READING OF THE DEcLARATIoN OF
INDEPENpENcE.-Inou our account of the eel
ebrailon of the fourth of July, we should have
mentioned in the course of the article. that
the declaration of American Independence
was read, by Mr.. THOMAS r. HUNTER. a
very promising young gentleman, and an under
graduate of Brown University. This famous
state paper, which is exceedingly difficult 10
read, was read in manner, very creditable to
that young gentleman. A degree of native
modesty, at the onset, injured his reading, but
as he acquired confidence, he proceeded with
out hesitation, and acquitted himself TO the
entire satisfaction of the audience. OF the
Reverend Mr.. Pickering's Prayer, it is sufic-
ient to say, that it was an eloquent appeal to
the throne of Grace;-just such an one, as
might have been expected from that very elo-
quent and able Clergyman.

be remembered, and as we trust, be pointed
to, by the youth Of other communities ;and thai
whilst the deed is applauded, 1t will be re-
ccived, as worthy of imitation.
After the other ceremonies of the day were
over, the corps Of Light Infantry, commanded
by Captain Slimson, repaired to their Alarm
Post, where the members, accompanied by
General Barton and several other invited
guests, pariooh of a sump;cous repas, prov ID
ed for the occasion. A number Of $ ntiments
were drank, which were marked by patriot
ic vein Of thought and expression. The de-
pertinent of the corps, and the guests was per-
fectly .Militaire; and all e,inced those good
feelings, which ought ever to exist at con-
,vial meeting.

Our THEATRE, closed on Wednesday
night, with the play Of George Barnwcll and
he mclo-dramatic. afterpiece of Cherry and
Fair Star The house was not full, and the
most remarkable thing that occurred in the
course of the evening, was that many Of the
audience, slumbered to tie leaden dulness OF
the pieces and the actors; and the language
of the players, was often drowned by the
sHogngs of the sleepers. According to an
nnnciation, Orator Emmons, made his appear
ance; made an effort to speak, but could not
be heard, and was, very justly driven from the
stage. The audience, as if anxious to make a
general settlement Of accounts, next called up
the young gentleman who nsulted them a few
nights previous, by the uttcrance of offensive
and abusive language; and after innictng suit
able chastisemcnt, suffered him TO proceed
The weather was very warm, the audience
was ripe for pleasure, and each and all retired

Domestic MANUFAcTUREs.-If we con-
t'nue to 60 on in making improvements in the
manufacture of Domestic Fabrics as rapidly as
we have done, for the last four or five wears.
we shall soon attain the summit of manufac-
turing perfection, and not stand in need of the
aid Of any foreign nation. We yesterday saw
new specimen of the ingenuity of American
manufacturers, displayed, in the formation of
the palm leaf hat, description of fabric which
has not, till very recently, been introduced to
this country The palm leafhat is now lnanufac-
tured on an extensive scale, by Mr.. Jabez Boy-
den, of Dedham Massa chusetts; and the art was
discovered in the following manner About two
years since, Mr. Boyden, happened to be in
this town, and accidentally met with an unfor-
tunate and disease stricken individual, who in
consequence of long confinement in the Moro
Castle, had nearly lost the use of his limbs,
and became an object Of charity. Commiser-
atng his condition, Mr.. Boydcn enqured into
his history, when he discovered that he was
acquainted with the manufa cture of the palm
leaf hat, and instantly resolved to take him
home, and place him in a situation, which
would enable him to procure an honest, as we'll
as comfortable livelihood. When the inva-
lid had recovered his health, Mr.. Boyden sent
to Cuba, for the palm leaf, but was not, until
very recently, enabled to procure it. He at
last succeeded, and now carries on the manu-
facture of the palm leaf hat, very extensively
Those that we have seen-and they can be
found at the store of Mr. Asa Fairbanks, are
decidedly superior to any that wo have seer,
imported from Cuba, and afford happy speci-
men of American ingenuity. We wish Mr..
Boyden every success in his new and interest.

the correctness of the Home protecting Policy.
