contracted their operations much and the value Of
the staple articles Of trade has become much

who deal in them therefore comparatively free from

CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH OF July AT New
ORLEANs.-The glorious anniversary of our indie
pendence was celebrated on Tuesday with the
usual ecot One OF the most interesting ncd dents in
the celebration Of the anniversary of our ndepend-
ence, was the Ietum OF our gallant regiment of
Louisiana Volunteers, and their marching through
our principal streets, IN the very dress and with the
aims and accuutrements which they brought from
the scene of war. Their .rast with our sleek
and showily-unlformed city volunteers, was most
impressive and most pleasing. Their appearance
was highly martial. They marched with the firm,
steady step, and the mechanical accuracy of We
teran troops. The bronZed features of the men,
their faded and lOng-woTn uniforms, seemed to the
multitude of citizens who cheered their progress
through the streets, far more interesting than the
brilliant show of our handsome volunteer COM
panles. Colonel DE Russey commanded the regi
ment, and fine band of music preceded it. AS
they marched along the streets, the regiment was
greeted with the most enthusiastic welcomes and
applause. AT the st. Charles, Colonel De Russy
and Taylor appeared in the portco and exchanged
salutes with our gallant soldiers. Gen. Gaines
maue short and eloquent speech to the regiment,
congratulating the men on their return to their
homes, complimentlng them for their valuable SER
vices and fine appearance. The regiment, IN re-
tuin, gave three cheers for the gallant veteran
Gaines, and long and hearty one for the hero of
BuenaVista. The troops then broke into column,
and marched up st. Charles street to the Phoenix
House, opposite which they halted and stacked
their arms, and entered the Phoenix to partake of
some refreshments at the invitation of Colonel De
Russy. An interesting and most striking figure in
the procession was Col. DomingueZ, of the Mexl-
can Spy Company. He rode IN the rear of the mi
lItary, accompanied by some OF the members OF
his company. He is large man, of very dark
complexion, sinister expression, and tremendous
black moustachlos. He rode beautiful bay mus
tang, and seemed to bear himself as proudly as if
the whole ceremony and display had been got up
for his honor and beneft.-Nt,c Orleans Delta,

THRILLING SCENE AT NIAGARA FALLS
severe gale OF wind at Niagara Falls, on Monday
afternoon, the suspension bridge was for long
time In jeopardy. In consequence of its nnfuish-
ed State, the fastening not being all In place, the
foot bridge was made to vIbrate until one section
OF the cables slipped of the saddle, which caused
the planking to turn up edge wise but no other
other damage 10 this SECTION of the bridge. One
man only was at this part when the wind struck
it, who made his way to the shore amid the fear
iul commotion. He had reached within few feet
of the shore, when flying section of the uninish-
ed foot bridge struck HIM, knocking him from his
position, but he was near that two men caught
him, and saved him from being precipitated into
the fearful gulf! He was but just saved, yet not
injured. While this was being enacted the
cond foot bridge, which was planked half way
across the river, was broken near the Shore and
a section of some 40 feet carried away, leaving
four men floating fearfully in mid air. Their case
Tor a few minutes was one of the most mi-
nent danger, vibrating as they over the fear
full guf full GO feet, holding to whatever presen
ted itself; until the storm was passed. They were
then relieved from their uneasy position by means
of the basket and ladder. They seemed little
for wear, and ready to resume their work again
yesterday and by night have all in place ready
again.-Roch. ado. July II.
