Boston, April 4.  Extract of a letter from Newbury-Port,
March 15.  On the evening of the 5th instant the several
bells here were tolled from 7 o'clock to nine, and two drums
muffled were beat through the streets, and a number of young
persons followed in procession, with as much solemnity as if
they had been attending a funeral.  I imagine considerable
improvements will be made another year on this procedure.
