THE NEWS AND THE NEWS Boys.—The startling news
of the taking of Sebastopol, which reached the city yes-
terday afternoon, created an unwonted excitement
among all classes. The merchant, the broker, and the
politician were of course all largely interested in the
great event, and the anxious inquirers who besieged the
Bulletin office in search of particulars, after the rumour
of the fall of the much-talked-of fortress had been whis-
pered, attested tae interest felt in the intelligence. The
attaches of the office kept " mum," however, until the
particulars were in type and on the press, when the fact.
that "Sebastopol est pris" was announced on a placard
outside the door at half-past two o'clock ; and then com-
menced the fun among the news boys. The news spread
like wildfire among the urchins, and a general rush for
the second edition was the result. No other paper had
as yet issued an "extra," and the boys, with their usual
shrewdness, knew that the first in the market with the
details would make a ready sale of papers. The boys, to
secure the coveted sheets, fairly chambered over each
other's heads in the room where they are supplied with
papers, and when they obtained their supplies they rushed
" like ma l" through the streets, entangling themselves
with passing vehicles, and creeping between the legs of
omnibus horses in their eagerness to get abroad with
their bundles. The clamour made by the boys was as
amusing as their movements. One shaver, with a pair
of lungs out of all proportion to his puny size, bellowed
out lustily) " Extree bulleteen ! Sebastopol takin by the
Rooshins ! Second edishun I" Others announced in
addition a "great fight among the alleys." And a fast.
looking cub in shirt sleeves and a black eye assured a
purchaser that "all about the muss" would be found in
the bulletin. The long.talked.of, often-expected, and
much-deferred fall of Sebastopol has at length taken
place, and the shock has been felt at Third and Chest-
nut-streets, as well as at St. Petersburg, Constantinople,
London, and Paris.

SEBASTOPOL FALLEN !—The moment the news of the
fall of Sebastopol reached this city it spread like wild•
fire, and on every countenance might be seen the great-
estdelight. Persons were running hither and thither
to tell the glorious news to their friends. Flags were
immediately hung out from Dolly's, Hill and Clarke's,
Mr. Jones, of Tattersall's, and several other places. The
Pilot office at once hoisted the union jack and tricolour
on their mast above the office. On the reception of the
news at the High School, it was read to the boys, who,.h
breaking through all restraint, made the roof ring

glorious victory won by the Allies on the Bth, at Sebas-

the services of every tradesman in the city who could be
hired were secured to make the necessary arrangements.
[Our contemporary then proceeds to describe the va•

enthusiasm prevailed, and the editor closes his com-

escaped the infection. "We have da-hed off these few
remarks," he says, " under the excitement of the news,

In Toronto the news was received with the greatest
joy. The newspaper offices were crowded for hours
after the receipt of the telegraphic report. Groups were
formed in the streets to read the contents of the reports.
