Ex. President Tyler left this city Tor Old Virgin
ny this morning, in a two horse hack-no process
sion or parade, soldiers or music, or drums, but
all alone in his glory, uncared for, unsought, un
waited upon by any OF his late toadies he mas
gone into retirement while after ages will do


justice to the Importance OF The political achleve-
ments of his despised administration-he will be
almost forgotten, and most certainly entirely neg
lected by these who so lately fawned upon him so
obsequi0usly for the purpose of obtaining office.
The day has been most beautiful-a contrast
more complete to that of yesterdy, must be ina
gned; and the throngs of strangers who are still re-.
naming in the city, are taking the opportunity Of
walking about and visiting the Capitol and other
public buildings.


Since writing the above, have learned that Mr..
Tyler was too late for the boat this morning; the
first time he has ever been too late to get into any,
thing in his life before. He, consequently, had to
| return to his hotel, and will depart Tomorrow
morning, when, it is said, arrangements have been
made to turbish up Corporal's guard, and to at
tend him out Of town with neat funeral process

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, March 5, ls45.
EDITOR NEW York HERALD


We are instructed to write truthful report of
those balls last nght-the two Inauguration balls
the fivee, or the unmitigated orthodox democracy,
and the tens, or the pseudo quasi aristocracy Of
Washington of both parties. Both balls given in
honor Of Polk and Dalas-the tens, ostensibly in
honor OF the day; the ives, with q strong bias to


he droppipgs Of the Administration. The "tens''
neld their ball at Carusi's Saloon, and were com
fortably fxed-the ives'' gave theirs at the Ma
ventilated esablishmeni in fact, little too porous

as last night was.


The sstens" were, unquestionably, the aristo
cratic party, and in this land Of democracy, we
are all arisocrats, their saloon was almost

toast; but, like toast, 1t was done brown The
frlgidity OF the social atmosphere among the stems

of almost every body. There seemed to be sym.

quence was, that, notwithstanding the President
and Vice President visited the "tens," and partook
OF their excellent supper, the delegation of foreign
ambassadors, and their attaches were not forhcom-

"tens," were the two Misses R-ch-e, of Rich

The "fves'' on the other hand, were all in the
highest, freest and most unrestrained understand


ing with each other. Their ball was the visible il


lustration of equal rights. Every body there was
at home, or at much better place. Captain Ryn-
ders was in the seventh heaven as he figured away,

K-d-ll, the old gentleman looking on, and
looking away politically far into the future. Blair
and Rives were in their glory. Stalngs exhibited

boasted of the grandeur of the supper. The ball
