In Bristol the day was usbered in by
"a national salute from the Artillery aud
a joyous peal from every steeple in the
place. At hall past ten o'clock a pro.
cession was formed ii the State House,
by Col. Giles Luther. Marshal of the
day, and proceeded, escorted by the
Light Infantry, Capt. Munro. and Ar,
tillery, Col. Taylor, down High-street.
through Union-street, up Hope-street,
down State-street, through Thames
street, up Bradford-street 10 the Con-
srcgational Westinghouse, where the
Rev. Mr.. Wight made fervent and i'm
pressive appeal to the throne Of Divine
Grace, and returned the unspeakaLle
thanks Of a grateful people, to the God
of battles. and Mr.. Walter w. Dalton,
delivered an Grafton replete with pa
triotick sentiments, which received the
unbounded plaudits of numerous and
respectable audience. The services
were enlivened with appropriate musick
by select choir. The possession was
again formed. and proceeded TO Mr..
Chadwick's Hotel where it WIS dis.
missed. The concourse of spectators
was very numerous and the satisfaction
general.
The uncommon fineness of the day.
caused brilliant display Of

and the bright rays Oft sun found a
thousand sparkling rivals. while the
mornings freshness was reflected from
a thousand smiling count enances. Bris-
tol can, at least boast Of as large share
Of female beauty as any other town in
the state.
| We should be guilty ofan act Of in
Justice were we TO close this paragraph
without noticing the military appear
ance and soldier like conduct Of the
Artillery and Light Infantry companies.
The former appeared in an entire new
dress, and the latter with some add,t
ions to their uptorm, was a fine speci
men Of the perfection to which some
chartered companies in our state have
attained. In the afternoon they pa
raded on the common and entertained
the visitors with which the town VIA
crowded, with the novelty ola noel
battle, which was executed with skill
and precision that would have don,
honour to more experienced soldiers.-.
We should be happy to see u like spir
it manifested by other military bodie
which we could mention.
Mr.. Chadwick spread his table in
manner worthy Of the occasion and tn
