Monday was ushored in with the usual salute at
ordnance at the Navy Yard, with repetition Of
noon and at sun set. The uniform companies pa
raded early in the morning, marched to Broad
street, and fired salute and fen de joie and were
dismissed about 10 o'clock A. M.
The Cincinnati elected their officers in the morn
ing, and in the afternoon dincd at the u States
Hotel, (Renshaw's.) The working men heard an
appropriate Grafton, and dned together at Bush
HILL The jackson democrats" dincd in the CITY:
and in the third congressional district, the "demo-
Gratis" had dinner. The proceedings ut these fes-
tivities will, of course be published. Several re-
iglous societies noticed the day with observance
suited to their feelings.
The Young MEMS Temperance Society also held
| It's anniversary in the afternoon.
The young men celebrated the day with suitable
| demonstrations OF respect.
Agreeably to arrangements, { e friends of HEN
RY CLAY dined at the Musical Fund Hail, on Mon
| day 1t had, understand, been arranged to
guarantee to the fnrnisher of the dinner the sale
OF two hundred tickets. AS the Young mems ccle-
bration would naturally draw off considerable
number of the active force of the party, and as
public dinners on the 4th of July had not for seve-
raj succeeding anniversaries been we'll attended, it
was thought the number above named would be the
extent OF the capabilities of the party especially
as the celebrate on was undertaken at n very late
y,riod. On the day previous to the celebrations
9weVcr, 1t was ascertaincd that the number would
| at least double that contemplated, and prepara
{: -ns werL accordingly made to accommodate the
aertained increase, The dinner was furnished
sd wellfurnished, by Messrs. Rykeman & Brown
% the Independence Hotel.

and our distinguished fellow citizen, John Ser
geant, Esq. presided. 1t was found however, Tint
the four Hundred and fifty plates laid were far
short of the Commands, another table was spread
and about one hundred more seats provided and
some OF those first seated gave place to after com
GIs-aoout SIX hundred, therefore, dned at the
Hall.

ms hapPiest veins of eloquence, using the occasion
to point out to his auditors the necessity of reform
by referring to existing abuses. We hope to pub
