The unrivalled splendour of the Illuminated Fountains In New York, where the PRESIDENT was received
and Fireworks is well known. The great novelty of the
display, with enthusiasm, he delivered an important address
at D ELMONICO'S, where he was entertained at a sump-
tuous banquet. In it Mr. JOHNSON came boldly to
the point at issue, and entered at once upon
the subject of his policy. He felt, he said,
that the Government, like the army and of
had done its duty in the suppression of the rebellion.
But the work was not done. The question of pre-
serving the Union had been settled by the armies
and navies of the United States, but while one
department of the Government had acted upon the
assumption that the Union was intact, another de-
partment had assumed and carried out the doctrine
that the Union was dissolved. This conduct on
the part of the Congress was, as Mr. JOHNSON
showed, totally opposed to the Constitution. In fer-
vent and eloquent language Mr. JOHNSON appealed
to his hearers for their answer to this great national
question. Were they, he asked, prepared for a
fresh division, to see their fields again desolated by

ference. In place, however, of the first set piece on
former occasions', a SHOWER of COLOURED SHELLS,
rapidly fired into each other as they burst, will—as they did
in Paris -form a prominent feature of this grand display.
THE GRAND GIIIANDOLE OF ROCKETS
far exceed in brilliancy and extent anything before wit-
nessed. The Rockets, with magnesium points, excite
general admiration. The Parachutes with coloured stars,
having afforded so much gratification, will be added to.
Twelve of these pleasing FLOATING STARS will be
displayed at once.
THE MAGNESIUM BALLOONS

the landscape—the smoke causing passing
shadows—are unique; while the
GRAND ILLUMINA'T'ION OF THE FOUNTAINS
is beyond question by far the most magnificent coup d'ceil
ever presented to the public, and confers the greatest credit
on Mr. Brock, the artist.
To enable all classes to witness this great popular dis-
play, the ordinary price of admission will be charged, viz.,
