DEPARTURE OF HENRY CLAY.-The
New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Pennsylvania gives the follow
ing account of the honors showered on
Mr.. Clay prior to hisdeparture from that
city on Tuesday:
All the town was agog this afternoon,
on the North river side of the city at
least, owing to the departure of Henry
Clay for home, on board the steamer
Georgia, which sailed for Havana at 3
o'clock, in company ofhis late colleagues
in the Senate chamber, Messrs. Glenn
ems, of Ala, Downs, of La, and Jones
of Iowa. Mr.. La Sere, of La, and Mr..
Isaac Holmes, of Charlestown, were the
only members of the House of Repre-
sentatives on board.
"Old Harry" must haze earned an
immensely Of wear and tear, at the ball
at Niblo's last night. The gentlemen
roud shake hands with him, and the
ladies mouid kiss him, spite Of the most
heroic circumstances, had the venerable
Senator been disposed to make any.
But he was too cautious to do any such
thing. He bore it patiently to the end,
and then cleared out and went to bed.
No doubt the old gentleman had
pleasant dreams, for he got up this morn
ing as bright and as cheerful as lark;
ate hearty breakfast, took walk mcQg
on the Battery, snulled in the invigora-
ting sea breeze, admired the scenery,
and then returned to his lodgings again,
to prepare for his voyage.
At two o'clock he jumped into his
carriage and was driven down to the
wharf, followed at first by some hun
dreds OF Clay boys, who kept shouting
and screaming at h topof Il Ell 'ulgS-
''Hurrah for Henry Clay" 'old ken
lucky forever" three cheers for the COM
promise,' and SO on and SO forth.
Arrived at the dock, the distinguished
stranger must have been dismayed at
the scene witch wa there pres .nted.
Some five or six thousand, full one-half
of them ladies', We're standing in solid
phalanx to receive him. The moment
the carriage came in 81 Eht shout Of vel
come welt up that must have conveyed
to the veteran some idea Of the re ect
entertained for him IN Gotham. Mr..
Clay Acknowledged the compllmentwlth
an indication ofthe head merely, for
there was no time for speaking. After
while he was safe on board, and wa
wing his handkerchief, he babe the people
kind adieu.
There was another storm of "hurrahs"

New York Democracy

For long time past the forlorn hope of the
Southern Democracy in their New York allies,
was reposed in the Old Hunkers, whose head
quarters was Idmmany Hail. In fact, that hall
was regarded as the very Mecca of the pure
Democratic faith but it too has at last fallen
into the hands Of the e-soilers--and as Sill
yer Grays succumbed before Sewardism in the
Wing party, so now the Hunkers are routed
from their last stronghold by the Vau Burentes.
The black flag waves over the capitol at Albany
and over old Tammany Hall. The only choice
offered by the two parties, is a choice between
Sewardism and Van Burenism. Here is a brie
account of the final rout at Iammany Hall:
