He came her with all th southern prejudice against the occupant of th chair. II had witnessed his conduct rloely, and scrutinized it at every step; and must say he had seen as much flrmnes In Mr. Banks, as In th occupant of th chair of any legislative body iscw her.

SKCONI I'lSPATCII. Tin: I.V.ITUlllAL ADIHIUSS, Wahiiimitos, March 4. Mr. Buchanan In delivering Ida Inaugural address, was remarkably Impressive and determined. He began by apallng to the Almighty for strength and wDdom to enable him to carry out the administration of the affairs of the oountry to the advantage of the people.

A he had determined not to try to ha elected to a second presidential term, his ndmluletratlun should bo conducted mrely and for the beet Interests of the whole country. He spoke of his election a having been aceom-lidied by those anxiously desirous for the preserve-tlon of the Union, congratulated tho country ou the fact that agitation on tho subject of slavery had almost entirely ceased, and he declared that forthe first time In twenty years our country had arrived at uce on that subject. In reference to Kansas, he declared that it should be admitted with either freedom or slavery, accord-ng a the constitution adopted by tho jieoplo directs. He went Into a long argument to show that the Nebraska and Kansas bill waa right in principle the equality of the Ftates, said he, must be preserved he added, however, that slavery waa les Important, than sotuo other subject before th American ieople. Th geogrsphlcaljpartlca to which th agitation of the slavery question baa given birth must die, for tbeir existence endanger tho live of citizens of slave Ftates.

Th spectacle which ws now presented of our whole people submitting quietly to th will of the tnnjority, a expressed at the poll at th last election, was characteristic of this and no other nation. Fo to thought these geographical partle must die out. le said that corruption in a republican government was fatal to its institutions. Although inn corrupt country, the form of free institutions might remain, the life was gone. Hi administration should aim at purity in all it department.

Extravagancy in the disposii! of tho public lands, he declared must be put a stop to, so that our children may receive home for themselve, and that a brood of simulators and job' er, who live upon them, may he crushed. The laws In regard to uaturalization be thought hould remain as they are at present putting the foreigner and nntire born citizen upon a fair democratic level. In regard to the Pacific Railroad project, ho fold such a road may be made by Congress, in tho chape of a military road, to enable tbe government to extend protection to our possession on the Pacific coast Congress has full jower to do this and he agreed that it must, and should, be done, in order that we might prepared on that coast for the emergency of war Our foreign policy must be also cultivated as to secure pence and good will with all nations but at the same time all entangling alliances must he avoided. This ha been an axiom of our government ever since the daye of Washington and none dare now dispute it propriety. It ha been the boast of the United Ftates that none of her territory ha been acquired by war, a has been the case with most other nations; and this must continue to be our policy, We must refuse to take any territory, whatever, unless it he acquired by honorable mean.

Our diplomatic policy must he frank and honorable and by persuing such a policy wo will continue to hold our position among the great and leading power of the world. Mr. Buchanan read hi address closely from the manuscript, which he held in hi hand. Hi voice was clear, but owing to the tremendous crowd, much of which could not see him, there was some interruption and all the address could not he distinctly heard. There was much applause at those portions which referred to the equality of the States, the evils of geographical parties, and the naturalization Beyond the fainting of a few ladies in tho crowd, no incidents of an unpleasant nature occurrod.

The procession was the finest ever seen in Washington, and the number of people present in the city exceeds anything ever known before. There were many banners hearing appropriate de vices, and several revolutionary flags from Virginia, which excited much attention. Chief Justice Taney administered the oath of office, and was tho first to congratulate the President, (Hat of tli Market to-day Philadelphia, March 4.

The day opened uuql-cloudy, the weather being luild and beautiful, and at an early hour the ear waa saluted with (he firing of cannon and th ringing of hells. There waa an itnmens turnout of people, mostly wending their way towarda the capllol. The side walks wer completely blocked up, every balcony full, and In every direction the cy rested oon an Immense mass of humanity.

Even every available window waa occupied long before the procession started. The doors of the Senate Chamber were oned soon after eleren o'clock for the admission of Senators and other member who, under the arrangement of the committee, were entitled to admission, In the following order Ex-I'resiilent Pierce and Vice President the Chief Justice and Judges of the Fupreme Court the Diplomatic corps, Heads of Department and ex-members of Congress and members elect officers of the army and navy who by name had received the thanks of Congress tbe Governors of States and Territories of the Union and ex-Governors of States the Controllers, Auditors, Registers and other chief officers of tbe Treasury, and the Mayors of Washington and Georgetown.

Deads of Department, members of Congress, and other gentlemen entitled to admission, occupied scats on the left and In the eastern lolby.

The eastern gallery was occupied by other citizens, who were only admitted by the outside north-eastern door, while the circular gallery waa reserved for ladies, nbo entered by the terrace and were conducted to the rotunda and gallery. AU the other entrances to the Capitol were closed. Tbe procession started for the Capitol about noon. It was very long and presented a beautiful appearance. The military of tbe District and the community at large, were fully represented.

The President elect rode in an open carriage, surrounded by the Keystone Club, preveded by the military, and a beautiful representation of the Goddess of Liberty npon a high platform drawn by six horses, and followed by a minature ship-of-war of considerable size, which was made by the mechanics of the Washington Navy Yard. Then followed various clubs and engine companies, the balance of the procession being mainly according to the programme as published. When Mr. Buchanan reached the Capitol be found a tremendous crowd waiting there to bear his inaugural. He was received most enthusiastically, the cheers of the assembled thousands being intermingled with the peals of artillery.

The Senate met at twelve oclock. Soon after one, the President and the President elect, accompanied by Messrs: Bigler and Foot, (committee) entered the Capitol by the north door, proceeding to the Vice Presidents room. The Vice President, accompanied by Senator Pearce, another member of the committee of arrangements, proceeded at once to the Senate Chamber. The Senate being ready to receive them, the President and President elect were introduced, and took the seats assigned them At half-past one o'clock the oath of office was administered to Mr. Buchanan, by Chief Justice Taney as follows You do solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of your ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

The presentation took place in the morning. President Pierce headed the subscription.

A costly and beautiful gold pencil was also pre sented to Mr. Gilmore, the leader of the Salem Band Major Ben Perley Poore, of wheel-barrow notoriety, made tbe presentation. President Buchanans Inaugural Address was not wholly completed until this morming and, as there was but a single copy, there has been necessarily con' siderable delay in preparing it for transmission by telegraph, which accounts for our not receiving it as we expected in time for this evenings paper. The military formed at an early hour on New York Avenue. There was a fine display.

The Lancaster Fencibles, the escort of the President elect from Wheatland to this city, received marked attention and Capt. Duchman has been something of a lion amongst the military.

Tito petition presented to tho court ycter day by Mr. Brown, nuking for rul on tho Director! of tho Lancaster Dank, to show cause why a Mandamus should not Jssuo to compel them to file In the fllco of tho Pro-thonotary the statement required by tho 25th section of their charter, is ono of tho most important movements that have yet been made, bearing upon tho winding up of tho adairs of that I nstitution. Should tho andamus issue, it will compel such an Investigation as wo have all along contended the Directors ought, in justice to themselves, as well os to tho creditors of the bank, to have iusisted upon. It will give them an opportunity to show, under oath, a particular account of tho fosse of the corporation, and the cause of itt insolccncy If, as tho majority of them allege, tho Directors arc not culpable, they will, of course, not resist this application, but willingly allow the Mandamus to issue, and tho statement to bo made, according to tho following provisions of the charter: 4 23. Tb term Insolvency used In this act.

shall be construed to apply to this bank when it Is compelled to make an assignment, and it shall be thereupon the duty of the directors of the said bank for tho tims being, within ten days after such an assignment, to file in the offlee of tho protbonotary of tbs Court of Common fleas of Lancaster county, verified by osth or affirmation, a full statement of its affairs, containing: I. Aa account of the capital stock of the bank, the amount paid in, and the amount thereof held by such corporation. II. The quantity, description and value of tbe real estate of tbe said bank. III.

Tbs shares by of the stock held the hank, wbetbsr absolutely or collateral security, with their number and value. IV. Tbe debts owing to said bank, and the amount of said debts that are collectable. V. The amount of debta owing by said bank, with the amount of notea or bills in circulation, amount of deposits, and all other liabilities, together with an account of its loans and discounts, and of specie on hand.

VI. A particular account of the losses of tbe corporation, and tha cause of its insolvency. VIL An accurate list of the names and residences, and the amount of stock held by each stockholder in said bank, at the time of tbe said assignment. Ia case tbe above statement is filed, it will be tbe duty of tbe court to appoint auditors, wbo shall be sworn to make a strict investigation of tbe affairs of tbe Bank, with power to compel tbe production of books and papers, and to subpoena and examine tbe Directors and officers of tbe Bank as the following sections specify: 4 28. If the court shall he In session when the statement is filed, the same shall be immediately presented to the court by the said directors for examination, and if tbe court shall not be in session at such time, then the said statement shall be presented, upon tbe first day of tbe session of the court thereafter and it shall thereupon be the duty of the court to appoint three competent auditors, who shall be sworn or affirmed, to make a strict investigation of the affairs of such bank, and of the accuracy and fairness of the statement thus presented to the court, and to perform tbeir duties with fidelity.

4 27. The auditors thus oppointed shall have power to compel the production of the books and i papers, and to subpoena and examine the directors and officers of said bank, and generally to have and exercise all the authority now conferred on auditors by existing laws and after having performed their duties, they shall report to the Court the result of their investigation and in ease they report that the insolvency was willfully fraudulent, it shall be tbeir duty also to ascertain and report the amount due from the several directors, according to the liabilities imposed by this act. 4 28. Tbe said court shall thereupon proceed to the investigation of the matters contained in said report, and shall determine whether the insolvency of said bank was wilfully fraudulent or otherwise, or if they deem it necessary for the purpose of justice, they may direct an issue, at the request of any person interested, to try the fact of wilful fraudulent insolvency and if the judgment of the court upon the re-' port of the auditors, or upon the verdict rendered upon such issue, shall be that the insolvency of such bank was fraudulent, then and in such case the said court shall proceed to decree against the directors the amount due from each, according to their several liabilities and the said court of common pleas, for the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of this act, shall have the same powers and authorities to obtain the appearance of persons then made amenable to their jurisdiction, and to compel obedience to their orders and decrees, and enforce execution thereof as are by law vested in the said courts In cases of trust. Tlie public will now look with more anxiety than ever to the course which the Directors may Bee proper to pursue when thi3 rule is returned for argument on the 16th inst.

Should the issuing of the Mandamus be re-, eisted on their part, the presumption will be naturally strong that the management by the Directors will not bear close investigation.

Speaker, and flourishing the particular bill or manuscripts they wished to have considered. Numerous motions were made to suspend the rules to consider specified bills, but few of which were successful. Many members were hoarse with bawling to attract the speakers attention.
