In NEw-YoRK the day was celebrated with
a degree OF splendour seldom Witnessed in
that city. Tor the arrangement IF the hro-
cession, &c. see our last. After performing
the ceremony of laying the corner stone, MIR.
Clarkson Crolius, the Grand Sachem, ad-
dressed The audience in few observations,
very spirited and appropriate. After which
Mr.. Sherman, the Orator OF the day, deliver
ed an appropriate Grafton.
Though the weather was somewhat unfa-
vourable and showery, yet the spirit Of The
day appeared undiniinished and, what was
peculiarly favourable, while the Corner stone
was laying, the clouds broke away, and the
sun shone forth during the delivery of the
Grafton, and until the procession returned 10
their place o. rendezvous.
The members Of the society with number
Of republican guests, forming a numerous as
semblage, at o'clock sat down to dinner
prepared by brother Mariling. The compa-
ny was honoured with the attendance of ma
or Paulding, one of the sdrviving captors of
m Andre, who appeared as bearer Of The

PRovIDENcE--The Anniversary OF the
Columbian Order, was celebrated by Beaver
Tribe, No. /, at the Statc-housc in this town,
on Saturday evening, May IL, Uhe society
having previously voted not to make a publick
celebration, IN order that the members might
Join their brethren of the societies IN the vi
cinity, in executing the splendid preparations
which had been made by them for the obscr-
vance of the anniversary A Long Talk was
spoken by DR.. HOSEA HUMpHREy to large
and respectable audience. In tile course Of
lis LONG Talk, the DR.. intersperscd many
traits of the mock federalism Of the day,
whose force and Justice was felt and admired
by the auui,ncc, which retired al an early
hour, highly gra,ihcG.
In BRlsroI, the celebration was splendid
and Appropriate, and far exceeded Our most
sanguine expectations. At sunrise on Mon
day morning, the American flag waved over
the Republican Hotel, the Great Wigwam of
Beaver Tribe, No. 4. and at 10 O'Clock, a
numerous procession was formed IN The usu-
al order, decorated with the IA banners OF
the institution and accompanied by band of
musick, which moved through the principal
streets to Bishop Grswold's Church, where
the morning service was recited by the Rev
Mr. Ward, and number of excellent pie
ces Of musick performed by the band and
choir after which a Long Ialk Was Gellper-
cd by Grand Sachem JonN D'WoLF, jun'r.
To do justice to this truly original and elc-
gSnt Grafton, in an abstract OF It's contents,
would be impossible il was every thing we
could have wished, every thing we could
have expected from a scholar, gentleman,
and Republican, both capable and willing
" to give reason for the faith that is in him"
--simpIi4ity and sublimity, chasleness and
pungency, classick literature and hjstorick
lore, were united by the hand of a master,
and happily combined TO form finished per-
formance. AT the close Of the Long Talk a
psalm was chanted by the choir, accompan-
led by the band and the throne of grace
was addressed in tervent and patriotick
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Coy. The excrcl-
ses were peculiarly interesting, and gave the
most general satisfaction TO u crowded and
brilliant audience.
The Great Anniversary was also celebra-
ted In Auleboro' hy Panther Tribe, No. |.
Not having received the particulars we can on
ly state, that the Long Talk was delivered by
Mr.. HopGEs, of 1auatoa, Of which, report
speaks highly favourable and the members,
and a number OF visiting brothers, dined to-
gether in the Great Wigwam and drank to
unteer.
