 40 in number. Each wore on his breast a badge " Bunk-

 of war they used in the tight. 



Then followed between one and two hundred Rev-

 priate badge. They were succeeded by the Masovic

 thousand of the fraternity, with their jewels and rega-

 the implements of Architecture to the Walter Builder, 

 with orders to erect the .Monument on the true princi-

The benediction beingrepeated, the G. M. pronounc- 

 ed the ceremonies ended. 



The procession, wbicli was inside the lines, llsen 

 cl?eered, and salutes were fired on Bunker-Hill by the 

 Charlestown Artillery, Capt. Saunders, and on Copps 

 Hill in Boston, by the Sea Fencibles commanded by 

 Lieut. Lewis. 



The precession then moved to an amphithealrlcal 

 area, where accommodations had bei n made, on a most 

 ample scale, for the accommodation of the auditors of 

 the Address of the President of the Association. They 

 included a large portion of the norlh-eastern declivity 

 of the battle hill. In the centre of the base, a rural 

 arch and bower, surmounted by the American Eagle, 

 was foinied for the government of the Association, and 

 some of the Guests, in front of which, after ihe vener- 

 able Mr Thaxter had addressed the Throne of Grace, 

 the Orator, *«(> C(f/o, pronounced an Address, which 

 none but its author is capable of doing justice to in a 

 summary, and will be printed and read with a pleasure 

 equalled only by that which electrified the vast assem- 

 blage who listened to it for nearly one hour and a quar- 

 ter. It is enough for us say. that it was in every par- 

 ticular worthy of the celebrity of the orator, and that 

 his address to the silver-headed worthies of the Revo- 

 lution, and to the distinguished Guest of the Nation, 

 filled every heart with transport. On each side of the 

 bower, seats, with awning*?, had been prepared, and 

 were filled by over one thousand Ladies, from all parts 

 of the Union, presenting a spectacle of animated beau- 

 ty and intelligence.

Alnlinmn. — We learn that a survey is to be made the 

 present season, of the route of a canal to connect Ten- 

 nessee and Alabama, by uniting the waters of the Ten- 

 nessee and Coosa rivers. The distance to be excavat- 

 ed. Is only nine and a half miles, and the greatest ele- 

 vation no more than 53 feet. The effect of this Clonal 

 will be to make ?.1obile an important sea-port, the de- 

 pository of the rich productions of one hnndreil and fif- 

 ty thousand square miles, '^ extending from the gieat 

 Kanbawa to (he Gulf of Mexico, and from the :>f ex o( 

 the Blue Ridge to that of the Cumberland mountains." 



The Common Council of this City have appropriated 

 $1000, for the purpose of procuring a survey of such 

 points or places in the vicinity, from which a sufficient 

 supply of good and wholesome water may be obtained. 



The expenditures of the town of Providence for the 

 support of the poor the last, year, amounted to $7367.
