THE NEW YORK HERALD. ; WHOLE NO. 6522. MORNING EDITION-MONDAY, JULY 3, 1854. PRICE TWO CENTS. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. Seventy -Eighth Anniversary of Ameri can Independence. CELEBRATIONS IN THE CITY ANO ELSEWHERE. To-morrow twenty-five millions of free people Will unite in celebrating the event which gave them the privileges they now enjoy, troni the Atlantic to the Paciflo shore? from the forests Of Maine to the savannahs of Florida, the glad shout Of rejoicing will be heard from the rising of the sun onto the going down of the same, typifying that time, not far distant, when the flag of these indepen dent Btates shall be acknowledged as the palladium Of equal rights throughout the world, and when the mm shall not set upon the celebration of our na tional birthday. The celebration of the day bid* fair to be, this year, certainly equal, if not superior, to any tha has preceded it. In some of the Eastern towns the people, deluded by clerical influence, at first re solved not to celebrate the day ; but we believe tha'. this hasty step has been reconsidered in avery in fctauee. Tn Bostou there is to be, a celebration oi jui usual brilliancy, and the new city government in tend to makti some alterations in the style of get ting up, refusing to follow the precedents of former years. In Providence, also, there will be a celebra tion, with any amount of fireworks. THE DAY IN NEW YOKK. The public oflices will all be closed? the Post Ufilce will remain open till noon, when the mail for the steamer Canada, which sails from Boston for Liveipool, will close. The day will be officially ushered in by the firing of a national salute from the Battery, but every body who hath earn to hear will probably be made aware of its approach at imidnight, by the voluntary salutes of juvenile patriots. The principal feature of the city celebration will be the military parade, and we append Gen. Sand ford's orders to his oommand :? FIB8T DIVISION NKW YORK STATE MILITIA.

Within the past fortnight three cargoes of ne groes hove been landed in the immediate vicinity of Trinidad, belonging to Messrs.

To facilitate the landing ?f said arrivals, a man by the name of Martin, late Lieutenant Governor at* Raracoa, was recently installed Governor of the district, and Alvevui, who was found a little too honest, except for doing afftirs upon his own hook, was removed, tu der the e.vuse that he was altogether too lax iu his supervision, and allowed too much facility for this crime. The Captain General despatched or ders, by the Iuid mail to the new Governor to seize the three cirgoes of negroes forthwith, ? but the evening pretfous a special messenger had left the Palace, Don P? o B ? r, and by oteacaerfrom Rata banao, was tlree days in advance of the Vice Royal will at Trinidad ? closed the negotiation, and dis persed the negroes beyond the reach of Mr. Martiu, or of Genera. Pezuela. The number of negroes that have pmscd under this arrangement to the " Bweet toil " of Pezuela, reaches near one thousand ?and the difference between the affirmative and the negative of th< most "noble Mnrqids in this case, has been In favor <f the first by the sum of forty-two thousand five hundred dollars, in the pocket of his vice Serene Highness ; and large compensation has been found by nil the participators in the fraud.
