Thu will be one of the most curious, exciting
delightful and extraordinary anniversaries of our
National independence that ever was witnessed
Foth factions of the peoples representatives in Con
gre.s thrown INTO utter confusion by the frmness of
Capt Tyler; both factions OF the peoples represen-
talyes in the city, thrown into confusion by the
frmness OF Mayor Morris with useless Congress
10 city government until late Saturday night
40 prepaFatlon-no organZation-no concert of &C
ton with dirty streets-an empty treasury thumb
cr, lightning and rain every half hour-no Croton
wlter-the Temperance societies making war on
the rum shops-and every body setting off fireworks
just wherever they pleasethrowing serpents at la
dies pettlcoats-fring off pistols in the ears of poor
nervous people--with all these combined, we bid
fair to pass singular 18th Of July, as ever was
seen in this city
NeVeTtneeoS III Is the OF July; ana That, IL
Tor nothing else, we ought to be thankful and we
shall have to get through with it the best way we
can. of course many will get drunk acct
dents viii happen--nany viii rise his morning in
fuh health, whose eyes will be closed in death be-
fore night; and Tor this, if for nothing else, we
ought TO be careful.
II We thought our advice would be needed, we
would advise every one TO keep sober-eat little
drink ess--give the day oquet enjoyment-devote
your time and attentio to your wives and families,
and conduct yourselves rational beings. So shall
you find your reward when you wake up on Tues
day morning.

THE LITERARY SOCIETIES

Chrystie and clancy streets, by reading the de-
c,araton OF iniepsndence, an Grafton by George
Clifford, poem by c. d. Stuart, debate and other
ceremonials. The following is the Poem:-
Land of the free and chainless souls
Home OF the fearless and the brave
Far as the sun his circuit rolls,
Thy trophies CLEAN by land and wave
Above the switzer's h-tops green,
Amid the Grecan olive isles,
Thy flashing star is brightly seen,
AS o'er the waking world il smiles.
The rustling of thy flag is heard
In every clime-on every breeze;
An hearts of mighty realms stirred
From arthes West to Indian seas
Tho Eagle swoops above thy shore
In unpi. DER the Lions sway;
Aud swords OF tyrants are more
The rod OF Kings has passed away.
Thy million hearts, one common chain
Are stronger than the battlement;
And linked by mountain and by main,
Can neer ny gold or arms be rent.
Long may thy star be seen on high
And long thy flag BY land and sea-
loren light cleaning to the sky,
sign Columba's sons are free!
