INTERVIEW WITH EX-rRESlDHNf AID.


Extract of a Leiter, received In CAnrleston
Yesterday accompanied by my friend T.,
paid visit to the venerable OK President, at his
res, icnce in Quincy. A violent rain setting in as
soon us we arrived, gave us from to o'clock, to
listen TO the learning Of this man % books. His
residence is plain, very plain, onc-the room IN
to which NC were ushercd Che drawing room |

it is probably of ancient construction percciv-

ing, in the manner of the beams in n ships cabin
Prints commemorative OF political events, and old
family portraits hung around the room common
straw mating covered the floor ; and two candle
sticks, bearing sperm candles, ornamcnted the man

idcnt himself, corresponds with the simplicity Of
his furniture. lie resembles rather substantial,
well fed farmer, than one who had welded the dcs-
TIMES of this ghty confederation, and been bred
in the ceremony and etiquctte Of an European
Cour,-in fact, he appears to possess none of that
sternncss ofcharacter, which you would suppose 10
belong 10 one, large part of whose life has been
spent in political warfare, or at any rate, amidst
scenes requiring a vast deal OF nerve and iniexl-

She has all the warmth Of heart and ease of manner
which mark the character Of the Southern ladies'
and from whom it would he no easy matter 10 dis
inguish her
The exPrcsdent was the chief ticker. lie
spoke with infinite ease, dra wing upon ms vast re
sources with the certainty of one who has his lee
,ure before him ready written The whole of his
conversation, which steadily he maintained for
nearly four hours, was continued stream of light
We'll conten,ed was | to be n listener. Ills sub.
jccts were the Architecture of the middle ases the
stained glass of that period sculpture, embracing
monuments particularly. On this subject, his o.
! Union of MIS- NIGHTlNGLE's monument IN West
minister Abbey differs from all others that have
either seen or heard. He places II above every
Other in the Abbey, and observed, in relation TO IT.,
hat the spectator saw nothing else" Milton,
Shakespeare, Shens! one, Pope, Byron and Southcy,
were in turn remarked upon. He gave Pope n
wonderfully high character, and remarked that one
ofhis chief beauties was the skill exhibited in
rying the ceesural pause, quoting from various
/ carts Of his author TO illustrate his remarks more
fuy He said very little on the politics of the
county lie spoke at considerable length Of Burke
and Sheridan, both of whom he had heard, and
could describe with the most graphic effect.-tIe
also spoke of Junius and ii is remarkable that he
should place him very far above the best of his
contemporaries. He spoke Of him as bad man
bu, maintained, tina, as writer he had never been
equalled.

CURING; BUTTER.


A WRITER, signing himself Old Duchess"
says batter should be cured without the aid of wa

Ion, experience, is as follows; When the butter
comes from the churn, put it in clean wooden
bawl, ard with wooden butter lAdle proceed to
work IT, 10y breaking i down at the sides and turn
ing off the wiley which is separated in the pro 'css;
at the same time strew the sal, by degrees, 50

working it thus until the butiermilt is apparently
all worked out Put it then by in cold cellar
till next morning. by which time the sal, is dIsso
we'd, when the adle is TO be again applied and con-
ti,ued as long rs any bu,ter-mlk can be separated
The butter is then fit for use or laying down. For
preserving, s'one-ware ars are preferable as they
impart no taste to the butter and exclude the air.
Pack down the butter without any salt between
the layers. and cover with two inche. Of strong
brine, previously BOILED, SKINNED and suffered to
become cold If a scum should afterwards appear
on the bl inc, which viii sometimes happen in damp
cellars, renew the pickle The impurities which
rise TO the surface while boiling, or are found in
the residuum at the bottom, far greater than a.
ny one wouli suppose who is rot IN the habit OF
boiling his brine for meats butter &c. Butter thus
manufactured and cured will keep a twelvemonth
or more, perfectly sweet and the rich decacy OF
favor impaired to that made IN May and June, by
the young heritage, will be in great measure pre-
served 1t is compact, without being TOO adhesive ;

In the Senate yesterday, among the petitions
presented was one by Mr. SHEPLEY, of Me-:
from certain citizens of that state praying for
the abolition of Slavery in the District OF Co
lumbia, which he moved to refer to the Com
mittee on the District This being objected to
by Mr.. PRESTON, of S. c., Mr.. CHAMBERS
assured that gentleman that the Committee had
already considered this subject, and were OF
opinion that these petitions We're only the mis-
guided efforts of visionary men. MIR. PRES
TON was satisfied and the reference ordered
Mr.. SOUTHARD resumed and continued
his speech on the subject of the Removal of
the Deposites, which was characterized by
great force Of expression and strength of ar
gument. After speaking for some time, MIR.
SOUTHARD gave way for motion for ad-
journment and the Senate adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives, after the
usual morning business Mr.. BINNEY took the
floor, and concluded his able speech. The con-
clusion was most eloquent and impressive. 1t
shall be given hereafter.
Mr. CAMBRELENG, ofNew York, then took
the floor, and moved the Previous Question.
The House refused, bv vote of 10 to SO, to
order the Previous Question.
Mr.. CAMBRELENG then took the floor to
reply to MIR. BINNEY; but gave way for mo-
tionof Mr.. POLK to take up several appropria-
ton bills-for the Naval Service-for Indian
Affairs-in which considerable progress was
made and then the House adjourned.

The Steward then removed pannel of the
outer coffin, and taking from the leaden one
small movable sheet of this metal which cover

was enabled to recognise the countenance Cor

said, j am satisfied and gave certificate of
the same in due form. The Captain fthe Ho-

loud voice called the King three times, saying,
Sire, Sire, Sire pause ensued, and then
the Captain turning to the officers present, said,
The King is dead;' whereupon he broke his
baton, and scattered the pieces on the ground.
After few other ceremonies of less interest,
