The dcafening shouts that quickly
burst upon the air, again and again, and
again echoing and re- echong, were
only eclipsed by the roar of cannon which
spoke out as if from one voice, in such
laundering peals as seemed to shake the
city. The effect was sublime beyond de.
scription, and cye-witnesses, impressed
with all the circumstances attending this
great political triumph in the history Of
the world, declared it one of the most
august and interesting spectacles ever
exhibited. Immediately after the cere-
monies Mt Federal Hall, the President
and his retinue proceeded to St. Pauls
Chapel, in Broadway, where prayers
were read by Bishop Provost, admirably
suited to the occasion. In the evening
the city was brilliantly illuminated, sur
passing anything of the kind New York
had ever seen.
This entertainment is but a foreshad-
owing of coming celebrations of a similar
character, arrangements being in progress
for great public meeting on the 3Oth Of
April next, with the still further view Of
Ell international exhibition in New York
on the one hundredth anniversary Of this
great notable inaugural event to which
oil the nations Of the world are to be in
