~ his occasion we observed among the crowd
tho charming CELESTE the very genius of grace and
subbmty in the art TO which her whole life has been
devoted There she was sitting quietly on seat, with
Young sister on one side, and pretty little daughter
playing with a delicate fairy like Italian greyhound
on the other. Celeste was leaving the country where
she had risen 10 wealth and emincnce in her profess
sion-where audiences audiences ldollscd her-
where her home and her heart Were 10 be-but she
was leaving it TO return. She was mute and quiet
gazing on the mrrored water, sometimes FAINT
smile gliding over her expressive features
Among the crowd was also to be seen another be-
ing of genus-J J. AUDUBON the greatest naturalist OF
the age-an American by birth, heart, affections and
passions He was gliding here and ihere-loohlng
hilher and thther-his fine classic features, lofty
brow eagle eye beautiful Roman nose-hls whole
countenance lighted mp with ardor and enthusiasm
Around were The friends Of the roydgeurs, male
and female, quietly looking on and trying TO make
cheerful the dropping spirits created by separation

i,s magnificent ivan Buren, squares" and splendid
Benton palaces"
About two O clock the steamer approached the noble
ship, then quietly sleeping on the wave, with her
sails and just ready TO spread to the breeze
The England started up were rubbed Hut
tered her wisgs and looked as saying" all ready
The sailors could be seen moving about aloft no big
Ger than rats without tails, as they appeared to the

their friends glded along Se boat-mounted the slip
perry sleps-passed over the wheel house and de-
seconded into the capacious deck Of the England.
i In a few minutes all were aboard-but rs the wind
was light and contrary, the steamer embraced the
England, like lover unwilling to part from his be
loved, and away they went, embracing and embraced
many miles out TO sea, far beyond Sandy Hook ant
throwing even the mountains of Neversnk far behinc
them.

AT this moment the deck of the England presented
a picturesque scene There stood Celeste with he
little daughter gazing quietly on the broad expansc o
sky and that spread before her to eternity
Lere was Audubon the upper balwark, lookins
through his eagle eye on the same scene. Along the
forecaslle were strewed people of all nat,ons-old
men in their last pair Of breeches-old women in ,he
last petiicoats-young women going back To German,
with pipe between their lps-somc sitting, som,
