monarch hai:placed his foot open his breast, and lioldq in one
hand an hour-gla,s, which, almost expended, leaves Ida just
time enceigh to reflect upon the murders and other atrocities
which have attended his wicked career. The other hand grasps
a massive iron spear, with which he is supposed to have been

fallen Tyrant, in an attitude or terror, supplicates Death to qr.-

mounted by a brilliant circle of gas
.lights, indicative of the
union of the world in the holy cause; over this circle again,

the other pannel, eacheenelosed within a wreath of laurel.
The Post-O!ce bad, in Lombardzstreet, G. Re; the whole

the passages.
The (9''.E.v/tind.bad on the front of the centre de-
parttuent, all along the parapet, the words, " Europe Deli

the *even recesses on each of the side whip between the co-
lumns were edged,all round wish small lamps, and a (Inutile
row of festoons at top ; this was one of the finest illumina-
tions we noticed during the night. •
The hairt-Douse, in Leadenhall-street, outdid all the il-
luminations we noticed during the night ; the six massy pil-
lars. supporting the. portico, were. each closely entwined round
with festoons of small lamps; on a panael that filled the whole
department, haviag three pillars on each side, there was a
beautiful plume of -the Prince's feathers, inclosed within a

appearance ; each window was edged round with small lamps,
the doors and along the base had enmble chains of variegated,
lamps, with the words "peace. and Commerce" in great let--
teraalong the front.
Among the transparencies which attracted particular atten-
tion was that at the Reverend RowaaNn Chapel, in
Blackfriar's-road. A large scroll, headed with the words,
" The Tyrant is fallen," gave the following quotations from sacred writ --
" And the pride of thine- heart bath deceived thee, thou
" that dwellest in the elifts of the rock, %hose habittaion is
" high,- that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down t o
the around Thoiant thou exalt thy Self :Lathe eagle, and.
though thou, set thy nest among the clouds, thence will I
" bring thee down, saith the Lord.". Oltad. 3. There-,

ground, covered with Commerce, the whole denoting the re-
pose to whieli the world may now lank forward.

,' henna's and San, near Exeter 'Change, displayed a very
large -star, the centre formed of red, green, and blue lamps,
the rays of dame-colour; also a new patent lamp, which, for
brilliancy and intensity of light, seems to surpass any thing
of the same magnitude that sec have ever seen.

•• • Laurel 'eaves, white cockades, and triumphal
arches, were the order of the night. Instrumental
music assailed the ear on every side. One group
of itinerants, with, a whole length figure of Lu-
cifer, embracing .a bust of Buonaparte, illuminat-
ed and carried onn pole, attracted much-notice.
„ Triumphal arches,..,. imperial crowns, stars df ex-
traordinary splendour, and radiant columns of va-
riegatediamps, might he seen everywhere. Branches
of real laurel, entwined with globular• lamps:, were
t! among the various-exhibitions of the night. The
ma.ssyand far-projectingentablatures in all the lead-
ing streets of fashiOnable celebrity,were ornament-
ed with the French crown and the fleur-de-14.,=,
r.l'lle•cleviees in other streets consited of lozenges,
wreaths, columns, and laurel branches. Streamers
of white ribbon flowed from the baleonieS, and
the cockade was worn by all females of anycondi-
tion.• Round the colonades. in several of the
principal sluares, particularly Crbsvenor-square,
appeared, in vivid light, the mines of Alexander, •
Blucher, Wellington in other sitttations emblem,.
tical shields., The tout ensemble, on the. Whole,
•was completely magical. " •
Between nine and eleven o'clock last night, the
carriages formed a line four deep, below Charing- •
Cross, so ,close, that an opporcunity scarcely•of-
fered, in twenty minutes,. to breitk it. The foot-
men and coachmen all wore the white cockade.
Out of town, on the Western road, Brompton-
.iow Was in a blaze; so was Sloane-street, and
.Catlogan-place. " Alexander, 7 in large capitals,
appeared in almOst every public 'street. The ma-
nifestations of joy, and gratitnde to the Supreme
Disposer of events, were, in short, universal.
