President Tyler’s Pilgrimage to Bunker ‘ Hui. ‘John Tyler, the President of the United States, arrives in town about two o'clock, on his pilgrimage to Bunker Hill. There will be a tremendous turn- out, in spite of the opposition of the Wall street j stockjobbers and ultra whigs. The President will be received with great hospitality by the ‘‘ demo cracie”—a full account of which in to-morrow’s paper, The Repeal Agitation and its Tendencies— The Reginning of a New Revolutionary Era. ‘The agitation in this city, during the last week, onthe subject offlrish Repeal, has already brought about a singularstate of things, and will yet produce a most remarkable train of events in various parts of the civilized world. This repeal movement has now been going on in various parts of this country for two or three years; and although at several points of the Union, particu- larly in some of the large cities, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, &c., some ‘marked degree ot excite- ment on the subject has been oceasionally manifest- ed during the last year, yet in this city the masses have remained comparatively indifferent to the sub- ject, until within the last week or two. very evident, that although no great movement has been made by the Irish and American population in ew York on the question of repeal, unul the last few days, yet that its advocates have been most ac- tively, though secretly at work for some time in en. deavoring to rouse the people up to their present state of excitement. This is clear enough; how that ex- citement is to be allayed unless the object soughtbe attained, is by no means clear. Now that this popular feeling has broken out, however, it has assumed a most singular form, and produced a remarkably strange state of things. Guying the tone to all the great popular movements of the day in this conatry, as New York city inva- riably does, end as from its great ceniral position it ever will do in this country, yet it has rarely, or never been the case that more than one or two meetings within a month have been held here, even upon the mest exciting subject; and equally rare that the subject i.as possessed sufficient force to break down the broad lines of party that characterize almost all our meetings. How'diflerent is this repeal movement. Instead of one meeting in one month, there have been six large meetings on as many consecutive nights, held inthe largest room in the city, which has heen crowded to overflowing upon each occasion. In- stead of raising the sum of $1000, as originally con- templated, not less than $1200 were contributed in three nights, and the money has kept literally pour- ing in upon the treasurer ever Since. Nor do these ineetings stop here. Several proprietors of the largest public places of amusement have vied with each other in tendering the use of their establishments, free of allcharge. Meetings are to be held nightly during the coming week. And a large iaass meeting in the open air is to be held on Wednesday next, at which twenty thousand persons at least will be present, and which will unquestionably be the largest and most exciting meeting that has ever been held in this city. Again—instead of the ex- citement at these meetings being confined to a par- ticular party, we see many of the leading and some of the most distinguished men of all political parties struggling to see who shall give the strongest support to the matter. Members of Congress, ex-Governors, Judges, Aldermen, office-holders, both under the general and city governments, lawyers, doctors, and indeed men of every grade, shade, class, and character in the city. English, Irish, Scotch, Ame ricans, French, Germans, &c. &c., are all equally mixed upinthe matter, and equally ardent in their desires and endeavors to aid Ireland in procuring a repeal of the union. Another important result follows in the train of this movement. The large body of Irish banded together by this common bond of repeal in all parts of the country, control so large a number of votes that no public man—no leading politician—no can- didate for the Presidency, either can or will oppose them without ensuring the destruction of all his public prospects. Hence we see the leading whigs and democrats so actively aiding the agitation, and the great mass of the whig and democratic pa- pers, all over the country, following in their wake. ‘The only opposition coming from a very few pa- persand men connected with stock-jopbing opera- tions and British commercial agencies, that are likely to suffer loss in the contest expected to arise shortly in Europe on this absorbing subject. This ll account also for the importance given to the re- pealers by the Common Council of is city in the sublic reception of President of the United ates to-day. They are (o turn out 8000 or 10,000 stror they are to have the post of honor in the procession, they are toform, as it were, the body guard of the President, and escort him through our noble cily. Of course the grand marshal of the repealer. ll be especially introdvced to the Pre dent; he wif congratulate our Chiet Wagistrate, aek for his sympathy, and pledge him the counte nance of the repeclers ina body. The President, asa matter of course, must, in his reply, say some- thiag kind, end complimentary, which will be con- uragement; Mr. Robert Tyler will then be recognized and thanked for his earnest la- strued inte bors in behalf of repeal, and the exciting ad- dress he has given at Washington, and the one he is about to give at Boston, denouncing the tyranny of Great Britain, and declaring that Ireland ought to be free aud independ- ent. Then the whole mass of devoted, honest, en- thusiastic repealers will, beyond a doubt, break out in three hearty cheers for “ the President of the United States and his son Robert, both Learty repealers”” Thus we have the singular spectacle of the President and the whole of his Cabinet re, ceiving these plaudits and general shouts from ten thousaod repealers, feeling tully conscious of their curjous situation, and yet so circumstanced as to be unable to make a move towards extrication without being more deeply involved. The same scene will be enacted at Boston by the repealers, upon the remarkable occasion of the President of the United States visiting the scene of a disastrous defeat to British power, on the anni- versary of the day whieh gave the death blow to British ascendancy in this country. The whole to conclude, for the time being, with a most ex- citing and eloquent harangue to the Bos ton repealers by the eldest son and private ind confidential Secretary of that President, telling them to stop at nothing that will enable them to se- parate for ever from England, and declare them- selves free and independent. For there is no use in disguising the matter. Repeal is the word used in all these agitations; but a total separation of the two countries, and an independent existence and a Tepublican form of government for Ireland, though purchased by bloodshed, is what every repealer in thiscountry desires and declares, and hopes to see brought about And how curiously all this will sound in the ears of the British Government, How will they be able to draw the line of distinction between the official and semi-official characters who do and-do not favor repeal. Will they not believe it to be a covert at- tempt of the leading republicans here to organize on this great central spot the materials for revolution- izing not only Ireland, but England, Scotland and France—and to send abroad the first engines for the total subversion of all the monarchies of Europe. New York is the great ceatre of all leading and Sal it is; vopular movements in this country, She gives the toue to every thing inthe land. And probably the day is not far distant when she will give the tone to all ihe great popular movements inEurope. In con- nection with this, we already see the measures taken by the repealers here for issuing exciting ad- dresses and appeals to the great mass of the people in England, Scotland and France; thus virtually call- ing on the English, Scotch and French republicans to organize and join with the republicans, repealers, &c., of this country in ene great and general effort for sweeping off all existing forms of government in Europe; the entering wedge to which is to be the so-called repeal of the union between England and Treland. Let this but begin in earnest, where is it to stop? Who supposes that the repealers will stop shert of a forcible attempt to obtain that which the British Go- vernment will never grant them without a resort to physical force, in the shape of an insurrection, a revolution, or civil wart Let this begin, and what ig to prevent the radicals and revolutienists of Eng- land and Scotland from rising to redress what they consider their manifold grievances? How long would it be before these movements would be imi- tated by the large and powerful revolutionary party in France? These countries once thus ina general blaze, what earthly power can prevent the flame {rom spreading over the vast continent of Europe, sweeping off thrones, principalities and all those po- tentates and powers that be who do not bend to the storm? The whole movement is fraught with events of vast magnitude, of which no one cansee, can calcu- late, even the probable result; butifa revolution is to break out within the next ten years in Europe, it is from this quarter that the first blow will be struck. Tue Presipent's Quarrers tN ‘rats Crry.—The arrangements at the Howard House for the recep- tion of his Excellency, were all completed on Sa- turday afternoon. They are on the most magnifi- cent scale. The rooms appropriated for the distin- guished guest are on the first floor, and their win- dows look out on Broadway. They consist of a receptionjroom—gentlemens;parlor—ladies’ parlor— and dining room. ‘The reception room is furnished in the most chaste and elegant manner. The furm- ture is plain, but rich, and all in good keeping. One of the walls is adorned by a large painting of the “Parting of Cenrad and Medora,” by Anelli. It really poasesses considerable merit, but we think an historical picture of a different and more appro- priate character might have occupied its place. The parlor adjoining the reception room is furnished in the Elizabethan style, andis one of the most mag- nificent apartments we have ever seen. The win- dow curtains—the carpeting—the decorations of the walls—the beautiful blue velvet of the sofas and couches—all harmonize admirably, and produce the most gorgeous effect. The ladies’ parlor is very magnificent. Its furni- ture is in the Egyptian style, and the centre table is one of the most unique and classic pieces of cabinet work ever manutactured in this city. The entrance to the dining room isfrom this parlor. The dining- roem has been decorated in the most beautiful and tasteful manner The bed-room of his Excellency has been fitted up with remarkable taste and at- tention to the minutest detail. Nothing that could tend to the comfort and luxurious repose of the oc- cupant has been omitted. The bed is an exceed- ingly elegant affair—mattrasses of the first quality— linen of irreproachable purity—and pillows of the softest down. Ambition itself could hardly help falling into a doze on such a couch. Throughout the whole suite of rooms the eviden- ces of a refined female taste were manifest. And such is the fact. To Mrs. Damel Howard the greatest credit is due for the part she has taken in effecting these arrangements. Indeed, all who have the pleasure of knowing this excellent lady, and have had an opportunity of judging of her un. wearied attention to the comfort of her guests, and the good order of the whole establishment, will not need to be told that her industry and taste are the chief agents in carrying out the admirable arrange- ments for thereception and accommodation of his Excellency, the President. Numerous little details might be enumerated, il- lustrative of the minute attention to the comfort of the honored guest. A private entrance from Maiden Lane is immediately adjacent to the reception room, by which the Captain can slip quietly out, without coming in contact with, or being ‘observed, by the crowd of office-seekers who will throng the lobbies. ‘The Croton water has also been introduced into the bed-room, and a large basin provided, in’which his Excellency can perform necessary ablution, after shaking the dirty paws of the crowds of office beg- gars. A number of decorations besides those adopted were at first proposed, but were afterwards set aside. Amongst these rejected ornaments, was a magnifi- cent full length transparency jof his Excellency—as large as life—which was designed by one of the committee, in order to enable the people to “see through” the Captain. But another and more sa- Fg us member objected to this, on the ground that now-a-days it was not expected that the people should wish to exercise such far-reaching observa. | len, or that politicians, even if the desire existed should gratify it; and another member, more saga: cious than all, settled the business by remarking, that as the politicians of the present day turned themselves about so “often, allowing the people to see them on all sides, there was no necessity for making any of them more transparent, Altogether, however, the Howards have done their part of the business in a very creditable style. We :nay add, that an extensive suite of rooms have been prepared for the accommodation of the mem- bers of the Cabinet and the personal lirien’'s of the President. The party will be apretty large one.— Sixteen ladies will be in it, it is said Rrrorting.—That highiy [respectably sheet—the “ New Orleans Courier,” thus accurately describes the report of Mr Webster’s Baltimore speech which appeared in the Fourierite organ: ~ Mn. Weusren’s Srexc —The wrath expressed by the Richmond Whig andthe New York Tribune, the silence ofthe New Orleans Bee, in relation tothe speech lately delivered vy Mr. Webster at the Baltimore dinner, iv an unequivocal proof of its merit. Therepert of it which has been most widely circulated in thi section of the Union, and most generally copied by the newspapers, is t which was taken from the New York Tribune. ‘It 11 of errors of statement and inaccuracies of language, 80 apparent and £0 gross, that they make the speech, as printed, eppear like burlesque of what suche man as Webster would utter on such an occasion and on such subjects. One of these errors, which must have struck every intelligent person on its perusal, is pointed out by @ correspondent of the Madisonian of the 23d ult. In many parts the speech is utterly unintelligible, through the involution of sentences and a sort of malaprop colloca- tion of words. t is plain that the reporter for the Tribune was incapable of comprehending the meaning of the speaker. The ‘Courier’ then refers to our report, and mentions the fact that Mr. Webster’s recommen- dation of it for publication was sufficient proof of its accuracy. But the poor Squashes have already been so satisfactorily handled about this business, that we had almost intended to refrain from pub- lishing this castigation from the “ Courier.” Still it may do the creatures some good. Rereat. Meerinc.—The Irish Repeal Associa tion of Newark, N. J., held a large meeting on Thursday evening. The receipts amounted to seventy-seven dollars. An adjourned meeting isto be held on the 22d inst, <rmrapsaeninepnaats A Bio Strixe.—The Montreal Herald says that three thousand laborers on the Beauharnois Canal, have struck for higher wages. There had been no rioting, and there were no prospects of any, They received fifty cents a day.

NN National Academy of Design. Ja the commencement of these criticiams, we ob- Jected to the great number of portraits exhibited, and also to the admission of pictures so positively bad as to be altogether unworthy of notice. We contended that the duty of the ‘hanging commit- tee” was to have made a judicious selection from the works submitted; and that, had it done so, an exhibition—less in extent, indeed, but far more cre- ditable to the state of art among us—would have been the result. We are sorry to find so excellent and influ. @ periodical as the “* Knickerbocker” advo- cating the unwise course pursued by the Acad- emy. A lamer piece of sophistry than that by which the writer endeavors to sustain his position we do not remember to have met with. He has been assured, he says, and by an artist, that those who object to the character of any of the pictures exhibited, are ignorant of the rules by which the Academy is governed; and he proceeds to inform us that the institution considers it expedient to receive all and everything that is offered. Now, that euch | may be the plan adopted, and the opinion entertain- ed by the administration, we will not dispute; but for the life of us we cannot divine how, trom this simple fact, the writer in the Knickerbocker could argue that it is improper in the public ‘to murmur.” We have a right to expect as good an exhibitior as we have the means among us to produce; and yet, if that expectation be unfulfilled, we must not com- plain, because, forsooth, the Academy has “made arule.” How any number of artists, men of taste, or men of sense, could have made such a rule, is, we we confess, tous inexplicable. In our view, it appears ineffably absure; and it has been reserved exclusively tor the Solons who control the National Academy of New York to. discover its utility; for certainly ne similar institution, either here or abroad, is thus governed. f. Knickerbocker, if 1t approves of such a doctrine, why iis columns are not thrown open to every sctib- ter who may feel ambitious of figuring there. As a leading periodical, it is, toa great extent, the exponent of our literature, as in the Academy ot Art, and each should be guided by the same prin- ciples; theretore, if Billy Marsh should send a poem tothe nickerbocker-—that periodical cou!d not con- sistently refuse to publish it. Nay, if he should send seven, (the number of pictures one Mr. Rousseau has inflicted upon the Academy,) place should be tound for them all. But the absurdity of this idea is too gross, even for ridicule—and_ we repeat, we regret, and are amazed to find the Knickerbocker counte- nancing it Seriously, and in all good feeling, we assure the government of the Academy, that in car- tying out such a doctrine it is pursuing a course fatal to the best interests of the art which it is its duty to protect—a course of injustice, we may say of insult, to the public, which it should both instruct and please—and one in opposition to the received no tions of propriety in accademical management ail over the worid. We have endeavored, in vain, to discover a solitary feature of good in the scheme. Those whom a superficial thinker might suppose to be benefitted ie it, are really as much injured as other parties. It a young man, induced by an over- estimate of his own capacity, or the flattery of par- tial but illjudging friends, offers a miserable and senseless daub for public exhibition, it is most crue! to accept it, to become the butt and laughing-stock of all observers, Let it be returned to its author, and if he has ambition, and any degree of talent, after the first twinges of mortified vanity have sub- sided,he will seek to discover why his work was re- jected—he will be spurred to new exertions—he will be determined to convince his severe but just judges that he can do something worthy to be seen—and in future years the successful artist, perhaps, will date his firat advrnce in art from his rejected picture. If, on the other hand, he should be wey destitute of capacity, it would be doing him a kindness to in- duce him, by any (means, however mortifying, to abandon a profession from which he could reap nej- ther honor nor profit. What,do the gentlemen di- rectors of our Academy think of the opinion pore loudly and generally expressed among those who are qualified to know and judge, that the exhibition of “The Artists Fand Society” of Philadelphia is this year, as a whole, infinitely superior to ours? We are amongthe number who thinkso. Not that there are more good pictures than might be selected here, but it has the beauty of uniformity and tastefuy ar- rangement. With very much to delight, there is nothing to offend or disgust. The directors of that institution are not so liberal as to admit all that comes to hand—they are old-fashioned enough net to wizh their wallsto be disgraced by pitiful abor- tions, even if thereby a portion of those walls should remaia unoccupied. Our New York exhibition is like a garden, having much in it that 1s rare and beautitul, but so choked up with rubbish that he must be a persevering botanist indeed who can sepa- rate the flowers from the weeds. Well! for all this we have one satisfactory reason—it is ‘the rule of the Academy.” We are duly impressed with the dignity of the Academical body, and it would per- haps be more becoming on our part to take what is given tous quietly, ‘nor look the gift horse in the mouth”—but we have a stubborn quality of taste, which which will not be contented with inferiority when excellence is attainable—nor have we, albeit somewhat conservative, so firm a faith in the sancti- ty of ‘‘existing institutions,” as to believe they should possess an unquestioned patent for folly and absurdi- ty. We shall continue our notices of the pictures to- morrow. Liset Case.—On the case of Charles Alexander ys. Swain & Simmons, publishers of the Ledger, for a libel on the plaintiff, the Court sentenced each of the defendants to pay a fine of ten dollars and stand committed ti!l the same should be paid. Great ExcrTement among THE Barpers.—After the excitement among the Irish repealers, the next great movement in this city is among the barbers, relative to the shaving and dressing of Captain Ty- ler. The leaders in this exciting business are Jem Grant, Esquire, and several other barbers about tewn, who threaten to eat up Grant without pepper and salt, if he does not give itup We advise them to eat Grant by all means—if they can digest him afterwards, they may live hereafter on alligators. Tus New Enotanpexs —We understand that these gentlemen have chartered a steamboat to take them to Providence. This is a good arrange- ment, as it will keep the delegation together, and make the price within the means of many patriotic New England men, who would be otherwise de- prived of this opportunity of joining their fellow citi- zens in this great scene of national devotion, A meeting is called atthe Astor this evening. Let al! the true hearted sons of New England be there, wholly independent of party considerations. Nravo’s Garven.—Third might of Auber’s deligh'- fol opera, ‘ Le Domino Noir,” and last but two of Mile, Calvé’s engagement. Great preparations are making for the reception of the President. A grand gala and splendid fireworks will be given. From Havana —By the arrival of the packet ship Hellespont, Capt. Ellis, at this port, and the Howell at Charleston, we have received our files up to the 1st inst. The Island was never in better health. The French Opera Company were to leave in the first vessel direct for this port. The insurrection spoken of by a former arrival, had not taken place, but the English abolitionists were exciting and instigating the slaves to a re- volt. Emicrants ror Lizenia.—The bark Renown at Norfolk, soon sails for Liberia, with nearly a hun- dred emancipated slaves.

TuoxpeR Stomm.—We doubt, if within the recollection of the “‘old settlers” we have ever been visited by a more severe thunder storm than the one last evening. During je evening and the greater part ofthe night, the ured a perfect torrent almost without cessation. Much damage was done in and near thecity. A part of Pittsburgh street, at the western extremity of Huron streot, Was washed into the canal, carrying away the end ofanew brick tannery and filling up the canal soas to render it nearly impassable. The bridge and embank- menton the Golumbus turnpike at Walworth run in Brooklyn, were swept away ; and also the bridge upon the Kellogg road, and both roads are impassable. Mr. Kennedy’s woollen factory upon the Walworth run, yas much injured, and two dams on Walworth run destroyed. The effects of the storm on the Ohio Canal are confined tothe level at this place and the Pinery level13 miles south. There is a bar formed about halfamile {rom the city, and two breaks and severai slides upon the Pinery level. Mr. Hawkins, the superintendant, thinks the bar can be removed and the breaks repaired in the course of three or four days. Onthe Pennsylvania and Ohio canal the damage has been much more serious. We insert extracts from letters dated “Cambellsport, June oth.” “Aterrible calamity has visited Cambellsport. The water rose last se td from 11 to 1 o’clook, four feet higher than was ever befere known, and the Mahoning mado a clear breach across our warehouse level, demolishing the banks of the canalentirely and undermining Campbell & Miller’s werehouse, and destroying some thousand dot. lars of property, ‘The extent of the damage on the canal below, is as yet unkuewn, but it is immense.

For onr part, being a man of gallantry, we preferthe leay. ‘The manager has, by a very liberal offer, induced the Giant Girl to delay her de- parture to Boston till Wednesday, when she must inevita- biy loave. The attractions presented are very powerful— seven performers, including the Minstrels of the Rhine, and last, but not least, the Giant Girl, all to he seen for one shilling. That is surely pork « nough for one shilling. There will be repeated performances during the day and evening. BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. —_ a ns Clic image to Bunker HUl, [Corresponde: of Joh. Jmescf Now York ] Philadeiphia to Princeton. Princeton, N. J., } Saturday, June 10, 1843. Mr. Beynerr— My Dear Sir :— I hurried off a communication this afternoon, and hardly know what it contained. We left dinner very hastily and very unceremoniously—yet it is justice to say of Mr. Rea, of the United States Hotel, that he furnished the President and suite with magnificent accommodations and a splendid dinner—it is a superb hotel. Alter leaving the hotel,{the President fell under the charge of Captain Stockton, whom every body knows. Between Philadelphia, so many addresses and so many committees met and separated, &c., that it is totally impossible, at railroad speed, to keep up with them all. At Camden the ladies made quite a show—smiled sweetly, waved their white handkerchiefs, and looked very beautiful. The wea- ther was most oppressively hot. At Burlington there were the usual speeches on both sides —some cheer- ing—some firing—some flags. Dash on to Borden- town. More speeches on both sides—more cheer- ing—more flags, and more firing. Go ahead to Trenton. More speeches—more cheering—and more flags and firing. Next and lastly, to Princeton, where we all remain till Monday Here, in front of the college, there were more speeches, Wc We. Professor Dodd (ot Mathematics) gave the Presi- dent a very appropriate, indeed an excellent, patri- otic address, to which the President responded— assuring the people that he loved and sought peace, as also to administer the government on correct principles, irrespective ot all parties, which course he should persist in. He spoke as if he were not going ona political tour, but on a pilgrimage to the shyne, &c. of Buuker Hill. When he concluded, there wasa moment’s pause, and then Col. Graham be- gan to clap his hands, an example which was imita- ted by quite a number of persons. Then followed a few seconds’ pause, and some one cried out ‘three cheers for Professor Dodd!” and immediately the air resounded with thecheers. The President and suite, which has now got a very respectable tail to it, then proceeded to Capt. Stockton’s princely mansion for the night. On ar- riving there, Capt. Stockton called for three cheers for the President, which were given. _1 aminformed thatinno one of these towns and cities through which we have passed, has any ac- tion been taken by the respective governments, councils, corporations, or burgess’ meetings, what- ever they may be called, to appoint any commit- tees, or made any city preparations to receive the President. The committees are appointed by the citizeus in their meetings as citizens. Mr. Tyson, Mr. Wells, Col. Bradford, and many others have come on from Pkiladelphia—as also the same band of music. Tue Presivent at Carr. Srockron’s, Princeton. if Sunpay Mornina, June 11, 1843. The President and suite were received last even- ing by Capt. Stockton, on a most liberal and prince- ly scale. Captain Stockton is cata De destined to be the next President after Captain Tyler’s second election. Ten or fifteen hundred people called upen Captain nae last evening between the hours of 10 and 12 M., all of whom Captain Stockton treated to champagne, as much as they could drink—and didn’t some of them go it—the way the necks of bottles were knocked off was a caution to cork- screws, and peveclis astounded Captain Tyler, and particularly is Secretary John C. Spencer. Pro- bably no President has ever before received such an enthusiastic reception as the people of Princeton have given to Captain Tyler. If Captain Morris and Captain Purdy will just ‘station the President in the City Hall, New York—let the people pass in at the front entrance—shake hands with Captain Tyler— pass intothe tea room, and take champagne as they go out at the rear—then will New York stand a chance of beating Princeton—it not, not. All I have to say is, let Capt. Purdy fetch on his cham- pagne, and try it. This great and a patriouc country—Captain Tyler is a great President—and Captain Stockton is a great host. Magna est cham- page et prevalebit. ‘ Aa is morning the President visits the Episcopalian chureh—in the afternoon, the Presbyterian church. Joun Jones or New York. The President and ite at Church, {Correspondence of the Herald.) Princeton, June 11, 1843. The subject of the discourse was “ Meditation,” from Psalms 143, 5—‘(] Remember the days of old— I meditate on all thy works—I tnuse on the works of thy hands.” Meditation was recommended—closing the eyes, by withdrawing their vision from external objects, facilitates meditation ; and I was pleased to notice that the Hon. the Secretaries of the Treasury, of War, and of the Post Office, were in a very medi tative mood. ‘There were about one hundred peoplé in attendance to hear the Rev. Mr. Hare, of the Episcopal Church, preach to the President, his Cabinet, and Robert Tyler. . Things here are in a very curious, complicated, inexplicable condition. The Herald’s John Jones, who he is, where he is, and what he is, excites great curiosity and sport. Some of the green horns think they have found him out. The question was gravely discussed here as to who should sleep with Captain Tyler while at Captain Stockton’s—and it was unanimously decided that it should be John Jones of New York, if he could be found; but if not, then he was to sleep with Bob Horner, alias Robert E. Homer, editor of the Princeton Whig— a Quaker on occasion—leads the Clay whige in these diggins—influenced the College boys on the campus to hiss the President, if there should be an aitempt to cheer him, which accounts for Colo- nel Graham’s clapping his hands, and for the boys giving three cheers for Prof. Dodd. Captain Stock- ton, and James 8. Green, Esq , United States Dis- trict Attorney tor this State, control allthe Tylerism of this State. Mr. Wickliffe and lady stop at Mr. Green’s—their daughter at Joho R. Thompson’s ; the former consul to Canton—rtecenily had the office ot charge d’affairs at Portugal, which he declined— now Secretary of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, ot which Captain Stockion is President. Secretary Porter's baggage got into Bob ‘Tyler's wite’s room. She gother head hurt accidentaliy—had the head ache, and could notbe disturbed, aud the Just | saw ot Mr. Porter, he was trying to borrovy a clean shirt somewhere abouttown. | have no. yet ascertained where he is,but suppose he might have got one at ank’s hotel, as he was seen there at dinoer— Secretary Spencer’s baggage could not be found at al', norhas any clue been tound to yet it may not be amiss, however, to mention, that several o1 the President’s tail (not suite) lett hastily last night at 121n the retarn carsto Philadelphia. Then the polities here of the diflerent parties and persons, are geting most strangel confused, as well as the baggage and other matters. Mr. Tyler has taken the olive branch of peace in his hand—acts entirely upon the im medio tutissi mus ibis principle, declaring himself a thorough democrat. I am inclined to think that much of this confusion that now exists here arnong the President his suite, and his tail, including the baggage, and the Joneses, is owing to the complications of Dr Solomon Andrews, the ingenious inventor of the fa- mous combination lock. He is just the man to set anything in a state of complication. He is one of the Perth Amboy Committee, and in fact the mover of the whole matter of receiving the President at Amboy. He is altogether the greatest genius in New Jersey—always excepting Bobby Horner. He is aleo the manufacturer of all the mail locks for the vale States Government—in short, he 13 ‘‘one of them.” I forgot to saf that Dr. Thomas, the President’s thysician, accompanies the suite. ‘Dr. Kennedy, the celebrated U.S. mail agent, also accompanies the saite. He isalso a great thiet catcher—great travel- ler—a desperate bachelor, and dangerous among the ladies—and a great genius, He too may be set down as ‘“‘one of them,” if historical accounts can be trusted. ‘ We leave this borough to-morrow at? A. M., for New Brunswick, by a special train of care, where the President is to have a public reception. Thence by private carriages—a barouche and six white horses for the President—to be driven by Sanderson, the celebrated whip—on to Perth Am- hoy, where he wil be received publicly—Mr Bruin is the chairman of the committee there, of which Dr. Andrews is one—the President will be addressed by the Rev. John Halsey, principal of the Raritan Female Seminary. You know the rest. P.8.—1 Have just Oe n informed that Mr. See Porter is quartered With Mr. John R. Thompson, one of the Committee.
