BosToN, June II, 1843.


The storm Or yesterday ceased during
the night, but the sun rose amid fogs and
scattered clouds, giving its light wa
terry appearance, and portending rain
during the day, the wind being still
northeast, and the air damp and chilly.
At an early hour the sound or martial
music rose from the numerous compa-
nies collected in Boston during the pre-
ceding three days, and the clustering Of
military and citizens toward the magni-
ficent common, commenced at 7 o'clock,
and continued till near 10, at which hour
there must have been 100000 persons
within the enclosure. At the same time,
the streets through which the process
sion were to pass were lined with eager
expectants-the balconies and windows
glowing with waiting faces. Already
Bunker Hill, and the approach to it from
Boston, were thronged by thousands
The military were generally under
arms by 8 o'clock, and in position on the
ground by 8. The New England Soci-
ETY. Of New York, some 400 strong,
formed in Summer street, near College
Green, and marched into the common
about 8.


1t was past 10 o'clock before the pro-
cession began to move from the denseIy
thronged common, and nearly 12 when
the Lancer Guar ds of Boston, forming
an advance, reached the superb glacis
on the northeast Of the Monument, which
had been chosen as the site for the CEN
tre of the celebration-the officers stand
being on the outer side Of the oblong
square, facing the Monument. At this
time, salute was fired from the navy
yard, and the bells of Boston and Char
lestown rung out stirring pesls. On the
northeast steps OF the Monument Square,
facing the officers stand and the glacis,
seats had been reserved for fifteen huns
dred ladies (price twenty-five cents eachl
and early occupied in good part. The
Monument Square itself, elevated some
ten feet, computed to give standing room
10 10000 persons, was nearly filed be-
fore the procession made disappearance,
while mass of individuals lined each
end Of the glacis, previously cleared by
the Norfolk and New Bedford Guards.
Hon. Dan1. Webster, orator of the day,
though assigned place in the carriages,
came in by himself nearly an hour be-
fore the procession, and was welcomed
with repeated cheers.


Precisely at half-past 12, the head Of
the regular procession reached the
ground, then clouded by the cannon
smoke from the navy yard. The mili-
tary halted outside the area, formed in
double lines facing inward, to let the CT
vic procession pass through and into the
square ahead.


At quarter to o'clock, the head of
the procession passed into the oblong
square between the officers stand and the
monument, the brigade bind in front.
followed by the Executive committee in
carriage, escorting the President and
suite in carriage drawn by four SUI
