THE ?BAC tg REJ , TINOS. THE FIREWORKS AND THE ILLUMINATIONS. Yesterday was observed as a great public holiday throughout the whole metropolis. The (lovernment had selected it as the day on which the termination of the recent war was to be publicly commemorated. The new treaty of Paris was signed on the 30th of March, and the ratifica tions of that treaty were exchanged on the 27th of April ; but as it was thought proper that our first. national act on the occasion of the cessation of the pitiless ravages of warfare should be an acknowledg ment of that Divine interposition which for ever regulates all our destinies, the less solemn demon stration by which it was proposed that the event should be celebrated was postponed for a ' time, and was ultimately fixed for the 29th of May, which is the day on which we are in the habit ot commemorating the birth ot her most gracious Ma jesty. We have no wish whatever to engage here in the angry discussions of politics ; and we believe we are only putting forward an allegation which can give rise to no difference of opinion when we state that the people of this country were animated by no such enthusiasm for the new peace that the prolonged delay in its celebration could excite in them any very violent feeling of impatience. They were content_ to leave the matter wholly in the hands of the GOvernment, and the Government having-resolved -that the re=establishment of our friendly relations with every other nation in the world should be welcomed by at least one splendid spectacle, we were all prepared to make the most of the amusement which had bees provided for us. Fr om an early hour yesterday morning the streets of London wore a very unusual aspect. Some of the shops even of the sma ler class did not open at all, or at least closed some time before noon ; and in almost all the larger mercantile establishments —in the great factories and warehouses—the day was made a complete holiday, so that the great mass of the more industrious portion of the population of the metropolis were left to pass their time at their own unfettered will. The leading thorough fares soon became packed with dense masses. Cileap side i , selt became for once the rendezvous of a crowd, not only as large, but also as listless and unoccu pied, as the Parisian boulevards. We can hardly say, however, that the scene was quite as gay as that well known centre of brilliant indolence. The people here looked less lively ; the dresses were less bright ; and, perhaps, in spite of all our boasted wealth, it, will be for ever impossible for the great mass of Englishmen to present that air of easy gaiety which coin leis one to wonder, and to believe that in the brilliant French capital nearly everybody one meets has nothing else to do but to come forth to see and to he seen, and to live splen didly and happily on some handsome and perfectly secured income. There was not very much in the streets of London yesterday to excite the interest of the large crowds who filled them. Flags floated from houses here and there ; and preparations were being made in every direction for illumina tions in the night-time. But the work thus ac complished necessarily appeared to little advantage in the unfriendly daylight. Among the devices se lected for these displays we noticed more than once the initials of her Majesty and of the Prince, ac companied by those of the Emperor and of the Empress of the French—a very natural memorial' upon such an occasion, as it seemed to us, of that grand alliance which has just authoritatively vin dicated the outraged law and saved the menaced independence of Europe. At the great public offices arrangements were made for illuminations on a grand scale : and among those offices Somerset House was conspicuous for the extent, the variety, and the brilliant colouring of the emblematic de signs by which its frentage was covered. Everybody is aware that nothing can contribute more than flue weather to affect the progress of a great out-door festival, and this is an element of failure or success to which we must always look forward in England with considerable doubt and apprehension. We hal yesterday nothing to complain of under this head. Since the preceding day the wind had veered round to the north east, and we had, in this terror of anxious valetudinarians, a good security at least against what would have been upon this occasion the most disagreeable of all visitations—drenchin g showers. The sun never shone throughout the day; layers of thin grey clouds intercepted his beams; but the keen air was to the dense masses of wan dering sight-seers bracing and refreshing. At night, however, it became inconveniently cold it, the ex posed parks to any people who had to maintain for an hour or two a stationary position. The long day wore on somewhat heavily, for there was little beyond the appearance of the growing crowds to divert one's attention. Each successive hour added greatly to the numbers of the saunter ing masses, who at first passed carelessly in every direction ; but as evening approached they all set in steady unbroken streams towards the parks, which, with their proposed fireworks, naturally formed the main centres of popular attraction. We doubt whether so vast a crowd ever thronged the streets of a great city as that which gathered yes terday afternoon in the leading thoroughfares of London. An immense portion of the inhabitants of the metropolis itself left their homes to join in the gratification of the general curiosity and excite ment; and powerful reinforcements from every part of the country came to swell in this instance the native host of sight-seers. All . the railway com panies brought to town by excursion trains or by the ordinary trains, at the price of a single journey for a return ticket, thousands of people from the districts along their lines, eager, no doubt, to wit ness the novel spectacle of a great national display in the shape of a peace rejoicing. THE FIREWORKS IN HYDE PARK. The great objects of public curiosity in London yesterday were unquestionably the fireworks and the illuminations ; and we shall here proceed to furnish our readers in the first instance with the best account in our power of the former of these spectacles. There can be hardly any persons among us who are not aware that the proposed fireworks had become the subject of some discussion in Parliament, and that several mem bers of the House of Commons seemed disposed to bring the Government to account for their deter-_ mination to celebrate the return of peace by any such exhibitions ; but afcer that determination had once been definitively taken, the people at large quiet )r acquiesced in its adoption, and looked with some interest to the grand pyrotechnic display with which they were in consequence to be favoured. The authorities charged . with the superintendence of the arrangements had very properly resolved that the fireworks should take place in different portions of the metropolis, and had selected for this purpose Hyde Park, the Green Park, Victoria P irk, and ; and they had also very judiciously determined that the exhibitions in the three parks should be of precisely the same character, so that there could be no reason why the crowd should col lect particularly in one of those localties. At Primrose -hill alone there were to be some special figures or devices, and the exception, in this case, was probably owing to the peculiar nature of the ground in that quarter. We now subjoin a copy of the - official programme for the display of fire works in the three parks, which was to commence at half-past nine o'clock and to terminate at eleven o'clock. THE GREEN PARK.

The juvenile shout of " Ho, gal-loon !" will act with magic force in precipitating staid house holders and money-grubbing shopkeepers into the streets, to watch the aerial.machine and its cargo of verdant greens in the progress from Vauxhall to the E;sex marshes. The shrill scream of Punch at the corner of the Adelphi will turn aside the sedate and podding mer chant or banker from his course City-ward ; and even grave divines, learned barristers, and sage legislators, f.rgetful alike of polemics, law, and politics, will stop to enjoy a laugh at the freaks of the little wife-kirer, The twang of a banjo, the scraping of a fiddle. and clat ter of the "bones," by a party of Whitectiapel diggers, will sometimes have the effect of blocking up a thiirough fare for half-an-hour, and taxing the utmost energies of a detachment of police to restore order and the usual regu:arity of the traffic.

Fireworks had been let off and public of illuininat.d on the re storation of peace in 1815, as well a on similar occasions previously ; our red-tapists, therefore, decide that the same must be done in 1856, unconscious, as it would seem to u., how much the national mind has grown above these things ; that it has come to regard the ex penditure for such purposes as mere wasteful extrava gance, and is apt to speculate—vulgar soul- I—upon the works of beneficence and charity which, ju nisly ap plied, the money might have effected. Bot. a truce to these reflections, and let us come to the 'proceedings in the Green-park. The situation of this park is familiar to everybody.

We had also a profusion of revolving wheels, stars, and other images, tilling the heavens with floods of magical light, and dazzling and per plexing the eyes of the beholder. Our readers, how ever, will find these sights described more at length in other portions of these columns ; and we close this part of our notice of the business of the evening by offering the willing testimony of our unqualified admiration to the unexceptionable con duct of the vast mass of the people who assisted at PRIMROSE-HILL AN 1) REGENT'S PARK. The illuminations in and armini li,-genCs-park were by no means of a brilliant character ; indeed, th .y hated a very mild degree of joy for the peace oh tae par, of the inhabitants of this quarter, to ju rgs, from appear ances. The terraces—ramely, Gloucester, Chester, York, Sussex, Hanover, &c.—were more or less lit up, but the devices offered no attempt at novelty ; a star, a line of lamps, or a sprinkling co coloured paper lanterns, were the ever-recurring lorniA, and the splendour of the scene was by no means overpowering. In and around Primrose-bill, however, the illuminations were excellent, though the absence of novelty in a, raugetuent arid in device was manifest on those points as well as in the ad jacent park. The letters V. R., or V. N., err V. R. arri N. E., or the words " Peace," " Unity," " G')od will on earth to miv,," or some sitniar phrase, were the highest efforts at literature exhibited ; while in the matter of device, as already sta.ed, a star was the pre vailing emblem. Long before the hour official y announced for the pyrotechnic display on Primrose-hill, a c rusiderahle number of persons had c rliected withi.; the enclosure ; but at no period of the night was their nurn.ers what could be justly designated very large. The fireworks on Primrose-iiid differed in some re l i - spects from those in the parks, consisting, as they did, almost entirely of what are called aerai pieces. The elevated site, the unencumbered neighbourhood, and the large space that could be enclosed without incouveni ence to the public, were doubtless the causes why thi= difference was made in the selection of pieces; and tb;• result justified the arraugeme , d. At half-past nine o'clock, the apprinted hour, accord- :ugly the proceedings opened with a series 01 brilliaul illuminations in white, green, and yellow fi res, acc nipsused by a continuous discharge of maroors. This was fel !^sved by a flight of rocket., batteries pearl i•trearner , = : araehut shells, red and i.reen r•eket,;, bale airi j eilow shells, batteries of mires, roquih , . tournillr n-, , i,rp.,nts, gold streamers, tailed stars. p: ail silea - mls. crackers tir o b a ll oon s, a n t i green lehalls, variegated stool's, this interesting exhibition. We did not happen to see a single policvmen in the park duri ng th e evening, and we may add, that if any policeman were present upon the occasion , there did not at any moment arise the slightest necessity for the intervention of his authority. We ought perhaps further to observe, that the illumination of Lord Ward's mansion in Park-lane attracted, in preAeuce even of the fireworks them selves, a portion of the public notice. The whole exterior of thi s fi ne building was one glowing mass of brilliant li g ht, arr anged in forms of Perfect sim plicity, but of the most dazzling effect. .. 100 .. 10 finally by a fountain, the best piece in the entire pro gramme. Several flights of rockets contained as many as a hundred each flight ; and it cannot be denied that these and the paraebn'.4 shells were really excellent pieces f pyrotechny. Nevertheless the sameness of the several divisions, rocket succeeding racket, shell succeeding shell, blue fire, and green and white fire, and yellow, following in regular succession at fixed intervals, com municated a certain sameness to the exhibition which was extensively felt by the crowd who witnessed it. The eight was favourable for displaying fireworks to the best Advantage, as it was dark and comparatively still ; but, notwithstanding the combination of circumstances, e sense of weariness was pereepLble in the demeanour of he . - Teat bulk of the persons present, and many of them ceire'oelited aloud upon the tiresome as well as the costly character of the evenieg's entertainment. The last grand explosion, therefore, had no sooner taken place than the inulte.ude turned their backs upon Primrose-hill, anni poured through the park and down all the roads leading to Regent -street in a rapid stream, nor ever one e— " Cast one longing ; lingering look behind," Before midnight had seunded Primrose-hid was as lonely as usual. It should be added that the attractions peiet were greatly increased by the fireworks in Hyde-pack, tne Green-park, and Victoria-park, which were distinctly visible from all parts of the outer en closure, presenting a very beautiful panorama to the Fpectater. VICTORIA-PARK The preparations UT illumination in the neighbour hood of the park were not very general ; but when night came on there was a sufficient number of }wines lighte.: up to give the localltiv around a very pretty appearance.. Ode house on the Park-road was ihutnipated by Chine , e lanterns—a nude of lighting that the Parisatis rnake_ve;.v._ effective .I;ak Ateonesesintr' — A - gin 'palace on the Hack iiey-rnad haft e name of "Florence Nightingale," in letters of gas, all across its large front. This simple and pretty tribute to our illustrious countrywoman elicited repeated cheers from those who passed the house on their way to the park. On the same road was a transearency, representit.g the Queen and her Royal Consort b ueding over the sea in a particular:y cool and collected manner, the marine deity who did duty in the box of the chariot in which Queen Victoria was seated apparently soliciting her Britalinic Majesty's directions as to the course his steedc were to take. The artist did not tell his story very clearly ; but obscurity is a privi lege of artists and poets, and in this case the work, which was not at all I a fly executed, was received with great enthat by the crowds who viewed it on their way past. By nine o'clock all eyes ware directed to the enclosure within which the fireworks were to be discharged, and every movement in that direction was watched with 'intense anxiety. Everywhere were there people —even thronging scaffoldings erected on housetops. The "signal rocket" was awaited with an excitement that only reached its climax when, after that essen tially pyro'echnic screech which farcibly-ejected fire w .rks cause iii or , gres.s upwarls to the atinaepaere, the brilliant stream had nearly reached the clouds, and bad comnieuced it descent as a -hewer of some thousands of many-coloured stars—then came that peaceful salvo which fern times I g passed has always in the minds of the E glish people bees. a-soc ated with thoughts of loyalty awl re,p-ct for their Sovereign the Royal salu N nf 21 guns; again, an ascent of rockets, each going hi4h• r, anti diffusing its brilliant shovers over a wi ler circle than the former. Next the well-known and ~ :ver-,.ttractive Bengal fire, f Unwed by eccentric—very eccentric indeed wheels. Tne changes from angry ca-cafes to limpid fountains, and thee to trees with eel ?stial foliage, were rapid and iilea- , ing ; but they only in seme measure prepared On tspectatora 4e Kbat was coming in the fee d'artt:fice, a died the "Chronn.trope,'` whose ve rieties see.ned as endle , s as those of the kaleilosc..,pe. rhis rises of pyroteemy was sure unded by a dazzlina belt of flame. asplaye of crimson fires tint .611,, of Its ian etreauders were ev- , rywhere exhibiting their gran .iaur at the 'ante time.

Elyria') ima4itiatiens wera conjereff rip oy aerial hen (wets, that seemed 'oil!, fl: Parsalpe. A 't•tuetting " flight of reckets teeipsed the gentler radiance of the fiaater • ; no less than 100 of the former having rushed :In higi..l in one coup, amid the enthintiastio plaudits of the thou-ands who wiaaessed their fiery flaht, and the hues, various as the rakbnws, of their starry showers. A very ingeninv, curieus, and kaleidoscopic contrivance attraoed au immense *meant of attention. It cam , merle d with three serpents ; which pursued each other through the air with blazing animosity. These reptiles were, we pr-sume, supposed to have devoured each other, or to have undergone a process of metamorphosis; for, in their place, appeared three suns, any one of which would have been sufficient to have lighted the world of Victoria-park. More changes of all kinds, mere flowers, fixed stars, every-coloured fires, and then " Jack-in-the box " discharging a quarter of a hundred of rocket• at each of several explosions. Some minor, but beautiful, pieces followed ; and the next grand display was a ho rizontal rocket-wheel, which, amongst other petfor maexes, sent up one continuous column of fire direct from the base to the height of a sky-rocket. Again, stars, wheels, and rockets—we were almost going to say ad nauseant, for really there were too many of them, brilliant and beautiful though !they un doubtedly were. The people appeared to feel that there was too much of one thing, and a general wish was expressed that the "attack on Sebastopol," which wa? to wind up the pr , ceedings, should commence. In due order the finale did arrive, and certainly it was an ex ceedingiy grand affsir of its kind. It consisted of a fountain of 12Ib gerbes, a fountain of Roman candles, a Guilloche, a Saxon cutting-piece, batteries of pearl streamers, tourbillens discharges of bale, yellow, green, and red rockets, 50 Of each ; and then commenced a galaxy of fixed fires of magnificent devices, and a grand flight of no less than ten thousand rockets. The effect of all this blazing cannonade, which lasted for some minutes, was exceedingly fine, and called forth loud and repeated cheers from the assembled multitude. Within the encl,sure darkness at once " reigned su preme ;" but till the small hours of the morning the masses were wending their way home from the East end scene of the peace rejoicings,' - - • GREENWICH AND WOOLWICH. The illuminations were not all confined to the metro polis. Most of the little towns round London had their own displays, which the inhabitants seemed to pre fer to all the glories of the metropolis. For brilliancy and variety of decorations Greenwich and Woolwich were conspicuous. The former town may now be said to form a portion of London ; and, indeed, along the whole length of the otherwise dark and dreary Old Kent-road the spectator was never out of sight of some device, either of gas or coloured lamps. Along the High-street of Greenwich there was a rea'ly fine display of stars, mottoes, and transparencies, while above all, in the bright night air, floated the Cgs and banners of every conceivable nation, and of many that were not concilvable at all, At Woolwich there was even a brighter show. The large gates of the Arsenal were arched over with gas mottoes and devices; and the hole of Wellington-street. and the High-street were radiant with innumerable rays. A. c:msiderable number of Londoners appeared to have been drawn to Woolwich under the vane impression that the pyrotechnio display at that pace was to be superior to all the exhibitions in London. It is needless to say that nothing of the kind took place ; though, for the consolation of those so disappointed, we 'nay tell them that there is to he one for the private edification of Lord Pantuure, we believe. on the 4111 of next June. Stan:ling upon Blackheath-hiF, the pedestriati usu al!) sees a hazy, faint-lighted streak in the horizon, which indicates the where:about:, of the huge metropolis; but last night the aspect of the scene was changed, and indeed even those who can wed remember the peace r joicings of 1814 were astounded at the view of Lon don from a distance. It -seemed as if the whole city was a lake of fire, which the clouds reflected with a dull aid angry glare. From four points of this lurid mass rose up great fountains of fire—from Primrese bill, the Regent's, Green, and Victoria Parks. The hues of these great streams were incessantly changing, like fiery rainbows, while ever and ancn sounds like the rush of a mighty sea came upon the ear. It was not like the usual dull, heavy buzz to be heard over Lon don of a night, but a deep angry, swelling sound, which, with the unnatural light, seemed as if some great cala mity was impending or taking place. The aspect of Loudon from a distance seemed terrible, and suggested anything'but th e p eace rojeicings of 1836 to the minds of the spectators. ---- THE ILLLUMINATIONS. FASMIONAILE RESIDENCES.
