MR. CLAWS PResREss PROM ALBANY TO PoUGH-
KEEPsIE.-The reception ofMr. Clay at Poughkeepsie
on Monday splendid, but the arrangements were
rather badly made. On Monday morning Mr.. Clay
embarked on board the Erie, Capt. Benson, about
nine o'clock He accompanied to the boat BY a
committee, besides about 100 persons loafers and all
included. In consequence of the fog the Troy boat
which connects with the Albany line, did not bring

aground, and scows empIoyed,t to take the ira
veers down to the Erie. This accident delay ed the
latter boat till o'clock at which hour started

noise from those persons standing on the wharf.
We proceeded down the river. AT many Of the
landings guns fred and ether demonstrations Of

his friends at the wharf at Rhinebeck. When he
left the Erie, not shout or a hurra was raised On
the promenade deck, large company Of the passen-

whom were the learned Counsellor Griffin and the
Hon John A. King, Of Long Island. The silence
with which Mr.. Clay left the Erie struck the Coun-
