ment of that conflict, were attached to the New
York regiment, commanded by Col. McDou-
gall, and who all served in the daring though
unfortunate expedition of Montgomery against
Quebec, viz: Captain Willett, Capt. Yarick,
[ Military Secretary OF Maj. General Schuylcr,)
Lieut. Platt, (acting Adjutant Generally and
Lieut. Bleccker.--To shew the anxiety oil the
surviving veterans to greet their old companion,
W q mention the fact that an express was sent OIL
to Mai. Gen. Philip Van Courtlandt, of West
chester, a distance of ~ miles, which arrived
during Sunday night; and at 9 O'Clock, the Cen.
who rs 80 years of age, embarked on board the
Chancellor, having travelled the whole distance
over la,xs The Generals enquiries after many
Of his old companions, were numerous; and IN
speaking of General Hamilton, having learnt
that the widow yet survives, he was prompt to
call upon her at 9 O'Clock, last evening.
Acurious circumstance Occurred in the ele-
ments at Station Island, on Sunday afternoon,
which in a superstitious age and country, might
have been regarded as happy omen. A heavy
shower arose about a O'clock; but the thick
black cloud passed over Station Island, it sepa
| rated and while the rain dccesccuded in tor
rents i'm this city, and south of the Quarantine
Ground, the sun shone upon the seat of the
| Vice President, in all its brightness. After
passing the island the clouds again united,
and iris, perfect, bright and beauti-
full as ever was seen, appeard in the east, its

| at the Narrows, and the Battery.-Thus, as il
were, the very Heavens both wept and smiled
for Joy.
At sunset, Mr.. Gunther sent UP from Castle
Garden his balloon, representing the famous
horse Eclipse, mounted by an ancient knight i'll
armour, and the effect upon the assembled thou
sands was announced by general and ani,nating
huZzns.
Such is n faint outline'oi the proceedings of a
day which shines proudly in the annals of oul
country-proccedings which were more bril-.
liant than any that have ever been witnessed
in America, and viii rarely if ever be cqualled
1t was proud day for the cause of enlightened
and liberal principles. As to the pageant, we
should suppose from the accounts then publish
ed, that the landing Of the king of England, at
Leith ~ 1922, would form the nearest parallel.
But the occasion, and the circumstances were
widely different. No fuisome adulaton was
here extorted by the power ofspen,lour ofroy-
atty but every feeling and every movement
were the spontaneous bursts Of admiration and
: gratitude for the character and services of a
great benefactor of the whole civilized world
come among us in private capacity, and in
the unaffected attire of Republican simplicity.
