is MORNING EDITION---TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1849. —= The Procession, and Dedication OF THER NEW HALL, Corner of Grand and Centre Streets. &e. &e. &e. Yesterday being the day appointed for the celebra- fen ef the solemn dedication of the Odd-Fellows’ Hall, at the junction of Grand, Centre and Orange streets, the event was looked forward to with great iaterest, both by the members and the public. The (Odd-Fellows are a very numerous body, and their eon- xions ramify through every part of the community. ‘The day was gloriously fine, though to many rather ‘warm to be pleasant. The fog and gloom which over- hheng the morning were put to flight by the radiance ef the sun, which shone out upon this grand celebra- tion suspiciously from a cloudless sky. Mudson street ‘was the place of rendezvous, and the hour appointed fer forming the procession was 11 o'clock ; but long be- fore that hour, the south end of the street andColloge Place were filled with spectators, anxious to see the im- posing pageant which was about to be exhibited. The windows were thronged with ladies éxpecting itsappear- anee. ‘The Massachusetts delegation was the first on the ground, and a‘ter filing down College Place, halted. ‘They were a. well dressed body of stalworth men, and looked exceedingly well in the regalia of their order, ‘which was of the most costly description; they num- bered about 500 strong. The delegation consisted: first, of the Massasoit Eneampment, No. 1; banner in- weribed, “By works judge us, and “Massasoit the first toextend the hand of friendship; between these mottoes was the device of the Indian Massasoit,shaking hands with William Penn; the reverse exhibited a hat, erook, spears, and a figure representing Massasoit, Seeond, ofthe Tremont Encampment, No. 2, which, by some misunderstanding, left its banner behind, Then the Massachusetts Lodge, No. 1, with a banner inseribed with the mottoe, “We command you te visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead, and edu- eate the orphans;” in the centre was the device of a female taking twe children to her breast, Fourth, Si- Joam Lodge, No. 2, which had a very tasteful banner, surmounted with @ dove bearing an olive branch, and in the centre, the pool of Siloam, with an old man be- side it, leaning on a staff; the mottoes were, “Go wash im the Pool of Siloam,” and “ usque ad aras amicus.” ‘The Pennsylvania delegation next made its appéar- ance, and also filed into College place. This was a fine body of men, numbering about 1,000. ‘There were a eonsiderable number of lodges represented by me ‘bers, who fell into the ranks of those lodges who resent in full force, We observed the Fredonia, No. 145, with its beautiful banner, and the Grand Lodge of the State of og a Abe ja, with its banner carried by negroes. The devices were Justice with scales and sword, a female figure (Charity) with one child in her arms and two standing at her knee. There were also ‘two female figures with hands joined in amity, and the bundle of sticks between them, intended to indicate unity. Commerce jandj agriculture} were represented by a shield having a rhip and plough supported by two horses rampant. The motto was—* In God we trust: Friendship, Love, and Truth.’ The color of the in- ‘ia worn by the members of the Grand Lodge was soarlet—that worn by the Grand Encampment was le. The several lodges and encampments of this city aving assembled at their respective lodge rooms at 0 oreloek, now proceeded to take their places according to theeubjoined programme. The column formed in Hud- gon street, and the several subdivisions formed in the streets running west from Hudson, excepting the fifth and sixth grand divisions, viz :-- ORDER OF PROCESSION. @b Grand Division, Weet Broadwa: ht, cammeneed with Board of Mana; of the Odd Fi " Hall Assecia- tion, and junior members of the Grand Ledge of Now Yerk, Testing on Chambers stree! oth bers at. 4 Division, College Place, right resting on Cham- ind 24 Sub-Divisions, Chambers stroot, right, ee1 1g with the junior Encampments, resting on Hu: ey ie ririslon, Denne sere rg forming with the ‘on Hudson street. 4 4th Teubs Bivision, Says Tight, forming with the junior di i Tes fabs Diviston, ‘Harriso st., right, forming with the on Hudson st. cy isto: in ot., right, forming with the Janior Testing om ‘Hudson st. 7th on virion, poy Se st, right, forming with the ‘moth Babe tion, Bench at, ight, forming withthe jualor ‘on Hudson Sth Sob-Div ino, Hubert a, ight, forming with the Junior Ledges, reeti fudson Toc bub- Division, right, forming with the Testing on Hu inior Lod: a with Bab vstont Weary righty frming with the deon’ bat SuneDivie ny Deshrosses st. right, forming with the wing 0 on at, Bor gab visi a Waite shy Hight, forming with the n Hudson st. amid Sub Divi ial st., right, forming with the junior on Tstm Sub-Divicion, Spring st., right, ferming with the Junior Lodges, resting on Hudson st. 16th Sub-Division, ton st., right, forming with the Sunior Lodges, resting on Hudson st, THE LINE OF PROCESSION. The procession having been formed according to the foregoing order, then proceeded up Hudson street to Hammond, down Hudson to Chambers, up Chambers to Broadway, down Broadway and around the Park to Chatham, up Chatham and the Bowery, and around Union Paik to Broadway; down Broadway to Grand and through Grand to Orange, where the line halted and opened to the right and left, close order. Tho Grand Marshal and his two Aids then passed between the lines to the extreme left; returning, followed by the Committee of Arrangements, the Orator and Chap- lain; the Past Grand Masters and Elective Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge of New York; Past Grand Sires, Grand Officers, and Membors of the Grand Lodge of the United States; Grand Represen- tatives, Appointed Officers. and Members of the Grand Lodge of New York; Board of Managers of Odd Fellows’ Hall Association; Visiting Grand and Subordinate Lodges; the Offieers and Members of the Grand Encamp- ied ‘and Subordinate;Eneampments and Lodges—and proceeded to the corner of Grand and Orange streets. ‘This was truly a magnificent sight. Here were men Marshalled, not for purposes of war, not to destroy men’s lives, but to eave—marshalled in peaceful array, in @ brotherhood of friendship and mutual sustaii ment. Asthey moved down Broadway, the line ex- ‘tended as far ds the eye ovuld see, and from thecalcula- tion made ofthe time occupied passing the Park, which ‘was sbout three quarters of an hour, we estimated the numbers at between five and six thousand, inde- pendently of the immenso mass of human beings who ‘accompanied the procession, An Odd-Fellow, however, who states he actually counted the numbers, has fur- nished us with the following. taken from the corner of Chatham and James streets: — Horsemen, & sees .

The emblems of the Grand Lodge of the State of New ‘York were drawn ona richly decorated chariot, by eight herses—on which sat some orphans, including a pretty Little girl, ten years of age. ‘The officers of the Grand Lodge occupied a tent- shaped car, the awning consisting of alternate stripes of blue, white, and crimsen. It was gracefully fos- tooned, and was drawn by eight horses. Mr Kennedy. Past Grand Sire, and President of the Odd Fellows’ Hall Association, who seemed to direct all the movements, had 9 seat in this wagen. The Grand Encampment of the State of New York was n high car, resembling a pavilion. The upper part Zonvisted of crape, trimmed with velvet and gold, and with orange and black feathers.

A body of pollee, under the charge of Constable Bar- ber, whore citiciency in preserving order was most marked upon this interesting oceasion, had possession of the Hall from an early hour 4 shortly before the prorsession arrived, chnins were thrown across the several streets leading to the building, to keep off the of the crowd, This edifice is, perhaps, the greatest ornament of our city.

G. Master—Such is my will and pleasare. Rev. Brother Winslow then offered up the dedicatory prayer. P. G Sire Jonx A. Kexwepr, President of the Odd- Feliows’ Hall Association, t Hall to the G. Master for the objects which prompted its ereetion. He said — jost Worthy Grand Master:—We meet you here to- day,to announce through you tothe Order, that our work isdone. Since the fireteffort wasmade for the erection of this edifice, thirteen years have passed away, them not # few of those spirits who engaged the enterprise with alacrity, During much period, progress was #0 tardy, and eventual success Spparently so uncertain, that many of our most ar- dent friends despaired; while those who chose to #p- oe the prosperity of ‘our beloved order, audibly re- joleed. “To-day, our relative positions are changed it it now our privilege to experience the pleasures of gra tification, and have our hearts dilated with gladness, while those who have imprudently impeded this work, with industry and zeal. lie buried beneath the heap of obstructions they had, with sueh labor, gathered for another use, Two years ago this day, the erection of our temple was formally commenced, under aus- pices not so favorable as its friends’ eould have desired, But their hope was large; their eon- fidence’ in being sustained by their brother. hood was great ; ng have they been disappointed The Order came forward with vigor, and furnished the needful subscription to such extent that but a few hun- dred shares remain untaken, and these, they have roa- son to expect, will be speedily subseribed for. It is not the business of the management to allude to their own labors, nor the manner in which they have been per- formed; nor would good taste permit them to descant on the fitness of our edifice for the sacred purposes to which it is designed. 18 is capable of speaking for it- self, through its proportions and its style; if these fail to impress you, any words of rxine would prove less than urelese. I have only to repeat: “Our work is done;” and in behalf of “The Odd Fellows’ Hall Association of the city of New York,” I make the request that the building be set apart and dedicated to the business and purposes of Odd Fellowship. . The Grand Master ther accepted the proffer in the name of the Order, in the following terms:— Mr. President of the Odd Fellows’ Hall Association: ~-In the name of, and in the behalf of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the State of New York, | accept for dedication to the uses of Odd Fellowshtp, this edifae, which has been eonstructed under your supervision. To you and your associates, the managers of that corpora. tion, the present must be an oceasion especially grati- fying. To-day, you witness the eonsummation of that for which youhave long and ardently hoped. To-day you hail the completion of that for which you have zealously and faithfully labored—and to-day you be- hold the recognition by your brethren from the North, the South, the East and theWest, of this, the result of your efforts, as a temple devoted to the service of those whose vocation it is to“vieit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead, educate the orphan,”—da- ties which neither interfere with nor supersede the discharge of any others, social, moral, or religious. [He then addressed the M. W. Grand Sire of the United States, as tollows:— Most Worthy Grand Sire.:—This assembly of Bro thers of the 1. U. of O. F., having been especially con- yened by authority of the R. W. Grand Lodge of the State of New York, for the purpose of dedicating and eoneccrating this Hall to the charitable and humane objects of Oca ellowatlp, we solicit your aid in the ceremonial, as that of the chief officer of the body whose decisions we regard as law, and whose authority we are proud to acknowledge ss supreme in the Order. G. Sire Horw R. Kneass then assumed the task of de- dication, and delivered the following address :— Most Worthy Grand Masters:—In taking part in the inspiring ceremonies of this day. permit me to tender my cordial thanks fer the gratification thus afforded to me. by yourself and the distinguished lodge over whose deliberations you #0 ably preside. An occasion like the present is at all times interesting. The preparation of @ permanent home for any portion of our numerous brotherhood is calculated to iuspire ble emotions; but ELiacges joyous is it, when that home is to suppl the wants of,and yield eomforts to, so many as wi here enjoy its soothing influences. We behold, in this vast metropolis of the on ee State of the Ame- rican Union, a hall, commodious, beautiful, magnificent, whose ve Jabs pobre indicate the character of theen- terprise of the Association by which it was eonstruct- ed—whose diversified architecture evine je re- fined taste of those by whom it was tashioned— whore general internal decoration displays the munifi- cence of its owners—and whose very construction,while it has given to New York one of its most attractive or- naments, at the same time attests the attachment of our fraternity here to the principles of our institution. But well adapted and superb'as this soagh pile surely is, | can regard it but as a medium throt which can be felt that effective spirit which prom its design, and insured its completion—e spirit which, bounding over all intervening obstacles, has thus happily mani- feated itself. In this locality, but afew short years ag our brotherhood, in common with all associations whose doings were not revealed to the public eye, was sub- jected to attack, and its members te contumely and scorn; but it fell ngt before the ruthless aseault. The duration of roseription was but the period of its probation. From that season of gloom it emerged, purified and strengthened. The events which were then stimulated, and caused so much tribulation to the nervoys admirer of our embodied principles, but which served only to arouse and cement the stout-hearted friends of our or- der, now are amongst the things that were—treasured in the memory as 20 many touchstones to illustrate the sincerity and value of our union. If thus once tempo- rarily overshadowed in this immediate region, the ob- ecuration was not unfelt in other portions of our far- stretching republic, and the efforts elsewhere were identical with those experienced by yourselves, In- stead, then, of looking back, with emotions of regret, to the trials to which we were then exposed, we can re~ vert to them with a calm satisfaction, derivable from a consciousness of their happy issues. How changed is now the condition of our institution! Apprehension and doubt have been dispelled—the wavering have be- come firm, and the steady have continued unmoved. — Ourinstitution now extends over this vast country, and whether flourishing ina etn omen commonwealth, or in aremote territory—whether amid cities, whose foundations were laid before the electric spark of libe» ty quickened the American people into a nation, or upon a soil but recently brought within the protection of the American ensign—it enjoys no common respect. It embraces within its membership, citizens of educa- tion, virtue and wisdom. Towns are improved by its presence, and villages smile under its benign influences, Go where you may, through the vast area of our land, where man’s habitation can be found, and the voice of the Odd Fellow will be heard, soothing and consoling affliction, cheering the heavy laden, and imparting hope and cons:lation wherever they may be needed.— Indeed, #0 promotive of human comfort, so essential to human happiness is it, that man, in his roaming through the uatamed wilds of our distant confinos, scarce meets his fellow-man, without contemplating the means required to constitute a lodge But by the boundaries of our own extended country our institu- tion {4 not cireumecribed, any more than‘the cardinal virtues of the nature of which the human kind alike | partake can be limited by metes and bounds. They manifest themselves, and expand wherever intellectual | invited and encouraged. Indeed, wherev: mind has most dominion, there are t! ly, moet effectively unfolde nally | from transatlantic shores, the light has been reflected with additional warmth and lustre u; the mother soil, and now also from the eame bright flame is vivi- fying the islands of the Pacific ocean. Chae ae from the past—that unerring eriterion—who can f). _.#e th extent of our order's bearing in a few years to come? — Its scope, adapted to our entire race, will never be des filled while any portion of man {sunobservant of it. Its | juenee must be pi and where’ er 5°, one fountain of authority, the Grand L. United States, of the 1.0. of O.F., by which matter where residing, must be ind. To that e: alted body do we ever turn with respect and confi. dence. composed of representatives of an onlightened ond immense constituency, a6 well as those who have served in the highest offices known to our lawe—all of whom, no matter how great their experi- ence or elevated their positions, must still be in eon- nection with a lodge cl iming as its integral parts mem- bers of all ages im our order. Possessing an organiza- tion unlike any other association, we with sub- mission to its decrees, and lend whatever energies we can centrol to their full enforcement. And that au- thority which has been recognised from the perlod of the formation of our supreme council—which has em- ployed itself in dispensing the inestimable blessings thatfour teachings insure—whose developement, but a quarter of = century since, was beheld only by a few in a few cities on our seal nd has continued to show iteelf of the same character from that time to the pre- rent, is based upon the affections of our brotherhood.

The Graxp Secnetany then read the certificate of dedication, which was attested by the Grand officers, The following ode, by Bre. D. P.

The evening “ exercises” bead anes at eight o'clock, in Castle Garden. The attendance was numerour, and the round room was as well lighted up as its ex- tent and the number of lights would permit. The first entertainment consisted of an orerture by the orches- tra, performed very creditably. The second was an ode sung by Mr. Austin Phillips and assistants, The third was an overture by the orchestra. The fourth, was, THE ORATION BY C. EDWARDS LESTER.

Man needed a closer acquaintance with man, the world over. For these hallowed purposes our order sprang into life, and its course has been eheered by the sunny smiles of Cimcige) by the consciousness of duty, and by the blessing of God. Let me, in passing, correct @ impression, not uncommon:—Odd Fel- lowehip never was, and never can be, hostile to Chris- tianity, for it is founded on its it law of love.— It never assailed the chureh, for clergymen, and good men of all denominations, swell eur numbers. But it has been aseuiled, either because it was not un- derstood, or from @ still worse motive. We lay claim to none of the rights or privileges of a divine institution; we assume none of the prerogatives of the priesthoos we invade none of the ordinances of religion; we cele- brate none of its mysteries; we impose no religious ereed on the-conscience; we do not even claim to be an institution of charity; we only attempt to do our duty to one auother. Truc, we admit no one to our order who does not believe in an Almighty and Beneficent Father of the unive: who does not recognise the law of the Savioar, “ whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also unto them,” to be the only true or safe guide of life. True, when we come together, we sing anthems of eongratulation, aud w invoke the benediction of He: , tl all we do may be conformed to the law of love. Butjwho will say that the glad and joyous heart may not pour forth {ts ful- nese im music; or that in a world on which the tears of the Son of Man have fallen, the erring, misguided, suffering child of earth may not turn his eye up to the blue heavens, and | ma the bless. tug of his Father? only aim to do to eaeh other what the good Samaritan did to the wound- ed and robbed wayfarer, whom the Levite apd the Priest passed by on the other side.

To accomplish these objects, our order wasfounded. Men, , feeble, benighted, lost, needed something more done for him; priesthoods had invented a thou- sand reli; with mystic emblemsand solemn rituals; pbeon had th and learning had studied for ages. ‘arts of taste had grown to perfection; heroes had won crowns of Vietory- empires, republics, arts, | and religions had risen and gone to decay—but man | was the same suffering, misguided, unhelped being still. Could nothing effectual be done to illumine and elevate 40 noble a creature, enie Cy lenis bere! ments—st ing, lenging, thirsting, » dying: for bread, light, hope, pi imm< ity! "ust he on, ever on, along the of that vast ocean wi rolls round the world, famishing for the bread of life, sighing for some new bark to bear him to climes he never , and an Elysium he had not yet found? Odd Fellowship heard the si; and sent back its re- sponse—* No! generous, hoping, sighing, suffering, sa- cred brother, help and light are coming! The day of thy redemption {s breaking. I see the herald beams Date on the eastern sky!” Such were the wants— such the exigencies—that breught up our institution, Tt has with incredible progress. It is because the world needed it—because it has answered the de- mands of the age. It must continue to do so, if it would live, as the age ischanging every hour. The life of a single generation is # longer period now than was once the life of an empire. Time is no longer to be measured by the successive vibrations of the pendulum, but by succession of ideas; not by hours, but by events; not by moments even, but id revolutions. Time isno more marked by the sun-dial or the hour-glass, but by strokes of the engine, and flashes of the telegraph! Less than a century ago, France required fifteen years to dethrone a monarch; now she does it ina day! The morning dream of Louis Philippe. in the gilded cham- ber of Louis Quartorse, is broken by the march of a re- volution. He rises and orders out his body-guard to shoot down the mob, You know the rest. The sha- dows of the same evening close around his aged head, rocking in a fisherman’s bdat on the bleak bosom of the Atlantic, and the mounting sun-beams of the next morning shone on Lamartine’s Republic! Odd Fel- lowship now finds itself in an electric age—and it must become an electric institution, An institution, to be perpetual, must mect the varying exigencies, and swer the varying demands of the successive through which it travels. In its incipiont stagos, our Order was chiefly occupied in ministering to the physi- cal wants of man—tending the couch of languishment j_Tislling the prisoner in his cell, the widow in her tears, and the fatherless in their orphana; id these noble objects must continue to engage its attention; not one of there duties must ever be forgotten. But Odd Fellowship is ing its eye over a wider fleld. It begins toask, what is its businecs with the minds of men! While it cares for the body, it begins to feel that it must minister to the wants, the woos, the aspi- rations and the progress of the soul; that the spint is not for a day, nor, like the verse of Shakspeare, for all time. It spreads its wing over tho battlements of the invisible world, It leaps the life to come! It begins to feel that the body of man is sacred, and instead of leaving the torm that will one day put on immortalit; to rot in a foul vault or in a crowded city churchyard, where the dead touch one another, in a few days to be torn up by some Vandal hand, rural cemeteries are be- ing everywhere founded in the still country, where the loved and the lost are laid to rest amidst the flowers which shed their perfume, and the birds who pour out their requiem anthem over the slceper’s pillow. Thank heaven that foul charnel-houses are giving place to green gardens for the dead! Odd Fellowship begins to feel it is a more sacred, @ more imperious duty, to cheapen science than to cheapen bread; for there {3 « sadder spectacle than aman dying from hunger: it isa soul famishing for the bread of life, Hence, in every part of the land, athenswums, libraries and reading-rooms gre being founded, where six hours work gives the laboring man intellectual food—aliment for the soul for 300 da: It has alwas been one of our prescribed duties to edu. eate the orphan, and the duty has beem done, But it must be dene more effectually. Orphan sehools ought to be founded by every lodge; and till it is done, even Odd Fellows themselves cannot measure the agency their order can wield in the destiny of men. The schoolmaster has left the university, and gone abread ugh the world. He is in Labrador, in Oregon, in onia, and in the distant islands of the South Sea, He has sailed up the Golden Horn—he has passed the Pyramids. Brothers, we must widen the sphere of our eneficence, We are in an intellectual, a thinking age, and we must hereafter do for the minds of men, what, in our fecbleness, was once did only for their bodies. nin the political moral firmament betokens nd peed hope. The whole world is in wand the whole world is new and a better day for mankind ii ing. Religion, which in all its forms seems destined to prove the blessing or the blight of man, has begun to interest itself with the life of the world—with our hearts—our homes—our every day occupations, The monk is leaving the cloister, and the nun her conven’ to mingle with the warm life and earnest struggles o! man; and as they turn thelr backs on the tall eypresses, which for centuries held their steady moan over those sepulchres of the buried alive. they feel the undu- fidbas of the new age. The age of scholastic theology, of mystic rites, of monkish rituals, of besotting and enslaving priestcraft, bas gone by—and it will return no more! Ana who would roll our car of progress back again into the misty shadows of those my ages? Would you rebuild the Pyramids? ter has been in Egypt, and the sovereign, who now rules over the Nile, puts an hundred thou- sand men to building tb be and canals across the isthmus,and the shrill whistle of the engine is echoing around the tops of the sky reaching Pyramids. Would you again launch five million Crusaders on the plains of Asia? Men have done looking for hope to the East. Westward the star of empire takes its way! Would yon send s powerful German emperor, onco more, barefooted to the gates of the Vatican, to be rdoned by ® pope? There is no longer a pope in the /utican to pardon him, nor a German emperor to send there. Would you Ee oie the dungeons of the inqui- sition, or chain again God's glorious revelation to the altar, or light once more the martyr fires of Smithfield? Ah! '©Go bea dog. and bay the moon,” but bring us no more things like these. It cannot be done. Four centuries ago, the monk’s pen produced one illumi- nated Bible during « life time. Then the priest thought for the “Feons When that blessed book is thrown off by the Titan arm of steam, men will do their own thinking and make their own creeds.

The tide of battle in Europe. be- tween liberty and despotism—between the old and the new age—between the past and the future—may ebb and flow; but it is a struggle for principle, and o struggle for principle is a stronger and steadier one than the struggle for bread. Thero is no danger like that of trying to scourge the newly emancipated spirit back to its prison house. It is the fr@zy of madness for governments, with the wrong all on their side, to attempt, by eannon and troop of the line,’ to arrest the avalanche rush of millions towards their rights. Over such frail barriers the tread of the multitude is like the march of the storm. it is not always that nine-tenths of mankind are to om that the remaining fraction may die of Fquality among ail classes is the goal for which the world is marching, and it will reach it, What tumalts and chaos and blood lie between them and it, no man can tell, But if needs be, through theeo it must be reached, through them it will pass— and armed with the Almighty’s decree, press enslaved ‘to freedom. How fast or how slow is to be its "“none but. the God of Nations can tell, We only hear the mighty tread of the advancing mul tude, We only know that it is a part of the Almighty’s jan to bring the world back to eompetence and i nd every government and institution that doe into the movement must be overthrown, Vainer than «dream is the expectation of arrestin this onwari movement of the race.

At e party that I was in, vited to, but did not accept, there was a gentleman from St. —— and he did not seem to think the travel- ling impassable; but then ho was not, from description, either withered in heart or cold in blood —do not blame me because I feel injured; you have wounded me most dveply—it seemed to me that you embraced the first moment of your absence to show me how cold and indifferent you could write, when { had written so differently; but I will not refer to this disagreeable subject longer, believing that you will not tany more give me such anxiety, and not prolong your stay. You must come as soon as you get this, oF Indeed, you ran me any more.
