or In Congress. bis enuncstion was also marked
by some Southern peculisrities.
The members Of the Common Council and many
other gentlemen were then introduced to the Presi-
dent. Among them we notice ARTHUR w. AUSTIN,
Esq. Of Chsrestown Mass. who as representative
Of that City, rendered to his Excellercy the first
invitation which he has received to visit any
his mission, Mr.. AUsTIS remarked to US that
The old Bunker Hill Town was always on
hand" The party then removed 70 the Cen
tlemens Cabin, where most abundant and
elegant collation. was spread, under the direction
Of the Committee, by Mr.. David Graham, the
Steward of the Vanderbilt. Indeed, the guststory
man could not well have had more abundant
consultations than were provided during the
whole trip. On the forward deck Of the boat
table stood bearing an immense bowl of punch,
and another Of lemonade, both seemingly mex
haustbe for although the drinking was liberal and
inccssant they were as fall at the end Of the ex-
cursion as at the beginning. On passing Fort
Hamilton an appropriate salute was fired, which,
the boat approached the landing, was repeated
from the batteries Of Governors Island and from
the ships in the harbor These were all decorated
with flags and crowded with spectators. The outer
gallery on Castle Garden was alive with the people,
who greeted the distinguished guest with cheers
The party having landed his Honor, Mayor
Brady addressed the President in these words

To this the President replied in briei and per
tinent manner.
After which he proceeded TO review the troops
on the Battery.
Nearly all the Volunteer Companies OF the CITY
were under arms and made fine appearance.
We noticed particularly Gen. Storms In com
mand Of the First Brigade of Horse Artillery
Brigadier Gen. George p. Morris commanding
the Sixth Brigade of Artillery Gen. Hall with the
First Brigade of Artillery, and Gen. Even with
the Fourth Brigade Of Infantry
The proce ssion was then formed according TO the
order laid down in the programme published IN
Yesterdays Tribune, and passed through the pre-
scribed route Crowds OF both sexes lined the side
walks every window and roof from which the
spectacle could be seen was fully occupied. The
quite meagre procession contained very lew per.
sons except the members of the Corporation and
invited guests and the military; the Society oil
Tammany was we believe, the only civic asso
citation which was represented, except two or
three fire companies. The marching salute IN
the Park, which closed the pageant, took place
about i've, and at hafpast FIVE the President with.
drew to his lodgings after day OF fstiguing civii-
ties cheered by little of that out bursting enthusi-
asm which often attests the hold public greatness
upon the public affections.
This morning, at 10 O'Clock, the President will
receive his friends at the City Hail. and at u he
will proceed with the Corporation and the invited
guests to view the public works and charitable in
situations of the City.
