Wallabout, during the
Revolutionary
These collins filled with bones, but arc but a
small portion Of the great numbers which were burn
ed on this spot. The present collins copper, fur
nished at the sole expense of Mr.. Romano, who paid
$500 for this little spot rather than have it built
upon.
Mr.. Romano was the Marshal Of the procession
which deposited the original collins in lSOS, and car
ried on his shoulder and planted that noble tree
which stands at the door of the vault. We had
not time to transcribe all the truly elegant nscrip-
lions which he is having placed upon the building
but we heard him tell His Majesty that she me-
would let Congress rest while he lives, till they
placed monument hundred feet high on this
long neglected spot .
While we were particularly examining this, His
Highness drove TO the Naval Hospital, made hasty
inspection, and then returned to the Yard which he
left in the order before receiving salute as
he passed the U. S. steam frgate Fulton which, by
the bye, made fine appearance. At half past three
he landed at the Battery and received three hearty
cheers from the officers and jolly tars, who never
yet did any thing by halves.
His Highness after reaching Washington Hall
again washed, put clean shirt this time, brushed
up his hair, and looked really killing. He then
went out, in sy,steathy manner almost alone and
unobserved passed down several back and crooked
streets, entered a somewhat modern mansion well
known TO some leading in Wall street. where
he drank with select aud lovely clique Of ladies',
and really seemed inclined to throw to the devil
for half an hour AT eight o'clock, however, he
was waited upon by Mr.. Secretary Forsyth, Mayor
Warian, and the entire Common Council.

enough to contain him, and expressed his doubts
whether the devils horns were large. At the Bow

cheers. The house was crammed. The beautiful
Bowery girls blazed away in all their beauty. The
Bowery boys roared, and so did the lions; and His

His Majesty leaves today, at noon, for Harlem,
where he win probably dine at AID Halls. A Com

Farewell 20 Ellen Tree.
Yesterday fine morning, and the fair Ellen
was left to u, took her departure on board the
Shakespeare packet, on her wav 10 Liverpool; and
Hughes and other musicians Of the Park and Ma

purpose Of bidding her adieu in thoughts that
