Evacuation of Mem York.--On Satnr.
day last the anniversary of the evacua-

1888, was celebrated With the usual
demonstrations OF joy. AT 10 O'Clock the

parading through the principal streets,
they passed the City-Hall, and we're re-
viewed by the Mayor and municipal au-

a supper at their hall the Theatre and
other public places we're well attended,
and the day passed with much satisfac-
ton. We are informed that man was
killed 10 the Park by an nnruly horse,
which he was riding. The most inter-
esting ceremony, however, was the OPEN
ing of the APPRENTICES LIBRARY. The
ceremony took place in the spacious hall
occupied as the Free School, in Chatham
street, which was filed with scholars, ap.
prentices, and a large concourse of ladies
and gentlemen. The committee of the
Mechanics Society, the Speaker of the
Assembly, (who is also mechanic,) the
Mayor and Common Council Of the city,
and the reverend Clergy occupied stage
erected for the purpose. The exercises
commenced with an address to the Throne
Of Grace by the Rev. Mr.. Minor. An
Grafton was then delivered by Mr.. Thorn
as r. Mercein, distinguished for elo
quence, patriotism, aud sound advice. 1t
was stated that $500 children are taught
in this city free Of expense, and upwards
Of 80 children and orphans were also edu-
Gated by the Mechanics Society. In
the evening the Library was opened,
when an immense press took place-be-
tween and 400 apprentices applied for
and obtained books.-Ndt. Adu.

Declaration Of Independence

TX7E have no authentic copy OF this moss
Wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports toe proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not -
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proyl'
sonit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
Iished edition after edition OF this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
| Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy of Magma
Charta has been exceled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes Of the seals and
signatur sshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
The literary attainments, also, of King John,
King Henry, and their Rarons bold
Surely the Declaration OF American inde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and If the fac-similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
| published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify a curiosity at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius or Of the aristocr4cy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
| jant monarohs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration o: lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they viii be admired, by
| foreign nations as well as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
| also, to promote the great cause of public Il.
berry. Such an embelishededition as will
renderit an ornament 10 an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the KIN 'wledge of
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject Such an edition will
serve TO place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a family-it
viii associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
Transaction itselt-and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such n edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
Of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day Actuated by these views,
