LlTCHFIELD, JULY 6, Is4I.

oPPeaE 'O oe as extenslve nor as general usual throughout the country. In some places, Saturday has been the day observed; in others, and more com monIy' Monday. In this immediate vicinity, no gen. eral observances Of the day have taken place. Small parties of young people have rode out of town and others come in, apparently expecting find gather ings for the celebration, but without effect.
 In Cornwall, near the Housatonic River, the loco tocos had a celebration on Saturday. where we un. derstand certain fat ex.edtor ofthe Hartford Times held forth to the wonder of fhe natives" What he said, and how he said it, and who and how many heard him, will doubtless appear in due time in that oracle oftruth the Times.
 In Kent, we learn, fine no-partv celebration took place on Monday, the particulars of which we expect for another week. The Washington Band of Music from Plymouth were there and very much aided in giving ccLas to the otherwise good arrangements The oration by Rev. Mir. Andrews, delivered in grove near the south village. is spoken of as highly eloquent production. Some 3 or 400 sat down to the dinner prepared by MT. Barnum-some good sent ments were gven-and the whole passed off in good spirit.
 CoNGREss.-Ihe Senate very hnsily engaged in the discussion of the bill for the establishment of the Fiscal Agent" or Bank of the United States in. troduced by MT. Clay, and as connected with it the project of the Secretary othe Treasury. Some sharp shooting has already taken place between different branches of the whg party. All appear agreed that some bank should be established but they disagree in the details. We believe that after mutual inter- change of opinions, concession and compromise will be effected, and bill passed by four or five majority and that it will then pass the House by large ma jority.
 l The House has been during the past week engaged 1 mostly in the discussion of the Distribution Bill- Long and wearisome speeches on each side are made "for Bunkum,'' which consume vast deal of time.

 We glad to see the ball in motion, rnd trust it will be kept moving till at least large proportion of the offices in this county are renovated In this 1 town, we are yet four locos to one whig-and nearly this proportion throughout tho county. The removals of deputy posmasters throughout the United States amount to 5OO month. Hurtford Times.
 According to this rate it will take year, or more to even equaliae the offices between the parties A thousand month for short time would not be any too rapid for the good of the government or the bene- 1 fit of the people.
 1 TIE CONCERT ofthe County Sacred Music Society, on Friday evening last was, we are happy in saying | laJ of good music feel determination to support the n- stution in its laudable purpose of endeavoring to raise and keep up the standard of church music- Not less than five hundred visitors were in attend ance and, though the price oftickets was low sui- cient funds obtained to cover the actual expen- ses of the Society. This will we trust incite the members to persevere in well doing-and the com munty to give them their countenance and support The performances of the evening, under the direc- tion ofthe leader of the choir Mr. D. Phelps of Nor fok were such that the Society lost none of its we'll deserved high reputation on the contrary, we learn from more competent judges than profess to be in such matters, that the music fully equal, if not superior. to that of any previous Concert. The instrumental well as vocal part of a very high order; and without being invidious, we cannot well omit to mention particularly the able and spirited manner in which some of the most difficult pieces upon the organ were played by Miss Julia Beers, of this village. To Miss Battell, of Norfolk, also, too much praise cannot be accorded Both upon the or gan, and as vocalist, she stands unrivalled in the county; and upon this occasion when her services were most needed as a vocalist, they were cheerful ly afforded and duly felt and appreciated. To the Norfolk choir generally, the community can always look with confidence for leading part in Der of very fine singers from the Plymouth and Washington chors, as usua assisted in the per formances. On the whoe-for we have not room or disposition further to particuarze-the Concert was rich musical treat to all those who were present.
 The Albany Argus of last Thursday utters the fol- lowing doleful Iamentation:
 l Political Proscripiion-nnOre ofI-"The first of July, it seems is to be marked by a widespread if not universal sweep of the incumbens of the post-of. | flee. For weeks, the note of preparation" has reached us on nearly every breeze-not in official statements of the local newspapers and the notes of correspondents"
 To which its fellow laborer, the Evening Journal, thus responds :-"There is music-rich music, in such paragraphs! We never read the Argus, Eve. Post, Globe, &c. with such delightful emotions as when they have taken their harp from the willow to
 lament the removal of few Postnlasters. l When locofocoism in power, while it was ha- ted for it's destructiveness, there was whining among Wings about the loss of office. None but those who wore collars were permitted to remain in | ofico Their nroscriDtions were uniye rsal They
