Our corporation, having rcconsidered
their first churlish refusal to entertain
the President, have appropriated a suita-
BILE sum for the purpose. and tomorrow
We are to have five thousand dollars worth
of sightseeing. The announcement that
Gen. Pierce was really coming, has been
as exciting to our community as the ira
ditional blast of Astolpho's horn was of
yore. All classes without distinction of
party are anxious to testify their respect
to the Chief Magistrate of the Republic.
We shall have a glorious procession to-
morrow; all our military will be out. and a
number of civil societies and fremen.-
The President is expected to arrive, at Il 9

Before thy presence, Lord We bond,
And for thy smile and blessing pray.
For Thou dost sway tho tides of thought, :
And hold the issues In thy hand,

And all that human skill has planned.
Thou lead'st tho restless powers of mind

You who are out of our atmosphere may
not have caught the Juror. but here it is
a regular epidemic. / must give you a
few items of news before closing. -
The Hibernians have had an ihdigna-

themselves the odium of the late riot

lalahs, and all, being the only party not
in the least TO blame. Justice Stuart, how
ever, thinks differently. The counsel Of
the rioters that were arrested, made np-
plication to him yesterday, TO dismiss the
charge. but he declined, somewhat indig-

Our weather. lately, has been compa-
ratively cool.' There is good breeze
to-day, and the mercury ranges between
rs and 80 in the shade. Our city In.
spector's Report shows 539 deaths, for
the week ending the 9th instant; two were
from cholera. but this need occasion no
alarm, as we have one or two cases every
year. Owing TO an advance in freight
yesterday. and disposition TO await later
advices by the Arabia, the market for
breadstutfs yesterday, was less animated,
though quotations remained unchanged.
Cotton was dull with sales,of 800 bales.
