Throughout the morning Of Saturday the gala
appearance Of numerous houses along the streets,
and the PapaL colors Of gold and white. floating
from many a residence, betekened the commence
ment OF the celebration. and the gentle showers
| OF the morning proved OF great benefit Ia laying
| the dust. The exercises began at 6 O'Clock, when
| the Guard Of Honor, consisting Of nearly Two

summons OF the sanctuary gong at which signal

salvos OF artillery .pealed over the waters Of the
broad Atlantic in response to festive peals sent
westward from the Eastern Continent. rocket

commencement Of the firing. The Guard Of Honor
had been drawn up along the battery, and the
guuners awaiting the saignal.', The threatening
clouds which had been 6vethanglng the city dur"
Ing the day had been swept of BY the fresh breeze
from the sea, and now stood piled In the north.
west in one grand, gloomy mass athwart which
the glitterng lightning played In zlgzag lines.
Near s.o,clock the looked.for. signal was rushing
up through the gloomy sky, leaving o nery trail
OF SPARKS, aud as It burst into balls OF dame the
