The young Gentlemen and Ladies oTj
Bloomsburir and vicinity, celebrated the
National Anniversary in a grove, .near Fish
ing Creek, ab,dut half a mile from this vil
lage. We understand thaf about seventy
gentlemen and ladies sat down to an ele
gant dinner, prepared by Mr.. D. Snyder.
in his usual good style. Tho Deelaialioii
of Independence was, read by. Mr., Samuel
Ycarick, and an , oration delivered by
Mr. William Neal, with which the co.m'pa
ny were highly pleased. After spending a
ii few hours in social hilarity in the cool
shadoof that pje'asant retreat, bordering on
the.bapks of Fishing Creek, , the company
formed a procession, of about an hundred
and twenty in number, (including twotpar.
ties of young Masters and Misses, who
had assembled in the same neighborhood
and partaken bf some good cheer .provided
expressly for them,) headed by a band o
martial music, under the command of Capt
Biggs, marched into town, down First
street, and up the whole length of Centre
street, presenting such an anay of beauty
correct deportment, and jroou order,- in ono
procession, as never before witnessed bv
tho citizens of Bloomsburg. After arrivin
at Mr. Snyder's, the company again par
took of some cooling refreshments, and
then separated with, all the good feeling
that the day is so well calculated to inspire,
after having been passed in so pleasant and
social a manner. .
The Committee of Arrangement deserve
great credit for their exertion in conduct
ing the proceedings, and mote especially
the President of the day, Mr. W. Neal, by
whose active means and ready tact the fes
tivities and pleasures were greatly increased,
and well deserve tfs commendation and
thanks of the company. .,
Their proceedings were received loo laic
for publication in to-days paper.
. , Sub-Treasury Bill.
On the 25th ult.the Sub-Treasury bill was
defeated in the House of Representatives
by a majority of 14 a majority larger than
was anticipated by its most sanguine oppo
nents. The vole stood 111 ayes 125
nays, and 0 absent. After this question was
settled in the house, Mr. Webster introdu
ced into the Senate, a resolution re-establishing
the old state pet bank deposite system,
and Mr. Buchanan also introduced a reso
lution makingi them. receivers of the public
m,opey.upon, special deposite, without the
privilege of using it; allowing the banks a
compensation for their trouble. Both of
these projects were rejected by a decided
vote. It is not now probable tha't any legisla
tion will be, had in Concress, upon the sub
ject, during, the present session, as bolh
houses have resolved to adjourn on the 9th
inst. (, , , .

Singular Coincidence. The Great Wes

announcing the arrival, at this port of the
canal boat Great Western and Sirius, from

Notwithstanding her "chaste appearing,"
