FIREWORKS IN THE PARK—ACCIDENTS—INCIDENTS, &e., &e., INAUGURATION OF THE WASHINGTON STATUE. For some time past mysterious movements have been going forward in Union Square, in the corer between Broadway and Fact Fonrtcenth street. Their result was the creation of Mr, Henry K. Brown's equestrian statue of Washington, whicl was duly inaugurated on the morn ing of the Fourth The weather was not so propitions as the day, and at balf-past cight, A. M., the hour for unveiling the statue, Pain was falling in considerable quantitic This, how- ever, did not deter large Bumbers of citizens from visiting @he scene of operations. and quite a large crowd cullect ed.

As usual, the men of war were late on the ground, prnctuality, it seems, not being con- sidered a military virtue by the militie. We may ex. Cept from this the cavalry corps attathed to Uae Seventh Regiment, and called the Washington Greys. The Twellth Regiment next appeared, and was followed b. im the Seventh, o great deal bebind time. Tho music ‘was furnisbed by Dodworth and the band of the Seventh. ‘The line was furmtd in the shape of an equilateral tri- fngle. The speaker's stand near Union park formed the base, while the cavalry and the Twelfth and Seventh Tegiments, ou Fourth avenue and Eourteenth streets, formed the sides, Tho statue occupied the ceatre. At about quarter past 9 o’cleck the covering was re- Moved, and the statue was bailed with the most enthu- giastic cheers by the crowd, which had now increased 60 as to cover every available pot from which a view of the ceremony couli be Had, The bands played “ Hail Columbia’'—the ladies waved their handkereliefs—the troops preseuted avms—the poople generally uncovered their heads, and gave vent to their enthusiasm in toud and long continued cheering. The scene was a most in- spiriting one. Colone!-Lee then advanced to the speaker's stand, and on the part of the Committee of Arrangements invited the Rev. Geo. W. Bethune, D. D., to address the assem- Dlage. Mr. Reracye was introduced by Hamilton Fish, Cuited States Seuator from thi: State. The reverend gentleman Bpoke as follows: — ‘The work is done.

Thus vividly feminded of him amidet the associations of this day—the anniversary of ovr chuntry’s birth—it becomes us to meditate with adoring thanks on the wise gvodnoss of God in the gift of Washington. The value of that gift can not be over estimated, bostowed as it was at the very outeet of our national existence.

The power of the rest ceased with their lifetime, if it lasted so long. Not to cite less though familiar exemplitications, measure by their consequences bis career with those of the two next to him most remarkable in the annals of the world, and Napoleon. For the former the infatuated of the crown prepared the way. The masses from despotic instinct of self-preservation and rey liad Hung thenselves on the king, crushed him to death, driven away bis arrogant nobles, and overturned the altars whose ministers had been’ too willing to oppress by his arm. But, used toa master, unilt by reason or faith to rule themselyes, they broke up into a wild chaos of parties, sects aad robber bands, demagogues eager after spoil, preachers blaspheming the Saviour in sipetnaries of peace with cries for the sword of Gideon” aud gun powder, brawling hypocrites of funa- ticisms they despised, all’ threatening mutual and com- mou annihilation, when an iron will backed by brute force lifted itself above the tumult to be their protector from themselycs by usurping a sterner despotisin than that they had thrown off. Cromwell did rule them, and with vast ability; holding tueir factions apart, yet com. them to do his bidding, vancuishing their enemies and land, vindicating their place in Europe, stimu luting their trades. enlarging their commerce and tihing ury. But Cromwell ruled alone. Their par lament was a mockery, their councils a farce, their commonwealth a lie, their laws, strong as chains to them, were straw to bim; nay, their very religion be eldom an artifice of his bold exnning. re ny good men in England at that time; the Chris- urch recokons not a few of them among her choicest jewels; there were many wise, sound, generous patriots, whose reasovings remain amony the finest in our language; there was still a sturdy, uncorrupted Saxon yeomanry. ‘The opportinity and tlie subordinates were ready for a gevuine reformation—an elevation of the people by their own latent forces. But such was not his plan nor hix wish, Whatever excuse may be oifered him, he was an autocrat. [le depressed the poor, the faithful. the independent.

The genius ot Napoleon was stupendous, and none can doubt that he could, dad he chosen, have opened for ce 0 path to freedom and popular dignity. Nor may we deny that he did very much for ber militar: ress and internal economy. But from the first bent of bis own aggrandisement, he gliutty bartered for the bauble of crown the grandest fame ever within the reach of a ropean. He lived, conquered, governed only for himself. The laurelied wreathed N was on Code and Museum, School and Bourse, Library and Tribunal. He invoked “the glory of France,” as he gilded thh dome of the Invalides, to cajol a in, incon. stant people; but the palpable expr vm Of that glory, crowned her tallest column was himself, bocted and’ Spurred, with cocked hat never lifted even in courtesy to the multitude. Abundant proofs of his Titanic strength must long remain for the wonder of the world: vnd the magic of fis name as given it a second inves titure of empire in a doubtful scion of his race, more wstute than be.

There were influences tending to both more than a century old. Never was there a people so educated by Providence, or situated 80 from bad forms of government. The peculiar ditfieulties of their agricultural or marine life had toughened their sinews of mind and body, while its pri- mitive pheity had purged from their thoughts the authe of prec ned by Serip- ture and common sense. There liad been brave, deep thinking men before the crisis came, preparing by their solemn voices in the wilderness fur the advent.of a new dispensation; but, when remorseless tyranny had sown its dragon teeth: in the soil, there sprang up a band of Jatriots, armed with a wisdom, courage aud honesty such | Providence only could call forth. I need aot their names—they are written deep in our cs. But, clearly as they shone through the twi- our morning, there Was needed a central.sun to Lold them in their orbits; and Washington arozo. His mild *all pervading influences were radiated by a beort that was first good, then great, Issuing from a vir- tue without warp of selfiehness, prejudice or fear, the ines never crowed, because all were straight; and there was hone ob-cure or notable, ignotaut or philosophical, but felt the superior attraction, Whatever offices in the body God assigned to others, Washington was the soul, and the iife of that soul wastruth.

There was a farther bounty of God in his gift of Washington. By a uatural habit of sense, we fondly as sociate visible beauty and proportion with spiritual ex cellence: but the effects of sin Tare heen 20 deforming, that we are often disappointed in the physica! accidents {those we love or venerate; and we lose much by the ointment, It is not so with Washington.

Not intending to anticipate the critical opiaions which will be showered upon Mr. Brown's work, we may say that it ts a grest ornament to the finest portion of the Em pire city, aud that its general cffect is highly impressive, It is, we hope, the commencement of the good work of Dewuts!y mE Our great metropolis, the people of which are fond of artand willing to encourage it, The inaugura- tion, with the exception of the military part, was nicely done.

SCENE IN THE PARK, The day was appropriately wound up by a grand exhi bition of dreworks iv th Jo rk aad other public squares throughout the city, These excited a lively interest, aud were attended by vast crowds of people. ‘The ecene im the Park surpassed anythog ever before witnessed in New York in the way of a public gathering, There bave been monster mass mecting beld, and vera. cious reporters have informed the public that twenty thousand people would, not comprehend the sumber drawn forta on euch occasions.
