AMERICAN NEWS.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, THREE A.M.
By the Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, we
have New York Papers to the Bth, five days
later than advices via Havre. This noble vessel
has made her passage in 19 days, and brings 27
cabin passengers—the following are extracts :

(From the New York Inquirer of July 7.)
The anniversary of American Independence was cele-
brated in this city with more than ordinary spirit and
effect, and the day passed off with much less than the
usual number of causualties. It is gratifying, too, to
acid that we have never known the event more quietly
and more rationally observed. There was no want of
noise, for there was too much music and too much burn-
ing of powder to permit us to say that ; but there was
less over-drinking, less rioting, and less disorder of all
sorts than is generally exhibited on such an occasion
among a population of three hundred and twenty thou-
sand inhabitants, audit is due to the municipal authorities
to say that they deserve credit for the judicious arrange-
ments made for the preservation of order, and to the subor-
dinate officers to bestow the same praise, for their faith-
fulness anti promptitude in carrying those arrangements
into effect. The Division of Volunteer troops under the
command of Major General Sanforil, never looked more
soldierly, or made a more imposing appearance in all re-
spects, The Division, after marching in Regiments
through the streets, formed on the Battery, and was re-
viewed by his Excellency the Governor, attended by a
brilliant staff. The column then moved through Broad-
way and several other streets to the Park, where, after
firing a feu de joye, the troops were dismissed.
The Temperamm troops turned out too, in great num-
bers, and marched in procession to the Broadway Ta-
bernacle, where the Declaration of Independence was
read by M. M. Noah, Esq., and an eloqUent oration
pronounced by Benjamin F. Butler, Esq. There were
probably fifteen hundred in the procession of the Tem-
perance Societies, consisting of respectable persons of all
classes of our citizens, and several of the Societies bore
very beautiful banners. '
Among tlee processions, the Hibernian Benevolent So-
ciety was conspicuous. It was very large, and the green
banners, badges, and scarfs gave a fine and imposing ap-
pearance to the procession.
There was an Oration also, at Washington Hall, by
Mr. 0. A. Brownson, of Boston.

In the evening the fire-works provided by the Corpo-
tion were sent up from the City Hall and the other places
previously designated, and had a very fine effect ; but
the city was full of fire-works, and the official pyro-
technics were scarcely distinguishable from the others.
The places of public amusement put their best feet be-
fore, and they were all crowded with visitors.
