THE PRESIDENT AT BOSTON.

~ THE PRESIDENT Al BUSH
The reception Of President Jackson yesterday
was most gratifying spectacle. There Mas as
much enthusiasm evnced BY ouceitixens on the
occasion a. was necessary-certslniy ~ mue" a.
the President, plain republican, could nave ae'
sired. The arrangements which had been pre-
viousIy adopted were all carried into elect WIN
great promptness and success, and not 40 ACCT
dent occurred to mar the hilslity OF the scene.
At four o'clock the President and HE retinse,
consisting of the Vice President, Messrs. Wood.
bury, Cass, his private Secretary, and number
of other gentlemen, we're met at the line on Rox-
bury neck, by the committee Of the City Coun.
Gil appointed for that purpose, who gave them
hearty welcome. The Mayor delivered short
address, 10 which the President made an appro-
pirate reply. Complimentary words also passed
between the Chief Marshal and the President, all
Of which we shall probably see in print hereafter
These ceremonies having been performed, the
procession moved OH. through Washington street,
towards the Common-the whole under hand
some military escort, commanded by Brigadier
General Tyler.
The Aldermen and Common Councilmen pre-
coded the companies, in barouches, carriages,
&c. After the escort, came the officers OF the
third Brigade, mounted Then followed about
| three hundred tryckmen, mounted and handsome.
| " dressed in white frocks-and a barber set OF
men we have seldom seen. A cavalcade OF hve
| or six hundred citizens closed the procession,
which was very imposing one, land which extend
ed nearly mile in length. The procession pass
ed through Washington g. Boylston streets to the
Common, where the pupils Of the public schools,
male and female-and the fire department, in
full force and the most perfect order-were pa
raded This was decidedly the most interesting
part Of the exhibition, aud one. we hear, which
very sensby affected the President.
Passing from the Common, the procession
proceeded through Winter, Washington, State,
Commercial and South Market streets. Cornhiil
and Tremont.stfeet to the fremont House.
where the President alshted, apparently not
much fatigued by the arduoos duty which had
been required of him.
While the procession was moving, salutes
were fired at different stations-the flags OF the
shipping were di,played-and there were olher
appropr late demonstrations Of respect to the
Chief Magistrate Of the nation. The side walks
of the streets through which the PROCESSION pas
sed were crowded by well dressed and orderly
citizens, who constantly cheered the President
and the windows were crowded by ladies, who
made handsome display Of their teeth and
handkerchpfs as the old hero bowed to them
from the barouche in which he rode with the
Mayor On the whole, every thing went OF well
even the young gentlemen who were thrown
from their horses tell without sustaining any IN

There was light shower of rain during the
afternoon, but that was intended merely to whel
the appeti,es of'the City Authorities, who dined
together at the fremont House at o'clock, and
Of the Marshals, who had champagne and oys
ters prepared tor them about the same hour at
the Exchange Cuffee Hnuse. The City pays the
fexpense. To day the State has to sweat for 1t,
in similar manner. Never let il be said, after
this, that republics are ungratefuI. The Pres'.
dent was to dine with the City Authorities, and
afterwards intended to visit the Theatre.
The apartments al the fremont House, tor
the accommodation OF the President and suite,
are furnished with entirely new furniture pro
cured for the OCCASION The floors are covered
with splendid Brussels carpeting, the couches
and chairs with crimson flush, centre tables with
marble tops; one We noticed was beautifully in.
laid with great variety Of minerals. The tur-
ni,ure is not gaudy, but Of the most perfect
workmanship, and extremely neat. The bed
curtains of the Presidents sleeping apartment
are Of silk damask; and indeed the whole ar
rangement reflects much credit upon the taste
and judgment Of the Committee who superlntend.
