OF his friends. When beautiful Victoria Va, srowu
ed, she sat On her throse i. the centre Of wessmn
ster Abbey, and received the obsisanee of her bish
ops and peers Mr. Clay stood up at full length and
received the congratulations of az beautiful women
and as talented and splendid men. Among them wa.
the Rev Mr. Bsthu.e, Of Phadelph ia, who, by smok.
ing segars under the trees, and whistling Yanhss
Doodle round the corners, may be considered the
Archbishop the OCCASION and Philip Hone he Earl
Marshal Of all America. From every direction the
ladies' crowded around Mr.. Clay, and he received
them all in the gracious and beings manner He
was dressed in a common black coat black bomba-
zine pant lsons-his hair straight and sareless-and
his countenancs bronzed by the, sun. Among others
who went up to his Imperial Majesty Of all the
wings, was the gallant General Scott, which was
done with much grace and digaity that it divided
the attention Of the assembly from Mr.. Clay.
At seven o'clock Mr.. Clay took his seat very quiz
city and modestly at the same table, where Mr..
Van Buren, sat, and about two dozen removes from
his seat. After tea, Mr. Clay again made his appear
in the drawing room, and again string Of pre-
sensations took place. In the evening the grand
ronatioa ball took place, which must postpone
again, for the want of room-for mean to do ample
justice to that most beautiful Of all balls that have
ever yet seen at Saratoga. Probably aboat 1000
persons the very elite Of the country were present
four hundred of them the greatest collection Of fs-
male beauty, taste, dress, wealth and accomplish
ments, ever yet seen in the United States. Every
state in the Union represented" Yes" said
General Scott in the drawing room, 1T may be call
ed Union ball. and will doubtless lead to many plea
SAINT unions"
And thus closed the entrance, reception, Grafton,
and elegant coronation Of Mr. Clay. 1t is one Of the
ali hat has ali
country since the revolution. The imperial crown
used on this occasion was constructed, learn BY
beautiful Young lady Of Scheneetady-and, / sup
pose, under the spperntendence of committee of
somebody. Yesterday, at dinner, Mr.. Clay explain
ed mis- motives to the fair who sits opposite to
him at table, why he put aside the crown. So did
Julius Cesar when he put the Roman coronet aside;
and did the people shout. 1t is evident that
great rev oution is going on-we ripening every
day, and in few years will be fit to make Empe-
at Be il as it may-lke Brutus, shall yet
stick to the republic. After | saw all the solemn
fooleries Of this humbag coronation, Immediately
marked up my candidate full 20 per cent advance In
all the folly and nonsense counteaanced BY Mr. Van
Buren, and Mr. Clay, General Sect conducts himself
with infinite modesty, skill, and wisdom. Wen
see what we shall see.

one surpassed both Ciay's and Van
Buren's put together.
