Arrival or Boz I'm the City OF New York
His Reception, Appearance, and Move
The welcome to him.
At last Boz breaihes the balmy atmosphere OF
the Queen City of the Empire State. Thank Hea-
ven for that md God grant him 'true deliverance''
from it, the clerk at the Old Baily said to the Jury
when the man was trial for his life.
II was well known all round among the highly re-
spectable fashionables in the upper part of the city,
some Of whom do pay their way, as Sam Weller said
Of the ship caulkes, and some of whom do not, (al
though the names don't appear at present in the
bankrupt sD that Boz was TO arrive IN New York
Yesterday and many a serious deliberaton and dis
cussion was held over decoction of Young Hyson
and pale Sherry, whether about 200 Of the elite
should 90 down to tho New Haven boat in body
and escort him to the Carlton. But as it was also
equally well known among the highly respectable
butcher boys Of Fulton Market, the market women's
highly intelligent cads, the conscientious baggage
smashers and that peaceablc, honest temperate and
remarkably well-dressed detachment Of the commu-
n,y sanderously styled dock loafers and chifionien
that Eoz eud arrive in the Haven boat yesterday:
and as these latter, influential and independent elias.
ses of our fellow eemen, generally act upon princi-
ple-,hat is, the principle which spurs them at the
moment-it was shrewdy suspected by the elite that
these latter classes would be very apt to crowd
round the dock and the wharves, and along South
street, ia such numbers, merely to get sight Of
Boz, poor people eat oysters out of very despe-
ration, that the elite delegation, if it went, might
have to return without reaching, or even seeing
Boz. Therefore, they wisely resolved to send a
Committee of one, with no power to add to his
number (but to take care of No. if possible) to
welcome Boz to the city in behalf of its 200 900 in
haStants and MIR. Golden was chosen for that pur-
purpose.
The day was fne-the air bland-balmy, as
Montpelier May-the sun careered brightly through
the heavens the bosom Of the East River glowed,
gittered and spaked in the sunbeams, whilst its
surface danced vessels of every shape, and des
cription; these formed one strong feature in the
neighborhood Of the New Haven dock. On the
Other hand, the wharves in that vicinity were unu-
sually redelent of mud and filth, the butcher boys
and ragged little news vendors were playing pitch
and toss, shy -,hemoty and happy go lucky with
40 unusual velocity and with praseworthy tranquil
ity as If no unusual event about to happen-asif
their chronicleI was not approaching the dock-:he
beggargirls and chitioniers, with their symmetrical
lower limbs displayed in all their naked beauty,
stoopedto gather up pieces Of rope, rags, and rub
bish with all the grace of untutored and unblushiug
innocence and Totally unconscious that their single
petticoat and frock displayed 'unfashionaby arge
rents behind. Whilst the moasses suckers, the
little boys who always lick out empty sugar hogs
heads rhe universal fche from coffee baps in
the shape OF pretty young Dutch girls, with very
large but very straight legs, and very coarse but
very short peitcoas, were all pursuing their praise
worthy and innocent occupations /; the majority of
tAem pleased and delighted with the doings of the
day, they knew not why, they cared not where

termongers, tou,ers for hstels, cab-yer-honors,
hack-sirs, baggage. smashers, dock.loafers, lazy
young clerks, who have been examining for the
last week on Barnaby Rudge, Quilp, and Dick Swi-
veer (uniil, in some of their interesting peculiar
ties, they came near resembling these worthies,)
and an a!armingly small number of pickpockets and
niggers-ard our readers have fair sample of the
VERY promiscuous assembage of bipeds that cover

As for Boz himself, he was walking the hurricane
deck Of the steamboat, with his hands buried in a
singuarly Questionable depth in a coat abeu three
times as shaggy as the hide OF Siberian bear, and
which blythe by is not by no means coat, which
