The ilintilitiatitins last night, in honour of the
Ildetelid vittoties in Germany; Were as general
lied as magnificent ;is ',night he expected fl-oni a
tlittioe that haS embarked nll its miergiei in the
R90:I cause. The Public Offices, and the houses
of the Regent's Ministers., shone with even more
than usual radiance ; and the windows of almost
every private Citizen and Gentleman contributed
their due proportion to the .gay expresiion of the
' thliverAll feeling.

t.emonstrations of joy. It would be impossible to
trittuierate every instance of grand and tasteful de-
c'huloo. The following were among the matit •

, had the front of his house ornamented with

'instead of tnrusiing a few candles in the windOWS,

Of light. The effect would be twice as brilliant,
and ten tiines more delightful.
The inne. of the LITERARY FUND in Gerard-
street was brilliantly illuminated with P. R.
Ackermnnn's Repositoryexhibited a large trans-
parency, representing Buonaparte in the field of
battle, seated owildrum, his bands under his chin,
and elhOws on his knees ; opposite, oh a dii-
mounted cannon, was seated Death, 'who, in the
same, position, was staring the tyrant in the face.
In the back ground Were seen the French Legions
overthrown, flying, and pursued by the victorious
Allies. A large circle • surnionnted the whole,
brilliantly illuminated with gaS.
We rhall begin our review of the Illuminations
in the City with the India HouSe. howeter,
the display was but meagre ; the whole consisting
of a few festoons of lamps entwining some of ttie
'pillars in the front of the building, and the let-
ters G. R. surmounted with a crown. The gene-
ral appearance was very inferior in brilliancy to
what we have witnessed on former occasions..

• ].loving westward, our attention Was attracted
by the•illumination at the NeW London Tavern,
where the words " Leipsic and Nictory" were
displayed-in large letters toningd of variegated
lamps. The Excise-011ice was but sparingly de-
corated, and presented nothing novel.
The illumination at the,Bank, however, by far
surpassed in elegance and splendour, every thing
else in this qutrter of the nietropolis. The ex-
tensiVe range of building which it presents•pos-
sesses great capabilities of effect, and they were
improved to the best advantage. • The various
compartments of the range were occupied alter-
nately by stars and circles fortnett.by the most
brilliant laMps. These extended throughout the
.whole length of each of the wings ; and the prin-
cipal entrance was decorated by the initials of his
M.ijesty, and a most brilliant star of large (amen-.
sions, surmounted by a crown. The alert of the
whole was highly pleasing, from its extent, regn
larity, and brilliancy.
The Mansion-house was, neatly and tastefully
lighted up. The illumination diet not displav much
breadth, but the interchange and brightness of the
variegated lamps prodUced a pleasing effect. It
cobsisted Of the initials, G. It. surmounted with a
star and crown, and the whole surrounded with
wreaths of laurel.

Guildhall, a G. 8.. a brilliant star between, a
crown over, and a range of small lamps along the
balcony: •
At the Post. (Mice -there was nothing' partieu,
larly'deserving of notice, except that the lung. en-
trance from Lombard-street exhibited a splendid
vista, which it:minded us of the covered walks in
Vauxhall Gardens'. Arches at lamps were suspend-
ed throughout the whole of its extent, and the view
was terminated 4y a star of variegated lamps.
In Cheapside there was little to detain the at-
tention of the spectators. • At one window we oh-
served a well executed transparency of the Spread
Eagle of the Russian and Austrian terms,' but from
its minuteness it was liable to be overlooked.—
There was also no allegorical transparency at the
corner. of King-street', which excited some ob-
servation. It represented Atlas sustaining the
globe Upon his ample shoulders, while the Euro-
pean quarter of it was prominently displayed, as
if illuminated.

The houses of Messrs. PELLATId GREEN, and
of Mr. BAILEY, the glass-manufacturers, in St.
Paul's Church-yard, %vele illuminated.
The latter had the word Leipsidt" in- large let-
ters, surniminted with olive branches, ethblema-
tie of the prospects of peace opening t Europe
from that great battle. On *Ltiiig2ite-hill, the il-
lumination at Mr. &noes merited particular oh;-
servation.

The lludson's Bay House, in Fenchurch-street,
was well lighted up. The only novelty which it
presented were tridents formed of lamps.

Goldarnitl►'s Liall was tastefully ornamented in
the front with festoons of variegated lamps, over,
hung by. a large GAL and a Crown, in golden
letters.

Bridewell Hospital made one of ithe most dazzl-
ing appe•irances : the whole front was one sheet of
fire ; G. it. in very large letters, was on front of
the building, with a crown of the largest (Haien-
slung, and most brilliant effulgence, on top ; the
word " Mina," in very large letters underneath,
and a double row of festooned lamps along. the
base,' and every window arched over with bright
lamps.

In Garden court, Temple, we noticed in the
window of a German Gentleman, we belioe, the
following striking and appropriate tratn,parency :
at one side of the window was an Austrian spread
double Eagle, with the motto underneath, " Vint
Germania," on the other side was a reversed French
Engle, with a falling crown, and the motto, "
Ca-
dens NAVOLEON," in the middle, and " Leipsig"
underneath.

The Office for the Patent Anti-Attrition Com-
position, at Charing-cross, was very beautifully
int:initiated with a Star and an Anchor, and with
the 'words " The Allies anti Victory;'' 'the Star
to demonstrate that their 'cause is bright, dear-,
and good, the Anchor that it is secure. -
The. finvness of the- night enabled the crowds
assembled in the streets to enjoy the gratifying
spectacle without alloy -and as tar as we could
perceive, good order and decorum generally pre-
Oiled. As usual, however, the large space'. in
front of Somerset-house allowed the Mob to as-
semble, and annoy time passengers with squibs and
crackers.
