When be had finished, the final ceremonies of the dedteation of the Statue, felicitously per- ved by President Buchanan, and the unveil- ing was parformed in the presence of a dense crowd Facing the statue within the circle, was erected a stage, and in the rear of it seats were construct- ed for the public convenience. On the common just south of the statue some enterprising individ- s handsomely decorated, much to the credit of - Ridgeway, of the Navy Yard, who had the management of this particular work. Flags of sli nations were suspended around, while the sta.s and stripes were made conspicuous at the head The statue itself was enclosed by a fence, so that the Masons might be unobstructed in the performance of their duty. When the procession reached the rounds. th military filed to the north of the Circle, while the carriages in which were seated the President and vtber privileged persons halted at the ites. First upon the stage came the President, in company with Hon Mr. Bocock, the orator, Mr. Mills, the artist, and Rev. Dr. Nadal. invited to lead in aie who tock position at the front of the stage Phen followed Hon. Mr. Hammond asd Hon Mr. Keitt, Chairmen of the Committee of Arrange- mente of the two respective Houses. ‘The Cabinet, the Mayor, Army and Navy officers followed. As soon as those upon the stage were seated, and the Masons had their appropriate position around the Statue, the gates were thrown open to the vast concourse assembled. Quiet being restored, the Rev Dr. Nadal offered up a most fervent and elo- quent invocation to the Bivine Throne for a con- rinuance of His mercies; beseeching fim to for. wver protect the Union of these States. and to allay = spirit of discord that may arise “ Ir. Hammond then introduced the Hon Mr. Bocock, who delivered the oration, of which we bat the gratification of laying before our readers vesterday so full a synopsis. After the usual Masenie ceremonies attending the laying of the Corner-stone, the Right Grand. Master, George C. Whiting, turned to the Presi- deut of the United States, and resenting a large and handsome gavel, ‘addressed him as follows: Mr. President :—This gavel which I hold iam: hand was used by General Washington, the Presi- dentof the United States, and the Grand Master of Masons of Georgetown, in laying the corner. stone of the Capitol. the I8th day o! September, 1795. I now have the honor to present you with the sime, that you may dedicate the statue of the Father of his country. Mr. Buchanan then approached to the front of the stage. and taking the vavel in his hands, spoke 2s follows Peliow-citizens:—I accept the glorious omen v b the heavens at this moment present to us— 2 calm sunset almost without cloud. [Cheers ] The entire day has been boisterous; man ci- dents have occurred to delay the completion of *bese ceremonies, but this is aothiug more, thank God for it, than bas always occurred in the histor ef our country, that, if storms and tem pests as dangers beset us in the morning, the end has al- ‘ways been clear and unclouded. [Cheers] Such it has been to day, and such I trust it may ever be.

The tables were not fully occupied, as the Sev- enth Regiment was but Sparsely represented, most of its members apparently preferring to re- main quietly at their ae after their fatignes. There was no regular speech-making on the occasion, but almost every person of prominence present wes called upon to contribute something to the enjoyment of the evening. In this way some Ge ee remarks were elicited from Ron. Mr. Keitt, of 8. C., who by some Stirring allusions to the battle of Cowpens and the valiant Maryland line, brought down the “‘soger boys;!" and aleo frou Hon Mr. Bocock, of Va., the orator of the day. Mr. B. said that, in calling to mind the fact that Washington achieved our Independence, fighting with half-starved, half-equipped men, feeble in numbers, he could not but think what a Washington might do with such soldiers as those he saw before him. In view of the threatening aspect of the politics! horizon, he was sometimes ined to oeepals of the Republic; but when he saw thus the soldiers of New York and Maryland and Virginia standing side by side in cordial union, he took hope for the future. In conclasion, he warned them to beware of any set of men who would strike one single star from the glorious 32 composing our Union. THE SPECIAL POLICE, With few exceptions, did good service yesterday. ‘The exceptions were some who we hear got pret- ty spy during the day, and were under the or- ders of the Chief of Police, deprived of their badges while in this condition The presenta- tien of their badzes will draw the compensation for the day; and without these the specials will find {it ditticult to obtain their ‘vy from a pay- master as strict as the present Chie of Police. PRESIDENT BUCHANAN REVIEWS TRE SEVENTH At ten o'clock this mornin; 4 n o'clock this morning the companies of the New York Seventh Rega Saembled in front of the National Hotel, and marched to the White House for the purpose of passing in revi. before the President ¥ eS 3 i The otlicers of the Regiment waited upon the President in the East Room, and were individu- allv introduced to him by Co!. Lefferts. Mr. Bucbanan remarked, playfully, that he had at one time risen to the rank of sergeant himself in military ranks. Col. Lefferts answered in the same vein, that the rank of sergeant was an honorable one The President, accompanied by Secretaries Toucey and Floyd and other gentlem-n then pro- ceeded to where the Regiment was drawn up on the side-walk in front of Lafayette Sqnare; ard when he appeared on the opposite pavement the Regiment marclied six paces to the front and pre- sented arms. They then formed in open erder, and the President and his suite proceeded to the head of the line and uncovered, and thence in frout to the left and then te the rear. and thence back to the head of the column. Then Passing over to hag icbh ah Opposite, he stood uncovered while the Regiment passed in marching salute They then proceeded by companies in review, and, forming a line, came toa front face, and were exercised in the manuel of arms by Col. Letferts. President Buchanan then proceeded to the centre of the street _near the centre of the line, and ad- dressed the Regiment as follows: Col. Leifer's, efticers and soldiers of the Seventh Reyiment—I cannot permit you to part from me without expressing, in a few words, my cordial thanks for your having graced the great occasion of yesterday. The military precision of your march, the admirable manner in which you go through your exercise, and the stout, hardy, novle and defiant look which yon exhibit, shows that in the day and hour of battle you would not be mere parade officers, but you would be in its very front. : The oceasion on which yon came wasa great oceasion. The alacrity with which you obeyed the request of the authorities here ought ever to be highly commended. The Congress of the United States made provision for the erection of an equestrian statue of the father of his country. It was yesterday inaugurated; and, through the rain the mud, the inclement weather, you ap- peared as if you had been on holiday parade; and we all thank you for the sacrifices which you bave made in doing us this honer. The statue was inangurated. It was a national, nota mu- nicipal oceasion The statue was executed by the authority of Congress; it was inaugurated by Congress; and we thank you for your great and important ser- vices during the ceremonial. Who would not do honor to the memory and the name of Washing- ton? He is endeared to the heart of ev Alner- ican. And as long as the 22d of February shall come in each successive year. so long let it bea day of cherished pat-iotism in the hearts of all our countrymen. It isa day that ought ever to be remembered in our annals; and when the birtb- day of Washington shall be forgotten, liberty will have perished from the earth. Everthing passed off admirably yesterday. The crowd was immense; the plaudiis bestowed on the Seventh Regiment were enthu tie. If there was anything to regret it was this:—that none of the representatives of foreign Governments graced this commemoration When you were here last. yon bad been a guard of honor for the remains of Jaines Monroe. He was a soldier; he was a patriot; he was a states- man; he was an excellent President. There was re in his day; I trust there will be peace in the days of my successors Storms have prevailed during my period; but I see the clouds breaking away, and [ trust and believe that a new ‘Era of good feeling”? will ere long return! 1 will not detain you longer than toreiteratemy tnanks for the honor you have done us, and | am sure that it will be a day recorded and impressed upon your memory as one on which you have rendered good service to your country; a day on which you have stirred up the fires of patriotism inevery breast. | thank you, gentlemen—thank you with all my heart, for this visit. . Upon the conclusion of his remarks, the Regi- ment gave nine hearty cheers for the President of the United States, which were heartily partici- pated in by the immense throng of spectators on all hands. The Hon. John Cochrane, of New York, was then londly called for, and stepped forward amid the cheers of the spectators and delivered a com- limentary speech to his “ fellow-soldiers of the venth.”? During his remarks Le was fr. ed by the soldiers with him and the crowd out side. When he had concluded, he received three tremendous cheers. Ata signal from the commanding officer, the Regiment and the audi- tory on all hands gave nine splitting cheers for the Union. The Regiment then broke into column and again marched in review. with the band playing quick music, and strikirg the pavem+nt marched back to their several quarcers. They leave this afternoon by the 3 20 train for their homes, conveying with them the entire ‘ood will and esteem of all with whom they ve come in contact since their arrival. uently appland- “REPORTED FoR THE BaLTIMoRE SuN."’—That thieving scamp, “Mercury,” of the Baltimore Sup, alias James Lawrenson, coolly steals the very full report of the Inauguration ceremonies we Shs pies with so much labor yesterday for the Star, and sends it bodily to the Sun with the modest heading, “Reported for the Baltimore Sun."
