Prince looked proudly happy. ~.!I:be ,Duke of
Wellington, who this day tampleted his eigh . ..
ty-second year, had been there nearly two
hours before, and the conimissioners and all_
the officials and ladies of the household sur
rounding the throne, - presented a scene! of .ix-
H tmordinary-spiendor.- The-National Anthem
was ?Wormed, and the music produced a most
ghtfnl effect in the glass,building,. Prince
bert, with the Commissioners, presented him
self, before the Queen and read the irepor i as
described in the official programme. I cduld
not hear the tones of ,:the Queen when she
read her reply from the post, rwas placed, but
the fret is any mortal VOiet3, is lost in the vast
edifice. The Archbishop of Canterbury then
delivered this prayer of inauguration which was
followedlby. the Hallelujalk Chorus of Handel,
under the direction of Sir Henry K. Big
Tha effect of this was most striking, and the
voices of the choristers were heard in the full
eSt perfection. A procession was then formed
of a most :interesting character. The etate
heralds, preceding Messrs. Paxton, Fox and
Henderson, led the way. Then came all ithe
offidials eug,aged in constructing the building;
afterwards the foreign - acting commissioners,
and most singular was-it to see all the various.
costumes worn by hard headed, capable men
from every quarter of the world: Then nil
lowed theßeyal Commissioners,amongst whom
I noticed Mr. Cobden, dressed in a plain black
coat. Then followed the duke of Wellington,
walking side by side; with the Marquis of An..
glesea ; both wcr' loudly cheered. The for
eign ambassadors, among whom Mr.:Lawrence
appeared to considerable advantag,e, from his
age and commanding appearance followed,and
her Majesty's ministers, headed by Lord John
Russell. - These were loudly applauded; ancl
lastly the Queen and Prince Albert.,! the one
leading th 2, Prince of Wales, and the other the
Princess Royal, closing the procession with!
the royal Prussian guests at the palace, and
the ladies of the household. - The procession
first marched along the British or western
nave, and Then; recrossing the transept, passed
on the eastern extremity, the United States'
end. 'At every step new acclamations arose ;
the music from the various organs saluted the
'Procession as it passed, and thus every Person
,in the building Was enabled to See every per-
Sonia the eortege; The Queen. hen' declared
the exhibition opened ; and the trumpets. and I
l 1
artillery announe the-fact to. the countless
l
fpfultitude outside. The whole auditory arose
to give a parting cheer, or a series of ieafen
ink acclamations of joy, and the ceriraony ter
minated by the retirement of the Queen, Who
went back to Buckingham Palace in the state
in which she had coma: , Thelnaltitudein the
park ivere countless. I looked through the
glass window, and a sea of human beings sur
rounded me on all 'sides. Every body was in
good'humor, and all the superstitious present
iments of mischief Which had been forined in
the imagination' of some minds, Were 'wholly
t
falsified. Never was so great a 'spectacle
aug,nrateci with so much good order and t n
qpility, halite presence of perhaps half a mill
ion of human beings.
The Queen having, left the building, the
company began to' circulate. Perhaps your
readers at ii distance will 'proceed with me in
a rapid.tour throughout the various depart
ments of the exhibition.. The first objects
which strike the visiter upon entrance, either
id. the north or the south Mad of the transept,
are two magnificent gates stretching across,
which havin,g Passed, he'finds himself in the
centre of the building, amidst statuary, foun
tains, Paint - trees, and rare tropical shrubs, the
equestrian statues of the Queen and • Prince
Albert forming-the Most prominent features,
'amidst in infinite - multitude of `objects, each -
`ofwhich is displayed to the best advantage.—
I Along the nave, both towards the east and the
1 west, there is a succession of gigantic statue
rY, in marble, iron, bronze, and zinc, the latter
of a very remarkable diameter.:''Alniost the
firstobjeetWhich arrests - yotir attention is the
Koh-i-noor diamond, secured in alstrong cage
!of-iron, richly gilded; and, by' a 'contrivance,
I this precious jewel, which isplaced on a small
1 pedestal, sinks at night . down into the
che-st - npon which the cage rests, so that it is
safe and secure nght and day. Crowds flock
ed round this jewel to admire its siza'and bril.
Laney: Along the Whole length of tim!build
ing, in_ the centre of the nave, is placed la suc
cession of most striking objects, relieved by
the statuary.. There are models of bridges
and towns, all of elaborate execution, and
amongst - them the-model of Liverpool holds
the foremost rank. There are, besides, enor- 1
Mons telescopes, - eiquisite 'models of machin- 1
ery;small chapels to exhibit the specimens :of
stained glass, the Aeis and Galitea - filfuntains,
the; American statues of the iYoundoil Indian
and the Greek Slafe,the'statue of Sh.lkstieMe,
and the ehrystal fountain in the centreef the
transept, presenting a very -graceful Mid krill . -
ing appearance, Perhaps the whole World hag
never furnished such - a remarkable' series of
attractive'objects as arc contained in thelnave.
I was prepared to find that the articles from
the United. States would fall far short of the

occupies a small department on the south, and
this is scarcely complete; but, to. compensate
for this, Austria also, on the north and south

dressed in a Simple Austrian green uniform,

of one-half its poignancy.- It was a source of
consolation however, to be with him in his

NEW YOILX, May 15, ]B5l.
EDITORS OF THE DE:soca..yr had
quite a time," the day before yesterd.ty, in
New York. President Fillmore, Daniel Web
ster, and many more great men, condescended
to pay us a visit, review our magnificent mili
tary companies, test the quality of our cookery,
taste the flavor of our wines, and do us many
other favors of a like character. It had been
announced that the President would arrie
about 12 o'clock, and that a grand,-procession
w4uld immediately be formed to escort him
though Broadway and several other of the
principal thoroughfares, in ordVolive the
fair daughters of tile - Empire City an opportu
nity to waive:lE6i handki#ltiefs 14., him.. This
announcement brought oat` nll the feminine
portion of our population, at an early hour,
and every door, window, balcony, stone-heap,
brick-pile, and box, on 'the route of the proces
sion was at once seized and. occupied by the
fair gazers: The sun came out intensely hot;
and the'President it seemed would not come
at all. Still the "army of occupation" main
tained its position ; 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and
3 o'clock passed and still no President made
his appearance. At last, n shout was heard
down at the Battery ; the fifes screeched, and
the drams beat, and on came the President in
! a carriage drawn by six magnificent bays.—
He was well received, and appeared happy.—
The proeession was splendid and of intermina
bleiength, and every thing else was of timtop
order. I have no doubt that President Fill
more was well satisfied with his• reception;
at any rate, he appeared to be - .
All sorts of rumors are afloat in the City to.
day, in relefon to difficulties in the Cabinet.
It is said that Mr. Webster. will resign hi a
short time: There is but little reliance to be,
placcd - in any of these rumors especially those
relating to Mr; Webster. As for City politics
they have collie to be regarded among us, as
mere bnsines.l speculation's'. Candidates for
the Common Council or Mayoralty are almost
always selected by both parties, with reference I
to the amountl of cash they fire willing to ex. t
pend, during] the election. They generally
"shell out" td the extent of $20,000 if they
go for the Chief Magistracy of the Empire
City—never less than $lO,OOO, and sometimes
as high as $50,000. It costs an Alderman
froth $3,000 to 410;000, according to the
Ward, and the known weight of his purse—
an Assistant Alderman, a little more than half
as much. •
•It is said, that Dr. Moffat is to be the next
candidate for the iliftlyoralty, on the Democrat.
isticket. I hardly credit the report, however.
Both parties have been coquetting with Dr.
Moffat, for several years, and have used every
artifice to get him to accept the; nomination'
for Mayor. Ho has millions of dollars, and in
case of his being.a candidate, ho would "came
down" like a prince; but he is too keen, I
think,to be caught by any such. municipal:bau
ble.. As, however, in addition to his princely
mansion iu Union Square, and,his magnificent
buildings in Broadway- - -caelt house of which
