Inc result of the interview of the New York Com
mlstee with President Van Bsren, and they have been
eagerly expecting them, ever since they were ap-
pointed. But little hope, however is entertained Of
their The general impression is that nothing
Will be done by the Executive, and that is inferred
from the rude language OF the administration press
OF .hls clty ana rom certain analogous gvings OUT
OF the cabinet members. Kendall daily pours out
his cold blooded slang about democracy federal hum
bug, Pahc, &c. In the columns of the Globe If the
President follows the advice of his organ" the COM
mlttce Will not be received very courteously They
are not to expect any thing from him, because tbev
opposed his election, and il is looked upon as arro-
gance and presumption to attempt to ask him to pay
little attention the deporable condition Of the
country. And this is a republic! bah Van Buren,
wears his usual smile; is just full Of self conpla
sance as ever, and seems to think that no govern
ment could be better administered than this govern
men is at present. The Globe and its caterers make
him believe that the country is enjoying unexampled
prosperlty-the democratic party is triunphant-his
friends are in comfortable offices, and well paid and
that there can be no such thing as distress press
ure Forsyth wears his habitual grin-looks killing
ly upon the ladiss-ses his nankeeps to the best
advantage himself occasionally with Mrs.
D and treats the complaints of his counuymeB,
who are writing in the agonles Of DEATH with inef
fable contempt. Kendall is laborng in the columns
OF the Globe to perRetuate the delusion which has
existed for years and should he live, to become
the ruler Of this country. Blair with his $780, 600 per
annam Tor banboszng the people, looks more con-
seqsential than ever; seems to regard himself the
director and controller of public sentment-as the
great Pope of Democracy and the press and daily
sacrlhcss neckatombs Of flies and animalculH, by
keeping his mouth, a living sepalcre perpetually
open, for the good Of the party. The COMMITTEE is
expected this evening.
Last night, being the first of May, an annual fes-
val was gwen by professor of dancing, Sianor
Caruss, which all the children of this city, Of Bota,
sexes and every age attended. 1t was as usual a
splendid scene and the children Of" greater growth"
seemed to enjoy 1t as much as those for whose plea
sure and improvement it was intended. The queen
OF May was crowned, and escorted TO an. from the
throne, bya number Of beautiful little creatures fam
cifuly and tastefully dressed, Floras and maids
Of honor. The eve Of the young glistened with Joy
and that Of the old beamed with delight. 1t is quite
fairy scene, where the little nnocents in all the
carelessness of infancy and the buoyancy and exhi-
lnatlon Of health, trip it, on what may be emphat-
cally called the slight fantastic toe" Those too
much more advanced in years who go to see the ami
mating ard Joyous spectacle, to protect their
der BROOD enter into the spirit of the scene and seem
to participate in all its pleasures The beau and the
belle, after long relaxation from the tools Of fash
ion during the winter, flock to the annual May ball,
TO renew their iratons, enjoy the pleasure of the
dance, and of social intercourse; and these occupy
as much space, and are often the floor as their
younger friends ! noticed at this ball many Of the
fashionables and blasse had seep fguering in other
scenes dnring the past winter. Among the strangers
was German nobeman who attempted to waltz
with beautiful young lady Of this city, but it
done most detestably and awkwardly. Some of the
cabinet also attended and realized TO certain de-
gree, the truth of the pressure but it pressure
oil Wnlch no one could complain
