ARRANGEMENTS for His Reception in this city
TO- . A..
The Progress from Washington,
SC. SC. &c.

The .rranoements for the reception oil the
| President being at length completed, the Joint
| Committee of Arrangements, Yesterday, made
n, their programme for the occasion, and 1t now
remains for the military and civic societies, and
citizens generally, to turn out in such numbers
and costume as shall make the procession some
thing for New York to be proud of.
We of Gotham, not accustomed to be Sc
cond best in any thing of this Sort and it is to be
hoped that the procession to-day will compare
favorably with the Croton celebration, the late
occasion of rejoicing over the Mexican victories
or in point of magnitude, with the funeral pro-
cessions of ex- Presidents Harrison and Jackson
The Common Council of Brooklyn, will, un-
der the direction of committee composed of AL
dermen Farron, Bockee, Heusted, Bradshaw and
Bergen, make such arrangements as are consis-
tent with the proper maintenance OF the munich
pal dignity of our sister city We have not yet
seen their list of arrangements, but presume they
are complete.
The projectors of Castle Garden have taken
precaution to have matters which come under
their jurisdiction, conducted as satisfactorily as
possible. The seats in the balcony, We are told,
are to be exclusively reserved for ladies'. This
is in good taste, and the beauty which will be
sure to appear there this afternoon, will add an
agreeable feature to the whole affair.
The new and magnificent steamer Cornelius
Vanderbilt, has been selected by the committee
to bring the President from Amboy to this city.
She will probably arrive here at about one
O'Clock. Several steamboats, will accompany the
G. Vanderbilt to Amboy, forming an admirable
and appropriate escort. Among the rest is the
Eureka, which has been chartered by the Gene
raj and Young Mems General Committees of the
democratic party. There will also, if there is
sufficient wind, be quite fleet of all kinds OF
sail boats, from the Whitehaer to the respecta-
BILE sized schooner
