So Tranquil SO beloved,
All they have left of life with us is living
So gentle, stiress, helpless, and unmoved,
And all unconscious Of the Joy they're giving,
All they have felt inflicted, passed and proved
flushed into depths beyond the waters diving;
There lie the things love, with all their errors
And all their charms like death without its terrors
Such is the exact position of the President and
his suite, at this present writing; the latter is thus
made up:-

But ] am ahead of my story. OF course you
have already published the particulars Of the EN-.
Guards, Captaa Cairns who escorted the President
to the boat, performed their duty admirably, and
the boat left the wharf they fired one round from
30 muskes, so mastery that the report waslke that

last time IN his lite, and the thousands of smiling
happy faces, on shore, and looked round upon his

trckled down the good old mans cheek especially
when one old white headed veteran in the crowd
cried out, "God bless You, John Tyler" Mrs. Ro
bert Tyler, by long odds the most charming lady on
board, except three young Hebes in black from the
Asor House, was also much affected by the scene.
There was a large crowd, and by far the most re
spectacle one that has yet greeted him, present on
board the boat to see him off; among whom were
Mr.. Livingston, Mr.. Morris, Mr.. Brevoort, Mr.
Schuyler, Mr.. Stuyvesant, Mr.. Erord, Mr.. Jones,
&c, &c. There were on board about sixty lady
passengers and 200 gentlemen. The Massachusetts,
stood well over for the Jersey shore, rounded to,
and passed the North Carolina in fine style. The
rigging OF this vessel and of the Independence was
manned so completely, that you couldscarcely see
lusty cheers as the Massachusetts passed them
After leaving these vessels the President was re-
peatedly cheered from the Brooklyn shore far as
Halletl's Cove On passing the south end of Black
wells Island. about l20 of the miserable Magdalens
were drawn up in full array, and the boat passed
they gave hdeous discordant yell, and made the
most indecent gestures In contrast with this were
the children of the Long Island Farms, looking full
OF health and innocence, who gave SIX hearty
cheers for the President On reaching He'll Gate,
the President and all the Cabinet came forward to
the bow of the boat, and were particularly DESTROYS
to have the pot, the gridiron, and the hogs back,
rendered immortal by Washington Irving, pointed
out to them; and Judge Upshur and Mr.. Spencer
were exceedingly observant of the beauties OF the
East River. and the capabilities OF New York Island
and its glorious harbor.

seven at night and two in the morning, there can
be little to Interest the general reader. II is suf-
cient to say that the President appeared in fine
health and spirits, and so did the ladies and gentle
men of issulte. They promenaded every part Of
the boat, laughed, chated, sang, and enjoyed them
selves to the tip top gallant of their desires Iudeed

the kindness he had met there, in the warmest
terms. And Robert declared that the reception the
scenery, and the demonstrations of the last two
DAYS; fully compensated for the last two years of
trihulation.
But after passing He'll Gate, it was evident that
change had come over The sprint of the dreams of
all on board; the President and his Cabinet seemed
no longer such ba' simple fellow citizens, going in
common with 10000 others, to pay sincere tribute
to the might OF genius and intellect the first altar
Of the ir great country's freedom, the Presden,
beautifully observed in landing in New York. In
plain prose, they were all now intent on reaching
Bunker Hill to hear Daniel Webster speak on that
hallowed ground. The mere desire of seeing and
speaking to the President was utterly lost in the
audabe one of doing honor to living genius and de-
parted patriotism That from this time to the close
Of next Saturdays proceedings, Daniel Webster
was 20 be the Magnus Apollo of the whole; and the
anticipation OF those events impaired unmlngled
feelings OF felicity 10 the whole party.
This did not prevent them from ENJOYING them
selves; and when they set down to supper about
halt past eight, they showed they in fine health
as well as spirits. And such a supper have never
seen equaled on board steamboat in any country.

without number, and in the most profuse abundance.
There was one delightful arrangement at the table;
the ladies were distributed like Christians and ra.
tonal beings, misceaneously among the gentlemen
to whom they belonged; not stuck together all of
row like so many mumnes III museum, as is ge-
nerally the at these public tables. The Pr.sl-
dent said he had never brilliant dIsplay on
board of any steamboat and, indeed, when you
call 10 your recollection the magnificent cabin OF the
Mass chusets, about 300 ieet long, brilliantly light
ed and tasteiully ornamented, the tables bending
under delicious viands, sthe Chief Magistrate at the
head surrounded bv his Cabinet, his family, and
three score OF beautiful women. You may suppose
1t was scene calculated to make married man
feel happy; wldo~er, queer; and a single one MI

And so the company rose at o'clock, and proceed

know what glorious voice he has, you don't want
to be told that he sang it superbly very gentee
