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.
