CITY INTELLIGENCE.

The Procession To-day. If the weather to.
day should prove favorable, the celebration Of
the Nations Birth Day, will be more splendic
and on larger scale than any thing of the
kind which has taken place in the city of Bal
timore for many years. Every arrangement
has been effected to conduct all the ceremonies
in proper order, and we doubt not that all will
be satisfied with the celebration of the day
should the weather permit the programme tc
be carried out. The procession will form on
Baltimore street, facing on the north, and with
the right resting on Broadway At S o'clock
precisely, the procession will break by platoon
10 the right, and countermarch to the left, up
Baltimore street to Eutaw street, up Eutaw
to Monument street, thence TO the Base of the
Monument, where the ceremonies will take
place, which will be Prayer, by DR.. Johns
