day. The procession moved from Four
teenth street shortly after 10 O'Clock. A
drizzling rain was then falling, which in
half an hour became perfect deluge, &C.
companied with frequent peals of thun-
der. There was no interference or dis
turbance. The procession marched down
the Bowery, passed the City Hail. pro-
-ceeded up Broadway to Fourteenth street
weere it was disbanded. r,
Tie procession, as il ended, presented
a sorry spectacle. despite the cheering of
the professionals and the inspiring
strains of the musicians. The tri-
umphal car, which bore "R9ma
Antigua" was almost wreck. Its can
opy had been carried away by one of the
telegraph wires along the Bowery, and
the whole structure rocked to and fro
like weather-cock. The pedestrians in
the parade were besmeared with mud and
soaked with rain. Some surprise was
manifesto at the non appearance of the
militia regiments invited to attend. When
the procession disbanded, numerous cars
were in waiting to convey all who wished
to go to Suffers East River Park, where
the remainder of the day will be spent in
festivities of different kinds, including an
address by SiguOr Corradi, the singing of
national hymns, eack racing, etc. In
addition to the festivities, it is intended
to present Signor Nestor Corradi, the
president of the general committee on
Italian celebration, with valuable gold
medal in token of friendship, and in ad-
miration of his noble qualities and the
great good he has done in this country
for the cause of Italian unity.

publican Association last evening, a pro-
test was made against the Customhouse

lions either in New Orleans or New York,

Greeley GrumbIing.
Horace Greeley is displeased at the
charges accusing members of the Union
Republican Association with being infu-
enced by Tammany and of the statements
of the opposing Republican city organ
ization that the boiling of the Tribune
has hurt the party and says that the Trib-
une is believed to have upheld the Tam
many plunderers, or injured Republican
interests. The proper way is to vote
its friends out at the next State Conven~
ton. But whatever may be done, Gree
ley is for the party, even though his
ability to advocate the cause be dimin-
ished by the follies of the opposing fac
tionists.
