Duwxinx, May 16, 1851. ‘The President and Mr. Webster slept last night at tho residence of Mr. Risley, President of the extension of the New York and Erie Railroad line. The remainder of the invited guests slept on board the steamboat, in the har- bor, there being no room clsewhere, They breakfasted on board this morning. Mr. Webster's son became very ill last night, and it was necessary to send for a physician. In consequence of this, Mr. Webster will not go to Buffalo, to-day, with the President and party. He remains by the sick bed of his som, Mr, W. himself was by no means well, and accordingly did not attend the dinner last evening. A steamboat will be in waiting for him as soon as his son recovers, and he will then join the President. ‘The Secretary of the Navy gave orders last night for the war steamer Michigan to be in readiness to convey the President and party to Buffalo; but it was deemed advisable to proceed by the May Flower. They will leave here at one o'clock, in company with the Mayor and prot uae of Buffalo, who have chartered the M. ¥. for ep ‘The President and cabinet visit the falls.

Preparations for the reception here were commenced at an early hour, and before noon the streets were crowded. The public, as well as many private houses. were taste- fully decorated ; the national standard was displayed from the shipping im the harbor ; great numbers of the old friends and constituents of Mr. Filmore, came flook- into town, and on every side a joyous and patriotic feel- ing was manifested. Until three P.M. the crowd visibly increased ; the tide by canal and railroads, until it became evident that this was to bt the mort public demonstration ever witnessed ix our city, or in Western New York. Atone o'clock, P.M., the hour designated in the order of arrangements, the military, Fire Department, and civic societies of the city mustered at their several stations, and thence proceeded to Niagara square. and forming un- der the direction of the Grand Marshal aud assistants, marched to the foot of Main street, the military, on the right, taking position at the steamboat landing, and the fireman and civic sovictios extending on the left, in close order, and reacbing considerably above the Man- sion House. Every available spot commanding a view of the Inke and harbor seemed occupied, while the lo line, stretching up Main street, gave an indistinct idea the numbers present. ‘The Mwy Viower was deseried in the distance, and from the time her approach was announced, all the vast multi- tude assembled,remained quiet and orderly, awaiting her arrival. Not the slightest disturbance, or even an acci- dent.occurred during the time—a circumstance mainly Stisibutable to theatimirable management of the com. mittee.

Arriving at the stand, « brief and appropriate speech, welcoming the President, was delivered by the Mayor, and received with great enthusiasm, After which the President steppod forward, and was welcomed with nine hearty cheers. He responded brietly but eloquently, and evidently with great feeling. We shall not attempt to give a sketch of his remarks, nor of | the speeches made by Secretary Graham, Postmaster Hall, and Governor Hunt, nor of the admirable speech of the young giant of the West, Senator Douglas, of Mlinois, Uapital as all the speeches were, we DAY say, without being invidious, and irrespective of party predi- lections, that his apeech was the speech of the day. After the talk was concluded, the President and the | invited guests were escorted to the Mansion House, where | we leave them. | Prior to their leaving the stand. the Mayor remarked as follows:—To the citizen soldiers and firemen of Buf- faio, to the several civic sccieties, to all our fellow-citi- zens who have contributed by their presence to the in- teresting ceremony of receiving the guests of the city and of the nation.

I have witnessed many an imposing and awful ceremony in the course of my life ; I have bebeld Paris pour its thou. | sands and tens of thousands to hail a king, and weleome a republic ; I have beheld two emperors review an army of seventy thousand men, who obeyed their word. like one map, in silence and in dread ; I héfve seen Genoa il. | | | | ecene presented at took her seat upon the Chair of State, Again the trum- pets sounded their loyal clamor, ~~ of her im- mediate attendants—the statesme: representatives: of her foreign allies, the officers of her household—ar- ranged themselves around her, and, after a brief pause, she rose, and pointing te the castern and western ranges of nave and gallery, pronounced the Exhibition opem. E The words were no! suerely heard; but the understood. A loud shout of acclamation similar to that which welcomed the Queen as she entered, peale® forth—while the sudden and startling burst of ‘was answered by the ready and heavy reports of the erations firing the royal salute from the side of the Serpentine, in Hyde Park. we cerems was ended—the Exhibition opened. To obtain anything like an idea of the scene you must people the mighty building with an innumerable: anxious. ¢xcited, brilliant—massed on the floor, “cluster- ing on platforms, swarming on gulleries, uprearing its proportions on all sidee—from the square space im the centre, which is one blaze of many colored uniforms, of | plumes, epaulettes. and helmets—andgmust | this with the frame of the glorious building Tteelt, dectcod, with statues, exotics, fountains, glittering chandeliers, and gorgeous tapestry—the air filed with mingled and acclamation—and animated with the moral siaem and fervor which universally prevailed—the whole moving, waving. trembling with life and excitement. This, perhaps, will give some faint and wague idea of the fie inauguration of the Crystal Palace by Queen Victoria, ‘After the opening had been pronounced, the royal procession retired as it bad entered. For many hours after the withdrawal of the royal cortege the Palace was thronged with visiters. All seemed luminated at night, and the Mediterranean blaze with | meteors ; I huve stood on the Giant's Stairs at Venice | and beheld an oppressed people forget their wrongs in | ings and queens laid out in state, the mockery of royal- | ty—and seen, in the cold slabs of the Morgue the fren- | zied countenance and blue lips of the innocent girl who | had sought death from deepuir—and the forms of the mur- derer and the murdered, all rights calculated to arouse emotions—but never, with one sole exception, has any sight produced so imposing an effect upon me as the cere- mcny of the inauguration of the Palace of Industry | of All Nations, on the Ist of May, 1851. The role exception I allude to was a total eclipse of the sun, which was visible at Milan on the 8th of July, 1842. When the light of day grew dim, and darkness o'erspread | the face of earth, the thousands of spectators assembled | on the roof of every edifice of the city, reverently un- | covered, many wept, and when the earth passed, and the first brilliant ray of light was again visible, a shout, like the distant roar of the ocean, greeted ite genial light. ‘The effet was imposing beyond descrip- tion, This morning, the effect was of a similar nature upon many who beheld the tribute and homage of the whole globe offered respectfully to a gentle lady, who, wherever she passed, was greeted with cheers, by men from the North and from the South, from the East and from the Weat. It was a sight not to be forgotten. The sun rose bright and clear, with a fresh breeze. Having promised to escort two amiable ladies, I joined them at seven in the morning, when we at once entered our carriage, and set out in the direction of Hyde Park. | ‘The West End was already alive with carriages. On enter- | ing the Park, we found that a line of carriages extended | already from the grand entrance nearly to Hyde Park cor- ner ; the gates were not to open till nine. Half an hour | later, the line of carriages, in some places six deep; | extended all down Piccadilly, down Regent street as far | us the Haymarket, and the stream of vehiclos continued | to pour and rattle along from every corner of the huge metropolis. At half-past eight, we were still at Albert ante, opperite Hudson's house. «As the clock struck nine, the gates of the Industrial PAlace were opened, and the first and the most patient alighed. As the empty car- riages rolled away, the others drove up, and the living masses, the muslin and silken dresses, the white lace bon- | nets, the pink and biue mantillaa, entered the crystal halls. ‘The arrangements were perfect ; the ticket was | cnly shown; you recived @ card which’ denoted where you should go; long lines of red benches having beon prepared for the ladies all down each side of the transept, | With the exception of two or three persona who either from emotion or from weakness, everything passed off without # single accident, I may add, that the American cagle, with the stars and stelpen, ceouplen the wholack the sustesn ond, being, visible from eve of the nave, rising, as it a its strength and power, above the compartment to the exhibitors of the United States. ‘To-day. the sun is bright, and tens of thousands pour towards the building, which ‘is gaily decorated with the ag of every nation. ith Operas were crowded last night.

In France, some fears are entertained of an émeute om the 4th instant, the annive of the promulgation of the existing constitation ; but I doubt it. The struggle, however, will come, sooner or later.

Bowrry Tuxatae.—The new drama entitled “Raf felle, or the Reprobate of Paris,’ was presented last eve- ning. and was received with the greatest euth such as has always marked the splendid productions of the owery theatre. Mr. aud Miss Wemyss, two wri nd excellent atiste, added pita gy of this piece, and gave flattering aa eurances of the high position they must inevitably at- tain in their profession. The other characters were. sustained by the respective members of the talented com- pany, It will be repeated this evening in the same masterly sty!

With her usual punctuality, the Queen arrived about two minutes before the clock struck noon, A flourish of | trumpets, and a deafening cheer, which was heard but | faintly in some parts of the building, announced her ar- rival } We had not to wait long. Beyond the glass walls was | teen a wavering among the thronging crowd. Then | came the low, murmuriog sounds of cheering.

Then the bronze acd gilded wate of the transept flew asunder, and the full crash of chorus, bend, and organ swelled into “God save the Queen?
