Last Wednesday, the anniversary of St. Patrick, the tutelar
Saint of Ireland, was celebrated by the natives of that
Kingdom with their accustomed hilarity.  The Volunteers of
Ireland, preceeded by their band of music, marched into the
city, and formed before the house of their Colonel, Lord
Rawdon, who put himself at their head, and after paying his
compliments to his Excellency General Knyphausen, and to
General Jones, accompanied them to the Bowery, where a
dinner was provided, consisting of five hundred covers. . .
