able citizens of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Della
ware, having embarked in barge, proceeded along
the canal from the locks at the western extremity to
the summit bridge, near which the last eimbanknent
was removed. Here they were welcomed by great
concourse Of people, large body of troops from Bal
timore and repeated discharges of Artillery After
remaining for some tine the barge proceeded east
ward to the tide lock of the Delaware, thus naviga-
ting the whole line of the canal
To those who have not before seen the works, the
vast excavation of the deep cut the length and heghth
of the stone walls by which it lined, the width and
holiness of the summit bridge, the broad sheet of wa
ter, and the large scale which all parts have been
executed, could not fail to occasion much surprise and
admiration
The repairs at the Delaware tide lock, and the com
peton of such portions of the canal have been ne
cessary left to the last, will not it is said, occupy
many weeks. We may, therefore, expect TO see the
regular intercourse between the two bays soon CARR
ed on through channel long desired and expected
The barges constructed for the accommodation of
passengers, one of which was used on Saturday for
passing through the line, are beautiful specimens of
the naval architecture of Baltimore, and in room con-
veneHce and elegance, present striking contrast to
the small packet boats which usually navigate canals.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

NEW YORK, July y.
The Fouth.-The outdoors celebration Of our ma
tiona anniversary, was but sorry concern. 1t was
as cold as November not glimpse ofsunslne smil-
ed upon the city; it raned nearly all the forenoon,
and poured all the afternoon.
1t is said TO be the first fourth of July on which the
sun refused to shine upon our goodly city.
AT Albany, we learn, the day was equally unplea-
SAINT, and the celebration went off heavily.
Washington, July 7.--So unfavorable was the
weather in this District Saturday last that all
rangements for honorng the National Anniversary by
public demonstrations of respect defeated, ex-
cept the salutes of Artillery, which were regularly f.
red and repeated from the public Stations and by de-
tachments of the Volunteer Artillery companies at
different periods of the day.
During the whole day it rained without intermis-
sion and, however determined and persevering in
purpose, it became obvious, before 10 O'Clock in the
morning, that the proposed Procession and Laying of
the Cornerstone of the Lock on the Canal were out
Of the question 1t therefore determined to post
ipone the ceremony until future day. At O'Clock
the doors of the Presidents House thrown open
and, notwithstanding the falling weather. almost I'M
examped for this season, the Public Officers and
Foreign Ministers generally, and number of citi-
zens and strangers, paid their respects TO the Chief
Magistrate The visitors were received by the Pres
ident and his family with the courtesy and afibty
which beftted the place and the OCCASION The Ma
