WlLLlAMSBURGH ITEMS.
The GRAND esterday
the citizens of this late village celebrated by pro-
cesson, dinner, and other reoicinss the birthday Of
their City. The proceedings were very interesting,
though somewhat ominously commenced the night
before by miniature riot, of which we have the
following account 1t will be recollected that An
OK, roasted whole, was 70 be an item Of the feast
This exhibition. which has been anticipated fos
some time past, came of on Uniop-av., near South
'u-s'' S"' aS'0"' - a. A-"s vhs. II was intended
source OF rational enjoyment, 1. was a scene Of
such a character as was scarcely worthy OF bar
barous na.isn. The arrangements for cooking the
of the mos. miserable description, such, in
fact say the least, have led to the unpar-
donable waste OF one half OF the meat in addition
to which, there was shameful derehction OF duty
somewhere IN not making suitable provision for tho
preservation OF the peace The fire was lighted
about o'clock, and Ia a few minutes the carcass
was entirely enveloped IN smoke and fame. At 10
O'Clock number OF boys carried away a neighbor's
prvy, and placing 1t against the OF, LEFT 1t to burn
Wood was then piled upon and against it so that
before another half hour hal passed it was COM
petely charred and by III O'Clock the cNcass was
being dragged by vagabonds about the streets A
special constable, We told, severely beaten
for interfering, but we have not learned his name
nor whether he was mucn injured. Portions OF the
CARCASS were placed upon the stoops Of his Honor
the Ma, or, Daniel Mauer, Esq, and several Of the
Aldermen
This was rather bad beginning. bat 1t was not a
matter Of much moment, excep. as show wing the ne
cessity for proper Police force.
In the morning the streets were alive with prepa-
ration, the bells were rung and hundred guns
belched forth their deafeniDg salute.
The procession, which was a fine one, began 70
move at about o'clock In the following order:
