FOURTH OF JULY.

ted. At dawn Of day, agreeably 10 the previously nOOneed Pvogyamsns Of the committee, single gun was fred at sunrise federal ealutc of l3 guns. Al the volunteer miIi,ia company paraded the new ly erected lberiy pole the green. and conRued under arAs most of the lime nntil the prOceseion wae iormed. About II o'clock the procession formed, and under the escort of the militia company and fine hand If music from Plymouth, ihe whole precet- ed by the Marsaai of rhe day. Major E. A. Lord and pgoceeded dow" and up We%-sirees, and aIsS op and down Norah-srreei. 'o.he Congregational Church in East-e,eeei. Atie charch, the services were io,ro- d"ced by music from tI.e hand and a hymn by the choir; ,IeO followed the reading ofihe Declaration of Independence by Alr. Etkanah Hodges; then prayer by Rev My. Hitkok; ano,her hymn an oratou by E. w. AndreHs, Esq l; singing again, and music by the band: and final prayer and benediciion by Rev. Mr. Futsr. The church was crowded bo,h below and "bov~ during the exeFFises, which were very appro- yaiase--'he singing ii good syls--a6d we were giad o see only al the church. but at rie dinner iabIe, large number uf people tsSsn Geightnriag towns, who preferred une with ss ia an American celebration going elsewhere and having a,t -exelu- s:ey pa'y one. Aud il affords ns, y ,he way, real sai;sfiron remark ,ha, have heard of but one indvidual ot this who went abroad in join i1 party celebration.
 It may noi he improper remark ina, the address of Mr. Andrews was in opnnn greatly superior 10 the 4th ofJuy orationE which ordinarily hear. IL evnced good degree of deep thought, profound re- search, and correct christian feeling. He wen, into agenera review of the rise and rrogress and downfall ofihe Republics which hare existed in different ages of the worid and compared and coniraaed them with O"r ow" happy system of g"vernmen,-shewiag tsa, those oG Greece and Rome, under system of idoa,ry and superstition, likely to be durable as oars, go long the Bible and the christian religion and The institutions of pilgrim fathers continued 10 exert tteir proper ioluence. His remarks too about the French revolution. and the attempted es,atIisl,- ment "fa republican form ot governmesi, when "cha. os and wild mirrue and in6deliiy prevailed" showed ,rkng between tue people of tha, country and our own for seiEgovernment. Blu, we have no, time or room to enlarge upon ihe snljecf.
 Not the eas. pleasing part of the celebration was the fitting up of the omnibus of Mir. F. Marsh which was sar,eiuly dressed of with eveygreeas and in i, ,hr- teen little girs. clad iu pure whie with blue eits and wreashs of myrtle around their heas representing the thirteen original states. The volan,err miria com. paay. under the command of Capt. Fl. De,ning, com posed as M almost wholly ofsaw troops. appeared extremely well, and added very considerably to ,he interest ofthesoccarion.
 Alter the sxrrcises ,he church were concluded, 'he procession again formed, and proceeded down and "p Sou.h-s,reei the Hotel oi Mesara. Spencer & Wadhama. And al'ou, 2 o'ciock upwards of 300 persons down to excellent dinner prepared by Messrs. s. 6x w. The bo"nss oi nature fnr- ~ished iu mos, heral rr"fusion.
