This was surmounted by the coat of arms of the
United States whilst above stood, prominent, capt.
tai likeness of JOHN TYLER, supported ON the right
by Washington and on the left by Jackson All the
other Presidents ranged in proper order
the whole beautifully festooned by the flags of our
nation.
The panels of the orchestra was remarkably well
concealed by a large Am rican eagle, which was
supported on the side by the arms of New York
State, and the other by the arms of the CITY,
Each State was represented by its arms-the whole
Of which were most happily and effectively grouped
these were from the skful pencil of Mr.. Z. Grain,
to whom the patrons Of the Opera House indebt-
ed for many Of its best scenic dis, lays. Four we'll
filed tables extended from emo TO end of the apart
ment, upon which, besides edibes and drinkables,
ranged, in beautiful design, choice and elegant
exotic flowers.
We must not omit to make mention of the very
full and mastery band numbering fifteen sent from
the Unit States line of battle-ship North Carolina
Their music was exceedingly elegant-in all in
stances aprop0s-and given in a mastery manner
Those who were present grateful to the band.
Among the invited guests present. we notice the
President Of the Board of Aldermen, Elijah +. Pur
dy, Esq familarly known as "Old lronsdes;" Capt.
Levy, Of the Navy; Ex-Governor Hill, Of N. Hamp-
shire, and Gen. O'Neil.
But we have written these Introductory remarks
eyond the compass we can devote to them and
without further attempt at description, must at
proceed TO the business Of the night.
In consequence of the absence of his honor the
mayor, Robert II. Morris who was called out of the
city ON important public business after he had g
copied the invitation of the committee TO preside
Amos PALMER, Esq, selected to ofiicate as Pre-
sident. He was assisted by the following gentlemen
as Vice Presidents;
Geo. d. Strong, VIM. Ii. Michaels,
Frederick A. Gay, Arson Herrick,
VIM. u. Wood, Samuel L. Robinson,
Lawrence HILL Charles Fox.
The preminaries being arranged, and all matters
settled into a comfortable consistency the company
proceeded TO do justice, both to HoNEsr JoHS TY-
and the piands set before them. 1t requires
some considerable experience TO qualify one for eat
ing dinner arstocratically and III good earnest-a
public dinner more especially-and we are led to
believe, from what we saw, that every man present
had duly taken his degrees in the college of gastron-
omy, and graduated with entire hunors. Destruc-
tIyeness and amentiveness were the only organs
chronological, for some.tim exercised. All things,
however, must have an end. Just as the wine,
which had circulated retty freely, and TO some pur-
pose, was adding lustre TO the eye collective, bloom
to the cheek collective, and nusing visible increase
OF good spirits into the body collective, the Pres-
dents mandate interrupted the eating, AID enforced
order and silence for the
REGULAR ToAsrs.

That the red field Of war was the pathwa, I, fame
But now, that she older and wiser is grown
And ready the faults Of her girlhood TO own,
She declares, and who will not approve the award

To one who, as long our eagle shall soar
Or the flag OF America float ia the wind
Remembered shall be as the friend of mankind

Deep lear DER the heart Of the nation had cast
But "Ty er and Veto have crushed him at last
