eral minutes before order was restored, but the serried ranks at last resumed their statue-like repose, and the companies were dismissed to their respective armories. It is doubtful whether such a display of martial enthusiasm was ever witnessed in this country, and the whole scene was calculated to remind one of the wild bursts of enthusiastic devotion with which the Old Guard of Napoleon were wont to hall the appearance of their beloved Emperor."
