DUBLIN, TOESDAY.

Ireland echoes back the shout of triumph for the fall
of Sebastopol. Never did news cause such a thrill of joy
within the memory of the present generation, The glo-
rious intelligence reached Dublin about a quarter past 5
p.m. yesterday, by the telegraphic wires, and wasi in-
stantaneously communicated to the newspaper offices by
the manager of the Magnetic Telegraph Company, Mr.
Langster, who displayed the utmost zeal and energy on
the occasion. In a moment placards made their ap-
pearance, the news spread with the rapidity of lightning,
and in an inconceivably short time it seemed to have
reached every ear, and every heart too, and a general
murmur might be heard, as if the city joined in one
prolonged cheer. The excitement was extraordinary.
Every one congratulated his or her neighbour, and
every one's heart appeared to expand with the joyful
news. The account which had reached Dublin by tele-
graph so early as nine o'clock in the morning, of the
capture of the Malakhoff, might be said to have
partly prepared the public mind for the triumphant
news which followed in a few hours after ; but the truth
is, that the second news came with almost as much /ir-
, prise as if the former had not preceded it. The failure
at the Redan had thrown a slight damp on people's feel.
ings, and it was feared that Russian pertinacity would
have found encouragement to hold out a little longer;
but now all cry, " Thank God it was not so."
Last night people watched with expectant ears for the
sound of cannon from the Phcenix-park, or the joyful
bells from the church towers, but they were disap.
pointed. No doubt, however, we shall have joyous
peals and grand salutes of artillery this day to celebrate
the news, and it is probable that the city will also be
illuminated; but as yet no arrangement for any public
rejoicing could be made.
The Frain ale's Journal, in announcing the news, says
—" Everything that military skill, dauntless bravery,
gallant hearts, and stout arms could accomplish was per-
formed by the devoted garrison of the fallen citadel.
But steady and sure as is the progress of European li-
berty, which the flags of England and France have united
to defend, was the advance of men still more gallant and
resolutely brave—men who fought not at the bidding of
an autocrat, to whom they were true by the hereditary
habit of serfhood, but who fought in defence of prin-
ciples dear to them as the happy homes from which they
went forth, but so many of which are now, alas, desolate
for ever ; and, though brave men were ready every day
and every hour to fill the places of those who fell behind
the batteries of the doomed city, it was not in fate to
withstand the united assaults of the armies of free na-
tions battling for the liberties of Europe."

LIVERPOOL, TuEsgAv.
The intelligence of the capture of Sebastopol, brought
to hand at an hour yesterday when the majority of the
merchants had left off business, was received in the Ex-
change News Room with loud cheers from those present.
The news spread with a celerity perfectly astounding,
and created the greatest excitement. It was also an-
nounced from the stage of the different theatres, the audi-
ence in all cases being most vociferous in their applause.
The bells of the different churches have rang merry peals
at intervals to-day, the royal standard has been hoisted
in front of the Town Hall, and the union-jack floats over
the various public buildings—in many cases in conjunc-

tion with the French tricolor. The line of docks and
river present a gay appearance ; many vessels are show-
ing all their bunting.

.lIANCHESTER, TUESDAY.

The news of the Malakhoff having been taken reached
Manchester yesterday morning. Intelligence of the eva-
cuation of the south side of Sebastopol was not published
by the earliest telegraph here until about six in the even-
ing, and although it spread rapidly, so many people had
by that time left the central or business part of the town
for the suburbs, that it was not generally known until
this morning. Of course the news gave rise to much
congratulation. The Town-hall, the Exchange, and
hundreds of private buildings hoisted flags, and some cf
the church bells gave forth merry peals. This being the
great market-day of the week, when the country raanviac7
