Our German fellow citizens have always dis
tnguished themselves these occasions by the
liberality and munifcence of the entertainment,
and certainly this one was in all respects worthy
Of its predecessors The dining room was deco
rated in the most tasteful and classical style At
the head of the room, Immediately behind the
Presidents chair, magnificent painting,
representing the genius Of Germany, surrounded
by wreath encircling the arms of the various
States. Underneath were the words Elm Einiges
Teutschland''- "Unitsd Germany" On the right
Of this painting large portrait of Goethe, and
on the other side portrait of Gutenberg Be-
tween the recesses of the windows were es-
cutcheons, encircled by garlands of laurel, and
bearing the illustrious names of "ScHnLER'-
"JEAN PAUL"-"HERDER''-" KANT''-KoRNER''-
-LEssING'-"HALLER"
At the head of the table were the excellent Pre-
sldent Of the Society, CONRAD w. FABER, Esq,

Society,"
Upwards of three hundred gentleman sat down
to dinner, amongst whom we recognised many of
our most eminent and opuent merchants. Moth
ing indeed could more intelligibly have indicated
the extent and Importance Of the obligations which
the city of New York owes to the intelligence, en-
terprise industry, probity and wealth of the of
the old world, than the appearance Of that festive
hall. A more respectable company we never saw
assembled on any occasion in this city.
| OF the variety, elegance and profusion of the
materials of the banquet the names of the bets Of
the Aston House afford ample guaranty of them
| selves. In order, however, to allow those who
were not there to have some faint idea of the good
