THE LAsr4LEvEE.--IAst night the President
held his last reception for the season. Such an
other brilliant crowd would be hard to find The
number present was 80 great that promensding
was out OF the question The whole room might
be called whirlpool OF sparkling humanity, in
which ones individuality, when once engulfed,
was hopelessly lost. At 80 tfasKA HF
The usual array of army and navy officers were
present Many of the sufferers by the action of
the late Naval Board showed that they were capa-
BILE OF duty at court, If not in camp or on the
Extraordinary ENJOYS, ministers, and ambassadors,
were so plenty thaa attaches to the different for
eign embassies were completely overshadowed by
the greatness Of their masters
Both Houses of Congress contributed to swell
the numbers of the crowd. So well was the House
represented, that had the Speaker, who was al
ways surrounded bya brilliant throng, ordered
call of the House, there were enough of officers
But how shall We speak Of the ladies' present ?
Every State in the Union was represented, and
every Court iii Europe. Beauty Of every STYLE
eyes of every hue, beamed on one at every step
1t was gorgeous scene sAs
The Senate was well represented more than a
quorum Of that body being present. The Cabinet
and various Bureaus of each Department, contrib
uted their quota to swell the number present
Even the aboriginal inhabitants OF the country
were represented by the delegations Of Indians
now in town. These children Of the forest were
dressed in their gala costume and like some of
the fair ones present had used the paint freely
They were always surrounded by curious throng,
and many q tair hand sought pressure from the
swarthy palms of the various braves.
The GOOD Night" was not played on this oc-
casion until a much later hour than usual, and
even the brilliant throng seemed unwilling to leave
the scene Of so many pleasant hours, which would
not return except with winter.
Before the next season will commence the pres
ent occupant of the White House viii have found
that bis lease has expired and win know who is to
be his successor. sQE
How curious it would be If General Pierce should
have an opportunity to return the cvilities shown
him by Mr.. Fillmore as the former was about taking
the vacant Presidential chair. But stranger things
have happened.
PROSE- AND PoErRY The Richmond Examiner,
strong Buchanan advocate, alluding to recent
article which appeared in the lesser organ Pierce,
Forney, Co., in this city, treats our neighbor
rather cavalierly, applying to him the following
expressions to-wit: |" The faithless phantom of a
star, the ignis fatssus that fits only to deceive
the unwary"-" the treacherous Jack -o'lantern'-
the asterisk of the Federal city," &C., &c. We
put the above into machi,,e and in few minutes
it came out transposed and composed as follows:
Loi "the faithless phantom Of starl'
The man Of "astersk fame is-uarl
Behold, the Sgnis fataus fits" ~
And thinks to give Buchanan fits
tasks for " "blackmail, as it goes,
And thrusts in every mess, it's nosei
Tor "WArEa" now it criesl Slapdash
The appropriation goes to smashl
Eight Congressman it tries at sae
The price, /" ten thousand" on the nail
Itself it offers to throw in"
But the whole batch won't bring pinl
Demented with the fate il meets
The air with awful blows il beats
The treacherous Jack-o' Lantern" soarsl
The fat boy of Matagorda "-roars!
Ho,7epd,tyn na0Rstruna il appears
But, at sooe't bite so calm your fears
The THEATRE.-Last night Mr. Wallack per-
formed the part of The Stranger with credit to
himself except in his overstrained efforts to give
deep intonaton to his voice, when nothing could
be heard but rumbling noise resembling distant
thunder more than the human voice.
Mr.. Langdon and Mr.. Adams supported their
characters as usual. The frstnamed gentleman
never did SO well before as in some portions of
that drama, in the character of Francis
Mrs. Proctor as Mrs. Haller never, for one mo-
ment, allowed the audience to suppose that she
had forgotten her crime; the memory of it was
ever present, killing JOY as well as sleep.
The French dancers were well received, as was
the after piece, Black Eyed Susan, which seemed
to please the b'hoys very much
Mr. j. w. Wallack .Jr anneare In tbo chor,,
ter of Rob Roy, al the Theatreto-night. This is
his last appearance.
The evenings entertainment will conclude with
the farce of the Maniac Lover, in which Jefferson
appears.
