The details of this most numerous and imposing procession ever seen in any American city, cannot be given without more space than we have at command. The grand Canal celebration in its aquatic display, exhibited a feature wanting in this but in respect of numbers present in the procession, and in the thronged streets as spectators, this exceded that, as indeed it could hardly fail to do, taking into consideration the vast increase in the population of the city since 1825, the period of the Canal fete.
