ARRIVAL OF LORD ASHBURToS. Ashburion
and suite arrived yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
by the Camden and Amboy route, and took up his
brief abode IN the apartments which had been pre-
pared Cor him at the Astor House. James Buchan-
an, Esq, her Maesty's Consul, attended his Lord
ship and accompanied him to the hotel. We also
heard that James q. King, principal fnancicl
IN this country, and capital chap in several points
since the abdication OF Mr. Bidde, was also in at
tendance, with his horses and carriage.
We understand that Lord Ashburton may remain
here day or two-visit Boston-and then partalle
of several splendid fess, getting up celebrate tn
negociator and raticator Of the great treaty bewerr
England and the United States. First, there will be
a most splendid dinner given him by the merchant
of New York at the Astor House. The arrangement.
are nearly ready. Secondly, a most splendid fet.
will be given him at the chateau of James G. KIM
Esq on the Hoboken Heights, near Weehawken

And, thirdly, Jonathan Goodhue will also give his

get though all these affairs in days. and be able

So the next fortnight will be great time in New
York.
~ BIZ his Lordship can spare couple of days,
We would ADVISE him TO make trip to Rockaway,
now in the prime Of the season, and take a cool
mouthful of sea air. Six months in Washington, al
this season, are enough to kill an ordinary man
dozen mouthfuls of Rockaway air would revive
him.

'young democracy" met again yesterday afternoon
on the Battery and in Castle Garden, and continued
the agitation of the singular movement recently be-
gun in the Park, that looks towards some very
curious events In the democratic party hereafter.
A rich and full account of their proceedings will
be found in this days paper.
The tone, temper and character of the resolutions
and speeches are unique. They breathe decided
hostility to the "old clo'" party of Office beggar.,
headed by Noah-the same TO certain office holders
of This city--5esides very warm manifestation
towards decomposition of the Cabinet, and an in.
