of the whole *as beautiful and splendid.
The streets were crowded to excess, but in the
midst of 'the confweion aid bora* we heard of no
accident or °wt.:ire—all was harmony and deco-
rum. Rockets were set off in various parts, and
about ten o'clock•salvos of cannon were fired from
the Castle, Calton Hill, and Salisbury Crags, Leith
battety. and the ships of war in the Roads, min-
gled oweasiontilly • with feat de joies from the 13. h

The vivid Sashes of the cannon breaking at in-
tervals through the &white., of the atmosphere,
followed by the loud roar reverberated front the
various points of the hollow ground around the
city, gave a very fine effect to the whole scene.
The Castle ramparts were illuminated with bonfires
and torches, and, when seen front ('niter's-steel
and other points, they added greatly to the general
impression.
