Company of Eew-York fireman arrived in this city
last evening about O'Clock, by the steamer Jenny
Lind. The whole Of the Moatreal Fire Brigade, a.
teLded by four bands turned out to receive them;
fully thousand citizens were also assembled aud the
enthusiastic cheers which they received must have
convinced them, II previously they had any doubts,
that they were "heartily welcome" procession,
and it was an imposing one, formed and proceeded
through NJ Gill street, Great St. james street, around
Place dArmes, and down ST. Francois Asvier street
10 the Mentrea House, where they put up during their
brief stay in Montreal. Our friend Coleman had the
pretty little fountain, of which spoke yesterday,
feet was very beautiful. K line Of asgs was hung
across from the hotel TO the Custom House Amercu.
No. have their machine with them, and it is spicy
looking one; they accompanied by Dodworth
celebrated Brass Band, and the soul stirring sounds
they produced, as they marched through the city,
were greatly admired. The men that composed
the fire company are as able bodied set Of
fellows as we would wish to see. Their dress
consists of light drab pants, with red flannel Shirt and
regular fireman hat; also overcost Of same material
pants. Later in the evening the ball and supper
took place in the City Concert Hall. Shortly before
Line the New-York fremen arrived, and almost i'm
medately after His Worship the Mayor took the
chair and opened the proceedings Of the evening with
fe remarks. II was not his intention to make
long speech, but merely to congratulate them upon
their arrival Captain Bertram and the Fire Brigade
he knew would do all in their power to make their
stay agreeable. He knew something Of the firemea
of New York. He knew what they could do and
there no set Of men more respected in the United
States than the twenty hundred fremen Of New
York. He knew what they had suffered ia the execu-
ton If their duty some laid upon beds Of sick
ness and not unirequently life lost But this did
not prevent them from doing their duty. The iremen
of Monlre al had not been slow in following their
ample. He paid them compliment, aud then sat
down, hoping that the New Workers would enjoy
themselves.
Csrtain Be,trsm, Chief Engineer, then ssd few
words in which be alluded to the great pleasure it
gave the Montreal fremen to receive their brethren
from New York, ard their regret at the shotness Of
their stay still he hoped it would be pleasant one.
Foreman Tweedy Of Americas Engine returned his
sincere and beart thanks for the enthusiastic recep-
ton they had receved-for the kind words which had
Just been expressed, for he knew they such as
came from the heart. His Company were making
briefs h!ipg-visit through their own Northern
stay in Montreal they had no idea of receiving more
than the brefest courtesies; but the warm reception
they had received would not be efaced by time and
would remain among the hsppiest recollections of
their life. He returned thanks on behalf Of his own
Company and Of the entire New York Fire Depart
men and he hoped that at no distant day they would
be able to take their Montreal brethren by the hand
and chow them some OF the sights OF the great me-
tropolis of the United States
Mr. Turner Of the New-York Fire Company then
followed in very pleasiDg address. He thanked the
Montreal firemen for the reception they had given
them and said there sentiments the Mon're
alers could express but that would be warmly recp
rocated by every heart present. He paid cOmpi-
ment to the Queen, who, he said, as it were but
a lass, yet one of the lovees women that ever sat
upon throne.
Thomas D. niece, esq, next spoke. He said that
perhaps be was called upon to welcome the New-fork
iiremen from the fact that he formerly citizen
Of New-York, and that it was naturally to be sup
posed he would be glad to see them. He alluded to
the friendly feelings which now existed between the
two countries and recommended that il even this
smallest spark of ancient luminosity could be dlscov-
cred, that the iremen play upon it and put it out.

dancing was commenced, and continued with great
vigor till an early hour this morning The red uni
