New York, Wednesday, J) ‘The Reception of Captain Fyler, The extraordinary reception of Captain Tyler by the people ot New York—the numbers—the charac- ter—and the aceompanimentsof this reception, have astounded and puzzled every body, and perhaps none more so than the Captain himself—his Cabine ¢ and his body-guard per se. Here isa President without aparty, yet received in New York by the masses of both parties, with a tremendous quantity gentlemanly respect, that puzzles philoso- poy and makes the politicians stand still in amazé- ment ‘The foundation of thissingular and sensible move- nt towards an amiable—not a great—chief ma- gistrate, may be found in the good feelings aud good sense of the people—the mutual instincts of the masses—set in motion by the shrewd managers of the “demoeracie,” who knew very well what they were about. This ‘democracie” has managed to e the reception out of the bands ot the Tyler men per se, and to create an impression on the miuds of the President and his Cabinet, that will be equal te an entire revolution among the off olders here, in less than six months. Red- wood Fisher once talked a great deal to Mr. Wick- litle of his committee, with Major Noah at its head and Joe Sinith at its tail, “who lived among the ses, ang who moved the masses.” That was gious fanfaronade. Captain Tyler and his able et have seen, felt, shaken hands, drank out of e same cup, and almost slept in the same bed w.th reel movers of the masses of the ‘‘ democracie” in New York. Atter having inspected the Croton Aqueduct, and taken a lunch at Nowland’s on Prospect Hill, the Captain and his swite leave town on their pilgrimage to Bunker Hill, but they will never forget the New York reception—its purposes and meaning—and the men who set it all in motion. The results we will know in less than six months. Candidates for office will please to get their papers ready—‘‘ All those what havn't paid dere passanges will step up to the Captain’s office and settle—deng-dong, deng-dong, deng-dong.” the Tux Barrie or Bunker Hitt.—It is said that Mr. Bennett, of the New York Herald, will be pro- secuted for transferring to his columns the book of Mr. Ellis, on the subject of the battle,the copy- rigut of which is secured to Mr. C. P. Emmons, the publisher.—Boston Paper. ‘This is very funny. The extracts (not the “book”) we published were taken from the brochure, sent ue by the publishers for the purpose of noticing. That publication has done, and will de imore to sell the book thanallthe other pufls and advertisements they have published and paid for. As Paul Pry says—* I'll never do a good-natured thing again during my whole life.” The fuss also made ip the Boston papers, will increase the notoriety of the brochure, which is just wanted before the Bunker Hill celebration, and thus also tend to increase the sales. We consider our original notice and extracts, with the engraving we gave, worth at least $500 to the publishers—but in consequence of the scarcity of shad, we will take $251, which they will please to send us by the first chance—segars included. The Rey. Mr, Ellis will also be celebrated in this busi- ness, and will also become our debtor for twenty prayers and forty benedictions. We may let him off for that~but not a breath less. Larer Foreiax News.—The steamship Britan- nia,from Liverpool tor Boston, has been outten days this morning. She will bring sixteen days Jater news, which must be highly interesting, in conse- quence of the important subjects in agitation when the last steamer left. The overland mail from In- dia will have arrived. Tue Great Mass Rergat Meetine takes place thisevening in the Park. Hour, half past six o’clock. Ithe Irishmen in New York will be there.

Itis very obstinate, and requires prompt, rigid treatment to drive it away. The late sudden changes of the weather is very unfavorable to those that have it, and dangerous to those that have not had it. Ladies and children going out to ride in our warmest days, should fellow the English custom of taking with them warm clothing to be ready tor the least change. Bowser Hitt Pitcrims trom this city, had better jook eatnow for comfortable quariets there. One of the best resting places is Stevens’ Exchange Hotel, which is part of that magnificent building, the Merchants’ Exchange, State street. The ac- commodations are unequalled—the host and hos- tess the pink of perfection—the cook a lineal de- scendaat of Ude—and the bedding fresh, inviting, end irreproachable in every respect. Itis the very spot for a pilgrim to rest his wearied limbs, and enjoy for @ seagon the good things of this world. Ryan’s “Stackpole House” is sufficiently known to fame lately made some remarkable discoveries in the world of spirits. He has made arrangements for ac- commodatiog a large number of pilgrims. The “* Tremont House” is of course all in readiness. Cozzen’s American Horet —The late additions alterations, and extensive improvements have now been finished, and the establishment new furnished throughout. His marble floors, royal wilton carpets, broad side mirrors, &e., &c., give one an idea of re- gal splendor and magnificence. We cannot at pre- sent enter minutely into a description of the rooms, | but shall do it at no distant day. Fort Hamuuton.—Thus is indeed a truly delight- ful spot. Mr. Curtis has his establishment in capi- tal order. Ne matter how warm the weather may be, you can always enjoy a cool, refreshing breeze upon the wide extended piazza that surrounds the hotel. It is a beautiful place of resort,either upon a temporary excursion, or for a summer residence. Fisuinc Excursions —These pleasant and healthy excursions, we are happy to learn, are about to be resumed for the season, a3 may be seen by an al- ment in another column. The steamboat Su- perior, Captain Gould, is first in the field, and will muke her first trip to the Fishing Banks to-mor- row \rpio’s.—Last night the President ot the United tes, hus suite and Mayor Morris visited Niblo’s. ie best opera by Auber, Le Domino Noir, is to be ven thisevening for the last time—the Prima Don- Mademoiselle Calvé, appearing as the Black Do- nano, Jaesille Ca petite Argondise) and the Abbess, in ell of which she sings her music,admirably adapt- Auber has im this opera given us a pleasing variety—the music of the ball room—the 1efresh- iment room—and last, the solemn music of the Con- vent (ia which Prevost acecmpanies the P ima Denna on one of Jardine’s grand organs) is all, char- acteristie of the time, place, and persons.

Then sinking in the ample, luxurious, couch-like ehair, which the kindness ot hishosts had provided, he pulled on his boots and pantaloous, which his Excellency wears without straps. He then touched a spring attached to a magnificent wash-stand, and out gushed a spark- ling stream of pure, cold Croton water, Having thus filled a basin— made for obvious reasons, much deeper thanthose used by ordinary men—his Ex- cellency dipped his face and nose in it, and felt re- freshed. With “ A new Barcelona tied roud his nate ne a vest of a very modest pattern—plain dress coat, anda hat, a little the worse for the wear, his Excel- lency having completed bis simple toilet, gently stole out of his bed chamber. The very firet pev on he met was BIDDY, THE CHAMBERMAID. who makes his bed, and a very pretty, plump, resy- cheeked girl sheis. The President graciously wink- ed at Biddy, and as he was in a pleasant humor, chucked her under the chin. Biddy blushed, curt- sied very low, and exclaimed, as the Captain dis- appeared— “ God bless your Honor—I dunna care what they say, you’re-a jewel! of a man!” The Captain thea got out by the private entrance on Maiden lane, and quietly walked round to Jem Grant’s—the State Barber and Pertumer. It wasa fixe study for a paiater, that shavingsecne! The easy, practised grace with which Jem seized with his leftindex and thumb that nose, whilst with the right he gnided on its rapid, gliding, wavy motions, a razor with edge invisible to mortal eyes, could have been described only bythe pencil of a Hogarth. In the simple act of applying the saponaceous com pound, vulgarly called ‘*lather,” there was more of “the poetry of motion” than in the toes of half-a- dozen ballet-girls. Who but Jem Grant should be allowed to tweak the President’s nose, ana give to hischin the desired smoothness ? Who like Jem can so nicely skim the expanded chops of an apo- pleetic alderman? Woo like him can so adroitly cian? Wholike him can dig with suchmarvellous minuteness into the recesses of a deeply pock-pitted countenance ? “Am I shaved ?” exclaimed his Excellency in amazement, as the gentle operation was cone|uded. “ Yes, your Excellency,” replied Jem, with a low bow, and one of his blandest smiles. “* And now shall I have the honor of shampooing your Excellency’s head ?” asked the Grant. His Excellency signified his acquiescence, and the State Perfumer immediately commenced the process. The effect was remarkable. It was the celebrated ‘‘ Magnolia Wash,” prepared expressly for the heads of the “ young democracie,” which was used, and so powerlully mesmeric wasit in the present instance, that the Captain was in thirty-five seconds cast into the magnetic state, and was seized with an extraordinary disposition to be loquacious. But the State secrets thus revealed—the aspirations —the promises—the important revelations made on this occasion cannot now be given to the world. Unlike other ‘State Barbers,” the Hon. James Grant has the virtues of diseretion and fidelity, and what is better, he knows how to prac- tice them, Jem is as silentas a mummy. Time, however, is the great revealer, and may soon tell what honest Jim will sot. After leaving Mr. Grant’s elegant saloon, the Cap- tain strode back to Howard’s. His step was more elastic than ever, and he looked up like a man— “wulius ad sidera.” What a pleasant smile illu- mined the features of “honest John Tyler!” The smile, however, was very evanescent, for just as his Excellency turned the corner of John street, he met A DISAPPOINTED OF FICE-SEEKER. he heart of the Captain was moved, and as the tim” seized on his button, and with asbrill voice detailed the story of his p.tient endurance, a large tear coursed down the furrowed cheek of the President of the United States, It isafact. And who could be unmoved at sight ofgsuch‘a'spectacle vi glide round the sharp angles of a lank-jawed politi- | ed? The Captain was about to whisper hope in the ear of the “victim,” when as ill-fortune would have it ‘srr i Mh) my i ut 7 in ANY —V {it ONE OF THE CODFISH ARISTOCRACY who call “ honest John” a traitor, brushed past, al most driving his Excellency and the “ victim’ into the gutter. The Captain walked off indignantly, and the “victim” hurried to the “ Pewter Mug,” and forgot his sorrows over a pint of Major Joe’s brown stout. By the time the Captain got back to Howard’s,the office-seekers and office holders had mustered in strong force inthe lobbies. It was thought that he had not yet left his bed-room, and many an anxious look was turned towards the door of that apartment. One determined hanger-on thrust his hands into his breeches-pocket, leaned his shoulders resolutely a- gainst the wall, and thus stood u WAITING FOR A CHANCE. His Excellency, however, slipped in unobserved, and after receiving the morning salutations ef the “guard,” and gallantly paying his devotrs to the la- dies, who looked as smiling and charming as possi- ble, he stepped to the breakfast room, where, we are happy to report, he ate a very reasonable share of the good things provided by Mrs. Howard. The President and suite left Howard’s Hotel in some eight, or ten carriages provided by the Cor poration. ‘These were driven down to the Castle Garden, where the whole party embarked in the boats belonging to the Independence and North Ca- roliaa. There wes not a great crowd present, but the morning was fine, the spectators pleased, and all seemed in high spirits. On reaching the Independence, the flag ship of Commodore Stewart, a salute of 21 guns was fired. The whole party were then shown over the ship, took a glass of wine, and re-embarked in the boats togo on board the North Carolina. On leaving the Independence, a salute of 13 guns were fired. On reaching the North Caroling21 guns wes fired ; the same ceremony was gone through with that took ce on board the other ship; more wine was drunk and the party left the ship for Brooklyn under a sa- lute of 21 guus. The landing at Brooklyn was attended with no- thing remarkable ; ui¢ Common Council bebaved in the most shabby manner. There were only. three companies of Infantry present to receive the Presi- dent, besides the splendid company of City Guards, who went from New York to escort the President. These were the Light Guard of Brooklyn, Captain Pearson, the Nassau Guards, Captain Sprague, and the Union Guard under Lieut. Smith. These all looked and drilled remarkably well —There were also two troops of artillery from Gen. Storms’s brigade, who were very rudely treated throughout. But the great feature of the day was the City Guard under Capt. James Mason. They looked supesb, and paraded inimitably. On reaching Prooklyn, there was a great deal of confusion end noise; and after much trouble, the President and two other gentlemen got into @ car- riage. The Mayor of Brooklyn said a few words, and the President replied; but the noise was so great that nothing was heard ten teet irom them; the cor- tege moved off in this manner:— CARRIAGE Containing the President, Mayor of Brooklyn, and May- or of New York. Carriage containing the Cabinet. ‘Twenty carriages containing all sorts of people whom scarcely anybody knew. These were driven all about the city and into nu- merous places where no one on foot would follow them. The beautiful company of City Guards, marched down to the Navy Yard, and stacked their arms, and here crowds followed in expectation of that being the great theatre of operations forthe day. Following the carriages, were the military; then the various Irish Benevolent Societies, numbering about three hundred, and about one hucdred carmen mouvted. A few cheers were raised for the President on his landing, but there was little or no mark of enthusiasm evinced throughout his reute round theeity It was worthy of remark that on going up Fulton street, the Presi- dent bowed invariably to the left side of the street, searcely noticing the right side, alhough all the most beautital women were on that side—an in. stance of ungallant conduct, very unusual for Virgi- nians ot the old school. Tue Navy Yau The great centre of attraction, after all, was the Navy Yard. Here all the loveliest women in the neighborhood were congregated. A platform was raised in front of the Naval Lyceum, carpeted and oraamented with wreaths and testoons in the most beautiful style. On this stage were assembled abowt thirty of the most charming ladies the State contains, On the long inclined plane Jeading from the upper part of the large ship house, there were seated about 100 young ladies,and as the men, with curious eyes gazed up the platiorm, they pre- sented a picturesque, yet any thing but a graceful or modest appearance. The Yard was in fine order. Indeed, under Capt. Sands’s admirable management, it never wag in any other condition. All the marines were at their posts, and ina high state of discipline, under Capt. Engliss, Capt. Douglass, Lt. Brady, Lt. Long, aa Lts. Young and Waldron. On the platform with the ladies were Commodore Jones, Captain Hudson, Capt. Newman, Capt. Carpenter, Capt. De Hart, and Lieut..Morris. The latter is such a noble, glo- rious looking fellow, that the tars in the crowd all declared that a man who could enjoy a laugh like him ought to be a captain. He had on hisarm the most beautiful woman in Brooklyn, by long odds— she was dressed in black. The balcony was crowd- ed with lovely young girls, and so was the yard, in every port of it. And the scene was equal to any- thing seen in New York the day before. y After a great deal of delay, caused by the stupid- ity and bad management of the Brooklyn Marshals, not ons of whom was fit for his place, the music an- nounced the arrival of the President. He was driven down to the front of the Naval Lyceum, where he alighted, and where Capt. Sands received him with round upon the crowd for a few minutes, Capt. Sands said—"“Mr. President, you never were ‘in Brooklyn before, I believe.” Mr. Tyler replied, ‘‘N, sir, I was once in New York ior about a hour, but never in Brooklyn.” Carr. Savps then spoke as follows: — Mx Paresivenr :~ Then, sir, in the nameof the Navy, and a large and respectable boy of mechanics and worl men, ovr fellow citizens, allow me to bid you welcome to this Naval Depot in the stand on ground, I may emphatically and truly, on ground sacred to patriotism—on ground where lie the mouldering remains of thousands of our countrymen, vhose lives were sacrificed on the altarof patriotism— here, sir, were the moorings ol thy Jersey Prison Sh here, sir, are the bones of those who died on board of her -as 'yet without a monument.

The Pars:pent replied—The naval deeds of the heroes of the revolution are among the proudest trophies of the country ; the recollection of the battle between the Bon Homme Richard, and the Serapis, will be imperishable, so long as this glorious Union exists; and in connexion therewith, the name of John Pant Jones, will survive the wreck of ages. (Cheers). And so will the other grest a ofour revolutionary naval warfare. Aud so will the deeds of those other naval heroes who shone so brilliantly inthe last war. Ihave been with two of those gallavt heroes today, sir, who caused the star spangled banner to floatia triumph on every sea—the gallant Stewart ar the gallant Jones. (Three tremendous cheers.) ‘There are other names, sir, which time will not allow me to mention,among whom thatof the glorious Decatur stands out in bright relies They form a glorious phalanx—they have made our name respected throighout the world. Let that Navy then, sir, go forth upon the waves of the great deep ; let it battle with the enemies of our country for the honor of that country. Let it be greeted with a hout of victory—for it Will mect nothing but victory; nd Jet the example of the illustrious heroes of the past incite us to emulate their noble, pure and patriotic exam- ple. I agree with you, sir, that the sufferings of our an cestors should teach us to endure, endure, endure ; and so long as we are true to them, we can continue to endure totheend. Sir, I receive your hearty welcome with thanks, and with the same cordiality with which it is tendered. (Cheers.) The President was then taken to the Commo- dore’s house, where Capt. Sands and the charming ladies of the establishment had prepared a most mag- nificent collation. In the balcony of this house, the President exclaimed, “Stop,I have a small duty to perform here,” and rouné he went to shake hands with the beautiful women there. s ‘After this he and his swite and the Mayors of both cities, Robert C. Wetmore, lsq., and several other distinguished civil and naval men, set down to the collation, Captain Sands was in the chair, and filled his office most admirably. The President, the Cabi- net, and the Mayors and Corporatiens did eat ike goed fellows. They were annoyed by few loafers who thrust themselves in, but this was the fault of the Marsuals, who were more in- tent upon eating and drinking than their duty. Capt. » cheers. The President gave the Army and Navy— 9more. Then alithe present and absent members were drank; and the Mayor ot New York.

Then they were es- corted to the Ferry by the Nassau and Brooklyn Light Guard. The City Guard this day was the best drilled, best dressed, most splendid looking bo- dy of soldiers that the city contains. They were edmired by all who saw them. We must not forget to state due to Lieut, Brady and Lieut. g, for the hand- some manner inwhich they officiated throughout the day, and the courtesy and efficiency with which they administered to the wants and comforts of the ladies, the soldiers and their fellow citizens. Spee- dy promotion attend them. The party proceeded to the wharfabout 3 o'clock, gallantly escorted by Captain Sands, and other of- ficers. Indeed, the attention and politeness of Cap- tain Sands, Com’r Hudson, and other officers, were the theme of universal admiration The sun during the early part of the day,had been obscured by clouds, but he now shone out brilliantly, adding greatly to the splendor of that gay scene. The government barges formed into double line, and presented a very beautiful appearance. As they were rowed rapidly down the river, salutes were fired from Brooklyn Heights. The boats soon reached Castle Garden, and the party landed. The Battery was crowded with spectators, but thefe was no cheering. The Captain and suite then took their carriages and drove to the City Hall, where his Excelleney re- ceived the greetings ol anumber of the citizens. His Exellency then returned to his quarters—ate a capital dinner—quaffed a few glasses of champagne —chatted quietly for an hour with the “guard,” and then took his carriage and drove to Niblo’s. He was escorted by the Mayor, the Hon. Jolin _C. Spencer, Wickliffe, Porter, Cuptain Gregory, King Caucus Hatfield, Elijah Purdy, and several other members of the Common Council The author of ‘* Ahasue- rus” was also among the party When his Excel- leney entered the garden a brilliant display of fire- works took place. When the party entered the saloon there was a dead pause, Some evil-minded person in the pit began to hiss, but that was speedily drowned in a loud cheer. ‘The vandeville was ‘The Thumpin Legacy,” and the inimitable acting of Burton an the charming Miss Reynolds was much applauded by the distinguished visitors After the performance, the Cap'ain and his party took a private drink with Mr. Niblo, and then posted back to Howard’s,in tite, best possible humor. : ‘The Captain, quite exhausted, soon retired to bed. end then the waiters were summoned to attend” that great praise is 7 CHE G ‘Tne lesuvities Were Kept up lillan early nour, and our reporter left just asa disttaguised member ol the party had got up ‘on a chair, and was ab outjtofpro- pose the health of the ladies, and ' S{THE PRESIDENT’S N Mr. Brynett— The respectable and pieus portion of our citizen especially such as hold office uader the administra- tion, together with those who are making strenuous exertions to get office of any kind, have been latter- ly more than a little shocked and mortified on ac- count of the levity of your language, or rather the language of your Jolin Joues towards Mr. Robert Tyler There is not in the whole compass ot this mighty land, a nicer young manfor a small pariy, ‘han this same ‘Captain Bob.” And he has some litle claim upon your forbearance and gratitude, tor the writer of this letter has heard him eloquent- ly defend the editor of the Herald ina considerable of a crowd, when not another voice was raised ex- cept to defamed him and his paper.

Tue New Paaanint.—Wallace’s Concert, last night, was crowded to the door.

E. Horne For Enauanp, Ho!—The steamship Acadia, Captain Ryrie, sails from Boston for Liverpool on Friday the 16th instant. Her letter bags close in this city the afternoon of Thursday the 15th. Laver From Texis.—By an arrival at New Or- leans, we have received our files of Texas papers. The news is not of much importance. We make the following extracts from the leadiog papers:— ‘The report is current in town, Col. James Morgan has been notified by the War Department that his services, as Naval Commissioner are dispensed with. If itis true, we presume that the President must have directed it with many regrets, as we know that he is a devoted personal friend of Col. Morgan’s, and in directing the performance of this duty he must have been governed alone by a sense of official obligation. When he was appointed, we know that not only the President but the Head of the Depart- ment entertained the fullest confidence that he would carry out the provisions of the law, whatever might be its requirements We feel perfectly satisfied that if it 18 true that Col. Morgan has been removed, the Preside: has conclusive evidence that he has either violated or disregarded his instruction.— Brazos Farmer—(Houston's official paper.) Capt. Cox, the bearer of the Jate dispatches from Com- modore Moore and Col. Morgan, left for Campeachy on Sunday, taking with him F. Pinckard, Esq. late editor of the Times, and a number of young men, who go down to take a partin the exciting scenes now rife on the coast of Yucatan --Galveston Civilian, 1st inst. In the District Court for this county, on Monday last, Indge Morris decided, mn the case of Hi. H. Williams & Co. vs. Gai) Borden, late collector of this port, that the law of July last, requiring collectors of import duties to receive Exchequer bulls only at their market value was constitu- tional and valid, so far as relates to such bills issued since passage, the law itself being a part of the understand: ‘and contrast under which this paper is taken from tho government. No opinion was delivered relative to bills issued prior to the passage of the Inw. In the case of the Republic vs. N. I. Maynard, the Treasury Cire re- iring Exchequers to be taken at their market value for 1, These decisions put two hough we pre- Court, which Ia reference to the failure of Texas to negotiate a commercial tieaty with the United States, the Hous* ton Telegraph says:— “ We have noticed with regret that the general tone of the Exeentive journ d the Jetters of our Charge d’Af- fairs et Washington, indicate, that the Executive and his cabinet, are completely discouraged, aud have given up all hope of effecting an advantageeus treaty with the gov- ernment of the United States. ‘ere it not that the mat- ter is of too serious a character, we shonld really be exci- ted to merriment, by their whining and doleful complaints about the licentiousnees of the press, to which they tool- com | attribute the failure of the treaty concluded by Mr. Webster and Major Reily, and which was rejected by the Se the United States. If our politicians would ex- amine the history of the United States, they would find that the causes of the defeat of the treaty omginated not from any writing or acts of the editors or people of Texas; but from the injurious tendency of the treaty itself. Iu forming the treaty, our government sought to obtain ad- vantages and privileges which the gov erent of the Uni- ted States had never accorded to any other nation. Our ister also sought to obtain privileges for the citizens of , that the Senators of the United States had repeat- edly retused to grant to their own citizens.” 0@- MR.
