The Presidents House was open on Thurs day at noon for the reception of cor pany ;- and according to custom, the citizens called on their Chief Magistrate 10 tender hIm the compliments Ofthe season. On no former occasion have we witnessed greater crowd, nor have we ever seen the annual tributes of good feelings offered with more apparent sin cerity on one hand,Or received with more sat isfaction and Cheerfuness on the other. MT. Adams seemed to be in excellent health, and excellent spirits, and the slight shade of pen siveness on the countenance Of Mrs. Adams, was the necessary, although to be regretted consequence, as well as proof, of the almost incessant indspositon, by which she has for some time, been afflicted. MT. Calhoun Oc- cuped 9 prominent situation in the principal room; while MT. Clay stood in the centre of the East room, and Mir. Southard in the in termediate apartment,tO to receive the greetings Postmaster General, the Commanding Gen. era the Clergy ofthe Distrct,and the mem bcrs of both Houses, with only few excep- tions, were present; and it was near three o. clock before the last of the visitors had retir- ed. The Marine band, played frequent airs and refreshment consisting of wines, punch, lemonade, cakes, jeles, ice creams, &c.were Landed round in profusiOn.

 The display of ladies was also greater than usual, and it would be unjust to them to ad init that we have ever seen it surpassed, he- ther in reference to personal beauty or ele- gance of costume.
