nut a snort time succeeaea -meutenant-ueneral
Stransham as Inspector-General of the Royal Marines
when he resigned the post, somewhat to the surprise
of the public. It would seem that he was not in
good health. He had seen a good deal of service.
He joined the battalion during the Carlist
war ; he obtained a medal for his services on
the coast of Syria in 1841. He served in the
Baltic expedition in 1854-5, and received a medal

of the Takoo Forts, and at the subsequent operations
which resulted in the occupation of Pekin. For
these services he obtained brevet-major, was twice
mentioned in the despatches, was made a C. 8., and
received a medal and three clasps. He was subse-
quently appointed Assistant Adjutant-General, and
then Inspector-General Royal Marines.

THE INAUGURATION.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)

Seldom has Washington presented a more gay
and excited scene than on the 4th March. The
city of magnificent distances had not space in it
wide avenues for the throngs. Brass bands, string
bands, drum bands, firemen, Zouave;, glee clubs,
Grant clubs, Tanners, Wideawakes, Volunteer
corps, militia corps, the regular army, Irish, Ger-
mans, Negroes, the man from the Rio Grande, and
the Green Mountain Boy, the Califorrian and the

New York loafer, the Southern chivalry and the
Massachusetts scholar, elbowed and pushed while
a great procession formed to do honour to the
nation's choice. Many remembered former inaugura-
tions and contrasted them with this mighty gather-
ing and grand display. One writes, " When Jef-
ferson was inaugurated, he rode to the Capitol on
horeback. No friends accompanied him, and no
procession filled the streets. I was a mere boy
then ; but I remember all the facts. When he
reached,the Capitol, he dismounted, and with his
own hands tied his horse to the fence. He then
went in and took the oath of office, returning in
the same manner." At about 10 o'clock the pro-
cession formed between the White House and the
Georgetown line, to which the organizations ex-
tended. The chief point of interest at this time
was General Grant's headquarters, in the vicinity of
which a large crowd had collected. At 10.45 Gene-
ral Grant appeared and took his seat in his own
carriage, which was in waiting. He wore a dark
suit, black silk hat, dark blue overcoat, and black
pantaloons, and bore the gaze of the people with
a composure befitting the day set apart for the
greatest event of his life. The park phw on in
which he sat bore his monogram on the side
panels. Seated by his side was General Rawlings,
his Chief of Staff and firm friend. In the car-
riages which followed were the Vice-President elect,
Senators Cragin and M'Creery, Admiral Bailey,
and the remaining members of his Staff, Gene-
ral Badeau and Dent and Colonels Webster and
Leet. Under the escort of the United States

troops, commanded by Col. Wallace, consisting of
a detachment of cavalry, the carriages were
driven to the front of the 14 hite House. The in-

fantry detailed to perform escort duty were in line
on the avenue, and saluted the party in the usual
manner. Contrary to the general expectation,
President Johnson did not join the procession, which
also lacked another feature--a Cabinet, the seven
wise men following the example of their chief in
avoiding a participation in the ceremonies of the
day. The procession was in motion at 114 o'clock.
Brevet Major- Gen. A. S. Webb, the Grand Mar-
shal, had for his aides Major E. B. Russell, Captain
Eugene Wells, Wm. Remsen, Major R. M. Hill,
Col. Know, Col. Graves, Gen. H. H. Bingatn ;
Capt. S. C. Plummer, Albert Delafield, Colonel
Thomas, J. Hoyt, Capt. R. H. Montgomery, Capt.
A. W. Preston, Willie A. Harlan, Lieut. Story,
Lieut. Totten, Thomas M. Shepherd, Lieut. Met-
calf, Lieut. Garrison, Major Gardner, Lieut. Gray,
Mr. M‘Blair, and Col. M'Nett. The first division
was commanded by Colonel C. W. Wallace ; the
second by Chief-Deputy Marshal Col. Jas. A. Mag-
ruder ; the third by Chief-Deputy Marshal Gen.
Gallatin Lawrence; the fourth by C. D. M. Major
Church Howe ; fifth by C. D. M. General James
A. Ekin ; sixth division by Chief Deputy Marshal J.
Abendroth ; seventh division, by C. D. M. Ge-
neral J. H. O'Beirne; eighth division, C.D.M.
K. C. Clary. The brilliant procession passed
up the avenue, and midst the din of artillery, the
wind of drum and timbrel, entered the Capitol un-
dismayed by the rain and mud. The gallerie3 pre-
sented a most brilliant spectacle. The ladies pre-
dominated in number, and one vast panorama of
pink and blue, interspersed with lovely faces and
bright eyes, was the scene presented to the specta-
tor. Mrs. Grant, and her son in cadet uniform,
were there, so were also Mrs. Colfax, Mrs. Wade,
Mr. and Miss Matthews, Mrs. Thornton, wife of
the English Minister, Mrs. Ford, and Mrs. Kil-
patrick. Ben Butler, always safe .to be doing some-
thing uncommon, stalked into the Senate Chamber
late, with an unfinished cigar in one hand and his
broad black hat in the other, and Generals Sherman,

Thomas, Hancock, and Ferry, were in fun uniform ;
near them was Admiral Farragut, Gens. Sickles and
M'Dowell, Paymaster-General Brice, Generals
Butterfield, Ingalls, and Meigs, Vice-Admiral Por-
ter, General Heintzleman, and Rear-Admirals Tau-
brick, Smith, Goldsborougb, and Dahlgren, Rear-
Admirals Stringham and Stribling of the Charles-
town Navy Yard ; and on the right from the en-
trance were numerous Governors and ex-Governors
of States and Territories, Assistant Secretaries of
Departments, the Assistant Postmaster-General
the Assistant Attorney-General, and the Judge-
Advocate General, several Controllers, Auditors,and
Registers of the Treasury, and many solicitors of
the various Departments ; also, numerous Judges,
and the Mayor and ex-Mayor of Washington.
Generals Sherman and Hancock attracted much
attention, and the noble appearance of the former,
from whose face the old compressed, anxious, care-
worn look has quite vanished, was the subject of
frequent remark. The entrance of Mrs. Dr. Mary
Walker to the floor of the Senate, and the assign-
ment to her of a seat on the extreme right, under
the pursuivant protection of several old gentlemen,
created many remarks, and some criticism. The
ladies were curious to know what business she had
there, questioning the propriety of her thus thrust-
ing herself into the immediate proximity of Ex-
ecutive dignity. She was neatly but plainly dresSed
in dark-coloured garments, and her long hair
hung over her shoulders. The lady took notes
daintily, in an elegantly-bound reporting-case.
Baron Von Gerolt of Prussia headed the diplomats.
The Tribune describes Sir Edward Thornton as a
noble-looking Englishman, with thoughtful but
rather severe countenance, who now and then
stroked his white whiskers, and looked at the clock
anxiously Oa either side of him were ranged Mr.
Berthemy French Minister, with his attaches, the
Comte De Faverny and the Vicomte De Aulau ;
Waldemar De Bodisco, the Russian Secretary of
Legation, ad interim ; Senor De Altos, Portuguese
Minister; M. Maurice De la Fosse, Belgian Mini-
ster Resident ; Mr. Hitz, Political Agent of the
Swiss Government ; M. Rangabe, well-known for
his judicious representation in the United States of
Grecian affairs; Senor Garcia, of the Peruvian Lega-
tion ; Senor Don Valles, second Secretary of the
Spanish Legation ; M. Mazel, Representative of the
Netherlands; Mr. F. E. Belle, of the Danish Lega-
tion ; Senor Fontecilla, of Chili; Senor Mogaha-
gens, of Peru ; Senor Vela, of Guatemala ; Cay-
stano Romero, Acting Second Secretary of the
Mexican Legation ; General Acosta, of the United
States of Columbia ; and Senor Cortes, represent-
ing Venezuela. Beside Secretary Edward Thorn-
ton, there were present of the British Embassy,
Francis Clare Ford, First Secretary ; Mr. Pierce
Williams Freeman, and Mr. Vance, Second Secre-
taries ; Hon. Messrs. French, Howard, and Ward.
The hours of the Fortieth Congress were en led.
The Supreme Court, headed by Judge Chase, and
clad in flowing robes of black, entered and took
seats near the President's desk. Cheers and in-
describable 'confusion outside gave notice that the
inaugural procession had arrived, and that Grant
would soon appear on the Senate's floor. All
heads were turned toward the entrance near
President Wade's desk, and just upon the
stroke of twelve the door opened, and the hero
of the day, clad in a neatly-fitting black dress
suit, and wearing yellow kid gloves, entered un-

ceremoniously, and pointing to the chair in front a
the clerk's desk, seemed to inquire by a look if he
should take it. He was politely motioned to it,
was seated, and in a moment seemed utterly oblivi-
ous of the prying gaze of the thousands around
him. It was enough to make any ordinary man
nervous, but seemingly he moved not a muscle,
save when he looked curiously at this or that fea-
ture of the great occasion, doubtless as solemnly im-
pressive to him as it could possibly be to any around
him. Vice-Piesident Colfax appeared at the Presi
dent's desk and read his inaugural, and after a brief
and pointed address President Wade administered
the oath of office. Then the President, taking up the
mallet, announced that the Fortieth Congress had
ceased to exist, and the new President, taking the
mallet, called for the swearing in of the Senators; elect,
upon which ceremony General Grant looked with
interest. IVhen completed, the President of the
Senate gave node') that the pro,:ession would pro-
ceed to the platform on the Capitol front. The
view from the platform was very imposing. The

structure, draped in the national colours, seemed an
immense magnet to which th)usands of people Were
rapidly and irresistibly drawn. In the park,
front of the Capitol, the ground was ra-liant with
variegated toilettes, and all the trees bore ham°
fruit. The concomitants of procession arrested hero
and the: e, made the scene very picturesque. WO
was a fragment of a Zouave company on one hand'
a line of cavalry not far away, an artillery train
advancing in the distance, and there a long array of
muscular firemen. The rain had ceased when,
General Grant reached the platform, and he gaze'
for some little time at the scene before hiin with
evident astonishment, and he may well have dole
so, for not even the most enthusiastic expected such
a spectacle. He then took his seat between the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate and Chief Justice,
Chase. The Committee of Arrangements occuPle3,
the place President Johnson would have used
had he been present. The Associate Justices
of the Supreme Court, and Vice-President Col"
fax, and the Secretary and members of the
Senate, were seated still further to the rear'
The Diplomatic Corp 3 were assigned seats nest
in order, and the remainder of the processiett
was disposed about on the left and right. After
the shouts of the crowd and the thunder of the
salvoes of artillery had ceased, in a low voice be
read his inaugural. Ex-President Johnson being
ill, had all day kept his room in the house of
John F. Coyle, whose guest he is till he leaves fot
rennessee. General Grant still remains in his orll
house, while the Executive mansion is being re;
decorated. The evening closed with the 'flange%
Ball, for which the limited number *of 1,500 ticket°
were issued, each admitting a gentleman and two
ladies, not to mention the invited guests! 0
ball was given in the United States Treasury, °ea
of the grandest granite structures in the world, 3°13
was on the same gigantic scale as everything ei'
done in Washington on this day to be remembered'
ss inaugurating a new era.
