gratifying to all concerned . The directors properly determined that an event Avhich Avas fraught Avith such importance to the toAA-n should be celebrated in a becoming manner , and the shareholders of the company generally , the officers and men of the Fit ' cshire Artillery , stationed at Pendcimis Castle , the officers aud men of H . M . S .. Russell , iu the harbour , the masters and creAA-s of merchant vessels in the port , the members of the Freemasons' and Odd FOIIOAVS' societies of ConiAA-all , the directors of the raiUvays aud other companies in the county , and others , Avere
invited to join in the celebration—an invitation to AA-hich they cordially responded ; tho masters of the merchant vessels not only promised their attendance , but sending their ships' Hags iu order to add to the decoration of the town ou the occasion . It Avas arranged that the various parties who were to join the proceedings should form in procession on the moor , and walk from thence to the docks , ami that after the foundation stone was laid , the shareholders , officials , Freemasons , and friends to whom invitations had beeu sent , should partake of a luncheon in a spacious marquee in the immediate vicinity . The
inhabitants of Falmouth generally also evinced a lively desire to give due ccldl to thc event . On Monday evening triumphal arches Aveio erected at six different points along the principal thoroughfares of the toAvn , namely , at the top of Ludgate-hill , at the shop of Mr . Slade Oliver , ironmonger , from Mr . AVarn ' s to Mr . Allen ' s premises , in Market Strand , betAA'een the shops of Mr . AVebber and Mr . Banks , across the street at the Royal Hotel , and the last nearer the church . There was also a very fine arch erected at
the commencement of the road leading to the docks . During Monday evening Falmouth was , as might be expected , iu a state of considerable commotion . The operations of the workmen employed in completing the arches , and the parading of a fife and drum band round the streets , together with the anticipations of the approaching ceremony , served to keep the inhabitants in a condition of lively excitement , and the streets were much thronged until a late hour . The great and only apprehension that Avas entertained was that the weather might prove
unfavourable , and detract from the success of the demonstration . Monday evoning Avas cold and bleak , and there AA-ere indications of rain in the atmosphere . During the night some rain fell , but soon after daybreak on Tuesday morning the sky began to exhibit cheering appearances , the clouds broke , anil though a brief shoAver afterwards fell , shortly after nine o'clock the sun shone forth , most gloriously , giving assurance that , so far as the Aveather AA'as concerned , no serious fears AA-ere to be apprehended .
