Eas.. River.
As the Vanderbilt passed the U. S. war yes
sells North Carolina and Ohio, at the Navy Yard
the band PLAYED Yankee Doodle, and the sa-
Into was then commenced from the Navy Yard
nv both those vessels At this point the scene
was highly exciting the seamen and marines
were aloft on all the masts and and yards OF
the vessels, and they shouted and hurrahed vo-
ciferously during the whole OF the tune the yes

On the sail up the Bay the ferry-boats blew
,beir whistles as the vessel passed, and the
flags of Hungary and America flew IRON the
masthead of many sail Kossuth stood on the
ton Of the cabin, and as each party shouted
.lono the shore. he bowed and smiled at them
with compacency
After passing as far up the rlver as Jersey
City. the Vanderbilt returned, and on reaching
Castle Garden and the Battery the sight was
beyond comparison. the finest New-fork ever
saw. hundred thousand persons were
on the Battery, and their shouts reached to
heaven and almost rentthe clouds. Flags waved
from different parts OF the Battery, and even
scbooners in the neighborhood hoisted the Hun
parian standard and fired salute.
Incidents at the Island and OH the Voyage up.
While Kossuth was at breakfast, the Van
derbilt arrived, but owing to the shallowness OF
the water, could not get close TO the ship she
remained in the deep water, and boat beng
dispatched by DR.. Doane from Quarantine,
brought Alderman Miller and some other Mem
hers Of the Common Council on shore, to receive
Kossuth and conduct him on board. The depu-
tation proceeded to DR.. Doane's residence, wheh
it was arranged that the steamer shonld go
little further Up to the ad dining wharf, belonging
TO the Quarantine, where there was sHiilclent
depth to enable the Governor and suite TO go on
board without any delay
A number of Hungarians, in the United
States army. crossed over from Bedlows Island,
in uniform, early in the morning, having obtained
leave to take part in the days procession
On leaving the wharf, before proceeding
on board, Kossuth thanked MAJOR Hagadorn the
officer In command, for the attention that had
been paid TO him, to which the Major replied
that it would always be looked upon by him and
his companions in arms, as the highest honor OF
their lives TO have served as a guard to kOssuth
The scene at the wharf battles all descrlp-
ton. When the Vanderbilt put alongside, the
rush to get on board terrible. The Rich
mond Guards were on duty, and did their utmost
to keep back the crowd but many jumped on
board In spite of their bayonets. Many Hunga-
rlans, in costume, were driven back. AT last,
DR.. Doane, himself and his family, were repulsed,
and The plank having been taken IN, the Doctor
was left behind, but he got on board by means OF
his boat Colonel Hasman, distinguished
Hungarian, was severely hurt In leaping on
board
Shelton's Brass Band discoursed most
excellent music.
Opposite Bellows Island the Governor
of Hungary was saluted by discharge of thirty
one guns From Fort Columbus, on Governors
Island, similar honor was paid to kossuth,
and the fire was responded TO by the Vanderbilt
The steamboat then headed up the East River.
The shipping in the harbor was galiy
decorated in honor of the great Magyar.
At WILLIAMSBURG another salute from
the land, and great crowds were collected along
the wharis.
The Vanderbilt put about opposite the
Aims House, at Twenty enth-st,, and IN re-
turning kept close to the west side of the river.
Again the steamboats, and ships greeted Kossuth,
and the bells rang merry peals. Again they
were answered by the bell of the Vanderbilt and
the firing OF her gun.
A grand de1euner was served ON board
the boat prepared by Mr.. O'Keeie, and table
was laid out for Kossuth and suite In the ladies'
saloon, but he said he had breakfasted so late,
he felt no appetite, and he declined to partake OF
any of the good things provided for him.
Owing to want of time the remainder of
the intended excursion up the North.Rver was
abandoned, and the Vanderbilt put into Castle
Garden but from want of water and the great
numbers in the boat, who kept all to one side, It
was impossible to land for a considerable time.
The greatest excitement prevailed, and some
got out in small boats
