The F1REMEN of the city Of New York had a
grand celebration on Monday last. Besides several
visiting companies, there were in the procession
twenty engine companies, forty-one hose com
panies, and six hook and ladder companies, averag-
ing from twenty-five to fifty persons in each, and
the whole amounting probably to not less than three
thousand active men. Such body as this, accom-
panied by their apparatus, tastefuy decorated with
wreaths Of flowers and other ornaments, could not
but make an imposing display. They were greeted
by cheers from the spectators at every point of their
progress. The Firemen of New York are re-
garded as noble body Of men, and most exemplary
in their conduct. Rarely, if ever, have they been
heard Of as being in any way associated with row.
dyism and riots when called out in the discharge
of their responsible duties.
