The Celebration of the Introduction of the Croton Water into thy City of New York. Yesterday was the proudyst day for the city of New York, that its inhabitants have seen since the discovery of this part of the world by Hendrick Hudson, and as we believe since the fast anchor- ed isle of Manhattan emergad from the general deluge! It was the day of the Great Croton Celebration.— For several days previous, thowsands of strangers had been pouring into the city from all parts of the country, to see and join in the procession,until there must have been at least 200,000 strangers in the city, making an aggregate with the resident inhabi- tants of halfa millon of souls congregated in our streets, Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm or the ex- citement occasioned by this glorious event. The streets were cleaned, most admirably for once,thanks to the Seventeenth street inspectors, of whom our 2d ward, rosy-faced Jack Hill, was the Chairman. The Superintendant of Hacks, Isaac H. Brown, also did his duty by clearing the streets in the line of the procession of all the carriages, hacks, carts, and other vehicles ; and every thing was done that pru- dence and energy could accomplish to make the whole pass off without interruption,. accident, or annoyance. The day was beau‘ifully fine ; the sun rose in unclouded splendor and majesty. Scarce a cloud bedimmed the blue vault of Heaven, and it seemed, (if in the description of sublunary matters we may use the expression,) that the Supreme Ruler of the Universe looked down with delight upon this celebration of an event, fraught with so many blessings to the Queen City of the greatest nation upon earth! ‘The celebration commenced at daylight with the roar of one hundred cannon, and all the fountains in the city immediately began to send forth the lim- pid stream of the Croton. Soon after this, the joy- ous bells froma hundred steeples pealed forth their merry notes to usher in the subsequent scenes. At and before this moment, over half a million of souls leaped simultaneously from their slumbers and their beds, and dressed themselves as for a gladsome gala day—a general jubilee. ‘The necessary arrangements of breakfast, indie- pensable as they were, were soon despatched. And in a very few minutes afterwards thousands of hu- man beings wended their way into the great streets and avenues through which the procession was to pass. Long before nine o’clock all the windows, houses, sidewalks, balconies, roofs, awning posts, lamp posts, ridges, hydrants, chimneys, railings,trees, and every conceivable spot on which a foot could touch was occupied by anxious spectators, each “straining for the start,” which did not commence for two hours afterwards. The streets in every di- rection leading to the route of the procession was crammed with the living, moving multitude. Old men of 90, tottering side by side with feeble infan cy, mingled up with females of every age, rank, condijon and complexion, were in the mighty throng. Four-score and ten forgot its infirmity, and woman disremembered the delicacy of her sex, to catch even a passing glimpse at the procession, ‘The preliminary arrangements of the presentation of the banner tothe Fire Department by the Mayor, and the reply thereto we have given below, to- gether with the full details of the procession. But no pen can do justice to the scene itself, and particu- larly to that most important portion of it, the spec: tators. Beginmng at the Battery, which was crowded with gazers throughout the extent of the line, nearly seven miles, every window and housetop was crowded, mostly with lovely female faooe- From the Bowling Green to Union Square, it wa nothing but aperfect sea of heads, independent of the procession itself, and the blaze of beauty up Broadway was absolately enchanting. We really think we speak within bounds when we say that 50,000 women were Spectators for this space alone. ‘The upper part of the city early made preparation forthe expected pageant. Grand street, in particu- lar, through which the procession was to pass, was thoroughly swept clean. All the hydrants were playing, creating bubbling brooks down either gut- ter, from which the water was spread by men sta- tioned for that purpose over the whole surface of the street, allaying the dust, and giving it a clean and coolappearance. The houses, being favorably situated to view the passing scene, were in order betimes. The open windows were filled with beauty and fashion, in their best array of “ bibs and tuck- rs,” and smiling faces. Pipes from the hydrants, at alternate corners, formed small but beautiful jets d'eau. At the corner of the Bowery a beautiful fountain sent the leaping waters sparkling towards “heaven. In all directions and in all forms the lim- ped waters met the eyes. The star of temperance seemed indeed to have illuminated, and the blessing of abundant water duly appreciated.— ‘The Bowery to Union square presented similar appearances. That lovely spot was open to the publie, and filled with “the gay, the young, and the fair,” as weil as with the aged and the ugly. The splendid mansions which surround this or- nament to the city, contained myriads of mili- tary faces expecting the march of the water wor- shippers who were to pass themin review. At 10 minutes before noon the distant roll of the drum was heard, when the fountain in the centre of the Park began to play. Its column of sparkling water was thrown fifty feet into the air, and the multitude of smaller pipes that encircled the basin, threw their minor streams inwards, as if bowing in deference to the superior vigor of the main jet. At 12M. the head of the column reached the square, when the glo- rious sun bursting from the clouds which encircled him, illuminated the ecene. His rays, reflected from the sparkling waters of the fountain, covered it with a beautiful rainbow. On they came, that glorious pageant, company after company, battalion succeeding battalion, divis- ion after division,countermarching the square as they came up Broadway and returned down the Bowery. The military were succeeded by the civic officers, among whom the busy hum distinguished his Ex- cellency, the Governor of New York, with his suite. A roar of laughter burst from rank and file, from street, equare, and houses, echoed back from heaven, as a barouche passed the house of 8 B. Rug- gles, Esq., and a little red headed man stood up in it, and raised his hat, which salute was returned by a bouncing colored lady dressed in white, and sur- rounded by splendid cushions, on which she leaned forward from the window, surrounded by a bevy of pale but beautiful damsels, not unlike a queen of Sheba amid her Georgian slaves. The lengthen- ing stream of the bold, the brave, the useful, the phi- lanthropic and the scientific rolled on. In two hours and a half from the time the foremost troops had reached Union Square, the Jast man in the pro- cession was retiring in the distance down the Bowery. All down the Bowery the galaxy of beauty was bewitching. In Grand street, the roots of houses, awning posts, lamp posts, ana even the stalls of the Grand street market, were covered with spectators. ‘The market stalls never had such a precious freight on them before, and the street was in admirable or- der. But the crowning scene of the day was East Broadway. Here the loveliness of the ladies sur- passed belief ; the elegance and neatness of dreas, beauty of form and feature, of the belles of East Broadway, will long be remembered by those who saw them Again, down Chatham street, t was nothing u to be seen but human faces ; the houses were lite- rally hid by them ; and in the neighborhood of the Park, the scene beggars description. In the broad space at the head of Nassau street, Park Row, Chambers street, and all the adjoining streets, there was nothing but a dense mass of human beings.— And the Park in every part was crammed full of people, all happy, well dressed, sober, and determin- ed to be delighted. ‘The procession we shall now describe. It was near seven miles in length ; and this can be proved by all. For when the head of the line reached the corner of Chambers street in Chatham street, on its return, the Franklin Temperance Society was cross- ing Chambers street in Broadway. With the defi- eit of 150 yards, it reached from the City Hall, round the entire route, back to the City Hall. The precession occupied just two hours and 28 minutes in passing the City Hall, going up. The Fire De partment alone occupied one hour and 17 minutes ; but they were only two abreast, with the exception of the Southwark Company, who were four abreast, and looked superbly, as did Nos. 5, 14, the North- ern Liberties, and in fact allthe fire companies. When the tail end of the Fire Department. No. 50, rested at Vauxhall Gardens, the head of that divi- sion, John T. Rollins, had just reached Chatham square, thus occupying aspace of two miles and a quarter ; and on a moderate calculation, they had 4000 men in their division. Estimating from this data, and remembering that the military were sometimes 12 abreast, there must have been about 20,000 persons in this procession. Where all looked so well, it seems wrong to par- ticularize; but we must speak of the Fire De) ment, and the Butchers and the Temperance Soci ties, as the great features in the procession, although they were almost destitute of music. But they were a noble looking setofmen. We are so accustomed to fee the military out that we are apt to neglect them. But the Light Guard, the City Guard, the Tompkins Blues, the National Greys, the Flush- ing Company, and the other Companies from va- rious towns and cities, all deserve a special notice.— They looked and marched most admirably. Allthe Marshals and Aid-de-Camps of the day also deserve everlasting credit for the admirable manner in which they arranged the procession. The close of the day was distinguished by an illumination of the Astor House, the Park Theatre, and the Howard House. The Astor House was most beautifully decorated during the day, with festoons of tri-colored bunting, by Voorhis, of Mai- den Lane; and in the evening, 61 windows were lighted up with 732 candles, (122 lbs.) And what is astonishing, the whole of these were lighted up in twenty-seven seconts, through the admirable ar- rangements of Messrs. Stetson S¢ Coleman. A beautiful wreath of dahlias ornamented the portico, which was presented by Mr. Thorburn, and in which there were 1140 dablias. This glorious day closed with a grand ball at Washington Hall, and all passed off without a single accident. After all was over, and about ten at night, the rain descended in torrents, and the streets were de- serted ; forming a striking contrast to the scenes of daylight. PRESENTATION OF THE BANNER To THE New Yorx Fire Department. At9 o'clock, A. M., the magnificent Croton Ban- ner was presented to the Fire Department of this city, agreeable to a resolution of the Common Coun- cil, as a token of the high regard and estimation in which that institation is held by the honorable body. A Ex-Alderman Timpson, of the 13th, made a few preiimiuary remaras, highly appropriate to the occa- sion, and jpop. eeaed to read the resolution, which aililforised the late commitiee on fire and water to procure a suitable banner for the fire de- partment, now to be presented, and regretted ex- tremely that want of time necessarily precluded some remarks he intended to make. ‘he foliowing is the resolution authorising the presentation :— Resolved—That a suitable banner be provided at the ex- nse of the city, under the direction of the present mem- rs of the joint committee of fire and water, and that the same be presented to the fire department by his honor Mayor, on the occasion of the celebration of the introduce tion of the Croton water into this city. His Honor the Mayor then rose to consummate the presentation of the banner, which was accompa- nied! by the following appropriate address; Ma. Maror : Ma. Present axp Trustees or tHe Fint Derantment. I have been deputed by a resolution which has just been read to you, to present, on the part of the Common Council, to the department of which you are officers, this Banner, as a testimonial of their high approbation of the services rendered by the fire department, and as evi- dence of their esteem and r for the members composing that department. The fire department was organised on the twentieth day of March, 1798, from which period to the present time, by its con stant vigilance and unceasing and disinterested ‘efforts, the property ofour citizens has been protected. Blendid with the important services you havethus rendered, you have also performed the important junctions of a charitable in- stitution, having for its object the relief of the widows and orphans of your deceased astociates; the benefits thus conferred by the department have been as ex- tensive as their intentions were praiseworthy ..— This occasion, the celebration of the arrival of the Cro- ton water in our city, is happily selected for the presenta- tion of this banner, as it is to be hoped that among the many important benefits to result from that work not the least will beto relieve your department ofa, ‘reat proportion ofits dangerous and arduous duties. emblems gupon this standard are indicative of t) foresight and energy of our citizens and of the servic aad humanity of the firedepartment. On one side stan the Queen of cities, Feprosenting the scientific enterpr: of our citizens, and pointing to the Croton dam and aque} duct, which leads the waters of a disant river to our city, for our protection and comfort, On the other side is Nep- tune, the god of the ocean, showing that these waters have arrived among us. ‘Their effect is exhibited by the figure of victory which stands wpon the prostrate Demon of Fire, white the widow and the orphan children, with their friend the fireman, show the consummation of the work, and that the charity of your department is all that will now be required of you.’ Accept, sir, this banner, and present it to your associates as a token of our regard, and an emblem of the services they have rendered, The Mayor was replied to by Apam Psnrz, Presi- dent of Fire Department, as follows—acknowledg- ing the reception of the banner, and tendering the warmest thanks of the department. In behalf of the Fire Department, I thank you cordially for the presentation of this elegant token of the approba- tion, and kind feeling of the Common Council, and for the handsomeand complimentary terma in which you have been pleased to convey it. I am sensible that no len- guage of mine could any thing like an adequate ex- pression of the gratification experienced by the depart ment upon this occasion. That ation is not i- nished but enhanced by the reftection, that no extensive conflagration, recently subdued by the energy andthe activity of the department, has awakened in a gemerous community a disposition thus to express its approbation ; but that those into whose hands the people have entrusted thé guardianship of these interests, regardin tion as a most efficient agent of public and not un- mindful of the services and the sacrifices to which ite members are subjected,have in this public manner marked their appreciation ofthe past, while at the same time they have held out a stimulus to the future. The occasion up- on which we are assembled, commemorating the comple- tion of one of the most stupendous public works of the ‘Union or of the age, furnishing so rational a cause for re- Joicing, is welcomed by no portion of your fellow citizens with more sincere pleasure than by that portion which Thave the honor to represent. While some have looked merely to the introduction of pure and wholesome water into the city as being an indispensable requisite of public health, and others regarding the distance from which it has been brought, and th les overcome, as consti! tuting an enduring monument of the enterprise and pub- lic spirit of our citizens, the firemen of the city, while par- ticipating in the feelings of both these classes, yet with that devotion to their duties by which they have e been distinguished, rejoice chiefly because this great work, in giving increased efficiency to their exertions, affords additional seonrity to the property of their fellow citizens. It is perhaps not too much to say that nearly all the great fires by which large portions otour city have been dev tated, might have been early arrested had the department possessed the same lities for obtaining an abundant supply of w: asthat which they will now enjoy from the introduction of the Croton. In view of these facilities, and animated by this expreasson on the part of the city go- vernment, the members of the department will continue to discharge their duties with increased zeal, and cherish the recollection of this day as among the brightest in the history of their (nstituion. The resolution was presented to the Common Council by the late Assistant ‘Alderman Thomas R. Lar, Eeq., of the sth ward, and was unanimously approved and adopted by both branches of the city government. At the time the resolution was offered, it was supposed the celebra- tion of the introduction of the water of the Croton in this our institu- city, would take place on the 4th of July, the day we cele- brate as that on which our glorious national independence was declared. ‘The committes to whom the resolution was entrusted, consisting of Corns. B, Timpson, Abraham Hat- field, Morris Franklin, William Adams, Daniel Ward, and D. D. Briggs, were prepared to comply with its object on the day mentioned, but unavoidable circumstandces eause farther delay, and it was accordingly postpon: ‘The Banner was designed and executed by Allan Smith, Jun., Esq, of teis city. The front represents the fire de- partment as having achieved a victory over the devouring element, receiving the blesssngs and thaiks of the widow and her orphans for the protection and benefit derived from it—beautiful emblems of power and beni- ficence—helplessness and gratitude.

Sanford. The mili- tary rarely, if ever, musiered so strong, and among those companies who deserve mention for their neatness of appearance and soldier-like bearing, were the Tompkins Blues, the Scotch company in their ancient uniform, the National Greys, and others, making together near three thousand men. The Second Division, under the direction of Maj. General Stryker, assieted by P. W.

Then the Mayors of New York, Brooklyn, Al- bany, Troy, Jersey city, and Newark. Here followed, the second regiment of New York State Artillery, under command of Colonel Peers, as anescort to the Common Council, preceded by Dodworth’s excellent brass band. ‘ At this time the firmament became overcast with clouds, as though nature herself had formed a shield for the procession from the rays of theTsun.

Appended was a card with the inscription of “* Mother and Daughter united, the Peace‘of the World preserved.” Following this,came the Engineers and ‘ Officers of the Croton Water Works, and in their reara machine manufactured by Meecher & Banks for tapping the Croton water pipes. ‘hen came oie row boat, manufactured by C. L. Ingersoll. A The thint division, under ‘the direction of Gen. Morris, assisted by Andrew H. Mickle, aid to the Grand Marshall, then presented itself. Here six officers of the Army and three of the Navy, came into view, which was rather a small turn out. : 3 Quite a number of officers of the Militia, off duty, presented themselves at this point. ‘The Naval School, composed of about 100 stout, sturdy lads were accompanied by Thomas Goin,the oung father of this only system of forming a true biue American navy. ‘ A few of the Reverend Clergy of eur city, and a small few, were in close carriages at this point of the procession. Here we expected to see the Judges and officers of the Courts, the Members of the Bar, the Profes- sors and Students of the University, the New York Lyceum, the Society of Letters, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade, the Historical, Philosophical, the Philological and other scientific Societies forthe promotion of the Fine Arts, but we looked in vain, asnot one ot them were to be seen.

To these are to be added the 1 companies from other towns and cities, which numbered a total of 542 men; making in the whole an aggregate of 4026 men. The Fairmount Engine from Philadelphia, and Neptune Hose were among the most splendid and beautiful a) tus in the procession. The latter takes the shine from all our Mose carriages The Ps big and Jersey City Fire Department present- ed a fine and manly appearance, and the New Haven company, No. 3, were of the right sort for a long run and a bad fire. No. 5 Engine company and No. M4 presented a neat appearance. The Eleventh Ward Hose company presented a live American Eagle on their carriage, who becoming uneasy from his T cnpiiaw made his eseape before the procession closed. The apparatus of Engine company No. 38 was drawn by four black horses beautifully mounted and accompanied by six boys, with a strong turn out of the members. ®City Hose Company No. 88 followed, and exhi- bited the new temperance banner presented them by the Liberty Fire Company of Baltimore her presents an interior view of Washing with several portraits.

The is Mr 4 most prom ent character, however, Vansant, who is represented in full fireman’s dress, just as he is about signing the pledge. The design is & neat one, and the artist has succeeded in mak- ing a very pretty picture. On the reverse side of the banner are the words, “ Presented by the Li- berty Fire Company of Baltimore, Md., tothe Cit Hose Company, No. 33, of New York city? J. P. Teule, Foreman.” ‘The material of the banner is very fine green silk, and itis tastefully finished with gold fringe and eight large gold bullion tassals. The Northern Liberty Engine was drawn by six white horses, with a small hose tender in the rear, preceded by a band, and banner of exquisite em- broidery. They were neatly dreesed in red flannel shirts, with black pants, and black belts. Hook and Ladder Company No. 7, from Harlem, was most beautifully surmounted with arches, com: po sed of evergreens, box and dablias, with their ap- paratus arranged in picturesque order, and two small boys in the act of ascending and descending the ladders erected in the centre of the car. The Southwark Engine Company’s apparatus was not only a mammoth in appearance, but her members mustered to the motto of “always ready,” as though they were never otherwise. The Third Ward Hose Cart also deserves special notice from the neat and firemanlike appearance of its members. The beautiful banner previously described as pre- sented by the city to the Fire Departme at,was borne upon a carpeted car drawn by four white horses, led by coal-black colored gentlemen, topped ot with ‘turbans, and was placed at the head of this division The fifth division, under command of Colonel Philbrick, assisted by James Nesbitt, Aid to the Grand Marshall, was led off by The Masonic Fraternity, consisting of Naval Podge, Montgomery, Mechanics’, Mount Mesiah, Adelphia, Washington, Abraham, Fortitude an: German No, 12. Ancient Chapter No. 1, presented quite a showy aspect, with large red scarts anda handsome banner of scarlet silk. Following them came a number of the membera of the Grand Lodge of this State, and we also ob- served three members of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina in the procession. The Bible carried in the procession of the Grand Lodge, is the identical one on which the Father of his Couutry, the immortal Washington, was sworn into office on his inauguration as President of the United States. On the cover are printed in gold letters, the following words : “God shall establish.” St. Joh tuted $767 Burnt down the 8th of March, 877 Re-built and opened 5770. Jonathan Hampton, M.

Here came, in peculiar contrast, the Croton Pipe Department, comprising some dozen carriages, drawn by six, four, and two horses, carrying Croton water pipes of various sizes. The first carriage contained a number of workmen engagea in_pre- paring pipe for use, and dressed in working uniform, with bands upon their caps marked ‘ pipe layers,’ which caused many a serious reflection among the Blatchfords, the Stevensons, the Glentworths, and the Whigs aad ore Layers generally. Then came the Little Boat, about seven feet long, mounted on a carriage, in which were sented seve- ral little girls and boys, bearing the inscription of “ The Sistors of Croton Lake.” Here followed the Typographical Society, pre. ceded by an interesting relic, lately brought from England by Col. James B. Murray, and said to be the identical press on which Franklin labored while in that country, and which was in operation printing the ose of Gen. Morris, for distribution among the crowd. A something intended to de mon “The Miller and his men” was here brought to our view, and the idea may be understood |» the populace, but it was not by us. 7 Following was a beautiful model of the steamboat North America, drawn on a car by two horses, and in their rear were those veterans Captains McLane, Schultz, Stephen Roe, and others, representing the “North River Navy,” with a surgeon in attedance to adjust all difficulties. _ Then came the Phenix Foundry Association of this city, represented by a carriage, drawn by four horses, on which were workmen engaged in the or- dinary avocations of this extensive foundry. The sixth division, under direction of Capt. Wm. Cornell , assisted Me George G. Hopkins, one of the aids of the Grand Marshal, comprised the hearty and robust Butchers of our city and Brooklyn, who pre- sented an appearance highly creditable to their en- terprize and public spirit. ss They were ep are by two trucks, bearin, representation of a farmer's yard, and the butcher’s head quarters; the former containing a number of live animals in prime condition, and the latter the banners giving the names of each market, and other devices, with a magnificent stuffed, but not roasted, ox, forming a centre piece of attraction to which all eyes were turned. ‘ * They numbered about 500 strong, and were neatly uniformed with white aprons and checked sleev Bringing up their rear, we perceived 50 or 60 chick. en butchers and wealthy hucksters of all kinds and descriptions. a abet The Seventh Division, under direction of John Ridley, assisted by Mr. Silas L. Howell. one of the Grand Marshal’s aids. It was preceded by the society of gold and silver artizans, who numbered 340 out of a society of 1700. On atable carried by colored men neatly dressed. were placed several hundred pieces of silver ani gold of elegant and costly werkmanship, that at- tracted the ag tot every , woman and child, and canis Cie sorutnising propensities of the thieves, burglars and pick-pockets who were |i ly inattendance. A wreath on the top, of fine go) weighing Sepemny veighiss was of exquisite work - manship, and among others were fob chains, guard chains, bracelets, cameo gold and silver forks and vases, cups, pitchers, goblets, and a glass cu; containing 50 ounces of pure silver in the lump, and another with 200 pennyweights of virgin gold in the purified state. It was a rich and tempting sight, such as is rarely seen in the public streets of our busy city.
