THE ILLUMINATIONS.
The Bank, the Post-office, the Custom-house, and
other public buildings in the City, government offices in
and about Whitehall, the Club-houses in Pall-mall,
Somerset-house, the National Gallery, and other con-
spicuous edifices, will be illuminated with a variety of
devices. Many of the shops, banking-houses, and ware-
houses, from the City to the west-end, along Cheapside,
Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, the Strand, the HaYmarket,
'Regent-street, and Piccadilly,- not to mention other
streets which do not lie in the main east and west
thoroughfare of the metropolis, as well as Oxford-street,
which has a parallel direction to it, will be decorated
with beautiful and costly contrivances ; the railway 'sta-
tions, the great hotels, and the halls of the different City
companies, are expected to have a very splendid ap-
pearance.
A statement of some of the more prominent public
buildings to be illuminated will assist spectators to select
their route.
