This morning, at IL O'Clock, Baron Renfrew and
suite, together with Lord Lyons, accompanied by

7. U. Walter and Captain Franklin Chief Engineer
OF the Government works, and Captain G.. W. c.
Huntington, and were escorted through the build
ing. Visiting first the library, the party passcd nv
private staircase to the Senate Chamber and the
committee rooms, and thence to the rotunda where
they passed round and examined with much inter
est the various historical paintings, and thence
through the old Hall of the House of Representa
tves to the Hall of the House. where several of
the party made many inquiries touching the ar
rangements and regulations such as inouiring
which side OF the Hall the Administration members
occupy, and which the opposition, and as to the
means of access to the floor and galleries by the
people at large, etc.
They then passed through the Speakers room,
and thence by private stairway to the Agricultu-
raj and other rooms, the Naval and Military Com
mlttee apartments. and offices of the Senate and
expressed themselves highly gratifed with what
they saw. During the half hour that the Baron and
suite remained inside the Capitol building, large
crowd of persons had assembled on and about the
steps OF the East front, eager to obtain peep at
the nations distinguished guests After taking
cursory survey of the surroundings from the porti
co OF the East front, the party descended the steps,
entered their carriages, and returned to the Execu
tive Mansion.
THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION THIS MORNING.
notwithstanding the brief notice of the public
reception given by the President this morning at
the Executive Mansion in honor of Baron Renfrav
there was an immense gathering present The
doors were thrown open at II o'clock. The re.
ception was to have continued until l P. NJ but
after the expiration of half hour the Baron ap-
pearing considerably fatigued, it was deemed best
to have him retire.
This, of course, terminated the reception, to the
disappointment and regret of numbers, who mad
not found 1t convenient to be present until after
that time. The Baron, however afterward took
position central vii of tha
where an excellent opportunity was afforded those
below of fbehOlding him.

ons took position at the Presidents right hand =

ohcIated in making the presentations.
The Baron was dressed very much yester.
day, IN coat OF blue, grey pantaloons, badly fit
ting white vest, (he should employ an American
tailor, and with hands ungloved. As the visitors
passed him he inclined his head to each in turn
though very many of the ladies managed, by hook
or crook, to shake hands with him.
President Buchanan, who seemed in excellent
spirits, went through the usual hand shaking ordeal
of reception days with characteristic ease and cor
diality, and the royal visitor doubtless got some
new wrin les as to the democratic simplicity which
characteriZes the intercourse between ruler and
people in the United States
The police arrangements were defective as by
them the crowd were compelled to make their en-
trance and exit through a single door, and were
restricted to half the door at that's consequently So
much time was lost in waiting for those inside to
get ont that but small proportion of the visitors
were enabled to effect entrance before the
Baron left the East Room.
Messrs. Philip Il Solomons, stationers, after the
reception ceremonies were over, presented to Lord
Renfrew large and magnificent photograph, taken
by special permission, from Rossiter and Mignet's
painting of the "Home of Washington" tastefuy
framed Also, copy of "Lossing's Illustrated
Mount Vernon" bound in royal blue, with elabor-
ate gliding, containing beautifully engrossed pre-
sentation leaf, bearing the of the Baron. This
was intended as memorial of his visit to Mount
Vernon.
In the course of the afternoon his Lordship visited
the Patent office, attended by his suite, under the
escort OF Secretary Thompson. Subsequently the
party, In company with Miss Lane and Mrs. Secre-
tary Thompson, passed nearly two hours at Mrs
Smith Institute for young ladies'
Lord Renfrew has frequently whilst here ex-
pressed himself as much pleased with the country
and the courteous attentions and department of the
people.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Chandos, who
had followed in the Royal train, arrived here to-
night. At the Presidents dinner the Diplomatic
Corps and the representatives of the Army and Navy
were among the guests. The grand display of

HIDING PLACE OF HEAVY DEFAULrER.-A letter
from Key West says that there is now secreted
there millionaire, one Solano Alvear late Presi-
dent of the Havana branch of the Credito Espanol.
This person is defauter to the amount of 81 276-
Oo0, and landed at Key West one stormy night,
from a sail boat, and Immediately sought safe re-
treat from the vulgar gaze OF parties who had
been sent over from Havana in pursuit. Our rela-
tions with Spain permit no reclamation of fugi-
tives, and hence the pursuers of this extensive
hnancier have but little prospect of getting him
back in a legal way. 60 s..- - ~
