The President's Reception Grand Military Dis play A Heavy Shower Inauguration of the Crys tal Palace Distinguished Strangers Scenes in' and abou t the Palace Speech of Presiden t ' Pierce, dec, &c. ' i Thursday was a great day jn New York, and it is estimated that its population was temporarily increas ed to nearly a million of souls by the great influx of strangers, to witness the reception of President Pierce. The Express, of Thursday afternoon, says : Providence has favored ua with one of the pleasant est day of the year, and thousands upon thousands of our fellow citizens from near and far points are here to enjoy it. The cars and steamboats, public and pri vate conveyances, have come thronged with people. Many are here from the other side of the Atlantic, many from the shores of the Pacific, and tens of thou sands from the more accessible quarters of our own land. "We see mingled in the crowds, parties from, our Indian tribes, 4i Celestials" from China, Germans, Swiss, Italians, and Europeans, of every country and tongue. Many ofr them appear in costume, and add thereby not a little, to the grand picture of ceremonies. The greatest picture of all is the military of the city, who. better than any thing else perhaps, in the city, represent the varied character of our people. Every country of Europe now has its military repre sentation here. There are out regiments of Irish aod J!ermans; companies of Scotch and Italians; Veter ans of 1S12; Mexican volunteers of 1848, all sorts of military, and all sorts and conditions of people, j The city, between 6 and 10 o'clock in the morning, was thronged with the military, moving to aqd fro, and in the bracing morning looked busier, merrier, and . gayer than we have ever seen it before.

Theodore Sedgwick, Esq., President of the Asso ciation, then arose and remarked in substance as fol lows: He first returned thanks to the President for at tending the inauguration. He was glad that the exhi bition had secured the support and approbation of our own government, though mainly relying upon its own energies. He paid a compliment to Daniel Webster, (pointing to his statue near him) who, among the first had lent his influence and name to this enterprise. (Cheers.) He then dwelt npon the importance of bringing before the American people the genius and industry of the Old World inasmuch as the exhibi tion of them would diffuse like tastes among our own people. To this address President Pierce replied a3 follows: Mr. President and Gentlemen : I return you my most warm and cordial thanks for the honor you have done me. I come to be present at the inauguration of this building, and to express the respect I entertain for this great Industrial Exhibition, designed and cal culated to promote all that belongs to the interests of our country. You, sir, and the gentlemen associated with you, have laid claim in all that you have done to thanks that will be enduring. Whatever short-comings you have spoken of, may be, but I can only say they appear not here, and, so far as I have learned, they appear not at all.

THE COMMITTEE. neat soldiery appearance. UniorF Park, Astor Puice, the Lower Park, the Battery, were - the prominent places for meeting in the morning. -'- v . ; , As the steamboat Josephine, gaily decked with flags, having the President and suite, on board, nea red the Battery, the air resounded with the iivqs. of the im mense mulitude assembled on the Battery, and on the vessels in the harbor, added to which the deafen ing roar of the cannon, made the scene a very impres sive one. , I In reply to an address of welcome by Mayor jWes- tervelt, President Pierce made an eloquent speech, during which: he was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the immense audience. After a review of the troops,' the President, on horseback, escorted by a military staff, proceeded in line towards the Crystal Palace. ! At 12 o'clock, as'the grand procession was moving up Broadway, a most inopportune and heavy shower came pattering down upon the head of the President, and upon the Secretaries, the bright uniforms and dash ing plumes of the staff, and the military. Broadway was lined and thronged with men. and women, and children, and the instant scattering of 'h orse, foot and dragoons" was such as if legions of Cossacks had suddenly made a charge on them. 1 he military, even, did not "stand fire " in iu cases, but in jmany broke up the procession, and fled under awnings, into shops, house, &c. The brilliant throngs of specta tor s fled in all directions for shelter. The shower last ed about 15 minutes, when the procession re-formed, as well as possible, but much of it was wet, dripping, or draggled. . ! SCENES AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. j The great centre of attraction, the Crystal Palnce, was the scene of much excitement all day, the specta cle presented, in that neighborhood, was one of the ' most stirring character. Nothing like it was ever seen in New York before. From early morning immense crowds of people came pouring in from the lower part of the city, from Brooklyn, Williamsburgh, and the country roundabout.- Every kind of vehicle was put in requisition, and every means and mode of-conveyance seemed to have more business on hand than it could accomplish. The sixth, eighth and thir avenues, and the Harlem . cars were crowded to suffocation, almost, and the va rious lines of omnibuses were full, both inside and out. The hacks were" extensively pressed into service, and so were private carriages driving hither and thither but all shaping their course to the common focis, up town. Tovyards noon, the main avenues leading to the Plaoee:pt-ciafiy Broadway and the Bowery pre sented a lively scene. u All creation " seemed to have turned out in holiday' attire, en masse some to gain the. most advantageous position to see the President and the procession, as they mnrched along the route, but the greater number en route for the World's Fair. In' the interior of the Palace, the spectacle, at about twelve o'clock, was most animated. People came crowding in, through the several entrances, in hun dreds, ali eager to get possession of the seats nearest the platform, in the centre, the place assigned to the " distinguished visitors." The special police, however, managed to maintain admirable order, and though the crowd grew densei and denser every minute, no conf i sion to speak of was visible. Workmen were busy in different departments of, the edifice, unpacking and arranging goods. Boxes containing m..ny of the foreign : contributions were piled up in some of the wings mountain high, afid it is not expected that they will be arranged for a week or a fortnight yet to come. . The colossal statue of Daniel Webster, and the equestrian statue of Washington, which are placed immediately under the dome, attracted much atten tion. The crow d seemed, indeed, to gather the thick est at this particular The general feeling in regard to the Palace itself, among the people, so far as we could ;ascertain, w-as one of pride and satisfaction. The edifice itself seem ed to have' surpassed, in grandeur, beauty and extent, the anticipations of everybody. .Thus much for the interior of the palace. ! The " scenes" outside were neither so pleasing, nor iso ea sily described. The sidewalks of ihe Sixth Avenue looked like one solid mass of human beings, men, w;o men. and children ; some standing and some sitting some in horizontal attitudes, on stoops and piazzas, and many ensconsed upon awning posts and the eaves of the houses above. These were the " masses" who had no tickets Of admission, and couldn't get in, but they seemed to enjoy, even under a broiling sun an outside look at the palace, quite as much as the more fortunate few, inside. The hundred and one rare shows In the vicinity were driving a profitable business. Bands of music were stationed in front of almost every door, to at tract the stranger. Nearly all the Wonders of the w orld were advertised, within the circuit of a Quarter of a mile, and to see what was to be seen, kept the crowd in continual commotion. But everything, ne vertheless, seemed to go on orderly enough. Rais! R ! If other parts of the country have been as much favored asew Orleans has been for the last frrty-eight hours, the general complaint of droueht will soon cease On Tuesday we had one of the most copious outpourings that has deluged our streetsfor many a day. The clouds turned over, and emp tied then- contents on the earth to the very last drop. We have an infallible guage to the quantity of wa ter which falls in any shower. It is the state of lakes Povdras and Julia. When thev are lin in crnnt Kr.n able condition, and remain so -as they did on Tues day for three or four hours there is no doubt in our mind tnai an immense quantity of water has fal len. . ; ' ' On the occasion referred to, it was laughable in some cases, pitiable to see respectable citizens in fine patent-leather shoes, or cloth gaiters and white pants, quietly wading the streets, knee-deep? to get to their dinners. But when it comes to endanger the lives of juveniles as was the case on Julia street on Tuesday oy me ucywi oi water in me gutters presenting numerous instances of little girls wading home from school with the water overtopping their stockings we think that it is about time to cry out ag iinst the miserable grading of our streets, blocking up com munication, and subjecting our citizens to numerous annoyances and discomforts Enough money has been spent on our streets to pave them with Carrara marble, and yet,; after all, every severe rain leaves them in such condition that we need boats to get from our offices to ourresidences.

You have nobly alluded to ift Your exhibition has brought here men eminent in almost every walk of life, from every civilized country on the face of the globe. And thus you have done more, perhips, than any of us in promot ing that great object dear to you, dear to me, dear to my venerable friend near me, (alluding to Bishop Wainrigbt,) to. promote peace among men. (Great applause.) Sir, I have not the voice to address you, and return you my thanks again for the honor you have done me. I must conclude. The President's Address was in very good taste, and was well received. Three hearty cheers were given him when he closed his remarks. He was. dress ed in -black, ' with' a black neckerchief, and spoke in black kid gloves. His mod of delivery was effective and he was quite well heard all over the assembly. . A dole-worthy incident of the day was the appear ance of Archbishop Hughes and Bishop VVainright on the platform. They shook hands with each other with a seeming cordiality that challenged many re marks on the part of the lookers-on. They were also in troduced to President Pierce, as were likewise Lord El lesmere and a number of other distinguished strangers. The President immediately after the ceremonies re turned to his quarters at the Astor House. INCIDENTS OF THE. DAY. President Pierce, soon after leaving the building, was overtaken by Gen. Scott, and the two had an in teresting interview, the crowd, in the meantime, cheer ing them alternately. The building, although not over 10,000 persons were present at the inauguration, is capable of holding nearly 30,000. During the day, .$60 84 were contnb uted for the Washington National Monument. Thirteen nations are represented in the exhibition, besides British Guiana and the British North American colonies, The.Gavazzi Riots in Montreal. The coroner's jury at Montreal, on the 12th inst, rendered their ver dict on the victims of the late Gavazzi riot. Nine Protestants found,-subsequently, that Jas. Walsh was shot by some persons unknown, who were endeavor ing to disperle-a, mob assembled -in the vicinity of of Zion church, (including, among others, the said deceased, which mob had previously overpowered the police, with the object of attacking said Gavazzi or the audience within Zion Church. That the other deceased came toj their deaths by gun-shot wounds inflicted by the troops, at the Order of the Mayor, and that both the said order delivered to the soldiers, and the firing of the soldiers without orders, were unne cessary and unjustifiable. Further, the jury condemn the practice of individuals carrying hre-arms, even in circumstances of assumed emergency recommend a better police force, and regret the want of discipline of the troops who fired without the orders of the officers. Ten Cathdiics find substantially the same thing as to Walsh, except that they say nothing about the ri ot in which he was engaged ; and, instead of finding that the Mayor gave the order to hre, which caused the death of the others, declared that it was -done by some person unknown.

The coup d'asil. the spectacle was ouurnificent, in side the palace, beyond anything ever before seen in this country., Ihe vast multitude present behaved with the greatest propriety and. decorum. It was half-past 2 o'clock when Gen. Pierce, at the head of the procession, reached the palace. His en trance was greeted by a perfect outburst of applause -from the ten thousand spectators men rose to their leet nno raised their hats, and thousands of fair hands waved their handkerchiefs. The President, during the cheering, was conducted to the seat intended for him, on the platform. On the platform of the invited guests were a larger number of men, distinguished and well known in all professions and occupations of life, than we have ever before seen in New York. The Governor of Georgia, Hon, Howell Cobb, was present ; U. S. Senators Brodhead, of Pennsylvania, Chase, of Ohio, and Ex Senator Miller, of .New Jersey, and Ex-Senator Pres ton, of -S. C, were seen. Chief and prominent among all was Major General Winfield Scott, with his arm in a sling, and apparent ly yet suffering from his unludky fall. The army and navy were largely represented, and among the officers were Major General Wool arp staff, Major General Henderson, and Commodore Sloat. Lord Ellesmere and suite, the Representative of British Industry, was present. Major General Quitman, of Mississippi, was also present. Bishop Wainright was dressed in his Canonicals, and made a very venerable appearance. The Clergy of this city and surrounding country, of all denomi nations, were present in large numbers. After the opening prayej; by the Rev. Bishop Wain right, the following anthem (composed for the occa sion) was sung by the New York Sacred Harmonic Society, accompanied by the National Guard Band, and members of other societies : Here, where all climes their offerings send Here, where all arts their tribute lay, ' Before Thy presence, Lord, we bend, And fcr thy smile and blessing pray. CniNESE Coolies. The New York Svm is not over sanguine that Chinese labor is going to be successful in the West lnoia Islands, as some seem to think. The editor has information regarding the habits and temper of these singular people, which, if true, goes tar to raixe the doubts of the value of Chinese labor. They are represented as indisposed to bear severe or long continued ton, iona of repose, gossiping. html m their temper, requiring patient and iu dicious management, and dangerous in the extreme. when roused to resistance, knowing no restraint, and placing no value on human life. The Sun continues: 4 The Chinese repugnance to a negro is described as something unconquerable, 4 Hik Queitsz a 4black devil ' is the worst form of opprobious abuse in a Lhinaman s mouth, and there would be strong pre- udite to overcome in reconciling , them to live and work with the blacks in Jamaica and Cuba. The great difficult' to successful Chinese emigration or Colonization would therefore seem to beHhe getting ot wives lor them. v hat chance the revolution now in progress in China may work on the public senti ment on the subject ol lemale emigration we tannot anticipate, but it is easy to comprehend that until the minds and the leet ot the Chinese women are eman cipated from their hereditary bondage, the prospect of improving any country by an importation of un married and strange-notioned Chinamen cannot be very encouraging. Laborers are in active demand at Stockton, Cali fornia, particularly harvest hands. Mowers . are : ad vertised for at $100 per month. ' The police of the New York Crystal Palace are to be dressed in uniform. The corps is composed ofa- bout one hundred men. A South Carolina Gold Mine. The editor of the Greenville Mountaineer, who recently visited the gold mine of Mr. Horn, m csouth Carolina, says : 44 Mr. Dorn informed us that he had, within the last eigh teen months, with a small force, taken from his mine some three hundred thousand dollar?; that he had traced the vein a mile and a quarter on his land; that it was fifteen feet wide, and we forget how many feet deep ; that there was gold most frequently discover able from the surface to the rich vein below. Mr. Dorn has got as much as $1,000 from one bushel of dirt, and has been, if we recollect aright, offered a million or two of dollars for one-half of his mine, which he very wisely declined taking. His mine is manifestly worth an indefinite number of millions, and the proprietor is unquestionably one of the richest men in America. John B.

We regret to state that William the son of Dr. Walter Duffy, aged about eight years, was drowned on last Saturday afternoon about 7 o'clock. In company with a small boy, be longing to Dr. Duffy, he had gone upon the wharf ot Lli fcunallwood. Esq, for the purpose of crabbing. Whilst standing upon the edge of the wharf, his foot slipped, and he was precipitated into the water, and immediately drowned. His body was found shortly afterwards, and lrs. chapman and Smallwood employ ed every means which skill or attention could devise to restore him to lite. Their efforts, however, were al together fruitless, as it is supposed he must have been under the water at least 30 minutes, before the dis covery of his body. iv ewbein Atlantic.

Let ters received from bmgapore to the 15th May afford shocking details of another of those terrible murders on board ship, arising out of the odious coolie trade In the present instance the vessel cut off was a for eign vessel, sailing under the Peruvian fias. but offi cored by Englishmen, who have fallen victims to the foul trade in human flesh which has for some few years past been carried on from -China to South A menca and the Havnnas. It appears there were 200 coolies on board, the major part of whom allege they were kidnapped ana iorcioly carried on board, or en ticed by the t hinese coolie brokers, on various pre texts, to see the vessel, from which again they were not sutlered to depart. Many ot the parties thu shamefully decoyed, consisted of boys under twelve years of age, the Rosa Elias having forty-five of this latter class on board, it is also alleged the-stunners ..... .. w. made the coolies believe they were going to a coun try abounding in gold, while in fact they intended employing them as guano diggers. After being at sea for a month, packed in a small space on deck they were put on a short allowance of water, which finally led to an outbreak. The coolies possessed themselves of all the hre-arms on board, defied all re sistance, drove the captain and mate into the cabin, into which they poured boiling water, and finally compelled them to jump overboard into the sea, whence they followed, and there butchered them. Most of the crew also jumped overboard. Ihe car penter, it appears, succeeded in swimming on shore, distant between three and five miles, and reached Ba-taYia.- The coolies having possessed themselves of the ship, forcibly compelled one of the crew to navi gate the vessel to China, but this man steered for Singapore. Individuals ukder Sentence of Death. William Kating, for the murder of two children named O'Brien, who was sentenced to be executed on the 28lh of June last, stands respited at Hackensack, N. J., until the 21st instant, when he will probably be hung. Capie and Emmons, convicted in Philadelphia for the murder of Christoper Loohan, will pay the penalty of their crime on the 5th of August. Lewis Montague, who murdered a man named Thompson, in Petersburg, Va., is also to be hung on the 5 th of August. Margaret Butler, who was found guilty at Culpeper, Va., of assisting Jim Phillips to murder Mr. Gaines, will be executed on the 12th of August. - James M'Guire, who murdered Mr. J. W. Holland, was sentenced at Syracuse, to be hung oh the 17th of August. John Hendrickson has been sentenced at Albany, to be executed on the 26th of August for the murder of his wife. . Robertson will be hung at Alexandria, Ky., on the 3d of September next, for the murder of Moses Guard. iiiis execution, we almost blush to record in this ngmenea age, will be done in public. . Beside these, 'there are a number of criminals in some of the eastern States who have been convicted of capital offences, but the laws require that they shall remain iu prison ie year before fixing the day lor their execution. A Singular Mode of betting is restored to on Sun days, on the western waters, on which d.iys there is no card-playing allowed. The gamblers sit around a table, eac h having before him a lump of loaf-sugar ; a stake is put up by the players, and he upon whose lump the fly lights first, wins the 4 pile.' They also make side-bets among themselves upon this import ant event. Tho excitement often waxes high, as the fly hovers over and around the sweet morsels, un decided upon which to feast.

King's Ex press, throughout Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, against " Hano Bills" and Advertisements, issued by a cer- ' tain' Express Company, long known to the Merchants oi the South, especially of Virginia and North ' Carolina J as tha "tardy and exorbitant monopoly." This fast Express wishes to impress upon the mind of the public, that they have effected arrangements for EXCLU SIVE EXPRESS PRIVILEGES on the steamships Roanoke and Jamestow.n, and thus lead the public to, suppose that no other Express can run on the ships. To settle this matter definitely, and to place it in its " true light" before the puhlie at large, we will only say, that we have been running our Ex press on the steamship Roanoke since she made her second trip, and will continue to run until she makes, her last trip ; and, on the 16th inst., will make our first express shipment on board the new and magnificent steamship Jamestown, and 1 which expresses w II h nnrUr tUa cUtgaf OUR OWN f SPECIAL MESSENGERS. Freight and Packages will be taken and delivered with our usual promptness, and at tho same low rates as heretofore, which will be almost 40 per cent, below the charges of the Self-Styled Exclusive Ex press Company, as. we are aware they must d a large busi ness, and thoir patrons pay big prices. for the privilege of hav ing a small room on board the ships, for whioh PARISEN & KING offered the sum cf .$47,000 Forty Seven Thousand Dollars for a five years contract. We will again and lastly state to the public and our patrons, that as OUR interests are largely identified with the increas ing enterprise of the South, and the general direction of the business under the personal superintendence of one of the firm, who permanently resides in Petersburg, Va., we call for a continuation of that liberal patronage as heretofore conferred upon us, and a general support of that principle and system of ECONOMY, PUNCTUALITY and EXPEDITION, as first introduced in the Express business by us, .and up" which all may depend on its being carried out to the let- tef' PARISEN & KING.
