THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEw ENGLAND GUARDS
OF BosroN IN THIS CITY.-The above gallant corps
arrived off the Battery yesterday morning a little
before six o'clock, in one OF the early boats from
Providence. There were waiting the arrival Of their
guests the N. Y. City Guards, together with the
Brooklyn Guards but the very unfavorable state Of
the weather prevented the parade and other militia
~ demonstrations with which they were to have
been received. At the time of their landing, the
rain fell in torrents, but the prompitude and readi
ness Of Captaia McArdle soon provided conveyan-
ces, which carried the City Guards, numbering
seventy seven muskets TO the Pearl Street House.
Shonlyiafier, the Committee of Arrangements were
despatched to the steamboat for their guests; and
in the meantime, the City Guard OF Brooklyn, in
full uniform, arrived through the rain. They mus
tered thirty-six understanding simiiar uni
form as the N. Y G. G., with the exception OF the
breastplate, which bears the arms of the city Of
Brooklyn.
These were succeeded by the arrival of the con-
veyances, bearing the an. Z. G." who were
marched into the dining room, and were there re-
ceived by the other two companies with heads un
covered. Red uniforms completely lined the room,
and the dark blue uniforms and gold lace with thu
red faciDgs Of the New England Guards centrasted
most agreeably with the dashing uniform OF the
others The appearance of the room at this timr
presented a truly gratifying spectacle The New
England Guards numbered fifty-five, rank and file
Capt. McArdle then addressed them in few
words, welcoming them TO the city, and regrettlrg

unpropitous state of the weather In aluson 10 the
noble display made by his command, he said his
heart then too full fer ult rance, lest he should
transgress the bounds OF proprety, and concluded
by intsoducing Capt. Sullivan, the former COM
mander Of the N. z. G to his companions in arms
This gentleman in behalf OF the members OF the
Boston company, made short, but eloquent ana
pertinent address. He said that the feelings OF a
commander of corps, who could, on such day
make so magnificent display, might well be TOO
full for utterance That they were indeed noble
band, and such as the city might well be proud OF
He also babe his old corps thrice hearty welcome
and in ext0lling their splendid appearance, he al
uded in the happiest manner to the glory they had
won by their services durlug the last war, when IN
the emergency OF a threatened attack upon the CITY
tor its defence; and SO formidable an obstacle did
they present, that the enterprise was abandoned by
the British commander, on the report of . spy who
had been sent to rec0nnoltre. But, gentlemen, hs
continued, old Frederic used 10 say soldier Was
worth nothing without his breakfast, SO we viii
have the eating first and the talking afterwards.
The three companies then made a vigorous At
