some armed with large cord wood clubs, set

They beat back the officers, who however,
held on to their prisoner So great was the
noise and Glamour that the Mayors Couie

Inaldition to the splendid preparations making
in Philadelphia in honor Of La F,yettc, it has, at
ter many arguments, pro. and con- finally been
determined to illuminate the City, on the eve

be brilliant; many transparcncies will be eHib-
itcd and strong cxertions made by opulent citl-
zcns to excel in decorating their mansions. y

for the CoGce-House illumination Lanps, that
VIC understand all the tnmen in the City are in
adequate to the la5or of making them.-Forty
thousand have already been engaged, and we
think that the tinmen Of n. York would find it to
their advantage to embark in the speculation"
We have not yet heard the opinions OF our citi-
zcns upon the propriety Of Illuminating our Bo-
