The PREsIDESr's LEyEE.-Last evening the sec
ond public reception by the Chief Magistrate was
had, and was exceedingly well attended. We have
heard, however, from two or three unfortunate in
dividuals who suffered by the system that set Of
fellows attend the levees with miserable oyercoats
and shocking bad hats, and always, when leaving,
take the best garment and hat they can find in the
ante-room.
These fellows if detected, should be tied TO the
whipping-post and logged soundly se9
MUsIc.--The visiters at the reception Of the
President last evening, were entertained with deli

This was an agreeable surprise to the visiters, it
not having been the custom heretofore to have
music, except at the concluding reception Of the
season.
