ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT.

Yesterday, at noon, a committee Of the
Corporate authorities Of Washington and a
delegation Of tue Rough and Ready Club,
accompanied by the Mayor Of the city and
Colonel Bliss, proceeded in an extra train
to the Relay House.
| At an early hour in the day, large con
course Of ladies and gentlemen had assembled
at the Relay House from the surrounding
country and from the city Of Baltimore, to do
honor to the President, and by the afternoon
trains from that city thousands came to Join
them
The Cumberland train with the President
on board arrived at the Relay House at 4
O'Clock p. M, and the crowd was so great,
that the doors Of the car in which he was
had to be locked, to prevent his being sur
rounded by the pressure.
The delegations from this city, however,
as soon as it became known to the President
that they were in waiting, were invited into
his car, and the doors were again locked 81
The usual courtesies were exchanged by the
Mayors introducing the delegates to the
President, and in the name Of the corpora
ton Of WASHINGTON, he was welcomed as the
Chief Magistrate elect.
In consequence Of the anxiety Of the null
titudes to speak to the President delay in
the department Of the train was occasioned,
and in the interyal, every person in atten
dance came up to the window Of the car in
which he sat and exchanged salutations with
him.
At six O'Clock, persons were seen wenl-
ing their way towards the depot in this city,
in crowds, to be present at the approach Of
the old hero. In short time the car-house
was filled. In front of the depot there were
about two thousand people looking every
moment for the arrival of the cars, a report
LAYING been circulated Of his expected arri-
val in an extra train. In the interval rock
cts were let off, Illuminating the vicinity.
AT a few moments past eight O'Clock, the
whistle Of the locomotive was heard, and in
an instant, the shout of the thousands who
had assembled at the depot, went up in
token that

r IVER PILLS-No medicine ever earned
- for itselfa higher reputation in so short a
time, as has the Liver Pill, discovered and COM
pounded by DR.. M'Lane, Of Virginia. Although
but short time comparatively before the public,
it has already earned for itself degree of popular
ty hitherto unsurpassed. The demand for them
has become immense. Messrs. Kidd s. Co. the
propretors of the medicine, who reside in; Pitts
burg corner of 4th and Wood streets, are constant
ly receiving orders which they find il. almost i'm
possible to supply. The popularity ofsthese Pills
is not confined to any particular section of the
country, the demand being general, from the
North, South, East and West. The truth is,
no disease is more common in all quarters of the
United States than that Of the,I Liver. And these
Pills are the best remedy eyeryct discovered for
Hepac arrangement.

Oh Tuesday night Almost alarming, fire occurred
at Randall Evans confectionery establishment,
which resulted in the.eltire destruction .of the
house and contents and portion of the same

spread with fearful rapidity, the occupants hav
ing scarcely timeto escape in theirni9ht clothes.
Fortunately it happened i'll the midst of "a tre-
mendous rain. The property of Messrs. 7. B..
