IMMENSE §THRONGS IN THE STREEIS, Another St, Patrick’s Day is numbered with the ast, and if no perceptible advance towards a na- téonal triumph in their own land is to be noticed, wertainly the celebration of yesterday in the me- Sropolis of the United States will stamp Irishmen toa higher regard in the eyes of the world than ever before, Ihe pageant of yesterday, with the exception of some additonal features of interest and in point of numbers, differea but little from those of previous years. The way really to regard M 18 the estimation in which it was re- garded.by Americans to the manner bora, This fecling was universally expressed, and always 4m 8 manner favorabie to not only tens of thousauds ef naturalized citizens Who marched in procession, vet w Irishmen in general. Men of second rate abilities seldom judge for themselves; but the way m whicn England itself has clevated the cause of Irish nationality by exiling the men iately arrived here has helped these aforesaid second rate men to an increased appreciation of their HIBERNIAN FELLOW CITIZENS, ‘The celebration of yesterday was on a scale of un- ‘usual magnificence, and more than tho banners were the broad-shouldered, strapping men who, to the number of at least 49,000, fuoted it through the slush and mud, which is proverbially peculiar to the natal day of Ireland's patron saint, ‘The morning dawned foggy and threatening, with aterrivle layer of mud, which no amount of March sun could DRY UP, and hence the processional pedestrians prepared ‘themselves for the worst which might beta). The early riser found a strange state of things, for the ‘open stores betokened that it was not Sunday, yet he who would have looked along the line of busy ‘wharves which skirt Manbattan island would fina ‘Dusiness, in its sense of busting men, conspicuous ‘by its absence. Forty thousand men bent on fes- tivity” would not account for this, The fact was ‘wat so much of Gotham had gone to look at the DISPLAY OF IRISH “BRAVERIES” the rest thought they might as well follow their ex- ample.

The HERALD reporter sallied forth and found this state of things. A journey in ihe cars up the Bowery ‘Was @ veyaze between lines of broad. inqwring faves, on each of which was writtea i upuistaka- able Gaeiic:— “This is Patrick's Day, my flue fellow.” ‘The various sociclies moved tuto position with | commendable celerity and with a punctuality worthy Of mention.

Perfect guod humor prevailed, and at that hour the evidences were that if the shamrock had been Growned at ail it was Croton water that had done the work. The usual vexations wiich smull men dna crowd invariably experience when there is any- thing to be seen were the cause of much amusement | among te yoass of humanity. “Get oif my toes, bad luck to yon |” “Wid a heart an’ a half, Misther Mullowney, if ye'll take yer elbow out of my iiith rib.” “Biddy, Biddy, shtan’ on this shtone an’ yeu see Patsey at the head uv the Father Majiemiu.”” “7)) shtan’ on my own two feet,’ said Bridget, and certainly the Colossus at Rhodes could have supported himself on her =, twelves.

St, Patrick's Day was yesterday honored in the Catholic churches of the city by the celebration of masses the same as on Sundays, The ceremonies in | the Cathedral were particularly imposing. Solemn high mass was celebrated at half-pastten o’clock by Archbishop McCloskey, assisted by Rev. fathers Quinn and Breston as deacons of honor; the Rev. Father McGean being deacon of the mass, and the Rev. Father MoNamee sub-deacon, An eloquent negyric on St. Patrick was preached by the Rev, Panes Farreily, of St. James’ parish, the text peing taken from St. Paul to the Corinthians.

The youth and beauty of the Irish population of this city seemed to be | present to honor the occasion, and the aspirants for sShoulder-straps may well feel proud of themselves, They deserve, too, the highest compliments that can be given them for the manner in which they con- ducted the affair, for they succeeded tn giving satis- | faction to every one present. It was broad daylight when the company dispersed. ‘The committee of arrangements consisted of Ser- geant James Clark, Major #. J.

There were flags flying, banners waving, bands playing, horses prancing, men marching and women smiling in the streets of the City of Churches yea- terday, and all this in honor of the day is proof positive of the reverence and respect in which the | sons of the Green Isle of the Sea hold that most worthy of canonized missionaries, The flags of the municipality commiugied with the green em- blems of irish nationality which were displayed from the City Hall, County Court House, the Demo- cratic Club House and several private residences, Horses were decorated with miniature fags and the dresses of the women ana tiles of the men all partook of the festive bright hue of the day celebrated. Early in the morning the gold- tunseled regalias of the men glittered on every side, as the Mivernians, temperance and benevolent ociety boys’ hastened to their respective places of assembly, and as the day grew older the music of the bands which headed the detachments marci- ing to the general rendezvous on Bedford avenue cheered the hearts of those within earshot by their enlivening airs.
