All the regular steamers which land here sent ashore a few, but the excursion steamers Nupha New Champion, Adelphi and Olyphant were relieved of the largest number, The intense heat was a great @rawback and interfered seriously with the proces- ton, which would have undoubtedly been large had itnot been for the fact thatat the time it was to move the mercury in the “thermometer marked one hundred degrees in the shade, But very few there- fore marched in line.

The anniversary of American independence has been observed in Boston to-day on an extensive scale. The city has been full of strangers, and every feature of the celebration under the auspices of the city gov- ernment has passed of pleasantly and satis- factorily, notwithstanding the oppressive heat of the weather. The various public and many private buildings were gally decorated, and after 4 morning concert on the Common there came in regular succession @ procession com, prising nearly all the firemen in the city, a miliary parade and civil procession, all of monster dimen- sions. Entertainments for the children were pro- ‘vided in the public halls in different sections of the city, and at about noon there were exercises in the Mustc Hall, consisting chiefly of vocal and instru- mental music, and an oration by Dr. Samuel Elliot en the subject of the “History and Progress of Bos- ton.” ‘The great interest of the day, however, was cen- tred in the rowing regattas, which took place on Charles river. Some of the most noted boatmen in the country were among the competitors, and there ‘were thousands of spectators all the shore and crowding the steamers and oer craft in the stream to witness the various races. The first race was for stgle scull wherries, distance two miles, for prizes of $100 and $60.

The Ward Brothers crew comprised Josh Ward. bow; Ellis mae Ward, Charlie for st fired one of the Harvard crew broke an oar on the first or second pull, and by order of the judges the com- petitors were called back and ‘a new start given. After the Harvard had remedied their accident, in the second the Ward crew and the farvards shot ahead of the St. John’s rowers, and it was at once ap} nt that the struggle was to be mainly between the two crews first named. Toward the upper stake boat the Wards crept ahead and turned, and came down first, followed successively by the Harvard and St. John’s crews. The time of the Wards was 19 minutes 19%; seconds; of the Har- vard, 19 minutes 4534 seconds, and of the St. John’s, 20 minutes 20 seconde. The fourtn and last boat race was for four-oared boats, distance three miles, for es of $200 and $75. Although ther had been eight entries made, only three crews appeared, and these were the George Roaher, of Boston, comprising A. Gallagher, stroke; P. Regan, M. Foley and G, ikner, bow; the O. V. Bunting crew, of Boston, comprising T. Cleary, stroker; T. Scanlan, T. Owens and J. McShef- frey, bow; and the Ward Brothers crew, of Cornwall, N. Y., comprising Jashua Ward, bow; Gilbert Ward, Henry Ward and Charlies Ward, stroke, All the crews ot off in even style, and, so far as the spectators and judges at the lower boat could judge, there was but little difference after they hi from view. However, there was a struggle between the Bunting crew and the Wards, and at the upper stake the struggle was so flerce that the Wards believed the Buntings fouled them, and they tnerefore allowed themselves to fall behind and come down leisurely, The Roahers came in first, in 22 minutes 7}¢ seconds, and the Buntings second, in 22 minutes 30 seconds, and as the foul claimed by the Wards was not allowed, the prizes were awarded according to the order in which the boats came in. Next to the rowing regattas the feature which at- tracted the most interest and the largest crowds was the submarine race between Boston and East Boston. The contestants were George Phillips, five ears a diver; William Lloyd, ten years a diver, and facob Palmer, five years a diver. The distance walked was about two thousand one hundred feet, and from the time of sinking under the surface at the starting point to the rising point at the terminus ‘was accomplished by Phillips in seventeen minutes, Lioyd in eighteen minutes and Palmer in twenty-one minutes. The prizes of $75, $50 and $25 were awarded accordingly. THE YACHT REGATTA, The sailing regatta toek place in the harbor, and as a whole was a success. The wind was light and very variable, and the time made in no manner shows the comparative sailing qualities of the yachts that participated. The freaks of the wind were pe- culiar, and during the race several of the yachts were tobe seen drifting with the tide ina dead calm, white others not half a dozen rods off were enjoying @ cheerful breeze, The entries were numerous, and included some of the fastest yachts in Boston. The first class embraced two pllot boais—the Edwin Forrest and Phantom—the yacht Juniata, which won the frst prize for eentre-boards at the regatia of the Boston Yacht Club’ one week ago, and the filgrim, which is also a centre-board and a handsome craft. Among the judges was Dexter H. Follett, commodore of the Boston Yacht Fleet, and his trim yacht, the Nettie, which was gally decorated, was at the service of the judges. The occasion was one of much pleasure, especially in the cabin of the Nettie. The regatta was by thousands, who crowded a dozen or more large steamers which cruised among the isianda of the harbor. Each steamer contained a band of music, whose inspiring strains were wafted to the ravished ear from all quarters. There were twelve rizes—four for each class. Siver pitchers of the value of $100, $75 and $50 for the centre-board and keel yachts of euc! Geom the second prizes being sets of colors. Of the Phantom the second Yor keel boats; the Pilgrim, by allowance for difference of length, the first and the e Twenty-eighth regiment, was prostrated by the was class the win Foi it took the first prize and the Juniata the second prize for centre-boards. In the second for second class yachts, the stoop Columbia took the first and the sloop Lizzie Ella the second prize for keels; the sloop Napoleon the first and the sloop Clytie the second prize for centreboards. In the third olass the Minnehaha and Eclipse (sloop) won the first and second prizes for keels, and the Fannie, of Wareham, and Secret, of Weymouth, the first and second prizes on centre- boards. The Fannie and Clytie were modelled by a blind man and have never been beaten. Both won first prizes at the last Boston Yacht Club regatta. The demonstrations of the day ended with a blaze of fireworks on the Common, The Day at Buflal Burrano, N. Y., July 4, 1868, ‘There was ne general celebration of the Fourth in this city. The usual national salutes, popping of small arms, &c., throughout the day, the parade and review of two regtments and the display of freworks at night constituted the day’s programme. The townspeople, as a general rule, left the city for various points, where picnics where held in adjoin- ing localities, and the visitors from the country took possession of the streets and shores, which were crowded during the entire day.

THE SCHUETZENFEST. ‘The Repert of the Killing of Mulhern Contra- dicted—No Interruption Yesterday Morning— Immense Crowds—New Prizes and Names of the Winners, - In respect to the reported killing of Mulhern, near Seventy-ninth street and avenue A, by a stray bullet from the Schuetzenfest, a somewhat more agreeable Version is now told. It was stated yesterday morning to the committee that at the examination of the body Jast night no wound whatever could be found, and that it was evident the man died of sunstroke. It is to be hoped that this statement may prove to be true, in order to exonerate the committee in charge of the arrangements on the shooting ground, from the blame of having carelessly exposed human life to needless danger. ‘The shooting commenced yesterday morning punc- tually at seven o’clock, all the changes as suggested by the visit of Superintendent Kennedy the previous night having been made. It was very brisk during the whole forenoon, each one being seemingly in haste to make up for the time lost by the police interven- tion the day before. The following received gold medals yesterday forenoon:—Edward Brehm, Hudson City; Wm. Giese, Cincinnati, Ohio; Joseph Roehm, Philadelphia; Albert Kneesy, New York city; and silver medals were awarded to G, Jam, New York city, Emil Berger, New York City, and C.

After having partaken of the banquet General Sigel spoke in honor of the national holiday and drank the health of the guests, to which Mr. Schultze responded. General Sigel said:—We are sorry this banquet is not what we intended it to be and what it should- have pete yah here the representatives and some ken of remembrances to this great national day. Ina measure this is owing to the political ex- citement now existing. I am now eighteen years an inhabitant of this country, and I, a8 a representa- tive of the foreign element and as a member of the Schuetzenbund, haii this country for the blessing it offers to the liberty of man. I cannot let pass this opportunity to express my sentiments in the name of all the benefictaries—May this country live forever, may this country prosper, may progress lead it to prosperity. Afler which Superintendent Kennedy arose and said he would not refrain answering the flattering remarks made to him as the represenfatiue of the city authorities. He never was in the habit of making speeches, and did not wish these remarks of his to made public. He remarked, further, that he had no reputution of being too kind towards the genera) gatherings; but in this case he had done all in his power and showed his good dis- position towards the enterprise, being con- vinced of the wholesome these ther had upon the ge bile fa particularly with a view to other nationalities.

A most brutal and cold blooded murder was perpe- trated in the Sixth precinct about aix o'clock last evening, From what can be learned in relation to the affair it seems that a man named John Rilands, while passing through Baxter street, was stabbed by an Italian, whose name is Donato Magaldo, and killed almost instantly, No cause has been assigned for the ‘act. A8 800n as the man committed the dreadful deed a number of people who were witnesses of the trans- action set up a cry of alarm and officer Mooney, of the Sixth precinct, was attracted by the outcries. ‘The officer immediately made an attempt to arrest the man pointed out when the Italian, who still held ssession of the knife with which he stabbed lands, made for the officer, but fortunately a blow brought the fellow to a standstill. He again made the attempt, when a pistol shot was fired at him. By this time officer Short came up, and with some Beare of difficulty the man was se- cured. Magaldo is a hard, desperate looking char- acter, apparently about thirty years of age. He speaks very little English. It is said he is a laborer and works in a blacksmith shop in Williams- burg. The man was been killed has been a shoemaker. and resided at No, 23 Roosevelt street. Notwithstanding that a number of people who were witnesses of the act were sues paet by Captain Jourdan in relation to the ir no informa- tion could be elicrted that could lead to the belief that any altercation took place between the parties pera to the blow which deprived Rilands of his life, The only information obtained has been that deceased was passing through Baxter street and the prisoner came up to him, drew a large dirk knife, about eight inches tn length, and plunged it into the back of his victim. The knife entered immediately below the shoulder bone and, it is thought, struck the heart, Magaldo lives at 35 Mul- berry street. The news of the murder spread rapidly and the people in the _neighbor- hood were intensely excited at the information. Deceased is spoken of as a very inoffensive man, an the dastardly act which deprived him of his hfe was the subject of much comment last evening in the neighborhood of the Sixth precinct station house. An inquest will be held upon the poay of the mur- dered man to-day. In the meantime the prisoner is. locked up in the Sixth precinct station house. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DEADLY ASSAULT ON AN OFFICER.—On Friday night Frederick Kerwin, a newspaper dealer, living at No. 68 Bayard street, was C..v.derly in the street, when officer Mooney, of the Sixth precinct, ordered him to be quiet or go home.

Almost all the New York artists are now out of town. The exhibition of the National Academy of Design is closed. Mr. Frye has carried ‘The Old Oaken Bucket’ of Jerome Thompson to Boston, where it will doubtless be as successful as it has been here. Bencke’s fine chromo of it has met with a large sale. Kaulbach’s “Era of the Reformation” and Pau- welt’s “Emancipation” and Kaufmann’s ‘Columbus at Salamanca” are still on exhibition—the first at Somerville’s Art Gallery, the second at Leeds’ Art Gallery, and the third at Schaus’ Art Gallery. Schaus exhibits also a fine photographic copy of Kaulbach’s grand cartoon. The principal new paint- ings at Schaus’ are ‘Pilgrims in the Roman Cam- pagna, with a view of Mount Sorate,”’ by Oswald Achenbach; “Maud Muller,” by ©. Brochart (with Eichen’s engraving of it); ‘‘Autumn,” by J. Robie; “The Old Fisherman’s Story,” by H. Salentin ; “Aurora’s Hymn,” by Hamon, and “Echo Lake,” by David Johnson, Everybody stops at Goupil’s window to admire Bispham’s capital portrait of Mr. Bonner'’s famous Dexter. John Elder's “Summer? and ‘Winter’—the one presenting a little negro boy luxuriating on the first melon of the season, and the other the same, or one very like him, rejoicing with equal exultation over the first rabbit which he finds in his snow-covered trap, in the cold gray morning—have just been bought by General Mahone. These admirable little paintings are at the New York Hotel, They ex- hibited great attention at the recent exhibition of the National Academy of Design. Mr. Elder is a Virginia artist and made his early studies at Dusseldorf. Prang has issued a chromo of Eastman Johnson's capital painting ‘illustrating Whittier’s familiar lines:— Blessings on thee, little man, Barefoot boy with cheeks of tan. The chromo has received and deserves the highest praise from both the painter and the poet. Whittier calls it “a charming Hlustration” of his little poem, “and in every way satisfactory as a work of art.” And Eastman Johnson adds:—“‘It strikes me as being one of the best chromo-lithographs I have ever seen.’” “The Barefoot Boy” is bound to be popular, The grand medal for painting at the present Exhi- bition in the Palace of Industry, Paris, bas been awarded to M. Brion, and that for sculpture to M. Falguiéres, ‘Those of our readers who have penetrated into the Bath room or cellar at the Academy in which sculp- tors are annually condemned to exhibit their works, and who have admired the works which Professor Jerichau has executed for Sir Francis Goldsmith, will be glad to hear that there are other sculptures by the same hand here in London which they may inspect without the risk of catching a severe cold. At South Kensington is a group just completed for her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, which such of our readers as desire it may see before it is finally trans- ferred to Malborough House, This work, which 1s one ofextreme grace and beauty, may be called “The Surprise,"" and represents two female figures sur- prised in the bath by an intruder. Nothing can be finer than the contrast of feeling expressed in the features of these two figures. The face of the younger, a girl who has not yet reached womanhood, ts full of cu- riosity at the cause of intrusion, and yet she turns to her elder ocmmpenien. cl ig to her, as it were, for comfort and advice. The elder has no curiosity on her countenanve, which ts fall of womaniy dig- nity, which, while it shrinks from the gaze of the in- truder, 1s ready to repel him with modest indigna- tion. Nor is the contrast between the countenances of the companions less happily sustained in every part of the group. The slender frame and taperin; limbs and extremities of the maiden are well bal- anced by the rounded form and fuller proportions of the elder woman, #0 that altogetner this is one of the most beautiful ips we have ever seen. Severe and modest in its classical feeling, in which the worthy pupil of the great Thorwaldsen is revealed, and yet intensely natural and winning by the ex- quisite truth of every detail, such work is worth‘a wilderness of ki on horseback, or busts of Common ‘Councilmen, and tt will be well lodged among the treasures of a royal house. At the same place may be seen a cast of another UP. which Professor Jeri- chau has exeeuted for the same princely patron, and which is now at Marlborough House. This rep- resents Adam and Eve in Paradise, and the moment which the artist has seized is that at which the first pair first set eyes on each other. Nothing can equal the surprise shown by our first parents at the unex- pected gto of their future partner; their faces are full of astonishment and dignity, at once uncon- scious of themselves and of each ovher. The price of each of these great works was, we believe, 1,000 guineas, and to our mind they are well woreh the money. As for the ‘Bathers,” the public can judge for themselves by going to the South Kensington Museum and asking to see it, The other remains at Marlborough House until such time as the owners of Professor Jerichau’s works shall agree to combine them tn one exhibition, The world will then see at a glance that the sculpture is not one of the extinct arts, and that the mantle of Thorwaldsen nae ig y behold in together with Sir Francis Goldsmith's “Love Triumphant," to which it wouid | Professor Jerichau to add several other works. xquisite LITERARY ITEMS.

In the month of October, 832, the com gi! imported a locomotive from Liv. erpool, built Bury, Which made daily trips from Petersburg to the Meierrin river,a distance of about thirty-eight miles. The road was finished in ‘ctera 1833, and the company havi imported severt other locomotives, made also by Bury, continu regular trips, then between Petersburg and Blakele} (on the Roanoke), with freight and passengers tength of road about sixty miles). The Richmond, Fredericks- busg and Potomac Railroad was commenced the latter part of the year 1834, was completed in Novem- ber, 1936, to Fredericksburg, and extended in 1838-39 to Aquia creek (whole distance about seventy miles). The Richmond and Petersburg Rall- road, the last of the link, was commenced in 1886 ae during 1837 (distance about twenty mile’). ‘The first ratiroad in Virginia was one from the coat pits in Chesterfleld county to Richmond, or rather Manchester county—distance about twelve miles— horses only were used, The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the leading speculative shares in the years 1864 and 1865 respectively :— “1804+ ——-1869-—— Highest, Lowest, Highest.
