Hon. Mr. Palmer Mr. Gordon, 1st Lieutenant Mr Buchanan, British Con- sul Lord John Hay Commodore Perry of the Warspite Hon, Mr. Mildmay Lieut. Kinsman, Warspite Lieut. Dixon, Warspite Mr Bruce Mr. Spedding Lieut. Jacobs, Warapite Dr. Johnson, Warspite Mr. Hone. Mr. Hopkins, Warspite Mr. Griswold Vice-Paesipents, Moses H. Grinnell J.D. P. Ogden. These were all guests. Among others we saw C. W. Lawrence, General Tallmadge, &c. &c, The band struck up Hail Columbia, as Lord Ash- burton leaned on the arm of P. M. Wetmore. As as the band ceased, Dr Wainwright said grace, all sat down, and the party fell to as if they hadn’t had anything to eat fora week. They seemed, as Sam Weller said, to eat in very desperation ; and some of them, at least, seemed determined to have the amount of their $10 in something ; and the way the champagne corks flew, before a mouthful to eat was touched, was a caution to landlords and hotel- keepers. The band played during the whole time occupied by the eating of the dinner, which was the longest dinner hour we ever remember to have seen,or heard orreadof. It really seemed as if some of the $10 gentlemen never would have done—or that they could not get enough. How they did eat, partieu- larly the committee. However, atter an hour and a half of hard eating, they did contrive te get through, . About 9 o'clock the first toast was given by Mr. Jay, ina very bungling manner. The President of the United States the Warapite—Commodore Perry and the Ameri- can naval officers on this station, will all visit the Park to-night. It will be 1 tearing occasion. We should not wonder if the root of the Park were to dy off in very exultation. Come, let us die of pure ioy—t's cheap now—only 75 cents a soal, iacluding brandy and water. Mrsicat, &c.—Baron de Fleur has been given concerts at Cincinnati. A Mrs. Thatcher is with him. Signor Nagel is at Montreal giving concerts w’th great eclat. per Ksapp is going South to stop, as he says, the horrible prog-ess of Satan in New Orleans. Ab- bey Keliy is holding forth at Rochesier. ‘Tue Great Cram Bake the other day in Rhode L. sad, went off with immense eclat, There were 50,000 people present. Ruopr Istanp Evecrioxs.—The Charter party pear to have carried the recent elections all their own way. Martian Law in Ruope Istaxo has been sus pended for an indefinite period. Tus Mancm ts Onwanp.—Two new cash penny papers have jast been started in}Halifax, N.S.; the Morning News and Morning Chronicle. $ The band played the President’s march. No cheers—no sensations, but all preserved an insu ing silence—some sneered—some jeered—some ji gied—and all drank ‘* The President of the United States” seated. ne Mr. Jay then gave “ The Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain und Ireland.” Butstrange to say,although Americans drank their President in silence, they drank the Queen of Great Britain with three cheers. Mr. Jay then gave “Our guest Lord Ashburton, vappiness and honor to him who has contributed to preserve peace between two Great Nations.” The nusic struck up “ The Fine Old English Gen- tleman.”” Lord Asuwontox then rose and said:—-Gentlemen, in eturning thanks for the honor you have just done me, I apprehend that Iwill not be regarded as departing from ‘he rules of ordinary custom of persons in my situation, in expressing my utter inability to expres the feelings with which I am everpowered. feel that the enthusiastic re- ception which you have been pleased to give to the toast just drank, has been elicited rather by the sentiments which mpanied it, than the name of the individual who has had the good fortune to be associated with it on hisoceasion. I can assure you, gentlemen, that never lid L experience more diffictilty to express ina few words ny deep feeling, than on this occasion. Never have I hnoen so forcibly impressed with the importance of the great subject with which my name has for some time vast been so fortunately connected. Having, as many of ow must be well aware, from the intimate connection ubsisting bet ween British andAmerican commerce,passed he early period of my lie in active commercial \eeuite, | hat hoped to have been enabled to pass my de- sing days in that peaceful quiet to which a life of indur- iso wellentitled. (Lond cheers.) But, nevertheless, vhen there was presented to me the Coty of aiding in the achievement of that which had long been the sin- cerest desire of my heart— the cementin, of these “hd oe countries—and I eed call ing for ir denizens are one inhabit ditfer- ent continents. (chee Whee te hod { at Spportenity ofter- ed could not for a moment hesitate. In these circum- stances I visited your shores, in order to conduct the ne- gociations which have so happily terminated, and which have on this evening received your enthusiastic approval. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I cannot but regard it as some- what singular and auspicious that the respectable gentle- man who at this hospitable board should happen to be the immediate descendant of a man whose name will livein your memories so long as honor, patriotism, and virtue are venerated—{ mean the late Mr.Jay. (Applau: ‘That illustrious man stepped forward on an occasion some: what similar to that which you now celebrate, and having visited England, happily succeeded in his errand of peace although made under circumstances of a far more difficult nature than those which surrounded me on a mission which has had a like fortunate termination The task imposed on Mr. Jay, wasindeed an arduous one. At that period wild passions were at work, and the voice of the messenger of peace could only with difficulty be heard. But amid all those trying circumstances that great man, and those who supported him, did maintain the independ- ence of this country, and saved both nations from a most the nations of the earth; and, undoubtedly, he laid the foundations of the great commercial prosperity of Ame rica. (Greatapplause.) Fortunately, gentlemen, 1 have had much less ditticulty to encounter ; for when I add to the reception | met with at Washington from the Presi- dent—from his Cabinet—from the ate and House of Representatives—that cordial welcome which | received ut Boston—that cradle of American liberty and independ- ence—and also the reception with which I have been greeted here, as well in your City Hall—where | have been toldthat! shook hands with upwards of three thou- sand persons, collected there by one common impulse— as at this festive board, around which I see such a large number of your most respectuble citizens, I naturally ask, where is the danger of war between England and Ame- riea? (Great applause.) Whatever may be hidden, I do not pretend to‘scan ; but, ofa verity [can say that I have seen nothing but the greatest and most unaifected cordi- ality, and good will and friendship. Still, although my mission has been made in peculiarly happy circumstances, yet trust that I will not be chargeable with vanity in saying that “I too have done the state some service.”. (Loud and long continued cheering, in which the voice of Major Jack Downing was heard vociferating “ bravo! bravo !”) Looking on thiscountry, and observing every where the same vigor of intellect, and the same generosity of feeling with which 1 had the honor to be acquainted many years ago, not bring myself to believe that such a my countrymen can ever be brought to make war upon each other. Yet it has, J must confess, afforded me the greatest possible gratification to reflect that 1 have been the humble rument of aidin, the settlement of those questions which formed the subject of the late nego- ciations. But it were great injustice on my part to as- hi sion, any peculiar merit to myself. 1 am bound to state, and | do it with sincere pleasure, that I have, as before remarked, met with nothing on the part of the authorities of your country but the same earnest feeling of good-will, and the same desire for honorable peace with which T have myself been animated. And more especially as it is my duty—as it is my pleasure—to offer my humble tribute of admiration and ‘acknowledge- ment to that by man—great in every sense of the word he undountedly is—your present Secretary of State. (Ap- plause.) A gentleman distinguished, as you all know, by the highest description of talent. My only regret is, that from accidental circumstances, he is prevented attending on the present occasion, which I regret the more because if he were present, his eloquence would do appropriate honor to this occasion. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, 1 have now only to express the high gratification 1 experience this evening, and that] shall ever retain the most grate- lection of your kindness. It is a common saying sons, as faradvanced in years as myself, that the recoliection of the events of the early days of their lives e most dearly cherished, but amongst all the mem which I shall carry to thegrave, none will > rior to those connected with that last act of my life which brought me here, and which has so successfully termi- nated. (Loud and long continued cheering.) When Lord Ashburton sat down he was loudly cheered, particularly by Major Jack Downing. Mr. Jay then gave Daniel Webster—Specially. representing the United States in the Treaty of Washington, he has nobly fulfilled the trust. _ The following letter was then read by some one, it is immaterial by whom. Wasuincron, Aug. 27, 1842. Gentlemen :— Thave the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th instant, inviting me to a public dinner,to be given in New York on the first of September to Lord Ashburton, in token of respect for his character and of congratulation upon the successiul termination of his Mission of Peace. Although it is my intention to go North within a few days, for the purpose of health and recreation, yet it will aot bein my power to leave this city in time to be in New York on the first of September. I pray you to believe me, gentlemen, that none enter- tains more cordial sentiments of respect than myself, to- wards the distinguished person who is to be your guest on the occasion. I have the honor to be, Respectfully, Your obedient servant, DANIEL WEBSTER. Mx. Evans, of Maine, then rose and said :—I regret, for many reasons, that our distinguished countryman, to whom you have puid the meed of approbation #0 richly merited, is not present to thank pe in his own expressive eloquence for the kindness you have here manifested, and for the gratification you have expressed in the result of a+ important negotiation in which he has so largely partici- pated. (Cheers.) As no other person is present who h: heen so near an observer of the progress of these negotia- ti as myself, aliow me to thank you in the name ot that statesman, for the favors you have bestowed upon bors, which have been so’ successfully terminated. ic situation which I so unworthily fill, has made me a near witness of the arduous and laborious duties of that great man, in bringing to a happy conclusion all subjects of difficulty between the two great nations. I restricted, Sir, from speaking minutely of the correspondence’ which preceded the termina- tion of this important negotiation. But I may add, without any breach of trust, that whenever the world shall be treated to a perusal of all the docu- ments connected with this matter, that no American will find a blush on his cheek when those important and able state papers which have emanated from that man’s pen, shall be read to the civilized nations on earth. (Loud cheers.) And sure I am, on the other hand, that there is no man in this land, who loves his country, who regards the duty which he owes to God and his fellow men, but will feel prouder of the land which gave him birth, at the manifestations of gigantic intellect, and noble patriotism which will then be seen in the documents to which I refe~. (Tremendous cheers.) You must be aware, sir, thal it was a most arduous labor to undergo—that it was no jlight matter to cope with the clear, discerning, saga- cious, experienced intellect of the distinguished nobleman. to whom, with a far seeing sagacity, the British govern- ment had confided the important ‘interests she had at stake. (Cheers.) But, sir, in addition to all else, the American Statesman hi Domestic ‘I'reaty to negotiate with some of our own states. (Cheers.) And although he was then occapying what was a new statien for hi yet the country had had before such proofs of his ous talent and patriotism, that they felt they cou! ou his honor and judgment ‘for the protection of our dearest rights, and the result has jus- tified their trust. (Cheers.) They did repose impli- cit confidence in the power and skill which he brought to bear on these important topics, and the whole country aj plauds him for the result. (Great cheering.) Weall al the prospects and blessings of a permanent peace, and con- sequently a prosperous and increased commerce. We all hail the removal of those vexatious causes, which might at any moment have precipitated two powerful natiens into a war—nations whose interests are so bound together— (cheers)—in every quarter of the globe—under every sky these two nations have interests in common. Cine How desirable then was it to remove the causes of quarre! —(loudcheers.) The meteor flag of England is not seen upon any sea where the American ins flout triumphantly by its side. (Cheers.) Her ocean war- riors cannot move in a part of the globe without meet- ing with the gallant defenders of our own ftag (youn; though our navy is,) who are as renowned fortheir years, and as ready to bare their bosoms in defence of the honor and liberties of their country, as the brave defenders of any other land. (Tremendous rt With two such nations, then, how desirable is it, that every source of difficulty, should be removed without delay—never never, toreturn! (Loud cheers.) Thesetwo nations should move on,advancing in literature, in science,in agri- cuiture, in the arts,in all the peaceful and god-like occupa. tionsthat benefit the human race,and make them more near- ly approximate the nature of their Divine Creator, until the remotest period of time. (Loud cheers) In these things only should they go on conquering and to conquer.— (Cheers.) For have we not a common interest? (Cheers.) Are we not acommon family? (Loud cheers.) And wher- ever the English language is spoken, take my werd for it, the American ianguage is spoken also. (Loud cheers and laughter.) Our distinguished fellow citizen, whom it is your pleasure to remember on this occasion,has borne up nobly the honors _ have confided to him im his arduous task. And he feels as proud of the burden, as you do of the glorious manner in which he has sustained it. (‘Tre- mendous cheers.) But {have done. This is an occasion for us all to congratulate ourselves through all time, inas- much as the peace of two great nations vas been main- taised, compatible with the honor and the integrity of cach. (Great cheers.)

(Cheers) Al- low me, therefore, without farther preface, to conclude by offvring you a sentiment, which I hope will meet with your approbation, I give you, * The Merchants of New York.” (Loud cheers.) ‘The remainder of the proceedings of the evening we do not give, for the sufficient reason that the committee and stewards treated the representatives of the newspapers who were present with such gross indignity, that the reporters rose at this stage of the Proceeditass and left the room in a body. The following toasts were printed, to be given in the course of the evening. Common Sense—The Diplomacy of the Nine teenth Century. England and America— beget a more active friendship. France and her Illustrious Nionarch—We sympa- thise with both in their recent bereavement. The Army and Navy of the United States.

Agreatdeal of rain has fallen here during the weel id if the same at Hongkong, we fear it will have caused a temporary interruption to the build- ing, which it is now, we are told, carried on with great mits both by Europeans and Chinese. We learn that the fame of the new freeport ia fast spreading over the Eastcoast, and from a gentleman lately returned from thence we hear that several Fo- kien merchants had toid him that they intended vis- iting Hongkong with cargoes of Tea. There is a report brought by a vessel lately arri- ved from Amoy, that accounts had been received there of the destruction of Ningpoo_previous to its evacuation by the British forces. is report re- quires, however, confirmation. The Chinese seem at length to have achieved a great improvement in naval architecture. Two fri- gates have lately been launched, and are now at anchor near Howgqua’s folly. These vessels are built after European models, and are said to look well enough, with the exception of theirstern,which does not look shipshape te nautical eyes. They have two decks, and are pierced for 9 guns of a side, and carry irou 18 and 32 pounder carronads on the main and brass guns on the upper deck, Below the guns holes are pierced through the sides for 60 sweeps aside, no that each vessel may be impelled by 110 rowers. ‘The fortifications on the river between Canton and Whampoa are, apparantly, completed, and the au- thorities are now arming them; the troops are con- stantly engaged in practicing both with large and small arms. No fortifications are building below Whampoa.

City Intelligence, First Arrest unpeR THE New Treaty.—A man named Nathan McKingey, who arrived in this city yesterday from Scotland, was arrested by officer Sweet, and safely lodged in prison, assoon as he could be landed on terra firma. He is charged with obtaining upwards of $1,000 worth of merchandise , consisting of silver watches, gold chains, paints, &c from Charles Brison and Thomas Lowrie, of Scot- land, under false pretences, and shipping himself and goods to this country in the first veasel. Under the new treaty, he will be delivered up, as it provides especially for the return of all such violaters of the law. Henry A. Harrorr aGain.—This man, charged with almost innumerable cases of swindling and fraud, was yesterday brought before the Recorder for the purpose of being bailed out. An examina- tion caused him to demand security in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance ; and while there, another charge was preferred against him of similar charae- ter; and to cap the climax, before he left the office, a deputy sheriff stepped in with a writ which was served upon him. The respectable gentleman whose name was presented as security, should look well before he leaps. Harrott was remanded to prison, and will not be released by the Recorder, unless good and responsible security is offered in both cases Tre Reoatra at NEWBURGH will be given in full to-morrow. Qurre a Havt.—As Mr. W. H. Huyson, clerk in the employ of . Nesmith & Co, of this city was ascending the steps of the City Bank on Wed- nesday evening he felt somebody make a snatch at a bank book in his hand, and turning round saw a fellow taking hee with locomotive speed. On examining the book he found that two notes of 1000 dollars each had been abstracted, and afterwards learned that one of them was chang- ed at the Fulton Bank and the other at the Butchers’ and Drovers’, in less than half an hour af- terwards. We did not hear whether he gave chace after the thief or not. These notes were also offer- edatthe North River Bank and refused. A re- ward of f rad is offered for the apprehension of the thief and recovery of the money.

Congress has finally adjourned, This “irksome and inglorious session” has finally come to an end. The adjournment took place at two o'clock, the hour prescribed, with as much order and decorum, and more good nature, than usually characterizes the termination of a protracted session. The Senate was engaged most of the morning in executive session. Mr. Clinton, who was re-nomi- nated as Collector of Buffalo, was rejected, and Mr. Lathrop nominated in his place and confirmed. In the House, Mr. Wisk moved to amend the journal, go as to insert the ‘ Protest” of the Presi- dent; but the motion was med to be out of order There was great difficulty about obtaining a quo- rum, and a vast deal of noise and confusion, but 127 members finally answered to their names. The post route bill was passed, the amendment of the Senate being concurred in. The resolutions reapect- ing Colt’s submarine battery were passed. The for- tification bill, the bill authorising a depot for charts, We., for the navy; the bill fixing the compensation of engineers in the navy; the bill fixing the rank of Professors in the navy; the bill authorising a draw- back on goods exported in the original packages, between Santa Fe and Chihuabar, all were passed. The last bill was returned from the Senate amended, and laid on the table. | z One of the most sensible, practical, and valuable eches of the session was that delivered in ihe House penterday By, Mr. T. B. King,on the bill for re- organizing the Navy Department. He took a large and liberal view of the necessities and usefulness of the Navy, dwelt with much eloquence and force upon the wasteful expenditures that had character- ised the administration of the department ae preceding years, and pointed out the mode by whic! this might be avoided hereafter. Although so near the close of the seasion, the speeeh was exceedingly well received, and produced much effect. Noman in Congress has paid more attention to the yoia than Mr, King, and no man is better acquainted wit its condition and wants. He would have been placed at the head of the department by General Harri- son, but for the malign influence of a few profess- ed friends; and but for political considerations, it is paces that the same post would have been tendered m onthe formation of the Oabinet nearly a year since. Mr. King came into Congress young, but with a high reputation in the State of Georgia. A sound mind, and habits of industry and patient re- search, have made him one of the most useful mem- bers of the House. His services have been most important, both inthe Naval Committee and in the House, and it is owing, in no small degree, to his exertions, that all the important naval bills have been carried bees ark through. Mr. Wise, as chairman of the Naval Committee, has been very efficient, but his politieal relations have precluded him from the exercise of his just and proper influ- ence, Baltimore, {Correspondence of the Herald.) Baxtimorg, Sept. 1, 1812. Grand Serenade. Mx. Eprror :— On Tuesday night last one of the most imposing serenades, probably ever heard within the thirteen original States, including some of the territories, a portion of Kamskatka, the Gulf of Mexico, the coast of Africa, the islands of the Pacific, and Mi- neral Point, out west, not excepted, was given in this city of monuments and pretty girls, by a cele- brated musical corps, distinguished for their “Cat- tail Band.” As with the army of Xerxes, the band was followed by numerous specta‘ors, eager tocatch each note as it fell in sweet cadence upon the listen- ing ear. The azure dome of heaven was spangled with ten millions of stars, and the pale queen of night rolled up the blue vault, skedding her mellow tight on dome, and spire, and columa, and lamp- post, as the party went forth amid the first born of melting melody, to sooth, by harmonious blendings, the midnight slumbers of angel woman. Paginini in his palmiest days, had he been present, would have shrunk bi astonished and overwhelmed. Hayden’s creation was no touch to many of the pieces performed. Ifthe coming forth of inaiter from chaos, and the moulding of it into tangible torm could by any means have a free representation in the blending of sounds, surely he had it on that ocea- sion. Calvert street from Barnum’s, in its terminus at the basin, was made to seem as an enchanted ave- nue. The heads of numerous fair ones—that posi tion so appropriately called “the home of thought and palace of the soul,” were, protruded from each lattice, covered with flowing ringlets or snow white night caps, all eager to hear and enjoy the harmo- nieus blendings that ascended from the instruments of the Cat Tail band. To be awakened from sweet slumbers, wherever a midnight’s gloom, the heart, and the shrine, wherever it beats, are lit up by the sunlight of love, with such melting strains of melo- dious harmony, is a pleasure beyond description. It can only be as the sweet transition from perfec- tion in thie life to the full bloom of immortal youth oth yi Congress is at last ad ny is now over.
