SHOREHAM.

The news of the victory gained by the allied forces in
the Crimea and the taking of Sebastopol baying been
spread about, the ships in our harbour, amounting to
about thirty, were decorated with flags in honour of the
victory.

SWANSEA.
The news of the taking of Sebastopol was early an-
nounced to the inhabitants of this town by a public no-
tice, signed by the mayor. It was received with the most
lively demonstrations of joy. The bells of the parish
church pealed forth strains throughout the day ; a band
of music paraded the town, giving martial airs. The Eng-
lish and French ensigns were seen floating together from
many a vessel in the harbour, and from the Custom-house,
Town-hall, and other public buildings. The mayor ad-
dressed some thousands of his fellow-townsmen from the
steps of the hall, in his official robes, at the close of which
the air was rent by deafening huzzas, and cheers for our
gracious Queen.

EDINBITR,GH.
The bells while I write (says our correspondent, in a
letter dated Monday), are ringing merry peals,
in cele-
bration of the grand 'victory in the Crimea, the intelli-
gence of which reached this yesterdiy, but was generally
known only this morning.

PERTH.
The special messengers, coming north with despatches
by the mail train on Saturday night, received at Perth on
Sunday morning telegraphic despatches containing the
stirring news from the East. One posted to Balmoral, by
Spittal of Glenshee, to her Majesty : the other came north
by railway, and posted from Aberdeen to Haddo House,
the residence of Lord Aberdeen. The latter came back to
Aberdeen the same afternoon, with despatches from the
Premier to her Majesty.

SEAFORD.
On receipt of the intelligence of the victory at Alma by
the Allies, flags were hoisted at this ancient and loyal
town by the master-gunner of the battery, the coast-guard►
and by Mr. Henry Simmons, the Mayor of Seaford.

CARDIFF.
A telegraphic message, announcing the above glorious
intelligence, was received by our Mayor, John Batchelon,
Esq., on Sunday evening last. His worship was at the In-
dependent Chapel at the time, when the Superintendent of
Police conveyed the letter to him. The former immedi-
ately posted the gratifying intelligence outside the station-
house, when crowds of persons collected round the build-
ing to read the glorious victory attained by the Allied
Powers over the Russian despot. On the following day
(Monday) the bells of St. John's church sent forth merry
peals throughout the day, and a salute of twenty-one guns
was fired from the Pier-head, the shipping being also de-
corated with flaunting colours, &c. Fresh rejoicings again
took place on Tuesday, on receipt of additional intelli-
gence, and somewhat more satisfactory accounts, of the
fall of Sebastopol. The band of the Royal Glamorganshire
Militia played in front of the Guildhall, where large pla-
cards, containing a summary account of the days news,
were posted up. The crowds of persons assembled in front
of the hall gave three hearty cheers for the su%coss of the
Allies, the band playing " See the Conquering Hero
Comes," and appended the "National Anthem." A sub-
scription to defray the expenses of bell-ringing, &c., was
set on foot, and the most national spirit has taken hold
of all classes in the ancient and loyal town of Cardiff.

DUBLIN.
This city was in a state of excitement all day on Mon-
day, in consequence of the receipt of telegraphic messages
from London, announcing the capture of Sebastopol on
the 25th ult. Although not implicitly believed, the intel-
ligence caused great delight amongst all classes; and in
the evening, when a later telegraphic despatch came to
hand, throwing some doubts on the victory, there was a
very general expression of regret. However, the fall of
the great Russian stronghold in the Crimea is here looked
upon almost as a matter of certainty, although the event
might be delayed a little.

THE Moons AND FORESTS.—The reports this year
froth toe grouse moors are excessively scauty. The
fact is that, instead of sport, the grouse shooting is be-
coming a task. The birds have got so very wild that
it is more a business of grouse stalking than grouse
ohootiag.—SCotenfo.
