Henry CLAY AT NRw ORLEANs-The
Hon. Henry Clay arrived at New Orleans on
the I'D ult., and was received with much
enthusiasm. The steamer Luda, in which
he took passage down the river, was met a
little below Carrolton, by four steamers from
N. Orleans, which had been sent to escort
him to the city. The Picayune says
Guns were fired from many of the ships in
port as the boats moved from the Levee,
and still more lively salute was resumed
when the Luda and her train fioated down
past the city, Com. Moore, in high spirit
of naval courtesy, spoke loud welcome to
the city's guest with IL guns from the ship
Austin, like number being also fired from
the brig Wharton, as the cortege turned at
the lower end of the city, and swept across
to the Algiers shore. Regular aud hearty
cheers were given from the Texan vessels of
war as the Luda passed, first from the Off
GERS on the quarter deck, and next from the
sailors grouped in the bow. During all this,
guns were firing from various parts of the
city-from the Place d. Armes, the front of
the custom house, the head of Poydras street,
&c, while the reverberating echoes of Al
glers displayed spirited emulation to Join
in the honors of the occasion.
About noon MIR Clay was landed and con-
dncted TO seat in the barouche. and four
prepared for him, upon which the process
sion then in waiting in Poydras street, and
on the Levee, fell in order of march as set
forth in the programme.
1t was about two o'clock when Mr. Clay
was set down and received at the house of
Dr. Mercer, in Carondelet street. He soon
made his appearance on the balcony, and re-
manned standing, uncovered, while the pro-
cession passed on in review beneath. The
whole affair was conducted in skiliul order
and regularity, rejecting much credit upon
The marshals aud those in charge of the pro-
ceedings.
| Mr. Clay seems in firm and florid health,
that kind Of health which has been described
as frosty, but kindly" and wishing him long
continued happiness and usefulness, we
frankly bid him welcome to New Orleans.
| ERysIPELAs-A new disease, OF an old one assu-
ming new features-prevailed last year in some
pats of State, and in OF the border towns
! in New Hampshire, with very fatal results. Du-

various places not far from us. AT Derby, late IN

RI Deaths have occurred by this disease in Barnet
and the ensterly part of Danville, and occasionally
in other towns, When the disease is Of malig

progress; but when the attack is of milder type
death does not often ensue.
