_Fou'irra.--A.s the ,boys say :."Monday
was'a - goad Fourth." We :hare never - knovrn,the
people to make'such a general turn out on the an
niversary of Independence. ,
There were nopolit
feat gatherings; no military parades; 4et . theie
Nvere no jack of exciting 01:1IttEements: . The Pic-
Nies, the - Circus, the Theatre, the steamboat excur
sions, the private parties, the jreligious and other
celebrations, were well attended. The ice cream
Saloons were well filled -during the entire day. We
saw nor heat() of no drunkenness, nor fighting, nor
conduct of any kind that would bring disgrace
....upon the city. The Police had no employment,
2 1rxcept the arrest of a boy occasionally for shoot-
Wing-crackers.
Dogma:re Pic Nic.—We were among those
who asiembled in Rural Valky on Monday, to
celebrate, in a manner most appropriate,the anniver-
MUT of American Independence. The party was
not wilarge as had been expected; many who had
prepared to-join it, were disappointed on reaching
.
_the river, to find that the boat had gone. It. Li esti
mated that fifty couples were thus cheated out of
the day's enjoyments.
At. about 8i o'clock the steamer Camden left
the landing, above the Suspension bridge, with the
'Company, numbering 300 ladies and gentlemen.
After they were landed at that most delightful
grove called Rural Valley, (Barker's farm) about
four and a half miles up the Monongahela. Here
we at once observed that every thing had been pre
pared, that Would conduce to the pleasures of the
Tarty. Mr. Affer, with his band, was on the ground;
'most ample provisions for the table, ice creams &c.
'were visible, and waiters in abundance were there.'
'Banners were hoisted in proper places: The peo-i
i ple of the neighborhood assembled in considerable
"numbers "to witness the ceremonies." The dahce
began with much spirit, and was so kept up with
few intermissions, during the day. Before noon the
Camden had come up with another load, which
with those who arrived in other conveyances,
swelled the Company, in all, near 400.
There was excellent order preserved; not an in
cident occurred that in any way gave pain to a per
son present. All expressed great satisfaction at
the manner in which the whole affair wastnanaged;
the gentlemen who had the control, and, who have
abored for days previous in making the arrange
ments, deserve great credit for the style and mag
nificence of the affair. We are glad to hear that
the sale of. tickets will recompense the Duquesne
Company for the out lay.
The boat, with the party and the fragments
from the table on board, started on the return trip
at about .5i o'clock P. M. Some sports were in
dulged in during the passage. The Rev. Steven
son delivered two addresses, one on .The Fourth,'
'and anothir on Matrimony. The latter was, of
course, for' the benefit of the ladies. While in the
fervor of his discourse, a rascally and troublesome
fellow pinned some crackers to his coat tail and
then applied the incendiary cigar. Some confusi
on followed this; but the speaker was not discon
certed; he proceeded, until a collection was raised
for him. Several cotillions Were organized upon
the deck, to the music of the violins.
Itrairr KIND OF BENEYOLENCE.-4I will be re.
collected that the sermon delivered by Rev. Dr.
lE7pfold, which we published last winter, elicited a
letter of thanks from an Irish Catholic Minister,
which letter we - "else published, as our readers
know. The latter paper, having been read by
some benevolent man of Baltimore, he has sent
the annexed note to' Doctor 11., which speaks for
itself: It will s be observed that it is anonymous..
The Doctor intends forwarding the money by the
next steamer. Those who desire to add to it, can
leave ,their cOntributions with Wm. A. Hill, Wood
street, whofurnisbes the bill of "'exchange without
charge.
BALTINOILL, July 2d, 1847
REVEREND & DaLn Sin :—I send you the in
closed sum, (seven dollars,) to be sent to Ireland
to the Irish priest, whose letter to you I saw in
one of our papers some time since.
I only wish it was within my means to send
more at present to those poor half-starved people.
ANGLO-CATHOLIC.
Rey. Dn. IJPFOLD.
Tux GREET Warr.--We heard the sermon of
Rev. Dr. Riddle, on the subject of the Great West,
through portions of which he has recently been
journeying. It contained much statistical infor-
Mation that would be valuable; he pronounced
some good ideas in regard to the destiny of our
country, and the West in particular ; but his de.i
nunciations_of Western radicalism we thought in
bad taste. We hope his sermon may be published;
there is enough good,init to pay the expense, and
Nvt` fear not what we regard as the hard hits a: the
progressive spirit of the Western people. ••
nj'At the Circus, which exhibited here during the
aniversary week of American Independance last
year, the crowds who then frequented the perfor
mances were innurnerab!e,:and excited a great deal
of attention. At Spalding's Circus, which has
been exhibiting hero during-the past four days, at
each representation, fall one thi rd more persons were
present, and what has never happened before we
think, at each successive performance' hundreds of
disappointed applicants fur admission lamented
the insufficiency of the Pavilion, which already
was containing about 5000 souls. On Saturday
and Monday evenings, not less than 1500 persons
*ere refused admission to this Leviathan Pavilion,
already crowded to its utmost capacity. Notwith
standing this unprecedented throng, the greatest
drder and decorum prevailed, within as well as
*ithout the Circus.
• This immense troupe have left for Wheeling
Cincinnati and Louisville, by way of the principal
4outes in Ohio and Kentucky.
gzr The following communication we received
through the Post office yesterday; we give it as it
came, without comment :
PROPERTY HOLDERS, LOOK OUT!
Those who pay a yearly ground rent, are only
bound to pay taxes on their property, it being
valued at what it is worth with this encumbrance
upon it. And the drawer .of the ground rent is
to pay taxes on the principal (g.what he draws.
.See to it, that your property is not valued in fee
simple, as though there was no encumbrance upon
it. Provided, however, that there is no clause iu
your deed, binding tyou to pay the ground rent.—
Perpetual Leases on deeds are only ground rent,
and not Limited Leases. See:to it, then, and do
not pay the taxes that the wealthy drawers of
grotind . rentashould pay, and that the law imposes
on them; but which the officers of the law, in the
majority of cases, do not.

CLAIIIVOTANCE.--:The exPerimentss on Monday
afternoon were very successful. We understand
that Mr. D. N. WHITE, late of the Pittsburgh Ga
zette, who has always been scepticel in the mattes
of mesmerism, was on the committee, and announ
ced to the audience his conviction that Miss Mar
tha did not see the objects she so minutely descri
bed with the natural eyes.
In the evening, the experiments were not so suc
cessful as in the afternoon, but were, nevertheless,
satisfactory to the audience Dr. ..emoyne,' (of
Washington,) very improperly intei'fired, and re
pented the ridiculous story related l.)y Murray, in
regard to " Wilson." He wasredulseidin good style
by Mr. Gruorr, who stated that he would convince
the people of Pittsburgh, that the tidy could read
bandaged as the Doctor proposed,l but that he
would make no experiments for the gratification of,
people-who had insulted him. We (thought Mr.
G. took a correct position
There will be another exhibition this evening,
at the Onsox. We would request ;ill who wish
to be astonished, to attend. -;
THE TELEGRA en —We observe that this sprighl
ly little paper has changed hands. Mr. L. A
CLAaK having purchased the interest of T. W.
Wright. The paper will be published hereafter by
Brian & Clark. We are glad to learn that the es
tablishment is in a flourishing condithan.
Accinsivr.—Ai James S. Craft, Esq., was riding
in his carriage on Saturday, something °mined
that caused the horse to kick him in the ankle,
which resulted very seriously. The physicians
have taken out two pieces of bone.
cc? The Brotherhood of St. Joseph; took a cele
bration on the Fifth, an account of which was not
given us in time for this morning's paer.
A JAN Arco ♦ Roasr.—Such a jiirn as there
was at the Theatre on Saturday night, we never
saw before; and it was insufferably hot The dress
circle was crowded with ladies at an early hour
in the evening: some were sent to thOsevond tier,
and we saw several so high as the lObby. Both
galleries were full. It was the Eourthi of July and
the last appearance of the Lehmans May the
worthy Manager be annoyed with ()tiny more
crowds of the kind.
MR. OXLEY'S BSNEPIT.—This evening is set
apart for the benefit of that most exellent actor
and gentleman, JOHN Ozt,rr. 'We will not refer
to the attractions of the bill which be offers, to
induce peOple to patronize tio Theatre to night,
for Mr. 0. has other arid better claims upon the
liberality of our citizens. We do ho'pe he may
receive such encouragement as his merits deserve,
—a crowded and fashionable house.
DEATH OF RICHARD FIDDLE, ESQ —We are
pained to learn that the Hon. Richard ißtddle died
at his residence in this city last eveniUg, at about
six o'clock. Mi. B. was one of the b'est lawyers
in Pennsylvania ; was for two terms almember of
Congress. He was a wan who comrnanded the
respect of all parties by his uprightneis as a citi.
zen, his candor as a politician, and his talent ar, a
