8 ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Grand Banquet at the Metrepelitan Hotel— Military Parade, dic , dic. Last evening, one of the most brilliant convivial re- ‘mmionz of the season came off at the Metropolitan, in hooor of that most respected sant, the patron of the Green Isle, where there are neither snakes nor toada— Saint Patrick. Though those societies composed of our Irish Roman Catholic fellow citizens did not take a pro- minent part im yesterday's festivities held in honor and remembrance of that veverated gentleman, who, accord- dog to popular tradition, Built a church in Dublia town, And on it put a steeple, ‘yet the Friendly Sons of the same saint held forth with unabated vigor, and with their accustomed lberality, wit, humor and surpassing eloquence. The compary cumbered over two hundred, and, as will be ssen by mention below, embraced a number of distinguished citi- ens, Of course there was a first rate band, which added ota little to the harmony ot the occasion, by the per- formaaee of a multitude of Irish national airs, from the olivening jig to the pinintive “‘ Lament.” ‘Thia certainly was ene of the most excellent affairs ever ot up even by the Lelands. are determined not to e second to any hou-e in the city of New York in etting up public entertainments, Tae billof fare was bundant and recherché, ims salmon, which eemed to be pecutiarly paiatable to the sons of Old Ire- land during the piesent season of comparative abstinence and was truly delicious. Of the wines we can only say that they were such aa the Lelands always provide The spacious and handsome room was appropriately festooned with the fisgs of the allied armies and the United States, mingling together im happy harmony, which, it is to be hoped, may be typical of the positions > o'd sountry and the new may ever bear towards each other. The ornamental pastry was such as one would deem it racrilege to touch; not out that it was despoilea. _ Arsengst the prominent persons preseat ware the Pre- sidenta ot the St. George, St. Andrew, S:. David, St. Nicho- las andé St. Jonathan (cr New Eogiand) Societies. Hoa. Jobn McKeon, United States District Attorney; Judge Daly, Mr. Thomas won, Henry A. Coit, Thomas Francia Meagher.

Stuart, Esq., sapported on either hand by the Presidents of the St George, St Andrew, St. Nicholas, St. David, and though last, not by any means least, the Eresident of the New Engiand, or rather St. Jonaihan ‘oriety. The company satdown at 7 o’slock to discuss a carte selected with the ni @ discrimination and careful taste which 0 much cha) asterizes the efforts of the Metropo- litan. In propesizg the first regular toast:— The ay wecelebrate, and all who honor it The Presipent then, ia a brief and humorous speech, thanked the Society for ir additional proot of coni- dence in him, in electing him again to the position of presiding officer of the Society.

It is not so much a compiiment to the indivicual who bolds that office as it isto the country whose chief Executive he is. (Great applause.) 1 feel that lam sur- rounded not only by iniabmen and by sous of Irishmen, but by those who have no [rish divod ia their veins, who all feel that they owe a duty to their country which they can never forget. (Applause’) In the present situation of the political world—-1 speak of it in its enlarged sense —the United States have a mighty mission to perform. ‘We are no longer a secondary Power. (Applause.) The im vense commercial ioterests of this country have car- ried tke industry and the name of the people of the United States into the farthest parts of the world. (Ap: plause.)

Mr. Bonne apobe in exceedingly happy terms, full of a broad pbilantaropic seutiment, and amid much applause offered this sentiment :— ‘The treedom of the United Sta‘es ia the freedom of the world, open and free toal. (Applause ) The exercises were here sgreeably broken in upon by an exceedingly humorous song from Mr. J.

I might plead thas, for I come uapre- meditated bly amongst you,tand this.is the first time I par- ticipated in this festival in New Yors, for the years of my exile 1 bave posred in the Far West. If the press is the great lever that moves the globe, the fulcrum on which that lever moves is tne freedom of the press. I presume that this company dces not rejoice to-nigh’ for Ireland as she is. but Ireland as they one day hope it willbe. We e told that in France a file ot solifers at the door of the *spaper office chokes popular opinion, which finds its yoice in the press: but in Nicaragua (by the Ieee ac- counts) a file of soldiers complied the press to apeak the opinions of the people. Butin our country the press needs no armed force to stimulate it nor permits no torze to, | it.

To the toast, ‘* The City of New York, the pride of the ‘Western world,”’ Judge Daly responded in most eloquent terms, and we exceedingly regre t thet the lateness of the hour at which the speech was delivered and the pressure uzon onr columns, prevents its publication. Eloquent addresses were made by Messrs. Tileston, O’Conor, Thompeon, O'Gorman, Dil.on and others, aad # way say teat the worthy Sons of S~. Patrick did not i! to have a good time of it, even sfter the ebair had ‘been vacated. CELEBRATION OF 8T. PATRICK'S DAY BY THE MI- LITaRy. Contrary to all expectation yesterday turned out to be ® very fine day. Warm end pleasant, and altogether unlike any St. Patrick’s day we ever remember having seen in this city. Although there wes no procession of civic societies, the turn out to witness the military pa- race, wastvery large. The park was well filled with an enthusisstic crowd who cheered the soldiery vehemently as they. fied past. Three regiments paraded— the 69th, the 71s\ and the 9th—and sitnough not as numerous as usual they all locked very well, and elicited much acmiraticn. They formed at the arsenal, marched to the park, then up Broadway to Twenty-third street, and down Bowery. Mayor Wood dia not review the ‘hoops this year, in consequence of not having reseived su invitation to do so. which he wouid have willingly ac- cepted were it profered. We heard of no accident to mar the enjoyment of the cay. During Sunday night acme maticious persons hoisted what purperted to be an effigy of Ireland’s patcon saint on top of the liberty pole ia Union Market square, with a view, no doubt. of creating adiscurbance. Some polise- aren discovered the offensive object early in the morning, ard enéravored to have it removed, but did not succerd un if a mam was employed to ascend the pole. The pro- cest‘on of the civic societies takes place oa the 24:h, and it will, no dount, be a very fine affeir. City Intelligence. £r.

The motions’ were all made by Mr. Jonerer, devated by gentlemen of the same cognonen and carrted or re. jected by their votes. indeed, the Joneses had it al their own way. A Woway Nearty Bursep To Deata.—At about half- past 10 o’clock on Monday night a ead accident took place in a tenement house, No. 18 Leonard street, caused by the upsetting of a stove, thereby setting fire to the cloth- ing of a yellow woman named Sarah Smith, the occupant of the apartment. The cour woman ran instantly into the street, with her clothing biszing over ber head. The alarm brought & number of persons to her sid, and seve- ralof the members of 54 Hose Company were quickly on hand, together with Captain Carpenter. The flames were soon extinguished, but her clothing being almost completely burnt trom her body, inflicted a fatal burning on the upper part ef her person. She was forthwith con- veyed to the New Ycrk Hospital, under the direction of Captain Carpenter. I: appears that a difficulty had oc- carred between this woman and & white man with whom she cohabited. The stove was upset in the quarrel, her clothes wok fire, she ran iato the street for assistance, and in co doing received the extensive burning. There was no Camage dene to the premiees by ‘he fire. Frar my Division Srruet.—The alarm cf fire for the Sixth Cistrict cn Monday afternoon, originated from the crocke- ry store of Mr. Charles Mwhooland, No 206 Division strest, Ivappears that Sir.

Loan $45; no insurance. Mr. MuJkooland barat ais hands badly in his endeavors to get the camphene and alcohol into the street. Forxoinc wv Yorkvittr.—A male ebild about three weeks old, was found by the police of Yorkville on Fri- day morning on the steps of a house in Fighty sixth street, occupied by some of the Sisters ot Charity, It ‘was a very pretty end interesting looking infant, and we Jearn that application has been made at the Alms house by a lady of Harlem, to adopt it.

Two unknown men, apparently Ge'mans, were taken to the station house. Taey are strangers to the people of Camden. These men were stout bullt, and appeared to be about £6 or 40 years uge. They were c resved alike wud resembled each other, and trom these facta it is interred that they are brothers, Both have on gray mixed overcoats, black satin vests, dark pan‘a and laced boo's. The clothing of both is much burned.

The Msjor before jumping threw a package of papers and money cn to a cake of ice, which he would be glad to hear from. ‘Two other bodies have heen taken to the station house. Both of the deceased are unknowa. One is a colored man, apperentiy about thirty or thirty-five years of age. He was roughly clad in a drab or gray coat and atriped shirt. The other is the body of a white man about forty years of age, evidently an Irishman. He was clad ina heavy grap or drad overcoat, with brass buttons, and black pants, and be had on a red woollen comtorter. ‘The Corover bas sinoe examined the po:kets of the two unknown men who were suppored to be Germans, and brotnery.

There was a medical prescription ed with the initials “A.C. D,,”” and also # bill ot elght doliars for meéieal atiendancn, dated in January. This bill is mace cut to M. Rhineberg by Dra.

The missing man had’ wife and vwo children living in South Camden. He was thirty-four years of age. ‘The proper neme of the stepson of Mr. Thompson, whose body was recovered this morning, ia Frederick Al- temus Thompson, aged thirteen years and six months. ‘The poor boy had gone on Fiicay to learn a trace at the establishment of Pearson & Dismond.
