Price Two Cents, The Celebration Yesterday. ‘The morning of yesterday was bright and fair, and | both earth and heaven seemed to unite in the cele- bration of the day. A gentle and refreshing breeze tempered the intensity of the mid-summer sun, and the weather was in_all respects singularly propitious. From early morn ’till near midnight the streets ofthe city were filled with thronging crowds, but no gross breaches of the public peace marred the occasion and very few accidents occurred. It was matter of uni- versal and gratifying remark that so little in- temperance was apparent. On the whole, the cele- bration in this city passed off very quietly—more quietly than any previous “Fourth of July” in our | recollection. Tue Barrery ano ‘rar Bay.—The military were i rly hour, and by half past 8 o'clock, «lway presented a most lively aspect, as the dil- ferent companies of artillery marched down towards the Battery. There was a very numerous turn-out of the various companies, both foot and horse, Na- tional Guard, Scottish Guard, Lancers and Hu: : all accompanied by their respective bands. The General Otlicers and their Staffs, in all the pride of prancing chargers, cocked hats, streatning feathers, and lace-bedizened uniforms, astonished the country people who, at this early hour, were pouring into the city from all the various ferries. ‘The weather was most propitious for the celebration, and the cool morning presented a more enlivening prospect to the military, than did the scorching weather which they met with during their parade end march on the day of the Jackson procession. On arriving at the Bat- tery, at 9 o’clock they were formed intoline, and re- viewed by Major General Sandford, after which they took up their line of march from the Battery to Whitehall, and thence through Broadway to War- ren street, down Warren to West Broadway, through West Broadway to Chambers street, thence to Cen- tre street, and thence to the east gate of the where, after paying the honors of a marching salute to the Mayor and Corporation, and firmg a feu de joie, they were dismissed. The scene at the Battery was not so lively as we have seen it on similar o sions in former years, though it was crowded to e: cess in the morning. Boys firing crackers, women frightened at the same, and people walking up and down in search of enjoyment, comprised pretty much all that was going on. There appeared to be but a small amount of drinking and carousing in this part of the city, and infact, in the afternoon the Battery presented more the same appearance that it does on a Sunday than any thing else, as, after the militaryleft,but little attraction was to be found there. The different steamboats that land in the vicinity kept on till mid-day pouring out a continual stream of pleasure seekers from Staten and Long Islands, who spread themselves over the city. ‘The vessels of war in the bay were all dressed off with flags, also the merchant ships and the numerous steamboats that were speeding off inall directions, were beauti- fully decorated, and as all of the latter had bands of music on board, the sound of the distant music fell pleasantly on the ear. At twelve o’clock, a national salute was fired from on board the North Carolina, and from the forts in the harbor. The appearance of the bay with the numerous vessels that are at an- chor there dressed up, the hundreds of small boats darting to and fro, the ships coming in from sea, and the steamboats dashing about in all directions, was most beautiful. On passing Wall street, it looked dull n, and both it and the other cross streets pre- sented a striking contrast to Broadway—in fact, it appeared as if all the other parts of the city were de- serted for this great thoroughfare. Tue Park.—Crry Hati.—This grand centre of attraction, from an early hour, drew together vast crowds in succession, every hour in the day. So early as nine o'clock, were to be seen, flocking to- wards the City Hall, all classes of our citizens, trom the fair “demoiselle of blushing fifteen,” to the more sober and staid maiden of twenty, escorted by well selected troupes of beaux, whose gallantry, and “ gaite de ceur,” were the theme of universal re- mark. ‘The Park was nearly filled up, to its utmost capacity, at eleven o’clock, with a ‘‘ motley group,” consisting of the ‘jolly tar,” wit his “black eyed Sue;” the rollicking widow and her ‘down-east” suitor; the “grave, the gay, the lively, the severe;” the whole presented a sort of ‘olla-podrida,” of humanity; which could not be equalled in London or Paris. Every nation on the habitable globe, was, on this occasion, eflectively represented. The me- sanenphioned cockney, ‘halt ankeefied, having his two cent “cheroot” in requisition, lounging along with an overweening uir of self-consequen The sleek haired damsels of Dutchland—the Turk—the Jew—the Atheist—the beauteous “daughters of Gotham—the “gazelle eyed” maiden of sunny Italy —the “dusky Venus” of Afric’s clime, all flocked forward to enjoy the festivities, and enliven the proceedings. ‘Though, a considerably observant eye would at once discover the national characteristics of many of the various groupes in attendance; yet, it was easy to perceive, that but one feeling predominated in the breasts of all, namely, a thorough devotion to the conmnon interests of their adopted country—a reve- rence for its institutions—a cordial sympathy in cel- ebrating the great National Festival, which all seem- ed so much to enjoy. At halt past eleven o’clock, His Honor, the Mayor, accompanied by Oriver Cuaruick, Esq., President of the Board of Alder- man; and Narianren I cE, Esq., the gentleman- ly. President of the Board of Assistants, followed by, the Common Council, entered the apartments in City Hall, which were set aside tor refreshments. Mayor Ilavemeyer and the Com- mon Council, immiediately on entering, proceeded to dispense the hospitalities of the city to a highly fashionable assemblage of our fair citizens, who graced the rooms with their presence. The fare consisted of the choicest description of every de- lieacy ef the season, which could be procured in ac- cordance with the most rigid temperance principles. Alter partaking of some refreshment, aud adminis- tering to the vast groups who flocked forward to the apartment, the Mayor and Common Conncil pro- ceeded to the front of the City Hall, to receive a sa- jute from Major General Sandford and the Military. At this stage, the entire ne was truly animating. ‘The Park was nearly lined around with cavalry— the shouting was incessant, and the balcony in front of the City Hall presented a perfect galaxy of gorge- ous female loveliness—of classic beauty—that “ old Gotham” may well feel proud ot. The Major Gene- ral hereupon ordered the troops to fire a feu-de-jcie, which was kept up for a considerable time, alter which several dtapetied to the various places of pub- lic amusement. Mr. Taylor and family, of the City Hall, whose assiduity and attention to visitors at all times, have gained them universal respect and esteem, were busily occupied during the day in dispensing polite- ness and attention to the vast crowds who flocked to this quarter upto a very late hour. Govenrnor’s Rooms —These apartments were fill- ed to excess; and, independent of the attractions which the day called forth, are at all times well wor- thy of a visit, to every full-souled American. The rooms are tastefully furnished, and are decorated with well-executed portraits of several of the heroes of the revolution. ‘The personal character of every one ot these noble-hearted heroes, who fought and bled in the cause of human liberty, of popular free- dom, may be traced in their fine, manly counten- ane ‘The rough portraiture, the sturdy arm, the stout, athletic form of most of those eminent men, who carved the wayto national independence with the sword, at once awakens a feeling of reverential re- card in the breast of every lover of popular freedom. The great “ Father of his Country,” is here beauti- fully represented. The very |flag that waved defi- ance at the British lion, and, that waved triumphant upon the plains of Saratoga, borne aloft by the proud American eagle, is to be seen here. The identical chair in which the immortal Washington first sat on being appointed President, after the revolution, is to seen here; his celebrated bureau, as well asa splen- did selection of highly executed paintings of the fol- lowing distinguished heroes of the revolution, Pre- sidents, Governors, and other distinguished and eminent men; a beautiful marble bust of the great De Witt Clinton, paintings of Sir Walter Raleigh, Columbus, Bolivar, Governor Throop, Swift, W.l- liams, bronze statue of Jefferson, Governor Lewis, Macomb, Duane, Montgomery, Franklin, Clinton, Varick, Livingston, Willett, Governor Yates, Hull, Radeliff, Colden, Allen, Paulding, Hone, Bowne, Gideon Lee, Lawrence, Brown, Parry, Lafayette, Aaron Clark, Decatur, McDonough, Bainbridge, Governor Tompkins, Stuyvesant, Presidents Mon- roe and Jackson. What abright page in American. history do not such an array of illustrious men illummate? The bold contour of most of the countenances of those noble hearted men, almost breathing on the canvas, was the subject of frequent remark and admiration during the day. Tue Miurrany Disrtay.—The turnout of the military, Was one of the chief features of the day. It was really creditable, in the highest degree, to the city and the State. . The “ first division of New York State Artillery,” comprises some of the finest, und most effective regiments in the Union. Fore- | | | Ly Wh My Uys > most amongst them is the 1th, Colonel Yates—the strength, discipline, and efliciency of which formed the chief subject of the Brigade orders, promul- gated at the close of the review, by General G. P. orris. Colonel Yates has devoted great _atten- tion to his regiment; and with the able aid of Capt. W. Jenkins, of the ** Morris Cadets,” soldier, well known in all the regions here: has succeeded in making ii second to none, in the regular or militia service of the United States. If the same fostering care were bestowed upon the 13th regiment of the same brigade, ne regiment in the Union could surpass it. As it is, the Scotch teompanies command universal attention and re- spect from their fine military deportment, and mar- tial appearence; the result entirely of the strict care, and devoted attention of Captains Castle and Craig. Colonel Ming has much to be proud of in his com- mand. The ‘Independence Guard,” Captain Cairns, paraded with the 13th Regiment, and excited great admiration on account of _ the perfection of their appearance and discipline. Capt. Cairns is well known as one of our most eflicient of- ficers. It was a source of much mortification to the staff of the 13th,that as the Independence Guard and Italian Guard, {parading with the regiment upon an invitation, no music made its appearance according to its appointment, and consequently was compelled to parade without a full band. The “Italian Guard” is composed of a number of fine looking Italians, and attracted much attention. Altogether the parade yesterday was very imposing, and at every view evinced the marked improvement in appearance, ap- pointments and discipline, which has of late taken place in the various corps comprising the First Divi- sion; and certainly, when we consider the time, la- bor and expense bestowed by each citizen soldier on the acquirement of the knowledge of the military profession, these displays should be regarded with universal and gratatul admiration and esteem. Civic Processton.—The Civic Societies began to form at 84 o’clock on Astor square. These consist- ed of the Shamrock Benevolent Society, and the Laborer’s Union Benevolent Society, with banners and insignia. From this place, their route lay down Broadway to the Tabernacle, where they assembled. This large edifice was nearly filled, and would have been completely so, but that there was a charge made for admission. As it was, the house present- ed a gay, and rather novel aspect. The two socie- ties numbered close on three thousand, and a more manly, hearty, and powerful looking’ set of men than filled the whole body of the building, could not be seen. The green shoulder scarfs too, for no- thing but the green was apparent on every hand, the banners of the same color, all was in perfect uni- ormity, and had a capital effect to the spectator. The Declaration of Independence was read by Mr. John Collins, ina rich Trish accent, and with heartfelt emphasis; it was listened to with all the reverance such a noble production demands. Mr. H. Byrne was the orator of the day. He ad- dressed the assembly for close upon two hours, and elicited repeated bursts of applause, as he spoke of the first struggle in this land for independence, sketched her present and growing greatness, con- trasted the glorious revolution of 1776 with the bloody and godless one of France in 1798. He spoke te his Irish hearers asAmerican citizens; most pathe- ucally alluded to their sequestration trom their dear native Island,and concentrated their views upon one grand consideration—their rights and duties as American citizens, and in this connection enforced upon them the paramount importance of educating their children, and by_care to instil into their minds the might of knowledge, and the worth of a compre- hensive moral, intellectual and religious education With the oration, the services closed. The socie- ties re-formed and marched throughChambers street round the Park, thence down Barclay to Hudson st, along Hudson st. and &thavenue to Mth street,ar- riving at Union square. After making the cireuit of Union square, they marched down the’ Bowery and through Grand and Marion to Prince street, where they dismissed. Two effective bands, in military costume attended them in their route, and perform- ed some piecesin the Tabernacle. This part of the day’s proceedings was certainly not one of the least pleasing. Among the others who held this anniversary with all due honors, was the Empire Club. They assem- bled in full strength at their head quarters in Park Row, at ten o’clock, and the Don Giovanni of New York, Capt. Rynders, having taken the chair, an address on the occasion was delivered. by Mr Reese, one of the members, which was listened to throughout with the most marked attention, and eli- cited great applause. iexcurstons.—At an early hour the sleeping citi- ens were aweke by the ringing of bells, firing of guns, squibs, and pop guns—the Shouts of boys and allthe usual e:.thusiasm which yearly visit the | breasts of the patriotic freemen of America. All | Gotham was, in fact wide awake by half past four | o’elock, and ready for fun, frolic and enjoyment Those who intended leaving the hot and noisy city, were of course first out of bed. Servants were called for—breakfasts demande¢—hot water and towels in great requisition—every thing out of plac* and nothing to be found. The greatest confusion existed in all quarters. At length the streets and avenues leading to the wharves were thronged with ay troops of laughing, bright eyed maidens, with their gallant cavaliers, with hurried tread and eager anxious faces,wending their way towards the steam- ers which were to bear them farfrom the noise and confusion of this vast metropolis. The Bay and shipping presented a brilliant and in- teresting appearance—flags and streamers were fly- ing; and all was life, gatety and good humor.— Steamboats were getting up steam, end Knicker- bockers hurrying on board. The decks of the steamer Croton, at Fulton slip, advertised for an excursion to that delightful sylvan retreat, Glen Cove, as wellas New Rochelle, Oys- ter Bay and Cold Spring, were soon crowded with the élite of the city, who preferred wild and roman- tic scenery, fresh air, and a capital dinner, to the | tiring of squibs, pistols and rockets. As the boat | left the wharf, a magnificent barouche, drawn by splendid bay horses, and filled with “fair women and brave men,” drove down. They hailed her, but |to no purpose; the steam was up, the moorings loosed, and away she flew, while strains of soft and | fairy like music floated on the breeze. Never have we seen fair, smiling faces, become more suddenly overcast. Vexation and uneasiness vsurped the place | of mirth and gaiety; it was positively too bad: the lovely creatures were Let i a and there was nothing left but to pout and cry. They at last, re- solved, however, to drive to the Abbey Hotel, on the Bloomingdale road, and spend the day in running through its delightful gardens, and fishing from the ban! ‘The steamers Highlander and Utiea were also very much crowded, and amid the shouts and cheers of the possengers, left the wharf at8 o'clock, while the ritan, for Brunswick; Hamilton, for Fort View of the Park on the Fourth, —_" Hamilton; Delaware, for Sandy’ Hook, and. Inde- pendence, for Perth Amboy, were all thronged with people, anxious to escape the noise of the city, and enjoy a delightful sail, and the peaceful retirement of the country. More than five thousand citizens visi- ted Hoboken, end great creditis due the Messrs. Stevens for their arrangements at the Ferry. 42Fineworxs—Tue Parx.—The Fireworks in the evening were of the most gorgeoas description ; and drew together an immense concourse of per- sons. The works were let off in front of the City Hall, and also from the balcony; and much of the efiect was lost te hundreds who attended, the works being obscured by the thick foliage of the trees.— The firing of crackersand other fireworks by groups of overgrown boys in men’s clothing, was, as usual, dangerous. However, every thing passed off with the utmost harmony and satisfacuon. There was an excellent band stationed in iront, onthe balcony, who played a variety of soul-stirring airs and select pieces with admirable taste and execution. At half past 8 o’clock several ckets in succes- sion were vet off, and shot their fiery course through the heavens, displaying on high, in rich profusion, groups of variegated stars of every,hue and color in the rainbow. To attempt to describe the fireworks would be almost an impossibility. Every fantastic shape and form,from the hissing snake to the fabled tiery dragon, vomiting forth the element upon which it breathes, were beautifully represented. The rain- bow which the illustrious bard beautifully describes, a sort of “heavenly cameleon,” was represented to the minutest shade, At one time a gorgeous sun- burst would captivate the eye— “baptised in molten gold, And cradled in vermillion.” At another tume,a_ brilliant display of bright starlight, which eventually would fade away, to again burst forth in adisplay of dazzling blue, or azure, orgreen, er rich purple. Altogether the tireworks reflect the highest possible credit upon the gentleman who got them up, Mr. J. Edge, of og Jersey City. The last piece certainly surpassed anything of the kind ever before exhibited in this city, as universally admitted by all. It was exhibited from the baleony, and layed in rich vermilion and golden lett “ Ducit amor patr (Love of country predominates.) den letters— the words Also, in rich gol- “WASHINGTON.” “1776.” “UNION. There were several booths around the Park for the sale of refreshments, At the conclusion of the fireworks, the vast concourse who had collected, dispersed in all quarters, and all passed off with the utmost harmony, if we except the blaze of some few muslin frocks ‘and bonnets, which did not eseape the crackers of the overgrown boys and big children that kept continually firing them off. Among the mavy displays of fireworks yesterday, few were more conspicious or more general than those in front of the United States Hotel, at the toot of Fulton street, by a gang of what ‘may be termed hotel loungers, such as may be every day seen on the steps of the different taverns in the city, or with the soles of their feet displayed at the windows. 'The amusement of the party alluded to consisted of throwing crackers and chasers amid the hundreds of persons, particularly females, who, throughout, the day, landed from the Brooklyn ferry boats, making them run in every direction through mud and mire, to avoid them, to the great personal alarm of the females and children, and the bespat- tering of many a neatly got up muslin dress and de- licate white trowsers. ‘To such an extent was this carried, that?many persons turned up other streets to avoid them. We heard of one female being thrown down in consequence, but she was more frightened and dirtied than hurt. ‘Tur Tuearres. Casti® Garven.—There were three performances given here during the day, each one ot which were attended well, but the evening one had one of the largest audiences that we believe have ever collected together in one theatre in the United States. The whole of the vast building was crowded to such an extent that no sitting room could be obtained by late comers, for love or money, and many witnessed the performance through the doors that open on the esplanade ; there could not of been less than from twelve to thirteen thousand souls assembled, and the sea of upturned faces presented a most extraordinary view. A more thorough set of pleasure seekers we never saw; they were pleased with the excellent performances, with the refreshments, with the splendid fireworks, with themselves, in fact with everything, Amidst such @ vast assemblage, the most ex tient order was preserved, and it speaks volumes for our citizens, when we say, that during the whole evening as much quiet and regularity was observed, as on any common occasion in a theatre. Messrs. French and Heiser reaped a rich harvest yesterday, and deservedly too, for their great efforts to please the publia. Nravo’s Ganpen.—This recherché establishment was thronged last night by at least five thousand persons. Every seat in the theatre was occupied be- ore half-past 7, and the grand saloon and gardens were alive with the élite and curious. Messrs. Set- ton and Chippendale, in the tarce of Uncle Sam, ac- mselves with great credit, and the display ‘as altogether superior to those shown ny former occasion. All seemed well pleased Niblo is surely on the high road to fortune. Panwo’s Opera Ilouse.—This place of amuse- ment was well attended by a very respectable au- dience. The grand burlesque opera of “Buy-I- dare,” went off with great eclat, and many of the pieces were encored. ‘The solo on the accordion, by Mr. Huntley, was greatly and justly applauded, ce was scarcely satisfied with one ie Virginian Girl” excited much laugh- ter, particularly the solo on the combadoor. Indeed the whole performance was most excellent, and well worthy of the patronage it received. This is the last night of their performance, and those who have never seen this talented troupe, had better take the opportunity. We can assure them they will be amlpy gratified and amused. ‘THe Bowery—AsronisHinG Feat.—The most as- tonishing feat of the day was performed by Mr. Hood, of the Bowery. At about seven o’clock in the evening,a vast crowd were collected in the Bow- ery, to Witness this extraordinary feat, namely, walking across the entire width of the Bowery, op- posite the theatre,on a tight rope. The rope was extended from the highest roof ef the houses at either side, measuring about ninety feet across, and the elevation from the street was calculated at about fifty-two feet. Mr. Hood, at the appointed hour. with perfect sang froid, commenced his work, an proceeded across, the crowds of spectators below in the street looking up with evident anxiety, in al- most breathless suspense. To the astonishment of all, Mr. Hood performed the feat with perfect ease, and on arriving at his place of destination, after the performance, was hailed with loud, long and reiter- ated applause. The theatre was filled almost to suf- tocation during the evening. The bill of tare was excellent. ‘Tus CuatHam was crowded to excess long before seven o'clock, and several unable to procure places, were compelled to go to some other place of amuse- ment Accipents —There were but few accidents during the d far as we could ascertain, and no fires whatever occurred to mar the festivity of the day. We heard of but two casualties, one in Ann street and the other in Chatham street. The first was a boy, whose hand was shattered by the premature explosion of the gun; and the second, a man whose arm was also shattered by the bursting of a pistol. A young woman was run over by an omnibus in ?ark row, but no bones broken; the extent of her injuries, if any, we were not able to ascertain. There were but few casualties beyond what we have already given. A young child was run over in the Bowery by a carriage, about dusk, and seriously injured. Xt the Hospital they had but a few cases of burns, and none of them serious. Tue Sveurss. Srorrinc.—The following match was announced to come off over the Harlem Course yesterday.— Purse of $30, Mile heats, best three in five, under the saddle, H.

It having been previously ascertained that the two other horses belonged to the same person, or came out of the same stable, the other refused to go, justly deeming that two against one was too much of a good thing.

Tr anp Haniem.—The numbers who resorte ille, Harlem, and the beautiful spots along the avenues, were not so numerous as are frequently met with on Sundays. Not but at the same time there was a goodly muster, and the omnibusses and railway cars were well filled, each trip, throughout the day; but they were mostly strangers in those parts, or families endeavoring to ese from the eternal buzz and crack, crack that prevailed in the city. There might be seen the family man. with his wife, and some five or six children, beautifully tailed off, unless jwhenbrought up to a dead stand at an apple stall or a candy shop. ‘There were a great number of visitors at the reser- voir during the day, where every attention was paid to them in showing and explaining the works, &c, At Yorkville and Prospect Hall, Hurlgate,&c.; small family parties might be frequently met with, some pic nicking, and others taking whatever the ditterent houses aflorded. The great point of attraction at Harlem was Geiger’s pleasure gardens. Here the youngsters revelled in delight, being free to help themselves to the fruit with which the trees were loaded; and bountifulty they helped themselves, no doubt at the cost of many a stomach ache to-day. In this neighborhood there was held a Ladies’ Fair, on behalf of the Presbyterian Church, which afforded the resi- dents someflittle amusement,the chureha trifle of pro- fit, and the ladies an opportunity of displaying them- selves and their wares to the best advantage. There were also some good trotting matches over the Har- lem course, which attracted the attention and pre- sence of the sporting gents of the nighborhood ard New York; and before and afterwards some trials of speed, upset and breakage along the road. The great attraction of the day inthis neighborhood,was amost beautiful new omnibus, drawn by six grey horses, with nodding plumes, engaged by the Phil delphia Washington Association, who were on a visit to this city to spend the Anniversary of the Na- tion’s Independence. The principal point of attrac- traction on the Bloomingdale road was the Abbey, in whose sylvan shades many families took refuge from the din and turmoil of the city. Nor was Cor- poral ‘Thompson forgotten amid the many at- tractions provided, by his military friends in par- ticular, so that his house was pretty well jammed throughout the day. During the whole of this route we did not observe @ single accident of any moment, nor above two or three drunken persons, and one fight, but every abundance of crackers and squibs, | and other fire-works. Indeed, all appeared to enjoy themselves to the top of their bent, in a rational and peaceful way. BxooxiyN.—The neighboring: cities of Brook- lyn, Jersey, _ Williamsburg, &e., seem to ave been quite deserted, owing to the fes- tivities and various amusements which have been announced for some weeks past, to take place upon the ever memorable Fourth of July, in this city. The morning was serene and beauti- ful, and the lads and lasses, as might well be expect- ed, were from an early hour on the tiptoe,with throb- bing hearts and beaming eyes, to wend their way to the great city of Gotham. Through the ditlerent thoroughfares, leading to and fro, solitary tent might be seen decorated with a thousand fantastical daubs from the hand of the limner, and now. and then invitations to those fairy regions were freely offered, and, as a matter of course, as freely accepted by the fair Goddesses from their ever sworn lovers. The Heights of Brooklyn numbered, and were graced by some half dozen of these hospitable boards, and the scenes in and about so of them | were really so amusing, we cannot refrain from giv- | ing our readers a sketch. Atone side of a tentstood ja pee of horses and wagon, which evidently belong- ed the interior, but shortly afterwards intending to make an exploring expedition to Greenwood Ceme- tery, were ushered out by an old gentleman who was equipped in a “buzz wig, upon the top of which | was, an equilateral cocked hat. In the vehicle were pent up first the stately figure ‘of ‘* My darling Bet- ty,” not very slightly marked by small pox,and who, as the old sage remarked when his ‘* boy Tim” brought himself to an anchor by her side, could only be compared to a thorn between two roses, and con- sequently must be a rose between two thorns.— In the dickey were not less than eight boys and girls, varying in years from eighteen to fifty, who were brought up in the rear by a pair of dragoons. As greetings passed between the me bers of the social party, the word onward was given, when the baruuche, (which had evidently seen pal- s, having the remains of divers arms, We., painted on its sides,) with its ered to the word of command, smoking a and a strong contest ensued between the outriders with the battered vehiclé and broken-winded hacks, which soon left us to raminate as best we might. Honoxen.~—The houses of refreshment in Hoboken were jammed at intervals with transcient visitors, either to this city or from this to the romantic walk through the Elysian fields, and indeed we have never witnessed a more lively scene than that which presented itself along the various walks and path- ways to the Sybil’s Cave, and the large saloon still further on, at which extremity was placed, in the middle of an open space, a “Roundabout,” or pro- perly termed a **Hurdy-Gurdy,” for the use of phe! eyed demoiselles, who having pledged themselves not to indulge in the humors of Bacchus by tasting the “mountain dew,” substituted this walking cradle as their ariel bevera At the further end of the sa- loon stood a “locomotive theatre,” which furnished lots of fun for the folks who thronged that vicinity. Entombed within its walls were wonders never before offered to the community. The accom- modation was of a superior nature and the per- formance, as a matter ot course, went off in first rate style concluding with a splendid display of fireworks. Marques of all sizes and shapes were here and there spread for refreshments; in one we found an ‘old Irish Piper,” who drew a crowded and fashionable audience to listen to the plaintive notes of, (as he termed it,) his national melody, nor were the gay ones whe listened idle, for being determined to make themselves quite at ome danced several cotil- lions and humorous jigs, which was concluded bya comic pas dedeux on the part of two other mem- bers of the dance. Jersey Crry was at an early hour in the morning the scene of mirth and jolity, owing to the hun- dreds which, from all parts, crowded in the direc- tion of the ferries to cross to this city, but twelve o’clock left it as quiet and peaceable as the mansion of the departed, with the exception of what was every where apparent during the day plenty of youngsters with the usual quantity of crackers pouring from the different windows and tops of houses, &e. WititamspurGn was something similar to the last mentioned place ; gin shops, grog shops, and heel taps, where business was some hours previously the order of the day, had now auapended their labors, except one or two of the higher class, including the Williamsburgh Cottage, which aflorded a pleasant, cool and refreshing retreat for all who wended their way in that direction; delicious fruits, ice creams and beverages of every description were dealt out in many cases by_ the proprietor in rather a handsome manner; the different apartments in the house were crammed with both sexes, who were highly gratitied with the notes of the musical instruments which were, at a great expense, been got up there. Sky rockets, crackers, and all kind of minor fire amuse- ments were indulged in by the hundreds of children who collected about the different thoroughfares, and every thing seemed to pass off in great harmony. At the clone of the day the ferries were the same as the morning, thronged to excess. The upper part of the town, commencing about Union square, pre- sented a formidable array of tents of all grades. This seemed to be, if anything, the great thoroughfare of the day, and fireworks were used in abundance to bear up the festivities. In the centre of Washington square a grand display of this combustible was erected to throw a light on the darknsss which was fast spreading. The tops of houses within view, together with any other place of retirement, were filled with fashionables looking out for the ot of the day. The different saloons and coffee houses were So full, that persons were obliged to be shut out by the owners; and in one instance we saw the outer door closed against customers, the landlord declaring that he was drank as dry as the heart of a rocket.
