MONDAY, p. NJ, s. O'Clock.
The one o'clock train was waited for with great
Impotence but when il did arrive we were delight
ed TO find that il brought Madame CASTELAR,, under
the polite escort of Commodore DE Kay, and also
Sig. Giampetro. She has created quite a sensation
here, and every one is asking il she will give con.
cert. 1t is universally decided that she must do II,
and therefore, OF course, she will give concert,
although we know not on what day.
Mad. CASTELAR, and her party lett New York last
evening In company with Bishop Onderdonk, who
has gone on to Utica, and Chief Justice Cowen.-
They were detained several hours in Albany, IN
consequence Of the accident TO the cars, which
have already mentioned. In the mean time news
travelled on in advance 10 Baston that CASTELAR, was
on her way to Saratoga. This was enough TO arouse
nj fhofp aiahp afaAS Axs,ha hes
nora did finally arrive the Balston beaux were
dy TO welcome her with most enthusiastic greet
ing. they almost literally buried her with flowers
and bouquets-so many OF them, indeed, that she
was utterly unable TO carry more than half OF them,
the other being thrown away from necessity.
There have been some departures to-day. The
Halghts, the Hudsons, and Mr.. Robinson, Mise
Hendrckson, of Albany, who has left many admi-
rers, but whether Mr.. R-t, Mr.. Ding, and
Mr. R-velt are among the number, am not now
prepared TO say.
The 0'Donnell's are attracting much attention,
but as there is to be hop this evening, shall de-
fer further notice of the beauties until morrow.
