ING STAR. Local Intelligence. Taz Finewen’s Parang Yesterpay — Washington may well be prond of her firemen as they displayed themselves yesterday. A finer body of young men never turned out on a similar occasion. This is saying much for them, as all the papers of the Northern cities portray the capabilities of their respective fire departments in glowing colors The oc- casion was an honorable one: that of formally welcoming into the department the new ‘estern Company, We are an old reman, and cannot hear a maphine’s bell — beara tego, as it were. We ave seen the fire Seeman of every con- siderable city in the Union on parade, from —— to Galveston. Yet we have never 2 & more promising company than this Western Hose, of —— City, on their first parade. They are, for the most part, quite young men, healthy, manly. active, intel- gent, and emphatically American in their ap- Pearance. Their uniform is neat and appro- Priate; and they seem to enter upon their new duties with a desire to be of service to their feliow-citizens in time of danger and need, such as we h: rarely seen displayed by men in their position. In the parade, the veteran Franklin seemed to be father of the flock ; that company being, for the most part, composed of men of maturer years than their compeers Among the incidents yesterday, was the —- to the Western Hose, by the ranklin Fire Company, of a superb wreath of flowers, ged on a silk and; Mr. Robert E. Doyle, the President of the Frank- lin, accompanying the gift with a brief but appropziate speech, which was replied to, in felicitous terms, on behalf of the Western Hose, by Mr. Riggles. The procession, after leaving the Northern Liberties engine house, where we left them in giving our account yesterday, proceeded, ac cording to the programme, to the railroad depot, where the Western Hose Company re- Ocvived their hose carriage, » beautiful article, as well as of substantial construction, judging by its appearance. Thence they marched to the Columbia engine house, where Professor Dimitry, in the absence of the president of the company, Capt. J. A. Tait, (who was cut soldiering) welcomed the firemen in an elo- quent address. They then partook of a aump- tuous collation. Resuming the line of march, the procession passed up Pennsylvania Avenue and visited Georgetown. In addition to the collation by the Colum- bia Fire Company, the firemen were similarly entertained by the Northern Liberties, the Union, the Western Hcoze Company, and the Vigilant. Mr. Philip Mackey received the Northern Liberties, at the St. Charles, on hia own account. We were pleased with the fraternal feeling manifested by the different companies, ong toward another. Cheers were given when passing the respective engine houses, and the bells were rung in token of good fellowship, which, we fervently trust, may ever character- ize the noble firemen. We must not forget to mention that Miss Rosina Wheeler, on the night preceding the firemen’s grand display, presented the Perse- verance Engine Company with an elegant! wreath of Sowers to adorn their apparatus ‘Tbe firemen werein motion until nearly sun- down. Gratifying as were their proceedings, | they were doubtless fatigued by the day’s pei- formances Tue May Festivat, last night, given by Professor Cocheu, at Carusi’s Saloon, was, in-| deed, of an interesting and gratifying char- scter. The room was handsomeiy adorned with flowers and evergreens, and the seats were so arranged that every one present had as fine an opportunity as could have been de- sired for witnessing the performances, as laid ; down in the programme The young ladyj who had been selected for the “Queen of} May” was prevented from appearing and « suming the regal honor, owing te a ay sfiliction; but a substitute was procured | within a short notice, in the person of a lady j from the country. ihe ceremonies were of i the usual deecription on such occasions, and afforded much delight, especially to the juve niles, who were there in large numbers, ac- companied by their adult relatives and friends. A more cheerful, beautiful epectacle has sel-| dom been witnessed within those time-hon- ored walls The coronation being concluded, various fan. cy dances were performed by Mons. Cocheu’s pupils, including the Nymph s Garland Dance, by six Misses, and a Grand Fancy Maszourka, by sixteen Mieses; a regular set of cotillons were danced by the scholars, when the entire floor was thrown open to the eompany present. It is almost needless to say that many ladies and gentlemen participated in the innocent and healthful amusement, to the fine music of the band in attendance. Our limits, to-day, will not permit uz to ex- tend the account of this peek ope festival ; but. in brief, it was a general remark that the dancing of Mons Cockeu’s pupils was not only creditable to them, but to their teacher, and speaks well for his capacity to instruct ia that | Popular art. Everybody seomed to be satis- fied, delighted with the festival—iookere on as well as partisipants in the dance. Nothing whatever occurred to mar the festivities Tes Licet Israxrry Excampuent —We mentioned, yesterday, that this old and popu- lar corps had encamped on the Washington Monument grounds. Yesterday afternoon. at four o'clock, the National Guard marched to the tented scet and were received in the regular military style by the infantry; Capt. James Y. Davis directing the conferring of the honors. Thetwo corps were then dismizsed, when the guests were handsomely en‘ertained by the Infantry. The festivities were inter- rupted by the sounding of the bugle of the President’s Mounted Guards, Capt. Peck; when the other two companies formed in a line and received the Mounted Guard; and the usual courtesies were interchanged The National Guard then filed off and marched into the city, acd the Mounted Guard remained. The latter and the Infantry, among other amuse- ments, indulged in dancing on the green, to the music of the drum and fife A large number of persons were present to witness the proceedings. The President’s Mounted Guard escorted the Warhington Light Infantry to their armo ty, when the two companies were severally dismissed, much gratified with the May day Proceedings. oe Mr. Exsen’s Organs —The chapel organ, which was exhibited at the last fair of ¢ Metropolitan Mechanics’ Institute, in thisc bas been sold to the convent of Mount de Sal > Bear Catonsville, Maryland; the price $300. It will be recollected that Mr Erben, the man- Ulacturer, received at that fair a silver medal, & digh compliment jastly deserved by him; for hisinstramen's have a wide reputation for their unrivalled exzellence The organ made use of in the Trinit church, of thiscity. is from bis exteasive establishment It was purchased in 1533, and played upon in Wastin, ton for the first time at a sacred con cert. Theinstrument has just been overhauled and repaired by a gentleman connected with Mr Erben’s establishment, and is now in frst Fate order, and ag good as new. One of Erben’s organs is now temporarily at the Smithsonian Institution.

He has employed wo! too, inferior to none in the District of Columbia. We advise all whose walls want renovating to give him a call. Anti-Kxow Notaines —A meeting of the Union Association, composed of Whigs and Democrats opposed to the Know Nothings, held a meeting last night, at Harmony Hall. Addresses were delivered by Dr. Magruder, and Messrs. Devlin, Cammack, and MeNeir. The meeting, we learn, was large and enthu- siastio There isto be a convocation of delo- gates next Tuesday night, to nominate a gen- eral ticket for the ensuing June elestion. Diorama or Bunker Hiwy.—Odd Fellow’s Hall was crowded last night with both adults and children, to witness this beautiful and patriotic exhibition. It is truly entitled to the patronage of the public. Tue Marine Banp will play at the Capitol ground this afternoon, commencing an hour before sun-set. GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Gxoresrown, May 2, 1855. Many of our people especially the juveniles seemed disposed yesterday to enter heartily into the celebration of the advent of mother of roses, May. At the Ladies Academy, at the Convent of the Visita‘ion, the festivities throughout the day were of the most pleasing character. The firemen’s procession was quite large, and all the external paraphernalia, ap- paratus, uniform, musie, &c,, was really beau tiful. We are pleased to learn that the canal packet, Congress, is being liberally patronized. On the 7th inst , she will be drawn off tbe route for a few days, to convey to Cumberland the cfficers and directors of the Canal Com pany, and e's agents (of Maryland) on their tour of inspeetion. We learn from ene of the directors ct the company, that an invi- tation was extended to the Governor and Comptroller of Maryland to accompany them, but declined in consequence of a press of State business. Forrest Hall was weli filled last evening to hear the lecture of the Indian chief, Maung- wu-daus. and see the exhibition by him and his company. Business upon our canal looks rather dull this morning. This is owing to the fact that most persons residing along the line, and many engeged upon it, are engaged in their farming operations We haye been requested to say that the Rev. Mr Cummings, cf your city, will preach a sermon to the young men, of our city, in St John’s Church, on Thursday evening next, at 8 o'clock. From every direction we continue to receive the most cheering accounts of the growin wheat crops. If nothing unforeseen shoul befall it, the yield, from all we can gather, promises to be one of the largest ever known in this section of country. We also learn that the young fruit never loeked more healthy or promised a more abundant yield No change in flour or grain market. are quite plon'y at our wharves this morning Shad are seliing at $3 per hundred, and her- Tings at $6 per thousand. ALEX Fish SPECTATOR NDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. ALEXANDRIA, May 2, 1855. Last night the Democracy assembled ex masse at the Lyceum Ilall,S Buckinghan, President of the association, presiding. Mr Skioner, of Augusta, entertained the large auditory for one hour and a half with a bril- liant and effective address, citing Clay against Flournoy, and demanding of the Whigs which was the best authority. Col. Hunton, of Prince William, next spoke most eloquently, and after some remarks from a gentleman of the valley, @. W. Brent, eq , of Alexandria, made a brilliant appeal to the Democratic party. The meeting closed with three cheers for the Democratic standard bearers. The American party also held a public meeting, which was attended by large num- bers. Mr. Mitchell and F. 8. Evans spoke at length and with ability in bebalt of the prin- ciples of the Know-Nothing organization. Messrs Smith & Perkins, who commenced work only last Saturday, turned out yester- day another magnificent locomotive, the Fuir- view, for the Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad Counterfeit 5’s on the Merchants’ and Me. chanics’ Bank of Wheeling are in circulation here.
