citizen of New York, who witnessed the procession of Tuesday last, and confirms what the newspapers give us of the immense multitude who attended; and the imposing nagnifcence of the spectacle He states that there c0udnot be less than 25,00O or 30,800 persons present. We lay before our readers inc following description from two of the aeEspapers. The Morning NeWs' says 1t was 'sno partisan demonstration" and that the procession extended through distance of about fee miles.
 "The estimate gives grand total of tleeahy-fpe t80usandS Sercn Hundred and sceeR- i5-fre. One estimate, made by five different persons, when one-half of the procession had passed. made the humber up to that time twenty thousand, which would make grand total of forth Mousa1d; and we presume that aqrrerate is not far from the correct one. In the three frs. divisions, as they passed Canal street. we counted 595 mounted horsemen in uniform, including the grand marshall and his aids and 5l two horse carriages. On the return of fthe procession down Broadway, the line was broken at Canal street, little past o'clock, by the sixth division, which was composed entirely of the different lodges of odd lelloWs-several lodges, constituting about half the division, turning of into Gan al street for the purpose of returning to their respective lodge rooms. The seventh divis- ion, consisting of the Kings county portion of the caYalcade, did not, however, allow this Interruption 10 retard them; but, with inc residue of the column, passed on to the Park, where the last division arrived about z o'clock. Throughout the entire route trayersed by the procession, the windows of the houses were filled with females, the roofs of the houses contained their thousands, the stoops and sidewalks were crowded to reple- ton with people of all classes and ages, a great proportion of them females, and the streets themselves were so filled that there was at times difficulty in eileeting passage for the procession without causing great croWding and confusion amongst the assem- bled multitude. As the cavalcade moved on, all eyes were fixed upon the distinguish oc- eupants of two of the barouches-those ia Torite sons of New ofk, their eXcellencies exp resident Van BUen, who was accom- panied by his two sons, and Gov. Marcy with whom rode his honor the Mayor. They ~Weye "the observed ol all observers5' and the hale, nearly appearance of the eX-Presldent was the subject of universal remark The appearance amongst Us on this occasion of those two almost idolized members of the great deaoe8tie family, Was regarded by our citizens at large in d manner which still more nearly mites them with the hearts of their felIoW-citizes ofthc empire city; and il will be cherished by them as another indica- tion of the common sympathy which perya- des the united heart of# the great political family of which those truly great men afe al once the representatives and the leaders, There were also in the procession many oth- CTS ofsmark aud note not only here at home, but throughout the Unioa-amongst whom Gen Winfield Scod* was one of the most re- marked.

 The citizens of Washington will to-mor- row, turn ous to pay their respect to the memory of General Andrew Jackson The procession will muster in the noghborhood
 of the Presidents square and will thence pro-
 ceed to the Capitol square, where the faner- f al oratlon will be pronounced from the cas- tern Portico, by George Bancroft esq All the public offices will be closed; and the officers of government will participate in the proceedings in honor of him, about whom
 one of the most distinguished men in the na-
 ton, and intimately acquainted win him in some of the most trying periods of our his- tory, happily pronoltnces that the orator is fortunate in his subject, since t would be difficult to say moro in General Jackson's praise than he deserves. A nobler spirit ne yer lived, nor trucr or kinder friend.
