NKw YEAp's DAY.--A more lovely day never
dawned upon city. The and the people shone
out in splendor, and life and pleasure, and gaety
were every where visible. The avenues were
thronged with merry, we'll pleased crowds; and
hall doors were opened wide to welcome the count
less guests Calls were made upon many of our
prominent citizens, and upon the members of the
Cabinet, and other distinguished Statesmen, and
functionaries of the General Government. The
concourse at the residence of Mr.. LENox, the
Mayor Of Washington, was very great, and con-
tnued for several hours; and warm and hospta-
BILE greeting awaited every guest.
We thought the visters to the Presidential Man
sion numerous beyond precedent consistin e
of ladies and gentlemen of every position in life.
Senators and mechanics, generals and shopmen,
apprentices with their sweethearts, and their mas
ters with their wives, thronged together in the
compact crowds Mr.. WALLAoH, the Marshal of
the District, presented each to the President !;
and that gentleman, in bland and gentle
peculiarly his own, welcomed them and re-
sponded to the good wishes each one expressed.
Within the East Room, the observed of all OBJ
servers. stood the great HARRY CLAY. We have
not for several years seen him looking well and
he was cheerful and cordial in responding to the
kind greetings of the people, all of whom appeared
to seek his hand The music OF the Marine Band
in the hall added to the pleasure of the scene.
Late in the afternoon, (although thawing day
had not been without its effects upon the snow)
the presence of the thousands upon the avenues
gave evidence of the fact that the festive season had
not been abused.
May many New YEAR DAYS, as happy, as tran
gull, and prosperous, dawn upon our beloved
city, and upon our great and glorious Republic.
