Ashton, Bolton, Blackburn, Bury-, Burnley, Clithero,'
Chorley, Middleton, Oldham, Rocialale, and neighbour
hoods come to this, the metropolitan centre of business,
to sell their goods, the Exchange became a buzz of ex-
citement from an early hour, where the probable results
of the great victory were di cussed with merchants of all
degrees and many countries—English, Irish, Scotch,
American, German, French, Italian, Greek, and Arme-
nian. In fact, the news seems to have absorbed atten-
tion in all circles, and amongst all classes, and the most
cordial greetings have been heard on all sides throughout
the day.

since the bill of Pains and Penalties against Queen
Caroline was thrown out of the House of Lords:— It

again to-night in the streets of Oxford.
DERBY.
The news of the fall of Sebastopol was received with
the greatest enthusiasm at Derby. The first intimation
of our victories in the Crimea was received on Monday
morning, when the daily papers announced the capture
of the Malakhoff. This was followed by the Mayor re-
ceiving a telegraphic communication about six o'clock in
the evening that Sebastopol had fallen. The news
spread like wildfire, and the greatest excitement prevailed,
the bells of several of the churches sending forth merry
peals. Copies of the despatch were printed and circulated
and groups of people congregated in the Corn-market,
Rotten-row, Irongate, and other public thoroughfares,
to read, or have it read to them. On the facts being
stated cheer after cheer rent the air in honour of the
glorious victory. After dark, and till nearly midnight,
fireworks were let off, the streets being crowded with
people. On the arrival of the last edition of The Sun
a rush was made to obtain a copy, and Messrs. Smith
and Co.'s stock was soon exhausted. At the Royal
Hotel, the King's Head Hotel, the Shot Tower, Rail-
way Station, and the various public buildings, the flags
of England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia waved
proudly in the breeze. Every one, indeed, seemed in-
toxicated with joy at the glorious triumph which has
been gained. It has been suggested to have dinners to
give a treat to the pensioners,
particularly those resident
in Derby who have taken part in the present campaign,
but nothing has as yet been settled.

EXETER, TUESDAY.
The news of the capture of Sebastopol arrived in this
city last evening, at about half-past six o'clock. It was
immediately conveyed to the Mayor (Mr. John Daw)
1,0044.105tn0 time in making it as public as possible.
Pra,cards were posted about in various parts of the city,
and his worship himself read the telegraphic despatch to
a crowd of eager citizens, who had assembled in front of
the Guildhall. Subsequently a large number of persons
assembled in the Guildhall, where the Mayor, accom-
panied by some of the magistrates and officials of the
city, addressed them, and congratulated them on the
glorious achievement which had just been announced.
His worship observed that the war in the Crimea was a
contest of freedom against tyranny, of civilisation against
barbarism, which observation was vociferously cheered.
The Guildhall was illuminated, the Cathedral bells
rang, the band of the First Dragoon Guards, at th•
Mayor's request, paraded the streets, and thousands of
citizens followed in procession, cheering enthusiastically.
Notwithstanding that the news did not arrive until late
in the evening, some houses were illuminated, and flags
were displayed in various parts of the city.
To-day (Tuesday) the city is greatly excited, and a
general illumination is not unlikely to take place in the
evening.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.

This morning, as his Imperial Highness Prince Na
poleon was leaving Portsmouth, the ships in port fired a►
salute of honour for the victory of the allies at Sebasto-
uol. Several of the tradesmen's chops in High-street,
&c., illuminate to-night in honour of the great event.
L'he r_ews has created the greatest excitement and grati-
fication among ali classes in this borough.

SHEERNESS, SEPT. 11.
A royal salute was fired hers this morning in honour
f the glorious success of the allies. The flag•ship Wa-
terloo led the fire.

SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 11.
Last night this town was electrified with the news of
he taking of the south side of Sebastopol. The intern-
4ence was communicated by the Electric Telegraph
Company, and instantly stuck up at the doors of the
newspaper offices. Crowds were reading it the whole of
the evening. The third edition of The Suva was eagerly
sought after, and every one that came into the town was
bought up instantly. The clubs were full, and the glo-
rious news diffused unbounded joy amongst all classes.
the Brazil mail packet left here yesterday with the news
of the capture et the Malakhoff, and will convey it t 3
Lisbon, the Western Islands, to South America, and
down as far as the Falkland Isles. The nail packet
despatch, which left here later last night than the Avon,
conveyed the news of the fall of Sebastopol to the Chan-
nel Islands. To-morrow the Washington will leave with
the news and convey it to the United States and to the
whole of British North America, where it will be re-
ceived with the greatest delight.
