The Great Celebration of the Birth-Day of Captain John Tyler—Unparalleled Dinner at the Shakspeare Hotcl—-Tremendous Gathering of the Tyler Forees—The Ins rashingtongDixon —George D. Strong—Count Tasistro and the Irish Repealers—Unavoidable Ab- sence of Mr. Curtis, the Collector—John ‘Tyler's Nomination at the Baltimore Con- vention Secured! «Yon must note beside, "That we have tried the utmost of our friends— Our egions are brimful—our cause is ripe.” P!Hen.—Bat tell mo, Jack, whose fellows are there that come after? “4 Mine, Hal, mine, ‘est.—Ay, but Sir John, mé thinks they are exceeding poor and bare ; too beggariy. Pat.—Faith, for their poverty, T know not where they had that ; and for their bareness, | am sure they never Jearned that of me, “The long agony is over.” The never-to-be forgotten celebration of the birth day of Captain John Tyler is now mutter of history. The origi- nal, grand, sagacious and energetic purposes of the “devoted, faithful, grateful friends” of the Presi- dent of the United States in the city of New York have been effected. The dinner at the Shakspeare Hotel, corner of William and Duane streets, has been§ given. Three hundred“and ten plates of clam soup have disappeared—three hundred and ten glasses have described circles in the air—three hundred and ten lusty voices have joined in the wild hip-hip-hurrah in favor of Tyler and the Veto. On reaching the scene of this great festive occa- sion we found the bar room and the adjoining rooms filled with a dense crowd of the faithful su- bordinates of the various public offices in the city. But, ‘* Where is Mr. Curtis ?” ‘“* Where is Colonel Graham ?’ “ Where is Mr. Curtis?” was asked on all sides, and echo answered “where?” It was at last found that Mr. Curtis had been taken very sick yesterday morning with a sort of bilious colic, but that Mr. Graham was in such a state of health, happily, as would en- able him to be present and participate in the fes- tivities. At the foot of the staircase leading to the dining room, a sturdy, brigand-looking, “ half sailor, half alligator,” sort of looking chap was stationed, to prevent the crowd from rushing pre- maturely upon the roast ducks and turkies, whose savory odors circulating freely in the atmosphere, were snufled up us eagerly by the throng, as is the pleasant fragrance of “ sweet words, and promises more sweet,” from the dispensers of office, by the acutely sensitive nasal organs of hungry office- beggars outside the doorsof the ‘‘ White House.” Having forced our way past this zealous guardian of the dinner table, in order to get to the ““Commit- tee Room,” we got up stairs, and there found the “immortal seventeen,” headed by Colonel Gra- ham in person, with Barnabas Bates, Esq., and James Auchincloss, as aid-de-camps, assisted by Georar Wasuinaton Dixon, Esq.. who had been specially enraged as ‘‘poet-laureate” and general whipper-in, for this interesting occasion. The dining room we found decorated in the most récherche style. At the head of the room was a magnificent portrait of John Tyler, with W ashing- ton on his right hand, and Jackson en his left. Around the room the arms of the States, and por- traits of illustrious statesmen and heroes were sus- pended. All had been recently executed—no ex- pense had been spared—the gold leaf and blue and yellow paint had been most profusely expended, and all, like the songs, the ducks, and the turkies, prepared “' expressly for the occasion.” ‘The Chair was occupied by Aavos Pauwen, Esq., ported on his right by Alderman Puxpr, Count Tasistro ond Stias M. Stiuwet, and on his lett’ bs Levy, U. 8. N,, Governor Hii, of New Hampshire, Dan Jacx- son and Colonel Granam.

He then geve the first regular toast— ‘The Day—The anniversary of the dirth of a patriot and statesman, (Air—Hail to the Chief) Nine cheers were for and given with full effect. The next toast was— The cone of the United Stntes. (Air—Yankee Doodle. oer cheers were again called for and given with equal effect. Cuammas.—Gentlemen, you will please come to order for a volunteer song, from a gentleman who will express himself in that way. Grorce Wasuinaton Dixon, Esq., th e celebrated “‘Afri- can melodist” and pedestrian, then walked into the patriotic feelings of the company in the following song:— “Tyler and Veto.” Air—"Marrina oy tux Waters.” ‘The world, which is now rather wrinkled and gray While yet in her maidenhood, blooming and gay, ‘Thought, just like some girls we'll not venture to name, ‘That the red field of war was the pathway to fame.

It was reserved to the administration of John Tyler to render to this illustrions patriot a measure of justice de- manded by the people, and most grateful to hia feelings. Air—Jackson’s March. ‘Tremendous cheering. “ That | give from my heart,” said the Chairman setio voce, as he satdown. ‘The last regular toast was— ‘The Ladies—God bless them! Though last on our lips, they are slways first in our hearts.

Ishall offer no apology, however, for pre- senting it to you; for I well know it will receive a cordial and enthusiastic response from every bosom, and [ am confident it is precisely the sentiment which cannot be too often repeated to those present. Is there a man here who does not feel an honest pride, when he contemplates the character and virtues of the distinguished man who guides the helm of State? (Great cheering.) Fellow citizens—I give you John Tyler—A great and good, and an honest man’s name, is a nation’s property. Drank with tremendous applause, reathing time, the Chairman Aftera short recess, o: again rose and said : Gentlemen—I am instructed to read some resolu- tions, embodying sentiments, which could not be intro. duced into the toasts—with your permission | will now read thera. Mr. Patmer then read a long strin; till, of resolutions ex. pressive of the most unbounded attachment to John Ty- ler, which were received with most uproarions demonstra. tions, houts, screams, laughter, and all sorts ot exclama- which wouldn't exactly bear reporting. Then came the following toast by George D. Strong, Esq, Ist Vice Presicent:— John Tyler ys. United States Bank—A veto judgment has disposed of ti the people have confirmed it, Mr. Stone rose after the toast had been drunk, and commenced a review ofthe history of John Tyler. The company, or the major part of it, did not, however, seem disposed to hear any speech from any body, and the fol- lowing scene ensued:— Mr. Stno o—“Mr. Chairman, I cant goon with such a noise. ‘The Cuatnmax—"Order gentlemen, order.” A Vorce—"Gir some music.” Anotnxa—Play up Old Dan Tucker.” Cwarnman—“Order, #3 order. ers for Martin Van Buren.” (Con- A Vowws—"Three fusion,). Mr. Stronc—'‘Really I cannot—” A Voice: e your time Miss Lucy.” Fiery Ve —All sorta of exclamation: “order”— ‘music”—“hurra-a-a”—“more liquo’ —‘‘get out of the wi ay old Dan Tucker”— silence”— “shame”—“‘oh !” “bah !”—"veto”—and so on. At last some degree of order was obtained, and Mr. Strong went on. He spoke of the honesty and patriotism of President Tyler. owed his conviction that he would have a support that would astonish the friends of the oth- er candidates—and that his name would go down to pos- terity in glorious gr og with those of Jefferson and Jackson. From the low tone of voice in which Mr. Strong spoke, and the confusion which prevailed, he was < a by more than a dozen or two about the head of e table. After Mr. Strong sat down, the Chairman gave thenext toast, which was handed to him by Joux Foor, Esq, 2d Vice President The State of New Hampshire—We feel the highest gratification at the presence of one of her distinguished sons. Gov. Hitt was then introduced to the company, and roseto return thanks. He read a long manuscript, ‘con- taining about as much matter as one of his “messages;” but the same reasons which prevented Mr. Strong’s elo- uence from P src full effect, operated ogainst his Excellency. Even Col, Graham and the others about him got a little fidgety, and whispered him to “cut it short;” butthe old gentleman went on and finished his manu- script. From what wecould hear of it, it appeared to be a very able and forcible vindication of John Tyler's ad- ministration, and concluded with the strongest assurances of the Governow's support and adherence, Mr. T'asistno was then called on by the chair, and on vising was received with loud appla He said—Mr. President and gentlemen—I stand before you this evening in obedience to an invitation Fequesting me to be present on this joyous occasion, and although Lextirely despair of ny, capacity to say anything that gers A new, (“I believe you”—“order*—music,” and coniusion,) ‘yet 1 could not resist the temptation of comieg here to pay my humble tribute to one whose official career presents an exhibition of intellectual energy which has seldom been surpassed—of a will so determined in what is right, and so confident in its own strength,as to rise superior to destiny, —of endurance so inexhaustible as to scorn alikefthe de nunciations of the wicked, the jeers of the ignorant, and the vituperation of the rickless.” (Cheers.) ‘The course | have pursued for the last three years, as conductor of democratic presses, towards the good and righteous man whose birth day we are assembled hereto celebrate, is a sure guarantce that any call that might be made this evening would be responded to with all the ardor of which I'am capable.

It is a proof that there at least one common bond of unity, which independ- ently of all political ties, is sufficient to connect us all— that bond, gentlemen, is ® er appreciation of the ser- vices and the character of that eminent individual who, by an elevated comprehensiveness, of a mind that is devoid of prejudice and passion, has crushed the combinations of party throughout this ‘Union to their very foundation, and as averred those great evils which a certain party—the cutpurses of the iron rule—who would fain keep their heels on the necks, and their hands in the pockets, of the people, have sought to entail upon this country. (Cheers, —cries of ‘Good”—" Go it again old boy” —“Music”—and confusion ) The common observation that a prophet re. ceives no credit in his own country, has never, I eve, been so fully verified as in the case of John Tyler. 1 sel: dom take up, for instance, a foreign journal, without find- ing its columns teeming with eulogistic remarks on his in tegrity and his exalted patriotism. In adjusting inter- national questions, it is allowed on all sides that he has been guided ty principles of honor and integ- rity—that he hus taken an unimpregnable (position, and established a precedent for the settlement o! similar ques- tions in future. (Cheers—cries of "three cheers for Van Buren”—-" order”—“ musio”—and confusion.) ‘These bpm ire the more worthy to be stated because most of em emanated from France where there is a growing hos- tility to Great Britain, and where eve British government France would indeed at any concession to the arts rival, but it was reserved to the demigods of party in this country to meke the important discovery that President ‘Tyler had consut a"British treaty” —as it isjabsurd- ly called.

By this time oy many of the guests of the lower end of the room, had got «glorious ” indeed, and the Chairman very rapidly gave the remaining “cut and ay toasts,” which were as tollows :— By F. A. Gar, Esq, 34 Vice President :—The State of Virginia—The ‘mother of patriots—none more worthy than our present chief magistrate. By Axson Hennicx, Esq., 4th Vice President :—Our Country—Under a wise and patriotic administration, it has rapidly risen from @ state of unexampled depression to an unequalled condition of prosperity. By Col. W. G. Woon, oth Vice President—Our rela- tions with Foreign Powers—Under the firm and wise councils ofthe present administration, important and long standing difficulties have been honorably adjust- ed, and those still pending will only be settled on a basis that pat protect the rights and satisfy all sections of our country. By Bis P. Ronixson, Esq , 6th Vice President:—The Democratic Party—If actuated by the principlexof jus- tice and consistency, which caused them to re-elect Gen. Jackson, they will re-elevate John ‘Tyler to the station which he has filled with such eminent ability, and to the preservation of the principles of democracy, By Lawrence Hutu, 7th Vice President.) The Empire State—Great in resources and tertitery, eminent for the talent and virtues of her citizens. While she is true to them, she will do justice to John Tyler, who has, upon all occasions, honored her sons and pro: tected her rights. By Cuanuxs Fox, Esq. 8th Vice President. ‘The Oregen—A question of great interest and impor- tance ; our claims are in safe hands ; they will insist upon nothing but what is right, and submit to nothing that is wrong. Mr. Epwano 8, Denny was called on for a speech, and spoke for some time, amid considerable confusion, on the subject of Irish repeal and John Tyler’s support of it. He saidthathe had been born with a heart-hatred of Great Britain, and could not but respect and honor Joha Tyler, who cherished the same hatred toBritain as did the immor- Ver tae Mr. Derry gave atoast, which we could not catch, 7 Mr. Jams Bercen followed in the same strain, and said that every Irish repealer must be a friend to John Tyler.

The Democratic Republican friends of John Tyler held a second celebration last exening at Washington Hall, where an immense muster of the President’s supporters flocked together to do him honor on the anniversary of his birth day, and pay his Excellency a warm tribute of respect and congratulation. The issue of the tickets for the celebration at the Shakspeare Hotel was limited to su¢h amount as the accommodations in that house could only aflord, and therefore a large number of the President’s friends, who were unable to pro cure admission, resolved on getting up a second celebration, to testify their regard for Mr. Tyler. Accordingly an immense number of the thorough- hearted democratic republican sons of Columbia— the bone, pith and sinew of the people—were inat- tendance on the occasion. The spacious apartment was beautifully decora- ted with banners—the “stars and stripes” of the Union gave an enlivening effect to the scene. Be- hind the Chairman hung suspended the “Green Banner of Erin,” on which was represented the “Irish Harp,” with a portait of J. Tyler appended thereto. At the opposite end of the room, and behind the Vice President’s chair, was a beautiful flag, bearing this motto—“The people are sove- reign—they will govern peaceably if they can, forcibly if they must,” with the New York arms attached. At eight o’clock the company sat down to a good substantial dinner. The dishes, consisting of the choicest viands of the season, were well garnished with the most inviting trnits and vegetables,which, with the excellent solids and highly flavored fluids, were discussed by the company with hearty good will; indeed the cheer was truly excellent. A splendid band were in attendance. ‘On the removal of the cloth, Mr. Staten, who presided, rose and said—Mr. Vice President and low-c: humble as I am, on me has devolved the honor to yon onthe objects of our meeting.

Colton, very briefly, as fallo Gextiemes or tHe Juny—This is an action of trover brought by plaintiffs against defendant. In this form and condition the plaintiffs sue, ‘They say, that being in pow session of certain bills, these bills were lost, and got into the possession of the defendant. Now, the state of the case is, that they employed a clerk-—that this young man, who was their clerk, got their money, and being in pos- session of it, it got into the possession of Colton—that Col- ton got this money by being the owner of u faro bank, and therefore, that, being the owner of a faro bank, his posses- sion of the money was illegal. Now, gentlemen, three poiuts must be made out to establish this case in law. The first is, that the defendant got the property; the second is, that this clerk, Davis, played at Colton’s; and the third is, that the amount lost as described in the declaration. ‘This is the state of the case, Now, asto the testimony, the whole rests with Davis; forthe testimony of the vari- ouswitnesseswho have been'examined corroborates that of Davis; and in relation to Davis’ testimony, he states that the time of playing at these gambling houses he t about $10,000, which he took from his employers.— ‘This sum of money Was taken at various times, from commencement, in 140, when he was going on gradi ly, until he took this large amount from his employ: ie jied $1008 in playing at other houses in this cit until lanusry, 1843, when he went to Ver street, and ed there. He next went to the houses of Marshall and Wallace, and also played there ; and between them all he lost about $10, He states that $0000 of that Colton’s at a faro bank.

Davis states that he lost about $10,000; and, pears by the book that $9,700 were taken. In rela. tion to the taking of this money, I look upon his state. ment with less incredulity from ‘the circumstances con nected with his statement. ‘The first point to be establi ed is, did he take the $10,000 ? and [dwell particularly on this—is his credit to be relied on ? With regard to Col- tun, the evidence on that part is that there was @ name on the door, and that “Colton” was the name, There was ‘no christian name attached. We also have it in dence tha’ Colton occasionally acted us dealer, or tester and stew ard, in taking in the winnings.

Di 4 that he lost the $6000 at Colton’s; but he has con ted himself, for he admitted at the end he was about He, however given an explanation to this point, ae he stated he wi afraid of his employers to make edmission as to his losses, being @ young mas beginning life and dependent on his ongyens but there is another specific contradiction which must have considerable weight.

Now, if he had no claim upon Colton, why should he coniess this; but to stop this gap, he said ( they made thi proposition in order to induew him to stay in their employ so that he might be able to secure more plunder. There are centradictions in other parts,so that it is Umporsible (0 know the actual amount of the loss. The great objection to this young man is, that he stands here asa most depraved character, guilty of a long series of vices, and on the other side his story has all the proba- bilities of trath about st. He has been admitted into a most culpable confidence by his employers, and had the management and custody of large sums of money ; he is seduced into those dens of iniquity that corrnpt this hy and such however, #s exist m all great cities such as this, What is his story but the story that we hear in every court, but it comes to us from a polluted source, because 4 professional gembler is inconsistent with every thing tha talengotohumentty. destroying every morai quaili- ty warring with the ordinary dictates of nature ; still, gentlomen, much as we may reprobate the eorrup! influences of the professed gambler, you must deal with Colton os you would deal with yoursel purene areasonatle course, eatisfying yoursely the amount in lew, if any, that you are « jealing with all the facts of the ease under its most gra crons maxim ‘The Jury retired, and after delaying « short time, ren.

This gentleman is still in this city, and can, in turn, bet» ter than any person, defend the authenticity of their ori- gin, if that were not well attested by the best critics, French, English, German, and American, who have vis ited all the collections of Italy. The “Nativity” of Correggio, from the sam he says is “ only fit for a sign bourd.” In these exp we ave the ignorance, or the jealous; by which this critic all nothing is so fine as this picture, if it be regarded with at- tention—those figures of Angelo wear a smile so simple and so natural that a smile turn excited on the cheek of the observer—he becom enchanted.
