The FoURTH.-The celebration in Boston
on Saturday as we learn from the papers was
marked with more general interest and
enthusiasm than usual. The city was throng-
cd with people, and the day passed off joy
ously. The Floral procession in the morning
was more elegant and brilliant than ever be-
fore, and among the prominent objects in the
procession the intelligent representatives of
the Four Seasons formed by groups of child
rem in appropriate costumes and positions,
were skiltully arranged and much admired

At the close of the ceremonies at the Tenn
pie, the city authorities and their invited guests
partook of dinner at Fanucil Hall, which
was conducted on strictly temperance prnci-
pies.
In SALEM the day was celebrated with un-
usual demonstration. The grand feature was
the Floral Procession by the scholars of six
teen of the Sunday Schools from many
churches, forming procession of upwards of
$500, bearing banners and devices, and flowers
in great abundance. There were services at
the Mechanics Hall, singing by the children,
addresses, &c.
In WORCESTER, there was n Temperance
gathering with procession, addresses, cola
ton, &c.

Rather TOO THCK The practice Of some
young Ladies of putting 6onr enough on their
faces 10 make a good sized biscuit we never
did admire very much. We are not parlic-
ularly partial 10 either dOugh:jaced poll
ticiaDs or dOugh.faco maidens. On Wednes-
day among some hundreds of very pretty faces
following the Masonic Procession we observed
one which had been toured little 'too thick"
The heat OF the day had caused the perspira-
tion to flow from her temples, which, minging
with the thick coating of flour upon the cheeks,
washed it into ridges and formed at once the
most literal and perfect specimen ola dough-.
fice we ever saw.
II this should meet the young ladys eyes she
will please pardon US for the liberty We have
taken. and also indulge us in one suggestion
which is, that the beauty Of young lady'S
cheeks, glowing with natures healihlul tinls,
cannot be heightened by any artificial applica-
tions.-Piqa 60 Register.

the following fashion -

foreign ministers they have got three Of the

men at their command they have got all Of
Texas and some more and have giren aray

have got the Chairman Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and they have got the ar-
preparation bill for our Western harbors, in
their breechcs pockets. Now they want a re-
duclion of the tariff, and then they are willing
Congress should adjourn. We 90 for an i'm

The LATEST FROM THE ARMY.-The fol.
lowing is the Picnyune's summary of the Ia.
test advices from the Rio Grandc.
Mr. Kendall had left Mn,amoras with a
party of McCuloueh's Rangers, on a scout
ing expedition, on the 18th ult.
The James l.. Day. Captain Griffin. arrived
yesterday morning from Bruzos Santiago,
having sailed thence The morning of Saturday
last, the 10Th. Among the passengers she
brought over were Lieut.. Col. Payne, on his
way to Washington with Mexican trophies,
Majors Erwin and Fowler, Capts. Smith,
Stockton and Page, and Lieut.. Sturges-all
Of the army.
The Day brought mails from the U. S.
steamer Princeton, the frigate Raritan and
sloop of.war ST. Marys. received by tho
brig Ranger at Brazos, from Tnmpico and
Vera Cruz, and very large mail from tho
army.
The news by this arrival is not Of great i'm.
portancc. The capture of Reynosa by Col
Wilson, is confirmed SO is the report that
Generals Arsta and Ampuda had both been
ordered to Mexico. There was a report in
the camp, to which we attach no credit, that
Herrera had been restored to power in Mex
leo, and that an armisticc had been rendered

The 9Th Regiment of Louisiana Volun-
teers, under Col. Feathers,oD, took I'D their
line OF march for Barita on the 18th instant.
II is stated, on good authority, that Gen
cral Taylor will go NJ the river TO Reynosa
and probably to Camargo, in n very short
time.
We learn from our correspondent as
that Gov Henderson. who was at Fort Polk
on the lob, has been mustered into the ser
vice as Major General. Gen. johnson has
been elected Colonel Of the Regiment Of
Texas Infantry, Capt. McLane as Licn,en-
ant Colonel, and Mr.. Wells. formerly OF tho

an IRISH child 3 orr years Of age, while play
ing on the bank Of the canal, back of Fleet
street, was attacked by u small bull dog,
which lacera,cd its face severely, tearing of
as we are informed, one check, and produ.
cling terrible wound upon the calf Of the leg.
This dog had previously been subject to fits.

THE Tariff Blu.

The bill for the reduction Of the Duties On
the importation of Foreign Goods and Manu-
lactures has passed the House Of Representatives. -
The majority on the final passage ofthe bill was
nineteen votes exhibiting a combined effect Of
Executive influence and Party Drill, against the
undoubted wishes Of the People, and, as we sup
pose, against their actual instructions to por-
lion at least of those Representatives who COM
posed the majority on the final vote, such as has
rarely been witnessed even in the popular branch
of Congress.
Tea and Coffee, the objects without which no
advantage to The revenue can nationally be ex-
pected from the passage Of this BILL were struck
out of it by acclamation but, TO secure the votes
of the Democracy of the Empire State, (inds-
pensablc to the passage of the billy duty Of
t,centy per cent upon he raiue has been laid upon
the article of SALT, the most Indispensable Of all
the nccessarieS Of life, without the daily use Of
which the poorest man in the country would be
unable to keep body and souA together. An ex-
animation of the proceedings OF yesterday, and
of the Yeas and Nays on the several questions,
will show that this duty probably would not
have passed the House, could the bill for strip.
ping American Manufactures of their present
protection have been passed without it. so that
the majority may almost literally be said to have
been procured as children in the nursery are
told that birds are caught, by sprinkling salt
upon their tails. There are other things also in
the proceedings which our readers will find
well worthy Of their attention.
The bill, having passed the House of Repre-.
scntalives, has now to undergo consideration in
the Senate. What its reception there will be,
we have no means of judging. Whatever its
ultimate fate may be, The ninety Reprcsen-
latives of the People who have manfully battled
against it in the House OF Representatives arc
entitled To the thanks ofthe friends of Home In
dustry all over the United States, as well ofthoso
who till the soil as of those who prepare its pro-
ducts for market. National Iuieiiigeneer Of Sat-
