At hive minutes past twelve, the ex.cabnet,
headed by MIR; Buchanan, came IN, and were seat
ed within the bar
e Al.
Hon. Truman Smith came in, and, as he entered,
there were cries OF "there's the President"
"there'ss the President" which we're suddenly
changed into an uproar OF laughter on the disco
very OF the mistake.
At ha!fpast twelve the President elect, leaning
on the arm of ex-President Polk, marched up the
aisle TO place near the Vice President, and after
some few words of csnyersaton with Chief JUS
with The Marshal of The District, and followed by
the Supreme Cont, Senate and House Commit
tee OF Arrangements, President and Vice Presi-
dent elect, the Cabinet, the Corps Diplomatiquc,
thence TO the platform fronting the eastern por-
tico.
And here, III front Of multitude numbering pro-
baby not less than thirty thousand people, General
Taylor delivered HIS inaugural address, and took
the oath Of office.
1t was soon over, and then the swarm of so.
veielgns rent the air with their hearty cheering;
and 10 the pealng of artillery and the strains Of
motion from Capitol Hill, under lively snow
storm from the southwest to keep them moist and
comfortable.
There were perhaps thousand people in the
houses and on the line OF the avenue to the White
House-one mlle-who did not go up to the capt.
toll but waited to see the return of the procession
TO The executive mansion.
The procession returned, and at abont half-past
one o'clock Old lack was duly installed In the
White House, with such mass meeting gathered
In front, awaiting admission as Is only TO be seen
ON inaugural occasions. When We left, at two
o'clock, The pressure was so great rs TO defy adj
mission to an outsider tor an hour TO come.
General Cass was present IN the Senate, and ac-
tnally appeared delighted with the proceedings.
When Old lack was introduced into the Chamber,
he was evidently embarrassed but he soon re-
covered himself, and looked over the imposing
ecene with the GOODNESS of an observation OF a
field Of battle.
The President had no sooner taken his oath
than 1t commenced showing, which at three
O'Clock ID suspended, only, we apprehend, from
the heavy and lowering clouds, to be followed by
a rainy night.
The Inauguration day of Presldent Polk was
rainy and most disng reeable; that of General Har
member, that Of Mr.. Van Buren, wound up with a
storm.
As far as we can ascertain, no life was lost and
no limbs were broken among all the swarmlng
multitude during the proceedings of the day
