Long before the bour at which the Filth was expected to arrive the vicinity of the wharf at the foot of Cortlandt strest was thronged with people. The tmpresasion had gone abroad that the Seventh New York would recetye and entertain the Balttmoreans vefore their departure, but sach was not the case, aa no formal reception occurred, although many of the oficers and members of the Seventh were present at the dock te bid them welcome.

As the steamer moved out from the baad strack up, “HOW CAN I LRAVE THER?” and the throng whicn had congregated gave the regiment a right hearty ‘‘three-times-tnree.” Tne Filth will remain tn Loston antil Friday morning, when it will retarm here, and im ail probably wili mareh through Broadway before leaving the city.
