The arrival of Elk President Van Buren, in our
city yesterday, the most imposing sight we ever
beheld. The landing, by nine o'clock in the morn
ing, was dotted over with more than ten thousand
people-a anxious to get sight of the gie attest ma
slclan of the age. About half past nine, the steam
boats Ben Franklin, Henry Clay, Rainbow, Indiana,
and VIM. Penn, five in number, and all abreast
made their appearance amid the roar of cannon
and innumerable bands of music on every side The
spectacle was sublime beyond conception or descrip-
tion The principal part of the procession was COM
posed OF the military under the command of Major
General Kite. Their appearance presented the great
estamaria array that our citizens have witnessed
open barouche, accompanied by Judge Burke, j. j.
Farran, Esq.,, and J.H. Gerard, ESQ., Since his arri-
val he has been constantly hand" for the recep-
ton OF visitors of all ages and sexes We under
stand that he has accepted an invitation to dine with
number OF his friends, tomorrow, at the splendid
mansion of General Joseph Kite This will afford
HIM line recreation. Commanding this gentle
mans mansion does complete view of the whole
city, and surrounded it is with bowers, ever
greens, shrubs, and flowers every side, will make
the most agreeable relief altogether that could be
found. Among the number of his personal friends
that Will be with him on the OCCASION have heard
the names of Col. James Goodloe, James Riley,
Esq, General Charles Reemilen, and John H. Gerard
Esq, mentioned. Next Monday he leaves the city
tor the Lakes, from thence to the interior. We
glad 10 see Mr.. Van Buren, make this visit to the
West-partcularly If he intends to be a candidate
tor the Presidency. No person east OF the noun
tans knows our wants, or our resources, until they
see us IN person Col Charles Hale accompanied
the ex-President TO Columbus.
An ordinance has gone forth TO Danish the hogs
from the public thoroughfares-it is n Especial
edlct" but whether such republican pork as we have
at Cincinnati, will :" tremble and obey" is vet n
matter OF speculation.
Lord Morpeth arrived here this morning from
White Sulphur and took up his abode at the Broad
way, Hotel HIS plain and unassuming appearance,
and his shocking bad Panama hat, excite some little
surprize amongst sundry personages, who look for
something wonderful in the appearance of live
lord lie Is very much liked, and the free and easy
manner, while travelling by stage route, with which
ne tips the driver dollar and tools along the team
on his own hook, arc pleasant evidences of his &C.
NAL disposition, and first rate whipmanship
Our city has been very dull-rghteousne over
much seems to exercise its cherries influence on so
clety. The saintsno doubt imagine they are getting
TO heaven at railroad speed, leaving poor working
day christians 10 hobbc on at their leisure Though
many OF the pretty women that throng our churches
betray quite much regard for their own handsome
appearance, and the fashion of millinery, as for the
words of the preacher, and divers solemn looking
young men evidently by no means insensible to
glancng eyes from neighboring rvs
Thearicals. and amusemcnts generally, al
most forsakcn. Fanny Fitz and Blackstone, have
been the only persons who have brought the pub
lie, if may Judge from the beauty and fashion that
crowded the boxes on the occasion of their benefits
and the great satisfaction their admirable perlornan
ces have given. They closed their engagement last
night with the Van Buren, patronage and have pro-
cecdcd to Pittsburgh Our Theatre will therefore
remain closed till Forrest comes who is expected in
a fortnight.
Your paper is quite the rage here, an inference ]
deduce from the interest II excites IN all the public
reading rooms, where five or six heads are generally
congregated over one file, while those of other pa
pers are marvcllonsly easy of access. An Exchange
broker told me yesterday that though sometimes he
did not like the New York Herald yet there was so
much information 10 be gained from IT, in advance
OF every oherpaper, and much variety in its con-
tents that he could not get along without IL
The business OF our city was never duer-nor
money ever more scarce. Having done, however;
healthy business, our merchants generally stano
irm. But few failures have iranspired, and but rev
more anticipated The crops never looked better,
and take il altogether, our condition Is not one 10
