hereby fulfil. To do it yesterday impossible. -
His Democratic Majesty doubled and twisted in such
an extraordinary manner Sunday, that it was ut
terly impossible 10 keep pace with him. His move

making tracks in the direction of Alderman Halls
elegant mansion at Harlem, where it was given out
that he intended to dine; and we despatched Ariel
the rim Of sun cloud to collect the facts for in
following His Democratic Majesty, through his
windings, and turnings, and twistings, were too

dimmed with the atmosphe of locofocosm he had

threading many crooked streets and passages.
Ariel, however, did nobly, for he tracked His Re.

saw His Majesty enter about half an hour after
vice had begun, hanging the arm of Walter

The Imperial party entered the most narrow door,
and crossed and recrossed all the asles at different
angles, until he reached the aristocratic pew Of the
Right Reverend Father in God, DR.. Berrian, whose
pew is better than his preaching. The entrance Of
His Democratic Majesty was announced by the

Majesty, Martin the First, this occasion, with
hymn book in his hand, placed between parson " aim

parsons soon after tea and taking the arm Of the
queenly Mrs. -, walked down Varick 70 Frank

at Brighton noddng TO several distinguished leco-
focos his route, and adrotly overlooking all who
were ragged and breechesless. After very circuit
Gus route he reached his truly elegant quarters at
Washington Hail. whence he proceeded, with one
gentleman in waiting DR.. Duers house. lie reach
