Dispatches till about halfpast 10 o'clock, whea ne
washed his hands, put on his hat and walked % the
lawn to wait for the ladies.
About III he took the arm OF Miss kembe, and
walked down to Mr.. Kembe's boat house, where
Major Delafields barge in waiting for him, with
four soldiers to rev 1t. His Majesty entered first,
and received the lady; Major Delaheld and Mr.
Hunter joined them, and the barge put of. Mr.
Kcmble followed next, in beautiful little beat, after
resignng to the charge of Ariel his two beautiful
little nieces and his avorite beat, rowed by his fa
vorite coxswain, Theodore Foster, who was one OF
the six that won the first prize at the Newburgh
regatta in the Laftte, the entire Of which was
made up of Mr.. Kemble's boys.
In this order the boats swept out the broad and
beautiful surface Of the Hudson; the shone
splendidly, and there quiet and happiness in
every bosom but that of His Majesty The boat with
Ariel and the sweet girls soon passed Mr. Kemble's
boat, and was ranging alongside the Presidents
barge when Mr.. Kemble, waving his hand, excaim-
ed, "Theodore fall back, don't pass the President"
To this Theodore replied, "Do let me crowd him
little SIR" "No," said Mr.. Kemblc, sby no means;
III be crowded enough before long" swell" said
Theodore, al rowed General Scott across the other
day, and if had him now, l guess I'D crowd
Mr.. Van Buren,; but ! expect General Scott will
crowd him" And Theodore was right; General
Scott will crowd him out Of the presidential chair
before long.
The three boats reached the United States wharf
abreast of each other and about thirty cadets were
drawn up to receive His Majesty, the ladies, Mr..
Kemble, Ariel, and John Hunter. Major Delafeld
took the arm Of His Highness, and took station be-
tween the band Of the Point and the thirty cadets;
the band played "Of she goes" and all marched up
~ n \ e. FL. -
the balance Of the four classes of cadets all about
two hundred and twenty, were drawn up in column.
As soon as the President reached their front, pa
tiona salute was fred; and such q salute, God help
us, was never fred before since. 1t was bang
fz bang pop-bang-fz-a and so on
along the line. The very devil seemed in the guns.
The officers swore-the cadets sweated, and at last
they fired the twenty-sixth gun-bang-and then
another; the twenty-seventh gun went off with
loud eport g Stop that firing said Major Della
field, "and enquire what that twenty seventh gun
was fired fort" The officer went and returned and
reported that the twenty-seventh gun had been fired
for Benefits Herald. At this there was a great
laugh and great commotion, and we were told that
the cadet was put under arrest.
Then came very funny scene Major Delafeld
and His Majesty walked over the ground, strutting
like two little bantam cocks quizzed by the ladies
most numerically. His Majesty walked bare head
ed, and Major Delafield, alias Dicky the Punster,
looked all head and epaulettes.
Sure such pair seem"
They strutted into the Majors little house, where
out a mahogany table-wine being luxury which
the self-denying Dicky Delafed, the doughty Dugad
Dalgetty dsciplinarian, denies to every one out him
self BY this time about 30 very beautiful ladies had
assembled the green in front Of the Majors little
house, but neither His Majesty nor Dicky the pun.
ster had the politeness to walk out Of the brolng
sun. There sat His Majesty slipping on sofa, and
there stood twenty thirty lovely ladies broing in
MONDAY sun, without experiencing kind look or
word Of civility from sou except Mr.. Kemble, who
chatted politely with two or three. Had this been
at Gen. Wards, or Col. Hunters, or Mr.. Kemble's,
the would have been very different. As il was,
the ladies waited to be invited to pay their respects
to His Republican Highness until they were tred;-
President sat- turned up their beautiful him,
turned out their pretty feet-eft face, and marched
to their respective quarters. Prince smith Van Blu
rem took the arm Of very pretty girl in white. and
her, chatting soft nonsense and delicate nothings,
until they grew almost enamoured of each other.
His Majesty then strutted out with Dicky the
punster, and reviewed the cadets; and sach review
God deliver from seeing another like it
The cadets are fine noble fellows and went through
their exercises we'll; but both His Majesty and the
Major looked so insignificant and ignorant, that
they afforded all present food for laughter for an
hour Before His Majesty left, he had the line
broken into companies, and walked in and out, in
and out, zig zig, zig gag round about the whole Of
them. After which about 20 officers and cadets
were selected to drink wine with him, and the COM
panies broke up. His Majesty was then taken TO
the cadets eat and the instant he their food
he felt afraid lest the Major should invite him to
dine of the same mess of Psttage; whereupon he
faced right about, and saying Major Dclafed i
wish you good day; must go; never mind any
cort;' and taking the arms Of Mr. Kenble and Mr.
Hunter, walked down the hill in double quick time
and in few minutes rowed over to Cold Spring
Soon after landings His Majesty went over the
works, which shall describe fully at future time
He appeared to inquire particularly about the aggre
gate number of workmen, and when tsd that there
were nearly 400, he appeared delighted. He inquired
particularly after the health OF all he spoke to and
how their relations were. He gave two little boys
60 gold piece each, kissed three four little girls
has kissed another childr' admired half dozen
squalng babies in their mothers arms, spoke highly
Of the workers in iron and Brass Of the benefits Of
the metals when circulated, the worth Of metallic
currency, the value Of the laboring man, and above
ALL he noticed In the most favorable manner the ce-
LIBERATED trip hammer, spoken Of by Mrs Paulding,
in that excellent old ady's letter TO Mr. Ingersell
But when he Ariel at his elbow, he left of speak
ing OF the trip hammer, and turned towards the
house.
The dinner that day was a curious one; all the
neighborhood was ransacked for eatables and spe-
ciai messenger was sent TO the American Hotel, New
York, for turtle soup, which was prepared fer the
occasion; and OF which the wings partook literally,
and seat the leavngs to Cold Springs. curious
company were assembled there that evening. There
were few locoocos there Of the very lowest order;
there were few, a very few, Of the old noblesse
there; some very beautiful girls, few common
