The streets were crowded at au early hour by throngs of colored people, mostly In gor geous garments, and all with smiling and ex pectant lacee. The principal event of the day was to be the militia parade, and as the hour of len approached a large crowd gathered at the rendezvous on Broad street, while little knots of colored spectators were to be seen all along the Une of marob.

It was commanded by Colonel Wm. N. Taft, and had the usual full complement of mounted officer?; who were wild with excitement, and went galloping hither and thither at the slightest provocation. Everything being ready, the band struck up "Yankee-Doodle," the order to march was given, and the regiment preceded bj General Smalls and his staff, led by Its gal lant colonel and seconded by the Irrepressible Major Sam Dickerson, proceeded np King street for the- purpose bf "meetingthe Union League and Longshoremen's Association which had assembled at the corner of Meeting and Calhoun B tree ts; The members' ot the first I named society carried batons in their bands, and wore sprigs of olive In their hats. The marshals of the day were mounted, and wore I extensive blue sashes by way of designation. The procession was formed with an open car-1 rlage, containing the speakers Of the day and Congressman Bansler, separating the civil I from the military. The marob was then com-1 menced, the Une being down King to Hase), I through.Hasel to Meeting; thence to Market, through Market to East Bay, and down East Bay to the Battery. The procession was attended by a dense throng of colored I men, women and children, which took possession ot the sidewalks to tho abso-l Inte exclusion of non-interested pedestrians. I Arrived at the Battery the military were! drawn up between the muslo stand and the j water front, and wera exercised In the man- j nal of arms, while the speakers and members I of the Union League ascended the. stand, j and the Longshoremen's Association sur rounded it.

There were at one time about three thon sand colored people of all ages upon the Bat-1 te ry, all of whom seemed to Imbibe enough I happiness .to laat them until the next Fourth I of July. But while all were there for plea-1 sure, there were not a few who had an eye to profit also, as waa forcibly attested In the nu-1 merous refreshment booths whloh had sprung up on all sides as if by magic These were not slow In doing a prosperous business after the thirsty members of the 'procession bad I been tnrned at large. Th* celebration passed off In a remarkable quiet and orderly manner, not a single dis" I turbonce of any kind having occurred. A Novel Presentation.

About Ave o'clock yesterday afternoon Thomas Walen, John O'Brien and Ben Thomp son, three white men, attempted to set ont In a small boat tor Fort Sumter from the Cus tomhouse wharf to complete a rather bibulous celebration of the day. As soon as they had entered the boat their want ol equilibrium caused her to rock from aide to sida, and final ly to turn bot'cm upwards, spilling the party Into the dook.. They succeeded, however, In catching hold of the boat, when their abouts speedily apprised the neighborhood or their perilous situation, and they were finally drag ged upon the wharf -through the efforts of Lieutenant Fordham, two other policemen and the crew ef a passing boat. One of tbem after getting"upon bia feet displayed ala grati tude by attempting to chastise one of the policemen who rescued him.

Gibbes, son of James S. Gibbes, Esq., and junior of the Arm of Messrs. Gibbes A Co., of this city, sailed for England on a visit, panly ot business and partly ot recrea tion, and recent English papers bring ex ' tended accounts of his marriage on the 5th ultimo to the daughter of one of tbe large manufacturing proprietors of North Cheshire. The Manchester Guardian ol the 10th describes at considerable length the ceremonial at the Church of St. Margaret's, with the attendant festivities, and tbe names ot the principal ladles and gentlemen who were present. The bride was Miss Kate Jones, third daugh ter ot Thomas Junes, Esq., ot Timperley Hall Cheshire, a venerable and ivy-crowned .man" sion in the vicinity of Altrincham, the grand dining ball of which furnished ample space for the seating ot the wedding party of fifty-five guests, beeiden the gentlemen walters and the j large retinue of servants. The following ac connt of the bridal ceremony la taken from I the Altrincham Guardian of the 7ih ultimo: On Thursday morning a very large congre gation assembled at St. Margaret's, to witness the nuptuvlB of George E. Gibbes, Esq., of Charleston, South Carolina, to Miss Hale Jones, third daughter of Thomas Jones. Esq., of iimperley Hall. Tbe morning was fine for the season, there being a keen frost., but tbe roads were dry, and therefore comfortable. A large crowd assembled outside to see tbe arrival of the wedding party in about twenty carriages. Inside the OHurcb a targe congregation had as sembled. There was full choral ; service.. The choristers in their surplices met the bridal party at the'door of the church, and preceded them singing as a processional the hymn No. 212 of Hymns Ancient and Modern. "The voice that breathed o'er Eden." The choristers filed off to their stalls, and the bridai party, proceeded to the altar. 1 he Ber. Canon Birch conducted the service, assisted by the Bav. B. Hodgson. The bride was conducted co the altar by ber father, who gave ber away. She was supported by eight brideemaiSB. The bride was attired in a white silk dress, trimmed with frills of tulle, headed by broad bands ot satin and bows of tbe same; wreath of orange blossom, Bteshanotis and jessamine ved of tulle; diamond locket and earrings. Tbe brides maids wore white muslin, trimmed with Valen oienr.es lace, with sashes and bows of geranium pink ribbon. The bonnets were of tulle with the same colored ribbons and convolvulus ; tulle veils over the face and falling to the bottom ol tbe dress behind. Bach bridesmaid wore a plain gold locket with the monogram of the bride and bridegroom. The lockets were pre sented by the bridegroom. The group pre sented, aa the bridal party were before the altar in the beautiful chancel of thia grand cnuioh, waa very picturesque. Besides those whose names we have given there was a very numerous party of invited friends. The musi cal part of the service was admirably rendered by the ohoir, Aa the bridal party left tue' chan cel the choristers lined toe chancel, and tbe orgimist, Mr. J. M. Field, gave with fine effect Mendelsohn'B Wedding Manu. As the oar nag es drove away the bells rang merry peals, and continued to do so at intervals during tbe afternoon. After the ceremony the ohoir was entertained s>t luncheon in the Unicorn Hotel. Tho wedding party were (taven to the resi dence of che father of the bride, Timperly Hall, where an elegant breakfast was provided. At half-past two the happy pair drove off amid many expressions of good wishes for their future happiness. They travelled to Loodon eu route for the South of England, where they will spend the honeymoon. An arch of ever greens, with the words "May they be happy," waa over tie entrar.oe to the road leading to the ball. In the evening a ball was given to a numerous party|of friends. After a brief visit to London - and other points In England, the bridal couple sailed for this country on the steamer Oce nica, and ar rived in New York City lastBunday. They propose to remain a few dayl In Mew Tork and Washington, and will probably reach Charleston during next week and take pos session of the residence on Water street, near the Battery, formerly known as the Bigbton Mansion, which has been recently filled up tor their reception.

An Ohio paper says: "We are glad to see that many of onr citizens are taking advan tage of the low price of corn to lay lo heavy supplies ol lt for fuel. We have experimented with lt tbe last week, and find that lt ls an ad mirable substitute for both wood and coal, and that at present prices there ls both economy aod comfort in its use. A ton ot corn, thiriy three bushels, at seventeen cents a bushel, is |5 60. We consider this equal to a cord of hard wood, a supplied and measured In our mar ket, at S7; the cutting of this corn, SI 50-total, 18 50. Thus maklog a saving of nearly three dollars a cord. For kitchen fuel lt is superior to wood, except hickory, and cheaper than that. It makes a very hot Ore, wltn a great deal of blaze. We judge that three tons ol' corn are equal to one ton of hard coal, while In economy ot Its uee lt Is equal to one and a halftone of coal. In a small family and email houses there 19 always great waste of bard :oal, while there ls none in the use ot corn."
