North River, we pass along several of the New
- York markets; and such miserable, filthy%
broken-down, anti beggarly-looking stalls and
market -places we never had the misfort tine to
behold before. Our sheds which formerly
stood along Market street were princely in
comparison. These places in New York look
like hot-beds of disease, corruption, and filth.
Here let me try to give a short description
Of tills magnificent floating palace, We do not
exaggerate when we call her by this name.
She hppears to be about one hundred and
sixty feet in length, and forty in breadth, at
the widest part. She has four boilers, four
smoke stacks, and - Machinery of the latest and

trip on the 4111 day of July last, and is, of
course, entirely new. The state-rooms are
ranged along both sides of the upper leek, and
on the after part of the lower. The furniture
Of each state-room is of walnut and plush vel
vet, with heavy silk damask and lace hang

est and most costly kind of velvet. The saloon
on the upper deck is furnished in the most
luxuriant manner with velvet carpet, elegant
mirrors, bronze statues, walnut and plush
velvet furniture, gold ornamented ceilings
and State-room walls, magnificent chandeliers,
and sumptuous lounges. The dining saloon
On the forward part of the lamer dank is alike
magnificent. On each side of the dining hall
are the berths ranged in three tiers, one above
the other. Each berth is about two feet and a
half in the elear,and they are hidden by curtains
of silk damask, crimson, purple, and green,
with heavy gilt cornices. They thus athi

The dining.table, when set, presents a magnifi

upon the table, are of silver, and of six lights.

unfortunately for voracious appetites, where
there is so much display, the substantals arc

satisfies himself with the numerous dishes
that areranged before him. Being determined,
however, to be satisfied, and to enjoy our VD...

was one of the most pleasant we ever expo'
rieneed. The sunset, all golden, never wits
more beautiful, and the water was calm as the
surface of a summer lake. As night and dark
ness came on the stars shone > with seemingly
unwonted brilliancy ; not a cloud appeared to
obscure a star, and the constellations were
easily discernible and readily found, while the
Connecticut light winked and blinked over
the waters of Long Island Sound.
About eleven o'clock we retired for rest. At
about ball-past three in the morning we awoke,

tlto cars at this place, and here, for the first

called sleeping cars, but they don't much look
as if they were intended for that purpose.
The charge for Occupying a carriage is one

should think they would be very cozy and
pleasant ; but to he thrown into one with
strangers, and particularly uncongenial ones,
we would rather not.

On our way to Boston we pass through Fall
River, Bridgeton, Stoughton, Weymouth, hid
other large manufacturing towns. Mr. Ed
monds, of this city, who was our travelling
companion, as we passed through these New
England States, said to me c " Do you notice

DOSTOSi.
We arrive in Boston by seven °meek., and
lire soon comfortably seated at the hreakhtit
table of the American House, kept by Mr.
Rice. Every care for the comfort of the guest
is taken here ; in this matter excelling sonic
of the hotels of our own city.. One is not
iaolbved 10 Wait all da;,- for his meal, after
having ordered it, but is attended to prompt
ly and politely. It tieing our first visit to
this city, we determined to remain over
night, for the purpose of Seeing 'whatever
of interest. the time upon our hands
Would allow. We accordingly visited a
sindio and n picture store, and 55W there,
amongst other things, an excellent painting,
by Meyer, styled "Consohttion,” representing
a :ister of Charity attending a dying soldier
in camp. The medicines are upon an old in
verted basket, and a coarse army blanket
covers the person of the soldier. Ills face
bears the imprint of death, and his hands are at
tenuated, and transparent with sickness. The
kind Sister, whose face beams with love and
kindness, is reading to the poor fellow words of
co»solation from an openbook. The picture is
certainly an excellent one. We also saw hero
a number of portraits of soldiers, ranking
from a sergeant tip to a lieutenant colonel—
Poston heroes, we were told. AMOng no peo
ple, as a class, is the love of their own people,
their own institutions, and their own relies,
so strongly marked as with the New England
people. We went from the picture gallery to
the Boston COllliaollS, of which we had heard
So lunch, and here again is the love of relies
strongly displayed. There is in the old Com
mon an elm whose age is not certainly
known, but it is supposed to be at least
two hundred years old. The elm is sur
rounded by a picket fence, to prevent its be
ing injured, and it has been bound several
times With strong iron bands. We could dis
tingniSh where it bad been bound years ago.
The tree had grown over the iron, leaving only
space enough uncovered to show that it had
been so secured. Bad this elm been in Phila
delphia, it might have rotted and blown away
for all any one here would have cared. The
Boston CommonS, WO Must Say, did not come
up to our ideas Of what they were. The
old Common does not contain over ill
teen acres. It has no carriage drive. The
trees arc large and old. It is quite hilly,
and rather picturesque. The new Common is
about the same size as the old one, and joins
it. It has no trees of ally extent in it. It has
a hot-house,, and is thickly planted with rare
exotic and other plants. There is a pond in
the centre, wills a number of swans and two
row-boats. The pond is serpentine in shape,
and is about one hundred yards long. There is
not the least shade in any part of the new
Common. An iron arbor stands on the edge
of the pool, but it is hmocent of anything like
a chair, and consequently of taa-a-ates, and
there is no necessity of imparting the advice
"Never take tea in the at-bor. ,, There is here
a log-cabin built by Abraham Lincoln, and in
which he lived in Illinois; an admission fee of
ten cents is charged to see this wonderful
house. Our mortal part having given out
while we were feasting the immortal, we re
turned to our hotel; and here we rust say
that of all the abominable cities to rind one's
way in, Boston is the most abominable. It
seems to have been built with the courthouse
as a centre; and all the other streets to
form. circles around it. Our experience
is, that to go two squares in Boston
one must walk four. We were informed,
however, that, although this be true of the
down town part ofiloston, the upper and new
er part is beautifully laid out and, in many re.
spects, like our own loved .Philadelphia. We
stopped on our way at the Boston Public Li
brary ; tint from some cause or other, which
we are unable to explain, the door was locked
and we Were unable to gain admittance. The
outside of the building presents a beautiful
appearance. it is of brown stone, two stories
in height, and is about forty feet in front,
Having refreshed our inner mall, we visited
Bunker BM Monument, which is easily
reached by means of the horse cars,
It is situated in the upper and eastern portion
of the city. It, with the ground adjoining,
occupies a space of about all acre, enclosed
with an iron railing. The mounds which were
part of the fortifications, still remain. A block
of granite bedded in the ground, marks the
Spot where General Warren fell. The top of
the monument is reached by means of circular
stone stairs, and from it an excellent view of
the City and its surroundings is had. -A- fee of
twenty cents is charged by the gate-keeper
to go np the monument. The grand organ of
which we had heard is played only on Wednes
day and Saturday afternoons, and as this was
Tuesday, we old not have the pleasure of hear_
ing this immense piece of musical mechanisin.
The only amusement going on during the eve
wing Was the minstrels, and as we did not feel
in as minstrel humor, we spent OUT evening
quietly at the hotel, enjoying, for a time; a
beautiful game of billiards between experts.
Neit morning, at half-past seven o'clock, we
took the Eastern railroad for Portland.
TO POUTLAI,JO
The passage to Portland was rather dusty,
but as everything along the route was new to
us we enjoyed it hugely. The scenery is I'3 tiler
fine, there being a diversity of hill and dale
and some beautiful water views. We pass on
our way many important Cities and towns,
some of which we know to have seen in con
nection with muslins ; we may mention
Lynn, Reading, Danvers, Andover, Haver
hill, Exeter, South Berwick, North . Berwick,
Somersworth, Rochester, Kennehunk, Bidde
ford, Ocarboro, and Saco. These towns are,
speaking - generally, not very large. The
houses are made principally of wood, neatly
painted. .A. church spire is visible in nearly
all of them. North Berwick is deserving of
notice, on account of the world-renowned
sponge-cake which may be obtained here. The
cars Wait dye minutes for and
no one allorna piss North Berwick without
securing some of this truly excellent sponge
cake. We met here our esteemed fellow-citi
zen, Charles E. 7,ex, Esq. It made me think
of home to see his familiar, jovial fade. We
had a pleasant chat and proceeded on our
way.
roraLmvp
We arrived in Portland shortly after one
o'clock. We did justice to our 0 inner, and did
not slight the blue-berry pudding, which
seems to be a favorite dish down East. Blue
berries arc very much like our huckleberries,
but arc larger and have fewer seeds. The pud
ding - which is made of them is, to our taste,
excellent. In fact, we have no hesitation in
saying that in pastry and sweetmeats the
Down-East folks excel. Having finished our
dinner, we called upon our old friend, Captain
8., who we found as bale and hearty as any
one could wish tube : and at his invitation we
eschewed the hotel, and were kindly welcomed
by him and his family LO their hearts and
home. There is no mistaking the welcome of
the New England people. It is from the
heart, and one cannot fail to feel that it is.
There is no doubtful coldness in it; but
the warmest glow of kind-heartedness draws
ore irresistibly toward them.. We turn
with pleasure from thoughts of crooked and
crowded - Boston to POrtland, the city of gar
dens. It is situated on a peninsula run
ning into Casco Bay, and has one of the finest
harbors in America. It was proposed to bring
the Great Eastern to this port upon the first
trip, as 'it was believed to be the most availa
ble in all respeets for the accommodation of
that immense steamship. In anticipation of
that event, a grand white marble hotel was
nearly completed by a Mr. Wood, but the
great ship failing to come to Portland,
the hotel has not yet been completed, and it
stands beautiful in its whiteness and desola_
tion. The cost of this enterprise must have
been over half a million of dollars, and it is
hardly, probable that one-fourth that amount
will ever be realized from it. Portland has a
theatre, at which Miss Avonia Jones was
playing "East Lynne. o The theatre is not
of much consequence. It is on the second
floor of a brick building On the main
street. The public buildings, the courthouse,
post-off i ce, &e., are fine structures. The
courthouse is nearly new, and has a
front of Pictou stone. Portland is the most
beautifully laid-out city we have ever had the
good fortune to visit. There is an air of home
comfort about the houses; nearly every one of
which is surrounded by a garden, luxuriating
in the finest flowers and the rarest plants. In
its harbor, Casco Bay, arc three hundred and
sixty-flve islands—one for every day in the
year—all of which arc large enough to build a
house upon. These islands are the resort of ex
cursionists, and on some is scenery of the
most romantic description. During outstay
we visited Cushing's Island, which is a 51.1 . 111-
Iner resort, and on which the Ottawa House
is built. Here is sea-bathing instill water and
surf. Here are pathless woods to Whitehead

and comfort. They are well furnished, and
are mech lighter and more airy than those

over, they would eventually come to the
conclusion that there was 110 necessity
for putting men in a car by themselves, speci

Gorham is the station on the Grand Prank
road, at which passengers for the White
Mountains alight. It has about a dozenhouses,
a post-attic°, and a large hotel called the "
House." Mans who go to the mountains
never go farther than the Alpine tfonse. It is
at the foot of the mountains and commands
sonic excellent views. There is adjacent to
this house, on the Peabody River and other
streams, fine trout fishing. Gorham is eight
miles front the " Glen House," and we find
awaiting, upon the arrival of the train, the
Glen-house coach.
PROM GORHAM TO THE: GLEE GOOSE.
We immediately take position on the top of
the coach. Inside riding is not the most agree
able on a line summer day, en the picturesque
road over which we are about to pass, and
however inconven ient,we advise ladies as well
as gentlemen visiting the Glen to secure, if
possible, an outside seat. We have six bay
horses, in splendid condition, and without de
lay are on our way. The road in some places
is as level as a race course, at others we
had to climb steep acclivities, trying to the
horses, and again to descend steep hills. The
springs of the coaches did some good service;
we were knocked about alinost like india
rubber balls. We passed through dense forests
of pine, maple, oak, black cherry, and other
trees. Delicious wild raspherriei, bunch
berries, and blueberries graced the roadside.
We noticed cross our path several times, di
rectly in front of the horses, partridges, seem
ing as tame as barn-door fowls. We cross one
or two rustic bridges, spanning...rivulets, and
for some distance the road runs along, the
Peabody River. We catch glimpses of this
stream as it slowly murmurs omits ever-onward
course, and as it opens to our view we hear
exclamations of delight from our fellow-travel
lers, Such as " superb 1 magnificent! lovely!”
Nothing, however, that pen can write DM
ell portray can equal the beauty of this ride.
With the mountains ever in view, and with
the feeling that we arc going upward continua
ally, the mind free from care, all nature la
vishing her charms upon us, our organ of
speech cannot find words to express the
thoughts of our hearts, and we sit in silent ad
miration and awe. To our minds, the-ride
along this road is more beautiful than the
ascent of Mount Washington itself. 'Tis true,
there is something more grand and awful
in ascending the exceedingly high mountain,
but for real beauty we claim that this road ex
cels. The air was soft, and our horses, as if
considerate of our enjoyment, prolonged it
by crawling up the long ascent. As we neared
the Glen House, the driver of the coach, who
was a very agreeable person, and who gave
us all the information we desired, told us
we were now eight hundred feet higher than
when we started. Arrived at
THE GLEN HOLSE,
Mr. Thompson, the host with solemn mien,
gravely informed us that the first thing we
had to do was to get down. We thought he
must be a queer man to make such a sage re
mark, and wondered 'whether he was going to
tell us after we were down what the next thing
to do was. We bad keen aPpetites, ant the
dinner was about ready. Without air. ThOmP"
sen's instructions, we went to dinner and en
joyed it hugely. After dinner we sat out on
the porch and, through a telescope, had a view
up Mount Washington and descried an ap
proaching stage. We also enjoyed looking at
a series of stereoscopic views of the moun
tains, including amongst others one of the Tip
Top House, where we had made up our
minds to spend the night, with the ob
ject of seeing sunset and sunrise on
the top of the mountain. We concluded
that the Tip Top House was a rocky place.
The Glen House is advantageort9ly situated on
a shall plateau in front of Mount Washington
range. Before the hotel is a deep valley be
yond which and intervening between the
mountains is a sylvan landscape beautifully
relieving the sterner features of the rugged
mountains beyond. Mount Washington sum
mit, rearing its head 0,201) feet above the sea
level, bears west by south, anti beyond that,
hut not visible from the Glen House, is the
Franconia Notch. We have been frommed that
although there are mountains of greater alti
tude, and mountains far more difficult of as
cent, up which all the engineering science of
the world could not construct a carriage road.
yet there is no mountain range in North Ame
rica more calculated to impress the mind with
a sense of the sublime wan that opposite
the Glen House.
RUSH OP VISITORS
We were informed by the gentlemanly clerk
at the Glen that never in its history had there
been such a rash of visitOrS to it as ;fiherQllll,d
been this season. The day before our arrival
there had one hundred and fifty persons gone
from the house, and about one hundred had
arrived. A very intelligent lady, with whom
we bad the pleasure of conversing, told us
that the day she came she slept in a room with
seven others, four. of whom slept on the floor,
and the other four on two beds. She said that
her room-mates were, principally old ladies,
and their disgust at their beds was fully ven
tilated during the whole night, so that sleep
in that room was out of the question. There
arc very few visitors for the season at this
hotel, nor are they desired. The proprietor
Prefers transient guests. This is a shrewd
calculation as it is suggestive of egregious
gains in the form of stage fares. The house is
well conducted, and the accommodations all
that could be expected. There were no nota
bilities at the house, except a Marquis and
Marchioness and suite, who called themselves
from England.
There is very little monkey-show display at
the mountains. There is very little extrava
gant dressing, and none of that stuck-up ex
clusiveness which one always meets at Sara
toga, Cape May, and other bathing or water
ing places. People actually come here for en
joyment and recuperation, and not to ape a
sham aristocracy.
ASCENT OP MOUNT WASHINGTON
To sojourn at the base of White Mountains,
without ascending to its summit, would be so
heterodox, that we determined to go the whole
figure without delay, and see sunset and. sun
rise on the Very top of the mountain. AC
cordingly, at five o'clock in the afternoon,
having secured a carriage for the purpose, we
began the ascent. The day was everything
that could have been desired. There never
was a day morerree from mist, and our horses
were fresh, not having been up before during
the day. We had five in OUT Wagon, besides
the driver, and a four-horse tear.
Our fellow-travellers consisted of a young
lady from Portland, a g,entlernan from Phila
delphia, and two other young gentlemen from
New York. Our way trial enlivened with
"quips and cranks, and wreathed smiles," re
lieved with frequent shouts of hilaTious
laughter. There was also a six-horse team,
which went up at the same time. There were
seven in that wagon, beside the driver. It
was amusing to see the Kalerdaseopic changes
of clothing as we continued to ascend. First
travelling dresses Were visible; shortly after
wards woolen sacks were assumed. As we
continued to ascend, and the cold became
greater, heavy blanket shawls were produced,
and soon after thick woolen scarfs. The
spirits of everybody seemed to raise by the
cold, and all declared it to be "first-rate,"
"jolly," tIP-t0p. 55 We soon crossed Viptol . 4
liridge, which crosses one of the tributaries to
the St. Lawrence River, which is crossed by its
more majestic namesake ; also, shortly above,
is a bridge crossing another wild "trepan,
called the Prince Albert Bridge. We soon
reached the lialf-way house; the driver stopped

Let us look back to the place which we have
left. Yet see the Glen House below, looking
no larger than a playhouse. The mountains
surrounding it look
: like ordinary hills. The
large pine trees look - like green sward. The
carriage road over which we have Just imaged
looks like a narrow - ribbon lying in careless

who exclaimed so frequently, "Delightful!"
"Charming!" "Beautiful !" "Grand I" "Tip
top!" The driver pointed out to us on the
side of the mountain, a few rods distant from
the carriage-way, a patch of snow. There it
lay, in the middle of the Month of July. It
didn't look near so refreshing as we expect9d
to see it; for by this time we were nearly
frozen with cold, and we were consequently
prepared for mountains of ice almost.
A turn in the road brought us in sight of the
Tip-Top /louse, one-mid-a-haltstory einmern.
The first story 3s built of the roughest sort of
stone, laid together elesely,and forming, a wall
some three feet in thickness. The roof was a
slanting one of heavy timbers, with WilltiOWs
cut in it for light for the upper story. The roof
was chained down by means of heavy iron
cables, firmly scoured in the rocks to prevent
it being Mown away. We were soon at the
stable, and a short walk up a steep and rough
path took us within. We were glad to find
ourselves in an unpretending but comfortable
apartment, about eighteen by twenty-five
feet, heated by a stove, and filled with
visitors, twelve of whom had just arrived. The
company assembled in the sitting-room was a
cheerful and happy one, and all seemed ready
to talk without the formality of an introduc
tion. Some of the party present, we after
wards learned, had come up on horseback from
the Crawford House. Having partaken of a
substantial Slipper of 'beefsteak, ham and egp,
and black cake, tea, To, almost everybody;
wrote a letter on the paper to be purchased at
the desk, having on one side of the sheet and
on the envelope a picture of the Tip-top
House. Soon all retired to bed in the house
near by, sometimes called the Summit J rouse.
it being the intention of all to get up at fout3
Oeloek the next morning to see the sun rise.
The rooms of this house are neither large nor
elegant. They are, in fact; on the contrary,
quite the reverse.•' They are about six by
eight, have oil-cloth on the floor, and the beds
arc as hard as boards. There is a plentiful
scarcity of pillows, and the bed-clothes are .
as damp as if they had been wrung and
not dried, Enduring these privations
with the greatest heroism we lay until the
morning dawn appeared in our room. This
was shortly after .three o'clock. We then
arose, and dressing as warmly as our ward
robe allowed, we took position on the highest
stone to await the rising of the sun. *e ima
gined that WO were firstup,hut were agreeably
surprised to hear a voice calling to us to come
up higher. We looked in the direction of the
voice and saw a geatleman whom we saw
on the evening previous st t,ho k house.
IVe, gladly accepted his invitation; - 4 d soon
learned from him that he %vigil reiddent of
New Hampshire, and in the habit of visiting
the mountains several times during each sum
mer. He pointed out several places of inte
rest, and said that, during all his visits to the
mountain, he had never seen a more beau
tiful sunset than we.- had had on the
evening previous, and, from appearances, we
were to have a sunrise of unexcelled beauty.
Before long the visitors made their appear
ance, and the morn looked red in the east.
The lakes in all directions lighted up and pre
sented the appearance of lakes of fire. Mist
rose from them and hung tremblingly above
them, presenting the appearance of water, at
the distance we saw it. The mountains
around, owing to the heavy mist, were but
dimly descried. '
As we looked far oil to the east for the Great
Xing of day, the mist rolling backward as if
fearful of his presence, to our surprise and de
light, the sun instead of rising far off where
we looked for it, appeared in a--spot much
nearer. All blirst out in a unanimous excla
mation of delight. The apParent - pyrotech
nic display on the lake, and the blood-co
lored mist above it, instead of being, as
we supposed, a reflection from the sun, was
caused by his actual presence. As it rose and
came fully in sight, lighting up the clouds
with rosy tints, it appeared compressed on the
-uPPer, ana lower part, and expandcd.on the
sides. This appearance . was no • doubt occa
sioned by the refraction of light, owing to the
point from which we viewed it, being above
where the San appeared. Sunrise on the top of
Mount Washington cannot be described. It is a
sight of a lifetime. It can never be forgotten.
As the mist cleared away and the sun shone
more brightly, we were presented on all sides
a succession of the grandest and most enchant
ing scenery ever beheld by mortal eyes. Far
down in the plains of New Hampshire were to
be seen - the green fields, comfortable farms,
picturesque villages amongst others, we no
ticed Pittsburg, forty nines nistar.t. In .the
dim distance, a portion of Lake Winnepcsau
kee was plainly visible, and we could recog 7
idze the village of Conway. We could also see
the crook.ed Androscoggin; and other places of
interest Whose names are not now remem
bered.
Having partaken of a hearty breakfast, we
left the Tip-Top House at six 9 , clock in the
morning, and }l•e made the downward jour
ney pleasantly, enjoying the magnificent
scenery beloW and around without further in
cident, and we arrived at the Glen House at
halfpast seven o'clock.
Taking; the wholo thing into consideration, a
trip, from Whiladelphia to the White ➢Loup
tains, by the way of Newport, Boston, Port_
land, and Gorham, is as pleasant, we venture
to say, as any other in the United States, and
the scenery from the town of Bethel, on the
Grand Trunk Railway, to the Glen gouge, an..l
that ivgshingtoni in a
- cireulVof ten miles, is not surpassed by any
in the world. The American who visits
gurope, without having first seen the moun
tains Of New Hampshire, is devoid of a correct
appreciation of the beautiful.

I commence my letter with a good, healthy
gre'ad l For the past two days / 111 We suffered
an annoyance,eompared to which, finding your
self just too 'late for dinner wifh a ravishing
appetite, or that your bathing robes have been
appropriated about 11 A. M. by some irrespec
tcr of commandments, are trifles. The daily
routine of pleasure-seekers here is familiar to
many; and that too, knock out one of the items,
e6pecially, if it be the most important, is some.
thing akin to the play of Hamlet with the char
acter of the Prince omitted. For instance,
those of us Who rise with the sun,, take an ap
petizer along the beach in the shape of a two
mile stroll before breakfast, and then resort
to billiards, bowling ; shooting, and driving,

Old and ever welcomed friend, whose clear
face, and clean, open countenance, even before
communicating a word of the intelligence you
have been so longing for, makes you the pos
sessor of an indescribable pleasure. Imagine,
then, if you can, the bitter disappointment,
as you step confidently to the agent, and ask
for that friend; The Press, and you are met
with the reply, "very sorry, sir} all gone!"
Entreaty, supplication, or profanity, evoke no
other reply, and as Lyon rush from one dealer

hundreds of your more fortunate neighbors in
sonic delightful, cosy nook, with feet at the
proper elevation, and frttgrant Havana,digest
ing with greedy avidity the columns of spicy
items of news, politics and literature, collated
daily from every accessible quarter of the
globe, yon feel that you have just so many in
veterate enemies who are rocking merry over
your misery. .For the next two hours, until
you can beg, borrow, or steal a copy, you are
in about as uncomfortable a condition of mind
as the inhabitants of a place who will greet
the leaders of the recent rebellion as 01(1 ne

grievous injuiry, but I forgiVe him, as he pro
mises that his supply in future shall equal the
demand, if he has to monopolize the entire

The great statesman - is a centre of attrac

to enshrine him deeper in the hearts of his

upon every occasion of his appearance in the

licacy, which is highly appreciated by himself
and members of his family, his privacy is not
invaded, and the visitors appear to have re
solved themselves into a body-guard to pre
vent any annoyacctis, and render his visit as
pleasant and beneficial as possible. lAA eve

SEORBTARY REWARD
Excitement and gayety have held complete
sway on Cape Island for a week past ; for what
with balls, concerts, hops, and the arrival of
Secretary Seward, the heads of half the guests
have been turned. The principal event of the
preceding week has been the arriyal of the
Secretary of State, Mr, Frederick Seward, At

put out and joined the steamer, and from the
captain the rowers learned that Mr. Seward
had arrived on the gunboat Northerner, then
lying in the Breakwater, and that he might be
e:ipected that evening. Upon his arrival at the
steamboat landing he was met by a deputation
of guests from Congress Hall, and was escorted
to the cottage provided- for him with all due
form. He bas employed his time since here
in riding out, and on Saturday last was upon
the beach, about bathing hour, in company
with your eminent townsman, Benj. Brew

cheered by the assembled crowds, which he
