The New York papers Of Saturday

val p, oduced quite a sensation. The
Gazette states that about half past two

a first look at this distinguished War

in the boat attached to the Peoples
Line, and in time to witness the ascent
Iof the Balloon. Immediately after
the balloon had cleared the walls Of
the Castle and Mr.. Durant rnfc rlcd

he thought Of the ascension, to which
he instantly replied, ''That man is a
great bravc-''Don't think he will
ever get back As the balloon con-
tinued to ascend, and after it had gone

was, "Cant form any idea, bu, think he
can go up to the clouds if he choose"
After the balloon began to descend, the

to the landing, and in passing the Cas-

Painful INrELLIGENcr.-We learn
with regret that the brig Ajax, fifteen
days from New Orleans, bound to Ii
IBERIA, with nearly one hundred and
fifty emigrants on board, has been
compelled to put into hey West in
distress. She lost her mate and two
blacks when she had been only two
days out; and the ship carpenter on
board reported that thirty or forty OF
the emigrants died Of the cholera,
whilst the brig was anchored off the
town. They are said to have been rs
fine set Of emigrants as ever left this
country. One hundred Of these were
from kentucly-of whom ninety six
were slaves and had been manumit-
ted upon condition Of their departa-
ton to Monrovia. Forty were from
Tennessee, and the residue from Ohio.
Among those from Kentucky, was a
female brought up by Mrs. Wickliffe,
who possessed a superior education
and gifted mind, and who was intended
for teacher in Liberia.
The Ajax left Key West on the 10th

that time there had been from ten to
fifteen cases in the town, nine of which
had proved fatal, out of population
Of two hundred. No case had occur

The President. on his passage ur

welcomed as in Philadelphia; where
his appearance and manners won him
much more than the respect Of his fel-

Thursdays Pennsy lvanian; and We can
assure our readers that it is m,nutclv
correct:-
The President was informed bv a
gentleman on board, that it was said
tina. Bishop White Of Pennsylvania.
had endeavored on Monday morning
to obtain access to independence Hall:
for the purpose Of paying his respects,
but that he had been prevented by the
density and commotion of the crowd.
The President appeared much chag-
rined, and said, ssThe venerable Bish-
oP White; he that was Chaplain to
the Continental Congress. He is a
truly excellent and great man. If 1
had been informed Of the fact at the
time, ! would have made it my bust
ness to go out and see him" He then
turned to one Of the gentlemen Of the
Philadelphia Committee. and askedif
he would be kind enough to cab upon
the Bishop. express his regrets, and
say that meeting would give much
pleasure to at least one Of the parties.
The crowd that prevented the Bish-
op from entering the room, was COM
posed chiefly ofboys. When the ven
cradle gentleman turned to retire, a
lane was formed for him, and he was
treated with the respect due to bis age,
station, and character.
