The Committee ofArangements for the fourth
of July are entitled to the unqualified thanks the
citizens ofthe town, for tn cir unremtting and
stant exertions to celebrate the day with all the
splendor due to so great and glorious an occasion.
They were engaged in season and out of season,
making large sacrifices of time; to effect their pur-
poses-which were to please the people, and to do
credit TO the town.
The duties thus voluntarily imposed were ex-
ceediugly arduous and vexatious, and but fo. the
perseverance and frmness of the gentlemen could
not have been completed. We were mortified 10
learn from one of the gentlemen yesterday that af-
ter all his pains, and after having expended con-
siderable amount himself in connexion with his as
sociates, he found II difficult to collect sufficient
contributions to defray the incidental expenses at
tending the entertainment given to the survivors OF
the revolution;and the responsibility of the af
fair rests on the hands Of the committee, they will
unless gentlemen come forward with their dona-
tions, have to make up the deficiency. For the
credit ofthe town we hope such may not be the
case.

u RESPECT TO Mr.. ADAMs.-As soon as it
was ascertaincd here, on Thursday, that the vene-
rable John Adams had departed for the world OF
spirits, the bells Of our Churches were tolled a
melancholy knell, and from the flag slaves, and
from the masts of our shipping, the 'star spansed
banner" waved in melancholy mood upon the
gale.
Yesterday, between the hours of three and four,
minute guns were discharged by order of the mun-
cipal authority, and every token of respect was
paid to the sage Of Quincy, by those who revere
the memory of the illustrious dead.
He has thus descended to the grave, honored by
his countrymen, and consoled in his last moments
by the assurance Of having devoted to his country
II we'll spent life, and conscious of having assisted
% lay the superstructure Of that liberty, und Of
hose free institutions, which he has left for our in
neritance.
