When 1t was announced that the Presi- dent had landed, some of the military on the Battery made q movement, by which the citizens, who were assembled to witness his arrival, became completely wedged up

 -their escape was impossible, and for them to remain, intolerablc. A large num- ber, therefore, for relief, took shelter in front of the entrance of Castle Garden Bridge, which had previously been kept comparatively free, and there they remain- ed until orders were given to clear the en- trance by opening to the right and left, for the purpose of aflording an egress to the President and his suite. This was done in such q manner, that q number of persons, who had no other means of avoiding the cavalry to whom the duty was assigned, clambered up on top of the ticket office, which were slight erections covering the end of the Castle Garden Bridge contigu- ous to the Battery Upon the appearances of the President on inc Bridge leading from the Castle. attended by his suite and con- siderable number of citizens, the rush from without was such that with the accumulate ed weight of the whole, the string pieces extending ees from tic 5tii abntmcnt Of tho Bridge to the Battery wall gave way, pre-. cipitating those on the tops of these slight ly framed offices, upon the persons collect ed below. At this time the President had passed safe, though not more than his bor- se's length. Those in the rear were not so fortunate; the end of the string pieces of the Bridge slipping from the Battery wall, this entire part fell into the river, and with it number of individuals. The water not being deep in consequence of the filling up with stone to protect the wall from the eff fects of the current, none were in danger of being drowned, yet many were thrown into the water; and several, though not se- verely, were materially injured. Among them, we are sorry to say, were Gov. Cass, and MT. Donelson, the Presidents Secre- tary. On being extricated, they were ta- ken into the apartments of the proprietor of the Garden, where every attention was giyoIi ti that iiiIe occasion called for-and af- ter a temporary detention they were enabled to join the President before he arrived at the American Hotel.
