CATBARiNE HAYEs.-Thc English
and French papers come to us with
highly lattering notices Of this lovely
cdntatrice, whose concerts are attrac-
ting more attention jus: now, than any
other musical affairs. The London
Globe in noticing recent concert, says ::
Miss Hayes's voice, from its ex,raor-
dinary compass, admits Of her accom-
plishing all kinds Of singing with equal
ease. The song from the "Prophetc"
was really splendid effort and pro.
duced an immense sensation. Miss
Hayes's soprano and contralto notes
were heard to singular advantage, and
the manner in which she took the high
es, note and descended to the lowest,
without the least effort, was certainly
extra ordinary. The beauty OF her mid
die tones, also, was evidenced in this
song. The famous "Ah non giunge,"
from "SonnambuIa," was a mole daz-
zling and striking feat Of vocalizat on.
Here Miss Hayes seemed to riot in ex.
cess OF tioritye and in passages of great
est difficulty, again without the slight
est strain on her voice. Nothing could
surpass the facility of her delivery and
the rapidity with which the ascending
and descending scales were taken. The
fair cantatrice was enthusiastically APP
plauded IN both her songs, and was re-
called after each.

Up The celebration Of the Fourth,
In this town. passed of very PLEASANTLY.
The procession was formed at . o.
clock. on the Parade, by the Ch'ei
Marshal Of the day in the order pre-
v,ously announced; the procession
moved through the principal streets to
the First Baptist Church, where the
exercises took place. The Singing was
by the Newport GIee Class, under the
.lEection Of Dr. Thomas W. Wood the
ss~aic was excellent aud gave the higl 4.
est satisfaction to all present. An aP-
propr,nie and impressive PRAYER was
offered by the Rev. MIR. Adlam. The
Declaration Of Independence was well
reaa by Mr.. Vanzandt; and the Ad-
ar.s-es were appropriate and interesting
with The exception oi some ill-timed and
improper remarks which were made
casting censure upon the Committee Of
Arrangements, and which had no foun-
dation in truth or justice.
Al the close Of the services at the
Church, the procession vas formed again
and proceeded to the Bellevue Hall, es-
corted, as before, by the Newport Brass
Band, p aging very sweetly. The ta-
bles in the Hall were amply spread
with nice things, and the children num-
bering about 500, partook Of the excel
len, COLLATION., and I'll appeared to en-
Joy themselves. The eatabes were
furnished bv the Committee, and the
tables were spread and arranged under
the direction Of Mr.. Hazard and Mr.
Peckhnm, and Mr.. Tilley his energetic
assistants. Everything was in order,
and all the arrangements were so ad-
mirable that there was not the slightest
confusion Of any kind. The Band was
stationed at the entrance Of the Hall,
and played during the time the children
were eating. At the close the children
Of the Senior Schools sang several pie
ces, under the lead Of DR.. Wood. AZ
ter this, the children returned TO their
homes.
The bells Of the several churches
were rung during the usual hours, and
q salute was fired at Fort Adams, at
noon.
The carriages which were used in
the procession were generously furnishs
ed. free OF expense, by Messrs. John G.
Waiver, William z. Tenant and Will
linn Dean.
We do not hesitate TO say that this
celebration was one Of tn. most inter-
es,ing which was ever witnessed in this
town, and seemed to give very general
satisiac lion. The children were all We.
ry nea tIy dressed, and their behaviour
wis praiseworthy in the extreme, and
reflects The highest credit upon their cx-
cellent and efficient Teachers. Every
one must admit that the appropriation
was well and judiciously expended, and
We have no doubt that much good will
result from it. We trust that hereafter
our national birthday will be celebrated
in the same manner, for it is all import
Ant to cherish aud perfect our Public
School system. to the highest possible
grade and such an observance Of the
Gay will have a tendency to interest
youthful minds IN the character Of our
institutions and the nature Of our form
OF Government. And as these children
grow older and become men and women,
they will have formed such correct opin-
ions as viii make them good and useful
members Of society.

%We take pleasure in calling the
attention OF our readers TO the adver-

another column. This establishment u.s.
at the Stone Bridge, in Tiverton, l2
miles from this town, is one Of the most
Delightfully."- located places in the coun-
try. and the road leading to il cannot be
surpassed. The hotel is large and az:
mirably arranged, having been built
within the last three years, and no pains
or expence have been spared in supply
ing it with all the most modern i'm
provements. The surrounding scenery,
particularly from the hills in the rear, is
most beautiful, commanding view Of
the ocean IN all its majesty, Narragan-
set and Mount Hope Bays, with the
numberless islands therein, and all the
towns and villages which are scattered
along their borders. The fishing is un.
surpassed, as all kinds Of fish may be
taken from the Bridge which is directly
opposite the House. The bathing lal-
so very fine, and there is attached to
the premises a large and convenient
stable, a Ten-pin alley, &c. There is
also plenty of game in the vicinity. The
rides about the adjoining country are
wild and romantic in the extreme, and
cannot fail to please every one who may
be seeking for pleasure. The house is
kept by MIR. Hodges young man
whose life has been passed in the busi-
ness, and whose efforts are INCREASINGLY
devoted to the comfort and accommo-
dation OF his guests. Go out there and
spend lew days, and you will thank us
