THE CITY.

In the city the illuminations were not general. Fleet-
street was by far the lightest, and east of Bridge-street
the devices were few and far between. The Royal stan-
dard, the Union Jack, the French tricolour, were visible
in the daytime, and here and there was to be seen an
expanse of white linen with a crustaceous-looking
monster thereon, whose antenhpa and eyes savoured of
Gravesend. The Herald's College, however, required
the beholder to believe it the Prussian eagle, in spite of
its ignominious exterior and cockchafer-like attitule.
The Mansion-house and Guildhall could boast no
more than the usual lamps of the pavement. The
India-house and Bank of England were dark, and
even the Post-offico only declared its sympathy with
the love-letter public by the exhibition of Eng-
land's Royal flag. The following is a list of the principal
illuminations :
