It consisted of twenty-one companies, seven of which wore fcom the ud- jacent townships, under command of Col. Whitehead, of Eueabethtown, forming a very fine lookiag battalion, which elicited the well-merited compliments of the Presi- dent and «Jl behoiders.

Plame, acquitted himself with great credit. Altogether, the reception of the Prssident in Newark was extremely cordial, and must have deen hizhly flat tering to his Excellency. The arrangements made by the Committee of Reception were liberal and effective. THE DEPARTURE FROM NEWARK. Aldermen Brisley aud Stewart, a deputation from the Blew York Committee of Arrangements, arrived in Newark ‘@bout seven o'clock, and were introdaced to the Presi dent.

The city authorities of New York determined upon receiving his Excellency in a manner worthy of the man his porition, and themselves.

Alderman Graham made tender, cp bebalf of the people of Brooklyn, of the hospi- talities of their city. The Committee will meet the Presi- dent again at the Astor House. General Pierce immedi- ately sscended to the promenade deck with o select party, in order to enjoy the glorious prospect which the river and bay prevented. ‘The Josephine wan immediately cast loose, and steered down the bay almost as far asthe Narrows, by which meacs the President was enabled to receive the full in- fluence of tho invigorating breeze.

THE RECEPTION AT CASTLE GARDEN. SPEECHES OF MAYOR WESTERVELT AND PRESIDENT PIERCE. Vast numbers wended their way, long before 8 o'clock, towards Castle Garden, where the Mayor was to receive the Presidest on behalf of the people of New York. The admission was by tickets, issued by the Common Council, and there was, consequently, more decorum on the part of the aadience than could have been expected if the building was epen to the general rush of the “ unterri- fied demceracy.” Amongst the auditors there was a goodly dispisy of naval and military officers, whose gay uniforms gave an enlivening brilliancy to the scene A compeny of the Light Guards composed of a fine ret of brave looking fellows, were ranged about the centre of the floor of the amphitheatre. It was nearly half past 10 o'clock waen the President arrived, Toe commotion amongst the spectators on the balcony, who were watching the progress of the Jose- phine in the bay, and the booming of canaons, gave no- tice of the approsch of his Excellency. He entered, leaning on Alderman Brisley, (Chairman of the Com mittee of Arrangements.) and Alderman Barr, and ac companied by the President of the Board of Aldermen and the ether memvers of the Commoa Council of New York. The President wae received with great en thusiasm from all parts of the house, and gratolully bowed his acknowledgments. He looked very pale, and oceasiopally placed his hand on his temples as if suf- fering from hesdache, He shook hands cordially with the Mayor, tbe Recorder, and revoral other goatlomen to whom he was ivtroduced.

(Immense . To whieh the President responded as follows: — THE PRESIDENTS SPEECI AT CASTLE GARDEN. I thank you for the kind and patriotic exgressions with which you have received ms. For the first timo T addrers, within their own borders, the citizens of the Empire City, now, bayond all controversy, the com- mercial metropolis cf our blessed Union, The rapidity, sir, wih which New York has arisen to so tommanding & position a8 ons of tho most important cities uvoa the globe has no parallel in history. Already the enter- prise of your merchants, the ganius of your ship builders, the daring spirit of your vast teading marine, are be ginning to make you first in the markets of the world. Here, my countrymen, hera in New York—will the ledger of commerce keep ths accounts of che nations of the earth, Neer the spot on waich we siand there aro striking points which mark the amaziug rapidity of yoar growth as a city. On the opposite side of Bowling Greep, if I am not mistaken staods one of the compara- tively few edifices erected prior to 1770. It is, I believe, the only one remaining originally puilt of German brick. It 4s a revered relic of @ past age. How surprised porsibly even the young men of the present day would be, if they were fully to realize that six years after its orection the waters of the North river flowed almost to its foundations, and that far north of where three great parallel strects now teem with acti- vity ‘and enterpri-e was the sardy Jandl: g of boats upon the shores of that then free and uncircumscribed river. How difficult it is atthis period to reslize that the limits of the city at that date extended not beyond Murray street, and that there were even within that boundary many vacant lote, and that the population hardly exceeded twenty thousand. Shall we speuk of the future? How can we when we revert to the’ caleulations of really wise men of the past, who, if Iam not misinformed, “built the north wall of the City Hall of brick, because, as it was to be presented alone to the unsettled district, the exterior aspect on that side was of slight consequeace. Bow far is it at this moment south of the centre of popu- lation, wealth and enterprise? In 1826 yourcity hardly exeeeded 140,000, now you number more thea haifa million of souls. In that year Iremember to have heard my fathey, on his return from New York after h‘s firet visit here subsequent to the close of the Revolution, express his amazement at the growth aad chinge of the city. Still, at that time Brooklyn, which now nombers more than one hundred thousand souls, was compuiatively a village, aud, riding oa horssoack with old Gen. Morton, he found standing a portica of the building on Brooklyn Heights on which he had rua up the American ensign upon the evacuation of the city, in 1783 From the first date [ have named, 1770, vo this hour, the history of the city has been the histocy of patriotic devotion to popular rights and popalar liber That fora time during ths Revolutionary strazyle an other ensign then ours floated here is no cause of mor tification; it was the fortune of war, and, ia our weik and embarressed condition, unavoidable But the ¢un of the 25h November, 1733, rose here for the last tiae upon the rule of a foreign power, and the anuiversacy of that day is remembered by your “Sons of Liberty” with the same patriotic ferling that the great nati mal aoni vervary of July Fourth is regarded by the veople of our common country. How are you. men of New York, to show your gratitude for the past? How are you to make the most of the preseat? How sre you te secure ali the nob’e promise of your future? ‘You will keep hizh your standard of i itelligence and mo rels, beeau’e all spgarent advancement will prove fuila- cious, and weakness will be aubsti:uted for stroagth, whenever as x people we cease with reverence aod humble dependence to look tothe source of ali power, and s)l wisdom, You will educate your childrea in the belief and conviction that you have neither power rer permay eree, nor Fecurity, nor liberty, exeept as you constitute one of the members of thix vast and sow uoi- versolls respected confederacy. Yon will foster every where the living, active, efficient rentimeat, that uader the Providence of God these great blessings may only be enjoyed under the present constitut: You remember yourselves.and often remind o:hers that wise men framed that constitution—men who knew what independence cost, because in their own oufftring aud in the privatioas and trials of their families and friends they had pid a part of that expense, The great problem of the formation of the Union called not only for all the wisdom but fur all the patriotic conception of the wisest body of men the world badever yet seen in council. If there are those at ihe prevent day who—having never made for their country the sacrifice you have, of eave, of a dollar of income, or of oxe moment of personal dan- ger—would break up the foundation on which we have so prosperou:ly and securely stood— the bays of our happiness at home and our respec: abrosd—the only sure pledge of all that we expect for thore who sre to come after ur—it isto be hoped that they are few in number, and their sphere of in* fluence is limited. If there are provisions in the 'constie tution of your country not conststent with your views of principle or expediency. remember that ia the nature of things that instrun ent coud only bave had its origia in compromise ; and remember too, that you will ba faith less to honor ana common honesty if you cousent to enjoy the privileges it cosfers, and week to avoid the burdens it imposes, It cannot be accepted ia parts : it is a whole or mothing and as a whole, with all the rights it recures and the duties it requires, it is to be reortdly maintained, I accept these honors as your rer. vant with a thankful heart, but I bear with me at the same time s proud consciousness that by your f.es aad unsovght choice I am also your representative, charged with the care of your interests aud your honor. I hope to be encouraged and strengthened in ali my effurts to promote the «xe and prererre unsnllied the other, by such countenance ard support on your part asa fearless and faithful exercise of the functions commisted to me_ may merit. Mr. Mayor—This Empire City and this Empi-a Stete are the living practical exemplitications of the.talismanic word adopted sa your motto Has ttneter occar-od to you, sir, that the hand which first iareribed “ Excelsior” upon your coat of arms must have been guided bya prophet's ‘honght avd an eye that discovered the future with a pro phet's vision? This spectacle teaches all of us a valuable acd significantlerson, May God in his wisdom make you rensible of the blessings conferred upon you ; and durieg my term of office may He strengthea me in my siacere and anxious purpose to_aid you in all your honorable and patriotic enterprires. For who can estimate the events of the future? Who shall say to your gres: character istic and to the epirit of oar whole country, ‘ Thas far shalt thou go and no farther?” As you adyancs in your majestic career new duties and new responsibilities are imposed, and as your conquering exam ple manifests it- self on oll hands new conceptions of still further tri umpbs will arouse and simulate your exertions, The Old World bas caught the inspiration f.om the New. Na tions closed to civilizatioa for hundreds of years arvase from: the sleep of ages aod atretch oat their hands to the inquiring spirit which i+ constantly +s og in vength for new victories over time sod 1 pace the: sores. Who will cet limits to your just ambition when the Atlantic is bridged with steamers to the shores of Furope and united to the Pacific by the great thoroughfare that will eventually bial thees Stator to. gether as with hooks of steel? And, sir, with all these advapisges—with all these privileges—with all these Denefita of the present snd these aptioipations of the future—and Jet me say, with all the invocations of the rast—how can we fall to welcome thore who come’to us from the grey old nations of Europe? Lat them come ! There is room enough for all—room ia the hearts and in the homes of the American people—acd ihere is work end food enovgh for all. The moment they enter into the brotherhocd of American freemen they cease to be citi- wns of other countries, and they beur their ohare of the burdens and enjoy their share of the blessings commow toallinthis bappy Union. It {a this great truth that invokes us against all schismatic orgenizaticas not strictly American, and that destroys the claim thet ours’ is a vation governed by men of one race alone. No single race of men can bcast that to them aloue is humyaity incebted for such # country as this, It isthe fusion of al! rations into ove that bas given to us the ot tituee we now cecupy and that has crowned our en terprises with success. Your own experience is the proof of this, All races have contributed to the popula tion that now crowds your ships, butlds your cities, sits ia your councils, and educates your childrea.’ The hardy fons of New England and the descendents of your owa pioneers mirgle sith the tite that flows ia from other na tions, until all chsracteristics disappear before the pro- gressive and courageous spirit that animates the citizens of ouro*n country and protects our free institutions. And now, my fellow.countrymen, once more I thank you for this brilliant and extraordinary reception, a tridute which you pay to the goverument of yoar choice and affection and to our heavea favored Union in the person of your represen'ative in the, Presidential chair. The President concluded amiiat the enthusiastic ap- plause of the immense crowd assembled in thé Garden. There were thon loud calls for Jefferson Davis, who came forward, andina few words thanked tham for the compliment, but would not detain them from forming in the procession, and procseding to the inauguration of the Crystal Dalace, Tho President was then conducted fro the staza to the Patiery, und was followed by tho vast assomblage in the body ané gallery of the house. The crush was immense, and only for the admirably ar-angements of Mr. Mateell, the Chief of Police, and the discipline of the officera and men under him, the diferent avenues of egress would not have been suflicieat to have accommodated the eager throng. All passed off, however, quietly, and many of them proceeded to witress the review of the troops, whilst the more wary ensconced themselves in the car- riages kindly provided by the Common Council to con- vey those who were in posession of ‘‘ little blue tickets” in the procession to the Crystal Palace. THE REVIEW ON THE BATTERY. Shortly after the landing of the President at Castle Garden, he proceeded, accompanied by the Hon. Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, and escorted by General San- ford ands staff of officers, to review the troops, who were drawn up in three lines, forming an imposing appearance. The following is a Wat of the military, consisting of the whole of the First Division New York State Militia, Charles W. San- ford, Major General Commanding. FIRST BRIGADE.

Infantry Cuvalry Artillery, Totale.ses.es The Pre-ident rode up and down the lines successively, making the tour of the Battery several times, and was enthusiastically received by the military and people. He bowed very graciously to the troops in passing by, to some with more familiarity than to othezs, and was cheered ve.y much by the Coatisen tels. The 12th Regiment appeared for the first tiwe in their new uniform, which consists of white coats, light blue pants, black leather bolts, and the new regulation cap; the officers wearing gold epsulettes, and the privates wearirg the ssme of worsted. This regiment is composed of the followicg companies, who have all adopted the new uniform, with the exception of the Light Guard, who do not appear inclined to change their old uaiform fur the ew, al bough their commanding officer, Cupt Vinceat, is in favor of it:—Lafayette Fusiliers, Capt. French; City Musketeers, Capt Palmer; Baxter Guard. Cupt. Dykemaa; Tompkins Blues, Capt Besson; Baxter Biues, Capt Water, bury; Independence Guard, Copt. Cairns; City Blues, Capt. Johnson ; Light Guard, Cept. Vincent, Tho last bawed company were not present at the review with their regiment, being detailed for special duty at the Crystal Pa- lace. The review being over, the President was e-corted up State street by four troops of the Third Brigade, aad ore of the First, who did o-cort duty for the day, Tae wibtszy then broke into coluam, and formed in line of march through State street aud up Broadway to the Crystal Palace, ‘The Preeident in reviewing the troops on the Battery, and in pasting up Brosdway to the Crystal Palace, was mounted on the beautiful horse Black Warrior—e relict of the Florida aud Moxtean wars, now twenty-two years ld, belonging to Mejor Merrill, of the 24 U. S. Dragoons. ‘This yeteran charger was twice wounded ia the batues in which General Pierce participated in Mexico, and thorgh now kept for the good he has dons, he con- tributed much to the gence and fine military bearing of the distioguished rider. Shortly before the review, while the steamer in which was the President, was nearing the Battery. Joseph Aus tin, oxe of the crew belonging to the brig Washiogton which io a revenue cutter under the command of Capt. Mertin, met with aa secident while firing a salute.

At sbout balf-past eleven o'clock the President, iastead of dismounting from horseback and occupying a seat in the four horse barouche in attecdance for that parpo: expressed @ desire to contione the route as he was then seated, and accordingly, under the escort of Captain Verian’s troop of Washington Grays, the President, ac by Major General Sandford, headed the pro- cession with # body guard of police officers Masterson, McKepsey, MoPherron, ani Latiey, four of the Chie('s special aids, selected for that purpose. ‘The fact of the Provident beng on horseback misled the public to a certain extent, as it wee not looked for by them, as the published programme of the morntog esigoated the Preeident to be located in o barouchy, drawn by six borses, and when the Presitent approach? nt the berd of the column in go silent ® manacr, not even the sound scarcely of music in tho distance, ine peoyle were taken by surprice, und the great object of attraction nearly had parsed before the shouts of »p- pleuee becawe universal.

INCIDENTS EN ROUTE. The Prerident, on leaving the Battery, removed his hat and bowed bis acknowledgments to the people, as the shouts avé hvzzas rent tha air. When opposite the Mu seum lady presented the President with a apleadid bouquet Officer Masterton picked it up, and the Prest- dent tock it and returaed i: to the officer, requesting him totske care of it, At this janc'ure the shouts of the people were tumultuous, the ladies waved their hana. kerchiefs and the weo their hats. The President cou tinued to bow, and passed along until he came to tho Irving House.

This, ke the others, was taken care of by the police officer, At thie moment the threatening cloud which had ob” roured the sun for some ten minutes before gave vent to its watery powers and down poured: the rain in drops of no ordinary rize. A universal seampering took place among the people; the ladies and children hurried for ehelter under awnings and in stores, and the men followed as quickly. Thousands however were drenched through all their clothing before securing « ‘proper shel- ter, The President and military had place to shelter; they stood their ground and coutinued their march, A gentleman remed W. A. Cockran, who witnessed the President exposed to the rain and very wet, tended him arilk umbrella. At first the President refused to accept it, remarking, 1am not sugar, I shall not melt, I osm stand the rain as well as any of you;” aud it was only at the earnest solicitation of Gen Sandford that the Presi dent consented to raise the umbrella aud hold it up. The umbrella, however, was but of littls service as the Pre-i dent was already very wet. This sudden shower cleared a large number of the peo ple from the street; sti'l the procussion eontioued on ita outs, Arriving opposite the St. Nicholas Hovl, + splendid bonquet was thrown from one of the siadows of the hotel, sttacbed to which was th-ee long tri ¢ lor rib- bons, Onthis bouquet was inscribed — rN red © Long live our Presideat."” z 3 eens teenage eee At Twenty sixth street ax: ¢ bouquet was presente from the hand of a very beauti’ullady, ‘The Presideat wit nessed her throw it down,uod saluted her aceordiogly, on- Jy not £0 feelingly ax be pessibly would have doue bad she been within a rensonsble distance Tho shower only extended as fa: up town as Fourteenth street, and the President remarked that it was « curious fect to find the streets so dusty in so short distance af- ter the heavy rain they bad just experienced.

Tue President consents i to the proposition, ard in # #sloon opposite the Palace the Pre- sident took the necessary refre-hmeat. After this tl President, ecoompanied by Gen.

SIGHTS AND SCENES ON THE ARRIVAL O# THE PROCESSION, BTC., ETC. One of the mest pleasicg. and at the same time amas- ing, features of the demonstration, was the scene ou'- side of the Crystal Pa'ace, previous to and at the time ¢f the arrival of the procession, with the Presiden’ at the head of the column. One of our reporters was on the ground at nineo’clock A. M., and even at that early hour the windows of the houses situate in Sixth avenue, Fortieth street and Forty second etreet, were occupied by ladies, while the sidewalks bad already become thronged with curious od cervers, There was hardly sir enough to stir the flags which floated above the builcing which was the centers of attraction, and the eun poured dowa his rather warm “beems’? most mercilessly. Great was the wish for shede; sherry cobblers in great numbers miracuiualy disappeared; still ths crowd cried like “Oliver asking for more.”’ About the Palace everybofly seemed ia a srate of excitement borderiog on desperation, The gea- tlemen from the “rural districts,"’ as they stared open mouthed at the dome, wore rudely a vakened from theic state of wrapt aimiration by the sudden punching of their ribs, caused by the sharp edges of boards, plarks or gas-pipes, as they were hastily carried into the baild- ‘ing. The little boys would ¢ owd up to the stops, despite the exertions of the * blue jays,’’ as they called the Crystal Paixce police, Joined to thiy excitement, on For y-second street could be heard the braying of horns and trombones, and the small, but not still voices of che proprietors of the numerous stall “ shows’? which surround the Palace, 24 they called upon the amu; ement-loving soversigas to caver, pay a shilling, and enjoy themselves like“ geatlemen and Christi ”? as the individual who was ‘attached to the live crocedtle’’ pithily remarked. The people all seemed gry in the extreme, aud if the looker on had closed hie oyes he might easily have irosgined himself in the mids: ofa carnival in some continental city—all but the lan guege. Sometimes the irs of the uoterrided would be sroused for the moment by the arrival of a carriage «ith ervants in livery, and they would make intensely sasiri cul remarks about “ butions,’ * gaiters,’”’ and * flan kies ? One thing delighted them in the extreme, which was the fact that several of the “atistoocacy”” arrived vefore invited guests could be admitiod neo riing to the printed rules, and they were obliged to dance ati adanco nthe stepsan hour or more. Tais, combined with nu- cerows applications at the wrong entrances, and as mauy repulses at the rame, kept the ‘outsiders’ in good humor for an hour or more, so true 1s it that misery, etc, —" the reverb ’s come hat murty !'" The sun rove higher and higher in the heavens, thereby -howing that even the occurrence of #0 great an evont as ‘he opening of the “Exhibition of All Nations’ could sot e him swerve from his usual custom. Hotter and potter, * dryer” and ‘dryer,’ became the people—fuller ard fuller waxed the bar-roome, and faster and faster did che gentlemanly snd ¢ignified bar-keepers praaufacture ‘gobblers,’’ * emaabers,’’ “ punches” and othar ‘ vario thee,’’ ae the reverend Mr. Stiggins wow, observe, Hleven o'clock! The rush hay fairly commonced ! Every variety of vebicle-«ears, stages, hacks private equipages, Light @agons, appeared on the ground, and discharged (javir ying freig) t. Good hea- vens! what a ‘ust they kicked up It was « sort o” nutu- ral snuff that the people did not admire, and if they ware Bot obliged to bit the dust they certainly ate enowgh of it. Some black clou’s appeared on the herison, and & alight indication of rain drove all to the shelter of awa- Inge, doorways, ice creameries, unfinished buildiage, an@ other places of resort. There was no rain, however, that blessing being reserved for the more «anctified people down town. ‘The exhibitors now began to arrivein crowds, and en- tered by the Forty.second street gate, We pitied a little Freveb girl and her father, who had received a certificate that they were exhibitors, but, through Igeorance of the rules, bad neglected to get season tickess at the appoint- €d time, It was tro late ! Tue litle giel was very pretty, and se looked at the doorkeeper with euch a metanchsly siz that we thought it would bave melted even Cerberas himvelf but perbaps that amiable creature had never beem 8 policeman, and never had orders. Our friends from the rue St Antcine, however, could do nothiog, and re- tired. looking very miserable indeed. The interest of the soeme was heightened by the fuct that they spoke Freace ovly, and the endeavors of the doorkeeper to master that anguage bad evidently not been attended with the moxt bridi: nt success, Twelve o'clock, and ao procession! Fiercor became the rush upon the eatables, drinkables, and smokeables, louder and louder brayea the trombones, more aud more crowded wore the cara and stages, more aud more ear- nbst, pathetic, coaxing, became the epeechos of the show- men, and still the hammers clinked about the palacg. There was murmuring in the crowd—the people had ac- tually gotten impatient, avd began to swear at the delay. Great crowds poured into tho avenue from For- tieth and Forty-second streets, and every window which could command a view of the prosaision waa occupied. The display of female beauty wad very inter, esting to the bachelors, and the many hundred bright eyes which beamed from the new building sorner of Fortioth street were only excelled in lustre (and effect) by old Sol himself. The sidewalks were now so full as to render locoretion uncemfortable. Young and old were bent under the weight of Louquets babies, fans and opera ziasses—they were made victims for ice creams and sherry codblers—al! sorts of impossible ani uncomfortable foats were de” manded of them—in fact, the exacting character of the Uelle sex was fully displayed. The dom», turrets and balcony of the Palace had begum to fill up with people. A cooling breeze sprung up, and the many colored flags aud streamers flaunted out brave- ly. The ensembie was charming. While the people waited they wanted not for entertainment—such as it was. We were amused by @ band, composed of three litle girla— one performed on the tamborine, another was ‘some’ on the accordeoa, and the third would have been a very fine vocal performer had she been possessed of several re- quisites generally considered impe ratively necessary. She favored us with a song, which had s great many verses--the argument related to a “ cavalier” whe hed aecuced a ‘forest muiden,”” and had carried hers great many miles ‘away from her own counter-e-e.”’ She alse told us several interesting epirodes in the history of “Susanna,’’ and the departure. (rather abrupt, it a:em- ¢d,) of that young lady’s lover from “Loozianner.’* Oar friends over the way ‘‘kept up their end of the rope’? with the trombones—so we were not so much cnmuied F after all. Holt-past one o’clock! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah t There is the first shout, and far down the avenue the people descry the waving plames and flashiug sabres of the Washington Greys, the advance gua-d aud, the escort of the President. Now there is excitsment— now there ina rush! The gentlexan who had got. hoarse with inviting people to ascertain their own exact weight, at the remarkably low price cf ons cent each, mounted the tops of bis scales, and actually lost three customers throngh his haste. Our fat friend, who kad ben talking , for two weeks about a “livin skiliton, oaly we'ghe fifteen pound, and his arm ain’t no bigger round thea my finger—i' it is, I'll give you your money back—and em joyin’ perfect health, and eats bis meals regular, and « mule which is pinetren bands and half high, which is bigher nor an elephant stands-in the ring of a cirkiss,’” out the whole coucern, and rushed te ses Pierce whom be “voted for an’ would agin’? Toe owner of the plethoric oxen but up shop and climbed s lamp post next to the proprietor of the “young lady with beard aad whiskers, the greatert nat’ral curiosity ju the known world.’ The individual who takes people all the way to San Francitco for twenty-fira cents dismissed the audience who hed been Juxuriating in the uorolling of the greatest ‘Panormy of San Francisco, California, which ever was seen.” And from out of every bar row poured @ crowd anxious to see and honor the chief magistrate of the nation. His appearance sftirprised them, too, as be rode along on his xplendid black charger, flanked by the Washiogton Greys, ‘Why, he’son @ horse,’’ said one. ‘Yes, outside,” remarked hia nel; tor. ‘That's him! “Three cheers for the President hurrab! burreh! hurrah!) + Such wan the anxiety of the people to nee the Presi- dent tbat they rushed up to the dragoons and were beatem back by their sabres, While the President made a short stey at Mess & Villaman’s saloon, opposite the Sixth avenue entrance of the Falsce, the crowd pressed around so clovely that the windows were in danger. The President's interview with one of the proprietors was brief. ‘veral SaNpFoRD eaid—This is the President. Prornietor, (very obsoquious aud very French)— Abt ba—I am so glad that I shall see your Excellence in my house. The President did not wait for compliments, bat hay- ing drank » gles of water, with just enough of brandy te kill the insects, walked through the crowd, which wae now very dense. ‘How old he looks,” ssidone. “He's only forty-eight; but he’s grown very old in a year,” wae the answer. ‘How well he rides.” “Why shouldn’t he, isn’t he # general?’ “Not much of one, either.’’ Some- body's hav here knocked over somebody’s eyes. “There he gces up the step+!’’ “Hurrah! hurrah! hur- rahi” “See him, with General Sandford.” Aa the Preei- dent reached the upper step of the flight of eight the multitude presented a most interesting scene. The long line of soldiers, the brilliant uniforms, and prancing obi rs of the staff—the gay dresses of the ladies—the streaming flags, pennants, and banners—the (pressing, rushing, swaying, waving crowd, hardly to be restrained by the sabres of the cavalry or the axes of the pioneers —the epthusiastic shout mingling with the merry laugh. or jovial jest commingled with the fine weather, and charming situation<the noble Palace with our flag waving triumphantly amid the shouts of twenty thow sand people, ard the strains of martial music, made up a view which is enjoyed but once ia a li’etime, ‘The President having entered the Palace the majrrity of the crowd left In ail this time and with all these people our reporter was not witness to any palpable breach of the peace, Peace, goodwill, and courtesy, seemed the order of the day, Whata country!

The New York Crystal Palace for the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations was inaugurated yesterday, ta the presence of the Chief Magistrate of the Republie ard a large coveoure of people, among whom werea jarge number of distinguished foreigners, and many omi- Lent citizens of our own country. Long before ten o'clock, the appointed hour for open- ing, hundreds of axxtous expectants were waiting at the docrs for admission. It seemed as if their patience could not endure one minute, so eager were they to get glimpse of the interior of the building and the varied Productions therein exhibited. When st last the long- exyccted hour arrived an immense crowd poured into the navor, and ins brief time occupied all the available points which afforded a view of the imposing ceremony of the inaugcration, The four grand steirwaya leading from the centre of the building to the galleries were thronged with ladies and gentlomen, and the aisles were ulso cronded. The galleries were linsd with amarray of beauty and fashion which we have never seen surpecsed at any public a:semblage in Now York, and the whole im- terior, with the immense domo, towering to the of more than a bundred fe ., » ated one of the most brilliant spectacles upon whir ayo ever rested, Ia the centre of tie building colqasal statue of Washington, the firs) most prominent objec & that strikes the spectator on extering, ar’ @ fow feet fom it is ploee@ the ettve of Qolumbas, ‘Tris to os th
