breeches and caps. The Cadets are composed of
youths from thirteen to seventeen years of age,
and are admirably disciplined Their appearance

well deserved courtesy. Leidy's martial music ac-

The line of march was taken up from Cav street
at three O'Clock, and the regiments proceeded to
march through different streets of the Western
part of the city until after six o'clock when they
were dismissed. The different companies looked
remarkably WELL and went through the exercises
in a creditable manner.
The City Guard Battalion assembled at their ar
mory at one O'Clock The American Institute Hall
had been secured for the purpose of forming the
battalion, and it was opened at one O'Clock for the
reception of visitors, tickets of admittance having
been issued. BY two o'clock more than one thou
sand persons had assembled in the Hall, most of
whom were ladies'. Volandt's excellent band with
thlrty-iour instruments, had been secured for the
occasion, and discoursed delightful music. The
City Guard entered the Hall about two o'clock in
companies, and for more than hour drilled first
in companies and then as battalion The differ
ent evoutions were performed with marked preci-
slon At quarter-past three o'clock the Guard
left the armory, preceded by Volandt's band, and
took the route published in yesterday mornings
paper, when they returned to their armory and
were dismissed.
The entire parade surpassed anything of a SINH
lar character which has taken place in the city for
several years past.
THE Cry RAILWAY DIsTURBANCEs.-Th diff culties
In the prosecution of the work upon the CITY Passen
ger hallway do not appear to have yet approach
ed their termination 1t is not the fact as stated by
some OF our contemporaries Yesterday, that Messrs
Disney Co. have abandoned their contract On
the contrary, they have signifed their desire and
readiness, as we learn, to go on with the work so
soon as the unlawful interference with their opera
tons shall have ceased. They have, however, per-
emptorily refused, are informed to accent
the dlctatlon OF the consprators their friends,
as to the laborers whom they shall employ, or the
wages tney shall pay. 1t is this proper and in
dependent stand upon their part, for which they
deserve and will receive the support and approba-
ton OF the conservative body of the community,
that has given rise to the rumor of their having
abandoned the enterprise. Doubtless the wish is
parent to the thought among the rioters and those
who give them countenance.
Mr.. Sweeting, one of the firm of Disney Co.,
addressed the crowd, we are told, yesterday morn
ing, and informed them that Mr.. Brock, the agent
OF the Philadelphia proprietors had offered to
guaranty the payment Of the extra wages demand
ca, Tor three weeks, provided D. d Co. would en-
Pioy the workmen sought to be forced upon them
by the end of that time Mr.. Brock supposed that
the troubles would be over and d. & Co. might
again employ their own men at their own rates.
MIR. Sweeting added, however, that Mr.. Brock was
an irresponsible person, and that Disney d Co. had
refused his offer. The allusion to Mr. Brooks cal
culations appeared to give turn to the feelings of
the crowd somewhat adverse to the popularity of
that gentleman, and the welfare of his soul and his
eyes.
Messrs. Shoemaker & Co. themselves. we hear.
undertook the work of Disney 4 Co. in the after
noon, though under considerable difficulties and
with horizon by no means clear. Until they and
all concerned shall adopt the manly course pursued
by the sub-contractOrs and the CITY authorities
shall resolve honestly to maintain them in it apy
expedient of concession must be temporary as it
is disgraceful.
We are pleased to be able to state that the more
overt attempts at disturbance, made by the rioters
during the afternoon, were promptly suppressed bv
the police; Sergeant Thompson, especially, behay-
ing with much energy and spirit.
DRowHED.-A man named Daniel Steiner was
